"Cheng Dongge, I'm really not worth it for you to do this for me. I'm already very sorry for dragging you into this. In fact, if you hadn't said anything, all the focus would have been on me. I'm the one Jian Yi wants to ruin. This is my war, so it's only right that I bear the consequences. Why do you have to put the blame on yourself? I know you want to help me, but I don't want you to hurt yourself in order to help me. I'm a woman who wants a divorce. I've only been married for a few months, and I'm already asking for a divorce. My husband is having an affair. My reputation is already ruined. I don't care even if it hurts me more. Why do you have to get involved in this mess? "
Cheng Dongge was still expressionless. It was impossible to see anything from his face, but the color of his eyes deepened as he stared deeply at her. He saw that she couldn't hold back her tears and slowly raised his clean and slender hand. However, just as he raised it to the height of her shoulder, he pulled it back.
Qi Chengyue's stomach constricted, and she felt a cramping pain.
"How long have you been waiting here?" Cheng Dongge asked. His voice was deep and steady.
Qi Chengyue only shook her head. She was still thinking about how he clearly raised his hand but didn't touch her. Was he also planning to keep his distance from her, thinking that it wasn't good to be too close to a married woman who was about to get a divorce?
She was afraid that even if he didn't say anything, even if he had always treated her well, deep down, he still disliked her for being married.
"Have you eaten?" His voice continued to ring from above her head.
"Yes." Qi Chengyue could only give a simple answer.
"I'll take you home," Cheng Dongge said.
Qi Chengyue sniffled and said, "I drove here myself. I came to tell you not to do anything stupid next time."
She clenched her fists tightly. Her thumb pressed against the back of her index finger and squeezed it into her palm. "You must have a lot of nasty things to say about you. They'll say that you destroyed our relationship, that you're purposely trying to please me in order to get ahead. All the hard work you've put in all these years will go to waste because of what you said today. "
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked a few steps back. She opened the car door and was about to close it when Cheng Dongge blocked the door.
Qi Chengyue raised her head in surprise and saw that his fair hand was holding onto the car door. His four slender fingers were facing her, and his nails were still short and clean.
"What I said today was indeed to help you, but I was serious about it. You always say that I'm a good person, but in fact, I'm not. I don't help just anyone with all my heart. I may support someone I don't care about, but I won't take all the responsibility on myself. I only want to take responsibility for what I care about, "Cheng Dongge said in a low voice.
Qi Chengyue looked up at him in surprise. She was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
She sat in the car, and it was very dark. Cheng Dongge stood up straight, looking down at her. Everything above his nose was blocked by the roof of the car, and she could only see his lips as he spoke. It was surprisingly beautiful.
"Because of those photos, Jian Yi has wronged you. So, for your own good, before you get a divorce, I can't do anything that Jian Yi can use against you." His voice was deep and calm, which made her feel at ease.
Even though she couldn't see his eyes, she knew that he was looking at her deeply at that moment.
Then, he closed the car door for her, turned around and walked back.
To her surprise, he didn't go home. Instead, he went back to his car. His black Touareg started up, and then the car lights came on, but it didn't move.
Qi Chengyue knew that he wanted to send her home.
She felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and started the car. Sure enough, after she drove out, the Touareg moved slowly, turned around, and followed behind her.
When she returned to Yu Shu Garden, she looked through the rearview mirror and saw that Cheng Dongge had parked his car in front of the villa. Qi Chengyue parked the car in the garage, but she didn't enter the house from the garage. Instead, she came out from the garage.
Seeing that Cheng Dongge's car was still there, Qi Chengyue's car lights came on. She glanced at it, and then pressed the doorbell.
"Where have you been?" Guan Liya asked Qi Chengyue as soon as she entered the house.
"Nothing. I just went to see a friend," Qi Chengyue said. Guan Liya looked at her suspiciously, but Qi Chengyue had already walked to the window. She lifted the curtains a little and looked out. The Touareg was already gone.
