Chapter 716 When are you free to discuss the divorce?
"Wuwu, let's get together another day."
Lou Ying covered her phone and whispered, "My real husband is jealous, I have to coax him."
"OK."
After ending her conversation with Lou Ying, Pei Jinwu immediately dialed Shang Shiyan's number and got straight to the point: "Prepare a wedding gift. My brother has managed to win Lou Ying over."
"Jiang Yingdi is really shrewd." Although he gave him a word of advice, the old fox was somewhat uncomfortable inside, and said with a hint of jealousy, "He pursued me later than me, but got his official title earlier than me."
"Oh~"
Sensing the envy and jealousy in his words, Pei Jinwu raised an eyebrow and deliberately said, "If Master Shang really can't wait, why not find a twenty-year-old to marry?"
"I can definitely wait."
Shang Shiyan pinched the bridge of his nose, a smile playing on his lips. "I'll go prepare the wedding gifts. How about two buildings?"
"You decide," Pei Jinwu said casually. "Anyway, Lou Ying likes money, and she's happy with anything related to money."
End the call.
Shang Shiyan opened the family group chat. Two minutes earlier, Jiang Jibai had officially announced his marriage.
Although Sheng Beitang and Xia Xun were angry at his rashness, they couldn't interfere in the affairs of young people.
Besides, Lou Ying is their chosen daughter-in-law, and they've already given her a bride price.
Getting married is inevitable.
The two offered their sincere blessings and reminded Jiang Jibai to treat the other person well.
Don't be like He Huaixu—
He's married, but it's like he's never been married at all; now his wife wants a divorce.
No woman could stand his sullen and silent demeanor.
He Huaixu opened his phone after finishing the experiment.
The sky has fallen.
My older brother is getting married?
How did you end up insulting him?!
He Huaixu typed on the keyboard: "Congratulations, happy marriage!"
Before Jiang Jibai even appeared, Xia Xun replied first: "Look at your older brother, then look at yourself. He Huaixu, what exactly is going on between you and your wife?"
Xia Xun: "Either stay together and make it work, or if the relationship really breaks down, part ways amicably. Let the girl go and let her pursue happiness."
"..."
Looking at his mother's message, He Huaixu sighed deeply and opened Bai Luoshuang's WeChat.
The last time we chatted was two months ago.
The last message was: When are you free to talk about the divorce?
He was busy at the time, and the agreed-upon divorce date was postponed.
And then—
She didn't contact him, and he pretended not to know.
I pondered for a long time.
He Huaixu replied to his mother, "I will seriously consider it."
——
Above the clouds.
Pei Jinwu leaned against Shang Shiyan, eating fruit while staring at the chat history. "I'm quite curious about this second sister-in-law."
"It's said to be a business marriage." Shang Shiyan stroked her face, his thin lips moving slightly. "If you don't love each other, you should end it sooner rather than later, so that both of you can be better off."
"Is that so?"
Pei Jinwu turned her head, her gaze falling on Shang Shiyan's face, and said in a muffled voice, "Why do I feel that my second brother doesn't seem to have no feelings for my second sister-in-law?"
"You've started to judge other people's relationships now?"
Shang Shiyan was amused by her words, recalling how he almost died from exhaustion when he was pursuing her.
Emotional intelligence is almost non-existent, but they understand love.
"snort."
Pei Jinwu snorted, propped herself up, and stared intently at Shang Shiyan, "Hey Shang, how about we make a bet?"
"What are we betting on?"
Shang Shiyan also became somewhat interested, gazing tenderly at the girl.
"If Second Brother likes Second Sister-in-law, you can sleep in the study for three months."
"The stakes are too high."
Upon hearing this, Shang Shiyan's face darkened immediately, and he said sternly, "This is no fun, I'm not playing anymore."
"..."
Pei Jinwu pouted, "She really can't accept defeat."
——
Nanzhou.
Bai Luoshuang got up early, fed the fish and watered the flowers.
