Xu Jiasheng did not deny it: "The news of the divorce was indeed spread by me."
"But the pregnancy thing isn't my doing." He looked at me, "I'm not that heartless."
That was true.
However...
"Did you cause He Li Yan's Xiao Que'er account to suddenly go viral all over the internet?" I asked curiously.
Xu Jiasheng looked at me, a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "What do you think?"
I shook my head: "I can't guess."
Xu Jiasheng chuckled: "It was me."
I stared at him in surprise: "Why?"
Xu Jiasheng snorted coldly: "He Li Yan's Xiao Que'er was originally just a nobody."
"Her so-called scandalous photos were hardly enough to take down He Li Yan." Xu Jiasheng said coldly, "So I helped her gain some fame."
This was truly surprising.
I looked at Xu Jiasheng: "Doing this will offend people."
Xu Jiasheng smiled nonchalantly: "I've already offended him anyway."
"One more won't make a difference." He turned to me, his gaze gentle, "I just want to make you happy."
A flutter stirred in my heart.
To be honest, I was indeed quite happy.
This marriage had long caused me immense pain.
Seeing He Li Yan in trouble naturally brought me joy.
But what puzzled me was...
“Why does the He Family allow that Xiao Que'er to act so recklessly?” I asked in confusion.
Xu Jiasheng chuckled, “Probably because the old master of the He Family is seriously ill.”
“He Li Yan is too preoccupied with his own troubles to pay attention to that Xiao Que'er,” Xu Jiasheng sneered. “But that Xiao Que'er is quite capable.”
“It's hard to believe it has really come to the point where Old Master He has fallen ill because of this,” Xu Jiasheng shook his head. “Now He Li Yan has a lot on his plate.”
Indeed.
The old master of the He Family is the pillar of the family.
With him now ill, He Li Yan is naturally overwhelmed.
I took the divorce agreement and headed to the old residence of the He Family.
I hoped to resolve the divorce matters with He Li Yan once and for all.
But I didn’t expect that I would have to face not only He Li Yan but also his parents.
“Li Li, it’s normal for couples to have conflicts, but there’s no need to make it so ugly, right?”
My father-in-law looked at me with a stern face. “You are from the Wen Family, but you are also part of the He Family. If you make a scene, it won’t just be your face on the line; it will be the reputation of both the He Family and the Wen Family!”
I understood what my father-in-law meant.
He wanted me to maintain this marriage for the sake of both families' reputations.
But I was unwilling.
“Dad…” I looked at him, “This is my personal marriage, and I don’t want to compromise my own happiness.”
“I know you want me to uphold our families' honor by staying in this marriage, but I can't do it.” I closed my eyes. “I’m sorry.”
“Li Li, please don’t be so quick to refuse.” He Li Yan’s mother grasped my hand. “I know He Li Yan made mistakes, but he realizes he was wrong.”
“He has already cut ties with that woman outside,” she sighed. “Li Li, please give him another chance.”
"After all, you have been married for so many years," He Li Yan's mother looked at me, her eyes filled with a hint of pleading. "Can you really bear to give up like this?"
Her words stirred something within me.
After all, I had been married to He Li Yan for so many years.
It was impossible to say that there were no feelings involved.
At that moment, footsteps echoed from the staircase.
He Li Yan came down.
He looked considerably worn out.
His chin was covered in stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He walked over and took my hand. "Li Li..."
"Can you not divorce me?" He grasped my wrist tightly, his voice hoarse. "Li Li, I won't make any more mistakes."
I bit my lip. "He Li Yan..."
With a thud, He Li Yan knelt before me.
