Xu Jiasheng did not deny it: "The news of the divorce was indeed spread by me." 0
 
"But the pregnancy thing isn't my doing." He looked at me, "I'm not that heartless." 0
 
That was true. 0
 
However... 0
 
"Did you cause He Li Yan's Xiao Que'er account to suddenly go viral all over the internet?" I asked curiously. 0
 
Xu Jiasheng looked at me, a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "What do you think?" 0
 
I shook my head: "I can't guess." 0
 
Xu Jiasheng chuckled: "It was me." 0
 
I stared at him in surprise: "Why?" 0
 
Xu Jiasheng snorted coldly: "He Li Yan's Xiao Que'er was originally just a nobody." 0
 
"Her so-called scandalous photos were hardly enough to take down He Li Yan." Xu Jiasheng said coldly, "So I helped her gain some fame." 0
 
This was truly surprising. 0
 
I looked at Xu Jiasheng: "Doing this will offend people." 0
 
Xu Jiasheng smiled nonchalantly: "I've already offended him anyway." 0
 
"One more won't make a difference." He turned to me, his gaze gentle, "I just want to make you happy." 0
 
A flutter stirred in my heart. 0
 
To be honest, I was indeed quite happy. 0
 
This marriage had long caused me immense pain. 0
 
Seeing He Li Yan in trouble naturally brought me joy. 0
 
But what puzzled me was... 0
 
 
“Why does the He Family allow that Xiao Que'er to act so recklessly?” I asked in confusion. 0
 
Xu Jiasheng chuckled, “Probably because the old master of the He Family is seriously ill.” 0
 
“He Li Yan is too preoccupied with his own troubles to pay attention to that Xiao Que'er,” Xu Jiasheng sneered. “But that Xiao Que'er is quite capable.” 0
 
“It's hard to believe it has really come to the point where Old Master He has fallen ill because of this,” Xu Jiasheng shook his head. “Now He Li Yan has a lot on his plate.” 0
 
Indeed. 0
 
The old master of the He Family is the pillar of the family. 0
 
With him now ill, He Li Yan is naturally overwhelmed. 0
 
I took the divorce agreement and headed to the old residence of the He Family. 0
 
I hoped to resolve the divorce matters with He Li Yan once and for all. 0
 
But I didn’t expect that I would have to face not only He Li Yan but also his parents. 0
 
“Li Li, it’s normal for couples to have conflicts, but there’s no need to make it so ugly, right?” 0
 
My father-in-law looked at me with a stern face. “You are from the Wen Family, but you are also part of the He Family. If you make a scene, it won’t just be your face on the line; it will be the reputation of both the He Family and the Wen Family!” 0
 
I understood what my father-in-law meant. 0
 
He wanted me to maintain this marriage for the sake of both families' reputations. 0
 
But I was unwilling. 0
 
“Dad…” I looked at him, “This is my personal marriage, and I don’t want to compromise my own happiness.” 0
 
“I know you want me to uphold our families' honor by staying in this marriage, but I can't do it.” I closed my eyes. “I’m sorry.” 0
 
“Li Li, please don’t be so quick to refuse.” He Li Yan’s mother grasped my hand. “I know He Li Yan made mistakes, but he realizes he was wrong.” 0
 
“He has already cut ties with that woman outside,” she sighed. “Li Li, please give him another chance.” 0
 
 
"After all, you have been married for so many years," He Li Yan's mother looked at me, her eyes filled with a hint of pleading. "Can you really bear to give up like this?" 0
 
Her words stirred something within me. 0
 
After all, I had been married to He Li Yan for so many years. 0
 
It was impossible to say that there were no feelings involved. 0
 
At that moment, footsteps echoed from the staircase. 0
 
He Li Yan came down. 0
 
He looked considerably worn out. 0
 
His chin was covered in stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot. 0
 
He walked over and took my hand. "Li Li..." 0
 
"Can you not divorce me?" He grasped my wrist tightly, his voice hoarse. "Li Li, I won't make any more mistakes." 0
 
I bit my lip. "He Li Yan..." 0
 
With a thud, He Li Yan knelt before me. 0
