Chapter 10: Apologize!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If I don’t have someone I like, I won’t divorce you.

No matter how much he said, it was these words that gave Su Wan great hope.

She was moved by how well he treated her in the past two years.

Looking at the smug expression on her face, Su Wan chuckled. “But that’s not what Jing Chen told me. He said that the two of you are done. The marriage between him and me is not something an outsider like you can control.”

“You believe everything he says? Then tell me, why are you guys about to divorce after I came back?”

Bai Lian raised her chin slowly and smiled. “Stop lying to yourself, you pitiful creature.”

“In order to protect me, he had no choice but to lie to all of you. Otherwise, with Jing Hai’s methods, do you think I won’t suffer?”

Su Wan was rendered speechless by her words. No matter what she said, it couldn’t compare to her divorce.

Just as Su Wan stood rooted to the spot, not knowing what to say to retaliate.

Bai Lian, who had the upper hand, started to tear up. She covered her face and cried, “Su Wan! Why are you treating me like this? I’m not a third party! I’m not a third party. How can you say such hurtful words…”

Just as she finished speaking.

Jing Chen walked over from behind Su Wan, his face full of doubt and worry for Bai Lian.

He looked at Su Wan in shock and asked concernedly, “What’s wrong? What did Su Wan say?”

Bai Lian sobbed, her words slurred and incoherent. “She… she said she’d try her best not to divorce with you. She told me to get as far away from you as I could as a third party. She also said that you didn’t like me anymore, Jing Chen. She said you were only nice to me out of guilt. She told me to be tactful and get lost.”

Jing Chen looked at Su Wan in confusion. He was so angry that he laughed. “How could Su Wan say such things?”

“What kind of person is she in your heart that she can’t say such things? Then what did I hear just now? Was it a hallucination?”

Bai Lian looked so pitiful, her tears never stopped flowing. It was pouring like a thunderstorm. Just looking at it made Su Wan’s heartache, not to mention Jing Chen, who liked her. Seeing this, he looked at Su Wan and said meaningfully, “I really didn’t know you had such a side to you.”

Su Wan raised her eyebrows. “Do you think I don’t know how to cry? But I’m not going to, because people want their face and trees want their skin. A shameless person is not only pitiful but also a joke. I’m not a clown on the acrobatic stage. I can’t do such a funny thing.”

The more Bai Lian listened, the louder she sobbed. “Jing Chen, look, she doesn’t even restrain herself in front of you!”

Su Wan glanced at her coldly, then looked up and stared at Jing Chen. “I have never said those things. I won’t admit it.”

Jing Chen said meaningfully, “I didn’t expect you to have such an eloquent side.”

Su Wan’s expression was determined and full of hostility. Jing Chen had never seen such a look before. Now that he saw it, Jing Chen felt that it was rather glaring. Her fierce look made Jing Chen feel annoyed.

“You apologize.”

Bai Lian looked pleased.

Su Wan’s face was dark as she stared at Jing Chen and repeated, “I have never said those things.”

“Why would she frame you? She should be the one benefiting from this. Why is she still competing with you? Are you jealous of her because you’re about to lose everything?”

Jing Chen’s words sounded extremely funny to Su Wan.

The funny thing is that

she was also puzzled.

She tilted her head and looked at Bai Lian. “I never thought that the person you like would be such a woman who likes to play tricks. To be honest, you’ve opened my eyes today!”

After saying that, Su Wan didn’t want to see them anymore. She walked towards the door and prepared to leave.

Apologize to her?!

Not even in their wildest dreams!

Bai Lian didn’t even have evidence! How can Jing Chen just ask her to apologize so blatantly?

Did they have evidence to prove that she did it?

Just because you like someone doesn’t mean you can be unreasonable!

Su Wan gritted her teeth in anger. She had just taken two steps when she heard Jing Chen’s surprised voice.

“Mom, why are you here?”

Qin Lan was Jing Chen’s mother. Su Wan had only interacted with her on a few occasions, and Qin Lan had always been gentle and caring towards her. However, Qin Lan had been living in such a family for many years, so she had a natural disposition. In addition, she had a cold expression on her face, making it hard for others to get close to her.

Jing Chen’s coldness was quite similar to that of his mother.
