When Chen Wei walked in, she imdiately saw Ye Yuning’s face streaked with tears.
A tightness clenched her heart, and she hurried forward. "Boss, you, you..."
Just a mont ago, she had heard from Luo Xin that the housekeeper from Shanyu Pavilion had delivered all of Ye Yuning’s belongings. Worried, Chen Wei had rushed over to check.
And there she saw Ye Yuning in such a state, with the divorce certificate lying before her!
Chen Wei sighed. She wanted to offer comfort, yet for a mont, she didn’t know what to say. Ye Yuning’s marriage had been so sudden; they had all struggled to process it. Now, just as they had co to terms with the fact Ye Yuning was married, she was already divorced.
Just as Chen Wei was wondering what to say, Luo Xin knocked on the door and entered. "Boss, Miss Tang is here."
"Let her in quickly," Chen Wei said before Ye Yuning could speak.
Tang Xi’s arrival couldn’t be better, Chen Wei thought. The boss is willing to share anything with her. With the boss so downcast, Tang Xi’s arrival is truly like rain in a drought.
Chen Wei then said to Ye Yuning, "Talking to Miss Tang might make you feel a bit better."
With that, she turned and left.
In less than a minute, Tang Xi entered, her high heels clicking.
When she saw Ye Yuning in such a state, she too was taken aback. Having been classmates with Ye Yuning for so many years, she naturally knew just how tough Ye Yuning could be. In all those years, who had ever seen Ye Yuning weep like this? Even when Xiao Shuo had acted like such a jerk, Ye Yuning’s eyes hadn’t even reddened. This ti, it seed she had truly fallen in love.
Catching sight of the divorce certificate in front of Ye Yuning, Tang Xi snatched it up and examined it.
"So, you’re divorced just like that?"
Her shocked gaze turned to Ye Yuning. She probably understood now why Ye Yuning was crying so hard. Before this, she had thought their divorce would be very complicated and take a lot of ti. But now...!
Ye Yuning said, "Once he was convinced the child wasn’t his, was there any need for to struggle anymore?"
The child! Tang Xi registered. He wasn’t just suspicious; he was utterly convinced.
Hearing Ye Yuning’s words, Tang Xi felt a deep pang of sympathy for her. Who could understand that feeling? To have the most joyful, anticipated thing in your heart outright denied by the person you love most. If it had simply been suspicion, perhaps Ye Yuning wouldn’t be so heartbroken. But Xiao Linye’s certainty was like a knife plunged directly into her heart. Everything had not gone according to the plan she and Xia Andai had made.
"Are you still planning to leave Upper City now?" Tang Xi asked.
She didn’t ask if Ye Yuning still wanted the child; clearly, a woman is most vulnerable at such a ti, and the child was also the issue Ye Yuning found most difficult to face.
When asked if she was leaving Upper City, Ye Yuning lowered her head. She wanted to say sothing, but at that mont, she was too choked with emotion to utter a single word.
Seeing her in such a state, Tang Xi sighed even more deeply. "That Xiao Linye is really going too far."
But this was sothing she only dared say behind his back. After all, the Xiao Family was not an entity any of them could afford to confront. In this matter, Tang Xi felt that Ye Yuning was truly swallowing bitter pills without protest.
"I don’t know. I don’t know anything right now." Ye Yuning shook her head.
Regarding her future, whether to leave Upper City or not, she truly didn’t know.
Tang Xi was silent for a mont. Right, she thought. Back when she and Jiang Bo had that huge fight—even though it was hysterical at the ti—when it really ca to the divorce, even though Jiang Bo was such a scoundrel, she still spent a few days in a daze, completely unsure of what to do or how to proceed.
"You should try to calm down for now," Tang Xi said gently.
As for the plans she had discussed with Xia Andai, they now seed aningless. With Xiao Linye and Ye Yuning divorced, and him not acknowledging the child, they were thoroughly finished with each other from the day Ye Yuning received the divorce papers.
When Tang Xi ntioned calming down, Ye Yuning felt as if her heart was being ruthlessly torn apart.
Her eyes reddened as she took a deep breath. "Xi Xi, we haven’t seen each other for a week."
"What?"
"Ever since we had that argunt over the child that day, he hasn’t co to look for ," Ye Yuning continued, her voice trembling. "Even after finding out my real identity later, he didn’t co to find either."
This showed just how cold and absolute Xiao Linye’s attitude was in this matter, Tang Xi thought, horrified. He hadn’t even bothered with a single question, nor had he deigned to hear even a fraction of Ye Yuning’s explanation!
Tang Xi was shocked. "You haven’t seen each other at all in a week?"
"Right," Ye Yuning nodded. At that mont, the tears in her eyes uncontrollably slid down her cheeks.
Tang Xi stared in disbelief. This!
Sighing once more, Tang Xi said, "That’s why I say, when n beco heartless, they really are colder than anyone. Many people say that nothing is more venomous than a woman’s heart, but in my opinion, it’s when n beco heartless that they are truly terrifying. After Xiao Linye found out your true identity, he didn’t even deign to see you!"
Ye Yuning said nothing.
Yes, colder than anyone, she thought. The Xiao Linye of today, in her opinion, was truly just as the rumors described.
"But no matter what, the fact that he’s not coming after you right now ans you should count your lucky stars," Tang Xi said.
Ye Yuning was silent.
Coming after ? she wondered. But Xiao Linye had shown no reaction at all; he had cleanly and decisively cut off all ties with her.
