Seeing Bai Qingzhi's surprised look, Lin Nuannuan's smile widened, and then she reached out and gently pinched Bai Qingzhi's cheek.
"Zhizhi, I want a divorce from him."
This time, Bai Qingzhi's mouth remained open.
"Are you sure? This... can't be that bad, can it?"
"How could it not be? I mind it a lot. If he has something he can't say or some other purpose, as his wife, how could I possibly tell him? If it's not like that, and he just likes and admires that girl, then why am I even here?" Lin Nuannuan's personality is usually very decisive, and this time she really crossed her bottom line.
Xiao Yuan was also nearby, and Bai Qingzhi didn't know what to do for a moment, so she could only look at Xiao Yuan with pleading eyes.
“I agree.” Xiao Yuan actually nodded.
Bai Qingzhi stared at him with wide eyes and tilted her head in disbelief. What kind of older brother is this?!
"Thank you, big brother." Lin Nuannuan smiled with relief; she had really been afraid that Xiao Yuan would stop her.
No sooner had she finished speaking than there was a knock on the door. Bai Qingzhi looked on curiously, wondering who could be coming so early in the morning.
As soon as the door opened, two tiny toddlers, barely taller than her legs, rushed in, hugged her legs, and called her "Auntie" in their clear voices. Then they tilted their heads and looked into the house.
The moment Lin Nuannuan saw the two children, tears welled up in her eyes, while Xiao Yuan watched silently from the side.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Bai Qingzhi leaned closer to Xiao Yuan and asked in a low voice.
"I can't let Yang Jing lose his wife, can I?" Xiao Yuan replied with a sly wink.
"My child..." Lin Nuannuan wanted to take the child away, but she guessed that there was an 80% chance the Xiao family wouldn't agree.
"I can let you take the child away." To everyone's surprise, Xiao Yuan nodded directly.
"However, I have one condition."
Lin Nuannuan's initial resolve to give up was rekindled. She knew that the Xiao family wouldn't let her take the two children away so easily, so she wasn't surprised when she heard that the other party had conditions.
"Brother, please speak."
“You can get a divorce, but it has to be three months later, after Mom’s birthday. During this period, you can take the children to live elsewhere, but the children’s quality of life cannot be lowered. After all, they are the Xiao family’s children. Even if they live with Mom, they must be treated like young masters and misses. We will provide living expenses and child support, so you don’t have to worry about money at all.”
Xiao Yuan rattled off a long speech in one breath, which surprised Bai Qingzhi and made her somewhat amused.
It seems that Xiao Yuan is somewhat anxious about his younger brother's marriage; otherwise, given his aloof nature, how could he have said so much?
Lin Nuannuan thought the other party would make some unreasonable demands, but she didn't expect it to be so simple.
Without hesitation, Bai Qingzhi nodded in agreement and immediately followed up:
"Leave the accommodation to me. I have an apartment near the city center that's just right for the three of us, and there's even room left for a maid."
Lin Nuannuan looked at Bai Qingzhi with emotion. From when she was all alone to when she got pregnant and ran away, and now when she was getting a divorce, Bai Qingzhi had always been by her side.
Although she couldn't say anything comforting, she always silently supported him from behind.
Reaching out, Lin Nuannuan pulled Bai Qingzhi into her arms. She hadn't cried when she wanted a divorce, but she cried now.
"Qingzhi, thank you."
"We're friends, no need to thank me." Bai Qingzhi hugged the other person back, her voice choked with emotion.
Lin Nuannuan moved out of the Xiao family that very day. Xiao's mother looked at her with reluctance, but didn't say much.
She respects all her daughter-in-law's decisions, especially since it was her son who made a mistake this time.
Bai Qingzhi stayed with Lin Nuannuan at her place for a week. During that week, Xiao Yangjing didn't call back even once, nor did he contact his family.
If Xiao Yuan hadn't kept an eye on him, everyone would have thought he had disappeared in an accident.
On the eighth day, Xiao Yangjing's call finally went through, but a woman answered the phone.
"He's taking a shower. Who are you?" The woman's voice was seductive; just listening to it could make one's bones melt.
"I'm his older brother. Tell him that it's his last day. If he's had enough fun, he should hurry back." Xiao Yuan was completely unaffected.
Without waiting for a reply, he hung up the phone.
When Xiao Yangjing came out of the bathroom, he saw the woman holding his phone, but he didn't pay any attention to it.
“Yang Jing, your elder brother.” The woman repeated Xiao Yuan’s words.
Xiao Yangjing sighed, then turned around and began packing his luggage.
"Yang Jing, is your older brother scary?" the woman asked curiously as she leaned closer to him.
“Getting beaten up for offending him is a minor matter; the most important thing is that he controls my financial lifeline.” Xiao Yangjing finished speaking and tugged at the necklace around the woman’s neck.
"Okay." The woman nodded, understanding that he knew how to play ball.
"What are you still standing here for?" Seeing that the woman was not moving, Xiao Yangjing turned his head and asked.
"Then what am I supposed to do?" The woman was sexy and alluring, but every time she spoke, she gave off a sense of innocent foolishness.
"Pack your things and come back to City A with me!" Xiao Yangjing replied with a frown.
"Can I go back too?" The woman's eyes widened in surprise.
Seeing Xiao Yangjing nod affirmatively, the woman jumped for joy and then took out all her clothes.
"You can't take these." Xiao Yangjing threw the clothes back.
"Never mind, I'll buy you some more when we get back." Xiao Yangjing frowned as he looked at the pile of fluffy clothes on the floor and made his decision.
Although the woman was somewhat reluctant, she ultimately agreed.
The Xiao family received the news when the two boarded the plane. When Xiao's father heard that he had brought that woman back, he walked into the study with a cold smile.
Then he took out the whip ruler that he hadn't used in almost ten years.
When Xiao Yuan saw it, he felt pain all over his body; he had been beaten a lot when he was a child.
When Xiao Yangjing got off the plane, he saw that his family driver was already waiting there. He tentatively asked his family how they were feeling, but the driver did not say anything.
The woman looked around curiously, seemingly unfamiliar with everything.
The Xiao family was all present today, and Xiao Yangjing felt a murderous aura the moment he stepped in.
The woman then walked out from behind him and stood beside him.
"Who is she?" Xiao's mother suppressed her anger and tried her best to keep her tone calm.
"My name is Xiao Li, a name given to me by Yang Jing," the woman said with a smile before Xiao Yang Jing could even reply.
The entire Xiao family fell silent.
Why does this girl seem... mentally unstable?
She looked at Xiao Yangjing with suspicion, wondering if her son was deceiving the girl because he thought she was not intelligent.
"Mom and Dad, let me explain," Xiao Yangjing said, waving his hands.
He saw the whip and ruler next to his father, and the thought of how it would feel to be hit made him grimace.
However, before he could even speak, Xiao Yangjing sensed the quietness in the house.
