Chapter 780 I Won’t Sign, I Won’t Divorce
Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue had just left when Lu Qinghan and Lu Qingyou arrived.
"Where's Qin Muchen? I heard he came with his wife?" Lu Qingyou asked, looking around excitedly only to find no Qin Muchen or Su Ziyue. Ultimately she withdrew her gaze with disappointment.
Without intending to, she turned and saw Bai Yunan staring coldly at her.
She blinked, feeling confused. What did I do to offend him this time?
An Xia, on the other hand, understood the mystery in Bai Yunan's eyes and walked up to Lu Qingyou, saying, "They've already left. I'm going to find them later. You can come with me."
"Sure!" Lu Qingyou nodded vigorously.
With that, she ran off like the wind, swift and agile.
"Let's go inside. Everyone is waiting for us," Bai Yunan said grimly and walked ahead, entering the house first.
Meanwhile, An Xia whispered to Bai Jingshu, "Why is your older brother so easily annoyed by Qingyou?"
Bai Jingshu smiled and replied, "It's normal."
Once they entered the house, they stopped talking, for every member of the Bai family had gathered in
the hall, and the atmosphere was grave.
An Xia's gaze unexpectedly met Shu Yanian's.
Shu Yanian looked at An Xia, who returned unscathed, with seethed hatred, but she couldn't act on it.
She had to maintain a caring and magnanimous appearance. Upon noticing the bloodstains on An Xia's neck, she exclaimed in surprise, "Miss An, are you injured?"
An Xia smirked and implied, "Thanks to you, it's just a minor injury."
Shu Yanian's expression changed slightly, believing An Xia had already found out that she had helped those two capture her.
She clenched her hands tightly, desperately trying to come up with a plan. However, the more nervous she became, the less she could think of anything.
Suddenly, a scornful snigger came from the side. She turned her head and saw her husband, Bai Yeqi, looking at her with a mocking expression.
She was taken aback and reached out to hold his hand, saying, "Yeqi…"
Unexpectedly, Bai Yeqi brushed her hand off, his face sub-zero.
For a moment, Shu Yanian thought she was in a glacier cave. Has Bai Yeqi also discovered something?
She took a gander at the members of the Bai family. Though none of them looked at her, she thought they had already seen right through her.
Just then, Aunt Liu came over with the first aid kit and said to An Xia with concern, "It's good that you're okay."
"Yep." An Xia nodded and smiled at her.
Aunt Liu left with a smile. What a sweet girl.
Old Master Bai and Bai Mingxu remained silent throughout. It was only after Bai Jingshu finished treating An Xia's wounds that Bai Yunan spoke, "Since everyone is here today, let's discuss some family matters."
At that, he turned to Shu Yanian. "Do you want to explain yourself, or should I do it for you?"
Shu Yanian didn't expect Bai Yunan to be so direct. Regardless, she was Bai Yeqi's wife, yet he didn't give her due respect nor treat her as a member of the Bai family.
Yet, when something happened to An Xia, Bai Yunan put his work aside and helped Bai Jingshu search for her.
She seethed with anger, but she had to endure it. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She looked at Bai Yunan, puzzled, attempting to make a final struggle, "What are you talking about, Yunan?"
"I'll speak on your behalf, then," Bai Yunan sneered, his handsome face showing no mercy.
Shu Yanian was taken aback by Bai Yunan's icy gaze. Before she could retort, Bai Yunan coldly said, "You initially approached Jingshu with the intention of marrying into the Bai family, but when you realized that it wouldn't work, you learned about my schedule through Jingshu, arriving at the hotel I stayed in, pretending to have a chance encounter. You even had someone drug me, but I caught you red-handed. Then, you targeted Yeqi. I didn't want my own brother to be deceived by a woman, so I told Yeqi about it. But even so, he truly loves you and is still willing to marry you. Yet you… How many times have you tried to harm Yeqi? Have you ever thought about it?"
"I don't understand what you're saying, Yunan. I really haven't done any of those things…" Shu Yanian's face turned ashen as she looked at Bai Yeqi, hoping he would say a few words to defend her.
She grabbed Bai Yeqi's arm, her face full of pleading, "Yeqi, hear me out…"
However, Bai Yeqi pushed her hand away, his eyes filled with even more derision.
Bai Yunan caught every movement between the two and spoke with coldness and authority, "As for your instigation of the kidnappers to abduct An Xia, it depends on how Jingshu wants to deal with you. I won't go into detail about other matters."
At that, she looked up at Bai Yunan, who was dressed in protective gear, with short and neat hair, and sharp eyes, giving off a cold and serious aura, the typical appearance of the Bai family members.
They were protective of their own, and for a woman like her who had done things that were detrimental to the Bai family, they wouldn't show any mercy. Her only lifeline now was Bai Yeqi.
She thought that they wouldn't know about what she had done, but she clearly overestimated herself and underestimated the Bai family's abilities.
Shu Yanian now realized that denying everything was futile; nothing she did would go over their heads.
"I've learned my lesson, Yeqi. I won't do these things again. Please, beg them to spare me, okay?" Shu Yanian cried and begged Bai Yeqi. He was her only hope now.
"I'm a bit tired and will turn in now." Bai Yeqi pulled his hand away from her, stood up, and turned to walk upstairs.
An Xia watched Bai Yeqi's departing figure and felt a sense of desolation.
She never expected that Shu Yanian had seduced Bai Yunan and even attempted to harm Bai Yeqi.
Bai Yeqi must've loved Shu Yanian deeply, or how could he tolerate her time and time again?
At the same time, Bai Jingshu also understood what Bai Yunan meant by 'not a good match.'
He felt a mix of shock and relief.
"Sign the divorce agreement, and we'll see you in court." Bai Yunan threw the divorce agreement to Shu Yanian's front mercilessly.
"I won't sign, I won't divorce! Yeqi loves me so much. He won't abandon me!"
Bai Jingshu, with inexplicable anger, charged up to Shu Yanian, slammed the pen in front of her, and barked, "How are you worthy of his love? Sign it!"
Although he and Bai Yeqi had different mothers, they were still blood brothers. Even if they didn't get along, they couldn't simply stand by and watch one another be played by a woman.
"Jingshu, I did all this because of you. We can be together again once Yeqi is gone. How can An Xia be worthy of you? I know you don't love her!" With her doings exposed, Su Yanian knew exactly what would be awaiting her, and she was already devastated, her words becoming incoherent.
Bai Jingshu sneered and waved his hand. His two subordinates came forward, holding Shu Yanian's hand and forcing her to sign the agreement.
However, Shu Yanian still attempted to struggle. "I won't sign, I won't divorce! Yeqi!"
