My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 803 - : 803, a chill gradually rose in the man’s dark eyes.

Chapter 803: 803, a chill gradually rose in the man’s dark eyes.

The living room was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

The main male and female characters of the incident just stood facing each other, with torn white papers scattered all over the carpeted floor around them.

Their eyes met, but they were clearly in confrontation, as tense as drawn swords.

Both were very attractive.

Xiao Yebai was refined and neatly dressed, with thin-framed glasses that lent him a rather aloof demeanor.

Meanwhile, Mo Weiyi, dressed in a red dress and elaborately made up, had a smile on her face. However, her eyes and brows also clearly conveyed a sense of cold haughtiness.

...

If it weren’t for knowing these two, Su Wanwan almost thought she was watching a high-profile idol romance drama.

“Why aren’t you talking?” Mo Weiyi spoke again, breaking the silence. She lowered her eyes, glancing at the scattered white papers around, “Do you need another copy to look at?”

His pupils suddenly contracted.

A coldness gradually appeared in the depths of the man’s dark eyes.

Even separated by his glasses, it couldn’t hide the clear shift in his emotions.

“Weiyi.” Su Wanwan hastily stepped forward.

She whispered persuasively, “This kind of thing should be discussed privately with President Xiao, there’s no need to…”

“There’s nothing to discuss.” Mo Weiyi chuckled, lips curving up, “Doesn’t he like to perform for everyone? Since so many friends are here today, I might as well make an announcement to clear any misconceptions that we are a loving couple.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

“Aunt Zhou,” Xiao Yebai’s thin lips parted, his voice low, clearly suppressing his emotions, “please take Weiyi upstairs to rest for a while.”

Aunt Zhou hesitated.

Everyone else also: “…”

Zhan Yao tried to persuade, “Yebai, don’t be like this, there are so many friends here…”

“Then let it be a bit subtle.” Xiao Yebai’s tone was gentle, yet clearly forceful and cold, “Weiyi and I have some private matters to discuss, so today’s gathering ends here.”

“Is it about the divorce terms?” Mo Weiyi provocatively laughed, “No need to bring it up privately, right now my master is here, you can just speak directly, he can help us mediate.”

Lu Chenyu only felt darkness before his eyes.

The rest of the people were also: “…”

Xiao Yebai then let out a low laugh.

Mocking and playful.

These past few days she had been docile and polite, almost making him forget the ruthlessness in her bones.

After all, she could offer her husband to another woman without batting an eye… She is the Mo Family’s Little Princess, raised high and uncontrolled since childhood, so what does it matter if she humiliates him publicly today in front of so many familiar faces?

“Yebai, don’t be impulsive.” Zhan Yao tried to calm his friend, “The Little Princess is probably just angry, don’t take it too seriously…”

Chu Xiuhuang, who wasn’t afraid of stirring trouble, asked, “Little Princess, do you really want a divorce?”

Mo Weiyi retorted, “Do I look like I’m joking?”

Chu Xiuhuang looked to his good friend, “No wonder you asked Old Fourth to come over.” So he was here to mediate the divorce.

Lu Chenyu: “…”

Thanks a lot, my good brother!

Always bringing up the worst possible topic!

Sure enough, Xiao Yebai’s gaze drifted over to him.

His expression was no longer as calm as before, and the chill in his eyes was unmistakable.

He said, “Are there no cases coming into Yurui Law Firm lately?”

Implying that even a small divorce case like Mo Weiyi’s was being accepted.

Lu Chenyu: “…”

He was about to explain.

But…

Forget it.

Even if he explained, they’d probably think he was making excuses.

God knew that initially Mo Weiyi mentioned drafting a divorce agreement but only mentioned the reasons for the divorce without specifying who the two people were. He had only found out about their identity today…

But with things having come to this, there was no use saying more.

He could only laugh mockingly twice, then shift his gaze away, hoping to reduce his own presence.

You can’t see me, you can’t see me, you can’t see me…

Fortunately, Xiao Yebai quickly took his gaze back, his eyes once again as cold and gloomy as they landed on Mo Weiyi’s face, “I remember I’ve told you many times, I don’t want to hear the word ‘divorce’ from you again.”

“Sure,” Mo Weiyi tilted his face, smiling brilliantly without any dread of taking a whip from the tiger’s mouth, “Once you sign the papers and we divorce, you will never hear these words again.”

