guest House.
Shen Muchen came in.
Li Xue was sitting on the edge of the bed. She hadn't slept all night and looked extremely haggard, with dark circles under her eyes. When she saw Shen Muchen, she immediately stood up. She felt dizzy and staggered.

Shen Muchen hurriedly took two quick steps, reached out to support Li Xue, and helped her sit on the bed, "You look bad."
"Mu Chen." Li Xue's tears fell as soon as she opened her mouth.
She held Shen Muchen's hand and said with sobs, "Mu Chen, I know that I did something wrong with A Li. In the future, I will definitely try my best to make up for A Li and strive to make her forgive me as a mother."
Shen Muchen's face did not show the caring expression that Li Xue expected, and Li Xue felt panicked.
Shen Muchen poured a glass of water for Li Xue, "Drink some water first, have you had breakfast?"
Li Xue shook her head, "I can't eat it."
"Have some breakfast first. After breakfast, we can talk."
Li Xue only felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet. She hurriedly grabbed Shen Muchen's hand and said, "Muchen, what do you want to talk to me about? Tell me now."
Li Xue looked at Shen Muchen, her eyes that could speak showed some expectation, some fear, and some grievance.
Shen Muchen gently pushed Li Xue's hand away and said firmly, "Xue, let's get a divorce."
Li Xue opened her eyes wide, tears rolling out of her eyes, she looked so pitiful.
"You, what did you say? Muchen, you want to divorce me? You want to divorce me!" Li Xue's face was full of disbelief.
Her whole body was shaking like sieve particles, and her hands could no longer hold Shen Muchen's fingers. They were shaking so badly that the warm touch from her fingertips turned cold.
"Mu Chen, we have been married for so many years, and we have a son, a daughter, and an adopted daughter. Do you want to divorce me?"
Shen Muchen patted Li Xue's back gently, handed her a handkerchief, and said solemnly after a while, "Do you want Qi'an to return to the Shen family?"
Li Xue nodded, "Our son must return to the Shen family."
"Qian said that if I divorce you, he will go back to the Shen family."
Li Xue's eyes widened. "It's Ah Li! Ah Li hates me so much that she caused me to get divorced when I was old, leaving me homeless and helpless. Does she hate me so much?"
Li Xue burst into tears, covering her face and sobbing like a beast trapped in a cage, helpless and in pain, yet unable to do anything.
Shen Muchen didn't say anything. He waited until Li Xue finished crying and her emotions gradually calmed down before he continued to speak.
"Ah Xue, if it was just because of Ah Li and Qi An, I would not divorce you."
"Why is that? Do you have someone else in your heart?" Li Xue widened her eyes in surprise.
She kept denying this idea in her mind. It was impossible, absolutely impossible.
She has always been by Shen Muchen's side. Apart from those crazy scientists, no other woman can get close to him. He is not the kind of man who would change his mind easily, so it is still because of Shen Qingli.
"Why is that?" Li Xue asked with a sob.
"Your mentality is completely different now than before. Although the Shen family's status and position will be restored when we return to the capital this time, the storms we face are still great and there are many uncertainties."
"I chose to divorce you, on the one hand to protect you, and on the other hand to protect myself. There are some things that you can't handle well now, and forcing you to handle them will only hurt us all in the end."
"Don't worry, even if I divorce you, I will still take care of your life. I will give you one-third of my salary every month as your maintenance. No matter how much my salary increases, you will always have one-third."
"I will keep the remaining two thirds for myself and take care of Qi'an with the rest."
"Ali and her family are doing well now. She doesn't need me to take care of her, but I will occasionally buy something for the two grandchildren."
Speaking of Dabao and Erbao, Shen Muchen looked at Li Xue. Li Xue had never mentioned the two children born to Ah Li...
"Mu Chen, I won't do anything you don't want me to do. Let's not get divorced, okay?"
Shen Muchen sighed, "Axue, I can't watch you all the time. Even if you take a wrong step, all of us will be implicated."
"And Qi'an..."
Li Xue was stunned for a long while. She remembered the plan between herself and Chu Chu. The light in her eyes slowly dimmed, but she lowered her head and Shen Muchen didn't see it.
"I agree to the divorce, but we have to wait until we return to the capital."
"Okay." Shen Muchen didn't expect Li Xue to agree to a divorce so readily. Originally, their divorce procedures had to be completed after returning to Beijing.
"We'll have to stay here for a while, so we shouldn't stay in the guesthouse anymore. Didn't our superiors say before that they could arrange a yard for us to stay in temporarily? Can we move in?" Li Xue asked.
Shen Muchen nodded, "Okay, if you want to live there, I'll call someone over today."
"Mu Chen." Li Xue reached out and grabbed Shen Muchen's arm.
"What else?" Shen Muchen asked.
From the moment Li Xue agreed to divorce, Shen Muchen could clearly feel his whole body relaxing, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.
"I want Qi'an to come home for a meal. I know he doesn't want to acknowledge me, but I am his biological mother after all. I want to cook a meal for him myself, and Ah Li, too. Is that ok?"
Li Xue looked at Shen Muchen steadily, her eyes full of anticipation.
Shen Muchen thought for a moment and said, "I can call Qi'an over, but as for Ah Li, I can't guarantee that she will come."
"I also want to see Ali's child." Li Xue said.
"As her mother, I didn't know she was pregnant and had a child, and I didn't take care of her for a single day. I feel guilty."
"Mu Chen, we are about to separate. Before we separate, it's not too much to ask for the whole family to have a reunion dinner together." Li Xue said with a sob.
Shen Muchen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
As a mother, it was not excessive for her to ask such a thing.
"I'll tell Ali."
"Thank you, Muchen." Li Xue said with a sob.
Shen Muchen patted her shoulder and turned to leave the room.
The moment the door was closed, a fierce hatred rose in Li Xue's eyes. Shen Qingli, Shen Qi'an, even if you were my children, I would not let you go!
A new vicious idea came into Li Xue's mind, which could not only control Qi'an, but also Shen Qingli!
Shen Muchen didn't know about Li Xue's plan. He walked out the door and asked Gu Qichuan to drive him back to the courtyard. He wanted to discuss something with Shen Qingli.
Shen Muchen had just walked downstairs to the guesthouse when a guard trotted up to him.
"Professor Shen, there's a call from Beijing."
Shen Muchen immediately turned around and went back to answer the phone. Fifteen minutes later, Shen Muchen put down the phone with a serious look on his face...
