After Pretending to Fall, They Revealed Their True Faces

Song Qi looked at her with such jealous eyes that goosebumps rose all over her body.

"Ye Mingyan, what nonsense are you spouting? You married into the Song Family, so you're part of the Song Family. Meeting another man behind Song Qi's back is simply shameless and immoral!"

The old lady spoke up. This was Song Qi's Mother, Song Mu's Grandmother. Her face was full of wrinkles, but when she spoke, her venomous nature was evident.

"Then why don't you ask your scoundrel grandson what he did?"

Ye Mingyan's expression was terrifyingly grim. She had no good feelings towards this old woman who doted on her grandson.

Song Mu shivered, wanting to hide behind his grandmother.

But Ye Mingyan's cold gaze seemed capable of killing. He could only stammer out the details of what had happened.

"So what?" In the old lady's eyes, her grandson was the most important person in the world. "My grandson beat someone, so what? With the Song Family's power, can't we beat a mere commoner? Do we even need President Ye to personally apologize?"

The old woman completely twisted right and wrong. It was precisely because of such a grandmother that Song Mu had developed his arrogant and overbearing personality.

"I think you've got someone else outside! You even specifically put on makeup and dressed up, acting all seductive!"

"..."

This old woman was like a mad dog, attacking anyone she saw.

Looking at the Song Family's unreasonable behavior, Ye Mingyan, besides her anger, couldn't help but feel a hint of a bitter smile.

She wasn't unaware of the true faces of this family.

Thinking back now, Ye Mingyan felt she had been too foolish to endure this for so many years.

"Auntie, you are an independent individual, not an appendage to anyone!"

The young man's words suddenly echoed in Ye Mingyan's mind.

An impulse surged through Ye Mingyan.

For years, she had been immersed in her career, never paying attention to her own emotions.

But now, looking at Song Qi, Song Mu, and that venomous-faced old lady... the disgust in her heart could no longer be suppressed!

Truly... she didn't want to stay here for another second.

"Let's get a divorce. This marriage has no practical meaning anyway..."

"I will move out immediately... A lawyer will contact you shortly."

Ye Mingyan's tone was light, but after saying this, it felt as if a thousand-pound weight had been lifted from her heart, leaving her incredibly relieved.

"You, what are you talking about? Divorce, you really cheated, you shameless woman!"

Old Mrs. Song's eyes bulged, her white hair flying wildly as she pointed her finger at Ye Mingyan.

"Ye Mingyan, are you crazy? Do you know how much this divorce will affect the company?"

Song Qi also couldn't believe Ye Mingyan's words.

Although he and Ye Mingyan had no marital relations, they even lived on different floors at home.

But there was no doubt that Ye Mingyan was a stunningly beautiful and intelligent woman, something Song Qi had always been proud of!

Ye Mingyan was his capital for showing off.

Moreover, over the years, the company had flourished under Ye Mingyan's management. He couldn't possibly let Ye Mingyan divorce him.

"Affect the company?"

Ye Mingyan sneered.

"Song Mu's incident has already caused enough damage. I am the President of the company. After severing ties with the Song Family, perhaps the company's reputation can be salvaged."

"Song Mu? Song Mu just beat someone up. How could he affect the company?"

Song Qi grabbed his son, his face full of rage. Song Mu gritted his teeth and took out his phone, showing his father the trending news.

Song Qi's eyes widened in disbelief. He took out his phone and called a trusted confidant at the company...

"Because it's trending, the company's orders have been reduced by more than half overnight... President Song, you should hurry and take your son to apologize..."

Before he could finish, Song Qi hung up the call.

He stared at his son with bloodshot eyes.

"You caused a trending topic, and last night you stayed out all night indulging in pleasure, you unfilial son!"

Song Qi's anger surged, and he slapped Song Mu across the face. Song Mu was dazed, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"You dare hit my grandson!"

The old lady became even more enraged, her white hair flying wildly as she quickly helped her precious grandson up.

Although Song Qi didn't manage the company.

He wasn't a fool either!

If Ye Mingyan truly divorced him.

Then the company would definitely split into two factions.

One side was the well-managed female president.

Meanwhile... The negative press manufactured by the Song Family had severely damaged the company's reputation.

With this comparison, anyone with a brain would know which side to choose!

Once divorced, Ye Mingyan would still be the President.

But for their Song Family, it would likely be the beginning of the end!

"Ye Mingyan! I'm begging you, don't divorce me!"