“Mo Weiyi.” Xiao Yebai lowered his voicea voice so deep it seemed to come from beneath the ground. “Do you really want to divorce me that much?”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s try,” Xiao Yebai said slowly. “Let’s see which law firm in Nancheng dares to take your case.”

The meaning behind those words was clear.

Not to mention that Lu Chenyu, the head of the largest law firm in Nancheng, was present right there…

Lu Chenyu, who already wished he could disappear on the spot, just got openly threatened!

Blatantly, with no attempt to hide it!

A few gazes had already fallen on him.

All Lu Chenyu did was to cough twice, then he raised his head, looked at Xiao Yebai with undeniable sincerity, and stated, “Actually, I wasn’t planning on taking this case in the first place.”

Mo Weiyi’s originally proud and arrogant face slightly changed.

Switching sides at the last minute, how can this be?

The expressions of the others instantly varied.

“It’s getting late, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first,” Lu Chenyu spoke again, feeling no remorse about his act of betrayal.

After speaking, he nodded to everyone and turned to leave.

Su Wanwan frowned in anger, unable to refrain from speaking up for her friend, “Damn, you’re really just walking away? Are you even a man? Such a coward!”

Lu Chenyu didn’t turn back.

As long as I walk fast enough, I won’t hear all the curses…

Gu Pingting was also astounded.

This Attorney Lu, not only frail but also terribly spineless! Clearly not a man at all!

“Young Master Four, wait for me.” Chu Xiuhuang rose too, saying, “Together.”

If this had been in the past, he might have gotten involved in such a heated situation…

But times had changed, ever since he got married, he had completely turned over a new leaf, showing more interest toward his wife and child.

Shi Huan reluctantly rose with her husband. As they passed Mo Weiyi, she asked worriedly, “Weiyi, are you alright?”

She wasn’t quite clear on the specifics.

She always felt… how could such a seemingly perfect couple get to the point of divorce?

Not to mention, wasn’t Mo Weiyi pregnant?

Could this be too impulsive?

“I’m fine.” Mo Weiyi smiled faintly, “Huanhuan, sorry I couldn’t host you all well today.”

“It’s okay, I actually just came to see you.”

Who knew such a thing would happen.

“Then come and see me again some other day,” Mo Weiyi, still unfazed, smiled nonchalantly, “Maybe by then, I will have returned to being single.”

Shi Huan: “…”

“Aunt Zhou, take Weiyi upstairs.” Xiao Yebai’s voice suddenly rang out again.

It was cold.

Forceful.

Carrying an unquestionable meaning.

As soon as Su Wanwan heard this, she panicked and rushed over to stand in front of Mo Weiyi, “What exactly do you want to do? Why should Weiyi go upstairs? I’m telling you, if you have something to say, say it here!”

Zhan Yao also walked over, grabbed Xiao Yebai’s arm, and urged, “Yebai, I think you need to calm down.”

His grip was strong, “Don’t forget, the little princess is still pregnant, and she’s carrying your child!”

Xiao Yebai hooked his lips, his smile more mocking than genuine, “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I almost really did forget.”

If it weren’t for the pregnancy, she wouldn’t be so brazen, and he wouldn’t keep tolerating her like this.

Zhan Yao tightly held the man’s arm, as if afraid he might rush out and do something reckless.

But.

How could that be.

The chilling, startling aura slowly faded.

Then, Xiao Yebai said, “Sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

Zhan Yao was stunned, but ultimately, he was still worried and hastily picked up the car keys and chased after him.

Gu Pingting hadn’t even reacted yet.

By the time she realized he had gone, she hurriedly got up, “Miss Mo, then… I should go too.”

Mo Weiyi nodded, “Wanwan, you go back first.”

Su Wanwan was worried about her, “I’m afraid Mr. Xiao will come back and bully you. No! I have to stay here with you!”

Mo Weiyi laughed, “You forgot, I’m pregnant now.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

That’s true.

Now that Mo Weiyi was pregnant, Xiao Yebai, no matter how angry, would not likely lift a hand against a pregnant woman.

Even though he looked really angry just now.

But Su Wanwan was still a bit worried, “Weiyi, if Mr. Xiao comes back later, you better not confront him face to face again. If he really gets provoked and strikes, you are not his match, and…”

Su Wanwan carefully said, “I think some of the things you said just now were a bit too much.”

Even though it was agreed to deliberately anger Xiao Yebai, the things Mo Weiyi said just now were really quite hurtful.

