Upon entering, Ye Leng’an could immediately sense the oppressive atmosphere in the living room.

Seeing Zhong Yating kneeling on the ground, she couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Though unsure of the situation, it was apparent this was no trivial matter.

Especially considering it was the New Year, yet they were willing to wait for over two hours. The severity of the situation was evident.

After Huangfu Ruiling entered and sat on one of the empty sofas, he took a moment to observe before slowly speaking, “What’s going on? Getting a divorce during the New Year?”

Ye Leng’an was also curious.

While they had a rough idea that Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating seemed headed for divorce, the exact reasons were unclear. Moreover, it seemed Zhong Yating was at fault from the current perspective.

“Zhong Yating is a malicious woman. If she isn’t divorced, Ruixiang will be in danger sooner or later.”

Before Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating could speak, Zhongyu Liuying intervened, “They must divorce now. Our Huangfu family can’t tolerate such a woman.”

As Zhongyu Liuying spoke, her gaze toward Zhong Yating held no softness, only malice and hatred.

Though Zhong Yating seemed to want to speak up, she remained silent. Perhaps she didn’t know how to defend herself yet.

“That’s right,” Huangfu Jingzhang chimed in, echoing Zhongyu Liuying’s sentiments. “Zhong Yating is too vicious. She wanted to harm Ruixiang’s life. We cannot let her stay.”

From the start, he never envisioned having a daughter-in-law like Zhong Yating. Given her humble background and low cultivation, she held no appeal to them.

Had it not been for her saving Huangfu Ruixiang later on, they wouldn’t have agreed to this marriage. But now, realizing it was all a deception and that Zhong Yating had plotted against Ruixiang, there was no room for forgiveness.

After learning all of this, how could they possibly tolerate Zhong Yating anymore?

Moreover, Huangfu Ruixiang was still very young. Without Zhong Yating, he could find someone even better. Or rather, with the status of the Huangfu family and the fact that Huangfu Ruiling was the head of the Hidden World’s Huangfu family, Huangfu Ruixiang could effortlessly find a girl hundreds of times better than Zhong Yating.

So, there was no need for further discussion – divorce was the only option.

While Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying expressed their opinions eagerly, Huangfu Ruixiang, the principal party, remained silent, leaving his thoughts ambiguous.

Huangfu Ruiling frowned and turned directly to Huangfu Ruixiang. “What about you? Do you also want a divorce?”

“I…” Huangfu Ruixiang had just begun to speak when he was interrupted.

“I don’t want a divorce.” At this moment, Zhong Yating, kneeling on the ground, spoke up. Her face was pallid, probably from kneeling for too long, and she appeared on the verge of collapsing as if she might faint at any moment. However, her expression was resolute. “I absolutely won’t agree to a divorce.”

“It’s not up to you to decide whether you agree or not.” Zhongyu Liuying glared harshly at Zhong Yating. “To marry Ruixiang, you even orchestrated the attack by a spirit beast to create that so-called debt of gratitude. Have you ever considered that your actions could have killed Ruixiang? After doing such a thing, what right do you have to refuse a divorce here?”

With these words spoken, both Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an immediately understood what was going on.

So, the reason for today’s commotion was the exposure of the past life-saving favor!

Zhong Yating was left speechless by the accusations, but she remained firm on one point – she absolutely wouldn’t agree to divorce Huangfu Ruixiang.

Seeing Zhong Yating’s stubbornness, Li Yiran felt a hint of urgency in her heart. Initially, she thought that once Huangfu Ruiling arrived, he would immediately demand a divorce between Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating. However, now they were at a standstill, and she started to worry about whether something unexpected might happen in the end.

However anxious she felt, she didn’t dare to speak at this moment, fearing it might seem like she was kicking someone when they were down. Moreover, she was the one who had exposed Zhong Yating’s wrongdoing. If she spoke now, she would come across as overly aggressive.

Seeing that there was no sign of resolution, with Zhongyu Liuying relentlessly criticizing Zhong Yating while she adamantly refused to divorce, and Huangfu Ruixiang remaining silent throughout, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He spoke up, his tone low and commanding, “Enough, everyone shut up.”

His words silenced the room, even Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying refrained from speaking further.

Turning to Huangfu Ruixiang, Huangfu Ruiling asked directly, “This is your marriage. You have the ultimate say. Do you also want to divorce Zhong Yating?”

After a moment’s silence and a glance at Zhong Yating, Huangfu Ruixiang nodded. “Yes, I want a divorce.”

With Huangfu Ruixiang’s declaration, Li Yiran sighed in relief, her excitement palpable.

She had waited so long for this moment. With Huangfu Ruixiang now onboard, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t possibly stop the divorce.

Upon hearing Huangfu Ruixiang’s words, Zhong Yating’s face turned ashen, her expression bleak. It seemed as though she had lost all hope in an instant, barely holding herself together.
