She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 305 - 304: Her Husband Married Her While Waiting for Another to Transmigrate (16)
"So that’s how it is!" Bai Huimei was even more furious. She was already dissatisfied with Yu Xiaoran, and now she felt even more that he wasn’t a good person.
"If you don’t want to continue, then get a divorce. I’ll talk to your dad."
Ah Chen spoke up, "We have an agreement for a year and three months. If we haven’t developed any feelings by then, we’ll divorce."
"That’s fine too." Bai Huimei breathed a sigh of relief, but she still planned to discuss it with Lu Mingxue.
That night, she talked to Lu Mingxue about it.
Lu Mingxue was somewhat displeased, "There’s actually such a reason. The Yu Family is really not decent."
"Dad, I think we should let my sister get a divorce. The Yu Family is really no good," Lu Wangqiu mocked. "I was wondering why he agreed to marry her. Turns out it’s because her eight characters benefit him. He never had any genuine intentions, just saw her as a tool for making money."
Lu Mingxue said, "I’ll find a day to talk to him."
Yu Xiaoran never expected that because of the eight characters issue, Lu Mingxue would seek a conversation with him.
"I’ve heard about the agreement between you and Chenchen. We won’t dwell on the past issues, but if you two don’t develop feelings in over a year, then don’t delay each other. Don’t use the eight characters as an excuse to bind someone. Otherwise, my Lu Family won’t be afraid of your Yu Family." Lu Mingxue said, "This time, the Yu Family has really gone too far."
He was very displeased, extremely dissatisfied.
He scolded Yu Xiaoran, then went to the Yu Family to reason with Mr. Yu.
Mr. Yu was also hearing about this for the first time. Knowing it came from Yu Xiaoran’s mouth, he didn’t dare to deny it, so he could only smile apologetically.
After Lu Mingxue left, he called Yu Xiaoran back and asked him about the eight characters issue.
Actually, Mr. Yu really believed it; otherwise, how could Xiaoran have been so smooth the past two years? There must be some metaphysical truth to it, likely a master guiding Xiaoran.
Originally thinking that Bai Chen wouldn’t cling to him anymore, and that the next year and more would be peaceful, Yu Xiaoran never anticipated that things would become even more tangled.
Now, many in his circle approached him, hoping he could make introductions, and many were people he couldn’t afford to offend.
Yu Xiaoran was almost driven mad with frustration.
"Hahaha, this is hilarious. My dear cousin has shot himself in the foot. Bai Chen is really foolish for letting such things spread, just adding to my cousin’s troubles," Yu Xingfan was so delighted he was practically dancing, "She still wants to win my cousin’s heart. It was impossible before, and now even more so."
Unable to restrain himself any longer, Yu Xiaoran finally found Ah Chen by the small lake at the villa feeding the fish.
"How could you reveal the eight characters issue?" Yu Xiaoran was holding back not to curse.
Ah Chen casually scattered fish food, "Mom asked how things were going between us, so I just mentioned it. I can’t lie to her, right? There’s no affection between us, and you’re not interested in me. You expect me to help hide things from my mom? When she heard, of course, she discussed it with the family."
"Your family was being unfair from the start. My mom and stepfather have the right to be angry; it’s the truth. What’s wrong with outsiders knowing? You don’t like me, and yet you expect me to swallow my grievances and help you cover it up? Dream on."
Yu Xiaoran suddenly calmed down, realizing she seemed to be angry about the previous incident.
The anger in his heart faded instantly; now that her anger was greater, it would be troublesome if there was a change in the situation.
"Are you mad because of the eight characters issue?"
Ah Chen turned and smiled at him, "Shouldn’t I be angry? You married me for benefit, and I’m not supposed to be mad? After marrying, you didn’t plan to develop feelings and just left me hanging, making me waste a month for nothing."
Yu Xiaoran, who intended to find fault, now didn’t know what to say. It seemed she was in the right.
He felt a little agitated, questioning for the first time whether bringing her into his life was right or wrong.
No, marrying her wasn’t wrong; otherwise, it would have been difficult to see her now, especially since the Lu Family Brothers also came back.
"This matter is indeed our fault. In the future, please don’t share our issues with others, okay? It doesn’t look good."
