Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

In Bai Fengying's view, the only culprit behind the breakdown of her relationship with her husband was the vixen that Qin Zhiyuan hid in Tianzhou, including the bastard child they had!

That woman must have used this bastard child to gradually win her husband back!

In the past, Bai Fengying would never have tolerated such humiliation.

But today, she stubbornly endured it.

Bai Fengying clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her palms, tears still streaming down her face, but her tone was already tinged with anger and urgency, "Won't this implicate the Bai family?"

"Qin Zhiyuan, what do you mean by that? Are you saying you have absolutely no connection with the Bai family anymore?"

"Why do I feel like you've become a different person since you came back from Tianzhou this time?"

"What exactly happened to you in Tianzhou? Or did someone steal your heart?"

Qin Zhiyuan responded, "Bai Fengying, you don't need to test me."

"The reason why our relationship has come to this point has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Ever since we got married, you have never trusted me and have been planting spies around me, trying to completely control me through these means."

“In your eyes, I am just a dog of the Bai family, wagging my tail and begging for mercy from your Bai family, being ordered around by you, Bai Fengying.”

"All my achievements over the years are, in your eyes, a gift from the Bai family."

"You not only disregard my efforts, but also my family and loved ones."

"Back then, our relationship was completely over!"

Bai Fengying was a strong woman after all. Knowing that pleading was useless, she simply stopped crying and asked, "What do you want?"

Qin Zhiyuan said, "It's not a good idea. Since the relationship between husband and wife has broken down, there's no need to try to salvage it."

"Let's get a divorce!"

When Qin Zhiyuan uttered those words, he did not hesitate at all, nor did he show the slightest reluctance.

Instead, I felt an unprecedented sense of relief. When I said those words, it was as if a huge weight had been lifted from my heart.

Bai Fengying was completely stunned, especially when the word "divorce" came out of Qin Zhiyuan's mouth, which made her feel incredulous.

How dare he get a divorce?

She was the eldest daughter of the Bai family, a woman whom many could only dream of.

Qin Zhiyuan used to cherish her as the apple of his eye.

They'd hold it in their hands for fear it would break, and keep it in their mouths for fear it would melt.

And now, Qin Zhiyuan actually dares to openly propose a divorce?

Divorce is not impossible, but it cannot be initiated by Qin Zhiyuan.

Bai Fengying never accepts defeat, not even in matters of the heart!

Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan's words were like an insult to Bai Fengying!

Amidst the shock, a hint of madness and hysteria lingered in Bai Fengying's eyes, unnoticed by Qin Zhiyuan!

Bai Fengying's tone calmed down, "You just told me... about divorce?"

Qin Zhiyuan nodded, "That's right, it's divorce!"

Bai Fengying's fingertips dug fiercely into Qin Zhiyuan's arm, her nails almost piercing his shirt. The madness in her eyes was finally undisguised. "Qin Zhiyuan, say that again? You want a divorce?"

The smell of gunpowder in the air suddenly intensified. Qin Zhiyuan frowned and pushed her hand away, several red marks already left on his arm.

Taking a half step back, Qin Zhiyuan's tone remained calm, but it had become colder and harder. "That's right, I just said divorce."

"This idea wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thought; it was something I'd had for a long time."

"Especially in the last two years, our married life has not been very harmonious, and I believe you can feel that too."

"I tried many things to save this marriage, but you can see the result in the end."

“Recently, I’ve been reflecting on whether our marriage was a mistake from the beginning. If it was a mistake, we should have cut our losses in time.”

"Otherwise, not only will you suffer, but I will suffer too!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely not make things difficult for you regarding the divorce."

"As for the agreement, I will have my lawyer draft it and then submit it to the organization for approval."

"As for the property, I don't want a single penny; I'll leave with nothing!"

Bai Fengying suddenly laughed, her laughter even somewhat shrill, "Not a spur-of-the-moment decision?"

“I believe you. After all, my father was still alive two years ago and could have helped your career.”

"You don't want to leave, and you don't dare to leave, because you can't bear to give up the Bai family's resources."

"Now that my father has passed away, the Bai family's resources are not as good as before."

"You feel you've grown up and that the Bai family can no longer support your future career, so you want to get out of this marriage and find a new partner, right?"

Qin Zhiyuan corrected him, "You're overthinking it. My reason for filing for divorce has nothing to do with my father."

Bai Fengying was utterly unconvinced, and her voice became even more hysterical, "Nothing to do with it?"

"Qin Zhiyuan, if you had filed for divorce when my father was still alive, I might have respected you as a man."

"Now that my father has passed away and the mourning period is not over, isn't it a bit too cruel of you to file for divorce at this time?"

"As for leaving with nothing, you were penniless when you married me, so you should leave with nothing!"

"However, everything you have now, including your job and future, was given to you by the Bai family!"

"You really want a divorce? Fine, but not only will you leave with nothing, I'll also make you resign from your position at the ministry!"

Qin Zhiyuan's brows furrowed sharply, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and a coldness surged in his eyes instantly. "Resign?"

"Bai Fengying, you overestimate the Bai family and underestimate me, Qin Zhiyuan!"

"I, Qin Zhiyuan, got to this position today because of my achievements in tackling tough challenges time and time again, and because of my real-life battles with criminals, not because of the resources handed over by the Bai family!"

"Even if your Bai family's resources were involved, if I, Qin Zhiyuan, were truly a good-for-nothing, would I have been able to get to where I am today?"

“I am not the only son-in-law of the Bai family. There are many other members of the Bai family.”

"They also have the Bai family's resources, and they even have more resources than me. They also started from a higher point than me, so why didn't they reach the point where I am today?"

"Also, your father was willing to help me back then because he saw the value I could bring to the Bai family."

"To put it bluntly, it's an exchange of interests. Your Bai family doesn't have anyone capable, so your father can only support me to take over."

"During my years in office, I've done quite a bit of work for your Bai family, haven't I?"

"When have I ever refused anything concerning the Bai family? And when have I never handled things perfectly?"

"And now you're treating all of this as charity from the Bai family?"
