Divorce! They had to divorce!

Gu Siyan hit the floor from the kick, and Ran Zhizhi hurriedly helped him up.

Gu Siyan held his side. "Do you know where you are? How dare you lay a hand on me!"

Yan Wen kicked twice at the air. "I didn't hit hard enough. Why wouldn't I dare hit you? Who do you think you are that I wouldn't dare?"

"I'm the president of the Mu Group!"

"The Mu Group, not the Gu Group. What are you acting so high and mighty for?"

Worried that Gu Siyan would take his anger out on Yan Wen, Qin Yue stepped in front of Yan Wen. "Gu Siyan, we don't love each other anyway. Let's get divorced right now, and you can be with Ran Zhizhi."

Ran Zhizhi hooked her arm through Gu Siyan's. "Yue, how can you be so unreasonable? You've always depended on Brother Gu to support you. You have no job and no income, yet you're so eager to divorce him. Have you met some rich man?"

Gu Siyan looked as though everything had suddenly clicked, the contempt and disgust on his face deepening.

"Qin Yue, you make me sick."

Qin Yue no longer had the strength to argue. All Ran Zhizhi had to do was say something, and Gu Siyan would believe her unconditionally. No amount of explaining would help.

Mu Xu Xi comforted her. "Gu Siyan is the one who cheated on his wife, and Ran Zhizhi is the one who hooked up with a married man. You did nothing wrong. Your only mistake was giving them far more respect than they deserved. Don't forget who you are. How can you let them bully you?"

Qin Yue lowered her head and reflected. For Gu Siyan's sake, she had concealed her identity as the Qin Family's eldest daughter and spent three years as a housewife. All she had received in return was humiliation from Gu Siyan and Ran Zhizhi, and she had almost...

Thinking of the child in her belly, Qin Yue seemed to make up her mind. She took out her phone and made a call. "Brother, I've decided. I want to divorce Gu Siyan. And I want to take back everything he's owed me over these past three years."

Yan Wen asked, Who is Qin Yue calling?

Xiao Qi replied, Her eldest brother, the Qin Family's Eldest Young Master.

Oh. What does Gu Siyan owe her, then?

Plenty. Gu Siyan only became president two years ago. When they first got together, Qin Yue covered all their living expenses by herself. And the only reason Mu Xingfeng discovered Gu Siyan was that Qin Yue begged her family to help.

Yan Wen's contempt for Gu Siyan grew. Treat a dog well, and even it will repay you for the rest of its life. Gu Siyan really is... I can't even find the words to curse him.

Xiao Qi's tone was contemptuous too. The Qin Family is far more powerful than Gu Siyan's family. If Qin Yue hadn't deliberately concealed her identity and married into the Gu family, Gu Siyan would have been a live-in son-in-law. He slept with Ran Zhizhi just two months after becoming president. Even tearing him limb from limb wouldn't be excessive.

Yan Wen's eyes widened slightly. Gu Siyan and Ran Zhizhi have been together that long?

Qin Yue nearly lost her footing, but fortunately, Mu Xu Xi was there to support her.

Xiao Qi replied, Yes. Ever since then, Gu Siyan has often used work as an excuse to spend the night at Ran Zhizhi's place. What work does he have to be busy with? He dumps it all on his subordinates. Every day, he takes Ran Zhizhi out to have fun, then comes home at night and uses being drunk as an excuse to abuse Qin Yue. The next day, he claims she seduced him.

Mu Xingfeng's expression darkened further and further. His gaze was icy as he warned Gu Siyan, "People with rotten morals are the last thing we tolerate at our company. If you don't resolve this properly, expect to be fired."

With that, Mu Xingfeng left. Xie Yunshu and Mu Huai'an followed him out.

Gu Siyan looked as though he wanted to kill Qin Yue. "Satisfied now? What do you gain by making me lose my job?"

Yan Wen clicked his tongue. "What do you mean, she made you? Did she hold a knife to your throat and force you to cheat on her?"

"This is my private family business. You have no right to interfere."

"I happen to love sticking my nose into other people's business. Call the police if you don't like it."

Xiao Qi exclaimed, Host, I just detected that Ran Zhizhi is already carrying Gu Siyan's child!

