Chapter 231: Just Stay Away From Me

"My daughter is a good girl who married you, yet you are fickle and leave her washing her face with tears every day; you must give me an explanation for this matter."

Chu Yue took Chu Fangfei away.

Madam Wen chased her to the doorway, "Fangfei..."

Watching the car leave, she went to find Wen Lvzhong again, "You need to talk to Fangfei properly; what is this talk of divorce? Fangfei is still carrying your child in her womb. If you talk about divorce, what will happen to her and the child?"

Wen Lvzhong let his mother scold him without saying a single word.

Madam Wen was so angry that she clutched her chest and gasped for air.

Cheng Wan persuaded her in a soft voice, "Please don't be anxious; I will persuade Fangfei."

She could see that Chu Fangfei still had feelings for Wen Lvzhong.

Wen Lvzhong's tone was very cold, "There is nothing to persuade. She has been suspicious ever since we got married, and I am already tired of it. If she wants a divorce, then let's divorce. Don't have any contact in the future."

"You... you..." Madam Wen was unable to speak.

She always felt that Wen Lvzhong's personality was not right; he was not the type to bring up divorce right away, especially since Chu Fangfei was still carrying his child.

Wen Lvzhong instructed the domestic helper to take care of Madam Wen, while he and Cheng Wan went to the study.

"What is wrong with you?" Cheng Wan asked directly; she also felt that Wen Lvzhong was acting strangely.

Wen Lvzhong pulled all the curtains shut and turned on the study lights; under the light and shadow, his complexion was somewhat pale.

"I have already found the truth about Qin Xingwan's matter."

Cheng Wan frowned, "Could it be related to Fangfei?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought up divorce the moment he returned.

Wen Lvzhong sat on the sofa, supporting his head, "I guessed from the beginning that it was related to the Chu family, so I married Chu Fangfei. Over these years, I have been secretly entrusting people to investigate, and I discovered that the fire back then was related to Chu Yue and Chu Cheng."

Chu Fangfei was unaware of it, but her surname was Chu.

Sooner or later, they would stand on opposite sides.

Cheng Wan was expressionless, "You have found quite a lot."

But she was not shocked.

Wen Lvzhong was silent for a few seconds, "So you knew all along?"

"A little later than you."

She found out on the eve of going abroad; at that time, Madam Wen found her and told her about Wen Lvzhong and Chu Fangfei's marriage.

Madam Wen knew something about the events of that year, so when Wen Lvzhong and Chu Fangfei married, she thought it over and felt uneasy, so she went to find Cheng Wan and told her about the Bali Town matter.

After Cheng Wan learned of this, and connecting it to Wen Lvzhong and Chu Fangfei's marriage, she guessed Wen Lvzhong's intentions, only by then they were already married.

She secretly entrusted someone to investigate this matter.

Over three years, she had received quite a bit of information.

"Wen Lvzhong, I will handle Xingwan's matter; you don't need to divorce Chu Fangfei for her sake." Cheng Wan was very rational.

Back then, she had persuaded Wen Lvzhong to let go of the past and get married and have children again.

Because Wen Lvzhong had no obligation toward Qin Xingwan.

Wen Lvzhong looked at Cheng Wan; under the light, his smile was somewhat bitter.

He had long since recovered his memory and remembered who he had liked back then. When his confession was rejected at that time, Cheng Wan had also said many hurtful things; in his heartbreak, he ended up with Qin Xingwan.

Looking at it now, it was Cheng Wan's deliberate doing back then.

She had fulfilled Qin Xingwan.

"You know that once I, this person, make a choice, I will not change it. Since I chose her back then, and even have a child, she is my wife, and I will be the one to avenge her."

Wen Lvzhong would not put all that pressure on Cheng Wan.

He couldn't help but stand up, walk to Cheng Wan, and reach out to touch her hair, "Cheng Wan, from now on, just treat me as an older brother."

Cheng Wan's eyes felt somewhat sore, "Thank you for your kindness, but I think we should keep our distance."

She had suffered enough from the brother-sister relationship between Chu Li and Qin Yun Shu; how could she possibly acknowledge an older brother and make another woman feel uncomfortable and sad?

Wen Lvzhong knew her thoughts and said in a low voice, "But you and Qin Yun Shu are different."

Qin Yun Shu was selfish, but Cheng Wan was a person with a sense of propriety; how could she possibly give rise to those kinds of misunderstandings?

Cheng Wan laughed, "Let's just be friends."

Wen Lvzhong was somewhat disappointed, "Alright."

Cheng Wan left the Wen Family and got into the car.

Chu Li was driving; the words reached his lips several times, but in the end, he couldn't help but ask, "What did you say to Wen Lvzhong?"

His mood was restless.

Cheng Wan didn't speak; she leaned against the window, closing her eyes to rest.

Chu Li didn't speak again.

Until they returned to Beicheng Villa.

Cheng Wan was carried into the living room by Chu Li.

He trapped her on the sofa, his deep gaze darkened with jealousy, "Cheng Wan, what did you and Wen Lvzhong talk about in the study?"

Cheng Wan lay on the sofa, looking at him with a languid posture, her lips curled with light mockery.

"We are both divorced people; what could we talk about?"

Chu Li's breathing hitched, his heart pricked with pain.

Just now at the Wen Family, Wen Lvzhong had said the word 'divorce' without any hesitation...

They were indeed a man not married and a woman not wed.

"So you intend to marry him?" Chu Li asked, his heart trembling.

"It has nothing to do with you."

The atmosphere was subtle and deadlocked.

Chu Li could not help but tighten his grip on her wrist, "Wanwan, must we be at such daggers drawn between us?"

He paused, softening his tone, "We still have a long time to spend together, there's no need to be like this every time, right?"

Cheng Wan did not have a good temper, "Then you should just stay away from me."

Chu Li was silent, then he let her go and rolled up his sleeves, "What do you want to eat? I'll go make it."

Cheng Wan looked at his tall, straight back, only feeling that she understood him less and less; her attitude had been clear enough, yet he had endured it.

Since when had Chu Li's temper become so good?

The Chu Family.

Although Chu Fangfei had married Wen Lvzhong, the Chu Family still kept Chu Fangfei's room.

At this moment, the lights were on in the room, and the irritation between Chu Yue's brows was exceptionally obvious.

Along the way, Chu Fangfei's phone had not rung even once, which showed that Wen Lvzhong was not joking about wanting a divorce.

Chu Fangfei sat blankly on the sofa, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chu Yue got angry just looking at her like this, "Chu Fangfei, call Wen Lvzhong and tell him you don't want a divorce, and have him come pick you up to go home."

Upon hearing this, Chu Fangfei widened her eyes, "What kind of words are you saying?"

She had already left the Wen Family, and now she was being asked to go find Wen Lvzhong to concede; was she some kind of lowly person?

On the way back, Chu Yue had cursed Cheng Wan the entire time, and Chu Fangfei felt a fire in her heart just listening to those words.

Now that she was being asked to contact Wen Lvzhong, she felt a surge of anger.

"Since you didn't want me to divorce him, then why go to the Wen Family? And why insist on taking me away?"

Chu Yue said coldly, "I went there to back you up; who knew you were so useless, getting kicked out while pregnant—it's shameful just to talk about it."

Chu Fangfei's expression stiffened; her mother's words were truly hurtful.

Chu Yue frowned, "Truly useless."
