Chapter 220 To add fuel to the fire

The onlookers pointed and whispered among themselves, hurling all sorts of vulgarities at them.

It's late at night, a time when people should be turning off the lights and resting, but this spectacle has been broadcast live, making it inevitable to comment on their depraved lifestyle.

The fault lay with Zhong Lanhua and her daughter, and people generally sympathized with Xiao Yanci. Of course, some people felt that Xiao Yanci couldn't even support his own woman and was using gifts from her mistress, which was a disgrace to men and especially to scholars.

Those voices criticizing Xiao Yanci for being useless pierced his heart like knives, leaving him bleeding profusely.

Xiao Yanci glared fiercely at Jiang Yihuan, his eyes devoid of any affection, filled only with disgust and hatred.

"Fine, very well." Xiao Yanci sneered, "Jiang Yihuan, from this day forward, our friendship is over."

With that, Xiao Yanci strode into the room.

Jiang Yihuan's eyes were filled with resentment.

If she hadn't been caught in the act, she would have continued to deal with Xiao Yanci, waiting to see if he could pass the imperial examination.

She spotted Su Yaoguang in the crowd, and her resentment intensified when she saw Su Yaoguang behaving intimately with Zhou Wangshu.

Why does Su Yaoguang have everything she wants, while she herself always seems to have everything go wrong? Why is it that every time she tries to get back at Su Yaoguang, she ends up being the one who suffers the most?
Forget it. Even if Xiao Yanci passed the imperial examinations, he would still be a poor scholar, and following him might not guarantee a good life. Other men may not be as handsome as him, but they are all wealthy. She and her mother only managed to pay off their debts by relying on those men. If they relied on Xiao Yanci, they probably would never have such a life.

It's fine if things fall apart; she can find someone new and won't have to suffer with Xiao Yanci anymore.

Xiao Yanci came out with the letter of divorce and threw it in Jiang Yihuan's face: "Get out of my house."

Jiang Yihuan picked up the letter of divorce, looked at the words on it, and said with dissatisfaction, "I want a divorce agreement."

"You cheated on me with another man, and now you want a divorce?" Xiao Yanci sneered. "Get lost!"

"If you don't give me the divorce papers today, I'll expose all the disgusting things you've done." Now that things have come to a head, Jiang Yihuan isn't going to pretend anymore. "You called out another woman's name in the middle of the night; do I need to reveal who that woman is in front of everyone?"

Jiang Yihuan looked at Su Yaoguang as she said these words.

Su Yaoguang was stunned for a moment, looked around, and realized that Jiang Yihuan was looking at her. She was disgusted.

A ruthless glint flashed in Zhou Wangshu's eyes.

Such a despicable person still dares to covet the radiance of the bright moon.

"Okay, I'll write it."

Feeling threatened and uneasy, Xiao Yanci rewrote a divorce agreement.

The onlookers, listening to this gossip, looked at Xiao Yanci with even stranger expressions.

"No wonder his woman cheated on him; it turns out he was also eyeing other women. This family really knows how to have fun."

"That's right, a whole family of messy things, they're all birds of a feather."

Zhou Wangshu said to Su Yaoguang, "Let's go back."

"it is good."

Zhou Wangshu pulled Su Yaoguang away.

Xiao Yanci looked at their intertwined hands, his eyes filled with resentment.

If everything could go back to the past, back to the beginning, without Zhou Wangshu, without Jiang Yihuan, how wonderful that would be.

Only now did he realize who the truly kind person was to him. If God gave him a chance to make amends, he would cherish that person who had been so good to him. Zhong Lanhua came out carrying several large bundles.

"Huan'er, let's go."

They just moved here, and haven't had time to unpack their belongings yet. Now they've saved time packing and can just carry them away.

The onlookers dispersed, Zhong Lanhua and her daughter left, leaving Xiao Yanci all alone in the courtyard.

Xiao Yanci did not close the courtyard gate.

He pulled out a jar of wine and sat down in the courtyard to drink it in silence.

How did he turn his life into this?
Xiao Yanci was quite tipsy when he noticed a pair of embroidered shoes in front of him. His gaze moved upwards along the shoes and landed on a beautiful face.

"Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Yanci wrapped his arms around her slender waist and, slurring his words, drunkenly said, "Yaoguang, you've come."

A look of surprise flashed in Wen's eyes.

Yao Guang? The owner of Taoyaofang?
These men are really something else; they're always eyeing other men's women. Do they think other men's women are more appealing?

"Woooooooo..."

Early in the morning, the sound of weeping came from the Xiao residence.

The gate to the Xiao residence was not closed.

Passersby, hearing the crying and seeing the courtyard gate ajar, curiously peeked inside. When they saw the courtyard littered with shards of clothing, with Wen Shi wrapped in a man's coat, hugging her knees and weeping, and Xiao Yanci lying beside her, fast asleep like a log, their pent-up gossip fervor reignited.

Peach Blossom Pavilion. Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu went to see the festivities yesterday, and she was so excited on the way back that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time, which is why she woke up a little late today.

As soon as she came out, Jiang Jing handed her the fried dough sticks and soy milk she had just bought, and then started telling her the latest gossip from that morning.

"The Xiao family's door wasn't even closed. Everyone saw it. That Xiao guy forced Wen, who had come to visit him, into the courtyard. Now he has no choice but to take responsibility."

Su Yaoguang, holding a bowl full of soy milk, stared at Jiang Jing in astonishment. Her hand tilted slightly, and the soy milk in the bowl almost spilled out.

Zhou Wangshu took her bowl, placed it on the table, and said, "Is there any need to be so surprised? That Wen woman has been renting a house with them and has never left the Xiao family. It was only a matter of time. But the Xiao family should be quite pleased with this unexpected turn of events. Without Jiang Yihuan, he would have to find a woman to serve him, and here she is, delivered right to his doorstep."

“I hope I never see them again, and it would be best if they stayed far away from us,” Su Yaoguang said. “They’re disgusting.”

“Well… it’s not impossible,” Zhou Wangshu murmured.

"Wang Shu, business has been so good lately, I've landed several big orders, so I won't go with you to see the provincial examination results."

Zhou Wangshu paused for a moment, then hummed in agreement, neither saying yes nor no.

Cui Rong walked in from outside.

Zhou Wangshu was snatching the fried dough stick from Su Yaoguang's hand, and the two were fighting over it. When Cui Rong entered, Su Yaoguang paused for a moment, and half of the fried dough stick disappeared.

"Zhou Wangshu, Jing'er bought so much, don't you know what else to eat?"

“This one you have is even better.” Zhou Wangshu said, biting into a fried dough stick, as Cui Rong sat down next to them. “Has Young Master Cui had breakfast yet? Would you like to try some?”

"No need, I've already eaten." After Cui Rong finished speaking, he said to Su Yaoguang, "Several family friends came today, all of them big bosses from various industries. I'll introduce you to them; maybe we can negotiate a few more big deals."

“Okay!” Su Yaoguang stood up. “Let’s go now.”
