Chapter 78: Ex-wife: My boring ex-wife is with her boss 7...
But what she didn't expect was that no matter how much she begged, Xue Yuan refused to divorce, and as a result, her son was still an illegitimate child even though he grew up this age.
Now Xue Yuan's wife was asking for a divorce, which was exactly what she wanted. She wished Xue Yuan would divorce her and she would become Mrs. Xue, so she softened her voice and gently persuaded:
"Hubby, why are you still thinking about her after she treated you like this? If she makes a scene at work, what will your colleagues think of you? And what will others think of me and my son?"
"You really don't want a divorce? Then what place do my son and I hold in your heart? Isn't it good for the three of us to live together openly and honestly?"
Yang Wei leaned on his shoulder, half complaining and half persuading him, but Xue Yuan kept a sullen face and did not respond.
If he had a choice, he didn't want to divorce Jiang Manzhi. Although Jiang Manzhi wasn't as likable or coaxing as Yang Wei, she had taken care of him wholeheartedly for so many years, and he had feelings for her. Moreover, if they really divorced, the financial situation would be...
Xue Yuan thought about it and decided to wait until he met Jiang Manzhi to see if there was any room for change.
......
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the employees of Qingning Entertainment Company were getting ready to leave work. Xie Zhaoye glanced at his watch and prepared to get up and leave.
He had only taken over the company for less than half a year. When he first came, many shareholders were not optimistic about him, thinking that a young man in his early twenties could not compare with his experienced father. But now, seeing his abilities, those secret voices have disappeared.
This seemingly young and rebellious young man is like a sharp blade. He looks silent in normal times, but his sharpness is revealed when he is unsheathed. He not only solved several major projects, but also led the company to a higher level, which convinced everyone.
Maybe in another five years, even his father, Mr. Xie, won’t be as good as him.
Although Mr. Xie is handsome and capable, there are women in the company who are attracted to him. However, Mr. Xie is usually impartial and strict. Although he has a bad temper, he will not lose his temper for no reason. However, if he finds that his subordinates have developed romantic feelings for him, he will be ruthless. In the past, he scolded several female employees to tears. Since then, no female employees in the company dared to have any improper thoughts about Mr. Xie.
Now, no one dares to underestimate Mr. Xie.
Xie Zhaoye left work a little early today. Normally, he'd be busy at the company for a while before leaving. He was new to the job and wasn't familiar with many things. Plus, his father and a bunch of other people were waiting to see how he performed, so he had to put in a lot of extra effort.
Now that he has almost gotten the hang of the company, he will probably be able to leave work earlier in the future.
So, for the first time, the employees of Qingning Entertainment met Mr. Xie in the elevator at the end of the working day. For a moment, the entire elevator was silent.
Xie Zhaoye frowned habitually, with his hands in his pockets, standing upright at the front of the elevator. From behind, he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and was tall and slender, looking extremely handsome.
The young female employees in the same elevator were winking at each other, probably saying: Look, Mr. Xie’s back is so handsome!
Or maybe he was saying: Mr. Xie is in front, shh, don’t talk!
But it is more likely to mean: Look, Mr. Xie’s butt is so perky!
Because after they exchanged a few glances, they suddenly laughed silently, and their eyes fell on Xie Zhaoye's butt intentionally or unintentionally.
Xie Zhaoye always felt a little awkward standing here, as if someone was staring at him. He moved his feet, without looking back, and continued to wait for the elevator to stop.
After the male employees said "Hello, Mr. Xie", no one spoke anymore and the previously bustling elevator became silent.
Xue Yuan was also in this elevator. He and Jiang Manzhi had made an appointment to meet at a cafe today. When he thought that Jiang Manzhi wanted to meet him to discuss divorce, his face turned sour.
He stood at the innermost part of the elevator, looked up at Xie Zhaoye standing in front of him, and felt a surge of envy in his heart.
She became the heir of Qingning Entertainment and owned an entire group when she was only in her early twenties, while he was in his thirties before he got the position of supervisor. It's true that people have different destinies.
Then he shook his head secretly, with some contempt. Mr. Xie just had a good father. If he also had a good father, he might not be worse than Xie Zhaoye.
As he was lost in thought, the elevator reached the first floor. He followed his colleagues and respectfully said to Mr. Xie, "Goodbye, Mr. Xie."
Xie Zhaoye nodded at them, said "goodbye" and left with his long legs. When he walked out of the company gate, he felt for the key in his pocket, but found nothing.
Xie Zhaoye frowned. He clearly brought his car keys when he went downstairs. Xie Zhaoye thought he might have dropped them in the elevator, so he went back to look for them. Sure enough, he found them outside the elevator.
His key fell at the elevator entrance on the left. He took the key and was about to leave when the elevator door on the right opened. The employees who missed the previous elevator rushed out and walked straight to the right towards the company gate without seeing Xie Zhaoye on the left.
Xie Zhaoye walked slowly behind them and heard the two female employees walking in front of him chatting.
A female employee in her thirties said, "I heard that Manager Xue's wife wants to divorce him. Last time, Old Chen accidentally saw a text message from his wife saying that if he doesn't divorce her, she will sue him."
