Mr. Yu: "What did she do? She’s your wife, don’t you know what she did?"
"The Yu Family is about to be ruined by her...."
Yu Xiaochi forced a stiff smile, "This, this... can’t be possible."
His inner unease spread to its peak, and his hand shook while holding the phone.
Su Li’s phone was perpetually unreachable, and he could only call the elder brother-in-law, resulting in Su Ruwen’s cold mockery.
Yu Xiaochi felt both awkward and bewildered.
Previously, his relationship with the elder brother-in-law Su Ruwen wasn’t exemplary, but it wasn’t bad either. He never expected him to have such an attitude, practically treating him as an enemy.
Yu Xiaochi finally realized he was trapped by his son and Bai Jingrou, completely clueless about recent events.
He looked towards Mr. Yu with confusion, "Dad, Daddy, what exactly is happening?"
Mr. Yu: "The Yu Family is nearly finished. The Chaoyang Group has joined forces with several companies to besiege the Yu Family, and we can’t hold out much longer."
"Chaoyang Group?" Yu Xiaochi was ordered by the elder to stay ho with his wife, transferring many company affairs out. He recently even went abroad with his son and Bai Jingrou, oblivious to various big events in the circle, which was astonishing.
Or perhaps soone had purposefully hidden things from him, wanting to see them panicked and helpless.
"I asked old friends from past relations, and they said we found ourselves an exceptionally formidable daughter-in-law...."
"Many pieces of evidence indicate that in events targeting the Yu Family enterprises, your wife’s involvent is unavoidable..."
Yu Xiaochi murmured in despair, "How could it be this way?"
"Is Mr. Yu Xiaochi here? I am a lawyer specially appointed by Ms. Su Li, and I am here to discuss the divorce agreent with you."
The lawyer, wearing gold-rimd glasses and holding a briefcase, appeared before everyone under the guidance of the maid.
Yu Xiaochi gnashed his teeth, his original disbelief in his wife’s heartlessness quickly shattering.
"I won’t divorce. Where’s Su Li? Have her co and tell herself. I just want to ask her why she’s so cruel, showing no leniency. I let her down, but when has the Yu Family ever wronged her?"
The lawyer chuckled, "I am honored to enlighten Mr. Yu on that matter."
"Does Mr. Yu not know that in business, as in war, there is no room for sentint? You’ve had the elite family education, surely you understand this."
Though spoken politely, Yu Xiaochi felt mocked.
Lawyer: "Moreover, I suggest accepting my client’s request; she doesn’t want things to get too ugly. After all, there’s undeniable evidence of Mr. Yu’s infidelity that cannot be erased."
The lawyer directed his gaze at Yu Liqi for a few seconds, with a pointed implication.
Yu Xiaochi grew agitated, "I refuse. Let Su Li co and say it herself...."
"Agree to it." Mr. Yu demanded sternly, "Agree to it."
Mr. Yu: "But under one condition."
Lawyer: "Please specify."
Mr. Yu: "I need Su Li to promise to withdraw her actions against the Yu Family."
"She’s truly capable; I even tried to estimate her highly but still underestimated her. Had I known...."
The lawyer pretended not to hear the latter comnts, maintaining a courteous smile, "Ms. Su Li said that you, elder, are the only rational person in the Yu Family. She knew you’d agree, and is willing, out of forr consideration, to make a small concession."
Mr. Yu felt as if his heart was about to burst with anger, as though being manipulated deftly like a mouse under control, his every action anticipated perfectly.
Yet he had no way to resist.
Yu Xiaochi was reluctantly pressured by his father to sign the divorce papers, his mood heavy as he looked up, seeing his father’s unfriendly gaze directed towards his son.
Su Li: "Is everything done? I hear that the little illegitimate child of the elder is only ten years old? Well, he’s quite young, and it wouldn’t be right to leave a child struggling for necessities, would it?"
Truly unexpected that the elder, in his advanced age, could still father a son younger than his grandson.
The Yu Family’s business is vast, but Mr. Yu himself isn’t the most upright person; the company harbors plenty of rotten matters.
Su Li chose well, collapsing most of their foundation at once.
Now, with Mr. Yu returning to the helm, the remaining assets have been barely retained, with the estate shrunk by eighty percent.
Now Mr. Yu’s primary resentnt, second to Su Li, is against his once-proud son, Yu Xiaochi.
The elder’s ten-year-old illegitimate child was brought back to the Yu Family, and now Mrs. Yu personally experiences the bitter taste of being a stepmother.
Moreover, Mr. Yu guards against Mrs. Yu and Yu Xiaochi as if guarding against thieves, fearing they might harm his newly favored child.
The Yu Family is in complete disarray now; one night, Bai Jingrou left quietly without a word, never seeing her son again.
Yu Xiaochi sought out Su Li several tis but all efforts yielded nothing.
In the circle, Su Li had beco a legend, stirring trouble, with a malevolent and unruly nature, often encouraging the wives and daughters to cause various outrages, leading them astray, bewildering them....
Nurous industry leaders, family heads, hated her deeply, while morally questionable n feared her.... Yet the won in those families worshipped her like cult devotees or loathed her like a demon.
Even the Xiu Mountain Villa beca a taboo in every family, where every resident was toxic, with ruthless and cruel hearts.

extra (part one)
In an apartnt over a hundred square ters, cries could be heard again, irritating the neighbors on the sa floor.
Since a family of three moved in a few months ago, the disturbances never ceased.
Whenever the lady of that household was there, any ti, day or night, could bring forth piercing, nerve-racking noise.
Luckily, she didn’t stay often, maybe returning once or twice a week. Were they to endure such torture daily, they’d surely revolt, even force the tenants to sell and leave.
Yet the father and son residing there were odd, pleasant-looking, yet always wearing sullen expressions, unpleasing and antisocial.
Truly, the world is full of various people.
And the father-son pair, widely gossiped by the entire floor, was gloomily silent, having dinner, indifferent to the chaotic, loud Mrs. Yu in the living room.
