Chapter 855: I Must Divorce You Today

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Lengan slowly withdrew her gaze and glanced at the unconscious Zhong Yating on the ground before calmly stating, Shes not pretending. She really fainted.

As a physician, her expertise far surpa.s.sed that of ordinary doctors in the mortal world. With just one look, she could discern that Zhong Yating had truly fainted, not feigned it.

Huangfu Ruiling furrowed his brows, lost in thought.

Shouldnt we help her up and take her back to her room? Nangong Xiyu couldnt resist speaking up. Regardless, we cant leave her lying here!

Even though she looked down on Zhong Yating after learning about her actions and felt that divorcing her would be letting her off too easily, since they hadnt divorced yet, and Zhong Yating had been forced to faint, it was only proper, both morally and logically, to send her back to her room and have a doctor examine her! Otherwise, it wouldnt be ideal if something were to happen later on.

She brought this upon herself. Zhongyu Liuying had no sympathy. After daring to do such things, her mental resilience couldnt be so weak! Fainting now, under these circ.u.mstances, is definitely an act.

She paid no heed to Ye Lengans words, deeming both Ye Lengan and Zhong Yating as malicious women. She suspected Ye Lengans remarks were merely to aid Zhong Yating. Therefore, she remained unconvinced.

But didnt Lengan say just now? Nangong Xiyu hesitated. She said Zhong Yating wasnt pretending.

Without looking at Ye Lengan, Zhongyu Liuying responded with a skeptical tone, Shes not a doctor. How can you be sure shes not talking nonsense? Zhong Yating chose to faint precisely at this moment. Can you believe theres no trickery involved?

After Zhongyu Liuyings retort, Nangong Xiyu fell silent.

Although she might have debated with Zhongyu Liuying on other matters, she refrained from intervening in todays affair. After all, it concerned their familys matters. Their presence here as the second branch was only because this issue had been publicly exposed, requiring their elders involvement.

She foresaw that if Li Yiran hadnt exposed the matter in front of everyone today, even if Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying had learned of it, they wouldve handled it privately. They wouldve only learned of the outcome Huangfu Ruixiang divorcing Zhong Yating.

Unperturbed by Zhongyu Liuyings remarks, Ye Lengan showed no signs of anger. She didnt even glance in Zhongyu Liuyings direction, as if the words werent directed at her.

Nangong Xiyu remained silent, and Ye Lengans words only strengthened Zhongyu Liuyings resolve. She glanced at Li Yiran before issuing a directive, Yiran, pour that gla.s.s of water on her. I dont believe she can continue feigning unconsciousness.

Initially vexed by her earlier interruption, Li Yirans eyes sparkled upon receiving Zhongyu Liuyings command. However, her face betrayed reluctance and indecision. It was unclear whether she should comply and pour water on Zhong Yating.

Only G.o.d knew that her greatest desire at that moment was to slap Zhong Yating. Yet, pouring water instead was also gratifying. However, if she immediately followed Zhongyu Liuyings orders, wouldnt she appear excessively malicious in the eyes of others? Thus, she opted to wait.

Why havent you acted yet? Zhongyu Liuyings impatience seeped into her tone. Cant I even command you?

No, Mom. Ill do it right away.

Li Yiran resembled a submissive daughter-in-law reluctantly obeying. Yet, inwardly, she rejoiced.

She believed she could finally retaliate against Zhong Yating for all the indignities she had suffered.

Just as she was thinking this, she couldnt help but feel a bit regretful when she saw the teacup on the table. If only the water on the table was boiling water, how much better it would be!

However, she couldnt pour hot water now; otherwise, it would seem too deliberate.

Soon, under everyones gaze, Li Yiran poured the water from the cup onto Zhong Yatings face.

In that instant, she experienced an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.

Everyone antic.i.p.ated that Zhong Yating would awaken, whether she had truly fainted or was feigning it.

Yet, to their surprise, Zhong Yating remained motionless, still unconscious.

A wry smile crept onto Zhongyu Liuyings lips as she observed Zhong Yating on the ground, her mockery intensifying. Who wouldve thought, shes quite the actress, isnt she?

Huangfu Ruixiang, who had remained silent, regarded the unconscious Zhong Yating with disgust and disdain.

Ordinarily, even if someone had truly fainted, being splashed with water would undoubtedly rouse them. Yet, Zhong Yating persisted in her pretense. Huangfu Ruixiang couldnt fathom her audacity.

Had it not been for the alleged life-saving grace, he would never have married Zhong Yating.

Little did he antic.i.p.ate that this purported life-saving grace was nothing but a ruse, orchestrated by Zhong Yating to coerce him into marrying her willingly.

Now that the truth had come to light, Zhong Yating showed no remorse, instead feigning vulnerability. It was utterly incomprehensible.

Upon witnessing Zhong Yatings demeanor, his resolve to divorce her solidified. He refused to spend his life with such a woman, let alone share a grave with her.

Furthermore, he was still young. Even post-divorce, given his status, finding another woman from an affluent family in the mortal world wouldnt pose a challenge.

With determination, Huangfu Ruixiang said to the unconscious Zhong Yating, Zhong Yating, stop pretending. Regardless, I must divorce you today. I will not spend my life with someone like you.

Standing nearby, Li Yiran couldnt contain her joy upon hearing Huangfu Ruixiangs words. She knew her objective for the day would undoubtedly be achieved.
