Ji Weiyang's words were naturally filled with grievance, but looking at Zhan Yan who looked like she wanted to cry but had no tears, he was already somewhat regretful. But before she could say anything to redeem herself, Zhan Yan's divorce agreement was already opened in front of him.
"I don't want to pursue the past anymore. Since you want the shares so badly, I'll leave it to you. Sign it. " She even had a carbon pen ready for him.
Ji Weiyang was so angry that his head spun, he grabbed the divorce agreement and quickly flipped through a few pages. Heh, she would rather go out clean than stay by his side. He was really decisive. Since that was the case, he would grant her wish.
"But, why is his hand holding the pen trembling slightly, he couldn't put down the words after a long time." Zhan Yan, have you ever loved me? " Even if it was just a tiny bit!
Zhan Yan clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into the tender flesh of her palms, yet feeling no pain at all. "Just what kind of patience do I need in order to say something that disobeys my will?" No, I never loved you. Ji Weiyang, you are unworthy. "
Her soft words cut into his heart like a sharp knife. Ji Weiyang laughed bitterly, the tip of his brush swiped across the paper, and quickly wrote down his name. Then, he tossed the divorce agreement onto Zhan Yan.
"Scram, I don't want to see you again."
Zhan Yan slowly crouched down, her movements slow as she picked up all the divorce papers scattered on the ground. Her head was still pressed down and tears flowed down her pale white face, falling drop by drop onto the snow-white paper. This series of actions was very much like a slow-motion film from an old movie.
She held onto a stack of letters of agreement, then she stubbornly turned around. After a brief moment of hesitation, she took a heavy step forward, heading outside one step at a time. This time, there was no longer any need to say 'goodbye'.
At this moment, this stormy marriage had finally come to an end.
Ji Weiyang's muscular body was still sitting on the sofa, not moving at all. His eyes were cold as he watched her back figure disappear from his sight. At that moment, he felt his soul being wrenched out of his body.
For a moment, the room fell into a deathly silence, without even the sound of breathing. In a trance, he couldn't tell if he was alive or dead. Until Yu Mei knocked on the door and entered, "Director Ji, the remote meeting with American companies is about to begin..."
"Scram!" Without waiting for Yu Mei to finish speaking, Ji Weiyang let out a furious roar, raised his arm, and swept all the documents and tea cups on the table in front of him to the ground. A clear cracking sound rang out one after another under his feet, and the ground was a mess.
Yu Mei was so scared that her beautiful face turned pale. She had worked at Ji Weiyang's side for seven years, and this young and handsome superior always gave off a calm and cold impression. She was so calm that even Tai Shan could suppress her expression without changing his.
The current Ji Weiyang was like a trapped beast in a cage. Yu Mei no longer dared to anger him, he turned and ran in panic.
Ji Weiyang's tall and big body fell back onto the sofa. He held onto his aching forehead with one hand as fragments of his memories gradually formed together in his mind.
Heh, thinking about it, it was really funny. In Zhan Yan's eyes, he, Ji Weiyang, was a shameless person who sold his marriage for a mere 15% of the shares.
Three years ago, he tried his best to dispel the criticism of the crowd and finally took the position of Ji's's CEO. Although there were layers of resistance, everything was still under his control.
That year, Zhan Yan was over twenty years old and had coincidentally passed the legal age for marriage.
He allowed her to live for three years, opening and closing one eye, allowing her to fall in love with Gao Yuxuan as if he was playing house, but he did not interfere at all. And now, it was time for her to have enough fun, and the time to pull her back to his side, to be his wife.
Everything began to proceed step by step, he went to Wei Shanshan and acted out a perfect plan to catch him. And Zhan Yan's hangover was completely outside of his expectations.
It goes without saying how dangerous it is to be a beautiful, single, and drunk girl in the complex environment of a bar. He left the important social events and rushed her to the quiet hotel room, intending only to give her a good night's rest. Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, but she cried so much that she begged him pitifully not to leave her.
As a mature man, there weren't many people who could resist such an enticing urge to stay. Moreover, he still loved her.
He held her soft, boneless hand and lowered his head to kiss her bright red lips. It was this kiss that he couldn't stop … If she had pushed him away at that moment, perhaps nothing would have happened, and she had not, it was the fire that had allowed the desire in men to burn so thoroughly. Under the moonlight, the girl's beautiful body was like a perfect piece of white porcelain, suffused with a glistening luster. He invaded her body, allowing her to cry and struggle non-stop beneath him …
As for those reporters, he had indeed been the one to arrange them. Since everything that should not have happened had happened, regardless of whether she accepted it or not, he would still be responsible for her.
At that time, her parents did not think highly of this marriage. Firstly, they had already made a decision in their hearts, and secondly, Zhan Yan was young. At that time, Ji Weiyang had put down the words that she would not be able to marry Wei Zhanyan.
In order to show his sincerity, he had the lawyer settle all the assets and transfer them to Zhan Yan. It could be said that the amount was an astronomical amount, but when she signed the agreement, she did not even look at it. She immediately flipped to the last page and signed her name.
