Chapter 115: Divorce

The next day, at noon.

The nanny van parked at the entrance of the Shen family home.

Shen Fuyuan got out of the car. As soon as she walked into the living room, she sensed an unusually quiet atmosphere in the house.

On the sofas, Lu Jingshen was sitting on a single armchair, while Zhou Wen sat alone on the long sofa. Both of their faces looked rather grim.

Her mother was sitting right in the center of the sofa, looking as calm as usual.

Shen Fuyuan paused her steps slightly and cast a suspicious glance at them.

Did they have a fight?

But that was none of her business.

Shen Fuyuan found a seat and sat down. She took out her phone and flipped through her photo album. Looking at the little cat in the photos, her mood instantly improved. Sure enough, kittens were the best at healing the soul.

She just didn't know when she could go again.

Her oldest brother didn't seem to get mad last time, so she should be able to go again.

Today was the weekend; her sister-in-law should be free, right?

Shen Fuyuan happily opened the chat window and sent a message to An Ling.

[Sister-in-law~ Are you free this afternoon? Can I come over to see Huihui?]

An Ling: [Sure, I'll be home this afternoon. Come on over.]

Shen Fuyuan's eyes instantly lit up. Great!

Just as she was about to ask if her oldest brother would also be home, her mother's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Lu Jingshen, how much longer are you going to wait before you say it?"

At these words, Shen Fuyuan froze, instinctively putting down her phone to look over.

She saw Lu Jingshen frowning with his head lowered. His expression was solemn, as if he was in a very difficult position.

Shen Fuyuan was bewildered. What was he supposed to say?

She turned her head to look at Zhou Wen, only to find that the other woman's face was also full of confusion.

Mother Shen, seeing this, cast a cold sidelong glance at him.

Sure enough, she still had to do it herself.

She shifted her gaze to Zhou Wen and stated, "Zhou Wen, divorce Lu Jingshen."

As soon as the words left her mouth, both Shen Fuyuan and Zhou Wen on the sofas were stunned.

Zhou Wen quickly snapped back to reality, her face suddenly turning deathly pale. "Mom, what does this mean?"

She looked at Lu Jingshen again, but the man kept his head down, his lips pressed tightly together in apparent tacit agreement.

Mother Shen shot her a disdainful look, her tone cold but exceptionally forceful. "Can't you understand? With that kind of news on the internet, Jingshen is currently in the rising phase of his career, and you will only hold him back. Letting you marry into this family before was already a mercy. Now, it's time for a divorce."

Zhou Wen's pupils contracted, and her heart clenched. She stood up in disbelief, walked over to Lu Jingshen, and reached out to push him, her tone panicked. "Lu Jingshen, are you really going to divorce me?!"

Seeing the man remain silent, she became even more agitated, pushing him harder. "Say something! Are you really divorcing me?!"

Lu Jingshen gritted his back teeth, his knuckles clenched tight, letting her shove him without saying a word.

Watching this scene, Shen Fuyuan silently cursed holy shit in her heart, not daring to make a sound, quietly enjoying the drama.

Seeing the man's persistent silence, Zhou Wen's eyes suddenly widened.

She had guessed that Lu Jingshen didn't have much affection for her anymore.

But she never expected that things would lead straight to divorce.

More than sadness, a wave of nameless fury rushed to her head. She screamed angrily, "Lu Jingshen! Say something! Are you really going to divorce me? I've been with you for so long, and you're actually divorcing me!? Are you even human!"

Seeing her so emotional, Mother Shen calmly took a sip of tea and interrupted, "Considering you've been married for so long, after the divorce, I will have Lu Jingshen give you a generous post-marital property settlement. Let's part on good terms and stop arguing here."

Part on good terms??

Zhou Wen's face was as ugly as it could get. She clenched her fists, her gaze piercing the man on the sofa like an ice pick.

"Fine, so now that you're in the chairman's seat, you're going to kick me to the curb and marry a rich heiress, right? Okay, Lu Jingshen, go ahead and marry An Ling. She happens to like you, so this is exactly what you wanted, isn't it!"

The more Zhou Wen spoke, the angrier she got. She ground her teeth and let out a cold laugh. "I knew it! When An Ling asked you out to the bar back then, you didn't refuse. Tell the truth, you just wanted to sleep with An Ling!"

"Zhou Wen! What nonsense are you spouting!" Lu Jingshen shouted furiously.

"Nonsense?!" Zhou Wen's eyes were icy, gripping her trembling fists in anger. "Do you really think I don't know that you guys deliberately spread those rumors?"

She had swallowed her pride in the Shen family for so long just to securely be Mrs. Shen.

Did they think she didn't know about the things An Ling told her before? She was just pretending not to know!

Exposing it would do her no good at all.

The only thing she needed to do was act like a gentle, kind, innocent flower, grasp Lu Jingshen's heart, and make him utterly devoted to her.

But now...

Zhou Wen twitched the corners of her mouth.

Sure enough, this kind of mama's boy was unreliable.

The resentment in her eyes grew deeper, and the anger that had been suppressed in her heart for so long exploded. "If I had known it would be like this, I would have gotten together with Shen Linyan back then."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingshen instantly blew up. His face darkened as he stood up and grabbed her by the neck. "You really do like Shen Linyan, you bitch."

"Cough, cough, cough!! Let go!"

Zhou Wen coughed with difficulty, grabbing his wrist, and pulled out a mocking smile. "What else? In what way can you compare to Shen Linyan? He has a good personality and is more capable than you. Right now, I just regret not choosing him instead of you."

As she spoke, Zhou Wen seemed to remember something. Her movements paused slightly, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.

Wait... it's not too late now.

An Ling and Shen Linyan didn't have a good relationship. If she got divorced now...

She had already looked it up. Although the new company Shen Linyan founded was still small, she knew his capabilities.

Even if it couldn't compare to the Shen Group right now, there was no telling what would happen in the future, and even Lu Jingshen was wary of Shen Linyan now.

As Zhou Wen thought about this, she completely failed to notice Lu Jingshen's almost murderous gaze.

He forcefully shoved the woman onto the sofa, his eyes fierce and a cold sneer on his lips. "It seems you're thinking of going to Shen Linyan after divorcing me. Zhou Wen, take a look at yourself. Do you think Shen Linyan would like a vain woman like you!?"

Zhou Wen fell onto the sofa, coughing a few times while clutching her neck. She looked up at him and laughed hoarsely, her momentum not yielding in the slightest: "Heh, what does that have to do with you? Maybe I will succeed. Lu Jingshen, do you think any other rich heiress would like you with your temper? Even An Ling despises you."

Shen Fuyuan, on the sidelines: "..."

Wow... so explosive. Coming here for a meal today was definitely the right choice.

So, should she tell her sister-in-law about this?
