Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“But it looks like Madam Ji did not raise her son well. Otherwise, how could she let her son cheat on his wife and let another woman have an illegitimate child?” Cen Shuang, who was sitting not far away, was watching as the negotiation began to fail. Cen Zhu was sitting opposite the domineering Ji Qiuhua. Cen Shuang could not help but sneer.
“You want to send my sister away with just two properties in the desolate countryside? Madam, you must think that you can push my sister and me around because our family has fallen.”
“You’re spouting nonsense. You two b*tches have no dignity.” Ji Qiuhua looked at Cen Shuang and was so angry that her hands were trembling. She raised her arms and wanted to slap her. However, this time, Cen Shuang would not let her. She pulled Cen Zhu with her and they dodged the slap. This slap landed on the wall, causing Ji Qiuhua to suck in a breath of cold air in pain.
“Since you don’t want to resolve this peacefully, Madam Ji, we can only meet in court. Don’t worry, we will definitely continue this fight. Oh right, it’s fine if you don’t want to return the transferred assets. The Zhuang family doesn’t mind helping you out.” At the mention of the Zhuang family, heads snapped up in interest. Everyone in Lin City knew who they were. Moreover, the Lu family could not hold a candle to the Zhuang family. If the Zhuang family wanted to stand up for Cen Zhu, crushing the Lu family would be like crushing a bug.
When Ji Qiuhua heard Cen Shuang’s words, her face instantly turned pale. Cen Shuang did not need to say that the Zhuang family had already begun to make a move against the Lu family. Otherwise, why would she come over with the divorce agreement today? To put it bluntly, she was just angry that Cen Zhu had gotten into her head. How had the wretched girl, Cen Shuang, latched onto the Zhuang family so that she could threaten her this way?
After leaving the coffee shop, Cen Zhu said worriedly, “Did the Zhuang family really make a move on the Lu Family? Aren’t we troubling them too much?”
“Don’t worry, the Zhuang family knows their limits. Mom also wants to help us end things with the Lu family as soon as possible. Don’t worry, it’s just to scare them. Don’t let them make things difficult for you,” Cen Shuang said with a smile on her face. When she thought about how well the Zhuang family treated her, she could not help but smile.
“I know that your mother-in-law helped me for your sake, but I don’t want us to owe the Zhuang family too much.” She just didn’t want Cen Shuang to get too involved with the Zhuang family, and she also did not want Cen Shuang to feel that she owed the Zhuang family. She was afraid that once some time had passed, when Cen Shuang wanted to leave Zhuang Hong, the Zhuang family would not let go of her so easily. She had risked her life by marrying into the small Lu family, and it was not easy for her to get a divorce. Cen Shuang had married into the Zhuang family, who had the most power and influence in Lin City. Cen Zhu could not help but hold Cen Shuang’s hand worriedly as she thought about this. She hoped that all of this would end as soon as possible. As Cen Zhu wished, everything would end the next morning.

The Lu family could not withstand the Zhuang family’s actions. Very quickly, the two of them discussed the divorce and happily signed the divorce agreement.
In the Zhuang residence, Cen Shuang rested her head on Zhuang Hong’s stomach in the room and read it to him with great interest. Her clear voice took up the entire room. After she finished reading one chapter, Cen Shuang sized up Zhuang Hong who was still on the bed and secretly kissed him on the lips. She was more used to it now, and not as embarrassed as she had been during their first kiss. “If I kiss you, you will be mine from now on.” She imitated the tone of President Ba and the female protagonist in the novel she was reading, and could not help but look annoyed after she finished speaking, “Ew, what kind of words are these? Why are they so mushy? Zhuang Hong, you have to give my sister your blessing so she can leave the hellish Lu family.”
Cen Zhu had been so looking forward to it back then, but now that she had left the Lu family, she was covered in injuries. Did a marriage really torture women this way? Cen Shuang looked at Zhuang Hong, who could not possibly open his eyes on the bed. Boyan had said that he might wake up, but Zhuang Hong did not know about their marriage. If he really woke up one day, would she still be married to him? “Zhuang Hong, will we always be like this?”
Sounds came from downstairs. Cen Shuang thought that Cen Zhu had returned, so she put on her slippers and ran out. Zhuang Tinghao watched as Cen Shuang ran down the stairs wearing a nightgown. Instantly, his blood boiled, and he could not stop his wandering gaze.
On the landing, Cen Shuang stood stunned as she saw Zhuang Tinghao and another man standing in the door frame. Their gazes met, and her entire body felt cold suddenly, like someone had poured an entire bucket of cold water on her. Before the people downstairs could say anything, she turned and ran back to her room. Zhuang Tinghao’s eyes followed the enchanting figure and were filled with infatuation. He could not help but say, “If I could sleep with her for one night, I wouldn’t mind dying the next day.”
Yang Jinyan, who was beside him, frowned. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but when he looked at Zhuang Tinghao, his eyes were clear. “Brother Zhuang, be careful what you say.”
Yang Jinyan’s voice brought Zhuang Tinghao back to his senses. “What are you afraid of? She will be my woman sooner or later.”
The incident that had caused Zhuang Hong to be injured happened half a year ago. The Zhuang family had announced to the public that he had gone abroad to further his studies. However, it was impossible to hide what had happened in this circle.
