Chapter 7

"Why doesn't he just die?

Why doesn't he just die?"

As soon as she returned to the Tang family villa, even before the front door was closed, Lin Qiuling, who had been suppressing her anger all night, erupted.

"Get this waste of space out of here, out of our Tang family," she shouted, pointing at Ye Fei, who had not yet entered the door. "Get as far away as you can."

Ye Fei had exposed the painting as a fake in front of everyone, not only humiliating Han Jianfeng but also putting her, the main character, in an awkward position.

Even a freeloader could see it was a fake, yet she and Tang Jianguo could not. Wasn't that worse than being a waste of space?

Lin Qiuling couldn't tell everyone that she had deliberately favored Han Jianfeng.

Of course, what truly infuriated her was the ginseng fruit.

Three million yuan.

For longevity.

Such a precious item, Ye Fei had eaten it all by himself.

After all, it was originally meant for Old Tang and herself.

This made Lin Qiuling's heart bleed.

It felt like a three million yuan lottery ticket had been washed away in her washing machine.

She was embarrassed, angry, and frustrated.

But she wouldn't blame the Hans; she would only hate the disobedient Ye Fei.

"Get out, did you hear me?"

Lin Qiuling screamed at Ye Fei, "The Tang family doesn't want a white-eyed wolf like you."

Tang SanGuo looked helpless, wanting to say something but ultimately remained silent.

Ye Fei didn't enter the door to avoid the noise pollution.

After practicing the Tai Chi Sutra and mastering the Life and Death Jade, Ye Fei had unknowingly become more confident and composed.

"Mom, what did I do wrong?"

Ye Fei, no longer the timid person he used to be, spoke calmly and confidently, "The painting wasn't from me, it was from my brother-in-law. If you want to blame someone, blame him for giving a fake."

"Also, that ginseng fruit, you all said it was trash."

Ye Fei faced Lin Qiuling's fierce gaze calmly, "No matter how upset you are, you can't blame me."

"Do you think I'm so stupid that I can't tell the painting is fake?

Is that ginseng fruit real?"

"I saw through everything at a glance."

Lin Qiuling shouted, "But in that situation, could I embarrass my brother-in-law?"

"You can't embarrass your brother-in-law, but you can embarrass me?"

Ye Fei showed a hint of mockery, "And twisting the facts is very unfair to me."

Tang Ruoxue frowned, sensing that Ye Fei was different from before.

"Embarrass you?

What kind of face does a freeloader like you have?"

Lin Qiuling became even more furious, "Can your face compare to your brother-in-law's?"

"How can a househusband who only does chores compare to your brother-in-law, who is a boss?"

"Han Jianfeng gives the Tang family hundreds of thousands of yuan every year, while you spend hundreds of thousands of the Tang family's money. How can you compare?"

"Embarrassing you is an honor for a white-eyed wolf like you."

She pointed at Ye Fei and shouted, "An honor, do you understand?"

In Lin Qiuling's view, Ye Fei should endure all oppression and injustice. Any resistance would be considered a grave offense.

Ye Fei smiled faintly and said nothing, only looking at Tang Ruoxue, hoping she would say something fair.

Ye Fei wasn't afraid of Lin Qiuling's outburst; he just wanted to know that he wasn't alone at this moment.

He wanted to know that he had a wife.

Tang Ruoxue met his gaze coldly, slightly impatient, "Alright, it's late, stop arguing."

"Ye Fei, apologize to Mom."

"Regardless, Mom is an elder. Making her angry is your fault."

Tang Ruoxue ultimately sided with her mother, "Hurry up and apologize to Mom."

Tang SanGuo echoed, "Ye Fei, apologize."

Lin Qiuling pointed outside and shouted, "I don't want his apology, I want him gone."

Ye Fei took a step forward and said calmly, "Mom, I want to divorce Ruoxue."

"Fine..." Lin Qiuling subconsciously replied, "Divorce, then..." Halfway through, she shuddered, "What did you say?"

Ye Fei repeated, "I want to divorce Ruoxue."

Divorce?

The entire family fell into a dead silence.

Lin Qiuling and the others stared at Ye Fei in shock.

No one expected Ye Fei to say such a thing.

According to Lin Qiuling's plan, Ye Fei should have knelt down, wept bitterly, and begged for forgiveness.

After all, Ye Fei was good for nothing and couldn't even find a job, and he relied on the Tang family's money to treat Shen Biqin.

