Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 402 Can’t go back

Yan Xue was stunned by the loud slap.

After she came to her senses, her voice was sharp with disbelief: "Liu Jinnian, how dare you hit me? Your mother hit me, and you hit me too? I'm not finished with you!"

At this moment, she had lost all her former dignity. Ignoring the mess around her, she rushed forward and started fighting with Liu Jinnian.

During their struggle, their clothes were crumpled and their hair came loose. Neither of them was willing to back down. Liu Jinnian shook off her hand, his eyes as cold as ice, and said, "We're getting a divorce," before refusing to look at her again.

"You shrew! My son should never have been so blind as to marry you!"

Liu Yuli jumped up and down, cursing, her tone full of regret.

When she first saw that Yan Xue came from a good family and was well-behaved and beautiful, she was a world apart from the divorced nurse Yan Lan, so she was determined to match her with Liu Jinnian.

But looking at it now, although Yan Lan was divorced, she at least gave birth to a child for the Liu family and was very considerate to Liu Jinnian. Unlike Yan Xue, who has been arrogant and domineering ever since she entered the Liu family, causing chaos in the house.

What worries Liu Yuli even more is her poor granddaughter, Liu Shiyu.

When she was with Yan Lan, Liu Shiyu was well-behaved and sensible, and her grades were outstanding. She was a top student praised by everyone.

But everything changed after Yan Xue arrived.

Liu Shiyu started dating indiscriminately, got pregnant at a young age, her studies plummeted, and she eventually broke up with Song Chi, ending up with a tragic death.

In Liu Yuli's mind, this debt was entirely Yan Xue's fault.

"Want a divorce? Not so easy!"

Even though Yan Xue was trembling with anger, she didn't lose her temper. She knew all too well that once she got divorced, her dream of becoming the "richest man's wife" would be completely shattered.

She glared fiercely at Yan Lan beside her, then looked at Liu Jinnian, her eyes filled with obsession.

Even if she holds onto this man and refuses to let go, she absolutely cannot let Yan Lan get away with it! In her opinion, Yan Lan's appearance at this particular moment is clearly just an excuse to watch her make a fool of herself and take the opportunity to reconcile with Liu Jinnian.

Yan Lan shook her head, no longer wanting to pay attention to this group of lunatics. She was more concerned about the whereabouts of the prescription. The elevator, being the crime scene, had been cordoned off by the police, so she had to go down the stairs.

She needed to find Siqin to find out the exact whereabouts of that prescription.

She had just stepped down the stairs when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.

It was Liu Jinnian; he caught up with them.

Liu Jinnian quickly caught up and reached out to grab Yan Lan's wrist, but she dodged him. "Yan Lan, don't go, let's talk this over." His voice carried a hint of urgency that was hard to detect. "Yan Xue and I have already come to this point, and divorce is inevitable. I was foolish to choose her back then, and now I just want to make up with you."

Yan Lan didn't stop walking, her tone cold and unwavering: "Liu Jinnian, there's no need to talk. The words 'make up' carry no weight coming from your mouth."

“I know I was wrong,” Liu Jinnian took two more steps forward, blocking her path. “I shouldn’t have listened to my mother, shouldn’t have ignored your kindness, and most importantly, I shouldn’t have chosen Yan Xue and hurt you. I’m already talking to Yan Xue about a divorce. Once we’re divorced, we can go back to how things were before—”

“There’s no going back.” Yan Lan interrupted him directly, her eyes showing no hesitation. “Although I’m divorced from Qin Shi, he still holds a place in my heart. There’s no way we can get back together, and there’s even less chance with you.”

Liu Jinnian was stunned, as if he hadn't expected her to say that, and his tone was filled with resentment: "Just because of Qin Shi? Or because I chose Yan Xue back then? But I already know I was wrong, I can make it up to you, whatever you want, I can give you..."

“It has nothing to do with Qin Shi, it’s because of you.” Yan Lan looked at him, her tone unusually calm, but every word pierced his heart. “Back when you chose Yan Xue without hesitation, I had already completely let you go. That’s just my personality; once I let go, I will never pick it up again.”

"Yan Lan, it's not what you think!"

Liu Jinnian stepped forward, his voice urgent, "The reason I married Yan Xue was entirely because of her! She told me she had the ability to foresee the future, and that as long as I was with her, I would definitely become the richest person in the world. I was confused for a moment, that's why I chose her!"

Yan Lan looked up at him, her eyes indifferent and without any ripples. After he finished speaking, she gently shook her head, her tone calm to the point of being indifferent.

"Liu Jinnian, I don't believe a single word of what you're saying."

"It's true! I'm not lying to you!" Liu Jinnian hurriedly defended himself, leaning closer as if afraid she wouldn't believe him. "She spoke so convincingly back then, and my mother was egging me on, that's why I lost my mind. If I had known she was lying to me, if I had known it would turn out like this, I would never have chosen her, and I would never have broken up with you."

“None of that matters anymore.” Yan Lan interrupted him, taking a half step back to create distance between them. “Whether you chose her because of ‘predicting the future’ or for some other reason, the result is the same. You chose her, and I let you go. That’s enough.”

After saying that, she walked around Liu Jinnian.

Liu Jinnian stood there, watching her receding figure, his fingers clenched until they turned white, his heart filled with mixed emotions—regret, resentment, and a touch of indescribable bitterness.

After a long while, he slowly took out his phone, dialed a number, and when the other end answered, he coldly uttered four words: "Plan as usual."

Yan Xue initially thought that Liu Jinnian had only said those words in a fit of anger, but to her surprise, she received a lawyer's letter from Liu Jinnian's lawyer the next day.

She was immediately furious and took the lawyer's letter to Si Chu, asking him to take charge of her case.

Little did she know that as soon as she rushed into Si Chu's office, she saw Si Chu whispering something to Bai Xiaoyu, his expression extremely serious.

The two men noticed her coming in, their voices abruptly stopped, their expressions subtly changed, and a hint of panic flashed in their eyes.

Yan Xue paused at the doorway, not daring to step forward rashly, but the words "Curve Chief" faintly drifted into her ears.

These two words were too abrupt and had no connection to the current situation, which made her feel uneasy and full of doubt.

"Cousin, what are you two talking about?" Yan Xue's voice was deliberately lighthearted, but her gaze kept shifting between Si Chu and Bai Xiaoyu.

Bai Xiaoyu was someone she had specifically sought out to be Si Chu's secretary, but judging from the way the two of them were whispering together just now, and the inexplicable tacit understanding when their eyes met, they didn't seem like they had just met. On the contrary, it seemed like they had been familiar with each other for a long time, which deepened her doubts.
