Chapter 126: The Embarrassed Wei Nan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wei Nan stood frozen in place, acutely aware of the audacity he displayed by crossing the boundaries of marriage after Wei Xin’s birth. He justified his actions based on his knowledge of Lin Wan’s profound love for him, using that love as a license to trample upon her sincerity without restraint. The notion of Lin Wan ever ceasing to love him or seeking a divorce had never even crossed his mind.
Wei Nan’s indecisiveness drew a frown from Lin Wan, who urged him impatiently, “Hurry up, I’m in a hurry.”
Her impatience wounded Wei Nan’s pride, prompting him to question loudly, “Do you hold me in such low regard? Can’t you wait for me to sign it? I won’t sign it if you don’t want me to!”
Wei Nan picked up the divorce letter from the table, poised to tear it apart, when Lin Wan’s calm voice pierced the air. The coldness in her words sent shivers down Wei Nan’s spine.
“If you don’t sign it today, I will expose to the entire alliance tomorrow that vou, Wei Nan, the esteemed head of the Wei family, not only betraved me but also fathered a talented illegitimate daughter,” Lin Wan declared, her gaze fixed on him with indifference. “What do you think, Head of the Wei family?”
Lin Wan’s words drenched Wei Nan in a cold sweat. As one of the five aristocratic families in the alliance, the Wei family placed utmost importance on reputation. If news were to spread about his affair and the existence of an illegitimate daughter, Lin Wan wouldn’t need to take any action. Her father and the other family elders would swiftly strip her of her position as the head of the family. He would lose everything, and the shame would haunt the Wei family for generations to come.
Gritting his teeth, Wei Nan seized a pen and hastily scrawled his name in the signature column.
“Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Wei. I will take Wei Xin with me now,”
Lin Wan said with a smile. Her previous actions were all intended to disrupt Wei Nan’s composure, preventing him from examining the contents of the agreement.
As expected, Wei Nan’s realization that she intended to take Wei Xin away prompted regret for not reading the agreement. Yet, with the document now in Lin Wan’s possession, Wei Nan attempted to snatch it away, only to be intercepted by a sudden appearance of a bodyguard.
Despite his status as the head of the Wei family and an A-rank expert, Wei Nan struggled relentlessly to break free, channeling his mental strength to no avail. The bodyguard’s grip remained unyielding.
Observing Wei Nan’s futile struggle, Lin Wan smiled mercilessly and taunted, “You’ve been immersed in luxury all these years. Do you still consider yourself an A-rank expert capable of single-handedly battling ten opponents?”
“It’s you! What have you done to me? How can I be unable to defeat these B-rank trash?!” Wei Nan’s face flushed with anger. It was only natural. No man could tolerate being ruthlessly mocked by someone who used to be so close.
“Since I’ve already decided to deceive you, do you think I would hire ordinary bodyguards with nothing more than A-rank mental strength?” Lin Wan held the document bag containing the agreement and made her way toward the main hall door.
As she passed by Wei Nan, she leaned down and whispered in his ear, “These are S+ mental strength experts. They were all sent by my business partner, Miss Liao, to assist me.”
After uttering those words, Lin Wan paid no attention to Wei Nan’s shock and calmly walked out of the main hall. Carrying Wei Xin, who had been brought by the butler some time ago, she left the Wei family estate, ignoring Wei Nan’s furious gaze.
“Liao Ning, it’s Liao Ning again!” Wei Nan glared angrily in the direction Lin Wan had departed, gritting his teeth as he muttered Liao Ning’s name. His expression conveyed his desire to extract revenge and inflict harm on Liao Ning.
The two bodyguards restraining him exchanged glances. When Wei Nan wasn’t looking, one of them discreetly pinched his arm. “Behave yourself!”
Simultaneously, the other bodyguard discreetly inserted a nanomachine monitor into Wei Nan’s other arm.
Wei Nan felt an excruciating pain in one arm but remained oblivious to the fact that he had been implanted with a monitor in the other.
Accustomed to his elevated status over the years, no one had dared to handle him roughly. He immediately berated, “Who do you think you are? I am the head of the Wei family! How dare you treat me like this today? Go back and inform your boss that they should prepare for a lawsuit!”
The bodyguard gripping his arm sneered in disdain. “I didn’t expect you to be so principled. Since you’re well-versed in the law, why are you still breaking it?
How dare you supply substandard mental strength potions?”
‘Why waste our time on someone like him, blinded by wealth? Let’s leave once the mission is accomplished..”
