Chapter 10: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 10: Divorce is Your Birthday Gift

Huo Xingjian took a deep breath upon hearing this.

He stared at her with a chilling look, making Shen Cheng feel uneasy under his intense gaze.

[Why is this man looking at me like that? It’s giving me the creeps. I’m the one who proposed the divorce, giving him room for his white moonlight. Why does he still look so angry?]

[Money’s good, but I need to be alive to enjoy it. This plot’s already deviated from the original one. Better to leave quickly before things get worse. Let’s get divorced and stay away from the disaster.]

[As for the rest of the Huo family... well, their opinion doesn’t matter to me! They don’t even like me anyway.]

"When we got married, I didn’t have much of a dowry. So, when we divorce, I won’t take more money than I deserve," Shen Cheng cleared her throat, her voice slightly guilty.

"Yeah, the villa we’re living in now, then the two villas by the lake in Wanhuayue, and the two big apartments in Zijing Garden will be fine."

"As for cash, I don’t want much. Just one billion, as payment for the three years I spent wholeheartedly taking care of you."

"Of course, if you’re willing to give me more, I won’t refuse. After all, I’ve done my best for the other people in your family too."

"And the cars...," she paused, thinking seriously, "just this Phantom, the Bugatti in the garage, and my regular Porsche Cayenne would be enough."

"I think for President Huo, this is nothing. I know my limits, I won’t ask for more."

[It's all Li An An’s fault! She’s completely useless! Why didn’t she manage to sleep with him successfully?]

[If she had, I would’ve asked for at least ten times more!]

[Get away from the scumbag. Eat well, sleep well. Sell the villas, the apartments, the cars, and move somewhere far away from Huo Xingjian. Find ten or eight handsome young guys. Isn’t that better than being tortured by this scumbag?]

Huo Xingjian: "!!!"

So you think it’s that easy? You want to take my money and then raise a bunch of little dogs? Not just one, but ten or eight!?

Shen Cheng! You really have the guts to calculate my money like this!

"Is this your birthday gift to me?" Huo Xingjian’s voice was cold, his eyes icy.

At this moment, he resembled the King of Hell emerging from the underworld, making anyone shiver.

"If it makes you happy," Shen Cheng flashed an innocent smile.

[Isn’t getting a divorce and becoming single the best birthday gift for you?]

[Now that Li Qingxue is awake, once you’re single again, you can pursue her without worries.]

[Wishing you and the male and female leads to be locked in forever!]

"Hmph!" Huo Xingjian let out a cold laugh, "Should I thank you for this?"

"No need, no need!" Shen Cheng smiled brightly, "This is perfect timing. Anyway, the Civil Affairs Bureau hasn’t closed yet. If we hurry, we can still get the divorce certificate before they close. Let’s go, drive!"

Huo Xingjian took a deep breath, exerting a great deal of effort to suppress the anger in his chest.

He didn’t respond to her, starting the car again and continuing toward Qinxin Garden.

"Hey, weren’t we supposed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau?" Shen Cheng looked at him with confusion.

Huo Xingjian didn’t answer, simply locking the car door.

He was so angry now, he could almost strangle Shen Cheng.

But the words "stabbed into a hornet's nest" kept echoing in his mind.

So, Shen Cheng died such a miserable death? Who stabbed her?

Naturally, he couldn't get a divorce now. He had to get to the bottom of this matter.

The car pulled into the villa and stopped.

Huo Xingjian got out of the car.

Shen Cheng shot him a furious glare.

[What the hell is this man losing his mind about?! Not getting a divorce, huh? Fine, I'll drag you down with me! Let's see who’s more desperate in the end, you or me!]

[Anyway, now that Li Qingxue is awake, she’ll be calling you every few days. She’ll be asking for a position both openly and covertly!]

[Then when you beg me to divorce you, it won’t be as easy as what you're saying today!]

[Li Qingxue is much more cunning than Li An’an. If she makes a move, I’ll see how you escape!]

[Fine, I’ll just wait for this scumbag to cheat! Then I’ll hold the smoking gun, and like Grandpa said, I’ll make sure you leave with nothing!]

She slammed the car door shut with a loud "bang" and stomped up the stairs, walking with such force that it seemed like she was grinding the steps under her feet, as if she wanted to crush Huo Xingjian underfoot.

As soon as she entered the house, she bumped into Huo Yushu, who was holding a glass of juice.

"Shen Cheng, you..." 

"Get out of the way!" Shen Cheng directly interrupted her, shooting a cold glare at her, and proceeded to walk toward the stairs without a second glance.

"Brother, look at her..."

[Huo Yushu is just as stupid as that scumbag Huo Xingjian! She was once the beloved pearl in everyone's hands, but ended up meeting the wrong person.]

[In the end, she not only contracted AIDS, but also became addicted to drugs. When she died, she was just a skeleton, barely even human!]

Huo Yushu: "…!!"

"Shen Cheng…"

"Yushu!" Huo Xingjian cut her off.

Shen Cheng ignored the two of them, entered her room, and slammed the door shut with a loud "bang."

"Brother, brother, she… she cursed me!" Huo Yushu looked at Huo Xingjian with a terrified expression.

Due to Shen Cheng's earlier words, Huo Yushu's face turned pale, and her hand holding the juice trembled uncontrollably.

Huo Xingjian took a deep breath and ruffled her hair. "She didn’t curse you. What you heard was her inner thoughts."

"Ah?!" Huo Yushu stared at him in shock, unable to believe it.

Well… it did seem like Shen Cheng didn’t actually speak out loud just now.

"Brother, I... I... How could I hear her thoughts?" Huo Yushu was confused and at a loss. "Brother, what’s happening?"

Huo Xingjian closed his eyes briefly.

This was something he couldn't understand either.

Before today, he had never been able to hear Shen Cheng’s inner thoughts.

But this morning, out of nowhere, he suddenly could.

And she had also suddenly changed, as if she were a different person. She no longer clung to him, was no longer considerate, and didn’t try to please him.

The way she looked at him was full of disdain and aversion, and her mind was full of complaints about him.

Everything had been fine up until yesterday. No, everything had been fine even early this morning.

Even if he had been harsh with her, she still went along with it, and even seemed to enjoy it.

So, what had changed... from when she left the bathroom?

Huo Xingjian couldn’t figure it out.

"Brother, then... what should I do? I don’t want this! I don’t want to get AIDS or a drug addiction!" Huo Yushu instinctively refused to believe it.

"Where’s Mom?" Huo Xingjian scanned the room and asked in a low voice.
