Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 627 - 254: Surprises During the Divorce Proceedings
Today is the day Su Qingzhang and Yan Wuxu had agreed to go to the law firm.
For Yan Wuxu, it felt like a release, so early in the morning she sat in front of her dressing table, carefully applying makeup, and had even arranged for Shang Yin to take her to the law firm. She wanted Su Qingzhang to see that divorcing her was the loss of his lifetime.
As she walked down the stairs, she first took in the mess in the living room and then saw Shang Yin, on whom she deliberately put on a seductive smile.
Her smile froze when she saw Su Qingzhang, looking fresh and composed, waiting in the living room.
Shang Yin also felt a bit awkward; when Yan Wuxu had asked him to come, she hadn’t mentioned going to the law firm. The scene of the mixture of old and new men together would make anyone uncomfortable if stumbled upon.
"Then, Mr. Shang, please take us there," Su Qingzhang said without a hint of awkwardness, his voice the only thing that had not changed under adversity. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Shang Yin did not refuse. He shrugged off Yan Wuxu’s clinging hand and pushed Su Qingzhang towards the door.
The butler glanced at Pello’s expression, then at Su Qingzhang being pushed farther away, and said solemnly, "I’ll take the master there." Without waiting for Pello’s reply, the butler followed them out.
In the living room, only Pello and Wen Maixue remained. After hearing the explanations, Wen Maixue realized she might have been too fiery previously, approached Pello, and nestled against his chest, lamenting, "Pello, I know I was wrong, I just love you too much, that’s why I made such a fuss."
Pello’s hand caressed Wen Maixue’s hair; he did not voice any blame, as everything was already chaotic enough; there was no need to further disturb the situation.
His expression was calm, but his eyes already fluttered with raging waves. Su Ziceng, this increasingly slippery eel, kept burrowing in and out of his heart repeatedly; he could not let things spiral further out of control.
Every year, Mo City Qingyun Law Firm handles thousands of divorce cases; like Su Qingzhang and Yan Wuxu, formerly wealthy couples ending their marriage due to decline is not uncommon to them.
When signing, there’s always one party who is inexplicably agitated, gritting their teeth at the other, but this old and young couple today both had faces of calm.
Yan Wuxu had specifically invited Shang Yin; after getting divorced, she felt as if a weight was lifted off her shoulders. After signing, Su Qingzhang did not look at Yan Wuxu but turned to Shang Yin, "Mr. Shang, I’m very grateful you could take care of Xiao Chi."
Originally, Chang Chi was just one of the many colorful women around Shang Yin, but since he discovered her talent in management, he placed her in Shang Group despite the opposition from Pello and Wen Maixue.
"Don’t be so formal with me, maybe I’ll even call you father-in-law someday," said Yan Wuxu’s previous words, which were not without effect on Shang Yin, thinking sooner or later he would marry a woman, he might as well marry Chang Chi, who is both a competent woman and assistant.
"Brother Shang? What are you saying? You can’t marry that vixen," Yan Wuxu exclaimed in excitement; Shang Yin refused to marry her, and yet he intended to marry the rigid Chang Chi.
"It’s not your place to interfere in my matters," Shang Yin did not finalize his decision yet. Most women are the same, prone to jealousy, which Chang Chi also inherited from her mother, Chang Mei. Since following him, she had made no excessive demands; even if she were to remain nameless by his side for a lifetime, Chang Chi would likely have no complaints. But the more this was the case, the more interested Shang Yin became.
Unable to vent her frustration on Shang Yin, Yan Wuxu could only glare resentfully at Su Qingzhang. The Su Family’s daughters were plain and ordinary, but why did they still attract men’s eyes?
After the procedures were finished, Shang Yin was about to take Su Qingzhang back to the Su Family. As they left the law firm, they encountered Hang Yishao with several employees from the Hang Family walking in.
"Uncle Su, long time no see, you look as well as the last time I saw you," Hang Yishao seemed to see only Su Qingzhang; he disregarded the couple by his side.
"Today is indeed rare, Young Master Hang, who’s always following behind Su Ziceng’s butt, why did you have time to come to the law firm?" Yan Wuxu knew today was the opening day of some no-name shop called Espr owned by Su Ziceng, Hang Yishao didn’t go congratulate, yet he still had the mood to greet Su Qingzhang a