But he wanted to divorce Tang Ruoxue.

This not only shocked Lin Qiuling and the others but also made them feel suffocated.

Tang Ruoxue's face also froze, "You... want to divorce me?"

"Let's part ways amicably."

Ye Fei said calmly, "For the Tang family, my value as a good omen has been used up. Staying here would only be a burden to you."

"Ruoxue, bring your household registration book tomorrow, and we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get divorced."

Tang Ruoxue's attitude just now had shattered his last bit of hope for their relationship.

She had never treated him as a husband; it was all his one-sided wish.

The impression of their first meeting eighteen years ago flashed in his mind.

But people change. The little girl who, though temperamental, was clear about right and wrong, was long gone... "Divorce?"

Lin Qiuling also reacted, laughing in anger, "A freeloader dares to divorce? Do you really think you're someone important?"

Over the past few months, she had repeatedly asked Tang Ruoxue to divorce Ye Fei, but each time, something unexpected happened and it didn't work out.

Lin Qiuling secretly wished Ye Fei would leave the Tang family as soon as possible.

But now, she didn't think so anymore.

Because Ye Fei had proposed it himself.

Not only her daughter, but also she and the Tang family, would lose face.

"What right do you have to talk about divorce?"

Lin Qiuling pointed at Ye Fei angrily, "Without the Tang family, you, a waste of space, would starve to death in two days."

Ye Fei's gaze was calm, "Let's divorce. I don't want any connection with the Tang family."

No connection with the Tang family?

Lin Qiuling laughed in anger, "Fine, divorce, if you want to divorce, that's fine too."

"Fifty thousand yuan aside."

"This year, you've eaten, drunk, and lived off the Tang family. You owe us a huge favor."

Her voice suddenly rose, "If you want to divorce, fine, pay us back first."

Ye Fei asked calmly, "How do I pay you back?"

"The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce owes my Spring Breeze Clinic two million yuan in goods payment."

Lin Qiuling sneered, "You're so capable and bold, go and collect that money for me tomorrow."

"Once you get it, I'll let Ruoxue divorce you immediately."

She pushed Ye Fei to the brink, "Otherwise, you can go bricklaying, sell blood, or do anything to pay off the debt to the Tang family."

Tang Ruoxue's face changed, "Mom..." "Shut up!"

Lin Qiuling interrupted Tang Ruoxue, staring at Ye Fei coldly, "Any problems?"

Ye Fei nodded, "No problems."

Then, he silently walked through the hall, up the stairs, and into Tang Ruoxue's bedroom.

The bedroom was a suite. Inside was a small living room, and behind it was a bedroom.

Tang Ruoxue lived in the bedroom, while Ye Fei slept on the sofa in the small living room.

For a year, Ye Fei and Tang Ruoxue were separated by a wall, and he had never entered the bedroom or been intimate with her.

Lin Qiuling often mocked him as a watchdog.

Countless times, Ye Fei had longed to sleep in the big bed in the bedroom.

But over the year, Ye Fei had become increasingly clear that it was an unattainable dream.

Tonight, Ye Fei knew it was time to let go... Just as Ye Fei sat down on the sofa, Tang Ruoxue pushed the door open and stormed in, furious, "Ye Fei, who do you think you are?

What right do you have to look down on me?"

She asked bluntly, "What gives you the right to divorce me?"

Ye Fei deliberately provoked her, "A crazy woman who can't tell right from wrong, why keep her around?"

"Crazy woman?"

Tang Ruoxue laughed in anger, "Then what are you?"

"Can't find a job, can't do housework, and still need a crazy woman's money to treat your mother. You're a waste of space, even worse than a crazy woman."

She despised Ye Fei even more, seeing him as not only weak and incapable but also arrogant and self-important.

Ye Fei smiled indifferently, "If I'm a waste of space, then let's divorce and part ways amicably."

Tang Ruoxue was enraged, "You don't have the right to talk about divorce. Only I can divorce you."

"You think you can collect two million yuan? Ye Fei, don't overestimate yourself."

She sneered, "The debt of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, a waste of space like you, could never collect it in a hundred years..." After saying this, Tang Ruoxue slammed the door and left.

She would never believe that Ye Fei could collect two million yuan.

But she had a strange feeling.

When she looked into Ye Fei's eyes just now, she saw a profound depth and an incomparable confidence...
