Chapter 16

Shen Qingyue’s tone was relaxed, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. “They are not worth your anger. Be careful not to get angry and ruin your health. Just treat them as strangers.”

Chen Ying was silent for a long time. “Qingyue, you’ve been so strange recently. You’re so calm that it’s not like you.”

Shen Qingyue sat up from the bed and tucked her hair behind her ear with one hand, “I’ve given up. Naturally, I won’t go crazy for him anymore. I don’t love him anymore, so I can see everything clearly.”

She spoke lightly, but Chen Ying couldn’t help but feel heartache. To say those words, Shen Qingyue must have struggled alone for countless days and nights, enduring numerous wounds. Chen Ying said, “Are you free tonight? Let’s go to Moonlight and have a few drinks. I feel like drinking.”

Shen Qingyue replied, “Alright, let’s meet tonight.”

Chen Ying put away her phone and started plotting in her mind. She wanted to show Qingyue the joy of being a wealthy woman! What man? Ha, he was just a pastime!

Qin Zhen went to the hotel to pick up Wei Jiu’er and was about to go for dinner. However, as soon as the car left the parking lot, someone called him to meet up at Moonlight. He thought for a moment and then gave in.

However, when they walked in hand in hand, the people in the private room had different expressions.

“Zhen, who is this lady?”

Qin Zhen replied simply, “Wei Jiu’er.”

“Ah!” Zhou Sui recalled something. “Wei Jiu’er, isn’t she your girlfriend from university?”

Zhou Sui and Qin Zhen had been childhood friends, so they naturally knew about the past. After a pause, he asked Qin Zhen, “Are you two…together now?”

This was the question that everyone present wanted to ask. A year ago, Qin Zhen and Shen Qingyue’s wedding was held in a dreamy and grand manner. At that time, the Qin family and Shen family’s stocks had risen quite a bit. How long had it been? Qin Zhen had brazenly gotten together with his first girlfriend? They were rich people and were more open-minded, but they still had sizes. How could they bring their lovers to a gathering of serious friends?

Qin Zhen didn’t know how to answer Zhou Sui’s question. He hadn’t divorced Shen Qingyue yet, so bringing Wei Jiu’er here was impulsive on his part, and it would also affect Jiu’er’s reputation.

Wei Jiu’er smiled gently and answered for Qin Zhen, “Zhen and I are just friends for now.”

This ‘for now’ was very clever. Everyone started to talk about other things. Because there were a few young ladies who came tonight, Wei Jiu’er was pulled over to chat with them.

He took the opportunity to go to Qin Zhen’s side and asked in a low voice, “You slept with Wei Jiu’er last night, and everyone knows about it. Is that true?”

“Nonsense! Jiu’er and I are innocent!” Qin Zhen frowned.

“It’s already spread everywhere, and I don’t know who started it.” Zhou Sui glanced at Wei Jiu’er. “But did you really do nothing with her?”

“Nothing happened.” He had been with Wei Jiu’er at the hotel last night, but only to keep watch over her.

“That makes it easier. Go back and explain to Sister-in-law, and apologize properly. This news spreads quickly, and Sister-in-law has probably seen it too. Who knows how upset she is! Even if you’re going to do something… you should be more discreet. Sister-in-law has been good to you. Don’t lose her because of your ex-girlfriend. It’s not worth it,” Zhou Sui advised.

When Shen Qingyue was mentioned, Qin Zhen felt a tightness in his chest. “She’s already asking for a divorce from me. What’s there to explain?”

Besides, he did not have the habit of explaining things to Shen Qingyue.

“You want to divorce Sister-in-law for Wei Jiu’er? Qin Zhen, are you alright?”

“She’s the one that wants the divorce,” Qin Zhen frowned and said.

Zhou Sui laughed directly. “Ha? You’re joking with me, right?”

Qin Zhen pursed his lips. It seemed like no one believed that Shen Qingyue would voluntarily ask for a divorce, not even him. However, the fact was that Shen Qingyue had indeed brought up the idea of divorce. The woman who professed to love him so much had let go just like that.

However, upon careful consideration, Qin Zhen did not find it surprising. What couldn’t Shen Qingyue abandon? If she truly loved him as she appeared, she would not have left him when he needed help the most five years ago. He had long seen through that woman’s true nature!

“She has already signed the divorce agreement, and she was the one who asked me to bring Wei Jiu’er back. What do you think?” Qin Zhen said.

Zhou Sui finally believed that he was not joking and fell silent.

…

When Shen Qingyue arrived at Moonlight, she had not found Chen Ying and bumped into Wei Jiu’er holding Qin Zhen’s arm as she came out. Beside them were a few people who were talking and laughing. They were all people from Qin Zhen’s circle.

When the group of people saw her, the relaxed and happy expressions on their faces instantly disappeared, leaving only awkwardness. After all, it was awkward for the legal wife to catch her husband with his mistress in a secret meeting.

However, Qin Zhen’s expression did not change, as if this was a matter of course.
