"Knock knock knock".

Jiang Yilai knocked on the study door with trepidation.

A few seconds later, a deep, hoarse voice, tinged with utter indifference, came from inside the door: "Come in."

For some reason, upon hearing this voice, Jiang Yilai's heart suddenly clenched, and she felt a sense of panic as if someone had grabbed her throat.

She composed herself and opened the door.

The scene that caught her eye instantly raised her spirits to the highest point!

The study was decorated solemnly and grandly, but at this moment it resembled an execution ground.

A man was being forced to kneel on the ground by two men who looked like bodyguards. He was in a sorry state, tears streaming down his face, and his expression was one of panic and fear.

It's Fu Junhao!

When he saw Jiang Yilai, he cried out as if he had found a savior, "Brother, Jiang Yilai and I really have nothing going on! You can ask him if you don't believe me, we broke up a long time ago!"

Fu Nanxiao sat in his wheelchair with a cold expression. He lifted his eyelids and said in an extremely indifferent tone, "Oh?"

Jiang Yilai was taken aback.

Is he able to speak now?

She was only surprised for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and walked over to explain in a low voice, "I broke up with him when I decided to marry you."

"Is that so?" Fu Nanxiao uttered two words casually, his expression and voice both indifferent.

His demeanor made it difficult to tell whether he believed it or not.

Fu Junhao trembled like a leaf: "Of course, brother, I've wanted to break up with Jiang Yilai for a long time! The person I love is her sister, Jiang Lezhen. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the Jiang family to ask. Everyone in their family knows!"

He was so scared that he told everyone everything.

Jiang Yilai pursed her lips, feeling both angry and disgusted. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, she would have liked to rush up and slap him twice.

But all she wanted right now was to end this unsettling situation as quickly as possible, so she didn't say anything.

A terrible silence fell over the study.

Fu Nanxiao lowered his eyes and played with the jade in his hand.

The jade stones collided, producing a crunching sound that sent chills down one's spine.

After a long pause, he finally spoke calmly: "You met on the balcony last month."

Jiang Yilai was taken aback at first, then felt a chill in her heart.

He used a declarative sentence, which clearly indicates that he has already confirmed this matter.

Fu Junhao realized what was happening, his pupils contracted, and all the color drained from his face.

Does Fu Nanxiao know what he said on the balcony?

His mind went blank, and he shouted almost without thinking, "She seduced me! Brother, Jiang Yilai doesn't want to marry a vegetable. She seduced me to get your inheritance for her! Brother, I was confused and let her trick me!"

Jiang Yilai's mind went blank.

She stared at Fu Junhao in disbelief, trembling with rage: "Fu Junhao! Have you no shame! You were the one who wanted to seize the Fu family business, and I refused you!"

"Nonsense! You just think my brother will never be able to stand up again, and you don't want to spend your life with a cripple..."

"Smack!"

Jiang Yilai used all her strength to slap Fu Junhao hard across the face.

She coldly rebuked him: "You are shameless!"

Fu Junhao's face was numb with pain. He wanted to say something, but when he met Fu Nanxiao's sinister face, he suddenly felt a chill, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

What did he say?

Old Madam Fu gave an order that the fact that Fu Nanxiao couldn't stand up must never be mentioned!

As expected, Fu Nanxiao's face was gloomy as if a storm was brewing, and his eyes flashed with a chilling coldness.

His thin lips were tightly pressed together, his knuckles were white, and he was almost crushing the jade in his hand. He exuded a chilling aura that swept through the entire study.

Fu Junhao didn't dare to breathe.

He couldn't hold on any longer and cried, begging for mercy: "Brother, I'm crazy and I was talking nonsense, I misspoke..."

"Shut up."

The two cold, indifferent words immediately choked Fu Junhao's sobs.

Fu Nanxiao raised his cold eyes slightly.

The bodyguard holding Fu Junhao suddenly released him and kicked him unexpectedly.

"Bang!"

"Click!"

The sound of bones shattering was clear and piercing.

The next second, Fu Junhao hugged his legs and rolled around on the floor screaming.

Fu Nanxiao frowned: "It's too noisy."

The bodyguard immediately grabbed Fu Junhao and dragged him out like a dead pig.

The crying gradually subsided.

Everything happened so suddenly that Jiang Yilai was stunned, and her face turned pale inch by inch.

Her blood seemed to freeze, and she felt terribly cold all over.

Her hands were trembling uncontrollably. Jiang Yilai held her cold hands, feeling her jaw chattering.

She was terrified.

Silence fell in the study once again. Fu Nanxiao's expression was uncertain, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Jiang Yilai felt as if a knife was about to fall on her head at any moment; this feeling was too agonizing.

She took a deep breath, her voice trembling and hoarse: "Fu Nanxiao, what Fu Junhao said is not true. Grandma Fu made me sign a prenuptial agreement before, and I never wanted the Fu family's money. He is slandering me."

"Snap!"

Fu Nanxiao threw away the jade in his hand, the sound of which was like a command before an execution.

He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yilai, his deep eyes now filled with a ferocity and disgust like that of a wild beast.

He finally spoke: "Get out."

...

Jiang Yilai returned to her bedroom, restless and uneasy.

She didn't know if Fu Nanxiao would believe her, and if not, what he would do to her.

She recalled the man who had been dragged away at the banquet a long time ago, and then she remembered Fu Junhao's groans after his leg bone broke. The more she thought about it, the faster her heart beat.

After an unknown amount of time, there was finally a knock on the door.

Jiang Yilai was filled with anxiety and immediately went to open the door.

It was Butler Liu who arrived.

He said, "Madam, the master wants you to take the household registration book downstairs."

Does the household registration book mean Fu Nanxiao wants a divorce?

Jiang Yilai pursed her lips and nodded: "Okay, I'll go down right away."

She took out her household registration booklet from the cabinet, and her mood gradually calmed down.

To be optimistic, at least her leg won't break.

In fact, ever since Fu Nanxiao woke up, Jiang Yilai had been mentally prepared; divorce was just a matter of sooner or later.

She went downstairs and immediately saw Fu Nanxiao sitting in a wheelchair.

Behind him stood a doctor with a terrified expression, and the lawyer who had arranged their marriage.

Having probably learned about his condition from the doctor, Fu Nanxiao's expression turned somewhat grim, and his gaze held a cold sharpness.

Jiang Yilai silently stepped forward.

The lawyer approached with two agreements: "Mr. Fu, Ms. Jiang, these are the divorce agreements. Please sign them."

Fu Nanxiao took the pen with a cold face and signed it without hesitation.

Jiang Yilai also signed it.

The lawyer took Jiang Yilai's household registration booklet: "Mr. Fu, I'll bring the divorce certificate over tomorrow."

The whole process took no more than two minutes, and just like in a dream, Jiang Yilai ended her short-lived marriage.

She hung her head, seemingly still in a daze.

"Who gave you permission to process their divorce!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a voice, aged and angry, came in.

Fu Nanxiao's brow twitched slightly, a hint of helplessness in his expression.

Sure enough, Old Mrs. Fu stormed in, leaning on her cane.

"You think you're all grown up now? You want a divorce without even discussing it with me? What, are you unhappy with the granddaughter-in-law I chose? Or are you unhappy with me?!"
