Li Yutong stood by the door and stared at her.

Xie Zigui picked up the phone and pretended to be calm as she walked over to support her, “If you wanted to look for me, you could have called me. Why did you come looking for me yourself?”

As she spoke, she stared at Li Yutong’s expression, wanting to know how much she had heard.

Although Li Yutong had a mental illness and often forgot things, if she heard what he said just now, there was still the danger of being exposed.

Su Qianqian was the one who had gotten someone to run her over. Even if the truth was revealed, she could push Su Qianqian out to take the blame. However, if the Xie family found out she was the one who had been adding fuel to the fire, she would be chased out of the house before Xie Xianxian could return.

The Xie family had given her status and money, and she didn’t want it to go to waste.

Li Yutong looked at her and asked anxiously, “Guigui, what did you say about your Third Brother? Did something happen to him?”

Hearing this, Xie Zigui’s body turned cold.

She tried hard to find her voice to comfort her, “Third Brother is fine. He was mischievous and caused some trouble. Daddy went to settle it.”

If she knew something had happened to Xie Yiye, it would probably agitate Li Yutong.

At that moment, she only wanted to calm Li Yutong down.

“That… Mom, did you hear anything else?” She clenched her fingers, and her face gradually turned pale.

She hoped that Li Yutong did not hear anything, otherwise…

“Heard what?” Li Yutong looked at her as if she didn’t know anything about the world. “Oh, you mean that you want to silence someone?”

Li Yutong thought for a moment and asked carefully, “Guigui, what do you mean by silencing? Who are you going to silence?”

Xie Zigui’s expression froze.

Li Yutong’s hearing seemed to be exceptionally good today.

“Did I say something wrong?” Sensing that the atmosphere wasn’t right, Li Yutong quickly hugged her, “Don’t be angry. It’s my fault.”

Xie Zigui’s eyes flashed with coldness. She hugged Li Yutong back and asked softly, “It’s okay, but Mom, can you promise me not to tell anyone what you heard today? You couldn’t even tell Father and Brothers.”

Li Yutong thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright, I promise you.”

“Thank you, Mom.” Li Yutong looked relaxed, but her fingertips sank deep into her flesh.

In the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Wen Yan and Gu Jinmo sat together and were reprimanded by the staff.

“Was it domestic violence?” The staff member was a middle-aged woman. She looked at the documents in her hands again and asked Wen Yan.

Wen Yan shook her head.

“Cheating?” She asked again.

Wen Yan did not speak.

The staff member asked again, “Who cheated?”

Gu Jinmo and Wen Yan looked at each other and turned their heads away uneasily.

“I have to ask you clearly. Young people like you now divorce every time you quarrel. After you reconcile, you remarry.” The middle-aged woman raised her glasses and sized them up. “You guys are both attractive and young. Don’t divorce so easily. The fertility rate is low now…”

She didn’t expect that she would run into a nail in the coffin.

Seeing that the two of them were unmoved and showed no signs of regret, the middle-aged woman threw them another sentence, “There’s a one-month cooling-off period for the divorce.”

“If you’re really unwilling, file for divorce and let the court decide.”

The two of them walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau empty-handed and were somewhat at a loss.

The sunlight shone on her body, making her feel a little warm, but it was also dazzling.

“Do you want to file for divorce?” Wen Yan asked.

“No need. Let’s wait for a month.”

“It won’t affect your marriage with Su Qianqian, right?” She remembered they were already talking about getting married.

If they waited another month, Su Qianqian would probably go crazy.

As he watched her calmly discuss his marriage with Su Qianqian, Gu Jinmo remained silent.

“I think you should file for divorce.” Wen Yan reminded him kindly.

Su Qianqian didn’t seem like someone who could wait.

Gu Jinmo’s face was a little cold, “Didn’t you say that you don’t like her?”

“What’s the relationship between the two?” Wen Yan asked in confusion.

Gu Jinmo pursed his lips tightly, and there was indescribable anxiety in his heart.

There was nothing between them, but since she didn’t like Su Qianqian, shouldn’t she ask him not to get married?

“If you don’t like her, shouldn’t you hope that we won’t be together?” He remembered that when he was with Su Qianqian, she was very angry.

But now, her calm appearance made him feel uncomfortable.

It was as if he had lost the most important thing.

Hearing this, Wen Yan smiled.

“In the past, I hated the two of you being together, but Mother-in-law’s health isn’t good. She wants the two of you to get married, so I don’t want to stop her.”

He was about to marry Su Qianqian. She was someone who wanted to divorce him. What right did she have to ask him to stand on her side?

If they were in love, she could question him. But he didn’t like her at all.

Then what right did she have to ask him?

More importantly, he had already chosen to stand on Su Qianqian’s side.

The two of them would meet in court sooner or later. Instead of feeling uncomfortable by then, it was better to cut ties now.

Seeing that she was disappointed, Gu Jinmo wanted to explain, but in the end, he choked on his breath.

What was there to explain? He wasn’t with Su Qianqian?

But in this life, he was destined not to abandon Su Qianqian.

He looked at her deeply and said softly, “You’ve seen Su Caiyuan’s methods.”

He reminded her coldly, “Once you divorce me, he won’t let you off.”

“Then let him bring it on.” Wen Yan’s lips curled into a smile, which was gorgeous and beautiful under the sunlight.

She was fearless.

Gu Jinmo believed that she was really not afraid.

Thinking of how she had calmly walked out of Su’s villa that day, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, “If there’s anything I can help with, feel free to ask. After all…”

He paused, “We’re husband and wife.”

“I thought you were with Su Caiyuan.” Wen Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.

“No.” Gu Jinmo frowned. He seemed to have thought of something, and his face revealed some discomfort.

She didn’t know what grudge he had with Su Caiyuan, but she didn’t care, so she didn’t ask anymore.

“You can go first. I still have things to do.” Wen Yan glanced at his phone and waved at him.

Seeing Wen Yan leave without looking back, Gu Jinmo called out to her, “Wen Yan.”

Wen Yan stood still, turned around, and smiled, “Hmm?”

Her stunning features were like Niwa’s masterpiece. Her black hair was covered with a layer of soft light under the sunlight. Her black hair was coiled up, and a strand of hair jumped out playfully and caressed her collarbone.

“Nothing…”

His eyes deepened, and his low and hoarse voice revealed some helplessness and unwillingness.

He stopped her to ask if she could not get a divorce, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

“I’ll be leaving first.”

He staggered and almost fled.

Wen Yan lowered her head and covered her chest, smiling helplessly.

It seemed she was already used to the pain and was numb to it.

She composed herself and pressed down on a button on her watch.

Soon, a surprised male voice came from inside, “Yanyan, you’re finally willing to contact me!”

“Help me investigate someone when you have time.”

“Who is it?”

“The truck driver who hit Xie Yiye.”
