Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The rise of “Star Glory” was like a rocket taking off. It did not fall as Yan Zhang had expected at the beginning.

Because a large number of artistes kept changing jobs to “Star glory,” coupled with the continuous escalation of the impact of the affair a while ago, even the shares of the Yan Corporation were affected. They quickly fell several points overnight.

Father Yan angrily threw the report on Yan Zhang’s face and cursed.

“Trash!”

His eyes were round and he pointed at Yan Zhang’s nose and scolded angrily, “You couldn’t control your lower body and now a woman has made the company look like this!”

Yan Zhang lowered his head with an embarrassed expression and didn’t say a word.

Father Yan looked at him coldly and said mercilessly, “Yan Zhang, I’ll give you a month. If you can’t settle this matter, you don’t have to sit in this CEO’s position anymore!”

After sending Father Yan off, Yan Zhang’s face darkened. He flung all the items on the table and smashed them onto the ground.

He scratched his hair in annoyance. He hated Jiang Zhi who didn’t know how to appreciate favors.

Why was she not willing to help him cover up now?!

Wasn’t it perfect like how they didn’t interfere with each other’s lives before?

Yan Zhang called his assistant and used his assistant’s phone to call her. The other party quickly picked up.

This time, Yan Zhang lowered his attitude.

“Jiang Zhi, let’s have a good talk.”

Jiang Zhi raised her eyebrows and said calmly, “Other than the division of property, there’s nothing much to talk about between us.”

Yan Zhang could not hold it in any longer. He slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, “Jiang Zhi, do you have to be so ruthless?”

“It’s fine if it’s over, but you don’t have to drag both our reputations down the mud.”

Yan Zhang narrowed his eyes and threatened, “Other than me, you can’t find a more suitable marriage partner!”

Jiang Zhi suddenly laughed, “Yan Zhang, where did you find the gall to say that you’re actually suitable for marriage?

“All the men in the world are dead, and it’s not up to you, Yan Zhang, to say that.

“Is your brain in your lower body? Can’t you understand human language?

“Other than the court session, Don’t disturb me when you have nothing else to do.

“Of course, don’t look for me if you have something to do!”

After saying that, she hung up the phone without giving Yan Zhang any time to reply.

Yan Zhang was so angry that he started smashing things in the office.

Seeing that the deadline given by Father Yan was getting closer and closer and that his attitude towards him was getting more and more displeased, Yan Zhang could no longer hide it.

He clenched his fists tightly and was finally willing to tell the truth. “Dad, Mom, actually, Jiang Zhi wants to divorce me.”

“What?!”

Father Yan was so angry that he pointed at Yan Zhang’s nose and didn’t know where to begin scolding him. “Why didn’t you say something as important as a divorce earlier?!”

Yan Zhang pulled a long face and pursed his thin lips. “It’s as if Jiang Zhi has suddenly changed into a different person…”

“You must have provoked her!”

Father Yan was very dissatisfied with Yan Zhang now. For the sake of the messy woman outside, he had dragged down the company’s shares and was about to lose the marriage alliance with the Jiang Family!

Mother Yan thought about it for a moment and decided that she could not let it continue to develop. “Let me persuade Ah Zhi.”

She had been friends with Jiang Zhi’s biological mother. Although the old friend had passed away, Mother Yan had watched Jiang Zhi grow up. She had a particularly good impression of the kind and obedient Jiang Zhi.

She did not believe that Jiang Zhi would be so heartless.

When Jiang Zhi received mother Yan’s call, she was very surprised.

Because of her mother, Jiang Zhi was also very respectful to Mother Yan.

“Mom, what’s the matter?”

“Ah Zhi, why haven’t you come home for dinner for so long?”

Mother Yan started it off very tactfully, but Jiang Zhi immediately understood her reason for calling.

“Yan Zhang told you guys?”

Mother Yan sighed. “Zhang’er, this child, doesn’t have any ill intentions. He’s just a little playful. Ah Zhi, marriage is not a child’s game. You mustn’t act rashly.”

“I know that Zhang’er has aggrieved you this time. Don’t worry. From now on, I’ll discipline Zhang’er properly on your behalf!”

Jiang Zhi lowered her eyes. Her gaze was dark and unclear, so she did not reply.

Mother Yan continued, “I can make the decision. I’ll give you the shares of Zhang’er’s entertainment company. You can go to the company to supervise him. If Zhang’er does anything that you’re dissatisfied with, you can tell me!”

Since Mother Yan had laid out her hand, Jiang Zhi had no choice but to express her stance.

She smiled bitterly and said, “It’s not about the shares.”

“You know Yan Zhang better than I do. Do you think it’s possible to make him change?”

Mother Yan fell silent.

Jiang Zhi continued, “Your heart aches for me. Can’t you see I’m only in my twenties? I don’t want to live like this for the rest of my life.”

Seeing that Jiang Zhi seemed to have made up her mind, Mother Yan relented.

“Ah Zhi, Zhang’er has made you suffer. The Yan family has let you down.”

Mother Yan sighed softly, “But if you insist on getting a divorce, can you please wait a little longer?”

“The Yan family has been greatly affected by Zhang’er’s matter. If a divorce were to break out at this time, I’m afraid the Yan family would suffer even greater turmoil.”

Jiang Zhi looked at her nails for a long time before she slowly agreed.

“Alright, I will temporarily withdraw the lawsuit. However, I will move out of the Yan family. After the storm has passed, this marriage must be annuled.”
