56: Chapter 56 Wen Yulan's Divorce

"Be good, I'm leaving."

Su Xincheng nodded, tucked herself back into the blanket, leaving only her head exposed, and watched him with watery eyes.

Wang Yang got dressed, walked to the door, and looked back at her.

Su Xincheng was looking at him, smiling sweetly.

Wang Yang smiled, pulled the door open, and walked out.

...

An hour later.

The black X5M drove along the city's main thoroughfare.

Sunlight shone in through the car window, warm and cozy.

Wang Yang held the steering wheel with one hand and rested the other on the gear shifter, a faint smile on his lips.

Another twenty million had just come in.

Added to what he had before, he now had over thirty million in hand.

That was enough to spend.

But he wasn't satisfied.

It was far from enough.

He remembered what the system had just said—Su Xincheng had successfully conceived.

This was the third one.

Zhao Yaqin, Wen Yulan, Su Xincheng.

Chen Xuemiao hadn't conceived yet.

Wang Yang frowned.

He needed to put in more effort with Chen Xuemiao.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered something.

"System."

[Ding! Please go ahead, Host.]

Wang Yang said.

"I should have completed the 'Four Consecutive Strikes' by now, right? What about the reward?"

Silence.

A few seconds later, the system's mechanical voice sounded, carrying a hint of subtle guilt.

[Ding! Checking...]

[Check complete! Congratulations to the Host for completing the 'Four Consecutive Strikes' mission! Because the system was busy monitoring the Host's nighttime activities, it neglected to issue the reward. We apologize for this.]

Wang Yang's mouth twitched.

Same old excuse.

"So, where is the reward?"

[Ding! Issuing 'Four Consecutive Strikes' reward...]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: 100% equity in the Shunda Car Rental Company in Fenghua County! This company is one of the largest car rental companies in Fenghua County.]

[It owns over 80 vehicles of various types, with an annual turnover of approximately 20 million yuan. The relevant procedures have been completed, and the equity documents are stored in the Host's system space, ready for review and signing at any time.]

Wang Yang was stunned.

Fenghua County?

The one back in his hometown?

Shunda Car Rental Company...

He seemed to have heard of it.

One of the largest car rental agencies in the county.

They did wedding rentals, business rentals, and self-drive rentals; business was quite booming.

100% equity meant the entire company was his.

Wang Yang smiled.

He hadn't expected the reward to be from his hometown.

And it was the entire company, just like that.

Perfect.

He would be going home for the New Year soon; having this company in hand would make things convenient.

He pressed the accelerator, the car sped up, and he drove forward.

Just then, his phone rang.

Wang Yang picked it up and looked.

A message from Wen Yulan.

[Xiaoyang, I've finished handling things on my end; the divorce procedures are done. Do you have time to come pick me up?]

Followed by a location pin.

Wang Yang's lips curled up.

Sister Wen had finished things on her end too.

He typed a reply.

[Be there soon.]

He put down his phone, turned the steering wheel, and the black X5M merged into another lane.

...

In an old residential complex in the east of the city.

Wen Yulan stood in the middle of the living room.

Looking at this place where she had lived for five years, she felt an indescribable complexity in her heart.

The living room wasn't big, the decor was dated, and the sofa was an old style.

There was still an ashtray on the coffee table, stuffed full of cigarette butts.

The wedding photo that used to hang on the wall had been taken down, leaving only two white marks.

She had come today to pack her things.

The divorce procedures were finished; it was completely over.

Wen Yulan was wearing a long, black, form-fitting knitted dress that hugged her body tightly.

It outlined her slender waist and rounded curves.

She had a camel-colored cashmere coat on over it, left open, revealing her figure underneath.

Her legs were wrapped in black stockings, which shimmered faintly under the indoor lights.

She wore a pair of black ankle boots, making her look tall and sexy.

She bent down and took clothes out of the cabinet.

Folding them one by one, she placed them into the suitcase beside her.

Footsteps came from behind.

Wen Yulan didn't turn around.

Li San stood at the doorway, leaning against the door frame with his hands in his pockets, watching her.

"Packing up pretty fast, huh."

His voice was lazy, carrying a hint of mockery.

Wen Yulan ignored him and continued folding her clothes.

Li San watched her, and suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.

They had been married for five years, and she had taken care of him for five years.

Washing, cooking, cleaning—she hadn't missed a single chore.

When he came home from work, there was always a hot meal waiting.

When he returned from business trips, she was always waiting at the door.

But he had never really looked at Wen Yulan properly.

He thought she was annoying, clingy, and boring.

The women outside were so much better—young, pretty, knew how to act cute, knew how to coax him.

But now...

He looked at Wen Yulan's back, at the curves outlined when she bent over.

He suddenly felt that she didn't seem so bad after all.

Li San spoke up.

"Wen Yulan."

Wen Yulan finally raised her head and glanced at him.

Her gaze was very cold, as if she were looking at a stranger.

Li San felt a bit choked up.

He smiled and said deliberately.

"Do you know why I never liked you?"

Wen Yulan didn't speak.

Li San continued, his tone malicious.

"Because you're a hen that can't lay eggs. We've been married for five years, and there hasn't been a peep from your belly. How many times has my mom nagged us? You can't conceive, and you blame me?"

Wen Yulan's expression changed instantly.

Li San watched her reaction and felt satisfied.

He continued.

"The woman I found outside is already pregnant. Three months along. Do you know what that means? It means the problem is with you, not me."

Wen Yulan gripped the clothes in her hands tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at him.

"Li San."

Li San raised an eyebrow.

Wen Yulan said, enunciating every word.

"Do you know why I couldn't conceive?"

Li San was taken aback.

Wen Yulan smiled, her smile full of sarcasm.

"Because you're impotent."

Li San's expression changed.

Wen Yulan continued.

"You think I didn't know? That woman you found outside isn't pregnant at all. She's lying to you. She's taking your money and fooling around with other men. I've had the evidence for a long time; I just never told you."

Li San's eyes widened.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Wen Yulan sneered.

"Don't believe me? Then go back and ask her where she really went last time she told you she was going for a prenatal check-up. Have you ever seen the records from the OB-GYN department at the People's Hospital?"

Li San's face flushed red.

He took a step forward, raised his hand, and was about to slap her.

Wen Yulan didn't dodge; she just looked at him coldly.

That gaze was too cold, as cold as ice.

Li San's hand stopped in mid-air; he didn't dare let it fall.

He gritted his teeth, glared at her fiercely, and turned to leave.

Wen Yulan stood where she was, watching his retreating back.

There was not a ripple in her heart.

No anger.

Not even a little bit angry.

Because her heart was filled with someone else.

Wang Yang.

The man who had only eyes for her.

Wen Yulan remembered the way Wang Yang looked at her—gentle, intense, filled with tenderness and possessiveness.

She remembered the things he had said.

"Follow me from now on, and I won't treat you badly."

She remembered the sense of security she felt when he held her.

A smile slowly curled onto Wen Yulan's lips.