Qi Chengyue then went back to her bedroom. Guan Liya looked out curiously, but she didn't see anything.
…
…
However, Qi Chengyue didn't expect that the next day, most of the comments and the voices of the public would be on her side. Especially after what Cheng Dongge said yesterday, she received the sympathy and support of almost all the women. They felt that regardless of whether or not there was a relationship between her and Cheng Dongge, they would understand and support her just because she was with a scumbag like Jian Yi, even if there was something going on between her and Cheng Dongge.
What Cheng Dongge said yesterday moved the women even more. They felt that he was affectionate and was a good man.
She didn't know where the news came from, but it was said that Cheng Dongge had a girlfriend of three years. Not long after she agreed to marry him, she betrayed him and went with the heir of a wealthy family. She did it for money and status.
As a result, Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue suddenly became two people who fell in love with each other. In the process of helping and supporting each other, they developed a good impression of each other. There was nothing to criticize about it.
Moreover, Jian Yi had wronged her first. Qi Chengyue wanted a divorce a long time ago, right?
As a result, the people who originally suspected that Qi Chengyue was unfaithful to Jian Yi and said that Qi Chengyue was a rich young lady changed their views and began to support her online.
Of course, there were many voices of opposition and conspiracy theorists. They thought that they were smart and rational and could see the situation more clearly than anyone else. They said that things weren't as simple as they seemed and that both sides were putting on an act. They told the netizens not to take it seriously.
There were also people who said that Cheng Dongge was actually interested in Qi Chengyue's money and wanted to use it to get promoted. This was what Qi Chengyue was worried about.
However, these were the minority. The situation was much better than what Qi Chengyue had worried about.
Almost all the comments and attacks were directed at Guan Xiaolin and Jian Yi. Among them, Guan Xiaolin was scolded the most.
She didn't know who released the recording of what Guan Xiaolin said when she went to find Qi Chengyue. However, Qi Chengyue didn't doubt that it was Qi Chengzhi who ordered someone to do it.
Yesterday, Cheng Dongge was able to point out Guan Xiaolin in front of so many reporters. He must have gotten Qi Chengzhi's permission.
"Shameless vixen!"
"She's so high-profile as a mistress. She's really drunk."
"That Jian Yi must be a moron to be interested in a woman like Guan Xiaolin."
One comment after another could be said to be cursing the two of them to the point where they were black and blue.
"That Jian Yi went for the Qi family's money from the beginning. How can he have true love?"
"There's actually a woman who dares to want such a man. She even ran to be a mistress for him. Is there something wrong with her?"
Qi Chengyue closed the webpage. She didn't want to care about this anymore.
…
…
On Thursday, everyone from the Qi family came to the court except for the old man and the old lady. They sat in the gallery.
Qi Chengyue sat next to the lawyer and looked at Jian Yi coldly.
She glanced at the gallery. Cheng Dongge wasn't there.
Of course, Jian Yi's lawyer also took out the photos as evidence of Qi Chengyue's alleged affair.
Jian Yi originally thought that even if he divorced Qi Chengyue, she wouldn't be able to get much out of it. However, Qi Chengyue's lawyer suddenly presented new evidence. It proved that before he separated from Qi Chengyue, he had already lived with Guan Xiaolin. After Qi Chengyue filed for divorce, they separated and moved into Guan Xiaolin's apartment.
Then, they also presented the DNA report of the fetus in Guan Xiaolin's womb. It proved that it was Jian Yi's child.
Jian Yi's expression became uglier and uglier. He didn't expect them to even get the DNA report. The lawyer next to him was also very unhappy. He glanced at Jian Yi and blamed him for not telling him about this.
In the end, the court ruled that Qi Chengyue and Jian Yi were divorced. Moreover, the two of them didn't actually have any joint property. Whether it was the house or the car that was given to Jian Yi, they had already written Qi Chengyue's name before the marriage. Moreover, all the assets under Qi Chengyue's name were already under her name before the marriage. According to the New Marriage Law, Jian Yi couldn't get any of these, let alone half of Qi Lin's shares.
