After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

"Ouch!"

Xu Fei took a step back.

Frowning, she glared angrily at the clumsy man who had bumped into her.

But the other person turned out to be a middle-aged woman around forty years old.

Her hair was tied up casually, her face was pale, and she had two obvious dark circles under her eyes.

He looked extremely haggard.

"Hey! Can't you watch where you're going? You bumped into me, you know that?"

Just as Xu Fei opened her mouth to question him, her hand was suddenly grabbed tightly by the middle-aged woman.

"what are you doing?"

Xu Fei was startled.

"Miss, are you an employee of the Zhuo Group? Please, take me to see President Zhuo, okay? I want to beg him to let my husband go!"

"Your husband?" Xu Fei was completely confused. "Who is he?"

"Principal Liu!"

The middle-aged woman was afraid that Xu Fei would leave, so she held Xu Fei's hand and refused to let go.

She pleaded, "Miss, please help me! My husband is innocent; he would never do such a thing to a woman."

"Ah!"

Xu Fei rolled her eyes and smiled.

only……

His smile was somewhat cold, filled with a calculating glint.

"Principal Liu is an upright person, of course he wouldn't do such a thing."

"That young lady..."

Hope ignited in Principal Liu's wife's eyes.

Since this young lady has said so, she will definitely help me!

Unexpectedly, Xu Fei changed the subject.

She deliberately sighed, "Principal Liu has been tricked, tricked by that Yan Niannian."

"She insisted that Principal Liu had forced himself on her, and there was nothing that President Zhuo could do."

"What should we do then?!"

Upon hearing this, Principal Liu's wife burst into tears.

"The one who tied the knot must untie it. Since Principal Liu was tricked by Yan Niannian, you have to go to her. Only if she lets Principal Liu go can Principal Liu be safe!"

"You agree, don't you?"

"Yes, yes, that makes sense."

Principal Liu's wife felt a renewed sense of hope.

She wiped away her tears and let go of her.

As Principal Liu's wife turned to leave, Xu Fei "thoughtfully" reminded her.

"Hey! If you're going to find Yan Niannian, you'd better hurry up, otherwise it'll be too late once things are settled."

……

in the office.

Yan Niannian noticed the exquisite jewelry box on the table.

She went over and put the necklace back.

Then, Yan Niannian pushed the jewelry box toward Zhuo Yuchen.

"What do you mean?" Zhuo Yuchen raised an eyebrow.

"Back to you!"

"You don't want what I gave you?"

Staring at Yan Niannian, Zhuo Yuchen's voice deepened.

My emotions are complicated.

His expression seemed to be one of shock, questioning, and subtly mixed with displeasure.

Yan Niannian simply looked at him calmly.

He felt disdain.

This air of taking it all for granted...

Ah!

That's pretty ridiculous!

Does she have to accept what he gives her?

"Yan Niannian, don't forget, we're still in the cooling-off period for our marriage, we haven't gotten our divorce certificate yet."

Her eagerness to distance herself from him irritated Zhuo Yuchen so much that he frowned and subconsciously tugged at his tie.

I was incredibly annoyed.

The atmosphere immediately became tense.

In particular, Zhuo Yuchen's aura was powerful, pressing down inch by inch.

It carried a distinct sense of oppression.

Then, Zhuo Yuchen turned around and took a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table.

Stab it!

After lighting it, Zhuo Yuchen took a deep drag.

A wisp of smoke enveloped his angular face, obscuring the true emotions in his eyes.

"Yan Niannian, you should understand the importance of knowing when to stop."

"Otherwise, if this continues, how will you handle the situation?"

"Ok?"

"Steps are not always available."

Yan Niannian looked dazed for a moment.

She had been married to Zhuo Yuchen for so many years, and no matter what she did or how she tried to please him, she was always met with indifference.

What is the most terrifying thing in marriage?

They just won't respond.

Whether you are sad, angry, or hysterical, you are facing a stagnant pool of water.

An invisible feeling of suffocation lingers.

This was a feeling that Yan Niannian and her family experienced every day when they were with the Zhuo family.

That's why she was surprised at this moment.

Although Zhuo Yuchen's words were unpleasant to hear, the patience he displayed, reminiscent of an old married couple reasoning with each other, was unprecedented.

Like this necklace...

"Ha!" Thinking of this, Yan Niannian laughed self-deprecatingly, "Zhuo Yuchen, this is the first time you've given me a gift."

The voice was soft and gentle.

But when Zhuo Yuchen heard this, his heart tightened uncontrollably.

Very uncomfortable.

Frustrated, Zhuo Yuchen stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and looked at Yan Niannian.

He had to admit that he had neglected her before.

"Just take it if I give it to you, and later..."

He wanted to say that there would be more in the future, but to his surprise, Yan Niannian didn't give him that chance at all.

“But Zhuo Yuchen, this necklace has come too late.”

"I don't want it anymore."

Shrugging indifferently, Yan Niannian didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer and placed the documents in her hand on the desk.

"Zhuo Yuchen, I brought the children's information."

"Don't forget to find someone to enroll you in school."

"I'll be going now, nothing else."

After saying that, Yan Niannian turned to leave.

Zhuo Yuchen's pupils constricted sharply.

My heart felt empty.

only……

He didn't show it.

As he concealed all emotion in his eyes, he reverted to his indifferent demeanor.

“Yan Niannian, all the employees of Zhuo’s Group are busy with their own tasks. You will stay here to register for school.”

"Is this okay?"

Yan Niannian turned her head and glanced at him.

"Hmm!" Zhuo Yuchen gave her a deep look. "If you don't want to delay the children's schooling, then you should do it yourself."

"All right!"

This time, Yan Niannian did not refuse.

She chose to stay and began registering students using the computer in Zhuo Yuchen's office.

Zhuo Yuchen sat on the sofa, intently looking at the documents.

The two were some distance apart.

No one spoke; everyone was busy with their own things.

They lived in peace, a rare harmony.

only……

Zhuo Yuchen remained calm, occasionally glancing in Yan Niannian's direction.

His expression was complex and inexplicable.

I have no idea what he's thinking.

At that moment, Yan Niannian accidentally clicked on an app.

The interface popped up.

It's a split-screen view from the surveillance camera.

"Hmm?" Yan Niannian's gaze swept across the room unintentionally and she immediately saw Principal Liu's wife holding onto Xu Fei tightly.

The other person had red eyes and said something to Xu Fei.

Then, a look of hatred and scheming flashed across Xu Fei's face.

Yan Niannian narrowed her eyes.

The person Xu Fei hates the most and wants to scheme against the most right now is undoubtedly herself.

Picking up her headphones, Yan Niannian stared at the screen while listening to the audio.

Instantly, she heard everything Xu Fei said.

Ah!

So that’s it!

Yan Niannian gave a cold laugh.

Her fingertips hovered over the mouse, seemingly lost in thought, her mind racing.

Suddenly, an idea came to me.

Xu Fei wanted to harm her, and she wouldn't let it go so easily.

And Dong Yan.

She instructed Principal Liu that the children almost couldn't go to school, and that it was time to settle the score with her for that.