Ah Chen said, "You mean your family bullies me, and I can’t speak up? Do you think I’m a fool? Yu Xiaoran, why should I help you save face?"
Yu Xiaoran had a headache, his expression darkened, but he quickly regained his composure, trying to reason, "You’re also my wife, a part of the Yu Family. If Yu has problems, it won’t be good for you either."
"Oh, really? I feel like we’ll divorce in a year or so. By then, I won’t be Mrs. Yu anymore. I don’t own shares in Yu, so why should it concern me? Besides, some gossip won’t affect Yu’s operation. If it really becomes a problem, it’s due to your mismanagement."
Yu Xiaoran had nothing to say, as that was the truth.
He just felt that the stories spreading were unpleasant to hear.
Seeing Ah Chen so indifferent, his face turned cold, and he lost much of his patience, "How can we develop feelings if you’re like this? Maybe we need to calm down. Think it over; we only have over a year. If you keep acting irrationally, there’s no point in continuing."
"Can we divorce now?" Ah Chen smiled and asked.
Yu Xiaoran, about to leave, showed a twisted expression. Things had spiraled beyond his control; he never expected Bai Chen to be so difficult.
"Marriage isn’t child’s play. I hope you think clearly about whether to continue or separate, according to the agreed time."
He walked away quickly, fearing she might actually drag him to divorce.
If the Lu family applied pressure, creating a scene wouldn’t be good for Yu.
Ah Chen didn’t stop him. She wasn’t in a hurry; she just wanted to make Yu Xiaoran uncomfortable.
After all, he didn’t dare to divorce now.
Should she take this chance to irritate him?
Within a couple of days, Yu Xiaoran came to look for her again.
"There’s a significant birthday party on Saturday. Would you go with me? I’ll arrange for the dress and jewelry."
Yu Xiaoran’s earnest demeanor piqued Ah Chen’s curiosity.
Actually, Yu Xiaoran didn’t want to take Bai Chen, but the invitation mentioned them both. Although his foresight due to being reborn allowed him to advance Yu’s status, they still fell short with certain mysterious families and couldn’t yet enter their circles.
But thanks to his performance over the past two years, he could attend many events he previously couldn’t.
Regardless of whether the invitees valued Bai Chen, were curious about her eight characters, or just casually included her name, since she was mentioned, bringing her was necessary.
Ah Chen asked curiously, "Whose birthday party?"
Recollecting the memories of the commissioner, she found this was a chaotic time for her, unraveling truths, and Yu Xiaoran must have had little interest in discussing such matters.
To make Yu Xiaoran this serious, the person must be significant, and with the commissioner’s identity, she couldn’t know much.
"The head of the Ji Family, all you need is to know they are someone neither the Lu Family nor Yu Family can afford to offend."
This was an ancient, mysterious, and powerful family.
"Just don’t cause trouble then; otherwise, the Lu Family will be implicated by you," Yu Xiaoran warned.
The Ji surname? The commissioner’s memories had hints but not much.
Meanwhile, at the Ji Family.
"Big brother, when did you start caring so much about guests?" Ji Wufeng whispered, curious, "You never seemed to care this much before."
Ji Wuxue couldn’t help but add, "Is there someone you like among them?"
The family sharply turned their gazes to Ji Wuyan.
Ji Wuyan’s voice remained steady, "Don’t imagine things."
"Is there really no one? It wouldn’t be embarrassing; it’d be a good thing. Then we wouldn’t worry about you perishing alone out there," Ji Wufeng commented.
The rest agreed with his statement.
"Big brother, your ears are red. There’s clearly something, no lying, who is it? We can help take care of things for you."
Knowing they wouldn’t let it go without an answer, Ji Wuyan spoke, "She is someone else’s wife for now."
The Ji Family: ???
"But she’ll become my wife in the future."
The Ji Family was wide-eyed; the usually perfect Ji Wuyan was planning on taking someone’s wife? That... didn’t seem right.
"Don’t look at me like that, there’s no feeling between them," Ji Wuyan added, "They’ll divorce sooner or later."
"I’m waiting for her divorce."
The Ji Family: They thought he was going to take her directly; isn’t this a bit cowardly?
Ji Wuyan indeed thought of taking her directly, but feared displeasing her, and considering his own status...
