Xin Yu felt a lump in her throat. All the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. She couldn't swallow them or spit them out. It was as though there was a huge, hard rock on her head. It was too unbearable, but she couldn't shed any tears. She was silent for a long time before she choked out, "… I understand."
After hanging up, she slid weakly onto the floor and clutched her phone tightly. Her reddened eyes stared fixedly at a certain spot. After a long while, she stood up again and went to the walk-in closet to change her clothes. Then she tidied up a little. She originally wanted to call Qin Fangang, but after weighing the pros and cons, she sent him a text. She didn't lie to him about anything. She only told him that she had something important to attend to and that she needed to make a trip back to the Lu residence, so he didn't have to worry about her.
Then she turned off her phone. Before she left the apartment, she suddenly thought of something. She turned back and took out a document from the drawer of the bedside table.
Xin Yu stood by the bed and looked at the document in her hands. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
This was something that Qin Fangang had given her. It was the best evidence that she could use to divorce Lu Yihan. She had refused to use it all this time because of Lu Shiyun, but she couldn't keep running away from it.
Today, Lu Shiyun's phone call made her even more certain that since she had already embarked on this path, how could there be a way to get the best of both worlds?
She had chosen Qin Fangang, so she already knew that one day, she would have to face all of this.
There were actually many ways to get a divorce. Even if she had a falling out and directly appealed, she could still achieve her goal of getting a divorce. However, after so many setbacks, the person she was most afraid of and felt the most guilty about was still Lu Shiyun.
Because of Lu Shiyun, she had never dared to be too forceful. After the video was exposed, she felt as though she had been pushed to the brink of death. When Li Muhua hit her, she was in pain and angry, but deep in her heart, she felt numb and happy.
A person who did something wrong should be punished like this. After being punished, she should bear all the consequences and then be able to walk away in a carefree manner.
But in the end, it still deviated from her original plan.
…
Xin Yu subconsciously clenched the documents in her hands, and a trace of determination flashed through her clear eyes. She didn't go back to compromise. This marriage had come to such a situation, and there was no need for compromise. Divorce was the only way.
Therefore, she thought that if there was really a need, she should be selfish for once and take out the information …
Without any hesitation, Xin Yu stuffed the documents into her bag, turned around, and left the apartment.
…
Qin Fangang finished the last meeting. After everyone left the meeting room, he reached out and tugged at his bow tie. His long fingers with distinct joints gently pressed between his eyebrows. He habitually picked up his phone and glanced at it, only to realize that his phone had run out of battery.
He glanced at the time on his watch. It was already past seven o 'clock. Before he left today, he had said that he would be back after work at five o' clock to have dinner with her. However, because he had to rush to England the next day, he had to finish all the meetings and documents that had piled up. He didn't expect it to be so late.
Qin Fangang pushed his office chair away and stood up. He happened to see Ji Yang coming in from outside.
"Boss Qin."
"Yes, it's already very late. Ji Yang, you can go back. I won't be coming to the office tomorrow. If there's anything, give me a call."
Ji Yang nodded. "Boss Qin, I've already asked someone to prepare the limited edition doll you asked me to buy in Japan. It's being sent directly to England. I'll explain to Miss Situ that it's a gift from you."
Qin Fangang didn't seem to mind. He nodded expressionlessly. He casually took out a cigarette from his suit pocket and put it in the corner of his mouth. Just as he lit it, he heard Ji Yang say, "Boss Qin, I just received a reply from the person you asked me to contact. He expressed interest in cooperating. I just wanted to ask Boss Qin, when will this plan be carried out?"
Qin Fangang narrowed his eyes slightly from the smoke. He looked up with a deep gaze and said in a deep voice, "There's a response? Then wait for me to come back from England. I want to meet him first. "
He paused. He raised his hand with the cigarette and shook it. "Don't do anything about this for the time being. Don't let anyone come to D City either. Tell him that I'm about to take action and I'll contact him as soon as possible."
Ji Yang was stunned for a moment. He instinctively asked, "Boss Qin, is it because of Miss Leng?"
Qin Fangang's relationship with Ji Yang was not just that of a superior and subordinate. In private, the two of them were more like close friends who knew each other very well. Hence, he didn't guard against Ji Yang at all. Now that Ji Yang asked this question, he didn't intend to hide it from him. He took a puff of smoke and nodded. "The current situation is rather chaotic. I'm not sure what Lu Shiyun's real motive is when he allowed Xin Yu to enter the Lu family five years ago. But no matter what, I think it's definitely not that simple. Investigate the situation in B City first."
