Chapter 22 Lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own foot [22]
Ah Chu could only see content posted online and comments from netizens.
But when Wen Zhiyu came to have dinner with her, she learned more.
Wen Zhiyu told her that Madam Wen had fainted due to the shock.
The first thing she said to Wen Zeyu after waking up was to tell him to divorce Cheng Susu immediately and bring A Chu back to remarry.
Looking at the quiet and serene Achu under the lamplight, Wen Zhiyu asked her, "If Aze comes to find you, will you remarry him?"
Achu looked at him in surprise and replied, "Of course not!"
"Even if I have a good temper and a gentle nature, I'm not someone you can just summon and dismiss at will."
Hearing her say that, Wen Zhiyu felt relieved.
After all, they had just divorced, and A Chu must still have feelings for Wen Zeyu.
That's why Wen Zhiyu was a little worried that she might turn back.
It now seems that although Achu has a gentle personality, she also has her own principles and persistence.
Wen Zhiyu smiled and said what was on her mind: "Then I'm relieved."
Achu glanced at him, but was relieved without asking why.
Wen Zhiyu continued, "Although Madam Wen wants Aze and Cheng Susu to divorce, they may not actually do so."
Achu nodded: "Wen Zeyu likes Cheng Susu so much, and he finally got to marry her, so he definitely won't be willing to divorce her."
It's not necessarily true that Wen Zeyu really likes Cheng Susu.
But he certainly won't divorce Cheng Susu so easily.
First of all, if Wen Zeyu divorces Cheng Susu right after it's been revealed that she's not the Cheng family's daughter, outsiders will say that the Wen family is snobbish and can't afford to lose face.
Next is Cheng Susu.
She had always wanted to marry into the Wen family, and now that she was no longer the Cheng family's daughter, she was even less likely to let Wen Zeyu go.
Just you wait, they'll have a long run of trouble.
Indeed, that is the case.
After overcoming her helplessness and despair, Cheng Susu immediately realized she needed to grasp at the last straw: Wen Zeyu.
As long as she is still Wen Zeyu's rightful wife and the second young mistress of the Wen family, it doesn't matter if she is not the daughter of the Cheng family!
Cheng Susu returned to the Wen family manor, just as Madam Wen woke up. She pointed at Cheng Susu and called her a liar, demanding that Wen Zeyu divorce her.
"Mom, I'm sorry... I didn't know... I didn't lie to Aze! Aze and I are truly in love, we just got our marriage certificate, the whole country knows..."
Cheng Susu hugged Wen Zeyu's hand, crying weakly, helplessly, and pitifully while reminding them of something.
Madam Wen and Wen Zeyu also remembered the official announcement of their marriage registration.
At the time, it was to show the Cheng family that Wen Zeyu and Cheng Susu had a really good relationship.
Now, however, they've shot themselves in the foot!
Madam Wen was about to start cursing again when Wen Zeyu spoke first, his tone somewhat irritated: "Alright, Mom, there's no point in saying anything now."
Madam Wen glared: "How is it meaningless?! Divorce her! Then go find Ning Chu and remarry her!"
That's five percent of the company's shares and a billion dollars!
She thought, at worst, she could just keep her divorce from Cheng Susu a secret, just like she didn't make her marriage to Ning Chu public before.
Wen Zeyu was somewhat tempted.
Cheng Susu realized it, and she gritted her teeth inwardly, cursing Madam Wen fiercely in her heart.
Just then, her phone rang.
Cheng Susu picked it up and saw that it was a call from Grandma Cheng.
She quickly answered the phone, her voice trembling with tears, "Grandma~"
No one knows what Grandma Cheng said on the other end of the phone, but Cheng Susu burst into tears of joy.
"Okay, I'm coming right now!"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Susu looked at Wen Zeyu and Madam Wen, the panic in her eyes replaced by confidence.
"Grandma said that although I am not related to her by blood, she likes me so much that she decided to recognize me as her goddaughter."
She said, "What my granddaughter has, I will have too."
The last sentence was not said by Grandma Cheng; it was said by Cheng Susu herself.
Sure enough, after she said that, Madam Wen and Wen Zeyu's expressions changed.
The mother and son exchanged a glance, both understanding what was written in each other's eyes.
They've already gotten their marriage certificate and then made it a high-profile official announcement.
If an immediate divorce is not an option, then the only hope is that Old Mrs. Cheng truly loves Cheng Susu as she says, treating her like her own granddaughter.
Madam Wen rubbed her face, forcing a stiff smile.
"Susu, Mom must not have slept well last night. She's confused and that's why she's talking nonsense."
"You and Aze should get along well, and we must never mention divorce again!"
It's as if Cheng Susu was the one who just shouted for a divorce.
Cheng Susu inwardly scoffed, but outwardly remained obedient: "Mom, don't worry, Aze and I will absolutely not get a divorce!"
Wen Zeyu glanced at Cheng Susu's obedient face, and couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.
.
"Does Old Mrs. Cheng really like Miss Cheng?"
After dinner, Achu and Wen Zhiyu took a walk in the garden to digest their food.
She heard from Wen Zhiyu that Old Madam Cheng wanted to adopt Cheng Susu as her goddaughter.
Wen Zhiyu turned his head and looked down at A Chu, a smile appearing in his eyes: "Probably."
He didn't tell Achu that it was all part of his plan.
Just when Wen Zeyu and her son thought their hopes had been dashed, they were given new hope.
Let's wait and see, then let them completely lose hope.
Wen Zhiyu did not want A Chu to know his full identity for the time being.
At least, she didn't want Achu to know before he fell in love with her.
But did Achu really not know?
A gust of wind blew by, and Achu raised her hand to lift the long hair that was covering her face.
Her eyes sparkled, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly: "Forget it, those things have nothing to do with me, let's not talk about them anymore."
"I've come up with a name for my legal aid organization: Rebirth. What do you think?"
Wen Zhiyu raised an eyebrow: "Rebirth? Does it mean being reborn?"
Achu nodded with a smile: "Yes!"
Wen Zeyu praised, "Your name is very good, it suits you very well."
Ah Chu blushed slightly at his praise.
She turned around with her hands behind her back, her steps light and her tone cheerful: "I have to go out tomorrow to choose a studio!"
"Attorney Yu also recommended several other lawyers to me; they said they'd like to meet with me too!"
"Once the organization is officially established, we'll start working! We hope to help many, many people in need!"
Seeing that she rarely showed any youthful energy, Wen Zhiyu was also infected by her emotions.
Under the pinkish-orange sunset, in a vibrant garden, Achu, dressed in a white dress, let her skirt and hair sway gently.
She was like a butterfly that suddenly wandered into a garden and began to dance.
She turned back and smiled at him, a smile that made Wen Zhiyu feel that everything around him paled in comparison to her.
He could only see her.
Wen Zhiyu heard his own heartbeat.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Each beat is faster than the last.
At the same time, Achu also heard the system's electronic notification in his mind.
[Ding! Your target's affection level has increased by 10, currently at 89!]
