LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 9: Divorce
A woman with flashy makeup and mascara, dressing an exquisite dress walked out of the crowd with an haughty air.
Naturally, the onlookers had opened up a way for her, eager to watch drama.
No matter the highs or lows of society, e everyone enjoyed a drama on other's expenses.
As soon as she appeared, her man was visibly disoriented while the son was happy.
It was a strange scene.
The son she gave birth to was happy to see the one who stole her husband and marriage away while her husband wasn't so active anymore.
The wife of the director of Tianfu Electronics, Cie Zhen, really had a look of astonishment in disbelief.
After all, who wouldn't expect their own flesh and blood, their children, to side with them when faced with injustice.
It was one thing to get cheated on by her husband of so many years, but for the sake of her son, she could tolerate it to some extent.
Yet the scandal had broken out of the blue in a public gathering no less.
And the scene of her son's star-like eyes as he watched the brazen Mistress really made Cie Zhen feel dizzy and almost faint.
Thankfully her brother was there to support her and she took his support without regard for anyone else.
Only... the brazen Mistress seemed idiotic enough to not know...
"Hah! Look at you acting to fall into another's embrace in front of your husband and you think you have the nerve to act hurt?"
Her words were followed by her footsteps stopping and a condescending look down on the legal wife.
It was really... a mind boggling scene yet everyone seemed to be rather enjoying it.
While some women did feel sympathy, especially after experiencing something similar.
There were also women who faulted her for not being good enough to hold down the man... somehow.
And the last category, the mistresses who won over legal wives or those who supported the mistress.
[Oh my God! How can human hearts be so twisted!]
Suddenly, Ming Yue's inner voice entered the dazed cool elder sister's ears and she couldn't help but perk up, ready to hear some explosive gossip.
Till now she wasn't sure of the authenticity, but some part of it could be trusted or so she was led to believe.
No matter how stubborn she wanted to be, she wasn't a dunce.
Yet the next words... were truly hard to believe.
[Not only did her husband go around sleeping with matrons, but also with his mistress and even used his wife's family name and connections to develop Tianfu Electronics into what it is today, but!]
[This scumbag dared to sell it off to the Mistress without regard for his wife, knowing divorce was inevitable after knowing how his son kept his affair hidden and even liked her more.]
[So... there's no redemption for this son! He is the one who invited his father's Mistress and wanted others to know her so that everyone will believe her to be his legal wife and not some mistress.]
[But! It went opposite of his expectations, labeling her a mistress, causing his expression to turn ugly... which his mother misunderstood as his sympathy for her!]
[So exasperating!]
At this point, the cool elder sister felt like she was the only one who could hear these explosive thoughts as everyone seemed to actually feel a little sympathy for the mother-son pair despite their recent altercation.
After all, if they could hear the the truth, if it could be even called that, they'd feel utterly disgusted by the father-son pair.
Thankfully, the transfer of shares or sale of it wasn't complete yet.
There was still some hope for salvation for Cie Zhen to get some compensation as the legal wife.
Little did anyone know, the only one thinking of getting more than just compensation was actually Ming Yue.
[Why only get compensation? She should also take away his position as the Director of Tianfu Electronics.]
[After all, how could a man so busy with sleeping with various women have the energy to run a company properly?]
[If not for his wife taking care of most of the work from behind the doors, how would the company ever rise?]
[And if not for Tianfu Electronics, why would the Cie family give face to their son-in-law and allow him to use their name and connections?]
[The moment they discover it was actually the hidden efforts of one of their own, they'll eventually destroy Tianfu Electronics. But isn't that a bit of a pity...]
And as if eager to gain more information, Ming Yue ended up going deeper and discovering a hidden secret.
[What the hell?! So crazy!!]
Ming Yue directly exclaimed and even her expression turned to a complicated look when she looked at Cie Zhen.
And the latter interpreted it as slight guilt for herself as it was indeed partly caused by Ming Yue's situation.
Had she not ignored her son, he wouldn't overstep his bounds, making her step up and even slap in public.
But... was it the young lady's fault?
No!
It was clearly her failure in teaching her son, so how could she let a young lady feel guilt?
But she couldn't say anything except smiling bitterly at her.
And this whole exchange was witnessed by the inner voice hearing big sister who was dying to know the secret.
It was to the point she wanted to call her brother and directly ask to investigate Tianfu Electronics and its director.
[So that's how it is... I see! It turns out Cie Zhen was supposed to be the heir despite being a girl because of her exceptional buisness skills yet she ended up choosing a carrier in Electronics and they still supported her fully.]
[It wasn't until she fell in love with an inferior man that they really couldn't hold it in anymore and changed their heirs.]
[Their family, albeit not comparable to true wealthy families, it couldn't be allowed to be swallowed by hyenas from outside.]
Understanding this logic, Ming Yue really had to say... This guy! He had the nerve tk not only destroy a girl's bright career, but also her feelings and heart.
"Divorce. Nothing else."
