Chapter 16: Chapter 16: The Wife is Dissatisfied with the Division of Property
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ming Wan looked at the delicate and beautiful woman before her. Despite the smile on her face and the tear mole at the corner of her eye exuding charm, a faint and almost imperceptible glimmer of murderous intent flashed through her autumn water-like eyes.
That hint of murderous intent was chilling and intimidating, making people shudder involuntarily.
Ming Wan blinked and turned her gaze back to Ming Yao.
The murderous intent at the bottom of her eyes had already disappeared completely.
Even Ming Wan herself didn’t know whether she had been seeing things or if Ming Yao truly possessed such a powerful aura.
Ming Yao walked away in her high heels.
Ming Wan watched her retreating figure, almost grinding her teeth to pieces.
She must have seen it wrong just now!
Ming Yao had been abducted by traffickers to the countryside when she was very young and was not found by the Ming Family until she was twelve.
Apart from her beauty, she was inferior to Ming Wan in every way.
Ming Wan had studied abroad and became a popular star upon returning to her country.
She was also blessed with talents from well-known designers and interpreters.
Ming Yao and she were not even on the same level.
But Ming Yao’s behavior tonight was really abnormal—
Could it be because she was dressed too scantily, deliberately went to the Imperial Garden to see Fourth Master Gu, and aroused Ming Yao’s suspicion?
Ming Wan frowned deeply, took out her phone, and called Xiao Yixuan.
The phone rang a few times before it was answered.
Upon hearing about Xiao Yixuan’s ordeal, Ming Wan’s eyes widened.
“Your sister is such a bitch, actually intentionally spraying perfume that attracts bees on me, nearly ruining my face!”
Although it had not resulted in disfigurement, she would need at least three months to recover, which was a colossal loss for a star with a large following.
“Once I get her divorce settlement, I will definitely make her pay a painful price!”
“No, I have an idea right now that can have her completely in my palm.”
Xiao Yixuan shared his plan. After listening, Ming Wan pretended to be concerned, “Brother Yixuan, isn’t that a bit too much?”
“Wanwan, you’re just too kind. Your sister is so vicious—I must make sure she is punished this time!”
“Hiss… my face still hurts so much, Wanwan, I’ll talk to you later.”
…
Ming Yao returned to the hotel and impatiently took out the shirt she had stolen from her bag.
She held it to her nose and took a whiff.
The scent was fresh with a gentle woody fragrance, the pleasant smell of cold fir.
Ming Yao lay on the bed, burying her face in the man’s shirt, deeply inhaling several times.
The throbbing pain in her temples eased quite a bit.
Gradually, she fell into a deep sleep.
……
Imperial Garden.
Gu Siting came out of the walk-in closet, wearing a dark cyan sleep robe.
He glanced at the bed, thinking of the woman who had lain there, and said coldly, “Change the bedsheets. Also, disinfect underneath the bed, and give Little Snowball another bath!”
Steward Zhong sighed internally.
Fourth Master had grown so repulsed by his wife that everything and everywhere she touched needed to be cleaned and disinfected.
But who could blame Fourth Master for hating her, considering how she had acted since marrying him!
After giving his instructions, Gu Siting went to his study.
He called Lu Zhou, “Has she signed yet?”
Lu Zhou replied respectfully, “The lawyer hasn’t yet received the signed divorce agreement from madam.”
Gu Siting walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, holding the phone in one hand and a cigarette in the other, took a drag, and slowly exhaled a ring of smoke. Under the swirling smoke, his dark eyes were profound and impenetrable.
His tall and upright figure was reflected on the floor-to-ceiling window, exuding an aura of nobility, frostiness, and sternness.
“Why hasn’t she signed yet?”
Wasn’t she eager to divorce him? It would have been the perfect opportunity with the old lady away in the capital and not in Li City—sign the divorce papers and be rid of each other forever. Wouldn’t that fulfill her wishes?
Lu Zhou paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, his breathing slightly uneven due to nervousness.
“Fourth Master… the lawyer said that madam is dissatisfied with the division of property.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Siting’s handsome face instantly darkened.
That greedy woman!
