Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At the weekly meeting in the meeting room.

The managers of the various departments explained their work in order. Shang Yan listened and gave suggestions from time to time.

Ding dong—

A new message from Qu Xiao.

Shang Yan clicked on it. In the picture were familiar street views and buildings. Through the brown glass, he could see Qu Xiao’s reflection.

He looked at his watch and guessed that Qu Xiao was on her way to the hospital for a follow-up.

Shang Yan was going to reply after the meeting ended, but before the screen went off, an unknown number called.

He frowned and signaled his assistant Li to stop the report before pushing the wheelchair outside.

When he picked up the phone, Mr. Qu hurriedly introduced himself. “Mr. Shang, I’m Qu Xiao’s father!”

Shang Yan was a little surprised. He had a business marriage with Qu Xiao and had only met his so-called father-in-law a few times. They were practically strangers.

Mr. Qu paced around nervously as he held his phone with a smile. His eyes were filled with scheming light.

He said with a stupid smile, trying to sound honest. “I heard from Qu Qi that you had a conflict with Xiao? I want to apologize on her behalf.”

“Our Qu family does know about Ling Chi and Xiao’s relationship. However, we thought that Xiao would completely cut off her relationship with him after she got married. I never expected them to do such a ridiculous thing. They’ve completely disgraced our Qu family!”

“But Mr. Shang, the Ling family has some influence after all. It’s not good for us to lock Ling Chi up at the police station.”

Shang Yan’s face darkened, and he was apparently very upset. He clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his anger.

“Xiao actually wanted to let Ling Chi out, but she was afraid of your opinion, so she wanted me to plead with you.”

“Can we...”

Shang Yan’s thin lips curled into a sarcastic smile as he sneered coldly.

He deleted his chat history with Qu Xiao and returned to the meeting room to inform everyone that the meeting was over.

The assistant Li sent him back to the villa. The butler saw Shang Yan’s dark expression and felt that something was wrong.

...

In the evening, the butler and nanny felt worried as Shang Yan had been sitting in the living room for the whole afternoon.

They wanted to call Qu Xiao, but she happened to enter with shopping bags of all sizes.

Qu Xiao left the things on the floor and rubbed her sore arm as she laid on the sofa tiredly.

Sensing that someone seemed to be staring at her from afar, Qu Xiao turned around and found Shang Yan sitting there with a cold expression. She quickly sat up and tidied her messy hair and dress. “You’re back?”

“The doctor said I’m recovering well. On the way back, I prepared a surprise for you!”

“Guess what it is!”

Qu Xiao hid one of the shopping bags behind her.

Shang Yan looked at her actions and found it ridiculous.

He pushed the wheelchair toward her and pointed at the stack of documents on the coffee table. He said coldly, “These are the divorce papers that I got my lawyer to draft. I’ve already signed mine. We can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to finalize the divorce at any time.”

“As for the distribution of assets, I can satisfy your request... But I hope you can disappear from my life as soon as possible!”

Shang Yan wanted to stuff the divorce papers into her palm, but Qu Xiao pushed them away instinctively. The few pieces of paper fell to the ground.

When Qu Xiao met his emotionless eyes, she felt inexplicably flustered. She recalled everything that had happened since last night and could not figure out where she had gone wrong. She ran to Shang Yan’s side and squatted down, placing her hand on his knee as she asked in a tight voice, “Why?”

“There has to be a reason, right?”

Shang Yan pried her fingers away, a mocking smile on his lips. “How long do you want to lie to me?”

“If you wanted to save Ling Chi so badly, why did you call the police?”

“We’re all adults. You can speak your mind directly. There is no need to involve your father...”

Qu Xiao looked at Shang Yan in confusion and pointed at herself with a frown. “We seem to have a misunderstanding!”

Shang Yan thought that she was still making excuses. He shook his head with the tip of his tongue against his teeth. “Contact me if you want to discuss conditions. During this period, I will stay in the apartment outside. I will send someone to the police station to cancel the lawsuit. Ling Chi will be released soon. I wish you happiness!”

Qu Xiao’s eyes widened. All the dots were connected at this moment. It must be the Qu family behind this!

She rushed to Shang Yan and raised her arms to stop him. “Wait! I’ll take you somewhere!”