In the end, other than the little money in his bank and the investments, Jian Yi didn't get anything else.
When he left the court, Jian Yi's expression was especially ugly. He glared at Qi Chengyue fiercely. When he turned his head, his eyes met Song Yu's.
Song Yu stood next to Qi Chengzhi. She looked at him with a face full of disappointment.
Looking at Jian Yi now, it seemed like the time when they were young and they were friends was just a dream.
She even wondered if he was the real him at that time.
Jian Yi coldly retracted his gaze and walked out of the court with Jian Shibo and Zhou Mingyan. Immediately, a large group of reporters surrounded them. The cameras were almost on their faces.
Jian Shibo felt really embarrassed. His son had done such an immoral thing. He ruined the happiness of the Qi family's daughter and even wanted to extort money from the Qi family. Zhou Mingyan had even shamelessly gone to the Qi family's company to cause trouble and ruin Qi Chengyue's reputation.
At home, he had no right to speak at all. He could only suppress his anger. He really felt that he couldn't continue living like this.
"Mr. Jian, the court ruled that you didn't get anything. What do you plan to do in the future?"
"Will you marry Miss Guan immediately?"
"Right now, society is strongly condemning you and Miss Guan. What do you want to say?"
"No one from the Guan family came today?"
"In court today, the Qi family's lawyer presented a copy of the DNA of the fetus in Miss Guan's womb as evidence. If Miss Guan didn't personally go to the hospital, it would be impossible to take the sample. Does this show the Guan family's attitude? Did the Guan family object to your relationship with Miss Guan? "
Jian Yi clenched his teeth. Guan Xiaolin said that the Guan family was worried that her appearance today would cause more scandals and rumors. So, no one from the Guan family came today.
He knew that the Guan family wouldn't give up so easily. However, Guan Xiaolin had his child in her womb. The longer it dragged on, the more the child couldn't be aborted. At that time, if the Guan family didn't want their daughter to give birth to an illegitimate child, they would have to agree to his marriage with Guan Xiaolin sooner or later.
"Madam Zhou, it was revealed on the Internet that you were also one of the reasons why Mr. Jian and Miss Qi's marriage failed. Do you have anything to say?"
"Madam Zhou, Mr. Cheng said that when Mr. Jian and Miss Qi's marriage was still valid, you went shopping with Miss Guan and spent Miss Qi's money. Since you are so dissatisfied with Miss Qi, why did you still spend her money?"
"Madam Zhou, that day when you announced Miss Qi's affair in Qi Lin, Dynasty and the Japanese restaurant both showed their surveillance video screenshots. They showed that Miss Qi and Mr. Cheng didn't do anything out of line. It doesn't match with what you said. The Qi family may sue because of this. What do you think about this?"
"What I think is none of your business! Go away! All of you go away! The camera is pointing at my face! Stop taking pictures! Stop taking pictures! "Zhou Mingyan shouted angrily. She used her hands to block the camera.
However, she only had two hands. She couldn't block the camera no matter how hard she tried.
"Madam Zhou, why did you wrongly accuse Miss Qi? Does Mr. Jian know about this? Or did Mr. Jian ask you to do this? "
Jian Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the reporter who asked the question. Among the group of reporters, there were two reporters who seemed to be speaking up for Qi Chengyue. They must have been sent by Qi Chengzhi.
"Madam Zhou, don't you have any regrets or guilt? If that's the case, aren't you more satisfied with Miss Guan as your daughter-in-law? I heard that no matter what Miss Qi does, she can't satisfy you. Can Miss Guan satisfy you? "
"Go away! So what if I don't like Qi Chengyue? The Qi family thinks that they are rich and powerful. However, if she marries into the Jian family and becomes my daughter-in-law, she has to listen to me! Whatever I say, she has to do! "Zhou Mingyan was forced into a corner. She blurted out without thinking.