Ever since they were young, whenever someone spoke ill of Xiao Yebai, Mo Weiyi was always the first to jump out to defend him—as if she were a female warrior, arguing and fighting with those people, even ending up in the police station at times…

But now, she was saying she could do without this man, publicly humiliating him, and speaking such hurtful words…

Once a woman truly hardens her heart, men really don’t stand a chance, Su Wanwan suddenly found herself feeling a bit sympathetic towards Xiao Yebai…

“Really?” Mo Weiyi looked at her friend.

Su Wanwan nodded.

Mo Weiyi smiled, “Isn’t that perfect then, my goal has been achieved.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

“You see, he has already stormed off, probably thinking I’m utterly unreasonable. Maintaining this marriage is probably pointless to him now.” Mo Weiyi said while smiling.

She seemed genuinely happy.

“But it’s getting late, everyone else has gone.” Mo Weiyi started shooing her away, “Wanwan, you should head back, don’t keep Mr. Huo waiting.”

Su Wanwan glanced at the coffee table.

The array of afternoon tea on it had hardly been touched…

She withdrew her gaze and carefully observed Mo Weiyi’s face, “Are you really okay?”

“I’m fine,” Mo Weiyi answered with a smile.

“Then I’ll go back first, call me anytime if you need anything, and remember what I said, never directly confront Xiao Yebai.”

“I know,” Mo Weiyi continued to smile.

…

Thus, the gathering ended on a sour note.

Su Wanwan walked out to the garage and noticed Shi Huan’s car still waiting by the curb, the one in front… seemed to be Lu Chenyu’s vintage car.

“Huanhuan, where is President Xiao?”

“They’ve all left.”

Su Wanwan then asked, “What about Haohao?”

Shi Huan looked up, signaling, “He’s talking with Lawyer Lu in the car.”

“You just let Haohao get into Lawyer Lu’s car like that?” Su Wanwan exclaimed.

Shi Huan blinked, “What’s wrong?”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Furious at the lack of competitive spirit!

This Lu Chenyu is your love rival after all!

How could you not be worried at all?

She reminded, “Don’t you know the rumors about those two from before?”

The whole world knows that Chu Xiuhuang and Lu Chenyu used to be best buddies!

They even had a ‘Royal City CP’ nickname on Weibo, with Chu Xiuhuang’s fans numbering tens of millions, many of whom are shippers of their partnership, still not giving up despite both parties announcing marriages and having kids, keeping the topic super hot on Weibo.

As Chu Xiuhuang’s secretary, could Shi Huan not know?

“Those were just for fun,” Shi Huan replied nonchalantly.

Su Wanwan nodded, “I trust Haohao’s character too, but… you really need to be careful with Lawyer Lu!”

Chu Xiuhuang’s actions when Shi Huan was hospitalized had completely changed her perspective and proven his genuine love for Shi Huan.

But Lu Chenyu couldn’t be guaranteed, Huo Jingshen had previously mentioned that he seemed to like men, appearing fragile and meek, seeming deeply troubled upon meeting today, obviously emotionally scarred and physically haggard…

Meanwhile, in the vintage car.

After Chu Xiuhuang got into the car, Lu Chenyu looked at him displeased.

Chu Xiuhuang swiftly lit a cigarette, taking a deep and enjoyable drag, “That hits the spot!”

That made Lu Chenyu even more annoyed, “Are you quitting smoking?”

“Not really,” Chu Xiuhuang exhaled a ring of smoke, “but now that we have a child, I can’t keep exposing her to second-hand smoke, also Huanhuan doesn’t like the smell.”

“…” Lu Chenyu clenched the steering wheel and after a long pause, squeezed out two words, “Too much!”

Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Chenyu countered, “What did you come here for today?”

“To accompany my wife,” Chu Xiuhuang said frankly, and then…

“Axui, you’ve changed.”

Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes.

“You’re no longer the young man you used to be.”

“For fuck’s sake, can you talk like a normal person!”

Lu Chenyu had no choice but to speak solemnly, “You used to say that women shouldn’t be spoiled too much.”

Chu Xiuhuang: “…”

“But now,” Lu Chenyu shook his head, “you need to report to your wife before getting on my car, and you only dare to get in once she agrees.”

“Shut the hell up!” Chu Xiuhuang snatched off his cigarette, exhaling a perfect ring of smoke, “Do you think a forever-single dog like you needs to teach me how to treat my wife?”

Lu Chenyu: “…”

Forget it.

