Lin Xue was called back to the old house by the old man today. She already knew everything about Pan Xudong and Yang Qian. She was afraid that her parents would worry, so she held back her tears when she was at the Lin family. She only cried her heart out after she came back.
After crying, Lin Xue realized that the divorce she had imagined countless times before was actually so painful when it really came.
"Let's part ways in peace," Lin Xue said with a sob, suppressing the reluctance in her heart.
Pan Xudong's face darkened. He calmed himself and continued to unbutton his shirt. "What do you mean by parting ways amicably? We're living happily together. Why are you saying such unlucky things? What rumors have you heard?"
He changed into his home clothes and plopped down next to Lin Xue. He pinched his brows and said tiredly, "I told you I've been busy lately. I've just been transferred here to such a powerful position. There are too many people who want to get close to us, and even more who want to pull me down by my own hair. I can't handle it all outside. Can't you be more careful at home and give me some peace of mind?"
"The more it gets to this critical moment, the more people are spreading rumors, just waiting for my family to be in turmoil and unable to take care of the outside world! But at this time, you don't help me stabilize the rear, and you are still trying to force me to part ways amicably! You are really ignorant!"
Lin Xue was a little sad at first, but after seeing his series of words, she suddenly felt less sad. It was really hard for him. He was already very tired at work, and he still had to act with her when he got home. Moreover, she was willing to divorce, but this guy still refused to tell the truth.
"I already know about you and Yang Qian."
Pan Xudong's words of blame came to an abrupt end.
But this was only for a moment. Perhaps it was because he had been immersed in officialdom for too long, he did not show the slightest sign of daze, but instead shouted harshly.
"What Yang Qian? I don't even know anyone with that name. What about our business? What business do we have? You're just making up stories all the time. I'm already exhausted from work. Can't you just give me a break?"
Lin Xue looked at him quietly, making Pan Xudong's anger seem very funny.
She sighed, "You don't know Yang Qian, so let me remind you. You were the deputy director of the Beijing City Garden Management Department, and you personally promoted her through your subordinates. How come you forgot so quickly?"
Pan Xudong stubbornly insisted, "I'm also a leader of a department. I've promoted many people before. What's wrong with promoting people who are capable? Could it be that all those women I promoted were having affairs with me? What kind of logic is that!"
Seeing that he was still like this, Lin Xue felt a little annoyed. If it weren't for the substantial evidence in front of her, she would have believed Pan Xudong's righteous explanation.
How normal it is that a male leader promotes a female subordinate. How can it be related to promiscuity?
But he just had to get involved.
"Old Pan, I don't want to break up with you yet. You and that woman started three years ago. You think there's no evidence left, but now is the era of big data, and surveillance cameras are installed everywhere. I'm the only daughter of the Lin family, and my Lin family is no pushover. If they want to find out whether you have a relationship with that woman, they can even do it with just a word."
Pan Xudong fell silent in an instant. He pursed his lips tightly, and a hint of hatred flashed across his slightly drooped eyes.
The Lin family, it’s the Lin family again.
The Lin family is nothing! Sooner or later, he will trample the Lin family under his feet!
The two were silent for a long time until they were suddenly awakened by the sound of the pendulum clock in the living room.
Pan Xudong decided to change his strategy and began to repent.
"I was also drunk at the time, and she kept using that incident to blackmail me. Now I've been transferred back to Qingping, and I've had no contact with her, and I won't have any relationship with her in the future. I promise you, okay? I just made a mistake that all men make. Can you forgive me this time? From now on, I'll tell you everything and won't hide anything."
Lin Xue's tears began to flow again. If she had known this would happen, why didn't she control herself?
"Drunk"? That was just an excuse. If I'd really been drunk, would I have the energy to do those things? Shouldn't I have just fallen asleep after drinking too much? I was just using the alcohol to do things I wouldn't normally do.
There is no such thing as drunken sex.
"When I think about you and that woman being together for three years and having sex countless times during that time, I feel sick just lying in the same bed with you. Even the bed you've lain on, the sofa and chair you've sat on, all make me feel sick."
Pan Xudong's face distorted, but he quickly adjusted himself.
"Think about our relationship for so many years, and Xiaochen. We have a son who's so old. How can we get divorced? I promise to break up with her completely, isn't that enough? If you think I'm disgusting, I can sleep in the study, as long as we don't get divorced."
Lin Xue's tears fell from her delicate and elegant face like beads with broken strings. He knew that they had been in love for so many years, so why didn't he think about it before messing around?
Thinking of Xiaochen, Lin Xue's tears fell even harder. She had worked so hard to take care of the child she had raised, worrying about whether he was cold or hot, but this son had actually known about his father's infidelity for a long time and had been a spy by her side, hiding it for Pan Xudong for so many years.
Just thinking about it, Lin Xue felt extremely disappointed.
It's fine that her own son can't empathize with her, but she actually sided with an outsider? Who could want the best for her son more than a mother like her?
It's better to get a divorce. After the divorce, she won't want her husband and son anymore. She can live a good life alone. She can try all the things she wanted to do but couldn't do before, and go all the places she wanted to go.
So she wiped away her tears and shook her head firmly.
Pan Xudong was a little annoyed. He had said all kinds of good and bad things to her, but why was Lin Xue so stubborn and insisted on getting a divorce?
"No, I don't agree to a divorce. Look at which leader's family has divorced? How can a leader who can't even figure out his own backyard be entrusted with an important task? He'll be criticized to death later. You don't want face, but I do. I tell you, even for my career, you don't have to think about a divorce. If I don't sign, you can see if the Civil Affairs Bureau dares to grant you a divorce!"
"You bastard!"
Pan Xudong sneered, "I'm a bastard, what can you do to me? I won't divorce you. Let's see who can do anything to me. Not many people dare to interfere with my family background!"
Lin Xue was furious. "You've finally revealed your true colors, haven't you? As a leader, do you understand what it means to be in charge of the world if you can't even clean up your own house? You can't even control your own pants, and yet you're trying to control others? The person who promoted you was also blind."
"you!"
This time, it was Pan Xudong who became angry and embarrassed.
"What do you mean by 'me'?" Lin Xue was not a gentle and virtuous girl to begin with, and now she was even more determined not to let herself suffer any loss. Anyone who could hold back at this point was a god, and she couldn't be a god.
"I'm telling you, Pan Xudong, I'm here to discuss a divorce. Don't be so shameless, or I'll have your nude photos all over the place!"
Seeing that Pan Xudong didn't believe it, Lin Xue took out her mobile phone and showed him a few random photos.
In the photo, Pan Xudong is lying naked on the bed with his eyes closed, apparently sleeping. Next to him is a woman in very scantily clad clothes, tightly wrapped around him.
His face suddenly turned green.
