My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 405: The 0404 am I very cheap? (Second update)_1
 

Yang Dingguo finally looked at Yang Xinyi and said, “I called you here today because there’s something I need to tell you.”

“The day after tomorrow is Su Zhentian’s sixtieth birthday. He and I have some connections, and he has invited me to attend. At that time, our family of three will go together.” Yang Dingguo’s tone was somewhat gentler.

Yang Xinyi didn’t know that her father had a connection with the Capital City’s Su Family; he had never mentioned it before.

She had wanted to ask for clarification, but having had an unpleasant dispute with her father, she was no longer in the mood and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

“I don’t know anyone from the Su Family; you and Mom can go.”

“How can you get to know them if you don’t go?”

“I’m busy.”

“Busy or not, you have to go; this is important. The Su Family is a major force in Capital City, and getting to know some people this time can be very helpful for your future business.”

“Capital City is a gazillion miles away from here; how could that possibly be of any help?” Yang Xinyi muttered.

“Don’t you want people to come here for investment?” Yang Dingguo was about to lose his temper again.

Zhao Lizhen hastily cut in, saying to Yang Xinyi, “Listen to your dad for once, just treat it as a trip for fun.”

“Miss Yang, I know quite a few people in Capital City, some of whom do invest in other places as well. Perhaps someone will take an interest in Jiangnan. Besides, even without a business partnership, getting to know a few people is still good. Maybe you’ll even meet your Mr. Right!” Jiang Ting said with a smile.

“Uncle Jiang, I’m already married,” Yang Xinyi reminded him.

“Haven’t you already divorced?” Jiang Ting asked, puzzled.

When Jiang Ting was investigating Yang Xinyi, he had asked people from the public security bureau to look into Ye Xiong, and it was only through this inquiry that he found out she had divorced.

Of course, the fact of the divorce was still unknown to Yang Dingguo and his wife.

“What, divorced?” Yang Dingguo’s face turned pale.

He stood up abruptly and roared, “Xinyi, what in the world is going on here?”

For a moment, Yang Xinyi didn’t know how to explain, nor could she explain clearly.

“Weren’t you moving into his family’s home? How come you’re divorced now?” When Yang Dingguo saw that she remained silent, his gaze fell on Jiang Ting and he pressed urgently, “Old Jiang, when did she get divorced?”

“It’s been a few months; I thought you knew, and didn’t expect…” Jiang Ting was extremely embarrassed.

Hearing this, Yang Dingguo became furiously angry, “Yang Xinyi, so you divorced him and didn’t even tell us. Do you still consider us your parents? You got divorced and you’re still living in his house; have you no shame? You’re driving me to my grave!”

Yang Xinyi kept a straight face and remained silent, not knowing what to say.

“I told you he wasn’t reliable, but you wouldn’t listen. Now do you realize your mistake? Are you trying to infuriate us to death?”

“Why are you silent now? Are you too ashamed to speak? I’m telling you, leave his house immediately, and from now on, you’re forbidden to see him.

“That bastard; I’ll make sure he gets what he deserves.”

Yang Dingguo continued cursing, his emotions flaring uncontrollably.

“Dingguo, don’t get too worked up, have you forgotten about your high blood pressure? Are you not afraid of another hospital stay like last time?” Zhao Lizhen quickly tried to calm him.

Yang Xinyi bit her lower lip tightly, holding back tears that whirled in her eyes.

Even if she was deeply wronged, she wouldn’t show a weak side in front of her parents—this was what her father had taught her since she was little.

“Dingguo, why are you getting so worked up?” Jiang Ting couldn’t help but speak up, saying, “What kind of society are we in now? How can you still be so old-fashioned? It’s just a divorce. If it’s not suitable, then separate; what’s the big deal? Do you know how high the divorce rate is nowadays? I think with Xinyi’s qualifications, even though she’s divorced, she is still very much in demand. Xinyi, when Uncle Jiang goes to Capital City this time, I’ll introduce you to some decent men.”

“I’m angry because she doesn’t listen, and even more so because she does things behind my back. So what if she got divorced; why is she still living with him? Isn’t that a disgrace?”

Yang Xinyi suddenly stood up and asked, “Mom, when is the flight?”

“We’ve already booked the flight for tomorrow night. We’ll stay in Capital City for one day, and the day after tomorrow is the birthday celebration of Elder Su Zhentian.”

“I’ll be there on time, if there’s nothing else, I’m leaving now,” Yang Xinyi said and then stood up, walking away without looking back, she didn’t want to stay any longer.

From the moment she stepped in, her heart had been in constant pain.

“Xinyi, wait a minute,” Zhao Lizhen hurriedly followed her out.

At the door, Yang Xinyi stopped and said, “Mom, I’m fine, don’t worry about me.”

“Xinyi, don’t blame your dad, you know what his temper is like. He never approved of you and Ye Xiong, yet you went against his wishes, and now things have turned out this way, it’s no wonder he’s upset,” Zhao Lizhen sighed.

“Mom, I’m an adult, not a child, I can solve my own problems, you don’t need to worry,” Yang Xinyi said.

“Actually, the reason I asked you to come over was to tell you something else, but I don’t know how to say it,” Zhao Lizhen hesitated greatly.

“Mom, just tell me what it is. Why are you hesitating?”

“Forget it, I’ll see how things go when you go to the Capital City,” Zhao Lizhen still didn’t say it in the end, she took her daughter’s hand and said, “Xinyi, no matter when, you will always be the treasure of your mother’s heart.”

As she said this, Zhao Lizhen’s eyes turned red, and a tear swirled in her eyes.

“Mom, why are you acting so strange today?” Yang Xinyi asked curiously.

“It’s nothing, just feeling a bit emotional. You should go back now, drive safe.”

“Then I’m going back now.”

Yang Xinyi hugged her mother and then turned to leave.

The moment she turned around, her tears fell.

She didn’t blame her father; she had known about his temper since she was a child, she just hated herself.

Having given up so much for him, was it worth it to end up like this?

…

Ye Xiong was distracted all day, failing to get through to Yang Xinyi’s phone, and even Xiao Fangfang wouldn’t answer hers. That busybody had betrayed him just to make up with Yang Xinyi.

He should have known, had he not saved her at the provincial city’s evening event, let her be circled and crossed by dozens of men over and over.

Of course, this was just grumbling to himself.

Finally, the night came, and he sat alone in the desolate hall, keeping vigil in an empty room, an experience that was just too unbearable.

He suddenly understood how Yang Xinyi must have felt, waiting at home alone when he wasn’t there.

Men are creatures who court misery, always realizing what they’ve lost and then regretting it.

After muddling through two days, when he returned to the company, people saw his sullen face and dared not greet him.

An employee made a slight mistake and was berated by him so harshly that the worker couldn’t bear it and went straight to He Mengji to resign.

After understanding the situation, He Mengji comforted the employee, then walked to Ye Xiong’s office and pushed the door open.

Ye Xiong was playing solitaire in front of the computer inside, he looked up at her entrance and asked indifferently, “What’s the matter?”

He Mengji closed the door, walked over to him, pulled a chair up to sit down, and said, “Your mood has been very unusual these past two days, did something happen?”

“It’s nothing.”

“Let’s not talk about work, just see me as a friend and chat with me, you know, sometimes, many people are obscured by their own perspective.”

Ye Xiong was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, “He Mengji, am I a real jerk?”
