Chapter 519: Chapter 519 There’s No Divorce_1
“Yufei, will you believe my explanation?”
“…” Jian Yufei didn’t respond.
He continued, “The decision to leave you was forced upon me.”
“Let’s not bring up past events, okay?” Jian Yufei spoke lightly, it didn’t matter to her why he left.
“We can’t avoid this, I have to tell you! You deserve to know.” Xiao Lang said decidedly, “Do you remember that day? Before the engagement ceremony, someone approached me. I got into their car and never returned.”
Of course, she remembered that day well. That was the day she told herself never to trust men again, to never cry for a man again.
“Later you called me, you said your father was critically ill and you had to rush back.”
“Yes, that’s what I had said. My father didn’t approve of us being together, he tricked me with his illness excuse. Only after I returned home did I realise, he was never sick.”
“So what? Xiao Lang, I’ve told you, no matter why you left me, I don’t care anymore.”
Xiao Lang took a step forward, his cold gaze swept over Ruan Tianling, “But there was another significant reason for my departure! Even if my father really was critically ill, I wouldn’t have left you with just a few words. The real reason I left was due to the despicable actions of the Ruan family!”
Ruan Tianling narrowed his sharp eyes, his tone icy, “What do you mean by that? Did we point a gun at you and force you to leave Jian Yufei? If you really cared about her, I suppose even if we killed you, you wouldn’t have yielded, right?”
“You’re right! If you had pointed a gun at me, I wouldn’t have compromised.” Xiao Lang let out a mocking laugh, his words spitting scorn and ridicule, “But the methods you used were even more despicable, worse than pointing a gun at me!”
Jian Yufei’s heart skipped a beat, was he telling the truth?
What did the Ruan family do to him back then?
“Why don’t you tell us, how did the Ruan family force you?” Ruan Tianling asked sarcastically, curious to see what kind of spin he could put on the story.
Xiao Lang clenched his fists, his tone angry, “The one who came to find me was the old patriarch of the Ruan family, Ruan Anguo! He had me brought to him, claiming he had something important related to Yufei for me. Thus, I went.”
“Yufei, do you know what he showed me?”
Jian Yufei shook her head, her heart in turmoil, was there something she didn’t know about?
Xiao Lang coldly chuckled, “He asked me to leave you, to cancel our engagement, I disagreed. In the end, he handed me something which, when I saw it, made me so angry I wanted to kill him!”
“What exactly did my grandfather show you?” Ruan Tianling demanded sternly, “Cut the suspense and spill it!”
“He showed me your and Jian Yufei’s marriage certificate!”
“What did you say?” Jian Yufei gasped, “Marriage certificate? That’s impossible, Ruan Tianling and I have long divorced!”
Ruan Tianling was also taken aback, why would it be a marriage certificate?
He and Jian Yufei were clearly already divorced, why would there be a marriage certificate.
“It is the marriage certificate. You two never divorced, he has been concealing this from you, and the divorce certificate he gave both of you was a fake! Yufei, I know you’ve always wanted to break away from the Ruan family,