He flicked the ash from his cigarette. "Put the previous plan on hold for now. I want to wait until Xin Yu is completely separated from the Lu family before carrying out the next step of the plan."
"But now, it seems like a lot of things have happened, but I keep feeling like we're at a standstill. The Lu family refuses to divorce, and Miss Leng won't appeal. She didn't use the things you gave her previously. If she wants to get a divorce, how long will she have to wait?"
"She'll take that step."
Xin Yu didn't understand what Qin Fangang meant when he suddenly asked, "What's the situation with Lan Ruoran over the past few days?"
"Lu Yihan seems to have looked for Lan Ruoran. She hasn't left the apartment for the past few days. Apart from Lu Yihan, she hasn't seen anyone else."
Ji Yang was silent for a moment before he said, "Boss Qin, Tang Miao told me before that the night before Miss Leng left England, Lan Ruoran asked her to drug Miss Leng. After that, she … So I think that Miss Leng must have been behind the video."
"She did it?"
Qin Fangang reached out to straighten his collar. His thin lips slowly curved into a cold arc as he said in a mocking tone, "Lan Ruoran, that woman, thinks she's smart, but she's not smart enough. If she had gotten her hands on the video, she wouldn't have had the time to deal with my voice. She would have been eager to expose it and wait to see what happens to others."
"…"
Ji Yang frowned and lowered his eyes.
Lan Ruoran had his own selfish motives. He once thought that if Lan Ruoran hadn't used money to oppress others, the Tang Miao wouldn't have helped her in the first place. Anyone with a conscience would feel bad for forcing a kind-hearted girl to betray her friendship. The Tang Miao had always been condemned by her conscience. If he hadn't found her and said those words to her, she might still be suffering like this.
Ji Yang gnashed his teeth in anger when he heard about the video. However, Qin Fangang said that he would observe for a while, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and didn't do anything to her for the time being.
However, he still asked the Tang Miao to change her phone number and address in private. He had also asked someone to change her hospital. However, he couldn't be bothered with her greedy uncle.
…
When Xin Yu walked into the Lu family's house, she realized that everyone in the Lu family was present in the living room.
Lu Shiyun was sitting at the head of the table. Lu Yihan was sitting with his legs crossed. He had always been arrogant and unruly. At home, he was even more carefree. He didn't seem to be sitting down. He was playing with his phone with one hand and tapping the edge of the sofa with the other.
Li Muhua and Lu Yiting were also present. Li Muhua didn't look too good. She was the first to see Xin Yu walk in. Her gaze was cold and filled with disdain and disgust. She quickly looked away from Xin Yu's face and said sarcastically, "… Our Young Madam finally knows to come back. Speaking of which, Lu Shiyun, you're the most courageous. If you didn't ask her to come back, who knows where she would be now? At that b * stard's house? Did she just come out from under his bed? "
"…"
Xin Yu instinctively tightened her grip on her bag. She bit her lip and didn't refute her.
Li Muhua's words were never pleasant to the ears. She only needed to listen to them in one ear and out the other.
Lu Yiting glared at her fiercely. In addition to disgust, there was also a tinge of jealousy in her eyes. Xin Yu wondered if she had seen wrongly.
Of course, she didn't have time to figure out if she had really seen wrongly. Lu Yihan had already stood up. His handsome brows were slightly furrowed as he looked down at Li Muhua. After a while, he raised his arm and threw the phone in his hand onto the sofa. When the phone hit the elastic sofa, it bounced back and landed on the floor with a loud thud.
"Mom, don't be so careless with your words. That's my wife. Without my permission, who dares to insult her like this?"
Li Muhua's expression turned ugly after being rebuked by her son in front of everyone. She stood up and looked furious. "Then I'm still your mother. I gave birth to you and raised you. How can you be so useless as to protect a woman like this? Are you deliberately going against me and trying to anger me to death?"
Lu Yihan's head hurt. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't like Li Muhua. Every time she saw Xin Yu, she had such a sharp expression. This made him feel that his mother was actually a woman without any recuperation. However, she was clearly a lady from a prestigious family. In the past, before he put his heart and soul on Xin Yu, he also didn't like her very much. It was just that he was too lazy to say it in the past.
"Mom, whether I can anger you to death or not depends on your attitude. I know you've never liked Xin Yu, but didn't I tell you? I like her very much now, so don't always target her. "
