“Click!”

The office door was pushed open with a soft sound.

“Mom, what are you doing here?” Wei Zhou asked , frowning.

Zhong Cuiping walked over aggressively and slammed the table. She questioned, “Wei Zhou, tell me the truth. Why did Su Yan divorce you? Is she seeing someone else?”

Wei Zhou’s expression soured. “Mom, don’t get involved too. Hurry up and go home.”

“I’m annoyed!”

Although he and Su Yan did not consummate their marriage despite being husband and wife, he was still a man with a normal outlook on life. How could he tolerate having a green patch on his head?

Had it been anyone that did what Zhong Cuiping did, he would have already slapped them in the face.

The online news of the relationships amongst the rich and powerful families and its hype made Zhong Cuiping fly into a rage. She was already going crazy, especially with the report of Wei Zhou being cheated on. It made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Her son was so outstanding, how could he be cheated on?

“You’re annoyed? I’m the most annoyed one!”

“What are you doing on the trending searches for being cuckolded? You guys just got divorced, and the next instant she is making out with that gigolo on the street. It’s obvious that they’ve been together for a long time. Our Wei Family can’t take this kind of humiliation.”

Zhong Cuiping was hysterical. Her small hands were slapping wildly on the table.

Wei Zhou didn’t say a word. He had nothing to say and didn’t know what to say.

When he saw the paparazzi, he knew that something would go wrong, but he did not expect it to be so big. Especially when he saw the news of the “Young Hunk Kissing the Wife of a Rich Family on the Street”, he felt like he was about to explode.

“Mom, think about it. How many times has Su Yan gone out from our house all these years?” Wei Zhou asked, “She does the housework at home every day. How would she have time to go out and hook up with others?”

“What you see online are all manipulated by the media. Don’t look at these useless things in the future. I’ve already divorced her peacefully. She has nothing to do with our family anymore.”

Zhong Cuiping thought about it and felt that it made sense.

“Divorce peacefully? She didn’t ask for a share of the property?” Zhong Cuiping quickly asked.

Compared to those gossips, this was what she cared about the most. In her opinion, the only reason Su Yan insisted on marrying Wei Zhou back then was for money.

Wei Zhou took a deep breath and said slowly, “She didn’t ask for anything. She left the family register with nothing!”

“Secretary Li, give the divorce agreement to my mother.”

Looking at the contents of the agreement, Zhong Cuiping was completely dumbfounded. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Zhou quickly left the office and left Li Rong to serve the old lady.

…

Wei Zhou’s private villa.

As soon as he entered, Wei Zhou lay on the sofa, feeling very frustrated.

This villa was his secret garden, and he usually lived here alone. He avoided returning to the Wei Family home if he could.

Firstly, he did not like Su Yan and could not stand the idea of having to sleep in the same room as her. Secondly, Zhong Cuiping was too difficult to please, and he would hide whenever he could.

“Wei Zhou, I heard that you divorced Su Yan?” On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yuan’s concerned voice could be heard.

“You heard about it too?” Wei Zhou asked.

“It is all over the internet. It’s impossible not to know.” Jiang Yuan said helplessly, “Why did you get a divorce? Su Yan is a virtuous woman. She is very obedient. I can see that she loves you from the bottom of her heart. In today’s society, it’s really hard to meet a woman who treats you wholeheartedly!”

Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, Wei Zhou fell silent.

Jiang Yuan was his university classmate and also his best friend. The two of them had fought together, drank together, and even fell out before. However, after a few days, they were best friends again, the same as before.

“Alright, I know you must be in a bad mood now. Since it’s already like this, I won’t trouble you anymore. Take care of yourself!” After Jiang Yuan said that, he hung up the phone.

Wei Zhou looked at his phone blankly. He felt his heart ached for a moment. He had no way to refute Jiang Yuan’s words. Su Yan was indeed a qualified wife. He could not find any fault in her in any way.

Most importantly, Su Yan truly loved him!

In the past, he thought that Su Yan was after money, or at least marrying him for the separation of assets after the divorce. However, what happened today was far beyond his expectations.

An inexplicable marriage and an inexplicable divorce.

Looking at the bright red divorce certificate on the coffee table, Wei Zhou frowned deeply. Did he just become second-hand?

The next instant, the marriage certificate went into the trash can. He, who had always been proud, did not want to see this kind of thing again.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, his phone suddenly rang. Wei Zhou turned over and did not want to pick it up at all.

The phone rang again and again. Finally, Wei Zhou could not stand it anymore.

“Who the f*ck is it? Is there something wrong with you?!” Wei Zhou snapped as he picked up the phone.

“Oh, you still have such a bad temper. Looks like you won’t die anytime soon.” Lan Jian’s voice sounded.

Hearing that it was him, Wei Zhou’s anger subsided a little. Lan Jian was his childhood friend. The two of them had grown up together.

“If you have something to say, say it quickly. I’m currently irritated!” Wei Zhou said in annoyance.

“Hehe, I have news for you. Your delicate ex-wife is starting to stand up. She just booked Blue Dream Bay, and she’s paying for all the expenses.”

“I’m assuming that she’s using your money to squander?” Lan Jian laughed.
