Dreaming of Divorcing Her (GL) - Chapter 4
What did Jiang Yunjuan mean by that?
Had she said something wrong just now?
That shouldn’t be the case. Her improvisational skills were always exceptionally gifted. She would bet her entire life’s fortune that Jiang Yunjuan couldn’t see through her act!
That was already the most vicious vow she could think of!
So what did Jiang Yunjuan’s text message mean?
Had she sent it to the wrong person?
In a panic, she began to frantically shake Yu Xinlan beside her.
“Sister, hurry, hurry, hurry! Emergency! Help me see, what does Jiang Yunjuan mean by this?”
Yu Xinlan was annoyed by her shaking and casually glanced at the text message. Her expression immediately changed drastically, “Holy crap! Did you screw up?”
Wen Qing was quite frightened by her reaction and tried to reassure herself, “Wouldn’t it? I’m usually… pretty well-behaved, right?”
“Think carefully. What exactly did you do to make Jiang Yunjuan say something like this?”
Wen Qing asked the bartender for another drink. After all, alcohol emboldened the timid. After downing a glass, she hesitantly said, “It’s just that before… I told Jiang Yunjuan I signed up for a lot of tutoring classes, but I was lying to her…”
Yu Xinlan: “???”
“Yeah… I told her before that the reason I couldn’t find time to see her or go back to the Jiang residence… was because I had tutoring classes…”
Yu Xinlan looked at her as if she were an idiot, “What the hell are you talking about?”
Wen Qing gave a wry smile, “Sigh, it’s just learning piano, violin, and how to play the suona and erhu. Wasn’t I just trying to stay far away from her…”
Yu Xinlan became more and more confused, “Why? Don’t you like Jiang Yunjuan?”
“I do like her… but I was afraid I’d get more and more deeply involved with her… Of course, that’s not the point. The point is, I didn’t seriously learn any of those things. I just went to a few classes…”
“Are you kidding me, sister??” Yu Xinlan’s face was full of question marks, “She actually believed that? Believed that you, Wen Qing, could learn all the musical instruments from ancient times to the present day, both Chinese and foreign?”
“She believed it!” Wen Qing nodded and then, as if suddenly remembering something, quickly added, “She even had her assistant send me an antique erhu a while ago, oh right, and an antique piano too.”
“Pfft—!”
The mouthful of fruit wine that Yu Xinlan was swallowing unexpectedly sprayed out…
Could this be the legendary case of one daring to say anything, and the other daring to believe anything?
Yu Xinlan didn’t know what to say anymore. She patted Wen Qing’s shoulder weakly, “Sister, believe me, Jiang Yunjuan definitely truly loves you!”
“But…”
“No buts!” Yu Xinlan said very firmly, “Hmm, I suddenly changed my mind. Either Jiang Yunjuan likes you, or…”
Wen Qing quickly asked, “Or what?”
Yu Xinlan suddenly said very seriously, “Or she has a screw loose in her head!”
Wen Qing: “…”
Why was the topic gradually deviating from the original track?
She just simply wanted to know what Jiang Yunjuan meant by sending her that message!
Besides, how could Jiang Yunjuan possibly like her?
The domineering CEO female lead Jiang Yunjuan belonged to the white lotus Su Liyang!
Wen Qing tried to directly correct the topic and asked, “What do you think… what exactly did Jiang Yunjuan want to express to me with that text message?”
Yu Xinlan thought for a moment and explained, “She probably just doesn’t want to divorce you. Bringing up divorce before was just to test you. Seeing that you agreed, President Jiang got angry. It’s just a woman’s little thoughts, you know???”
Wen Qing: “…”
Damn it!!!!
This won’t do!
She had to ask!!!!!

Jiang Residence
Putting down her phone, Jiang Yunjuan took a sip of the tea in her cup. It tasted very bitter, and the tea had already gone cold.
Putting her hand over her heart and asking herself honestly, in these three years of marriage, she had never treated Wen Qing badly.
Even their marriage that day was only because of a fortune teller’s words.
She had been frail and sickly since childhood and had sought medical treatment for many years. Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine had said that her illness was incurable and that she wouldn’t live past twenty-four.
Jiang Yunjuan had taken this calmly. After all, life and death were predetermined. But before her grandfather passed away, he had felt sorry for her, unable to bear her early demise, and had begun to place all his hopes on praying to gods and Buddhas.
One day, while she was accompanying the old man to pray to Buddha on the mountain, it suddenly rained heavily. They encountered a fortune teller halfway up the mountain.
The fortune teller frankly said that her illness was not congenital but rather due to a lack of heavenly blessing. She had to marry someone whose birth date and time indicated an imperial destiny to resolve it.
And Wen Qing’s birthday happened to be the fifth day of the ninth lunar month.
The ninth and fifth positions symbolized the supreme ruler, an imperial destiny.
If it were a boy, he would inevitably die young due to being unable to suppress such strong fortune.
But Wen Qing was a girl.
Before that, Jiang Yunjuan had never met Wen Qing. She had only heard that the Wen family had an unfavored youngest daughter. The elders of the Wen family had told her grandfather that Wen Qing was obedient and sensible and had liked her for many years since childhood, never changing her heart, and was a 100% willing to marry her.
Originally, she had thought it was just nonsense from the fortune teller. Originally, the Wen family, facing bankruptcy, had sent their daughter over simply to seek help from the Jiang family. Originally, her grandfather had asked her to marry Wen Qing just to have peace of mind, and she was happy to respect the old man’s wishes.
But after their marriage, her health had indeed begun to improve.
Out of a sense of compensation, after her grandfather passed away, when she took over the Jiang Corporation, she continued to strongly support the Wen family’s business and treated the always docile Wen Qing with extra kindness.
But she had never thought before that Wen Qing had two faces…
She really couldn’t understand how, beneath Wen Qing’s obedient exterior, there was such another side.
“Dong—dong dong—”
A knock sounded, and the nanny walked into the bedroom, placing a cup of pre-sleep calming tea for her.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, the nanny quietly retreated.
Outside the window, the long-silent late night had suddenly become windy, a sign of an approaching heavy rain.
She had been waiting for Wen Qing for almost an hour, and the person on the other end of the phone hadn’t even offered half an explanation.
This woman had actually lied to her for a full three years.
She had actually said with her own mouth that divorcing her was a great thing.
Was Wen Qing not replying to her messages because she had given up all hope and couldn’t even bother to explain, or…
Had she simply not understood the meaning behind her words?
Now, she really didn’t know what to do with Wen Qing.
Just as she was pondering, her phone notification rang.
She opened it. It was a message from Wen Qing: [Jiang Yunjuan… what do you mean? Are we still getting divorced?]
Sure enough, all Wen Qing cared about was how to divorce her.
The way she asked that question.
Naturally made the already angry Jiang Yunjuan even angrier.
After thinking for a moment, she replied to her: [I will go to Yushan on a business trip in three days. We’ll discuss the divorce when I return to Yujiang.]
The Wen Qing on the other end seemed to instantly feel relieved, and the message came back quickly: [Jiang Yunjuan, I heard the mountain roads in Yushan are rugged and prone to accidents. You must remember to buy a few more accident insurance policies~~~]
Jiang Yunjuan: “…”
It had only been a short while, and Wen Qing already wanted to curse her to death?
T/N: Wahahaha…