At this moment, a reporter suddenly shouted, "The Qi family has come out!"
All of the reporters immediately left the Jian family and rushed in the direction of the Qi family.
Qi Chengzhi frowned. He immediately wrapped his arm around Song Yu's waist and protected her so that she wouldn't be hit by the reporters.
Jian Shibo had his head down the entire time. Especially when Zhou Mingyan was speaking, he really wanted to find a hole to hide in.
At this moment, his eyes also looked in the direction of the Qi family. He made up his mind and clenched his fists. Then, he walked towards the Qi family.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Mingyan was surprised. She chased after him.
Jian Shibo ignored her. He walked in front of Qi Zhongxun and Guan Liya and bowed deeply to their family.
"Mr. Qi, Mrs. Qi, Chengyue, I'm sorry. My son is a bastard. It's my wife's fault. I apologize on their behalf. Chengyue, I'm sorry. When you were in our house, you were bullied by your mother-in-law. I couldn't do anything for you, "Jian Shibo said with his head down.
The reporters who had surrounded the Qi family were in an uproar. Even Jian Yi's father had personally said so. How much did Qi Chengyue suffer at the hands of the Jian family?!
Qi Chengyue's eyes were a little sore. She said, "In the past, I was willful. I didn't treat you well. You've always been very good to me."
Jian Shibo's eyes turned red. Then, he was suddenly hit hard on the back. Then, he was pulled straight by his arm.
"Jian Shibo, what are you doing? What did I do to let her down? What right do you have to apologize to her on our behalf? I didn't do anything wrong. Who do you think you are? Did you see that the Qi family is rich, so you came over to bow and scrape for some benefits? Don't make me look like a beggar! " Zhou Mingyan screamed at the top of her voice. It was so loud that everyone's ears hurt. Especially since many reporters had taken microphones, Zhou Mingyan's voice was amplified even louder.
"Shut up! Don't you think that you haven't embarrassed yourself enough? Haven't you harmed others enough? A good girl has been forced to this state by you! This has nothing to do with money or not! You keep saying that others have money but we don't. It's your mentality that's wrong. You look down on yourself. You can't blame others! It was Jian Yi who let her down first. If you were a reasonable mother-in-law, you would have talked to your son and helped your daughter-in-law. Then, you wouldn't have gotten a divorce! It was Jian Yi who did wrong. Do you think you're in the right? Is there anyone like you who can't tell right from wrong? " Jian Shibo shouted angrily as well. It was as if he wanted to vent all the anger that he had suppressed in his heart all these years.
He looked at Zhou Mingyan and spat. He was so angry that he couldn't vent enough. He didn't understand how Zhou Mingyan could be so unreasonable. Why couldn't she talk to him?
"What are you doing? Jian Shibo, you're actually helping an outsider. You're even shouting at me here. You've got guts, haven't you? Jian Yi is your son. If you don't help him, who will you help? How can you live like this? I'm telling you, Jian Shibo, shut up. Otherwise, you won't be able to live like this! If you don't love her anymore, let's get a divorce. Don't be so arrogant here! "Zhou Mingyan said fiercely. She pointed at Jian Shibo's nose and kept pointing at him.
Jian Shibo had always been honest. He did whatever she said. Today, he actually said that in front of the Qi family and so many reporters. He really had the guts to say that!
In particular, what she couldn't tolerate the most was that he actually helped Qi Chengyue and even wanted to apologize to Qi Chengyue for her!
She didn't do anything wrong to Qi Chengyue. She didn't need him to apologize for her!
Jian Shibo's face turned red. He couldn't stand being scolded by her in public. As a man, he couldn't stand it. Thinking about how Zhou Mingyan didn't respect him more and more over the years, he didn't want to talk at home more and more. Gradually, she was the one who said it. It went in one ear and out the other. His life was so sullen every day. His marriage had long existed in name.
