The atmosphere in the courtyard was somewhat heavy.
Shen Chi's face was as cold as ice as he tightly gripped the teacup in his hand. "Is this how they treat you?"
"What else could it be?" Su Mingxian looked up, her eyes filled with sarcasm. "What respect is there for a discarded woman with two burdens?"
"Damn it," Shen Chi suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand and stood up, ready to leave.
"What are you doing?" Su Mingxian immediately blocked his path.
"Seeking justice," Shen Chi's voice was chilling. He then raised his gaze, looking deeply at Su Mingxian. "They can treat me however they want, but they shouldn't treat you like this."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the courtyard was stunned. There was a story here; Fang Dahai's mouth dropped open in surprise. A man fighting for a woman—Brother Chi Zi was impressive!
Su Mingxian was momentarily taken aback as well. If not for Shen Chi's icy expression, she might have thought it was a romantic declaration. Unfortunately—
"I don't need it," Su Mingxian replied coolly. Shen Chi looked at his wife, whose demeanor had changed so much, puzzled. "Why don't you need it?"
Just then, Huangpu River stepped directly in front of Su Mingxian, separating the two with a provocative stance. "You're getting a divorce, so naturally, there's no need."
"Divorce? What divorce? Why would we get divorced?" Shen Chi's expression turned icy as he glared at Huangpu River. "Who are you?"
"Why divorce? It's obviously because of me. I'm Sister Xian's man, and I will be Qian Qian and Yang Yang's new dad in the future." Huangpu puffed out his chest proudly, but before he could finish, he was lifted off the ground in an instant.
“What's that? Say it again?” Shen Chi's gaze was fierce enough to devour, startling Huangpu River, whose beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with panic. “What are you doing? I'm just stating the facts. Are you planning to kill me? Even if you did, it wouldn't change anything.”
But then he turned to Su Mingxian with a pitiful expression. “Sister Xian—”
“Shut up.” Su Mingxian was nearly driven to madness. “You let him go; that’s not happening.”
Huangpu River immediately protested, “Sister Xian, you're lying! If you didn't like me, why did you strip me on our first meeting? I'm already yours; you can't just abandon me!”
At this revelation, Fang Dahai's mouth dropped open in shock. Wow, Sister-in-law is that bold? Stripping someone on the first meeting?
He glanced at his Brother Chi Zi and felt a wave of green wash over him. How dare this kid be so audacious with Brother Chi Zi? This guy was clearly asking for trouble. Fang Dahai quickly stepped back a few paces, worried about getting caught in the crossfire.
Meanwhile, Su Mingxian was fuming, her face flushed with anger. “Huangpu River, shut your mouth!”
At that moment, Shen Chi's fists were clenched tightly, cracking ominously as he glared at Huangpu River as if he could swallow him whole. “Su Mingxian, you're something else.”
With that, he tossed Huangpu River to the ground and turned to leave, his back radiating a menacing aura.
Fang Dahai paused for a moment but quickly followed without a second thought.
Su Mingxian was ready to explode from rage. Seeing this, Huangpu River looked pitiful and said, “Sister Xian, did I say something wrong? I—”
Bang—
"What's your opinion?" Su Mingxian slammed the table heavily, then with a cold expression said, "Huangpu River, there should be limits to your nonsense. If you continue like this, just get as far away from me as you can."
"I'm not being unreasonable; I'm serious. A man should stand his ground," Huangpu River quickly defended himself. However, when he saw Su Mingxian's increasingly frosty demeanor, he fell silent. Cautiously, he added, "Sister Xian, please don't be angry. Anyway, you two are getting a divorce, right? You're still young and will need to find a stepfather for the child. I'm just the right fit."
"Get lost—"
As soon as those words left his mouth, a teacup came flying toward him.