Does Ran Zhizhi know?

Probably not yet. But after she learns about the baby, she deliberately loses her own child with Gu Siyan and frames Qin Yue for it to make him divorce Qin Yue as soon as possible. Gu Siyan believes her and forces Qin Yue to work as Ran Zhizhi's maid. In the original course of events, Qin Yue herself had miscarried less than a month earlier.

Later, Ran Zhizhi spends all day wallowing in the pain of losing her child. Gu Siyan promises her that he'll make Qin Yue pay. That night, he goes home and forces himself on Qin Yue despite her weakened condition. He even says, "Zhizhi lost her child because of you. You have to get pregnant and give the baby to Zhizhi to raise as compensation." When Qin Yue resists, Gu Siyan locks her in the basement without food. Once she's too weak to fight, he drags her into the bedroom. Sure enough, two months later, Qin Yue is pregnant again.

Yan Wen's expression turned strange. Don't tell me Qin Yue successfully gives birth, only for Gu Siyan to snatch the baby away and give it to Ran Zhizhi?

It isn't that simple. Qin Yue suffers a massive hemorrhage during childbirth, but Gu Siyan thinks she's faking it. He deliberately stalls and refuses to sign the surgical consent form. Qin Yue dies on the operating table.

Yan Wen secretly patted his chest. Thankfully, none of that has happened yet. Those two scumbags belong behind bars.

A man walked in, tall and straight-backed, with a commanding presence. His thin black shirt hugged his well-trained physique.

Xiao Qi said, Host, this is Qin Yue's eldest brother, Qin Yu.

Qin Yu walked over to Qin Yue and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"

Qin Yue shook her head. "I'm fine."

Gu Siyan sneered. "Qin Yue, we're not even divorced yet, and you're seducing another man right in front of me!"

His answer was a resounding slap. Gu Siyan's head snapped to the side, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Qin Yu gripped Gu Siyan by the throat and warned him, "Bully my sister again, and I'll fucking kill you!"

Gu Siyan was nearly choking. Ran Zhizhi desperately tried to stop Qin Yu, but she couldn't budge his arm an inch. Qin Yue said, "Eldest Brother, killing him would only dirty your hands."

Only then did Qin Yu release Gu Siyan. "My sister has been married to you for three years. Forget making her happy—you actually teamed up with a mistress to bully her. Do you think the Qin Family is a pushover?"

Qin Yue said, "Eldest Brother, I want to divorce Gu Siyan, and he has to leave with nothing. I also want every resource our Qin Family secretly provided him taken back."

Qin Yu looked at his sister affectionately. "Eldest Brother was worried you'd let them bully you to death. I'm glad you've finally come to your senses. Leave Gu Siyan to me. I'll make him pay for every bit of suffering you've endured over the years."

Ran Zhizhi frowned. "Sister Yue, since when do you have a brother? Is he actually some lover you met somewhere? How could you do something like this just to get a divorce?"

Qin Yu didn't hold back just because Ran Zhizhi was a woman. He delivered a solid slap to her face, leaving a vivid handprint on her fair cheek.

Ran Zhizhi fell to the floor too. Clutching her face, she shouted, "How dare you hit me!"

A company subordinate walked in. "Second Young Master, here's the divorce agreement you asked me to prepare."

Mu Xu Ci took the agreement. "Sorry for the trouble. You can get back to work."

Mu Xu Ci handed the agreement to Qin Yue. "Take a look. Is there anything else that needs changing?"

Qin Yu looked puzzled, seemingly wondering why these people were helping his sister.

Yan Wen said, "Gu Siyan is the president of our Mu Group. If we don't resolve this, won't it damage our reputation? He cheats on his wife and abuses her. We have no place for scum like him."

Understanding dawned on Qin Yu. "Thank you for standing up for my sister."

Yan Wen smiled. "It was no trouble. By the way, I can help you get evidence of Gu Siyan's affair with Ran Zhizhi. Do you need it?"

Qin Yue clenched her fists. "Yes! I want every piece you can get. I want Gu Siyan to pay!"

Now that she had decided to leave, she would make him repay all the suffering she had endured over the past three years—twice over!
