Chapter 35 Her Red Rose
"You want to divorce that scumbag Xie?! Really?!" Su Xier stared in astonishment, pressing her hands firmly against her shoulders.
“It’s true, I’ve already moved out of Guanlan Garden and given him the divorce papers. But he’s dragging his feet and refusing to sign them.”
Jiang Shiyuan looked relieved, her almond-shaped eyes curving slightly. "But it doesn't matter anymore, it's just a matter of time. I'm definitely getting a divorce. This matter will probably be a bit of a shock to him. After all, he's lived for thirty years and probably no one has ever gone against him like this before. He needs time to adjust."
"Damn, how can he be so arrogant? He can just not get a divorce if he wants to? Who does he think he is?!"
Su Xier's rosy lips shot out like a machine gun at Xie Jinghuai, "Everyone says he's a business tycoon, but what the hell is he? I think he's just old and has a big face!"
Jiang Shiyuan smiled, pressing her finger to her lips.
With her bright eyes and white teeth, she was so beautiful that Su Xi'er was captivated. She gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
“Shiyuan, you’ve become so beautiful since you got a divorce. Before, I had this feeling that you were having a very hard life.”
Jiang Shiyuan touched her face. "Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Of course! Anyway, you've finally climbed out of the grave of marriage and seen the light of day again. I'm truly happy for you, sister! But..."
Su Xier blinked her bright eyes, "What about your son? Are you going to fight a custody battle with that scumbag Xie? He's so insidious, selfish, and vicious, he definitely won't give up."
“I will not seek custody. I have many things to do and need to develop my career. I do not have the extra energy to take care of the child.”
Jiang Shiyuan said casually, "Besides, I think Tongtong would rather stay with the Xie family than follow me. He can receive a better education there, and he will have a bright future."
Su Xier cursed angrily, "Damn it! If you get divorced, won't that green tea bitch Lin Zhixin just usurp your place and get a free son?"
Jiang Shiyuan lowered her eyes, her expression pale. "She and Tongtong get along very well, and Tongtong likes her very much."
"If she's so eager to become a stepmother, is she some kind of hen that can't lay eggs?!"
Su Xier laughed and scolded, but her eyes welled up with tears. She hugged Jiang Shiyuan tightly and said, "Baby, leave that stinky man and your life will surely be brilliant."
You used to protect me; now, I'll protect you.
Jiang Shiyuan felt a lump in her throat and nodded gently.
To celebrate Jiang Shiyuan's determination to escape her terrible marriage and start a new life, Su Xier insisted on dragging her out for some fun and excitement.
"Honey, I was away on a business trip the other day and couldn't celebrate your birthday, but I'm determined to make it up to you today!"
Jiang Shiyuan was speechless. "If you're any later, I'll have to put longevity peaches on my birthday cake."
Su Xier laughed heartily, "I'm going to take you to my happy hometown, the male models there are absolutely amazing!"
"Huh? Go to a place like that? Never mind... Haven't you heard the old saying?"
Jiang Shiyuan waved her hands repeatedly, "Red beans grow in the south, so we can't choose male models!"
"I've only ever heard the saying, 'In youth, one gives red beans; in old age, one marries a turtle!'"
Su Xier threw herself into her arms, laughing so hard she was shaking. "Shiyuan, you were absolutely right to get a divorce! That scumbag Xie is a complete bastard!"
...
Finally, Jiang Shiyuan couldn't resist and turned into a porcelain doll that Su Xier could dress up as she pleased. She dragged Su Xier to a large club in Beijing that had just opened not long ago, called "Crossing Boundaries".
As the two stunning beauties, Jiang Shiyuan and Su Xier, stepped out of the multi-million dollar Bugatti, the men around them, like sharks smelling blood, fixed their greedy gazes on them, unable to tear them away.
Jiang Shiyuan was very curious about where she got her car.
She knew that Su Xier's life had improved now, and she had a considerable annual salary, but she wasn't someone who could easily afford a luxury car worth tens of millions.
However, she doesn't like to pry into other people's private lives, so she didn't ask.
The two sat in a corner booth, and Su Xier ordered a row of colorful small sweet wines.
In the psychedelic light and shadow, Jiang Shiyuan saw a large expanse of her white back exposed to the air, with red lips, lotus-like arms, a slender waist, and long legs, exuding sexiness and allure.
