Chapter 182 - Early Divorce (I)
“Has that woman returned again? Is she staying in your villa?” Elder Ye’s harsh tone blasted through the phone.
Chu Wuyou who was right next to Ye Lanchen could hear Elder Ye’s roar.
She immediately regained her consciousness upon hearing the ear-splitting reproach.
Ye Lanchen’s face darkened visibly.
“Have you lost your mind? How could you allow her to stay in your villa? Don’t you worry that your wife will learn about it? Although your wife is not too bright, she might figure it out eventually. Chase that woman out of your villa right this instant.”
A spark flashed across Chu Wuyou’s eyes. She was still in a daze even though she was slightly more alert now. However, she suddenly thought Elder Ye was rather ridiculous. No matter how stupid she was, surely she was capable of detecting the unusual relationship between Ye Lanchen and Meng Ruoting.
Had Elder Ye thought she was a complete fool?
Coincidentally, Meng Ruoting was walking past them simultaneously. She heard the old man bellowing into the phone thus she shouted back intentionally, “I’m not leaving. What can you do about that, huh?”
Meng Ruoting was resentful of Elder Ye hence she did not care about the latter’s feelings.
“You… You…” Elder Ye who was already in rage became exasperated at Meng Ruoting’s provocation. “Ye Lanchen, let me tell you this, I’ll transfer Ye Company to Lanzhang’s name right this second if you refuse to chase that woman out of your house. You’ll not receive even a single cent.”
Chu Wuyou who was not aware of Meng Ruoting’s presence jumped in surprise at the latter’s roar. After recollecting her composure, Chu Wuyou quickly tried to struggle free of Ye Lanchen’s embrace.
However, Ye Lanchen suddenly announced into the phone. “You can give it to anyone you wish.”
This caught Chu Wuyou by surprise. Elder Ye could give it to anyone he wished? Did this mean that Ye Lanchen was no longer interested in the stock ownership of Ye Company?
Meng Ruoting, on the other hand, was in utter shock and she darted her eyes to Ye Lanchen. She knew her Elder Brother was not too bothered about acquiring the stock ownership of Ye Company. The reason he did not give in all these years was because Ye Company was co-founded by their mother. Her Elder Brother did not want to see the company falling into the hands of the other woman and her son.
No one expected these words would escape from her Elder Brother’s mouth.
Meng Ruoting shifted her attention toward Chu Wuyou. The man that she knew was never this impulsive.
“Well, well. Don’t regret your decision.” On the other hand, Elder Ye finally recollected his thoughts. He sounded more furious than shocked.
Ye Lanchen hung up the call without commenting further. With his actions, he made it really clear that he had given up on Ye Company.
“Are you really giving up on Ye Company? Do you really want that woman and her son to benefit from this?” Meng Ruoting, too, was not bothered about the inheritance. However, she was reluctant for the other party to yield the advantages.
Ye Lanchen declined to answer, yet a hint of despair filled his cold eyes.
Chu Wuyou darted her eyes from Meng Ruoting to Ye Lanchen. She pondered for a brief moment before questioning, “Does it mean that we can file for a divorce now? Since you’ve given up on the stock ownership of Ye Company?”
Under Elder Ye’s constant pressure, Ye Lanchen had married her to acquire the Ye Company. Given the current circumstances, there was no reason to continue their contract marriage and they could naturally have an early divorce.
“What did you say?” Upon hearing her words, Ye Lanchen’s penetrating gaze prowled over her face.