She was always so dismissive of everything he gave her, but three years later today, she came to question him about his insignificant shares. It was as ironic as it could be.
The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out. Ji Weiyang looked in the direction of the door with a clear and cold gaze. Who else could possibly dare to charge in at this point of time other than Tang Feng?
Sure enough, after the symbolic knock on the door, Tang Feng pushed it open and entered. Earthquake? Tsunami? Or was it a flash flood? This has caused Third Young Master Ji to become so restless. "
Ji Weiyang was too lazy to blabber with him, he lit up a cigarette on his own and after taking two deep breaths, he said in a low and hoarse voice, "I'm divorced."
Tang Feng was startled at first, then casually sat down on a seat by himself, and smiled as he replied, "Congratulations."
Ji Weiyang quietly smoked, his handsome face hidden behind the curling smoke. His glazed eyes carried a trace of a rarely seen sinister coldness.
Tang Feng smirked as he casually played with the lighter on his fingertips. It looked like Ji Weiyang and Zhan Yan were serious this time. Actually, divorce was not necessarily a bad thing for Ji Weiyang. People like them shouldn't be tied down by love, bound by women. In Tang Feng's eyes, women were the tools to bear children. When he had enough fun, he would marry a woman that would help him in his career, and then complete his mission and account for his family.
"What are you going to do? Continue to tie her to him at all costs, or to let her go? "
Ji Weiyang gracefully swallowed the smoke, the look in her eyes becoming deeper and colder, a trace of vicissitudes in her eyes as well. It was seemingly easy for him to lock Zhan Yan by his side, but what was the point in doing so? The person who obtained her, would never get her heart. He, Ji Weiyang, disdained to have a body without a soul.
"Forget it, I'm tired. Let her be."
Tang Feng shrugged, thinking, this time Wei Zhanyan really hurt him.
After a long period of silence, Ji Weiyang started to smoke, one by one. The resting room was filled with the pungent smell of tobacco smoke. Tang Feng looked at the Rolex on his wrist impatiently, "I say, CEO Ji, your remote conference has already been postponed for an hour. The Americans do not have the patience to wait for someone."
If it was in the past, there was nothing more important than making money in the Third Young Master Ji, and the moment Zhan Yan turned around and left, he suddenly felt that even if she possessed the world's wealth, no one would be able to share it with him, and it would all become meaningless. "I'm not in the mood. Please go in my place."
"Sure, I'll share the profits from American companies." Tang Feng said half seriously and half playfully.
Ji Weiyang extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and immediately lit up another one. The corner of his mouth raised into a smile, his cold and gloomy gaze casually sweeping across Tang Feng, immediately causing him to feel a chill run down his spine.
"Alright, as long as you dare to take it."
"Forget it." He was afraid that if he had a life to take it, he would have no life to spend it. The general direction of Third Young Master Ji was only aimed at his wife, no, more accurately speaking, it should be his ex-wife.
"Don't smoke so much. Be careful of killing you." Isn't it just a woman? How can there be such a thing as grass in the world? If I were to get a dozen for you tomorrow, none of them would be weaker than Wei Zhanyan. " Tang Feng waved his hands, dispersing the mist.
Ji Weiyang extinguished the cigarette butt that had not been completely burnt out in the crystal ashtray, and took the lead to leave. When he passed by Tang Feng, he coldly threw out a sentence, "In the future, I don't want to hear this name ever again."
The second instance was set to begin as scheduled, so Luo Meijuan kept her word. Wei Jingnian's punishment was changed to five years, but he was still removed from his position and expelled from the Party. The Luo Family did things in a manner that was watertight. Even if Wei Jingnian were to be released from prison in the future, they could forget about rising again.
But to Zhan Yan, this result was already enough.
Before Wei Jingnian was transferred to the north side of the city prison, Zhan Yan saw him one last time. In the detention center, the father and daughter duo sat facing each other. Although Wei Jingnian was skinny, his bearing was not the same.
"Dad, how have you been?" Zhan Yan asked with a warm smile.
"Yes." Wei Jingnian nodded his head, his tone hesitating. In his entire life, what else could he not understand, the sudden commutation of punishment by the second examinee must have some sort of secret behind it. Since the second instance was able to change the verdict, you must have compromised with the Luo Family. "Child, I have wronged you."
Zhan Yan smiled faintly as the tears in her eyes moved, "Weiyang and I got divorced. Actually, there's nothing wrong with that, since things have turned out this way, we shouldn't be happy together. It's good for both of us to be separated."
Wei Jingnian sighed heavily. Since things had come to this, there was no room for redemption. In the end, he was the one who had let Zhan Yan down.
"Dad, five years might not be a long time, but it's not short either. You have to take good care of yourself inside. "I left 100,000 yuan in the trading company for you. It's not much, but as long as you save a bit, you should be able to retire without a problem." Zhan Yan slowly continued.
"What's the point of saying all this? I'll be out five years from now, so you should use the money first. Don't let yourself be wronged." Wei Jingnian's gaze swept across Zhan Yan's body. He had a nagging feeling that there was something wrong with this girl, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with his. Maybe he was just overthinking it.
