Out of politeness, Xinwan still smiled gracefully and called out obediently, "Daddy, Mommy."
"It's really Xinwan!"
Wen Han-woo's mother stepped forward and sized Xinwan up from head to toe. She smiled sheepishly and said, "Ah, you're back so suddenly. Xinwan, are you doing well overseas? You're getting prettier. "
"Thank you, Mother. You're getting younger too."
Mrs. Wen smiled sheepishly and said, "Is that so? I can't be compared to you youngsters. "
Wen Hanyu's mother was the first person to object to Yi Xin marrying into the Wen Family late. Although the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not the biggest problem between them all these years, there was still some estrangement. As time passed, it did not decrease but increased.
"It's good that you're back. You and Hanwoo are not young anymore. It's not a good idea for you to be living separately. I've mentioned this to your father before," Wen Haoxuan said slowly.
Wen Haoxuan spoke slowly. After all, he was the male head of the Wen Family, and his tone was very stable. Wen Hanyu had inherited many of Wen Haoxuan's tricks and boldness. "Everyone, don't stand outside. Let's go in and eat. The servants have already laid out the dishes."
Everyone agreed. Tong Qing Meng held Xinwan's hand. She was the happiest person to see Xinwan return. She leaned forward and was about to say something to her daughter when Wen Han-woo, who had been silent all this while, spoke in a deep voice.
"Before we eat, I think she has something important to announce."
The man strode towards Xinwan and stood beside her. He turned his body slightly. His exquisite features were obscured by the night sky. His thin lips curled into a cold smile. "Don't tell me you're planning to eat first before talking?"
Wen Han-woo's words were harsh, and Xinwan could tell.
Shen Lingxiu was the first to step forward. Looking at Xinwan, she asked curiously, "Is something the matter? What's so important? "
Naturally, everyone else stopped as well.
Xinwan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but some things had to be said sooner or later anyway. Since Wen Han-woo had spoken, she might as well take the opportunity to say it now.
After calming herself down, Xinwan said slowly, "Yes, I do have something to tell everyone. Actually, I came back this time because I want to discuss a divorce with Hanwoo. I've already handed the details to my lawyer. I don't think I need anything from your Family Wen, so this marriage has been in name only for six years. Now, I want to end it. After the divorce, I'll go back to America."
"Yo, someone who's overseas all year round is really different. Now that you're back, you're so ostentatious. Xinwan, you're really amazing!"
Han Eemo snorted sarcastically before Xinwan could finish. It was probably true. Since ancient times, mothers-in-law had always been picky about their daughters-in-law. Han Eemo didn't like Xinwan no matter how she looked at her. Earlier, she was still concerned about the reputation of both families, but now that Xinwan mentioned divorce, she couldn't hold it in anymore.
Xinwan knew that her divorce was a little sudden, but she didn't have time to delay this issue. No matter how unpleasant Han Eemo's words were, she had to accept it. After all, she was an elder. She didn't want to complicate things, so she chose to ignore it.
The person in charge of Family Wen was still Shen Lingxiu, so what Xinwan was concerned about now was her attitude.
She nodded slightly at Shen Lingxiu and said in a serious tone, "Grandma, I'm very sorry for bringing up the divorce so suddenly. However, this isn't on a whim. Six years ago, Young Master Wen and I didn't get married willingly. In these six years, we haven't spent any time together. As you said earlier, we're not young anymore. If we continue to waste each other's time like this, it doesn't seem good for either of us, so I think …"
Xinwan looked at the man who had been standing at the side with a solemn expression. She raised a brow and said, "Young Master Wen should be very willing to divorce me, right? Young Master Wen? "
Wen Han-woo's gaze darkened. His hands subconsciously tightened in the pockets of his trousers. The man's sexy thin lips pursed, but he didn't reply.
He didn't know why, but he felt that the woman in front of him, who had been his wife for six years, had a faint smile on her face. No matter how he looked at it, it was an eyesore. It gave him an impulse to go forward and tear it apart.
"Miss Tong, you're very casual. You've been abroad for six years, and now you're back to get a divorce just like that. I'd like to ask Mr. Jiang if you're aware of this. Do you agree?"
Han Eemo frowned, her expression sharp. She looked at Jiang Youyi who was standing at the side, then her gaze fell on Tong Qing Meng's face. Her lips curled into a cold sneer. "I didn't agree to this marriage back then. It's a business marriage. Our Family Wen can choose from many families. There are plenty of young ladies from prestigious families and real rich families. Why should we pave the way for others and marry a fake rich young lady? Now that she's grown up, she wants to fly away. "
Han Eemo's words were harsh, and Tong Qing Meng's expression was very forced. She was holding her daughter's arm, and now because of Han Eemo's mocking words, she subconsciously tightened her grip on Xinwan's arm.
