Jing Weiyang's gaze was blank; she slowly lowered her head like a robot.
It was an unfamiliar number.
She didn't dare to answer.
But the phone kept ringing incessantly, like a tolling bell from the underworld.
She hesitated for a moment, then finally clicked to answer.
"Hello--"
"Tch~" A disdainful female voice came from the phone: "I thought you wouldn't dare to answer."
Jing Weiyang's expression changed, and she forced back her tears as she questioned, "Ning Luoyao, you did all of this, didn't you!"
"Hahaha~" Ning Luoyao's smug laughter rang out: "Of course I did it, who else could it be?"
But the next moment, her voice was filled with hatred: "Who in this world hates you more than I do? Jing Weiyang, why don't you just die? If you die, Shen Yu will be mine!"
"You're dreaming!" Jing Weiyang wanted nothing more than to rush up to this crazy woman and beat her up. "Do you think everyone's a fool? Just show me the agreement and I'll prove I'm not—"
"Not what? Not an adopted daughter? Didn't steal a man? Hahahaha, who do you think would believe that? Netizens only want to see what they want to see! I'm now seen as a victim by everyone, a poor sister whose happy marriage was stolen by an adopted daughter. The more they like 'Ms. N and Mr. S,' the more they hate you. Everyone will only see you as a mistress! You'll never be able to turn things around!"
"So this was what you were planning all along..." Jing Weiyang's hand holding the phone trembled. "You wanted to ruin my reputation."
"That's right, I'm going to ruin your reputation! Shen Yu likes you, but so what? After this, do you think the Shen family will still tolerate a daughter-in-law with such a tainted reputation? Will the shareholders of Shen Corporation agree? Once the Shen family no longer wants you, it's useless no matter how much Shen Yu loves you!"
"Jing Weiyang, what do you have to compare with me? Stealing from others will bring divine retribution! I'm waiting to see you get dumped, hahahaha~"
Amidst the maniacal laughter, Ning Luoyao hung up the phone.
Jing Weiyang stood frozen in place, as if she had lost all her strength.
So this was Ning Luoyao's real purpose.
Everyone in the Shen family, except for Shen Yu and the old master, disliked her. Everyone thought she had stolen the crown prince away and hoped that she would realize her own shortcomings and get a divorce and leave as soon as possible.
The reason she was able to secure her position as the Crown Princess of the Shen family was because she had the patriarch to keep her in check and Shen Yu to protect her. Given the Shen family's status and position, they didn't need in-laws as a backer, so as long as Shen Yu liked her, he could keep her, a "rich young lady" from a second-rate family. Her only asset was her clean and innocent family background.
Ning Luoyao's method wasn't particularly clever, but it hit her weak spot perfectly—she exposed the most important thing about wealthy families: their pride!
If the same thing had happened a year ago, Jing Weiyang wouldn't have cared at all. It's just a divorce, what's the big deal?
But things are different now.
She loves Shen Yu!
She loves him!
She didn't want a divorce, she didn't...
Jing Weiyang finally couldn't hold back anymore, squatted on the ground and broke down in tears.
She cried her heart out, as if she wanted to cry out all the tears she would ever have in her life.
Just then, the living room door suddenly opened.
Several unfamiliar footsteps entered from outside the door and stopped in front of her.
"Miss Jing," a strange male voice sounded from above. Jing Wei's delicate body trembled slightly before she slowly raised her head.
A man in a suit stood in front of her, with a dozen bodyguards in black behind him.
This man looks strangely familiar... he's a lawyer!
Sure enough, the man's next words confirmed her suspicions:
"These are the divorce agreement and the share transfer agreement. Please sign them."
Jing Weiyang suddenly looked up at him, her beautiful eyes shining brightly: "What do you mean?"
Her gaze made even the most hard-hearted lawyer feel a pang of pity, but he still spoke up:
"If you don't want to sign, that's fine too. At the press conference three days from now, Mr. Shen will personally announce the news of the divorce. It might not look too good then."
"President Shen?" Jing Weiyang suddenly grabbed the man's sleeve and stood up from the ground: "Did Shen Yu send you?"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she denied it: "No, it's impossible. Shen Yu would never do such a thing. I don't believe it!"
Jing Weiyang looked down and searched everywhere for her phone. As soon as she found it, she hurriedly dialed Shen Yu's number.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong—"
Shen Yu did not answer.
"It's okay, he's probably in a meeting,"
She wiped away her tears and continued hitting him.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong—"
No one answered, so she hung up and called again.
When she had called 10 times in a row and still no one answered, tears finally streamed down her face.
She looked up at the lawyer beside her and asked pitifully, "Why isn't Shen Yu answering my calls? Doesn't he want me anymore?"
A look of amazement flashed across the eyes of the men around her. The girl's beautiful face was covered with tears. Her pitiful appearance, like a pear blossom in the rain, made their hearts tremble. They wished they could take their hearts out and beg her not to cry.
It took immense willpower for the lawyer to force himself to look away from her: "For your own good, please sign."
Jing Weiyang shook her head, holding back her tears, and bit her lip hard to stop herself from crying: "I want to see Shen Yu. I will not sign unless he comes." The lawyer sighed and placed the documents in his hand on the coffee table: "Then I'm sorry, Ms. Jing, you cannot leave the villa until you sign."
Jing Weiyang was taken aback: "You're going to put me under house arrest?"
The lawyer didn't say anything and walked out the door with the bodyguard. Jing Weiyang chased after them, but only managed to see the door close in front of her.