"How are Shan and her mother?" Wei Jingnian asked again, in his tone there was a sense of helplessness. Lu Ruping, this woman, had truly flown away when a great disaster was about to befall her. As for Wei Shanshan, he had really raised that daughter for nothing.
"They are all pretty good, just a little busy." Zhan Yan said randomly.
"Yes." Wei Jingnian nodded, he already understood.
"Miss Wei, it's time to visit." The police officer warned and took Wei Jingnian away.
Zhan Yan followed him and stood up, but suddenly she uncontrollably pounced towards him, hugging her father tightly, tears flowing down her face. "Dad!" she cried, sobbing.
"Wei Jingnian comforted her and patted her shoulder. If I'm in jail next time, through the metal window, I won't have the chance to hug her again." Little girl, don't cry. Do you know why dad named you 'Zhan Yan'? After you were born, the first time father hugged you, you narrowed your eyes and looked at me. You smiled at me, Zhan Yan. Zhan Yan, remember this, no matter what happens, you have to smile brilliantly. "
"Yes." Zhan Yan nodded with difficulty, "Dad, if there's still an afterlife, I still want to be your daughter."
"Alright." Wei Jingnian laughed and released her. He only thought that it was because she was sad for a moment, and didn't try to guess the meaning behind her words.
"Miss Wei, please leave, don't make it too difficult for us." The police officer urged again.
Zhan Yan turned her head back three times and reluctantly left.
After leaving the detention center, Zhan Yan received a call from the court. The case where Wei Shanshan crashed into her was about to be heard publicly, and the court asked her to testify.
On the day of the public trial, Zhan Yan told the judge and jury that the person who drove the car to injure her was not Wei Shanshan. Although it was Wei Shanshan's car, the driver was a man. Let alone the people present, even Du Xiaomo and Gao Yuxuan were extremely shocked by her testimony. For money, Wei Shanshan drove the car wanting to ram her to death. Everyone was well aware of this fact, but Zhan Yan insisted that it wasn't Wei Shanshan who bumped into her.
Since the victim insisted that it wasn't Wei Shanshan and didn't have enough evidence to prosecute him, the Public Security Bureau could only let him go.
Zhan Yan walked out of the court accompanied by Du Xiaomo and Gao Yuxuan. All the way, Du Xiaomo was silent.
Coincidentally, Wei Shanshan also walked out from the court, looking extremely arrogant as she walked to Zhan Yan, "Wei Zhanyan, don't think that I will be grateful to you just because of this. "Why did I leave all of my grandmother's wealth to you? You owe me that."
"Zhan Yan smiled a little helplessly. Her face was calm and her eyes clean and pure. I do not plan for you to be grateful to me, Wei Shanshan. I hope that I can teach you a lesson regarding this matter.
Wei Shanshan's expression froze, a trace of emotion flashed past her eyes, but she still arrogantly raised her chin, "It's really meddling in other people's business, no matter how I live, it's not up to you to say anything." She said this indifferently, then turned around and left.
Zhan Yan's expression was still warm, but Du Xiaomo, who was at the side, was already burning with rage. What kind of attitude did she have? She really is like a donkey's liver when she's kind. "
"Forget it." Zhan Yan said indifferently.
"Forget what?" Du Xiaomo suddenly raised her voice again: "Zhan Yan, are you crazy? She actually made a fake statement to help her get rid of her guilt? Have you forgotten how Little Yan died? "
The shallow curve of Zhan Yan's lips disappeared and she lowered her gaze, her clear tears gently trembling on her fine eyelashes. "How can I forget about her little face? The only ray of hope in her life." I didn't forget. If killing Wei Shanshan can be exchanged for Little Yan, then I will definitely kill her myself without hesitation. But, Little Yan was already gone, even if Wei Shanshan went to jail for his entire life, it wouldn't change anything. Furthermore, she is my blood sister after all, and I cannot bear to see that happen. "
"You can't bear it?" Du Xiaomo sneered, "When she, Wei Shanshan, drove her car and crashed into you, why didn't she think of you as her own sister?
Zhan Yan smiled bitterly, "Forget it, why are you still talking about this now, it's all over." After saying that, she stepped down the stairs step by step while still in her high-heeled shoes.
Du Xiaomo stood behind her, slightly narrowed her eyes, and pulled the corner of Gao Yuxuan's clothes, "Did you feel that Zhan Yan didn't seem to be right?"
"Yes." Gao Yuxuan nodded, the melancholy emitted from her body was extremely familiar, it was the same sadness that had appeared in his when her grandmother passed away.
"We'll take turns watching her these days. We can't let anything happen to her." Du Xiaomo muttered.
Zhan Yan was a typical Virgo Girl. This kind of person pursued perfection in everything, but was sensitive and weak in the heart, easily going to the extreme.
The moment Ji Weiyang threw the divorce agreement onto her, Zhan Yan had already given up all hope for this world. She used his own marriage to repay the kindness of her father's bringing up and raised him for many years. She had used his purest heart to contain this world, but this world could not contain her.
