Let’s Get a Divorce

"Ling Youyou?"

"That's right, Ling Youyou. Look at her. In the past, she only managed to get a little better because of Xu Yi's popularity. To be the main character, she still doesn't have enough. However, this year, her resources have suddenly improved."

Someone asked in a low voice, "Who did she hook up with? How dare she fight with Xu Yi openly?"

The person from earlier smiled ambiguously again. "The second master of the Lu Family in Hong Kong, Lu Shen! I don't need to say more about the status and wealth of the Lu Family, right?"

"Really? Awesome! Doesn't the Second Master of the Lu Family hate female celebrities the most?" The others exclaimed in low voices.

The person continued, "The Lu Group has set up a new headquarters in the capital. Lu Shen is already stationed in the capital. I have a friend who works as an entertainment reporter. A while ago, he took pictures of the two of them having dinner together at the low-key and luxurious Jiangnan Clubhouse... However, my friend is afraid of the Lu Family, so he doesn't dare to publish this news."

"With that kind of backing, it would be strange if Ling Youyou didn't crush Xu Yi to death in the future."

The few of them clicked their tongues as they walked further and further away.

On the other side, Xu Yi took a step back. Her back was pressed against the wall, and she was expressionless.

Luo Wei and Zheng Siyi were both dumbfounded. If not for Luo Wei stopping them earlier, Zheng Siyi would have rushed out and scratched those chatterboxes to death.

Xu Yi was still silent. She remembered that ever since she had interacted with Lu Shen, they had never had dinner together. The two of them mostly communicated on the bed.

After Zheng Siyi was held back by Luo Wei, she also stopped and quietly observed Xu Yi's reaction.

Xu Yi leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. There were obvious fluctuations in her chest.

"Let's go," she opened her eyes and said softly.

Actually, Xu Yi did not mind who Lu Shen would have dinner with. He had work and social engagements. She understood. She did not mind that there were young and beautiful women around Lu Shen. In the end, the two of them did not have any feelings for each other. However, when that person was Ling Youyou, it was different.

Lu Shen no longer paid attention to the entertainment industry, but she was his wife. As long as he paid any attention to her recent movements, he should know about the relationship between her and Ling Youyou, right?

The circumstances that led to their marriage were ridiculous. It was only after they got married that they realized their identities, backgrounds, and occupations were almost on opposite sides. However, in these past few years, no one had taken the initiative to suggest that they wanted to end this relationship. Therefore, this relationship was still valid!

She was Lu Shen's wife, so there were some things that he absolutely can not do! This was just a clear slap to her face, right?

Xu Yi returned to the hotel.

Luo Wei spoke to a few media industry friends on WuChat. The answer was that Ling Youyou had recently been photographed having a meal with the second son of the Lu Family, Lu Shen. As everyone was afraid of the Lu Family, they did not post it.

However, the media industry basically already knew about this news. Everyone understood.

"Lu Shen has always hated that stepmother of his. He would never marry a female celebrity. He was just fooling around with Ling Youyou. It's normal for men to love sex. Maybe he already slept with Ling Youyou. Should Xu Yi be worried?"

When Luo Wei heard the reply from her friends, she quickly covered her phone. Unfortunately, Xu Yi already heard it.

Luo Wei hurriedly said, "Don't listen to these people's nonsense. They don't know anything!"

Xu Yi did not say anything. Her mind was filled with the words 'It's impossible for Lu Shen to marry a female celebrity' and 'Lu Shen is just fooling around with her. It's normal for men to love sex..."

Xu Yi smiled. Indeed, lustful was very normal.

Why did she put herself through such misery? Why did she need to worry every day? Every day, she was afraid that her family would find out that she and Lu Shen were married and everything would turn upside down. It had been so long. Had Lu Shen ever said that he would bring her to meet his family members, or that he would make it public with her?

He hated women in the entertainment industry the most. He hated that stepmother who had taken his mother's place. That marriage abroad was undoubtedly a stain that he wanted to erase in his perfect life. How could it be made public?

Xu Yi said calmly, "I want to be alone for a while. All of you should go and rest."

Luo Wei looked troubled. She had only joked with Xu Yi in the afternoon about whether Shen Lu had specially come over to accompany her. Now that she had encountered such a situation, she looked at Xu Yi's profile and wanted to say something, in the end, she could only sigh. "Okay, you should rest early."

She pulled Zheng Siyi out of the room.

Xu Yi sat in front of the large windows of the hotel suite. Some people were born to be enemies, just like Lu Shen and her. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a black-hearted businessman. He would not care about the lives of the ants, and he would not hesitate to squeeze them dry. 

Xu Yi took a deep breath. She picked up her phone and sent Lu Shen a WuChat message.

[Let's get a divorce. Let's arrange a time for it.]

After the message was sent, Xu Yi's anger subsided quite a bit. Xu Yi looked at the chat interface between her and Lu Shen, and her vision blurred. She saw that Lu Shen had replied with a single word -- 'Sure'.

She was stunned by this 'Sure'. When she came back to her senses, she realized that it was an illusion. Lu Shen had yet to reply to her message.

She must have been traumatized by his usual cold and aloof replies.