Another younger female employee said, "Huh? Is it that serious? Manager Xue is young and promising, a nice guy, and a great family man. I often see him calling his wife and kids. Why does he have to get a divorce?"
The older female employee chuckled disdainfully, her voice suddenly lowered, but Xie Zhaoye still heard: "Gu family bullshit! That's his mistress and illegitimate child. He and his wife don't have any children at all."
The other girl was visibly surprised: "Really? Manager Xue doesn't seem like that kind of person. He usually takes good care of us."
"Oh, you should be more careful. You can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. He only pretends to be nice to you new employees. As a veteran employee, who among us doesn't know what kind of person he is? I've been in the company for six years, and from what I just saw, Xue Yuan has had more than three lovers in the company. You never know why he treats you well."
"Eh, that's disgusting. His wife is so pitiful."
"That's right. And his wife is really pretty. She's almost 30, but she's as pretty as a girl in her early twenties. She's also very gentle. I met her once before, and she was always soft-spoken. Xue Yuan is still not satisfied. You don't know, his current mistress used to be an 18th-tier female anchor on Jiaomang, and she's far inferior to his wife."
The young girl said indignantly: "It's true that the flowers at home are not as fragrant as the shit outside. All men are bad!"
"Hahaha, you're right..."
Xie Zhaoye, who heard the whole thing, said: "......"
He had no interest in other people's family affairs, but he had some impression of Xue Yuan. He seemed to be the head of the human resources department. He did his job in a proper manner and looked like a decent person. Unexpectedly, he was a scumbag.
However, it is not possible to conclude that Xue Yuan has a problem with his character based on a few words spoken by others during casual conversation. Although he has a three-point worse impression of Xue Yuan, he does not intend to do anything. His employees' family affairs have nothing to do with him, so he just listens to it.
Thinking of this, he casually walked towards his car with his car keys in hand. He glanced to the side and happened to see Xue Yuan, the male protagonist mentioned by the female employees.
Xie Zhaoye watched him walk into the coffee shop near the company, looking for someone.
Maybe he made an appointment with someone.
Just before he was about to look away, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
The man was sitting by the window, his chin supported by his hand, stirring his coffee unconsciously with his head down. His long black hair was draped over his shoulders, and only a little bit of his profile was exposed, but Xie Zhaoye would never make a mistake.
He watched Xue Yuan sit down in front of her, wondering what they were talking about.
Xie Zhaoye frowned and his expression suddenly turned grim. After staring blankly for a few seconds, he walked towards the coffee shop.
In the coffee shop, Jiang Manzhi didn't notice that Xie Zhaoye had followed them in. He was sitting at a table not far from them and was secretly looking at them. She didn't want to stay with Xue Yuan any longer, so she put the divorce agreement on the table and asked him to sign it.
Xue Yuan looked at her in amazement, and felt that Jiang Manzhi was particularly charming today. The last time he saw her, she was beautiful, but dull and her eyes were lifeless. But now her temperament had completely changed. Although she was still gentle, she inexplicably made people feel more confident and determined. Her whole body seemed to be glowing, and one couldn't look away after taking a look at her.
Xue Yuan felt itchy and wanted to shake Jiang Manzhi's hand with a coaxing smile on his face. However, Jiang Manzhi shrank back suddenly as if she had touched something dirty.
Xue Yuan's outstretched hand hit nothing, his smile froze, and he withdrew his hand awkwardly.
"Manman, do you really want to make things so awkward with me?"
Jiang Manzhi looked at him in confusion. "We're here to get a divorce today. Don't you know what you've done? And you still expect me to be nice to you?"
Xue Yuan choked. Seeing Jiang Manzhi's attitude, he finally understood that Jiang Manzhi was determined to divorce him. He immediately withdrew his smile and frowned:
"What good will a divorce do you? You don't know how to do anything. You haven't had a job in all these years. You have no family and no friends. Do you know how hard it will be for you to live alone?"
He felt a little guilty when he said this. He actually knew clearly that with Jiang Manzhi's appearance, it would be easy for her to live a simple life. However, he still thought that Jiang Manzhi was a housewife who was out of touch with society, and thought these words could scare her.
Xue Yuan then slowed down his voice and said, "I know you blame me for cheating on you. I promise this will be the last time, but you also have to understand me. You can't have children, and I can't let our family be extinct. As long as you promise not to divorce me, I will bring our son back. From now on, this will be our child. I will definitely stay by your side and live a good life."
Jiang Manzhi looked at him in disbelief. She really didn't expect Xue Yuan to be so shameless. Even after all this, he still wanted her to help him raise his illegitimate child. She didn't understand why she had fallen for such a man in the first place.
"Do you think it's possible? You've been married for several years and cheated on me multiple times. You've also constantly suppressed me and belittled my value in our marriage. Now you shamelessly ask me to take in your child with your mistress. I'm telling you, it's absolutely impossible! I feel sick just being in the same space with you. Either we divorce peacefully or we'll see each other in court."
Jiang Manzhi's words were merciless. Although she spoke slowly, her expression was cold, and her originally gentle and healing temperament was also tinged with frost.
Jiang Manzhi's voice was not low, and the guests at the nearby tables kept looking at their table curiously. After hearing what Jiang Manzhi said, and being looked at with contempt by others, Xue Yuan became even more irritated.