Ignore a lawyer’s advice, suffer for it right away.

Who knew Chu Xiuhuang had more to say, “My wife, what’s wrong with me as a husband wanting to spoil her?”

Lu Chenyu chuckled, “Just like big brother.”

“What’s with big brother?”

“He’s totally whipped by sister-in-law.”

Chu Xiuhuang looked at him.

He stared for a full two seconds before patting Lu Chenyu on the shoulder, “Little bro, as a brother, let me give you a piece of advice.”

Lu Chenyu raised an eyebrow, “…”

All ears.

Chu Xiuhuang said, “The sea of celibacy is boundless, turning back is the shore. Have a proper relationship, don’t worry your uncle and aunt too much.”

Lu Chenyu’s face darkened.

And that wasn’t all.

“Plus, I quite like my wife being in charge,” said Chu Xiuhuang, suddenly smirking roguishly, “As long as my wife agrees, not just riding me, I’m up for any position.”

Lu Chenyu: “…”

His face was already dark, but at this remark, his ears suddenly turned red.

“Get out of the car,” he said, then turned his head.

Chu Xiuhuang wasn’t upset.

His thin lips wickedly breathed out another smoke ring, then leisurely snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, “Think about what I said, if you want to date, I’ll set you up.”

“Get lost!” Lu Chenyu gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Chu Xiuhuang got out of the car, laughing loudly.

As Lu Chenyu’s car roared away, he suddenly remembered what he had wanted to talk about.

A honk sounded from the Porsche Cayenne behind him.

Chu Xiuhuang snapped back to reality and hurriedly stepped over.

Opening the car door, he grinned mischievously, “Wife, why the rush…”

“Why didn’t you pick up when mom called?” Shi Huan interrupted him.

Her face anxious, Chu Xiuhuang immediately turned serious, “What happened?”

Shi Huan started the car and handed over her phone, “I just saw on WeChat, mom sent me several messages, I had my phone on silent and didn’t see them…”

Chu Xiuhuang grabbed the phone, glanced briefly at the messages, then immediately made a call.

After ringing for a while, it was finally answered, and his mother’s haughty voice came through, “Shi Huan, I’m telling you, you have 10 minutes to get back home, or else I’ll…”

“Or else what?”

Chu Xiuhuang’s nonchalant voice made Madam Chu instantly fall silent.

“Mom, is this how you talk to my wife behind my back?” Chu Xiuhuang said sternly, “And what about Luoluo? You know, she’s your own granddaughter!”

Madam Chu’s voice trembled with rage, “In your eyes, is your mom the villain? No matter how much I dislike Shi Huan, would I lay a hand on a five-year-old child?”

“You better not have.” Chu Xiuhuang’s tone was impatient, “We’ll be home in half an hour, I don’t expect you to pamper Luoluo, but you better not make her cry.”

With that, he swiftly hung up the call.

…

Chu Family mansion.

On the second floor bedroom, Little Luoluo was still sitting on the big bed, crying endlessly.

She was wearing a soft floral pajama set. Because she had been sleeping, her twin braids had become askew. Waking up to find neither her mom nor her dad, nor even the only familiar great-grandfather in the villa around, there was only the usual stern-faced unfamiliar grandmother…

Mrs. Chu put down her phone, and as soon as she stepped out of the bedroom, she heard the wailing crying in the hallway.

Her heart felt annoyed and irritable because of the crying.

How could this child cry so much?

She pushed the door open and walked over to the bed, “Stop crying.”

Little Luoluo was startled by this stern voice. She looked up at the stern-faced woman in blue cheongsam, quieted down for just a few seconds, then opened her mouth wide and began crying even harder than before.

Mrs. Chu: “…”

Headache!

The child’s eyes and nose were all swollen from crying, her face was red too, and the tears were flooding out like a dam had burst, her crying sounded like a pig’s squealing!

Mrs. Chu was born into a wealthy family. She grew up pampered, and her husband treated her with utmost respect when he was alive. They were from a family of scholars and spent their days in elegance, discussing literature and living a noble life away from worldly concerns.

After giving birth to the twins, Chu Jingyi and Chu Xiuhuang, she had never taken care of the children personally, always leaving it to the nannies and the elders.

She never had the experience of taking care of children and didn’t know how to soothe a crying child.

Thinking of what Chu Xiuhuang had said over the phone, she braced herself and asked, “Can you stop crying?”

