She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 461: Exposing One’s True Colors

Chen Lingmeng angrily got up from the ground.

Indeed, she stood up on her own, not sitting in a wheelchair.

She kicked the wheelchair furiously several times, cursing while she kicked it.

"I’m so fed up! How long do I have to pretend to be disabled? Every day sitting in this wheelchair, I feel like my legs are degenerating. Pei Yansi actually talked to me like that for that woman Shen Heyu, even saying he never planned to marry me from the start!"

"Who else could he marry if not me? Does he plan to continue his affair with Shen Heyu? Has he got it wrong, Shen Heyu has already registered her marriage with Lu Yi, when will he give up?"

"That bitch Shen Heyu has already registered with another man, can’t she just disappear completely from Pei Yansi’s world? Does she have to oppose me and add to my troubles to be happy?"

Chen Lingmeng kicked the wheelchair several more times in anger, even bending the wheels, and finally, exhausted, she stood weakly to the side.

As she turned around and was about to sit down on the nearby sofa to rest, she saw a maid standing as still and silent as wood at the door, witnessing Chen Lingmeng’s miraculous medical recovery.

The maid had been at the door for a long time, her mouth agape in shock, her pupils dilating as she looked at Chen Lingmeng, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing.

"Miss, your legs?"

Hearing her speak, Chen Lingmeng felt her blood turn ice cold in an instant; she had accidentally revealed that her legs were not broken.

"Miss, weren’t your legs broken? Weren’t you confined to a wheelchair? How are you standing here perfectly fine?" The maid, not believing her eyes, lifted her hand to point at Chen Lingmeng’s straight legs and asked incredulously.

Chen Lingmeng took a step back, at a loss for words for a moment.

This scene was just witnessed by Chen Wenzhou, who walked to the doorway, looked at Chen Lingmeng standing inside the room, and then at the maid at the door, finally, frowning, he asked.

"Did only you see the miss’s legs recover, or did others see it too?" Chen Wenzhou asked in a lowered voice, wary of being overheard.

The maid looked up at Chen Wenzhou’s overly serious face, still unaware of anything amiss.

"Only I saw it, I came to ask the miss what she wanted for lunch, and that’s when I saw her standing in the room kicking the wheelchair. When did miss’s legs recover?"

Hearing what the maid said, Chen Wenzhou felt slightly relieved, he didn’t answer her question but sternly reminded her, "Let’s talk inside."

The maid, still unclear about what was to happen next, simply nodded her head and walked into the bedroom.

Chen Wenzhou followed her in, immediately closing the door behind him and even locking it.

Seeing Chen Wenzhou locking the door made the maid somewhat anxious as she stepped forward, but she was stopped by Chen Wenzhou.

"Why are you locking the door?"

"Because I need to discuss a very serious matter with you that cannot be disturbed by others, please sit down, and let’s talk about it properly," Chen Wenzhou said with a serious look at Chen Lingmeng.

He had been cleaning up Chen Lingmeng’s mess for so long, yet she showed no signs of improvement, still capable of making such elementary mistakes.

The servant, looking confused, let out an "oh" and then carefully sat down on the sofa nearby.

"Miss, young master, what do you want to tell me?" The servant asked, curiously looking at Chen Wenzhou and Chen Lingmeng, who bore identically serious expressions.

"Xiao Hua, we must keep the matter of the young lady’s leg recovery a secret for now. We plan to wait until her legs have completely recovered before sharing the good news. The doctor said her condition is improving, but currently, she can only stand for a brief two to three minutes."

Chen Wenzhou watched the servant seriously, and at this moment, Chen Lingmeng finally acted smart. Hearing Chen Wenzhou’s keynote, she immediately pretended to collapse to the ground as if her legs were weak.

The servant hurried over and carefully helped Chen Lingmeng up.

"Miss, did you hurt yourself when you fell?" the servant asked with concern.

Chen Lingmeng shook her head with a smile, "It’s nothing. I could only stand for a second or two before, but today I managed two to three minutes. That’s a big improvement. Although it might take a decade or two for my legs to fully recover, I will definitely persevere."

Listening to her, the servant couldn’t help but feel sorry for her, "Don’t be discouraged, miss. It’s already a good sign that you can stand now. Your legs will surely recover."

"The doctor also stated that there’s a fifty percent chance her legs will fully heal. I was also relieved to hear that news," Chen Wenzhou forced a reassured smile.

"But there’s still something I don’t understand," the servant continued, puzzled. "If the young lady’s legs are slowly recovering, why can’t we tell anyone? You mentioned it might get people’s hopes up for nothing. But her close friends and family, and President Pei, would surely be happy to hear that her legs are healing, even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance of full recovery."

The servant raised their concern again, thinking they had slipped by unnoticed previously, which visibly irritated Chen Lingmeng.

Chen Wenzhou attempted to remain calm and chuckled, "Servant, this is the thing: the doctor treating Mengmeng is a top global expert. He mentioned that currently, both domestically and internationally, no one should focus on her leg issue. If her legs don’t eventually heal, but the news has already spread, it could cause severe damage to that doctor’s reputation. Thus, we need to keep this treatment a secret for now."

Chen Wenzhou was taken aback, hardly understanding but was indeed impressed by Chen Wenzhou’s explanation.

Seemingly half-understood, they nodded, "I understand now. I will definitely keep it a secret and won’t let slip."

"That’s good. You must remember, if you leak this and we breach the confidentiality agreement signed with Doctor Wen, we might face millions in compensation, which you would have to pay yourself."

Hearing that a slip of the tongue could lead to an astronomical compensation, the servant gasped and quickly covered their mouth, their eyes widening as they nodded vigorously.

"Young master, don’t worry. I will keep it completely confidential and won’t let any information leak."

"Mhm. You can go on about your business now," Chen Wenzhou waved his hand, dismissing the servant.

Once she had left, Chen Lingmeng took a deep breath, feeling as if she’d just escaped a narrow brush with disaster.

"We managed to muddle through, haven’t we?"

"Do you really think this is over?"
