5-year-old Chi Nai returned to ten years ago. At that time, her CEO father Baiyi Chi had just taken over the Chi Group, and her actress mother Yuan Yao Qin was still a third-tier actress with a bad...
Hehe, is Daddy becoming more and more concerned about and fond of Mommy?
She remembered that when the last season of the family ended, her father didn't even ask her mother how she was going to get home.
"Sister Mu is here to pick me up; she's already on her way," Qin Yuanyao replied.
Chi Baiyi nodded, her face showing no emotion, but a faint sense of loss welled up inside her.
Feng Wenhe and his family also went upstairs to pack their luggage.
However, neither Feng Wenhe nor Shi Hefen tidied up; they left Wu Ningwei to do it alone.
Wu Ningwei was packing her luggage in the room, while Shi Hefen was whispering to Feng Wenhe in the living room.
She recounted Wu Ningwei's unusual behavior that day, emphasizing her dissatisfaction with Wu Ningwei.
Finally, Shi Hefen said, "You need to really keep an eye on your wife. She treated you, me, and Ah Xuan like that in front of the live broadcast cameras, which shows she's increasingly disregarding us."
"I don't care if she doesn't respect me. But I'm really angry that she doesn't respect you and Ah Xuan. If it weren't for you, would she be living the life she has now? It's one thing for her not to be grateful to you, but she even said in front of the live stream that you were doing this on a variety show."
"What does she mean?! You've worked so hard to make her and Ah Xuan's lives better, but she's not grateful at all and even wants to ride roughshod over you!"
"When she comes out, give her a good talking-to. Don't let her think that just because she's been a rich lady at home for a long time, she really can do whatever she wants and not take us seriously!"
Feng Wenhe listened to Shi Hefen's words with his eyes down, sharing the same thoughts as Shi Hefen.
He said solemnly, "Mom, don't worry, I will talk to her properly."
Only then did Shi Hefen take a satisfied sip of tea.
Back when she was a daughter-in-law, she was so submissive that she didn't even dare to raise her head or speak in front of her mother-in-law.
Although she knew that times had changed and women were much happier now, she still believed that the daughters-in-law of the Feng family should be submissive when necessary and not rebel!
Shi Hefen put down her teacup and glanced around, spotting Wu Ningwei standing at the door of the room like a ghost.
Wu Ningwei was looking at them, with a box being pushed by her.
"How did you manage to come out so quietly!" Shi Hefen frowned in displeasure.
She wasn't afraid that Wu Ningwei had overheard her and Feng Wenhe's conversation; she just didn't want Wu Ningwei to scare her into something bad.
"Have you packed your luggage?" Feng Wenhe asked sternly, adopting the air of a matriarch.
"I'm done packing," Wu Ningwei said.
“It’s good that you’re out. I have something to tell you. You can continue packing after you’re done,” Feng Wenhe said.
“I also have something to tell you,” Wu Ningwei pushed her suitcase forward. “I’ll finish what I’m saying first, then you can say what you’re saying.”
"How dare you!" Schöfen said sternly, "When did it become your turn to speak first?"
"Grandma Shi, you're still living in the Qing Dynasty, with so many outdated customs." Wu Ningwei sneered, "I'll finish speaking first, then you'll know whether there's any point in you saying anything more."
Feng Wenhe and Shi Hefen were stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Wu Ningwei meant.
At that very moment, Wu Ningwei looked at Feng Wenhe and spoke again.
"Feng Wenhe, we're getting a divorce. I've already hired a lawyer to draft the divorce papers. Once they're ready, I'll send them to you. Over the years, I've received absolutely no respect in your home, so I won't take away a single penny of the property I'm entitled to. Pack your own bags. Lunch is the last thing I'll do for you."
Wu Ningwei was about to leave after she finished speaking.
Feng Wenhe and Shi Hefen were both stunned. They had never imagined that Wu Ningwei would want a divorce, so they were momentarily speechless.
Feng Xuan was the first to react. He blocked Wu Ningwei's path and questioned her, "What's wrong with you now! Hurry up and pack your bags. I don't want to stay in this lousy place for another minute!"
Wu Ningwei looked calmly at the son she had carried for ten months and given birth to.
“You can have custody of your son. Since you both want to carry on the family line so much, I’ll grant your wish,” Wu Ningwei said to Feng Wenhe. “However, if you continue to spoil Ah Xuan like this, he will become increasingly unruly in the future.”
"What's wrong with you!" Feng Wenhe finally came to his senses, frowning deeply. "Even when you're throwing a tantrum, you can't keep talking about divorce!"
"Don't even think about threatening us with divorce!" Shi Hefen followed up, "Do you think Wenhe and Axuan can't function without you? Let me tell you, Wenhe can still find young and beautiful girls even without you, but for you, finding someone with Wenhe's qualities will be very difficult!"
"Then hurry up and find Feng Wenhe a new wife so I can get a divorce smoothly. I will sincerely wish him well." Wu Ningwei smiled faintly, picked up her suitcase and went downstairs.
Feng Wenhe and Shi Hefen then realized that Wu Ningwei might be serious.
Wu Ningwei had never done this before, so they subconsciously felt that she was using a strategic retreat to gain a greater position in the family.
"She really wants a divorce?" Shi Hefen found it unbelievable. "She doesn't even want to care about Ah Xuan anymore?"
Feng Wenhe looked serious as he went downstairs and caught up with Wu Ningwei.
"Wu Ningwei! Wu Ningwei!" Feng Wenhe caught up with Wu Ningwei in three quick steps.
"What exactly do you want? You don't really want a divorce, do you?"
Forced to stop by him, Wu Ningwei looked him straight in the eye and said, "I just want a divorce."
"You're having an affair? You have another man you like?" This was the only reason Feng Wenhe could think of.
Although he knew that Wu Ningwei's social circle was very narrow and that he knew almost all of her friends, he still considered this possibility.
"No, I didn't have an affair. I've just had enough and want a divorce."
"Have you had enough? What have you had enough of? Haven't I treated you well? In terms of food, clothing, and other necessities, how have I ever mistreated you?" Feng Wenhe said incredulously.
Wu Ningwei looked at him with a mocking smile.
"Or do you think my mom treats you badly? That's just how my mom is, you'll get used to it. Besides, all mothers-in-law are pretty much the same, everyone can get along with them, why can't you?" Feng Wenhe added.
“Feng Wenhe,” Wu Ningwei chuckled, “the reason you’re acting this way isn’t because you love me that much, but because you find it hard to accept that I’m the one who filed for divorce.”
Feng Wenhe was taken aback; Wu Ningwei had hit the nail on the head regarding a certain thought that had been hidden deep in her heart.
“But I like you. If I didn’t like you, why would I marry you? I got married in my forties. I’ve been single for so many years because I wanted to wait for someone I truly love,” Feng Wenhe said.
“I know you like me,” Wu Ningwei said, “but you like yourself more.”
Feng Wenhe's eyes flickered.
“I love myself more now. So, we can’t go on like this. A divorce would be better for everyone. I’m entrusting Feng Xuan to your care.”
