Being A Shrew to My Ex-Husband After Our Divorce Novel - Chapter 231
Chapter 231 Spending the Holiday Alone
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong immediately said unhappily, “Dad, I know you’ve wanted me to go to Dharma City for a long time, but that place is really too backward. You can’t exile me to that kind of godforsaken place for such a small matter.”
Without waiting for him to finish, Old Master Lin interrupted, “If you don’t go, I’ll completely cut off all of your finances and then drive you out of the Lin family. From now on, you’ll be left to fend for yourself outside.”
Lin Qiong didn’t dare to gamble. He knew that Old Master Lin was a man of his word, so he didn’t dare to say anything else. He could only say reluctantly, “Okay, okay, okay, I got it.”
Seeing that he agreed, Old Master Lin took a deep breath and raised his hand to rub his temples. His old face was full of fatigue. “Okay, if there’s nothing else, get out. Xia Jing and Lin Yang, stay for a while.” Xia Jing’s heart tightened. She knew that it was her turn next. Just now, he had chased Lin Qiong away as a formality to put on a show of justice. This way, when he dealt with her, she wouldn’t even have the chance to refute. After all, he had even exiled his own son, let alone an unworthy daughter-in-law like her?
Fortunately, their conversation was very smooth. After successfully obtaining a cash compensation worth three million from Old Master Lin and three sets of stores located downtown, she became a true “abandoned wife of a wealthy family”.
Although Su Yan predicted her fate, she was too lazy to think about it. Xia Jing had always been a proud and arrogant person since she was young. Later on, when she married into a wealthy family, she became even more high and mighty. Arrogance and despotism became synonymous with her. Because of this, she had made a lot of enemies. When the daughters of the wealthy family that she had befriended learned that she had been kicked out by the Lin family, they immediately blacklisted her. Many of her good friends even gloated over her misfortune.
As for Su Yan, she found out all of this because of Tang Yitong because Tang Yitong had a wide network of friends all over the world. When she saw that someone had posted this on her WeChat moments, she immediately took a screenshot and forwarded it to Su Yan.
Tang Yitong praised, “As expected of Yan Yan. How impressive. Initially, I thought that you would only be able to teach her a small lesson. In the end, you KO-ed her.”
Su Yan ate dumplings as she replied, “It seems that Lin Zhiqiang is also a ruthless person. He didn’t even let Xia Jing spend Spring Festival in the Lin family.”
Hearing the name Lin Zhiqiang, Tang Yitong said worriedly, “I heard from Xingyu that the Lin family is very powerful in Feng City. Lin Zhiqiang is a big shot that we can’t afford to offend. You have to be careful!”
Su Yan’s lips twitched. “What are you panicking about? I’m not afraid. Brings it on.”
Tang Yitong said, “Yan Yan, don’t tell me you’ve given up on yourself?”
Su Yan asked back, “Given up on myself? Are you sure I’m not scheming?”
Tang Yitong shrugged. She felt that she couldn’t continue this topic. It seemed that her comprehension ability needed to be improved. Tang Yitong changed the topic and asked, “Oh right, Xingyu and I are going to make dumplings in a while. Are you sure you don’t want to come and celebrate the new year with
us?”
Su Yan smiled and said, “Forget it. I don’t want to be a third wheel and disturb the two of you.”
Tang Yitong replied, “Then won’t you feel lonely on New Year’s Eve?”
Hearing this, Su Yan couldn’t help but tease, “You’re really something. You’re able to snub me now.”
Tang Yitong defended herself, “Hey, what are you talking about? I’m a top student who graduated from a prestigious university with a bachelor’s degree, alright?”.
Su Yan said with a playful look, “Tsk, even bachelor’s degree graduates are so snarky. How impressive.”
Tang Yitong was speechless. Why did she feel as if her IQ was being mocked every time she spoke to Su Yan? She felt the disdain of a straight-A student! After the two of them chatted for a while, Su Yan hung up the phone. Then, she clicked on the latest movie and watched it as she ate dumplings.
Today was a traditional holiday that had been passed down for 4,000 years — Spring Festival. It was also the first time Su Yan spent the biggest festival of the year alone.
Sunshine City was a relatively old residential area in Feng City. However, it was this relatively old environment that seemed especially lively during the new year. Children’s laughter could be heard from time to time, and there would be the sound of firecrackers exploding.
