Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 431: Finally Able to Divorce

"Forget it, let her go."

Just as Wu Taotao was about to take action, Zhang Meimei suddenly spoke up, telling the two men to stop.

Wu Taotao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his tightly clenched hands slightly relaxed.

Leng Ziqing also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Zhang Meimei with a complicated expression.

Zhang Meimei chuckled, saying smugly, "I never thought I’d be able to force you to say those words. Wu Taotao, you heard it, he abandoned you again. He abandoned you four years ago, and now he’s doing it again. How does it feel to be abandoned again and again? Does it feel great? Hahaha, I always thought I was the pitiful one, but now it seems like you are more pitiful. To be abandoned again and again by the one who claims to love you, to gain and lose—shouldn’t it be more painful?"

Wu Taotao closed his eyes and sighed lightly, "Indeed, the feeling of being hurt is unpleasant. But Zhang Meimei, I can tell you clearly that I no longer love Leng Ziqing. As he said, this time he used coercion, using the future of someone I love to force me to comply. The reason I agreed to him was only to protect those I wanted to protect."

"Oh, haha." Zhang Meimei laughed again, looking at the pale-faced Leng Ziqing, she said, "Did you hear that? She doesn’t love you at all. It’s just for protecting someone she wants to protect. Leng Ziqing, you are truly pathetic. Both the ones who love you and the ones who don’t are deeply disappointed in you!"

"Enough, shut up." Leng Ziqing roared angrily.

Zhang Meimei looked at him, hysterically amused, and laughed more recklessly.

She ordered someone to let Wu Taotao leave, and watched Wu Taotao pack his luggage and leave without looking back.

Standing before Leng Ziqing, she said, "Turns out, the most pitiful one is not me or that woman, but you."

"Let’s divorce! It was my fault, I should’ve told you earlier, wasting so much of our time." Leng Ziqing murmured.

Zhang Meimei bit her lip, nodded with tears in her eyes, "Alright, I’ve wanted to divorce you too. Continuing like this is meaningless. It was wrong from the start—I shouldn’t have gambled on you. I accept my loss, I’m willing to divorce you."

After speaking, Zhang Meimei ordered someone to release Leng Ziqing, and left with her son.

Leng Ziqing returned to Jiangcheng shortly after Zhang Meimei, and they went to the civil affairs bureau to process the divorce immediately.

The speed was so fast that their families didn’t know about it.

Coming out of the civil affairs bureau, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

As if they’d been stuck for half a lifetime, finally able to let go.

"Please take care of Jiangjiang. You can come to me if there’s anything. No matter what, he’s my son, and I’ll be there when he needs fatherly support." Leng Ziqing said.

Zhang Meimei nodded, "Just like before, you can visit him every week. He likes you and wants to spend more time with his father."

"Alright, thank you." Leng Ziqing thanked her.

Zhang Meimei was taken aback—this was the first time he thanked her.

Before, he would either ignore or respond coldly.

Unexpectedly, after divorcing, he became polite.

"No need to thank," Zhang Meimei said self-deprecatingly, and turned to leave.

Their divorce was announced to their families after they returned home.

Sure enough, Mrs. Leng and Feng Qi started yelling.

"What? You’ve divorced? Why suddenly divorce?"

Leng Ziqing didn’t want to explain further to his mother and went upstairs with a sullen face.

Mrs. Leng was furious, eyes filled with tears, but she had no choice.

Her son was no longer the son he used to be, no longer under her control.

Apart from shedding tears, she seemed unable to do anything else.

However, Feng Qi hysterically questioned Zhang Meimei.

Zhang Meimei looked at her calmly, "Mom, you’ve watched my marriage progress step by step to this point, do you think I’m happy?"

Feng Qi was silent, frowning as she looked at her.

Zhang Meimei chuckled wryly, "I’m not happy, and you know this better than anyone. Our family doesn’t need Leng Family’s riches, so why should you force me to cling to an unhappy marriage, to linger in the grave?"

"Meimei is right." Zhang Wenchi came over, with a sullen face, "I’ve never agreed with this marriage, I’ve mentioned it several times, if it’s unhappy just end it early. You’ve always obstructed, but now Meimei has finally made up her mind, let her do as she pleases. Being her mother, do you want her to stay in the fire pit to feel relieved?"

"I didn’t mean that, she’s my daughter, how could I want to see her stuck in the fire pit." Feng Qi defended.

Zhang Wenchi said, "If that’s the case, then don’t obstruct her divorce. If she’s divorced, that’s good."

"Thanks, Dad!" Zhang Meimei stepped forward and hugged her father.

Zhang Wenchi patted her shoulder, "From now on, with your mom and dad around, you and the child can be at ease."

Zhang Meimei nodded, feeling a strong sense of happiness and warmth for the first time.

Turns out, letting go of certain obsessions can be so freeing.

"Ningning."

Wu Taotao came looking for Ye Ningwan, as soon as he saw Ye Ningwan, he threw himself at her and hugged her tightly.

Ye Ningwan was surprised and quickly asked, "Weren’t you traveling with Leng Ziqing? Why are you back so soon? What happened?"

"It’s over, finally." Wu Taotao said.

After speaking, he recalled the earlier events, feeling quite shaken.

Fortunately, Zhang Meimei acted rationally and timely called them off.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of tragedy might have ensued.

"It’s over?" Ye Ningwan was surprised.

Wu Taotao nodded, released her, and told her what had happened.

Ye Ningwan sighed deeply and said in amazement, "I didn’t expect Zhang Meimei to remain sensible."

"Who would have thought so?" Wu Taotao replied but added, "Anyway, the matter is over, I need to quickly share this good news with Ye Shao."

"Yeah, go find him! He has been worried about you." Ye Ningwan said.

Wu Taotao left.

Ye Ningwan didn’t expect this issue to be resolved so easily.

She thought for a bit and decided to call Zhan Hanjue, considering asking him to check with Leng Ziqing.

But then she reconsidered.

Originally, she didn’t want to involve Zhan Hanjue, now calling him to get information might drag him in unnecessarily.

However, unexpectedly, before she figured out how to inquire if Leng Ziqing had truly given up, Housekeeper Wu reported that Mrs. Leng had arrived.

"What’s she here for?" Ye Ningwan frowned.

Mrs. Leng hadn’t visited for a long time, ever since she came to complain to Old Mrs. Zhan about Leng Ziqing’s defiance.

Zhan Hanjue was furious then, and in anger, had her driven away, forbidding her from stepping foot in the Zhan Family again.

Mrs. Leng, being a person of dignity, hadn’t come ever since.

Not visiting for so long and suddenly showing up now—could it be related to Leng Ziqing?

"Not sure, Mrs. Leng said she wants to see you." Housekeeper Wu reported.

This made Ye Ningwan even more curious—not asking to see Old Mrs. Zhan, nor Zhan Hanjue, but actually wanting to see her?

"Please let her in."

Now she was curious as to what Mrs. Leng wanted with her.
