Chapter 1466: Drinking Water, One Knows Its Temperature
Wen Yan began to tell the story of him and his wife, which distracted Su Jiuyao's attention a little.
He said that he and his wife Qiangwei fell in love in college and got married after graduation. He then became a lawyer and Qiangwei became a full-time housewife at home.
Speaking of Xia Qiangwei, Su Jiuyao knew a little about her.
Gu Hanye had said before that Xia Qiangwei was the daughter of the Xia family.
Xiaoyu's ex-boyfriend Yan Hao, the cheating woman Xia Nan, and Xia Qiangwei are cousins. It shows how small the world is.
Xia Qiangwei and Xia Nan's fathers are brothers. They run a real estate company together, which is considered a fairly large family locally.
This made Su Jiuyao even more surprised. As the eldest daughter of the Xia family, why would she want to commit suicide instead of enjoying her good life?
Wen Yan continued to speak...
He said that since he started working at the law firm, he has been very busy, often working overtime until after midnight. Sometimes he has to take on two or three big cases at the same time, and he is so busy that he can't even go home.
He could feel that his wife was very lonely, but he was at the peak of his career and devoted himself to work. It was impossible for him to stay at home with his wife every day.
He thought his wife would find something to do on her own. She also had many hobbies, such as making snacks, dancing, and painting, which could fill her empty life.
But he didn't expect that his wife met a man while learning to paint.
The man was Xie Mingshan, a painter who had achieved some success and had held personal exhibitions.
If Wen Yan had not gone to the art museum while investigating a case and happened to see Xie Mingshan's painting exhibition, Wen Yan would not have known that Qiangwei had become Xie Mingshan's nude model.
After returning, he asked Qiangwei what happened.
Qiangwei said that they were just friends, she was a model for Xie Mingshan, and Xie Mingshan taught her painting for free.
Wen Yan asked her, "Can't our family afford this little tuition? You just want to take off your clothes and show them to others, right?"
These words irritated Xia Qiangwei. She directly admitted their ambiguous relationship and said many things that Wen Yan could not bear.
Having said that, Wen Yan took a sip of tea and pursed his lips into a line, as if he was not drinking tea, but a cup of bitter water.
Shen Cheng patted his shoulder.
Wen Yan put down his teacup and continued, "That day, before we finished arguing, I received a call from my client and went back to work. Not long after this incident, my job was transferred overseas. Qiangwei didn't want to leave Haicheng, so she asked for a divorce. Of course, I refused..."
Su Jiuyao kept looking at her watch, so she only heard Wen Yan's subsequent words intermittently.
Anyway, after that, Xia Qiangwei started to have trysts with Xie Mingshan openly, just to make Wen Yan divorce her.
But Wen Yan never agreed. He was a very strong-willed man and could not tolerate the failure in his marriage and the betrayal of his lover.
In the end, his wife chose to elope with Xie Mingshan.
After this, Wen Yan lost contact with his wife.
But he didn't expect that the next news he received was that his wife committed suicide for love with another man.
He had been coming to terms with the news for the past two days, but he still couldn't believe it.
He also felt very regretful. If he had known that his wife would commit suicide, he would have agreed to a divorce and set her free.
Chen Cheng comforted him and said that the person has not been found yet, and maybe after leaving the blood letter, the two of them really eloped.
Wen Yan shook her head. "They've found her. They found her on an unmanned fishing boat. There were only her and the man on board. I received a call before I boarded the plane. Someone from the Xia family went to see her and did a DNA comparison. It's definitely Qiangwei..."
The topic seemed too heavy. Even Chen Cheng, who was good at livening up the atmosphere, sighed repeatedly and drank his tea in silence, not knowing what to say.
After a moment of silence, Wen Yan looked at his watch.
"By the way, what's wrong with this kid Han Ye? Why hasn't he come yet?"
