“Make fun of you? I don’t have the time to do that. Here, this is for you guys. Grandpa will definitely like it.”

Qin Lan handed over the present she had prepared. This was a set of premium-grade Four Treasures of the Study. Jing Hai had recently been obsessed with writing calligraphy. The more authentic the calligraphy instrument was, the more he liked it. Slowly and leisurely, he could stay in the study for the whole afternoon.

“Why?”

Jing Chen didn’t take it. He had always prepared Grandfather’s gift himself. This was the only way to show his sincerity. Even if it was prepared by his own mother, he wouldn’t be willing to accept it.

“You’re still asking me why? Don’t ask. If you do, just take it as I’m empathizing with you and fighting for precious time for you and your little lover to have enough time to meet and not meet in front of my daughter-in-law to make things difficult for her!”

Hearing this, Jing Chen frowned and said unhappily, “Mom! Can you stop being so sarcastic?”

“Alright, then tell me, why are you divorcing my daughter-in-law?”

Jing Chen’s gaze turned cold. “How did you know?”

“You’re my son! And you’re asking me how I know. How can I not know what you’re thinking about? Jing Chen, you can’t escape your mother’s sharp eyes. I advise you to stop thinking about this, especially that Bai Lian. Your grandfather didn’t like her back then. Do you think you can bring her home when she comes back again?”

“Stop dreaming. Don’t think that you can have the right to speak just because you’re two years older and have some accomplishments in managing a company. Give up your childish thoughts and recognize the reality!”

“You are having an affair after marriage! And you are defending your mistress in front of Su Wan so blatantly. Let me tell you, Su Wan is being soft-hearted. If she sues you in court, you’ll have to give her half of the Jing Family, okay?”

The more Qin Lan spoke, the angrier she became. Her cold and solemn face had a serious expression, making her seem even more dignified.

For some reason, Jing Chen was furious. He rushed forward, his mind filled with anger. “Mom, I will settle this. Don’t interfere in this matter.”

“If I don’t interfere, my son will become a street rat hated by everyone. How can I not interfere?”

“Mom! Things are not like what you think. I will settle everything after Grandpa’s birthday,” Jing Chen said earnestly.

When Qin Lan heard this, she gradually calmed down. She snorted coldly and said, “At least you’re sensible enough to think about your grandfather. I’ll give you one last piece of advice. Your grandfather isn’t an unreasonable person. He definitely has his reasons for not accepting Bai Lian. Think about it carefully.”

Jing Chen acknowledged it.

It was only then that Qin Lan let him go. On the way home, Jing Chen couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. How could his mother have known of the divorce from the trivial matter she saw in the mall that day?

…

As soon as Jing Chen reached home, he saw that Su Wan was still in the mood to watch a TV drama. He was furious!

He went over directly and turned off the television.

The spacious villa fell silent.

When they first got married, Jing Chen didn’t like having a housekeeper and housekeeping at home. Apart from working hours, he didn’t allow anyone else to enter the villa. He had reached a mutual agreement with Su Wan on this, she didn’t like it too.

Now, looking into Jing Chen’s eyes, Su Wan really wished that there was someone beside her. How could she bear it alone?

She had never seen Jing Chen like this. He had always been indifferent, just like his face, which had perfectly inherited his mother’s good looks. He was cold, firm, and distant. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. When he was expressionless, he exuded an invisible pressure that made people not dare to vent their anger.

Not to mention when he was obviously angry.

If you said that he was about to eat Su Wan. Su Wan would have believed it…

She got up from the sofa and stepped back, puzzled. “What for?”

“What for? You still have the cheek to ask me? I didn’t realize that you, Su Wan, had such a side to you. On the surface, you were agreeable and agreed to the divorce without hesitation. But behind my back, you told Mom about the divorce and let her deal with me, didn’t you? If it weren’t for Grandpa’s birthday celebration, you would have even caused trouble at Grandpa’s place!”

“When I got married, I saw that you agreed to it. I didn’t expect it. I didn’t expect that you had already decided to cling onto me!”

Su Wan widened her eyes and looked at the ridiculous scene before her. She was even more confused. “Jing Chen, what do you mean?”

“Stop pretending. I feel disgusted just by looking at you acting now.” Jing Chen stared at her in disgust and said from the bottom of his heart.

“…”

Su Wan’s tears fell in an instant. Her nose turned red as she cried out in front of him.. “I didn’t! I didn’t say anything to mom…”