There wasn't a single person present who didn't know that she, Tong Qingmeng, was a mistress. As for her daughter, Tong Xinwan, she was the so-called "fake princess" because of her identity.
Six years ago, Jiang Youyi's first wife passed away due to illness. Jiang Youyi intended to let Tong Qing Meng enter the Family Jiang and let Xinwan acknowledge her ancestors. However, at that time, the elders in the Family Jiang disagreed because Tong Qing Meng was born in an ordinary family and was a mistress. Even if she gave birth to a child, it would only be a daughter. She had no right to enter the Family Jiang openly. However, Jiang Youyi was very insistent. He and Tong Qing Meng met after marriage. Tong Qing Meng was an elegant and gentle woman, and Jiang Youyi had always liked her. At that time, because the elders in the Family Jiang disagreed, Tong Qing Meng did not take this matter to heart. However, when her mother, Xinwan's grandmother, suddenly fell ill and needed a lot of money, Jiang Youyi said that as long as Xinwan married Wen Han-woo, Tong Qing Meng could marry into the Family Jiang, and he would unconditionally treat his mother-in-law's illness.
Xinwan was not stupid. It was impossible for her not to know what her father was planning. Jiang Youyi's first wife left behind a daughter, Jiang Qiya, who was Xinwan's half-sister. When she was young, Jiang Youyi had a high fever and had problems with her IQ. In this lifetime, Jiang Youyi did not have a son to inherit the Family Jiang business, so he could only work on Xinwan.
In the entire B City, whether it was six years ago or six years later, everyone knew that the Family Wen, Wen Han-woo, was a man of striking appearance. The Family Wen's status was not to be underestimated. Wen Han-woo was also very capable and had risen to the top at a young age.
Han Eemo's words were not wrong. If Wen Han-woo wanted women, all he had to do was curl his little finger, and countless socialites and ladies would flock to him.
At that time, Xinwan chose to marry Wen Han-woo for her grandmother. But why did Wen Han-woo marry her back then?
— — It was just a piece of land in the southern part of the city that Family Jiang owned, as well as all the major projects that the Family Wen and Family Jiang had collaborated on over the years.
This marriage was built for "benefits." Xinwan had always thought that she could live abroad for the rest of her life, as if nothing had happened. And no matter how many women Wen Han-woo had in B City, it had nothing to do with her. They had just pretended to be peaceful.
At least, that was what she had thought in the beginning.
But now, the situation had changed. She could no longer maintain this nominal relationship with him. She had to get a divorce.
"I made this decision on my own. It has nothing to do with my parents. They didn't know that I was coming back today, and they definitely didn't know that I was going to divorce Wen Han-woo."
Xinwan straightened her back. She was neither servile nor overbearing. Her feminine voice was soft, but every word she said was filled with determination. "I know you will think that I don't respect Family Wen. But I think that this marriage is between me and Wen Han-woo. I think that he will definitely agree to divorce me, so I …"
"I told you that I agreed to it?"
Wen Han-woo's voice was low. His simple sentence was filled with mockery.
He was a shrewd man. How could he not know that this woman, Tong Xinwan, was quite smart? In front of the two families, she was intentionally or unintentionally trying to push the ball into his lap. That way, she could easily achieve her goal.
Wen Han-woo's eyes darkened. No matter what this woman's goal was, whether it was a divorce or some other scheme, he would never allow himself to become a springboard for her to achieve her goal.
If she really wanted a divorce, he would agree to it. But whether it was Family Wen's elders or Family Jiang's elders, he had no interest in dealing with them. Since this was what she wanted to do, she should clean up her own mess.
Anyway, to him, this "wife" was no different from not having one.
Xinwan had no idea that Wen Han-woo would reject her so bluntly.
She had indeed pinned her hopes on Wen Han-woo. After all, they had been married for six years and did not have any feelings for each other. It was understandable that they wanted a divorce. With such a distinguished status, she believed that many women would flock to him. Moreover, he had not been idle for the past six years. He often appeared in the headlines of the Peach Blossom Scandal. She heard that he had a regular lover. He protected her well and rarely appeared in the news. However, she was sure that such a woman did exist.
Now that she had generously given up her identity as "Mrs. Wen," he actually rejected her?
Han Eemo was also surprised. However, she had always been proud of her son. She knew that he was dissatisfied with this wife of his. Now that he rejected her, it was naturally because of the company's cooperation project. She did not take it to heart. However, it was inevitable that she would take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
