Ch 13: Old Master Wen’s Fury
“Although I don’t remember what happened in the past three years, I can confirm one thing: you are absolutely not the man I want to marry!” Wen Chuhan said coldly.
Wen Chuhan’s words were like a knife, stabbing deeply into Zhang Buran’s heart.
“I only ever loved Brother Gu Yun, and you… Humph, although I really don’t want to belittle poor people, but you, Zhang Buran, are just waste.”
This knife continued to twist and torment Zhang Buran’s broken heart…
“Where were you when I was injured?”
“Where were you when I was hospitalized?”
“I only know that the first person I saw when I woke up was Brother Gu Yun.”
Saying this, Wen Chuhan happily exchanged a glance with Gu Yun.
Zhang Buran was also extremely disappointed.
All his efforts were belittled by Wen Chuhan.
That “Brother Gu Yun” was so jarring…
If Zhang Buran hadn’t discovered Wen Chuhan’s car accident in time, she might have already become a ghost.
Enough said.
Indeed, in this world, nothing is more hurtful than matters of the heart.
Matters of the heart are a major taboo in cultivation!
“Let’s get a divorce.”
As he said this, Zhang Buran felt a sense of relief wash over him.
A decision already made, why say more?
Watching Wen Chuhan and Gu Yun exchange loving glances, Zhang Buran felt a sense of release.
Three years, three years of emotion, how easy is it to let go?
Zhang Buran had already planned to leave.
His obsession with Wen Chuhan, his last lingering attachment, dissipated at this moment.
Forgetting about myself is the best.
It’s best to forget completely.
From then on, Zhang Buran had no more attachments and devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.
Three years ago, when Zhang Buran married into the Wen Family, he knew that the person Wen Chuhan loved was her childhood sweetheart, her White Moonlight, Gu Yun.
But Gu Yun went abroad.
Zhang Buran held onto a ridiculous sliver of hope, hoping to win Wen Chuhan’s heart.
In the end, the fool was himself.
The Wen Family didn’t expect Zhang Buran to agree so decisively.
Wen Chuhan was somewhat suspicious: “I heard you were very persistent and clingy towards me. Aren’t you going to play some tricks again?”
“I’m not that pathetic.” Zhang Buran looked at Wen Chuhan again, his eyes filled with sharpness.
This unfamiliar gaze caused Wen Chuhan to shiver involuntarily…
“Zhang Buran, you’ll be packing your bags and getting out of our Wen Family soon. Don’t keep pining after my sister!”
Wen Churou also thought Zhang Buran would cling to Wen Chuhan for a long time.
She even imagined Zhang Buran begging Wen Chuhan not to divorce him.
She didn’t expect Zhang Buran to agree so decisively.
“Zhang Buran, you said it yourself, don’t regret it!”
Ouyang Hong laughed unrestrainedly, pulling out a pre-printed Divorce Agreement from somewhere and holding it up to Zhang Buran.
“Quickly divorce my daughter and sign this Divorce Agreement! And you must leave with nothing; you can’t take a single cent from our Wen Family!”
Ouyang Hong’s bossy attitude made Zhang Buran very unhappy.
However, he probably wouldn’t see this bizarre Mother-in-Law again.
Thinking of this, Zhang Buran swiftly signed his name on the Divorce Agreement without even glancing at it.
“After you’re discharged from the hospital, we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to finalize the divorce.”
Zhang Buran took one last look at the woman he had loved for three years and turned to leave.
Wen Chuhan in the hospital bed, however, felt a sudden pang in her heart.
No way…this feeling, is it heartache?
Why would I have heartache?
Why would I have heartache?
I clearly divorced the waste my mom and sister talked about.
That waste was not good to me at all.
I should be happy to divorce Zhang Buran, why would I have heartache?
Wen Chuhan attributed this feeling of palpitations to pity for Zhang Buran.
Tsk tsk tsk, poor thing.
Trying to climb into a wealthy family, only to be kicked out…
Of all the Wen Family members, only Wen Tianqing remained silent with a gloomy expression.
Was divorcing Zhang Buran a good thing or a bad thing?
Initially, Old Master Wen strongly urged Zhang Buran to marry into the Wen Family.
At the time, Wen Tianqing was also very puzzled as to why he placed so much importance on Zhang Buran, an ordinary person.
Old Master Wen’s reply was that Zhang Buran’s status was not ordinary.
But Old Master Wen ultimately did not tell Wen Tianqing Zhang Buran’s true identity.
However, after the marriage, Wen Tianqing also questioned the reliability of his father’s information.
Because Zhang Buran, no matter how you looked at him, was an idle, incapable son-in-law.
And now that Zhang Buran and his daughter Wen Chuhan had divorced, Wen Tianqing felt a vague sense of unease.
But he couldn’t pinpoint what it was…
His daughter, the Wen Family’s next Person in Charge, divorcing a waste, what could be a big deal?
However, he should still inform his father, Old Master Wen…
…
Wen Family Villa.
“Damn it!”
“Wen Chuhan’s recklessness is one thing, but as the Person in Charge of the Wen Family, you didn’t stop her!”
“Didn’t I repeatedly warn you that Zhang Buran’s identity is special? Our Wen Family will face a great calamity in the next few years, and we need Zhang Buran’s protection to get through it!”
Old Master Wen Chengxin’s cane pounded heavily on the ground, making a loud bang, his anger causing him to tremble.
Wen Tianqing, scolded before him, was very puzzled.
“Father, I don’t understand. In the past three years, Zhang Buran hasn’t done anything for our Wen Family. He’s just a son-in-law. Why do you value him so much? Father…can’t you tell me the reason behind this?”
“Tell you? What’s the point of telling you? Can you help the Wen Family get through this? Go quickly and bring him back. Don’t allow the divorce. As long as I still have a say in the Wen Family, I won’t agree to the divorce!”
Wen Chengxin, with his graying hair and beard, though over seventy years old, was still very strong and had a loud voice.
“Dad, do you really treat me as your own son?” Wen Tianqing bit his lip and said resentfully.
“Nonsense, you’re my only son!”
Wen Chengxin didn’t expect Wen Tianqing to ask that, and glared at him.
“Then why won’t you hand over the true power of the Family to me? You keep so many things hidden from me? Dad, you’re already 72, and I’m in my forties. I’m not a child anymore!”
“Dad, I just want to know the truth. I’m not the naive fool I used to be! I don’t want to be kept in the dark. I want to share some of the burden with you. This feeling of being treated like a fool is really unbearable…”
Towards the end, Wen Tianqing’s voice trembled slightly.
Wen Chengxin, with his brows furrowed, showed a trace of emotion.
Wen Tianqing continued, “Dad, do you know how the other major families in Magic City talk about me behind my back? They say I’m a powerless Family Head, that I’m just a puppet controlled by you…”
“Dad, even if you can’t hand over the true power of the Wen Family to me, please tell me what you know!”
Wen Tianqing’s words were heartfelt, even with a hint of a sob.
Wen Tianqing seemed to be pouring out his grievances.
Wen Chengxin, who had been furious just moments ago, fell silent.
Wen Chengxin also knew that over the years, he had kept things from Wen Tianqing, not giving him real power in the Wen Family, causing him to endure countless rumors.
Wen Tianqing had endured for so many years out of respect for Wen Chengxin.
Finally, Wen Chengxin sighed, opened his eyes, looking as if he had aged ten years, and spoke in a low voice:
“Tianqing, it’s time you knew what I’ve been hiding from you all these years.”
Wen Tianqing quickly perked up his ears.
Father, he’s finally going to tell me something he’s kept secret!
