Chapter 52 Jinghuai is now divorcing me for your sake.
The thought flashed through Wenxi's mind, and she only paused for a moment.
Bai Wei said happily, "Everyone thought this divorce case would take several years, but judging from Zhou Yuan's cooperation, the court will probably expedite it and the case can be concluded in the first half of next year."
"Wenlu, I want a big meal then!"
Wenxi patted her on the shoulder: "No problem."
In the afternoon, Zhou Ruo sent a message to Wen Xi, asking her to go home, and also mentioned that Yan Zhao had argued and returned to the Yan family.
Shang Shen was abroad, so Wen Xi didn't send him any messages.
After get off work, Wenxi drove back to the Yan family home alone.
She was also curious about how she would explain the matter to Zhou Ruo, since Yan Zhao and Lu Jinghuai were getting a divorce over this wedding ring.
As soon as they reached the door, they heard Zhou Ruo's calm voice: "Zhao Zhao, can you answer a few questions for me first?"
Yan Zhao had his back to the door and didn't say a word.
How did your mother find out about the wedding ring?
"She's coming to see Xixi and wants Xixi to buy that wedding ring. Are you aware of this?"
Yan Zhao never expected that even though she and Lu Jinghuai were experiencing a marital crisis and she went home crying, her adoptive mother would only ask about Wen Xi.
Yan Zhao's eyes reddened, but she still answered honestly, "It was Jinghuai and I who had a fight, and my mother saw it, so I could only tell her."
Yan Zhao added, "But I didn't expect her to come looking for Wen Xi. I really didn't expect it."
Zhou Ruo stared intently at Yan Zhao. "So you knew she was going to find Xixi, and you also knew she had Xixi buy that wedding ring?"
Yan Zhao: "I knew, but I thought she was just saying it casually..."
"So you didn't stop her."
Yan Zhao met Zhou Ruo's disappointed eyes and lowered her head sadly: "Yes... I'm sorry, Mom."
Zhou Ruo took a deep breath and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Go back now."
Yan Zhao suddenly looked up, "Mom, don't you want me anymore?!"
With tears welling in her eyes, Zhou Ruo said, word by word, "Your mother's name is Ning Jin. She bullied my daughter to protect you..."
Zhou Ruo felt heartbroken when she thought about how Ning Jin had just visited Wen Xi, and then Wen Xi had developed a stomach ailment.
Xi Xi said her stomach problems were a childhood ailment, and Zhou Ruo strongly suspected that Ning Jin was involved.
If Yan Zhao hadn't been raised by her, and if she hadn't considered their more than twenty years of mother-daughter relationship, she might have turned against Yan Zhao directly.
Yan Zhao broke down in tears: "I'm sorry, Mom. I should have stopped her, but I was only thinking about Lu Jinghuai wanting to divorce me. I really didn't expect her to actually go to Wenxi..."
Yan Xu, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel sorry for his sister. "Mom, don't blame my sister."
"My sister didn't do this on purpose. The one who's in the wrong is Wenxi's adoptive mother. She's stubborn and she can't stop my sister from doing what she wants."
"Speaking of which, Wen Ximing knows what kind of person her adoptive mother is, so why does she still want to meet her?"
Zhou Ruo gave him a deep look: "Yes, your sister couldn't stop you from hitting Lu Jinghuai back then, and now she can't stop Ning Jin from causing trouble for Xixi either."
Yan Xu was speechless, and his face immediately turned ugly: "I was reckless in the fight, please don't blame my sister."
Zhou Ruo ignored Yan Xu and said to Yan Zhao, "I will find an opportunity to talk to Ning Jin about this. She can't let it go like this, bullying my daughter."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhao cried even harder: "Mom, please don't send me away. I'll go apologize to Wen Xi."
"Can you please stop being so cold to me? I'm your daughter... I know I was wrong. Now Jinghuai wants to divorce me, and you blame me too. I'm really in pain."
"I'll go apologize to Wenxi right now."
With that, Yan Zhao got up to leave.
Turning my head, I saw Wenxi leaning against the shoe cabinet watching the show.
Her makeup was ruined from crying, but she still walked up to Wenxi with her head down and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop my mom and you had to suffer."
Wen Xi calmly said, "You don't need to apologize to me. I've already vented my anger on Lu Jinghuai, and I didn't suffer any loss."
Yan Zhao smiled bitterly, "Yes, Jing Huai is now divorcing me because of you... You've certainly gotten your revenge."
Wen Xi frowned: "Yan Zhao, please watch your words. What do you mean by saying that Lu Jinghuai divorced you for my sake?"
This makes it sound like she interfered in their marriage.
Wenxi felt disgusted by the inexplicable rumors being spread about her.
Yan Zhao said, feeling wronged, "Isn't that right?"
Wen Xi said coldly, "The wedding ring was ordered privately by Lu Jinghuai, the fight was between you two, and Ning Jin was the one who started it. What does it have to do with me?!"
Wenxi was so angry that she cursed.
She calmly said, "Besides, how come I remember you were the one making a scene about wanting a divorce from Lu Jinghuai, but in your mouth it's become Lu Jinghuai wanting a divorce from you?"
"Are you imitating Zhu Bajie, deliberately turning the tables on me?"
Yan Zhao felt a stinging pain on her cheek from her blunt and sharp words, and her heart was filled with bitterness.
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Jinghuai still had feelings for Wenxi, she wouldn't have brought up divorce with him in a fit of anger, and Lu Jinghuai wouldn't have agreed so readily.
If Lu Jinghuai didn't want a divorce, why would he agree to it?!
It's obvious that Lu Jinghuai wants a divorce from her!
Wenxi vaguely discerned something from her expression and felt like laughing.
"Lu Jinghuai wants to divorce you because you had a big fight with him over a wedding ring, and your mother made him lose face because of the wedding ring. He has started to question the meaning of your marriage."
"Do you think you can resolve your marital problems by pinning the blame on me?"
Yan Zhao pursed her lips, avoiding the question, and repeated, "I'm sorry. I really didn't expect my mother to come looking for you..."
Wenxi, however, felt that she was beyond saving and said coldly, "Then remember to stop her next time."
She said quietly, "If Ms. Ning says she's coming to see me, then she definitely will."
Yan Zhao lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, as if she had suffered a great injustice: "I will."
After uttering those three words, Yan Zhao strode away from the Yan family, as if he had been bullied.
Yan Xu hurried after Yan Zhao, brushing past Wen Xi and coldly tossing out, "You're really something!"
Wenxi has only been back for a short time, yet her mother has already completely favored her and forgotten about the daughter she raised for twenty-seven years.
Yan Xu only felt that Wen Xi was scheming.
Wenxi stood there, then suddenly smiled.
"Xixi, what are you laughing at?"
"I laughed and said that the two of them looked just like siblings. It's a pity that you didn't give birth to Yan Zhao back then, Mom."
Yan Zhao stubbornly believed that Lu Jinghuai still had feelings for her and wouldn't listen to anyone's advice.
Yan Xu believed that her arrival had taken his sister's place, and no matter who was at fault, it wouldn't change his mind.