Go to the front hall for breakfast.
"Shuangshuang is here." Madam He looked at her with a loving smile. "Auntie said you caught a chill last night, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, thank you for your concern, Mom." Bai Luoshuang wore a plain-colored cheongsam, her long hair was tied up and naturally draped behind her, making her look gentle, composed, elegant and noble.
"What's the situation in Huaixu?"
Mr. He put down his chopsticks, looked at her coldly, and said in an even colder tone, "Are you not planning to come back? Are you not going to acknowledge us as your parents?"
Since his true identity was revealed, that brat has never come back.
“Dad, Huaixu isn’t that kind of person.” Bai Luoshuang frowned and whispered, “The research lab is very busy, he doesn’t have time to come back for the time being.”
"inability!"
Father He's face turned cold, and he said in a gloomy voice, "After so many years of marriage, you still can't hold onto a man's heart. I don't know what the point is of the Bai family going to such lengths to marry you off."
"..."
Bai Luoshuang lowered her eyes and listened silently to her father-in-law's scolding.
yes.
It seems to be of little use.
Even as a tool, she didn't realize her full potential.
"Alright."
Madam He interrupted her husband, her face grim. "You know Huai Xu's personality from childhood to adulthood. And since Shuangshuang married into the family, they..."
The main problem is that the two people don't love each other and have no emotional foundation.
In addition, Huaixu is always away from home, so they rarely see each other.
What can she do?
To her—
An arranged marriage had dragged the two of them through so much trouble, causing them both immense pain, and it pained her to watch.
If all else fails, just disconnect it.
"snort."
Mr. He lost his appetite for breakfast. He slammed the package down on the table, stood up, and said coldly, "Either you go and find him for me, or the Bai family's cooperation for the next quarter is off."
He knew that the daughter who "schemed" into marrying into the family was no good person.
The Bai family is even more so.
"Yes, Father."
Bai Luoshuang's face paled, and her eyes involuntarily reddened. She nodded slightly.
After Mr. He left, Mrs. He pulled Bai Luoshuang to her side.
"That's just how your father is. He's angry with Huaixu, so don't take it to heart."
Although Bai Luoshuang's marriage into the family caused quite a stir back then, I've seen it all over the years.
She was a gentle, well-mannered, and very likable child.
What a pity!
Why is the relationship between the two children so bumpy?
"I know."
Bai Luoshuang nodded and said softly, "Mom, I'll go to the capital to see Dr. He."
"good."
Madam He patted her hand and said softly, "Shuangshuang, I still hope you two can make up."
Make up?
Bai Luoshuang pursed her lips, her face deathly pale.
It seems like they've never gotten along.
In his eyes, she was a wicked woman who would stop at nothing to create scandals and force him to marry her.
——
After breakfast.
Bai Luoshuang returned to her parents' home.
"Oh, what brings Mrs. He here?"
A middle-aged woman with elaborate makeup and a flamboyant appearance was staring at her menacingly.
The current mistress of the Bai family, Bai Luoshuang's... stepmother.
If it weren't for the mother and daughter's scheming, she wouldn't have ended up in He Huaixu's room by mistake.
A chaotic night.
She was even photographed in compromising situations by reporters who were lying in wait, and the photos were widely circulated.
He Huaixu had no choice but to marry her to quell the storm.
Where is Grandma?
Bai Luoshuang ignored her and coldly looked around.
"The old lady has been ill for many days and is recuperating in the backyard."
Madam Shen didn't even glance at her, continuing in a sarcastic tone: "Instead of worrying about your grandmother, you should think about how to explain things to your father later."
"I heard he suffered a lot at the He Group."
Seeing that Bai Luoshuang didn't retort, Madam Shen went even further, mocking, "If it had been my Luoxi who married He Huaixu back then, how could she have failed to win the favor of the He family?"
After planning for half a day—
It was all for nothing but the benefit of Bai Luoshuang, that good-for-nothing.
——
There's more.
