BANG!
The coffee that had just been brought in was smashed to pieces.
Frightened, the female secretary scrambled to her feet and fled.
Director Si is actually getting divorced! This "goddess" is really something!
Yan Qing, swallowing his apprehension, said, "Your wife is a legal genius from A University. She has never lost a case she's fought, and over the years, she has turned the tide in many of Haohan Group's lawsuits. If she wants a divorce, you really don't stand much of a chance against her."
"According to legal regulations, after a two-year separation, the wife can apply for a forced divorce. Director Si, have you really not touched your wife for two years?"
Si Yuhuan looked up, giving him a deathly glare.
Yan Qing wished a hole would open up and swallow him.
Being Director Si's secretary is too damn hard!
However, it was common knowledge among Si Yuhuan's close circle that he disliked Jian Xi. And it was also common knowledge how Jian Xi shamelessly clung to Si Yuhuan. This sudden change had caught everyone off guard.
But with the divorce, Director Si's childhood sweetheart, Jiang Qimeng, could legitimately become Mrs. Si. Wouldn't that be a good thing? I'm a bit confused, Yan Qing thought.
"Send these to the media."
Si Yuhuan flung his phone.
Divorce? Only I get to decide that!
When Yan Qing saw the photos on it clearly, his eyes lit up instantly.
Soon, the "intimate photos" of Si Yuhuan and Jian Xi in bed from that one night reached the judge.
Jian Xi was so furious after seeing them that she nearly spat blood.
"Does he have no shame?! These 'bed photos' were from the night we discussed the divorce! We got into a physical tussle after a disagreement, and because of the peculiar angle, they look like intimate photos!"
The ironclad evidence of their separation, which she had painstakingly collected, was thus effortlessly neutralized. Jian Xi was so enraged she wanted to strangle him.
Wan Yu, peeling an apple, took a bite. "If you ask me, could it be that he's fallen in love with you and doesn't want to get divorced?"
Jian Xi scoffed. A conscience? Is Si Yuhuan even capable of possessing such a luxury? That man is a complete idiot!
"He probably thinks I'm asking for too much. Now that I'm willing to leave without a penny, he'll definitely sign immediately."
I didn't even expect myself to be this clear-headed, Jian Xi thought.
"That damn scumbag! He truly is despicable! Just wait until your parents and brothers get back; he'll get what's coming to him! I support you! Let's thrash that heartless bastard!"
Wan Yu raised her small fist, vowing her support.
As a legal genius, how could I accept defeat so easily? Intimate photos! Ridiculous! I'll send him straight to prison for perjury! To hell with him! Jian Xi fumed internally.
On the day of the court hearing, she drove to the hospital early.
To her surprise, she ran into Little Naigou right outside an examination room.
"Sister, are you sick? Why are you here?"
Jian Xi paused. It's only been a few days, and I'd nearly forgotten about Little Naigou, she thought.
Jian Xi felt quite awkward. After they had finalized the Silicon Crystal acquisition agreement that night, she had her older brother's secretary handle the contract signing the next day to avoid any potential awkwardness, so she hadn't appeared at all.
I can't believe I ran into him here! As a "business partner," Jian Xi greeted him warmly, "I'm fine, just here for a routine health check-up."
Then she heard a nurse call out, "Number thirty-seven, Jian Xi, for the hymen examination! Please hurry!"
Jian Xi was speechless. ... I only came here to get irrefutable proof for the judge of our two-year separation! I never imagined I'd run into someone I know... For a moment there, I wanted to flee to outer space. To get this divorce, I've lost so much face, it feels like it's been thrown into the Pacific Ocean!
Little Naigou didn't tease her. Instead, his eyes shining, he sidled up to her. "Sister, are you married but... widowed?"
His barely concealed excitement and elation were obvious.
Jian Xi was again speechless. ... Marrying a man like Si Yuhuan is no different from being widowed, she thought grimly.
"You're just a kid, what do you know!" Blushing furiously, she practically fled into the examination room.
When she came out, Chu Xiao was still there.
"Sister, can I treat you to a meal?"
Jian Xi had important matters to attend to and was in no mood to get further entangled with Little Naigou. "I don't have time now. Some other day, perhaps. And don't you dare mention this to anyone!"
He persisted, "Sister, you're getting this examination for your divorce, right?"
Only then did Jian Xi realize she had left her divorce papers on the chair.
She snatched them back. "It's none of your concern!"
Then she fled as if for her life.
Once outside, Jian Xi discovered her car had been towed for illegal parking.
She tried to hail a cab, but in the crowded area, the line stretched for eight hundred meters. By the time she reached the courthouse, it would probably be tomorrow.
Man proposes, God disposes! This is so frustrating it makes my teeth ache! Don't tell me even the heavens are conspiring against me divorcing that utter scumbag Si Yuhuan?
Just then, a clear voice called out.
"Sister, hop in! I'll take you wherever you need to go."
Little Naigou appeared with a smile. His innocently handsome face, combined with Jian Xi's desperate need for help, made it difficult for her to refuse.
She briskly opened the passenger door. "The courthouse."
Her do-or-die, indignant resolve, giving her the air of a formidable career woman—especially in her sharp black power suit that exuded a distinctive professional flair—left Little Naigou completely smitten.
"You can do it, Sister!" Little Naigou cheered as she was about to leave. "After the divorce, I'll marry you!"
Jian Xi, flustered and eager to leave, was utterly mortified.
How did I never notice I had such romantic prospects before? she wondered.
She had no idea that Little Naigou's well-intentioned "help" would make her divorce even more fraught with difficulties.
「」
Parked around the corner was an incredibly flashy Cayenne. Inside, Si Yuhuan's face was thunderously dark, veins bulging on his forehead from barely suppressed rage. He had witnessed the entire preceding scene, and his emotions churned with unprecedented fury.
No wonder she's so desperate for a divorce, such a sudden change of heart! So, she's found someone else!
"That floozy! How dare she cuckold me! A divorce? Dream on!" Si Yuhuan seethed.
「In the courtroom」
Because both parties were prominent figures, no one else was present at the hearing aside from the judge and two assessors.
The lawyers for both sides argued relentlessly, each sticking firmly to their respective claims.
Right in front of Si Yuhuan, Jian Xi resolutely presented her medical report.
"Your Honor, this report was issued within the last hour; it's impossible to falsify. To this day, I remain a virgin. In three years of marriage, there has been no consummation. We have lived apart for over two years. The evidence is irrefutable. The lewd photos Si Yuhuan submitted are inadmissible as evidence."
Jian Xi, her face flushed, submitted the evidence with a do-or-die determination.
The judge pondered deeply.
Just as he was about to deem the evidence valid, Si Yuhuan, who had been silent until then, spoke up. "Who can prove I've never touched you?"
"Are you telling me there's a third party witnessing a couple's private affairs? What does that membrane prove anyway? So what if I'm small? Can't I still be potent?"
At these words, everyone stared at Si Yuhuan in utter disbelief.