He knew that she thought he was easy to bully, so she casually mentioned the divorce. She also knew that he wouldn't really get a divorce and would definitely continue to tolerate her. That was why she was so unscrupulous.
Facing such an unreasonable wife, he didn't want to accompany her in committing sins.
Jian Shibo slapped Zhou Mingyan's hand away and said angrily, "Let's get a divorce! I've had enough of this kind of life. You can commit sins alone! If I continue living with you, I'm afraid I'll suffer retribution! "
Zhou Mingyan was stunned. She didn't expect Jian Shibo to be so unyielding this time.
However, she quickly understood that he was just being stubborn in front of so many people. He was just being stubborn.
Zhou Mingyan sneered and said with a face full of indifference, "Alright!"
Jian Shibo directly pushed Zhou Mingyan away and left without looking back.
Zhou Mingyan angrily snorted at the Qi family and went back to find Jian Yi.
Qi Chengzhi protected Song Yu as they walked down the steps at the entrance of the court. Chang Lai was standing next to the Benz. Qi Chengzhi nodded and Chang Lai took out a baseball bat from the trunk and walked towards Jian Yi's Cayenne.
Jian Yi and Zhou Mingyan were about to get in the car when Chang Lai swung the baseball bat and smashed the windshield of the car. The glass shattered and splashed all over the hood.
Then, Chang Lai went to the driver's side and smashed both the front and back windows.
"What are you doing!" Zhou Mingyan was already crazy. Just as she was about to get in the car, all the windows were smashed.
The reporters were also shocked. One by one, they pressed the shutter.
Qi Chenglin walked over slowly, attracting the attention of the reporters. When there was no one here, Qi Chengzhi immediately helped Song Yu into the car.
Qi Chenglin had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding his phone. He sneered, "This car has Chengyue's name on the registration. Now that Chengyue doesn't want it anymore, we're smashing our own car for fun. What can you do about it?"
Zhou Mingyan couldn't say a word. Her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't make a sound for a long time.
Qi Chenglin called the towing company right in front of them and asked them to come and tow the car away.
"You … You … You're bullying me!" Zhou Mingyan yelled hysterically.
Qi Chenglin put away his mocking smile and looked stern. His stern and intimidating expression made Zhou Mingyan involuntarily take half a step back.
He sneered, "You call this bullying? We smashed our own car. How is that bullying? Madam Zhou, there will be more bullying in the future. The Qi family will slowly settle the scores with you for how you bullied my sister in the past. "
He nodded at her mockingly, glanced at Jian Yi, and walked back.
Qi Chenglin held Qi Chengyue's back and escorted her to the car. The family went to the Qi family's old mansion together.
…
…
Old Master and Old Madam were still waiting at home, especially Old Madam. Even though she knew that with her family's power, there would be no surprises in today's verdict, as long as the result was not out, her heart would always be in suspense.
She stood in front of the window and watched. Although Old Master did not say anything, he did not go out to play chess today. There was a chessboard on the coffee table with chess pieces arranged, but not a single one was moved.
"They're back! They're back! "Old Madam saw the Range Rover parked at the door and the Mercedes-Benz parked behind it.
Old Master could no longer maintain his composure. He stood up and followed Old Madam to the porch to wait.
When Qi Chengzhi and the others came in, Old Madam immediately asked, "How did it go?"
"Everything went smoothly," Qi Chengzhi said.
Old Madam finally breathed a sigh of relief and took Qi Chengyue's hand. "It's finally settled. There won't be any more troublesome things in the future. I'll go see if there are any outstanding young men that I can introduce to you. This time, I'll definitely make sure that my granddaughter is not wronged!"
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, let's go to the study to discuss how to solve the problem with the Guan family," Qi Chengzhi turned around and said to them.
Qi Chengyue had finally divorced Jian Yi and completely got rid of him. Whether it was for the Qi family or for Qi Chengyue herself, it was a joyous occasion. That night, the old lady asked Aunt Liu to cook a table full of dishes to celebrate.
