After the divorce, my ex-wife's sister collapsed.
Fifteen minutes later, Anya dropped Li Ziheng off at the entrance of Jiang's Enterprise. Jiang's Enterprise was located in a commercial district on the third ring road of Yuncheng City. It mainly engaged in pharmaceutical research and development and sales, and had broken into overseas markets this year, with its annual profits being extremely substantial. Of course, a large part of the reason for its smooth progress was the secret support of his mother. Otherwise, with the limited capabilities of Jiang's Enterprise, not to mention breaking into overseas markets, even the research and development of new drugs would be problematic. A month ago, Li Ziheng had visited the office building of Jiang's Enterprise many times, so the receptionist and most of the company staff recognized him. Li Ziheng went straight to General Manager Jiang Wan's office. Before knocking, Li Ziheng heard Cheng Hao's voice coming from the office, mixed with Jiang Wan's delicate laughter. "Knock knock knock—" Li Ziheng didn't say anything, just clenched the divorce agreement in his hand and knocked on the door expressionlessly. Then he pushed the door and entered. Upon entering, he saw Jiang Wan sitting in the office chair, her left hand propping up her chin, her right hand fiddling with a pen, looking at Cheng Hao with a smile on her lips. Her eyes shone as she looked at Cheng Hao, a look that only appeared when one likes someone, a look that Li Ziheng had never seen in the five years he had been with Jiang Wan. Cheng Hao was sitting on the sofa in the office with his handsome legs crossed, talking confidently about something. When they saw Li Ziheng walk in, both of their expressions changed. The smiles disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable sense of guilt and embarrassment. Cheng Hao uncrossed his legs, feigned calmness, took out his phone, and played with it with his head down. Jiang Wan coughed lightly, sat up straight, and said seriously, "Husband, you're here?"
When she looked at Li Ziheng, the light in her eyes also disappeared. Li Ziheng's heart twitched in pain. He smiled, casting a glance at Cheng Hao: 'Sorry, am I interrupting you two?' Cheng Hao perked up his ears, seemingly engrossed in his phone, but in reality, the screen hadn't changed at all. 'My husband, what are you talking about? Cheng Hao just had some questions about work, so he came to ask me!' Jiang Wan evaded his gaze, explaining impatiently. Li Ziheng and Jiang Wan had been married for five years, and he was very familiar with her little gestures and details. Whenever Jiang Wan lied, her eyes would become evasive, unable to meet Li Ziheng's gaze. Li Ziheng didn't expose her, but asked calmly, 'Previously, over the phone, you promised me that as long as I apologized to Cheng Hao, you would agree to anything I asked. Does that still stand?' 'Of course!' Jiang Wan's eyes lit up with joy as she replied, 'This was your fault to begin with. Cheng Hao and I are innocent; you misunderstood him and even hit him. Shouldn't you apologize?' 'Also, there's something you might not know! Cheng Hao is very capable; he's the business department head I managed to hire with great difficulty.' 'The new drugs our company developed were unable to break into overseas markets, and it was thanks to Cheng Hao using his connections that we were able to open up those channels!' 'If it weren't for Cheng Hao, our company might not have been able to enter the overseas market for ten years.' 'But now it's different. We not only occupy a portion of the domestic market but have also opened up overseas channels. The future looks promising!'
Speaking of Cheng Hao's abilities, Jiang Wan's eyes lit up, as if she were proud of him. 'So, both publicly and privately, you should apologize to Cheng Hao! Shouldn't you?' After saying that, Jiang Wan stood up, walked over to Li Ziheng, and tried to take his hand. But Li Ziheng skillfully avoided it. Jiang Wan wasn't angry about this; she just thought that Li Ziheng was still throwing a tantrum. She didn't care and thought that once they got back, she would comfort him and coax him, which would be fine. After all, in her memory, Li Ziheng had always been a man with no temper and very easy to pacify. Jiang Wan urged, 'Honey, you should apologize to Cheng Hao quickly! Otherwise, he might resign, he might leave the company! If he leaves, the company will suffer a great loss!' Li Ziheng looked deeply at Jiang Wan, gave a self-mocking smile, and nodded, 'Okay, I'll apologize!' 'I'm sorry!' Li Ziheng clenched his fist tightly, the words 'I'm sorry' seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth with great effort. Cheng Hao raised his head, with a very 'confused' expression. He first looked at Jiang Wan, then turned to Li Ziheng and smiled, 'Are you guys talking to me? Sorry, I was playing with my phone and didn't notice!' 'Crack—' Li Ziheng's fist was clenched so tightly that the joints made a crisp cracking sound. Jiang Wan's face changed, and she said coquettishly, 'Cheng Hao, just now Ziheng apologized to you, whether you heard it or not, I did, so let's just drop it, you are not allowed to mention it again in the future, got it?' 'Okay, okay, I got it! Don't be so fierce, it's scary!'
“If you didn't know, you'd think you were going to 'eat' me up!” Cheng Hao raised his hands in a feigned fear, surrendering. When he said the word 'eat', his tone noticeably intensified, and at the same time, his eyes seemed to glance sideways at Li Ziheng. He was provoking Li Ziheng. Right in front of Jiang Wan, he was provoking Li Ziheng. Li Ziheng naturally understood, but Jiang Wan seemed not to realize it. “Pfft—” Jiang Wan couldn't help but laugh, giving Cheng Hao a glare. This atmosphere was like a knife to Li Ziheng's heart, unbearable. He took a deep breath and turned to Jiang Wan, saying, “I've done what I promised you, now it's your turn!” Seeing Li Ziheng's serious expression, Jiang Wan frowned slightly. She smiled bitterly with a mix of speechlessness and helplessness, “Alright, alright, I give in to you! Tell me, what do you want? Say it, and I'll agree to it!” Hearing this, Cheng Hao also looked curiously at Li Ziheng, seemingly very interested in what request Li Ziheng would make. “Good!” Li Ziheng nodded and handed the divorce agreement to Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan was somewhat puzzled, but still reached out to take it. When she saw the words 'divorce agreement' on it, Jiang Wan's expression instantly solidified. Her hand holding the divorce agreement stiffened, and she looked at Li Ziheng with a disbelieving gaze. “You... you want a divorce with me?”
Jiang Wan's voice trembled slightly as she stared intently into Li Ziheng's eyes, as if trying to find something within his gaze. But to her disappointment, Li Ziheng's eyes were very calm. So calm that there wasn't even the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if divorce was not such an important matter to him. 'Snap—' The divorce agreement in her hand fell to the ground, and Jiang Wan's eyes suddenly reddened. Her chest felt blocked like it was stuffed with cotton, making it difficult for her to breathe. She gently bit her lip and asked uncertainly, 'Li Ziheng, do you really want to divorce me?'
