Chapter 230: Wen Lvzhong Talks About Divorce

~7 min read 1,314 words

Assistant Wu understood at this moment that these people were not talents of the group at all, but parasites.

Assistant Wu said directly, "Just wait to be held accountable."

This proposal was like this, and the previous proposals were likely the same; perhaps these two had even usurped others' credit to get promoted.

The two executives gained nothing and could only slink away.

Assistant Wu entered the office and reported this matter.

Cheng Wan was not surprised, "Hold them accountable where it's due; it serves as a warning to those who like to fish in troubled waters."

Assistant Wu thought the same and immediately went to make arrangements.

Chu Li came out of the lounge, saw Cheng Wan looking at documents, and walked over, "It's your first day here, and your methods are already so tough. Aren't you afraid of people talking behind your back?"

Cheng Wan was indifferent, "Let them."

She was only a transition, and it wouldn't matter anyway.

Besides, if she weren't tough, those people would be riding roughshod over her.

Chu Li said nothing, because if it were him, he would have done the same.

Only by establishing authority from the start could one deter those who were restless.

Cheng Wan threw herself into her work, and by four in the afternoon, she received a call from Madam Wen, whose tone was somewhat anxious.

"Wanwan, could you come to the Wen Family? There's something at home I'd like your help with."

Cheng Wan agreed.

The Wen Family

The Wen Family was exceptionally chaotic at this moment.

Madam Wen was always gentle and refined, but her expression had turned ugly.

Yet she had to force a smile, "In-law, the two children have been married for three years and their relationship is very good. Is there some misunderstanding that hasn't been cleared up?"

Chu Yue sat on the sofa, having shed her previous gentle temperament, and was holding herself in high regard.

"Misunderstanding? Wen Lvzhong likes Cheng Wan and even deceived our Fangfei's feelings. He is a scumbag, and I will never let Fangfei stay here."

Chu Fangfei sat to the side, biting her lip, "Mom, I don't want to go back right now."

She wanted a divorce, but she didn't want to return to that home.

Chu Yue glared at her fiercely, "Not going back? Do you intend to stay here and continue being bullied by Wen Lvzhong?"

She was frustrated by her daughter's lack of resolve.

"And the child in your belly, get rid of it immediately." Chu Yue made the decision.

Madam Wen's expression changed slightly, and she could only keep a smiling face, "In-law, please don't be angry. Lvzhong is already on his way back. Let's talk about whatever it is face-to-face."

Chu Yue did not have the patience and pulled Chu Fangfei, intending to leave.

"What is going on here?" Cheng Wan walked in, gripped Chu Fangfei's wrist, and pulled her to her side. "Whatever the matter is, say it here."

Chu Yue's expression twisted; why was Cheng Wan everywhere?

"Cheng Wan, you dare to come here." Chu Yue truly hated Cheng Wan, so she spoke very rudely.

"Why wouldn't I dare to come?" Cheng Wan was not polite, sneering, "They have been married for three years, and you said nothing. Now that Fangfei is pregnant, you come here saying all sorts of nonsense. To have a mother like you is truly a tragedy."

Chu Yue had long since lost the composure she had when she first arrived in Yuncheng.

Her plans had already mostly failed because of Cheng Wan.

The person she hated most in her heart was Cheng Wan.

"Cheng Wan, what right do you have to say such things? If it weren't for you and Wen Lvzhong dragging things out, why would our Fangfei not even want the child?"

Madam Wen was stunned and looked at Chu Fangfei, "You don't want the child?"

She only knew that Wen Lvzhong had sent Chu Fangfei over, saying Chu Fangfei was pregnant and asking her to help take care of her.

Although Madam Wen was not entirely satisfied with Chu Fangfei, she was happy to know she was pregnant, and provided the best of everything for her food and clothing.

But Chu Fangfei did not want this child.

She felt a little dizzy.

Chu Fangfei's expression changed slightly, and she and Cheng Wan helped Madam Wen sit down, one on each side.

Madam Wen held Chu Fangfei's hand, "What is going on with you two? Why don't you want the child?"

Chu Fangfei smiled bitterly but said nothing.

Chu Yue sneered, "It's because Wen Lvzhong and Cheng Wan are not clear with each other. Fangfei is sad, so she doesn't want this child."

"Fangfei, listen to me." Madam Wen persuaded her daughter-in-law, "The matter between Lvzhong and Cheng Wan is an old story from many years ago. They have little contact between them. He is a responsible child and will not betray you."

Madam Wen was willing to vouch for Wen Lvzhong's character.

Chu Fangfei kept her head down and did not speak.

Chu Yue was annoyed, "Fangfei, aren't you coming over yet? They don't take you seriously at all; do you want to keep humiliating yourself?"

Cheng Wan really had a headache. She walked in front of Chu Yue with a stern face, "What do you mean by not taking her seriously? Open your eyes and see how much the Wen Family likes Fangfei. Furthermore, Fangfei makes her own decisions; it is not your place to point fingers here."

"Chu Fangfei, are you dead? Still standing there, watching her humiliate me?" Chu Yue was about to explode.

Chu Fangfei moved, wanting to walk over, but was held back by Cheng Wan.

"Chu Fangfei, I will say this one last time regarding my relationship with Wen Lvzhong: we are just friends, and there is no relationship that transcends friendship."

"If you mind what happened six years ago, then I have nothing to say, but if you are willing, I think he will be a responsible, good husband."

"Don't destroy your own home because of the messy thoughts in your head."

Cheng Wan had been earnest in this matter; if Chu Fangfei still couldn't think it through, there was nothing more she could do.

Chu Fangfei's eyes were misty; she didn't know what to do.

She liked Wen Lvzhong, but Wen Lvzhong...

"Divorce."

Wen Lvzhong stood at the doorway, exhausted; the two words "get divorced" had just been spoken by him.

The room fell quiet.

Everyone looked at Wen Lvzhong.

Cheng Wan could not believe her ears; Wen Lvzhong said divorce?

Chu Fangfei was already streaming with tears, her heart completely dead.

Madam Wen was the first to react, standing up abruptly, "Wen Lvzhong, what nonsense are you spouting? Divorce what divorce?"

Wen Lvzhong supported his mother's arm, letting her sit back down.

"Since this marriage makes her unhappy, then let's divorce; this has also been her wish all along."

"I..." Chu Fangfei had nothing to say.

Indeed, it had always been her talking about divorce.

But... she...

"Wen Lvzhong, marriage is not child's play, think clearly." Cheng Wan's face looked ugly.

It was Wen Lvzhong himself who pursued Chu Fangfei back then, yet now he wanted a divorce.

It was a bit too much.

"Fine, divorce." Chu Fangfei's voice trembled slightly.

She pushed Cheng Wan aside and walked in front of Chu Yue.

Chu Yue said sarcastically, "I told you before, he is not a good thing, you didn't believe me, now you know, right."

"Divorce, divorce, Wen Lvzhong, do you think this marriage is so easy to end?"

Chu Fangfei bit her lip, incredulous. "Mom, what are you saying?"

Just now. Wasn't she the one who said she wanted to take her home, wasn't that just wanting her to divorce Wen Lvzhong?

What was this for?