Su Xier's beauty is the kind that exudes a fierce and heroic aura.
Women would fall in love with it, let alone men.
Tonight, Jiang Shiyuan wore a dark green long dress, revealing her fair and delicate swan neck and her beautiful, aloof collarbones. Even with only a sliver of skin showing, she was already alluring and captivating; if she revealed any more, she would likely become the target of all the men in the room.
"Beautiful lady, you're so gorgeous, you're totally my ideal type."
A man, drawn by the scent, approached. Seeing Su Xier's provocative attire, he thought she was easy to seduce and reached out to put his arm around her waist. "Want to play with your brother? I'll make sure you have a good time."
Jiang Shiyuan was startled!
Just as she was about to step forward to stop him, Su Xier spread her slender fingers and slapped the man across the face, pushing him hard backward:
"Get the hell out of here! Don't suddenly develop an embarrassing illness in front of me!"
Several more men came over to chat her up, but Su Xi'er chased them all away.
"Can you go cool off somewhere else? Seeing you makes my cerebellum shrink!"
"We have no grudge against each other, so please stop torturing my eyes, okay?"
"Little brother, with such strong female hormones, you're still trying to pick up girls? How about I buy you a pack of sanitary napkins to use as padding?"
Jiang Shiyuan, listening from the side, was practically laughing her head off.
"Honey, come on! Tonight we're drinking until we drop!"
Su Xier picked up a glass of green wine and shoved it into her hand, saying, "Happy birthday! Long live divorce!"
Jiang Shiyuan lowered her eyes, staring at the glass of wine called "Green Light," and gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of her lips.
From the name to the color, everything suits me well.
Actually, she hadn't fully recovered and shouldn't be drinking alcohol. But she could refuse anyone else, except her best friend.
Soon, after several rounds of drinks...
With the dazzling lights and dynamic music, Jiang Shiyuan gradually became flushed and intoxicated.
Su Xier couldn't hold back any longer and went down to have fun, leaving Jiang Shiyuan sitting alone in the card room, feeling dizzy and with a buzzing in her ears.
"Beautiful lady, are you alright?" A strange man's voice came from beside me.
Jiang Shiyuan squinted her misty eyes, but couldn't make out the man's face. All she could see was a dark tattoo on his neck.
"I've been watching you for a while now, and I'd like to be friends with you. How about we grab a drink?" The tattooed man took the opportunity to lean closer and press his arm against her waist.
Jiang Shiyuan felt a surge of physical disgust and dodged to the side.
"I never make friends in places like this. Please leave..."
"You come here with such heavy makeup and dressed so sexily, isn't it all just to make friends?"
The tattooed man exhaled a strong breath of alcohol into her ear, swirled his glass with his left hand, and rubbed his right hand against Jiang Shiyuan's back, attempting to do something naughty. "Actually, you're hoping something will happen, aren't you?"
Stop pretending. I've seen plenty of two-faced women like you.
"Don't touch me!" Jiang Shiyuan stood up with a trembling body, swaying violently, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
The tattooed man stared intently at her flushed face and limp body, licking his lips as he moved closer once more.
"If you don't leave, I'll... I won't be polite!" Jiang Shiyuan's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she gripped the wine bottle on the table tightly with her slender hand.
"Hehe, playing hard to get, interesting."
The tattooed man pointed to the top of his head and grinned lewdly, "Come on, hit me here, hit me hard, make me feel good."
Jiang Shiyuan's breathing became labored, and her hand holding the wine bottle trembled uncontrollably.
Apart from the last time when she slapped Xie Jinghuai in a fit of anger, she has never hit anyone in her life!
Moreover, she was extremely drunk at the moment, and the world was spinning before her eyes. How could she possibly muster any strength?
Suddenly, Jiang Shiyuan felt a deep, burning heat surge up from behind, silently enveloping her. A clear, subtle fragrance, carrying a strong scent, wafted into her nostrils.
The next second, a large, pale hand reached down from behind her, its rough palm enveloping her hand holding the wine bottle.
Jiang Shiyuan's eyelashes fluttered, and before she could react, her hand was raised high and swung violently—
"ah--!"
With the tattooed man's scream, the bottle shattered into pieces above his head!
