Chapter 576: Divorcing Tomorrow
"Wei'er, now that you're married, you should temper your personality!"
"Zhiheng is your husband, you must be indulgent towards him, respect him, and save his face!"
"The Du Family is a large clan with many rules, you must learn them well and handle the relationship with your mother-in-law properly!"
As Qin Jianjun and Qin Wei'er descended the stage together, he lectured her non-stop on how to be a qualified wife.
"Dad, I understand!"
Qin Wei'er knew her father meant well and didn't argue. Lifting her wedding gown, she headed to a corner table, ready to dine with her elder brother Qin Yu, her father, and Zhou Cuiping.
There had been a considerable change in the Du Family's behavior today, leaving her feeling uncomfortable. Since Du Zhiheng ran off by himself, she couldn't be bothered to visit his relatives.
"Brother!"
After sitting down, Qin Wei'er called out to Qin Yu.
"Wei'er, you look truly beautiful today!"
With his keen insight, Qin Yu had seen clearly from the scene on the dais; the Du Family was preparing to turn against his sister. However, he had already devised a plan to deal with the Du Family; he was just biding his time for now.
"Thank you, Brother!"
Qin Wei'er smiled slightly, her feelings extremely complicated. For one, Du Zhiheng seemed to be different from what she had imagined, and living with him would likely not bring happiness. Moreover, she harbored feelings for Qin Yu and deeply wished she could be his bride today.
"Let's eat!"
Qin Yu didn't say anything more.
His sister was the apple of his eye, and the Du Family, ignorant of what they were up against, dared to deceive her and allow her to be humiliated; they would soon understand the kind of force they had provoked.
"Wei'er, Xiaoyu, we'll be heading back to East Sea this afternoon. You two should also come back early for the New Year!"
Qin Jianjun was honest but not stupid; he could tell that the Du Family didn't really care for his family, and staying on their turf would only make things unpleasant.
"There's no rush, Dad. We'll leave after tomorrow night!"
Qin Yu waved his hand and said.
He knew his father was also frustrated, but being too honest and timid, he didn't know how to express it.
"What's the point of staying? The Du Family has gone too far. They want Wei'er to kneel and serve tea, but when it comes to us, if that Du Zhiheng has to kneel, he's not willing!"
Zhou Cuiping couldn't hold back her complaints.
"Less of that, please!"
Qin Jianjun gave Zhou Cuiping a stern glance.
"I'm just stating the facts, aren't I? The Du Family, they think they're above everyone else just because they have money!"
Zhou Cuiping pursed her lips and said.
"It's okay, the matter between Wei'er and Du Zhiheng, I'll handle it. All you need to do is stay put!"
Qin Yu spoke up.
"Alright, we'll stay in Jinling for one more day!"
Qin Jianjun nodded.
After the meal, Qin Jianjun and Zhou Cuiping left first; the Du Family did not bother to show any hospitality or even escort them out.
After chatting with his sister for a while and glancing at Du Zhiheng, who was already flushed with drink, Qin Yu also took his leave.
Around one o'clock, most of the guests had dispersed.
It was winter and Qin Wei'er, dressed in her thin wedding gown, felt chilly. She decided to take care of herself and return to her room to change out of her wedding gown and into a warm down jacket.
Bang....
Just then, the door was pushed open from outside.
Qin Wei'er was startled and hurriedly lifted her wedding dress to cover her body, glaring at the drunken Du Zhiheng, "Why didn't you knock before coming in, I'm changing clothes?"
"You are my legally married wife, do I need to knock to enter my wife's room?"
With a slurred speech, Du Zhiheng said.
"Even if we are husband and wife, you still have to respect me. Get out, I'm changing my clothes!"
Seeing Du Zhiheng becoming more and more like a stranger, Qin Wei'er felt more and more disappointed, and she couldn't help but furrow her brows and pointed at the door as she ordered sternly.
"Damn it, you are my wife. What's wrong with me wanting to see you change clothes?"
Fixated on Qin Wei'er's fair jade back, and her long, straight, exposed beautiful legs, Du Zhiheng felt lust climbing up uncontrollably.
After closing the door with his heel, he staggered over to Qin Wei'er.
"What are you trying to do?"
Qin Wei'er took a step back.
"You're my wife, what do you think I want to do? We haven't been intimate yet, right? Right now, I can't wait any longer!"
As he spoke, Du Zhiheng pulled at his tie, lunging towards Qin Wei'er.
"Du Zhiheng, calm down. The law has established that even between husband and wife, it's considered assault if you go against the wife's wishes!"
Qin Wei'er took another step back, her pretty face cold as she spoke.
"Hahaha… You're a Cinderella from the countryside. I, taking a fancy to you, is your good fortune. And you talk about assault? Then go ahead and sue me!"
Ranging with laughter, Du Zhiheng exposed the shameless and lecherous side of his pampered rich boy demeanor.
"Get lost. We're getting a divorce tomorrow!"
Qin Wei'er had completely lost hope in Du Zhiheng. Maybe she should have listened to her older brother from the start, not to date Du Zhiheng. Marrying and then immediately filing for divorce made her the subject of ridicule.
This realization made her feel wronged and distressed.
"Fine, you want a divorce tomorrow? Well, at least for today, you are my wife! Quick, throw away the wedding dress. I'm really angry right now and need to cool off!"
Without a care, Du Zhiheng finished speaking and reached out to snatch the wedding dress Qin Wei'er was holding in front of her body.
"Bang... Get away from me!"
Qin Wei'er, who had a fierce temper, saw Du Zhiheng was about to get rough and kicked him directly on the shin where only a thin layer of skin covered the bone, causing excruciating pain.
"Ouch, you dare to hit me."
His eyes suddenly turned savage as Du Zhiheng roared, "I'll tell you, a divorce is possible, but that villa you signed for has a mortgage of ten million, you need to pay back five million. Also, the betrothal gift we gave to your family, you need to return it too!"
"What do you mean? It wasn't written like this in the contract at that time?"
Qin Wei'er was a bit panicked, suddenly saddled with a debt of five million. Maybe her big brother, Qin Yu, could take out this money, but this marital fiasco was such a mess, she had no face to trouble her brother.
"Hahaha, otherwise, how would you be called a country bumpkin? Do you understand the law? Do you understand contracts? The contract I made you sign is called a 'Yin-Yang contract.' What you saw was all nonsense. The key is on the last page. Once you signed, it became legally binding.
Now, you have two choices, either pay me five million three hundred thousand, or kneel down and beg to serve me well, entertain me for a month, and I may agree to the divorce!"
Convinced that he had Qin Wei'er cornered, as her whole family came from the countryside and couldn't possibly come up with such a huge amount of money.
"So, you've been scheming against me from the start?"
Qin Wei'er finally understood; from the day she met Du Zhiheng, she had fallen into his trap.
"So what if I have? If it weren't for the need to bring good luck to the Divine Doctor, would I chase after you? Let me tell you, I have a girlfriend, she's beautiful and rich. Once I'm done playing with you, I'm going to marry her!"
After arrogantly saying his piece, Du Zhiheng shouted again, "Aren't you going to hurry up and take off your clothes? Wait for me to come in!"
