The sound of footsteps occasionally traveled in from outside. Zhang Liyun stared intently at the agreement before her, her pupils quivering, her heart pounding violently against her chest as her body’s warmth slowly faded.

“Yunxian, this…” Her voice trembled fiercely, “You’re not joking, are you?”

“You can take a look at the content. If you have any questions, you can discuss with the lawyer,” Tang Yunxian said with an unfluctuating tone.

Having lived together for so long, Zhang Liyun couldn’t see through him but still understood his temperament.

He seemed gentle and easy to talk to, but he was decisive in his actions. Once he made up his mind, there was almost no room for turning back.

“This is just too sudden.”

Zhang Liyun’s tongue tied, her mind bewildered, unable to organize her thoughts.

She had considered the possibility of conflict with Tang Yunxian when she went to the hospital, even prepared a response strategy for He An’s confession, but she never anticipated she would be met with a divorce agreement.

“Before I left on my business trip, we had already discussed this matter,” Tang Yunxian raised an eyebrow, “How is it sudden now?”

“During my time away from Pingjiang, you’ve caused enough trouble. Do you still need me to list everything you’ve done?”

“Considering the care you gave to my mother in the past, I’ve already given you ample time to prepare.”

Speaking of their acquaintance, one has to mention Tang Yunxian’s late mother. She was frail and a regular patient at the hospital, where Zhang Liyun happened to have her gravely ill father admitted – they met because they were on the same floor.

Aside from hospital visits, Tang Yunxian also had to take care of Tang Wan, inevitably neglecting his own needs. Zhang Liyun offered much help during those times.

At that time, she didn’t know about the Tang family’s financial situation. Her father was seriously ill, and with her family struggling to make ends meet, she didn’t have the time or means to inquire about the Tang family’s affairs.

Reliable and attentive in her services, she genuinely was a good person. To thank her, old Master Tang secretly covered her father’s medical bills. Without money to repay, she nearly knelt to him out of gratitude. Despite his refusal, she insisted on giving him an IOU.

Zhang Liyun was gentle and sensible back then; otherwise, the old master would not have agreed to her marriage.

Rumor had it that she divorced her ex-husband because of her father’s medical condition, a money pit. Fearing his family would be dragged down, he didn’t even want the child when they separated.

Having a child mattered little; the Tang family could easily support her. Moreover, remarrying someone without children – who wouldn’t want to be a mother? But unfortunately, future complications were also plentiful.

Her natal family was practically nonexistent. At that time, she was honest and just wanted a partner to share life with; nobody could have predicted it would turn out this way.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door from outside. Zhang Liyun nearly scrambled to clutch the divorce agreement in her hand, fearing someone might see it.

At the door was Jiang Cuo, “Mr. Tang, I apologize for the interruption. The specialist has arrived and is about to conduct a consultation for Old Master Tang.”

The specialist was summoned by Jiang Jinsang, originally scheduled to arrive in the afternoon but had come early.

Tang Yunxian nodded, “I’ll be right there.”

The door closed, and Zhang Liyun gripped the divorce agreement tightly, as if to crush it, her palm sweating.

“Take your time reviewing the agreement. If this one gets damaged, contact the lawyer at any time; he has plenty more,” Tang Yunxian said, readying to leave.

“Tang Yunxian… after all these years together, can you really be so heartless? Do you truly have no regard for our past?”

Zhang Liyun’s voice shook, her throat dry and burning.

“When we got together, we both had our agendas. You wanted some support, and all I wanted was to give Wanwan a complete family, hoping you would help take care of the household. Now that the foundation is gone, naturally, there’s no need to stay together.”

“Before you entered this household, you knew I had someone in my heart. We lived together with mutual respect, without love and affection. Are you saying…”

“You want to talk about feelings now?”

Tang Yunxian’s lips curled with a tinge of mockery.

“We’ve been married for so many years; there has to be some affections,” Zhang Liyun tentatively sought to salvage the situation.

“You want to discuss affections? Fine by me,” Tang Yunxian crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair, a sudden smile playing on his lips that sent a chill down Zhang Liyun’s back.

“Not to mention the distant past, take yesterday’s incident for example. What did you say in front of the reporters? Not denying or answering, allowing them to slander Wanwan?”

“I know what you’re thinking, you want to protect Tang Mo, but if you had any feelings, how could you bear pushing an innocent child into the fire?”

“And you dare talk to me about feelings? You’re hardly qualified!”

Tang Yunxian, no matter how cultured and refined his appearance, was still a businessman. During their exchange, his sharpness fully emerged.

“I didn’t say anything at the time, I had no idea the media would write as they did,” Zhang Liyun’s eyes reddened in her frenzy.

Tang Yunxian chuckled lightly, “Unable to answer you cannot withdraw? You know it’s the media, is running not an option?”

“That was inside the hospital, with just two or three reporters, there was no need for a direct confrontation.”

“We’re not fools. Do I really have to tear off your disguise and embarrass you?”

His voice, soft and slowly articulated, struck Zhang Liyun with the weight of his words, leaving her almost breathless.

“I held back until this morning before sending the lawyer’s letter, giving you enough time. What have you done?”

The assistant stood by, shaking his head with a helpless look. The master isn’t a fool. Playing clever and banking on luck at this time – what was she thinking?

Meanwhile, noisy disputes suddenly erupted outside, drawing Tang Yunxian’s attention midst the divorce talk, prompting him to frown.

The assistant opened the door to check, his breath catching before he hurriedly said, “Mr. Zhang has arrived.”

This surely referred to Zhang Liyun’s idle younger brother.

Zhang Liyun’s heart tensed, an ominous feeling setting in, proven right when the assistant continued, “I don’t know what he did, but he’s clashed with Master Wu’s men.”

Tang Yunxian abruptly stood up and made for the door, with Zhang Liyun quickly following, cursing inwardly:

What is this idiot doing here!
