Yan Xi had never realized before how much of a jerk Fu Yan Ting was.
This was clearly Fu Yan Ting's doing, yet he was acting as if nothing had happened, trying to brush it off with her.
"Fu Yan Ting, we're already divorced. Can you please show some restraint and stop interfering in my affairs from now on?"
Yan Xi tried her best to remain calm, but facing Fu Yan Ting's attitude made it impossible.
Hearing Yan Xi's words, Fu Yan Ting wanted to laugh, and he did so unreservedly, a snort escaping him.
Yan Xi didn't know what Fu Yan Ting was laughing about, her brows furrowed deeply.
Divorce, Fu Yan Ting seemed very pleased about it.
It seemed he was also eager to divorce and be together with Xia Shi Yu.
For some reason, the thought of Fu Yan Ting being with Xia Shi Yu made Yan Xi feel uneasy.
"Yan Xi, I'll ask you one more time, do you really want a divorce?"
Hearing Fu Yan Ting's question, Yan Xi stubbornly replied, "Yes, I want a divorce..."
Yan Xi stopped mid-sentence, then quickly corrected herself, "No, we are already divorced. I've already signed."
"You want a divorce? Then you'll have to come back and sign again."
Why should Fu Yan Ting get to dictate everything?
Yan Xi felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She wouldn't go back, she wouldn't sign.
She wanted to see what other tricks Fu Yan Ting could pull.
Yan Xi hung up the phone angrily. It didn't matter if she couldn't get into a formal career; she could take on part-time jobs. As long as she had her hands and feet, she wouldn't starve.
Looking at the hung-up phone, Fu Yan Ting, who was already not in a good mood, felt even worse.
Upon returning to the private room, Tang Jin noticed Fu Yan Ting's unhappy expression and asked with concern, "Did Yan Xi make you angry again?"
Han Zhen glanced at Tang Jin coldly and said irritably, "Xiao San, can you be more confident and remove the 'did'?"
Tang Jin was bewildered.
Could his brothers stop calling him by that nickname from now on?
Back when they were ranked, he was third. He had been telling himself that with an elder brother and second brother to support him, and younger brothers fourth and fifth for him to bully, being third was quite good.
But ever since the term "Xiao San" became prevalent, Tang Jin no longer thought his ranking was good.
Especially when these scoundrels deliberately called him Xiao San every time.
It strongly gave him the feeling of being kept.
"I think Yan Ting is in trouble this time. What kind of charm does this Yan Xi have to make Yan Ting so infatuated?"
Fu Yan Ting sat in the corner, hearing their conversation.
Suddenly, Fu Yan Ting looked at Tang Jin and asked, "How do you chase girls?"
Tang Jin was taken aback. Was it possible that such a simple question needed to be asked?
However, Tang Jin kindly offered some advice to Fu Yan Ting.
"To chase a girl, you first need to cater to her preferences. Whatever she likes, just buy it for her. Look at me, my last girlfriend was won over with a Ferrari. My girlfriend before that was neatly secured with a villa. My girlfriend before her wasn't very materialistic and liked romance, so I bought a yacht and proposed to her on it. But I forgot to buy one thing, which made me frustrated all night."
Tang Jin had started by offering advice to Fu Yan Ting, but as he spoke about the yacht incident, he himself felt aggrieved.
When had his brother ever been so wronged?
Han Zhen, who was beside them, leaned forward and looked at Tang Jin, saying, "Xiao San, next time, don't be so rigid with genders. I'd like to have a relationship with you too."
"Get lost."
"Alright."
Fu Yan Ting fell into contemplation.
He had been with Yan Xi for such a long time, yet he had never given her a car, a house, or even jewelry. The jewelry and clothes in the villa were all sent by his grandmother.
So, Yan Xi despised him, and that's why she wanted a divorce?
"Yan Ting, don't listen to Tang Jin's nonsense. He's a notorious playboy, and all the women he's been with were only after his money; they didn't truly love him."
"It's fine. I have money. I'm just afraid Yan Xi doesn't even want my money."
Han Zhen was speechless.
Why had he come out to drink with them? To talk about women?
After chatting with Tang Jin, Fu Yan Ting's mood brightened considerably, and he knew how to pursue Yan Xi. He got up and left.
He went to Yan Xi's rented apartment, intending to find her. However, the landlady told Fu Yan Ting that Yan Xi had already left with her brother.
She had even terminated her lease.
This time, the landlady didn't stop Fu Yan Ting and let him search the apartment. Fu Yan Ting looked around the empty rooms, finding nothing.
Only then did he believe that Yan Xi had truly left him.
Yan Xi had planned to settle Yan Yi first before looking for Yan Xiao, but fate had other plans. While shopping for clothes for Yan Yi, Yan Xi encountered Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao now had bodyguards accompanying her, looking quite pleased with herself.
Upon seeing Yan Xi, Yan Xiao sneered and walked up to her, speaking with mock sarcasm, "Do you know what brand this dress is? You're touching it without the means to buy it. What if you get it dirty?"
The sales assistant had been enthusiastically recommending new arrivals to Yan Xi. Hearing Yan Xiao's words, she quickly stepped forward and said to Yan Xi, "Miss, all these clothes have been bought."
How could Yan Xi not know that these people were deliberately doing this?
She sneered, took out her bank card, and handed it to the sales assistant, saying calmly, "Now, can you pack these clothes for me?"
Seeing the bank card Yan Xi produced, the sales assistant cheerfully said, "Of course. This way, please."
Although Yan Xi had gained a point against Yan Xiao, that bank card had been given to her by Mu Qing Xiang.
After Yan Xi married Fu Yan Ting, Mu Qing Xiang had given Yan Xi a bank card. Yan Xi didn't know how much money was in it, and she had never used it. Today, if Yan Xiao hadn't provoked her, Yan Xi probably wouldn't have taken out the card.
After Yan Xi bought the clothes, she walked past Yan Xiao and said with a cold smile, "Yan Jiaping once told me that you are his biological daughter, and he even did a paternity test. So, it's not certain how long you can remain the noble Miss Yao. Therefore, don't look down on people. Always leave some room for future encounters."
"Yan Xi, you b****, what do you mean by that? Who are you calling a dog?"
Yan Xiao was furious. She hadn't expected Yan Xi to still be so sharp-tongued after all this time.
Moreover, she knew very well how she had become Miss Yao.
Now that Yan Xi was in the capital, to avoid any further complications, she had to make sure Yan Xi was dead.
Thinking of this, Yan Xiao clenched her fists tightly, a ruthless glint flashing in her eyes.
