Divorce

The scene had the people nearby whispering among themselves.

"Who are those two?"

"Who knows? They don't even seem to know what's going on."

Only Ye Qing knew what was happening. The two people were the You Family's nanny and driver.

Well, this takes the cake. One picked the nanny, and the other picked the driver.

Even rabbits don't eat the grass beside their burrows, but these two...

And the real kicker is that each child shares blood with only one of them.

The Ye Family members didn't understand at first. What did that mean?

One child was born to You Bo and the nanny. The other was born to Jiang You and the driver.

What a mess!

And they both hid it so well. You Bo even thinks the other boy is his biological son.

The Ye Family members discreetly studied the two children. Each did resemble one parent, but neither had features from both.

Once they looked closely, it was startling. But how had they pulled it off?

Ye Qing knew the answer. Jiang You and the nanny had given birth on the same day. While Jiang You was unconscious, You Bo had bribed a doctor at the hospital to tell her she had given birth to two children.

Jiang You hadn't had the babies checked during her pregnancy, so she had fallen for it.

The nanny glared at You Bo and demanded, "Didn't you say you were about to get divorced? What's going on? You lied to me!"

The sudden turn of events had already left You Bo frantic. Being questioned by his mistress only made him more agitated. "Yes, I lied. So what? It was just a fling. What were you dreaming of?"

"You Bo, you're a monster!"

"Security! Get her out of here." He couldn't talk that way to the guests, but surely he could say it to his mistress.

The furious nanny struggled against the guards and looked at You Bo. "Fine. Then let me take my son."

The revelation left everyone stunned. So one of the children belonged to the nanny—and judging by Jiang You's expression, she hadn't known.

Perhaps the guards wanted to watch the drama too, because their grip loosened. The nanny ran to the You Family's younger son and gazed at him through tears. "Son, I'm your real mother."

Only she knew what it had felt like to hear her son call another woman Mom, time after time.

"Come with me, all right? I can give you a good life too."

"Wh-what are you talking about?"

Jiang You slowly came to her senses and looked at them. "What... what does this mean?"

She had raised someone else's child. What a joke.

The driver hurriedly asked, "Xiao You, what does this mean? Isn't the young master my son?"

He was so used to calling the boy "young master" that he hadn't changed his wording, but everyone understood him.

So the older son wasn't You Bo's?

What a mess.

The older son was reeling too.

Strictly speaking, doesn't that make both boys illegitimate?

As if he hadn't said enough, the driver went on, "Didn't you say we'd be together later? What's going on?"

"Enough. Stop talking!"

You Bo was beside himself with rage. "Jiang You, how dare you?"

He had been planning to pass the company down to his older son. And now this was the truth.

He had nearly handed everything over to another man's child.

Jiang You, meanwhile, had grown calm. "Forget it, You Bo. We were both just having fun. We're no better than each other."

Now that everything was out in the open, divorce was her best option.

She had gotten what she wanted over the years, and she'd had enough of this life.

As for the driver, Jiang You looked at him. "I said that, and you actually believed me? It was just pillow talk."

"I wouldn't have come to you if you weren't better in bed than You Bo. And how could you believe I wasn't sleeping with him?"

Jiang You scoffed. "How naive."

She basically just told everyone You Bo's bad in bed. Who could take that?

Sure enough, You Bo's face darkened. "Jiang You," he said through gritted teeth, "what are you saying?"

"What? I said it. If you don't like it, hit me."

When You Bo made no move, Jiang You kept taunting him. "Coward."

Jiang You didn't believe today's events were an accident. Wei Lanhui was supposed to have been the one humiliated. It was a shame, but she had been outplayed.

Jiang You looked at Ye Mother standing behind Ye Father, unwilling to accept it but powerless to change anything. She had always liked Ye Sheng. What a shame. If he had liked her back then, perhaps her life wouldn't have turned out this way.

Wei Lanhui and Ye Sheng were Ye Mother's and Ye Father's names.

Seeing how affectionate they were made Jiang You furious. If she had to suffer today, she wouldn't let Wei Lanhui have an easy time either.

"Ye Sheng, I really do love you. I did before, I do now, and I always will. If you ever change your mind, my door is open."

The people around them quietly turned to look at Ye Father. Who would have thought he was involved too?

The men nearby took another look at him. Well, they had to admit he had aged remarkably well.

How did Dad get dragged into this too?

Ye Father's mind was filled with a single plea: Help me, help me. He had never been this anxious, even during business negotiations.

He hurriedly turned to Ye Mother. "Lan Hui, you know you're the only one I love."

Then he looked at Jiang You. "Don't try to frame me. I've never liked you, not from the beginning. Stop imagining things. It's never going to happen."

"You..." Ye Father searched for the right words. "Aren't you what people online call an average woman who thinks she's irresistible?"

That finally made Ye Mother laugh. Ye Father relaxed a little. As long as she was laughing, everything would be fine.

Pfft. I've never seen Dad this worked up.

Wow, Dad even knows that phrase.

Ye Ci and Ye Chen, standing nearby, could only wonder what kind of man Ye Qing thought their father was. Someone who lived under a rock?

Jiang You looked at the Ye Family and found the whole thing dull.

She picked up her coat and turned to You Bo. "We're getting divorced. I'll have someone send over the papers."

Before leaving, she asked her older son whom he wanted to stay with. Perhaps the shock was too much for him, because he said nothing. In the end, Jiang You simply told him he could come find her whenever he wanted.

Once she left, the spectacle was probably over. Even so, the guests looked reluctant to leave.

After all, they didn't get a revelation like this every day—both sons turning out to be illegitimate.

Some couples in their circle had affairs on both sides, but at least they made sure their children were their own. The You Family's situation was something else entirely.

What a satisfying feast of gossip!
