Chapter 24: Chapter 24

Splurt! Shen Qingyue burst into laughter. “Chi Ming, can you be a bit normal?”

Chi Ming’s tone was light. “Why am I not normal? You’re divorced, and I’m single. We know each other, and being with me won’t put you at a disadvantage.”

Shen Qingyue glanced at him. Truth be told, Chi Ming was excellent in many aspects. However, she did not have any feelings for Qin Zhen. She could not say she liked him, nor did she dislike him. Should she give it a try? After all, when she got married, Chi Ming… finally came back, and she got divorced.

She pondered for a moment and suddenly said, “Do you know why Qin Zhen chose to divorce me today? It’s because I just injured Wei Jiu’er.”

Chi Ming understood what Shen Qingyue meant and didn’t insist. Let things progress step by step. But upon hearing her words, he frowned. “You injured her? That’s impossible.”

Shen Qingyue looked at him. “You believe me that much?”

Chi Ming replied, “Do you think I’m as foolish as Qin Zhen?”

Shen Qingyue chuckled. It turned out that she wasn’t the only one who thought Qin Zhen was foolish. In fact, calling Qin Zhen foolish seemed unlikely. He was a capable and shrewd CEO of a conglomerate. However, when it came to Wei Jiu’er, he would not listen to anyone. She regretted saving him at all costs five years ago. It would have been better if he had died back then. It was truly a disaster.

However, the thought of Qin Zhen’s distorted face at the Civil Affairs Bureau made her happy. After quickly collecting her thoughts, Shen Qingyue opened the car door and got out. “I have free time on Saturday.”

Chi Ming’s eyes lit up. “Are you asking me out?”

Shen Qingyue smirked. “I’ll sign a contract to sell myself to you!”

Chi Ming replied, “Sure, but it should be a long-term contract.”

Before leaving work, Shen Qingyue received a call from Shen Jun, asking her to go back with him. He mentioned that their grandfather had organized a family dinner. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shen Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief but furrowed her brow. “Does our grandfather often contact you?”

Shen Xiang was Shen Jun’s younger brother and also Shen Yiyin’s grandfather. When he was young, he was a lazy and idle playboy. He used to rely on Shen Jun for support, and now he relied on Shen Da, Shen Yiyan’s father, to support him.

In the previous life, Shen Xiang was deceived out of several billion yuan and ended up in debt. Shen Da, reluctant to use his own money, urged Shen Xiang to borrow from Shen Jun.

Shen Jun was Shen Xiang’s only brother, so he naturally agreed. However, the money was not repaid even after Shen Jun’s death. It would not have been a big deal if there was no money, but Shen Xiang deliberately sucked his blood. Especially after Shen Jun’s death, when he made a mess of the Shen family’s conglomerate because he couldn’t get his hands on the remaining funds, he started taunting and ridiculing Shen Jun, saying that he deserved to die because Shen Jun had supported him…

Thinking about this, Shen Qingyue took a deep breath. She remembered that today was the day Shen Xiang borrowed money from her grandfather!

When they arrived at Shen Xiang’s house, the whole family was sitting in the living room. Shen Xiang immediately stood up upon seeing them.

“Brother, you’re here.” He greeted Shen Jun and turned to Shen Qingyue. “Qingyue, it’s been a few months. You’re getting more beautiful.”

“Uncle, you’re joking. This is a gift I brought for you.” Shen Qingyue handed the gift to Shen Xiang and exchanged a few pleasantries before sitting next to Shen Jun.

Shen Qingxue also looked at Shen Qingyue and said, “Sister, why didn’t your husband come with you? Did he already find out about your relationship with the gigolo?”

Her eyes were full of gloating when she asked the question.

Shen Qingyue frowned slightly. “What?”

“You don’t know yet?” Shen Qingxue’s tone became even more gloating. She posted a piece of news in the family group chat: [The two main characters from the wedding of the century a year ago are getting divorced.]

This news was highly manipulative. The content about Shen Qingyue and Qin Zhen’s divorce was just a short sentence, while the remaining thousands of words were all attacking Shen Qingyue. It claimed that she had been secretly going to bars behind Qin Zhen’s back, engaging in ambiguous behavior with other men… and even on the day of their divorce, she openly displayed intimacy with another man in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The article was accompanied by several pictures. The man at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau was not captured in the photos, but it was enough to draw attention.

The top liked comments in the comment section were clearly orchestrated, saying that they had personally witnessed Shen Qingyue with a stranger in shady places, booking hotel rooms…

A small portion of netizens remained neutral, waiting for the outcome. Some brainless individuals directly resorted to verbal abuse.

Shen Jun, enraged after reading the news, nearly threw his phone.

“Nonsense!” He was about to call someone to remove the news.

However, before his people could take action, the online news was already taken down by someone.