It seemed Little Luoluo understood, as she hiccuped and said, “I… I… I’m hungry…”

She was hungry?

Was that worth crying over like this?

Mrs. Chu said, “Then stop crying, or you won’t get anything to eat.”

Little Luoluo hurriedly wiped her tears, but because she was crying so much, and there were too many tears, she kept wiping, her little hands all damp with tears…

Mrs. Chu sighed with relief.

Finally, she couldn’t hear that annoying cry anymore.

She turned and said, “Let’s go.”

There should be some snacks downstairs, if not, they should check Xiaoye’s room…

Unexpectedly, Little Luoluo’s voice came from behind, “Shoes…”

Mrs. Chu turned back around.

Little Luoluo was sitting on the big bed, her little feet swinging back and forth.

She was wearing the princess shoes bought by Chu Xiuhuang; they were complicated, and a five-year-old baby couldn’t manage them.

Mrs. Chu, suppressing her irritation, walked over and put the shoes on her.

She couldn’t stop complaining internally, what was the point of buying such complicated shoes for a five-year-old? So inconvenient…

Having finally put on the shoes, she heard Little Luoluo say in a soft, sweet voice, “Thank you, Grandma.”

Mrs. Chu: “…”

Keeping her face expressionless, she rose to her feet and walked towards the staircase, passing through the hallway.

She had just stepped down a few steps when she heard Little Luoluo call again, “Grandma.”

Mrs. Chu turned around and saw the little girl standing at the top of the steps, stretching out a small hand. Her swollen eyes appeared both scared and yearning as she looked at her, “Grandma, hold my hand.”

Seeing that Grandma didn’t move, Little Luoluo waved her little hand, “Grandma, hold hands.”

Mrs. Chu felt extremely awkward.

She moved her fingers slightly and finally stretched out her hand.

The soft little hand immediately grasped hers.

It was still wet with tears, damp and soft…

Suppressing the urge to let go, Mrs. Chu held onto her little hand and led the child downstairs.

With the help of an adult, going down the stairs was indeed steadier and faster, and it was only when they reached the ground floor that Little Luoluo let go of her fingers.

It was just…

Old Master Chu had just been called to the hospital by a phone call, and the servant had gone with him to take care of him. There were no third persons in the entire villa now, and there were no snacks in the living room…

Little Luoluo had found a packet of biscuits after some searching, but shook her head, “I don’t want to eat this.”

Mrs. Chu looked at the time, “Your mom will be back soon…”

“I want to eat KFC!” Little Luoluo yelled.

Seeing Mrs. Chu’s serious face, unwilling to agree.

“Luoluo wants to eat KFC.” Little Luoluo pouted, on the verge of crying tears of gold again…

**

Across the street from the gate of the military compound was a KFC.

But Mrs. Chu never went there on regular days.

Yet now, to stop her granddaughter’s tears, she had to take her there.

During ordering, she was somewhat unpracticed and didn’t know what to order, but fortunately, Little Luoluo, clearly a regular customer of KFC, skillfully pointed at the children’s meal with her small finger and called out in a milky voice, “Grandma, I want to eat this meal.”

The waitress, a young girl, couldn’t help but smile and compliment, “Your daughter is so cute!”

Although dressed in wrinkled clothes… looking like pajamas, with braids all askew, seeming like she had just cried…

But the little girl obviously looked like a pretty little beauty in the making, bearing a strong resemblance to this lady.

“No no.” Upon hearing her words, Little Luoluo swung her little hand and explained clearly, “She is Luoluo’s grandma.”

“…” The waitress was surprised and looked at Mrs. Chu, “I’m so sorry, you look so young, I thought… I’m sorry.”

**

Chu Xiuhuang walked into KFC with Shi Huan and immediately saw his mother, wearing an elegant custom-made cheongsam, her makeup exquisite, her hair done up meticulously, seated on a red chair watching her granddaughter eat fries.

The expression on her face was still obviously disdainful.

“Mom.” Chu Xiuhuang approached her.

Mrs. Chu lifted her face and sternly stood up.

Although she was nearly fifty years old, she was well-preserved, and perhaps due to her habitual seriousness, her face was pale and flawless, without a single wrinkle, appearing particularly arrogant when expressionless.

Shi Huan nodded at her and was just about to pick up a napkin to wipe Luoluo’s mouth…

“Leaving such a small child alone at home, the two of you really have big hearts. Is this how you are parents on normal days?” Mrs. Chu questioned them.

