Song Fengwan was merely following Jiang Fengya’s words. There was nothing wrong with that.
The people below saw that Jiang Fengya’s face was as white as snow and that her delicate body looked even more frail and pitiful.
And they couldn’t help sneering.
“She shot herself in the foot. Why bother playing little tricks? She must be dumbfounded now.”
“What are you waiting for? You’re the one who wanted to leave. Why aren’t you getting lost?!”
Cheng Lan had been standing below the stage with her arms crossed and her brows furrowed. The way was already paved for her, yet she still didn’t know how to walk it. She’s so stupid!
“Let me see who dares to make her leave! This is my house! I haven’t spoken, so no one has the right to be presumptuous!” Song Jingren’s tone was stern and firm.
His wife and daughter had already ruined his reputation. If Jiang Fengya was chased out, he wouldn’t be able to show his face in Yuncheng anymore.
Qiao Aiyun’s lips curled into a cold smile. A layer of frost covered her eyes, making her gaze chilling and stern.
“Wanwan’s name is written on this house’s deed. As the owner of this house, does she not even have the right to tell someone to get lost?”
The Song family had a lot of properties, but they bought this mansion later than the rest. Song Jingren liked to put on a show of loving his wife and doting on his daughter, so he wrote Song Fengwan’s name on the deed. At the time, there were even media reports on it.
Now, it came back to stab him in the back.
“I paid for this house!” Song Jingren was furious.
“It’s alright, Dad. Don’t argue. Calm down. Why don’t I leave?” Jiang Fengya couldn’t stay any longer. “Auntie, there’s a misunderstanding between the two of you. You two should talk it out properly…”
“I’m talking to him. Who do you think you are? Do we need your input?” Qiao Aiyun sneered. “Besides, do you have the right to mediate this?”
After being criticized again, Jiang Fengya burst into tears again out of anger.
“Qiao Aiyun, that’s enough! Don’t you just want a divorce? I’ll fulfill your wish!” Song Jingren looked at Secretary Zhang at the side. “Draw up a divorce agreement for me immediately. I can’t afford to be with such a crazy woman!”
“A divorce, right? Before, I wanted to settle it quietly. Other than Wanwan, I didn’t want anything else. Now, it’s different…” Qiao Aiyun crushed the tissue in her hand.
“We’ve been married for many years. During that time, the company went from an unknown small studio to a listed company. The money and shares in it are all considered as our joint assets.
“In addition, your stock options, properties, land, and all kinds of real estate were purchased during our marriage.
“We’ll get a lawyer—
“And take our time to divide all the assets clearly!”
At the mention of splitting the company, Song Jingren exploded. “Qiao Aiyun, are you crazy?!”
“Also, Wanwan isn’t an adult yet. It might involve custody problems. Since you cheated on me, and the court will respect the child’s opinion, you can forget about gaining custody of her.”
“You still want to split assets? Dream on!” Song Jingren was furious. He took two steps forward aggressively as if he wanted to tear Qiao Aiyun apart.
“If you dare to touch me, I guarantee that the bodyguards I hired will press you to the ground and step on you. Do you want to try it?” Qiao Aiyun was determined to sever all ties with him.
“I didn’t want anything because I cared about our marital relationship. But since you’re shameless, I won’t leave you with a single cent of what belongs to me!”
“Alright, you want to split assets with me? Then shouldn’t you split the Qiao family shops you’ve been managing after you married me?” Song Jingren panted heavily and clenched his fists.
“Song Jingren, are you crazy? Those shops belong to my brother. I’ve been working for him all these years. We’re divorcing, but you want to split my family’s assets? Are you crazy?” Qiao Aiyun sneered as if she was looking at a living brainless nincompoop.
“When employees get divorced, do they split their boss’s assets?” She scoffed.
Song Jingren looked down on the Qiao family’s shabby shops and had never cared about the ownership of the shops.
After hearing Qiao Aiyun mock Song Jingren, everyone burst into muffled laughter.
“Those things are the foundation of everything I’ve worked hard to build over the years. Stop dreaming. I won’t give you a single cent.” She’s trying to take my life!
“If you don’t want to give them to me, I’ll see you in court. We can take our time whittling each other to death. Let’s see who gives up first.”
People always said that when a woman loved you, she could give you her whole heart. But if she was truly heartbroken, she would also be very ruthless.

Just as the atmosphere was tense and at a stalemate, someone spoke.
“Mr. Song, Ms. Qiao, my name is Cheng Lan, and I’m the chief editor of The Beijing Daily. Why don’t you two listen to my advice? This situation isn’t good for anyone right now. It’s better to send the guests away first. Then you two can discuss whatever you need to in private.”
Jiang Fengya had kept looking at Cheng Lan, motioning for her to take action. They were considered to be in the same boat.
So she had no choice but to step forward and give advice.
“Cheng Lan?” Qiao Aiyun didn’t know her, and it wasn’t appropriate for her to be cold to outsiders, so she could only suppress her anger.
Song Fengwan frowned. Why does this name sound so familiar?
“Aiyun, Miss Cheng is on very good terms with Third Master Fu.” Some wealthy madams close to her reminded her. They were only doing so to let Qiao Aiyun give Third Master Fu face.
“Yeah, your divorce won’t be settled anytime soon. You two should talk in private.”
“You should do it for the sake of Third Master. After all, she’s Third Master’s female confidante.”
…
Fu Chen’s friend? Qiao Aiyun looked at Cheng Lan with an increasingly strange expression. “Are you very close with Fu Chen?”
If she was Fu Chen’s friend… Qiao Aiyun owed him a favor and naturally had to give him some face.
Song Fengwan was even more surprised. She had never heard Third Master mention that he had a female confidante.
Cheng Lan smiled. “I just have some relations with Third Master.”
These words were very tactful.
When Song Fengwan heard the words ‘Third Master’, she suddenly realized this was the female voice she had heard in the video call with Fu Chen that night. As it was too flirtatious, it was very recognizable.
She bit her lip and sized up Cheng Lan. She was dressed in business attire and looked smart and capable. Her figure was graceful, and she looked mature and charming.
Third Master likes this type of woman?
And he said he didn’t have any partners of the opposite sex. So he actually has a female confidante…
Men are all pigs.
Qiao Aiyun heard her tone and naturally thought that she was just being polite. I definitely have to give Fu Chen face. She was about to speak when a sudden voice interrupted her…
“Yo—Third Fu’s female confidante? Who is it? Let me take a look.”
The voice had a teasing tone. Everyone turned their heads and watched as a few people entered the living room. Fu Chen rarely showed his face in public, so not many people knew him. But this certain fair-faced man was very famous.
Everyone sighed in their hearts simultaneously. F*ck, this master hasn’t shown his face in a long time. Why is he suddenly here?