In the face of money, dignity was completely worthless.

He tried to grab Ye Mingyan's hand, but she glared at him, and he didn't dare make any further moves.

"It's all Song Mu's fault, that beast. I'll tell him to get lost tomorrow, tell him to move out."

"Song Qi, you dare tell my grandson to get lost?"

The old lady shrieked.

"I know you can't stand my mother either. I can tell her to get lost too."

"I know you can't stand me either. After all, we're only nominally married..."

Song Qi gritted his teeth, a bitter feeling of humiliation surging in his heart.

To keep Ye Mingyan, he would do anything.

"If it's really necessary, I can move out too. I'll leave the four-story mansion all to you. You won't have to lock your door so cautiously every day. All the space will belong only to you..."

"Even... you can bring other people home..."

"I don't care even if you date other men, I'm just begging you not to divorce me!"

Chapter 55: Coveting

"Brother, your hand is injured. It might get infected if it gets wet. Do you want me to come in and help you?"

At night, at Lin Che's home.

Lin Che's bandages had already been removed.

Because he had been wearing bandages, the doctor had told him not to bathe.

So, after the bandages were removed, the first thing Lin Che did when he got home was head into the bathroom.

He had just tossed his clothes into the laundry hamper when Gu Yilan's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing Gu Yilan call him, Lin Che was startled.

He hadn't expected Gu Yilan to be so proactive?

He was currently in a vulnerable state. Was this girl trying to get a good look?

"Gu Yilan, don't be silly. If my mom sees you, she'll beat me to death!"

"It's okay, Auntie went out after making dinner. She's going to take care of Grandma..."

Lin Che suddenly understood!

Gu Yilan wasn't acting on impulse; she was prepared!

She had even timed it perfectly, specifically waiting until Lin's Mother was out before making her move!

"Brother, don't worry, I'll just help you wash your back... I won't do anything else..."

Gu Yilan felt incredibly shameless.

Saying something like that was just like a pickup line from a scumbag.

Like, "I just want to hug you, I won't do anything else..."

--That kind of talk is clearly a lie.

Lin Che looked at his wound. Although the bandages were removed, it would still be very uncomfortable if the scabs got wet.

"Okay, you can help me wash my back, but no funny business!"

He warned.

However...

--That kind of talk is clearly a lie.

"Mhm~"

Gu Yilan replied sweetly, her mood soaring.

Her emotions surged like a tide, her heart pounding in her throat. Gu Yilan swallowed and reached for the bathroom door handle.

Lin Che's bathroom was designed with a dry and wet separation.

The glass door of the shower was fogged up, like natural frosted glass, obscuring the view.

"Gu Yilan, wait a moment. Let me wrap a towel around my waist first, then you can help me wash my back..."

Lin Che's voice echoed in the small shower stall.

To Gu Yilan, that voice was like a deadly poison, making her heart itch and her body tremble with anticipation. She couldn't wait to push open the glass door and see for herself.

"Gu Yilan, hand me the bath towel."

Following Lin Che's words, Gu Yilan saw the bath towel hanging on the rack.

And...

The laundry basket next to the rack.

Lin Che's discarded clothes were all neatly folded in the laundry basket.

Looking at this pile of clothes, Gu Yilan couldn't help but let her mind wander. The young girl's heart was filled with all sorts of messy thoughts, and each imagined scene made Gu Yilan blush and her heart race.

This meant Lin Che was currently in his "undressed" state!

Gu Yilan pinched her thigh. The pain on her leg proved she wasn't dreaming!

Her childhood crush, whom she had secretly admired for so long, was now just a wall away, waiting for her unguarded. A burning heat spread from Gu Yilan's neck to the roots of her ears, her fair cheeks flushing like a beautiful sunset!

Her heart pounded like thunder.

Gu Yilan decided to lay her cards on the table: she was lusting after Lin Che's body!

When hypnotizing him, Gu Yilan hadn't dared to do too much.

So, she had only ever seen Lin Che fully clothed.

But now, she knew Lin Che liked her, so...

She couldn't help but want to explore a whole new world!

Gu Yilan gritted her teeth.

She would definitely get her school uniform wet if she helped Lin Che wash his back while wearing it.

Gu Yilan slowly undressed.

The girl's movements weren't like those of a mature and alluring older woman. Every action was seductive and full of suggestion.

But Gu Yilan's clumsy movements made her appear exceptionally pure and captivating.