Chu Xiuhuang explained, “I had told Grandfather, but who knew something suddenly came up.”

“Then why didn’t you answer your phone?”

“I forgot to bring my cell phone.”

“What was so urgent that you even forgot your cell phone when you left the house?”

Chu Xiuhuang directly pulled Shi Huan to sit down, “Mom, I am in a good mood right now.”

Mrs. Chu: “…”

So what?

“So I advise you to leave early.”

Mrs. Chu again: “…”

Actually, even if Chu Xiuhuang didn’t say it, she knew he must have taken Shi Huan out on a secret date again.

This son of hers had been a rebel since he was sensible. She used to discipline him, but ever since her husband died suddenly in a car accident, she had been trapped in the shadow of losing her husband for many years and could not come out of it, and the distance between her and her son seemed to be growing ever wider.

By the time she finally realized the problem and wanted to get along well with him again, it was already too late.

Especially not long ago, he had completely disregarded her opposition and got married, and to the secretary she disapproved of the most…

Mrs. Chu’s fingers gripping her purse slowly tightened, “Give the child less junk food in the future.”

Chu Xiuhuang did not respond.

Shi Huan could only say, “No, Luoluo just eats it occasionally.”

Mrs. Chu took a deep breath, as if exercising extreme patience, “I’m leaving.”

After speaking, she turned and left.

Shi Huan watched her rigid back, a slight smile curling at the corners of her mouth.

This mother-in-law, aside from having a bit of a bad temper and always speaking in a condescending tone, didn’t really bother Shi Huan too much.

She didn’t find her too difficult to get along with.

After all, coming from a prestigious background, being an undeniable beauty herself, and having given birth to Chu Jingyi and Chu Xiuhuang, a pair of twins with outstanding looks… It was normal for her to think highly of herself.

“Luoluo, did grandma bully you just now?”

Shi Huan came to her senses and quickly pulled Chu Xiuhuang’s arm, “Don’t talk like that.”

But Little Luoluo shook her little head, “No.”

“Don’t be afraid, speak out if you feel wronged, daddy is here to support you,” Chu Xiuhuang said tenderly, looking at his precious daughter.

What is she wearing to eat at KFC?

Pajamas?

Couldn’t someone have changed her into a pretty little dress?

And her hair is such a mess too, not brushed, her eyes and nose all swollen from crying…

She looks just like a little beggar, it’s too pitiful!

Little Luoluo replied sweetly, “Grandma helped me put on my shoes and brought me here to eat at KFC.”

Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows.

It was indeed a bit surprising.

Because he remembered that when he was little, every time he wanted to eat at KFC or McDonald’s, he would get lectured by his mother…

“Luoluo, did grandma secretly pinch you… Ouch!”

Before he could finish, Chu Xiuhuang was pinched by his own wife.

Shi Huan seriously said, “Can you not mislead the child like that?”

A concubine, maybe?

Secretly pinching the child?

Besides, this mother-in-law has always worn her preferences on her face, not hiding them. Instead, she’s often scolded by Chu Xiuhuang or Old Master Chu for her stern looks…

She didn’t seem like the sinister and evil mother-in-law from the TV dramas.

Shi Huan still had that much trust in her.

…

Meanwhile, the family of three was enjoying their time together, while Lu Chenyu had just driven home when he received a call from Assistant Lao Wang.

“Lawyer Lu, what happened, why does the Mo Family want to terminate the contract with us?”

Lu Chenyu: “…”

“Could it be because Miss Mo resigned, Director Xiao won’t work with us anymore?” Lao Wang was puzzled, “But isn’t that too sudden? I just took the kids to their tutoring class, and on a big weekend like this, to suddenly call me, it’s outrageous!”

Lu Chenyu continued: “…”

“This is the first time our law firm has been proposed a contract termination by a client, in all these years, hasn’t every company enjoyed a pleasant cooperation and mutual success with us?” Lao Wang was quite upset, “It’s simply outrageous, if this gets out, our law firm’s reputation will be ruined, people might think we did something horrendous! Okay, I’ve decided to tell Miss Mo, one must not be so fickle…”

“No need,” Lu Chenyu finally spoke, “It was my request to terminate.”

“What?” Lao Wang was stunned, “Lawyer Lu, why would you request to terminate…”

“There’s no reason,” Lu Chenyu said, “Mutually terminated.”

Lao Wang: “…”

Alright, no more to say.
