The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 408: Divorce, Leaving Him with Nothing

"Divorce? Are you kidding me?" Jiang Yueping tugged at the corner of his mouth, forcing a smile to make himself look relaxed.

Hu Fangqin, however, was very serious, seriously moving forward step by step, "I’m not joking! I’ve lived a life worse than that of pigs and dogs for the past twenty years, slaving away for you. And how have you treated me? All you think about is how to divide my family’s property! I’ve had enough, am I a fool? To leave behind the comfort of being the Hu family’s young mistress and suffer with you for so many years! Yes, I must have been foolish, even stupid! But now I’ve come to my senses!"

"Come to your senses? About what? You’re good for nothing. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t even know how to cook now, much less distinguish between different grains!"

"What a joke! If there are servants to do those things, why should I know how? I was only brainwashed by your PUA techniques before, that’s why I believed your nonsense!"

"You... Hu Fangqin, at your age, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if you get a divorce?"

"Elder brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, all my sisters-in-law, and also my aunt and stepmother, my uncles, would you laugh at me?" Hu Fangqin looked at the crowd, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Hu Guanghua immediately made his stance clear, "The only person we’d laugh at is Jiang Yueping, that useless mutt. How could we possibly laugh at you? If you’d come to your senses twenty years ago, how happy our family would have been?"

"But coming home now is not too late either. With Manman here, and dad awakened, everything has started to get better."

"Sister, don’t listen to his nonsense. I have many successful male resources over here. I’ll set you up on some dates. The market is tight for someone your age too!"

"That’s right, that’s right. Get some medical beauty treatments, and you can look as young and beautiful as us. Are you worried you won’t find a new place to belong?"

"Even if you don’t get married, it’s alright. With the Hu family’s substantial assets, we can easily support you for the rest of your life."

"Thank you, thank you." Hu Fangqin’s eyes brimmed with tears.

She truly regretted, so deeply regretted that her awakening came too late.

But from now on, every day, she would live well, make up for what she owed her aged father, and her entire family.

Of course, she would also compensate herself and truly live for herself for once.

"Leave the divorce to me; I will make sure he doesn’t leave with a cent!" Hu Yaohua stepped forward.

"Thank you, third brother." Hu Fangqin dabbed at her tears.

It’s so good to be pampered and loved by brothers, so good.

"Zhao Huai, take him away," Lu Xingzhou waved his hand.

There was no need to let Jiang Yueping jump around here any longer.

"Ah... don’t... Rourou... call the police for me..."

Jiang Yueping’s screams faded in the distance.

How could Jiang Rou dare to call the police?

She was like a frightened quail, only wishing to protect herself at this moment.

"It wasn’t my fault; it was my dad who stole the medicine and coaxed me to contact the dark web, and he insisted on doing the paternity test. I am his daughter; I can only obediently do as he says..."

"Die, b*tch, such a great actress!" Hu Ming couldn’t stand it anymore.

Just now, a servant had told her that they had checked the surveillance footage and found that it was Jiang Rou who had entered Chen Anna’s room, stealing the medicine, and accidentally spilled iodine, staining the wedding dress.

Originally, the wedding dress was well-protected in a dust bag; it was her who couldn’t resist wanting to check on the dress.

"You thought Anna’s room didn’t have surveillance, right? In fact, the camera was inside the eyes of the big bear sitting on the sofa." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"What???" Jiang Rou couldn’t believe her ears.

"One must always be wary. Originally, Anna disagreed with having surveillance in the room, but as she treasured the wedding dress so much, and there were other important items in the room, I took the liberty of placing that bear there."

"..." Jiang Rou was speechless, as she could find no more words to excuse herself.

With the surveillance as hard evidence, what more could she say?

"So it was you who dirtied my wedding dress!" Chen Anna flared up as soon as she heard, stepping forward and slapping her across the face.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

"If it weren’t for Manman, that dress would have been ruined! You harpy!"

"Sweetheart, sweetheart, don’t be agitated, please don’t get worked up. Now that aunt wants to divorce Jiang Yueping, Jiang Rou has no ties with our family anymore. Just give her a beating and kick her out."

"Do I still need to be beaten?" Jiang Rou looked up, hardly believing it.

"Stealing things, almost causing a disaster, ruining a wedding dress worth millions, getting beaten is already letting you off easy. Otherwise, we’d throw you into Crocodile Pond!"

"Don’t... I’m willing to take the beating... I’m willing..." Jiang Rou thought despondently about dying.

How did things turn out like this?

How on earth did they find out the location and time of the trade?

She couldn’t fathom it, truly couldn’t fathom it.

If the trade had succeeded, even if they were swept out of the Hu family, they would still have the 3 million!

Who in the world was it, who was harming them?

...

Soon, Jiang Rou was dragged away by two bodyguards.

As for where she was taken to be beaten, everyone tacitly chose not to ask.

It was a society governed by the rule of law, of course, they couldn’t be so brazen.

In any case, Jiang Rou would definitely end up battered and half-dead.

...

After handling the matter at hand, Lu Xingzhou immediately went to find Jiang Man.

Upon entering the presidential suite, he saw her standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, forlornly looking outside.

He knew her feelings at that moment must be hollow, like duckweed searching for a place to belong, right?

"Shoulder for you," he walked over and patted his shoulder.

Jiang Man hummed in response, tilting her head slightly.

"Take a moment, your four uncles are looking for you," he said softly.

"Okay," Jiang Man replied.

"Don’t be sad, there are many affections in this world that aren’t based on blood ties being the closest. Think about your old dad, think about Wu Yingfan, and me. Your uncles and brothers must feel the same way as us."

Jiang Man didn’t speak, her gaze fixed on the distance.

After a pause, she finally forced a smile: "Feels like I’ve had a dream. I originally returned to the country to find my relatives, and somehow ended up married to you."

"Do you still want to find your relatives? If so, I will accompany you this time."

Lu Xingzhou took her hand, interlocking their fingers.

"This time, you won’t be fighting alone, Jiang Man. You have me, you can rely on me more."

"Okay." Jiang Man smiled and looked at him sideways: "I won’t search anymore. What’s meant to be will eventually happen, and what’s not meant to be shouldn’t be forced."

"Lu Xingzhou, lend me some power to recharge."

Lu Xingzhou opened his arms.

Jiang Man buried her head into his chest, inhaling deeply the scent of him.

Lu Xingzhou held her tightly, and she responded, holding him in return.

They gave each other warmth, gave each other strength.

Jiang Man realized that she wasn’t invulnerable.

When vulnerable, having such an embrace felt truly comforting.

"Alright, I’m recharged, back to full health!"

"That fast?" Lu Xingzhou was slightly surprised.

Jiang Man smiled at him, her shyness rare: "I already had quite a lot of battery life."

"I thought you dropped below 20%."

"That wouldn’t happen." Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, returning to her usual cool and confident demeanor.

Only then did Lu Xingzhou feel relieved, taking her hand: "Then let’s go, your four uncles seem to have something very important to tell you."
