Chapter 413: Chapter 412: Verdant Grasslands
Hearing Ding Yuejun’s words, Zheng Xiangxin stared at her intently and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
"Hmph... I wouldn’t go so far as to slander someone. You two even bought a house in South City to carry on your affair. The neighbors around there already know you two. Everyone else thinks you’re a couple, which shows how close you usually are."
At this moment, Old Master Ding threw a stack of documents directly in front of Wei Hanyou and Wei Hanliang, saying, "Words alone aren’t proof; the evidence is all here. You two take a look yourselves."
Wei Hanyou was even more anxious than Wei Hanliang. He stepped forward to flip through the documents. When he saw the photos and content on them, he trembled with rage, and then threw the documents down, glaring angrily at Zheng Xiangxin, "What exactly did Hanliang do to deserve this from you? Why did you do such a thing? It turns out you’ve been having an affair for so many years. You’re such a promiscuous woman, it’s disgusting."
His younger brother had suffered so much because of this woman over the years, and now the woman even cuckolded his brother.
At this point, he was somewhat relieved his brother didn’t have children. Otherwise, who could say whose child it really was?
Wei Hanliang also slowly looked through the documents, and when he clearly saw the content, his face was full of astonishment.
Qu Yiqi, standing nearby, naturally saw the content clearly as well. A hint of complexity flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head and said, "Xiangxin, why would you do this? Hanliang has been good enough to you. How could you find someone else? What can that man offer compared to Hanliang?"
This husband’s younger brother had looks, money, and power. Yet Zheng Xiangxin didn’t want such a husband and chose to find another man. It was truly baffling.
Zheng Xiangxin said nothing in return but looked directly at Wei Hanliang, as if trying to bore a hole through him with her eyes.
At this moment, Old Master Ding glanced curiously at Wei Hanliang and said, "You really didn’t notice anything about this matter?"
Wei Hanliang’s eyes reflected some pain as he chuckled mockingly, saying, "I’ve been so busy; I come home in a hurry. How could I possibly notice such things? I thought, despite our quarrels, that we walked this road together for so many years and there was some affection between us. Turns out, it was all just my wishful thinking."
Zheng Xiangxin, who initially had a calm demeanor, suddenly turned frantic upon hearing Wei Hanliang’s words, "Wei Hanliang, you’re like this again. You never care about my affairs. All you see is work, work, and more work. Sometimes I’m deliberately late coming home, and you don’t even ask. Do you not care where I go?"
From the moment she met Wei Hanliang, it was love at first sight, and she was completely besotted with him afterward, so much so that she had her father use a life-saving favor to pressure him into marrying her.
But a few years into their marriage, she grew cold-hearted and loveless.
Who can endure a husband who has no place for them in his heart? Initially, she was pained and deliberately stayed out early and came home late, hoping her husband would show some concern, but Wei Hanliang would never ask her anything. Wouldn’t he at least ask what she was up to?
Because of Wei Hanliang’s neglect, she found a man outside, and this went on for over a decade.
Sometimes she feared being found out, yet yearned for Wei Hanliang to discover her infidelity, but every time she was disappointed. Not only did Wei Hanliang fail to notice, but he wouldn’t even glance at her new clothes or hairstyles.
"Wei Hanliang, it’s because of your indifference that I gave up. Sometimes I deliberately stayed out late, dressed up flamboyantly to catch your attention, hoping you’d notice something’s amiss. But you wouldn’t even ask a single question."
Finally, as her eyes reddened, Zheng Xiangxin couldn’t help but be filled with even more resentment.
Ding Yuejun glanced at Zheng Xiangxin and then at Wei Hanliang. While she had suspected issues between the couple before, she hadn’t anticipated the problems being this severe. However, Zheng Xiangxin chose the wrong method. Even if she wanted her husband’s attention, she shouldn’t have gone about it this way.
As Wei Hanliang listened to Zheng Xiangxin’s words, he fell silent.
Reflecting on the years past, he realized she was somewhat right. Climbing from the bottom to his current position was no easy feat, demanding more of his time and attention on work. He hadn’t had the time to care about the clothes his wife wore or new hairstyles, and her staying out late was something he understood. After all, he was rarely at home on time himself, so he didn’t question her, not realizing this would lead her to seek someone else outside.
Qu Yiqi, witnessing the scene, couldn’t help but shake her head.
But Wei Hanyou remained furious, "That’s no excuse for betraying Hanliang. You knew he was so busy, yet instead of offering support, you weighed him down with your antics. Hanliang marrying you was literally his worst luck in eight generations."
Even after saying this, Wei Hanyou still felt dissatisfied, directly addressing Wei Hanliang, "Hanliang, the aid you’ve given your wife’s family over the years more than repays your father-in-law’s life-saving favor, so we can’t keep Zheng Xiangxin any longer. Just divorce her and settle this today."
Hearing his brother’s words, Wei Hanliang couldn’t help but look at him.
Wei Hanyou, seeing this, spoke sternly, "What, are you still planning to keep this woman? Don’t you know your head’s already wearing a vast green pasture?"
Yiyi, hearing this, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Uncle Wei’s metaphor was indeed fitting, it’s truly a vast green field.
And Wei Hanliang, hearing his brother’s words, looked a bit troubled. Although he didn’t have much affection for Zheng Xiangxin, she was still his wife. Now that this wife had cuckolded him, his feelings were inevitably complicated.
"Hanliang, go and get the divorce now."
"Wei Hanyou, our marital issues don’t concern you," Zheng Xiangxin stepped forward and spat in Wei Hanyou’s direction, "You’d better manage your own marital affairs. Although your sister-in-law seems gentle, who knows if she has someone else outside?"
"Zheng Xiangxin..."
Hearing these words, Qu Yiqi was livid. She initially thought this sister-in-law, though hateful, was somewhat pitiable. But seeing her splashing filth even at the end, left Qu Yiqi with nothing but contempt.
Old Master Ding promptly interrupted their quarrels, coldly saying, "I don’t care about your divorce, I just want to know how the Wei family plans to handle this matter."
