"What do you have to say here?" Su Chenxi asked, looking up.

What were you saying to my grandma just now?

"I..." Su Chenxi choked. She had only wanted to talk to Grandma Shen about this matter, and was not mentally prepared to talk to him.

"You want to divorce me now so I can marry Jiang Yao?" Shen Yanchuan heard it clearly.

Su Chenxi pursed her red lips. This guy had already heard everything, so why was he still asking her?

“The person who saved your grandmother back then was the old lady of the Jiang family. Now that I’m married to you, I’m enjoying the Jiang family’s kindness, which makes me feel guilty. I want to return the position of the second young mistress of the Shen family to Jiang Yao. She is the one your Shen family should repay your kindness to,” Su Chenxi said, lowering her eyes.

Since we've already brought it up, why not discuss it openly?

Shen Yanchuan irritably loosened his tie, staring at her with eyes as cold as stars, his handsome face flushed with anger. "The right to divorce is in my hands. You have no right to bring it up."

This statement is harsh, oppressive, and disrespectful.

Su Chenxi's pretty face flushed red, and she bit her lip, saying, "Okay, then I'll wait a year, and we'll get a divorce according to the agreement after a year."

After saying that, she turned and left, giving the man no further chance to refuse.

Shen Yanchuan loosened his tie again, silently watching the girl leave. Usually calm and collected, his emotions were stirred up by the girl's words, creating a turbulent and unsettling situation.

He narrowed his eyes. What exactly happened in the Jiang family that made her so determined to divorce him now?

Shen Yanchuan took out his phone.

"Hey! Good morning, Second Young Master!"

"Immediately send someone to investigate the Jiang family. I need to know what happened to them."

"Do you mean to investigate Jiang Liguo?"

"Yes! We need to investigate them all." Shen Yanchuan gritted his teeth.

Although the Jiang family saved Grandma's life, the Jiang family's current development is not due to Jiang Liguo's ability, but rather because Grandma used her influence to secretly clear many obstacles for him. Many projects were opened up for him by the Shen family. If we're talking about repaying the debt of gratitude, it started as early as ten years ago.

Now, Jiang Liguo regrets not marrying his daughter to him and resents Su Chenxi for taking up his daughter's marriage quota. But just two months ago, it was he who looked down on him, a man with a limp.

As Shen Yanchuan stepped toward the living room, he heard the sound of a car coming from the garage. Through the car window, he saw Su Chenxi drive out alone.

Shen Yanchuan's face darkened with anger. Was this girl planning to ignore him?

Su Chenxi drove out, but instead of going to the company, she went back to the Jiang residence.

At 9:30, she parked her car outside the Jiang residence and rang the doorbell. A maid came forward to open the door for her. "Miss Su, you've arrived."

Is my mom home?

"Madam is here."

"What about my Uncle Jiang?"

The maid whispered, "Master hasn't returned since he went out last night!"

Su Chenxi felt sorry for her mother. She stepped into the living room. On the sofa, Su Meifen was lost in thought, looking restless. When she looked up and saw her eldest daughter return, she immediately smiled and said, "Chenxi, what brings you here?"

"Mom, I'm free these days, how about I go out with you for a walk?" Su Chenxi said.

Su Meifen was also feeling down today. She hadn't gone shopping with her eldest daughter in a long time. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's go! Let's go shopping with Mom."

Su Chenxi led her to the largest shopping mall and into a clothing store. Su Meifen looked at the price tags on the clothes. She used to be able to afford these, but last night Jiang Liguo wanted to cut off her allowance, so she didn't dare to buy these clothes at all.

"This dress is too expensive. Let's go check out some cheaper ones!" Su Meifen said.

Su Chenxi had received compensation from the media last time, and she pulled her mother aside and said, "Mom, whichever item you like, I'll pay for it."

"It costs several thousand a year, which is too expensive."

Su Chenxi looked at her mother with heartache. It seemed that her life in the Jiang family was really not easy. She reached out and took her arm, saying, "Mom, is Uncle Jiang treating you well?"

Su Meifen feigned happiness, patted her hand, and said, "Don't worry! He's always been very good to Mom."

Seeing her mother feign happiness, Su Chenxi felt even more heartbroken. She didn't even mention the slap she received last night.

Su Chenxi saw her mother holding a coat, the style of which suited her perfectly. While her mother was still picking out other clothes, Su Chenxi secretly bought it for her.

"You silly child, don't waste money. Don't develop a habit of spending money recklessly." Su Meifen scolded him, but she was secretly very happy.

I stayed with my mother until the end of lunch before taking her home, and I even bought her a few bouquets of flowers so she could arrange them if she got bored.

"You had a great day. Go and get back to work! You're a daughter-in-law of the Shen family now, you can't be lazy," Su Meifen said to her.

When Su Chenxi went out, she ran into Jiang Yao driving home. Jiang Yao had gone to a bar to drown her sorrows last night and had been sleeping in a hotel until now before going home.

"Su Chenxi? What are you doing at my house?" Jiang Yao stared at her with resentment.

"I came to keep Mom company."

Jiang Yao scoffed, "If you were truly filial, you would know what to do instead of just going through the motions."

Su Chenxi took a deep breath. "I want to see your dad. Do you want to come with me? I have something to tell him."

Jiang Yao was taken aback. "About what?"

"Regarding my divorce from Shen Yanchuan," Su Chenxi said.

Jiang Yao's eyes lit up with joy. "Really? Okay, then I'll go with you to see my dad."

The Jiang Group almost went bankrupt after the stock market crash, but with the help of the Shen Group, it has recovered. Jiang Liguo was chatting with his subordinates in his office when Jiang Yao walked in quickly. "Dad, we have something to talk to you about."

Jiang Liguo glanced at Su Chenxi following behind him, paused, and a flash of annoyance crossed his eyes. "Whatever you have to say, let's talk at home. What are you doing here?"

Several of her subordinates tactfully left, and Su Chenxi sat upright opposite Jiang Liguo. She calmly called out, "Uncle Jiang, there's something I want to tell you."

Jiang Yao waited expectantly, for what Su Chenxi was about to say was incredibly good news for her.

"Speak!" Jiang Liguo didn't even glance at her with disdain.

“Shen Yanchuan and I are not a real couple. When I married him, we signed a divorce agreement. Our marriage was valid for one year, and I could get a divorce at any time after that,” Su Chenxi said calmly.

Jiang Liguo's gaze swept over them sharply, and he asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Jiang Yao looked at Su Chenxi with surprise and delight, "You're not lying to us, are you!"

Su Chenxi opened her phone and sent the divorce contract she had photographed the night before. "You can see, we all signed it."

Jiang Yao zoomed in on the signature section and said to her father, "Dad, it's true, Shen Yanchuan signed it."
