“Young Master Xie, aren’t you leaving?”

Someone patted him lightly.

Xie Yiye was indifferent. In a place where no one could see, his hands were trembling.

Wen Yan realized someone was staring at her.

Under that person’s rebellious long eyebrows, his eyes were long and narrow and affectionate. His face was extremely perfect, but there was a wicked smile on his lips, domineering and ostentatious.

The probing and excitement in his eyes made her feel uncomfortable.

There were very few people left in the room. He sat motionless, not wanting to leave at all.

Wen Yan didn’t wait any longer and handed the agreement to Gu Jinmo.

“I don’t want anything. Just sign the original agreement.”

In the three years of marriage, he had at most disliked her, but at least he had not cheated on her.

In the past few days, she had seen him and Su Qianqian appear in public on various occasions, so she decided to put the divorce on the agenda.

Gu Jinmo glanced at the agreement indifferently and sneered, “Is that man that important?”

So important she had to force him to let her go in front of so many people?

Wen Yan bit her lip and knew he had misunderstood.

But so what? They would eventually reach the end of the road.

Seeing that she had lowered her eyes and remained silent, Gu Jinmo felt anxious.

He wanted to ask and ask who that person was, but he felt that this was not the right time.

The atmosphere was getting more and more depressing, and it was pressing down on his chest.

He pulled his tie anxiously and spat out a word in a hoarse voice,

“Pen.”

Seeing that she was standing still, he slowly raised his head. “Didn’t you ask me to sign it?”

“Oh,” Wen Yan replied. She quickly took out a pen from her bag and paused slightly when she handed it to him.

Gu Jinmo didn’t even raise his head. He took the pen and signed it in a flamboyant manner before handing it to her.

Taking the heavy agreement, Wen Yan forced back the pain in her heart.

She had clearly achieved her goal, but her heart was still empty.

“Since the agreement has been signed, should you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate?” Su Qianqian suddenly reminded.

Wen Yan looked at Su Qianqian. Seeing her wide-eyed and ignorant look, she thought about the disappearance of the nurse.

On the day she questioned Su Qianqian, the nurse resigned and disappeared without a trace. Grandma’s death became a mystery.

Seeing Wen Yan staring at her fiercely, Su Qianqian nervously took a few steps back.

Gu Jinmo saw Wen Yan’s hateful expression and knew that she was thinking about Grandma again.

“Wen Yan, how many times do I have to say it? Qianqian didn’t harm your grandmother.”

She did not harm her grandmother.

He was determined to side with Su Qianqian.

She looked at him desolately and said in a hoarse voice, “Gu Jinmo, you know that Grandma is my only family…”

She had been abandoned since she was young. If it weren’t for her grandmother, she would have frozen to death on the streets.

Grandma gave her all her love and was her motivation to live.

Not only did she not have the time to fulfill her filial piety, but she also caused her grandmother to die without knowing why…

She raised her head and tried her best to widen her eyes to stop her tears from flowing.

“I know.” Gu Jinmo pursed his lips. “I was the one who arranged for her to go to the hospital. She has no grudge against your grandmother, so there’s no reason to harm her.”

Wen Yan chuckled, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

“I don’t know if she has a reason, but the nurse said she had an argument with my grandmother that day.”

If she really treated her grandmother well, why would they quarrel?

Grandma had a good personality and had never had any conflicts with her neighbors for many years. If she could quarrel with Su Qianqian even when she was sick, Su Qianqian must have said something.

When she thought about how her grandmother had died from anger, her hatred for Su Qianqian was endless.

Su Qianqian was the only one who went to see Grandma that day. Grandma’s cerebral hemorrhage was definitely not groundless.

“Since you trust her so much, let’s meet in court. I’ll find evidence.”

She glanced at Su Qianqian indifferently.

She didn’t want to stay here any longer, so she quickly turned around and left. Perhaps it was because she had been too tired these past few days, but when she reached the door, she felt dizzy. Just as she was about to fall, a hand came over to support her.

Wen Yan calmed herself down and looked up gratefully. It was the person who had been staring at her just now.

“Thank you.”

Looking at her from a close distance, Xie Yiye was even more certain of his guess.

When he first saw her, he was shocked beyond words.

The person in front of him looked too much like his aunt.

Everyone said that the younger sister who went missing at home looked like their aunt.

This person was most likely his sister.

His grip on her arm grew tighter and tighter. Wen Yan frowned and broke free without batting an eyelid. She turned around and left.

“Hey, wait!”

Xie Yiye wanted to chase after her but was stopped by Su Qianqian.

“Does Young Master Xie like her?” Su Qianqian blinked her large eyes and teased, “Her family is poor. I’m afraid she can’t even enter your Xie family.”

Everyone knew that Xie Huaiyuan had already set a price for his future daughters-in-law. Education and family background were indispensable.

No one thought they had too high of expectations because the Xie family had the capital to choose.

“Poor family?” Xie Yiye raised his eyebrows, deep in thought.

If this person was really his sister, she must have had a hard time these years.

Gu Jinmo had kept his marriage a secret from him. Even he did not know about it. It was obvious the Gu family had not taken Mrs. Gu seriously from the beginning.

“Yes, she was picked up by her grandmother. Even she didn’t know who her parentsare.”

This sentence made Xie Yiye’s expression strange.

Su Qianqian continued to add fuel to the fire.

His words were filled with mockery of Wen Yan’s identity.

Seeing Gu Jinmo walking towards them and thinking about how Wen Yan had left in anger just now, she couldn’t help but feel indignant for Wen Yan.

If his sister had gone missing and been adopted, he would have been ridiculed like this!

He leaned against the door carelessly and cast a sidelong glance at Su Qianqian. “If you can enter the Gu family, why can’t she enter my Xie family?”

Su Qianqian looked embarrassed and glanced at Gu Jinmo.

Gu Jinmo walked over.

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave after watching the show for so long? Why don’t you sit down and have a cup of tea before you leave?”

Xie Yiye regretted going against Gu Jinmo. He just wanted to check Wen Yan’s information immediately.

She looked so much like his aunt, and she just happened to be adopted. When a coincidence met a coincidence, it might not be a coincidence anymore.

“Gu Jinmo, I still have something urgent to attend to. If you have anything to say, say it next time.”

After saying that, he didn’t even look at Gu Jinmo’s expression. He wanted to leave quickly, but he was stopped by Gu Jinmo.

Gu Jinmo’s eyes were deep and deep.

Ever since Wen Yan entered, Xie Yiye’s gaze had never left her.

Although Xie Yiye was domineering, he was still tactful. There was no reason for him to really want to stay and watch the show.

Wen Yan asked for a divorce because she had found a lover.

Could that person be Xie Yiye?

Gu Jinmo’s expression gradually turned cold.

“What’s the relationship between Young Master Xie and my wife?”
