After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

An hour later, Qi Muci and Qiao Ran took Qi Mu'an back to their parents' home.

Before leaving, Qi Muci called his father and asked him to come home.

Qi Muci's car and his father Qi Helian's car arrived at the same time, and they met at the door.

Qi Helian was puzzled when he saw his eldest son get out of his second son's car. He asked, "Eldest son, where's your car? Why did you come back in the second son's car?"

Qi Mu'an opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, tears welled up in his eyes.

Qi Helian was startled. "Boss, what are you doing?"

This was the first time the old man had ever seen his grown-up son cry, and he immediately panicked, asking his second son, "Second son, what's wrong with eldest son? What happened?"

Qi Muci patted his elder brother on the shoulder and said to his father, "Dad, let's go inside and talk."

The four entered the house, and Shen Qinglan ran over with a smile, saying, "I called Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandpa and Grandma on my mother's side. They all wanted to come and join in the fun when they heard you were coming back for dinner... Eldest brother, what's wrong?"

Shen Qinglan only noticed Qi Mu'an's red eyes after she finished speaking.

Qi Muci pushed his older brother toward the living room, "Mom, let's go inside and talk, everyone's here."

Once in the living room, Qi Muci asked his brother to sit down and then recounted how Xu Weiyan had rented a place and was living with Yu Mao.

The elders were shocked and furious when they heard this.

Zhou Yu trembled with anger, gritting his teeth as he said, "I knew something was wrong. She's pursuing a doctorate, and we're all in the same city, yet she insisted on moving to the university to live. Turns out, she moved in with another man. How can there be such a shameless woman!"

Xiang Wanli looked at her eldest grandson with a mixture of heartache and anger.

Xiang Wanli: "Mu An, how come it took you two years to find out? She's been living with someone else for so long, didn't you notice a single clue?"

Zhou Yu: "He must have discovered the clues a long time ago, but he loves his wife and certainly doesn't believe that someone would betray him."

"Alright, it's not his fault. He's already upset enough, so just say less," Qi Zhiheng, the old man of the Qi family, interrupted his wife and said to Qi Mu'an, "Eldest son, hurry up and divorce that woman."

Qi Muci asked Qiao Ran to take out the divorce certificate, and he handed it to the old man. "Grandpa, I went to get it done this morning. I asked my old boss for help, so I was able to get it so quickly."

Qi Zhiheng took the divorce certificate and looked through it, and everyone else crowded over to look.

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it's done. These kinds of things should be decided decisively. Boss, now that it's done, you should calm down. Grandma will introduce you to a reliable one later."

"Mom, don't be so anxious," Shen Qinglan said, pressing down on her mother-in-law and giving her a meaningful look. "Haste makes waste. Let the eldest son process this first. He's sentimental and needs time to process things, especially something like this..."

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but shed tears, feeling that her son was so handsome and capable, how could he have encountered such a thing?

She disliked Xu Weiyan from the beginning, but her son loved him, so she had no choice but to agree to their relationship.

Over the years, Xu Weiyan has taken a lot of money from her son to support her family.

Xu Weiyan's family is from the countryside, and their five-story villa is the most luxurious and beautiful in the village.

Each of the three older brothers owns a Mercedes-Benz. The eldest brother owns a fireworks factory, the second brother owns a breeding farm, and the third brother owns a restaurant in the county town.

It was all funded by Qi Mu'an.

Even so, the Xu family still asked Xu Weiyan for living expenses every month.

Shen Qinglan never said anything, but she never expected that Xu Weiyan would actually use her son's money to support another man.

How could a doctoral student who prides himself on being cultured be so shameless!

It's good that they're divorced. Getting rid of that kind of woman sooner is a good thing for their son.

Qi Mu'an didn't say a word; he got stuck in a rut.

I just can't understand why Xu Weiyan would like that poor painter.

Because Xu Weiyan had never told him that she liked painting, what he knew was that Xu Weiyan liked reading novels.

She once asked Qi Mu'an to cultivate her interest in reading novels with her.

But Qi Mu'an really had no interest in literature. He would get sleepy as soon as he started reading, and he preferred watching movies and TV series.

The images are vivid and visually impactful.

Xu Weiyan, however, said that movies and TV series simply cannot convey the beauty of words.

Qi Mu'an thought that perhaps Yu Mao also liked reading novels, and perhaps Xu Weiyan felt that she had more in common with Yu Mao.

Last night, when he rushed in and beat Yu Mao, Xu Weiyan stood in front of Yu Mao and even called the police to arrest him.

At that time, Qi Mu'an knew that his relationship with Xu Weiyan was over.

Qi Mu'an didn't want to go back to the apartment he and Xu Weiyan had married, so he asked his secretary to find a real estate agent to put it up for sale.

He then ordered Qi Muci's butler to take people to pack up all his belongings and deliver them to Qi Muci's place, where he stayed in the guest room.

On the same day that she completed the divorce proceedings, Xu Weiyan went back to pack her things and moved in with Yu Mao openly.

But after she moved in, she found Yu Mao with a dark expression.

"What are you doing? Why do you have such a long face?" Xu Weiyan asked while tidying up her things. She was very happy. "Today is the day I was reborn. Yu Mao, aren't you happy for me?"

"From now on, we can be together openly and honestly, and we don't have to be afraid of others finding out anymore."

Yu Mao was very annoyed and asked Xu Weiyan, "How much money do you have left in your card?"

Xu Weiyan thought for a moment and replied, "Qi Mu'an transferred 50,000 to me last time. I've spent more than 10,000 in this period, so I still have more than 30,000. Adding the 20,000 from that red envelope the other day, that makes more than 50,000."

Yu Mao: "More than 50,000. We haven't paid the rent for the next quarter yet. It's 6,000 a month, so it's 18,000 for three months."

Xu Weiyan: "I know, so I'll use the 20,000 yuan from the red envelope to pay the rent later."

Yu Mao: "Then, I only have a little over 30,000 left. I need to buy some painting supplies these next few days, which will probably cost several thousand yuan."

Xu Weiyan: "Didn't you just buy several thousand yuan worth of stuff a while ago? You've used it all up so quickly?"

Yu Mao was displeased. "What do you know? I'm already saving money. Go ask other painters, which one of them doesn't burn tens of thousands of yuan every month?"

Xu Weiyan patiently said, "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. Just tell me when you need money."

Yu Mao: "You didn't understand what I meant. You'll run out of money sooner or later. What will we do then?"

Xu Weiyan hadn't really thought that far ahead; she was only thinking that after the divorce, she could be with Yu Mao openly and legitimately.

As long as she was with him, she was willing to eat pickled vegetables for every meal, or go up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables.

Xu Weiyan: "Then let's be more frugal with our spending from now on."

Yu Mao raised his voice: "How can we save money? We can't save on rent, and we can't save on the things I need for painting. Besides, what if your family needs money again?"

"If you don't have the money to give them, your parents will definitely ask why. How do you plan to tell them about the divorce?"

Xu Weiyan had completely forgotten about this matter; her parents would ask her for money every month.

Xu Weiyan thought for a moment, "After I finish packing my things, I'll call my mom and tell her that I'm divorced and I won't give any money to my family anymore. They won't force me to my death, will they?"
