Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 628 - 254: Surprise During the Divorce Proceedings (Part 2)

"I’m well aware that Ziceng’s business is launching today, but there’s something even more pressing right now that I need to attend to," Hang Yishao answered breezily, determined to pass on to Fei Qing the news of Yan Wuxu hanging out with Shang Yin today. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Yan Wuxu could see what Hang Yishao was planning and subtly distanced herself from Shang Yin.

"I heard there’s a big project wrapping up in Hang City recently, and I’m just wondering if I might have the honor of getting some firsthand news from Mr. Hang," said Shang Yin, who was never a gossipmonger, but Hang Yishao’s appearance at the law firm on behalf of the Hang Family meant important paperwork was in play, otherwise, he wouldn’t have missed Ziceng’s store opening.

"Mr. Shang is too modest. A minor project of the Hang Family surely wouldn’t catch your or the Earl of Wizi’s attention. However, since we’ve met, let me, on behalf of Uncle Su and the Hang Family, make an early announcement." Hang Yishao’s secretary handed over a document.

Hang Yishao opened the file and handed it to Su Qingzhang with great respect, saying, "Uncle Su, this stock authorization letter, which is more than two years overdue, still requires your signature."

After hearing this, both Yan Wuxu and Shang Yin wore puzzled looks. The Su Family had gone bankrupt long ago; what stock authorization letter could there possibly be?

"You’ve gone to a lot of trouble, my respectful nephew," Su Qingzhang accepted the document, reaching into his coat pocket and pulling out a pen. It had been a long time since he last used this pen for signing. He even used it when he got divorced earlier, and he had used it for countless life-impacting agreements.

"I’ve already had Qingyun Lawyer personally notarize it. The shares worth one and a half billion will be transferred to your name within three days," Hang Yishao was efficient in his dealings, and this stock authorization letter that was drafted based on Su Qingzhang’s trust had finally found its rightful place.

"One and a half billion?" Yan Wuxu’s eyes widened. The carefully applied makeup from the morning was now peeling off, as if mocking Yan Wuxu for having eyes yet failing to see. Su Qingzhang still had money after all—he had hidden a massive fortune of over a billion.

Yan Wuxu felt her mind in chaos. Just a few minutes ago, by signing the divorce papers with Su Qingzhang, she severed all ties with this fortune. At the time of signing, to better distance herself from the bankrupt Su Qingzhang, she didn’t even want child support, brazenly declaring to the lawyer that her child wasn’t Su Qingzhang’s. Even if she changed her story now, Su Qingzhang could accuse her of infidelity during the marriage and sue her.

"This was the choice you made," Su Qingzhang said, letting Hang Yishao escort him out. He too wished to see the opening scene of the store Ziceng had managed with care.

Her choice? Yan Wuxu faintly remembered that when she proposed divorce to Su Qingzhang that day, he seemed to suggest he would compensate her, and she was the one who refused it with her own words.

"It’s not fair, this is all too unfair," Yan Wuxu got into the car with Shang Yin unconsciously.

"What are you mumbling about?" Shang Yin was about to start the car, but Yan Wuxu held onto the steering wheel.

"Brother Shang, don’t marry Chang Chi. I’m already divorced, and I’m a thousand, no, a million times better than her. I know all your likes," Yan Wuxu took out a packet of drugs from a hidden compartment in the car, placed it in her mouth, and then transferred it from her lips to his.

How could Chang Chi compare to her? Shang Yin liked thrills, and she could give him more than enough.

"We’re still in the parking lot," Shang Yin was not the type to play hard to get. He said this, but his body cooperated with Yan Wuxu’s advances.

"It’s more thrilling in the parking lot," Yan Wuxu’s hands unbuckled Shang Yin’s belt and shed her clothes. In the dimly lit parking lot, the woman’s body shone brightly white.

The drugs dissolved in their mouths. Yan Wuxu’s head didn’t start to spin; the man’s features before her remained clear, "These drugs aren’t strong enough, Brother Shang. I have something even better, do you want to try it?"

"Oh," Shang Yin also felt that the usual drugs just weren’t satisfying anymore. It’s a pity Pello had decided to only run legit business, and he had no choice but to cut off his previous supply channels.

"Here, these taste better," Yan Wuxu, utterly shameless now, rummaged through her handbag, pulled out a packet of drugs - pink pills - and put one in her and Shang Yin’s mouths.

Their heads were immediately spun by the new drug’s potency. The parking lot echoed with the sounds of heavy breathing, and the car shook incessantly.

"Brother Shang, if you like it, let’s sell my drugs in your bar, splitting the profits fifty-fifty," Yan Wuxu straightened her clothes, looking at Shang Yin who was smoking beside her.

"The drugs are good, but they’re a bit too fierce. I’m afraid they might not be good for the body," Shang Yin, an experienced player, tried the drugs and quickly had an idea about them. His personality, though, was prone to take risks without much thought; the more dangerous something was, the keener he was to try it out.

"Let’s test it out then," Yan Wuxu tossed the packet of drugs into Shang Yin’s car, laying the bait first. Once Shang Yin got hooked on these drugs, she was not worried about controlling him. By then, she was determined to ensure that Chang Chi met with a terrible fate.

Shang Yin’s car remained in the parking lot for over an hour.

When the car left, Fei Qing, who was as dumbstruck as a wooden chicken, was still sitting in Chang Chi’s car. He had come to surprise her when he heard that Su Qingzhang was going to sign divorce papers today with Wuxu.

Little did he expect that Yan Wuxu would give him a different kind of "surprise," a truly significant one. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to go to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
