When Song Jiaqi saw Su Nanqing sign the papers, the excitement in her eyes was almost impossible to conceal.
Su Nanqing was finally getting divorced. Gu Yushen was finally going to belong to her alone.
Seeing that Gu Yushen had already signed, Su Nanqing knew the divorce agreement would take legal effect once she signed as well.
She straightened her posture and handed the signed divorce agreement to Gu Yushen.
Gu Yushen stood very close to her. In their two years of marriage, this was the first time he had looked at Su Nanqing so closely.
Her skin was fairer than snow, her eyes clear like a spring. Dressed in a black dress, she appeared elegant yet somewhat languid, her coldly proud and spirited gaze carrying a captivating charm.
But the affectionate eyes that once gazed at him were now completely devoid of any love.
Gu Yushen’s heart suddenly panicked, as if something had slipped away from him.
His hand gripping the divorce agreement tightened uncontrollably.
Su Nanqing turned to Song Jiaqi. “Miss Song, are you satisfied?”
Song Jiaqi was satisfied—extremely satisfied.
Hadn’t she schemed against Su Nanqing precisely to drive her out in front of so many relatives and friends?
Her goal had finally been achieved.
“Sister, please don’t say that. I never meant to blame you…”
“Yes, you never blamed me. You only kept turning my family against me. Congratulations, you’ve won!”
Su Nanqing looked at her parents and her four indifferent older brothers, then smiled with a sense of release.
She calculated the timing and began to walk away with graceful, unhurried steps.
As she walked, she mentally counted down the seconds.
The Song family had thrown a birthday party for Song Jiaqi, but on that very day, Song Jiaqi had been kidnapped and assaulted.
Wang Ma, the maid by Song Jiaqi’s side, had testified that Su Nanqing was the one who harmed Song Jiaqi, which was why Gu Yushen had angrily knocked Su Nanqing unconscious.
After all, Gu Yushen and Song Jiaqi had grown up together since childhood.
In her mind, she counted down: five, four, three, two, one.
On the electronic screen behind her, a recording began to play:
“Miss, if you want Su Nanqing gone from the Song family forever and for Mr. Gu to divorce her, there’s only one way. You’ll have to endure a little hardship—arrange for someone to kidnap you and frame Su Nanqing.
Everyone dotes on you and loves you. With just a word from you, everyone will believe you, not that country girl Su Nanqing.”
“But Wang Ma, what if we get caught?”
“What’s there to fear, Miss? Don’t forget, all the previous times you set her up, even when Su Nanqing argued until she was blue in the face, Gu Yushen never believed her. He doesn’t love Su Nanqing at all—the one he loves is you. You’ve always been the one in his heart.
You’re his angel. How could he not believe you?”
“Wang Ma, I…”
“Alright, Miss, I’ll handle the arrangements. We just need to find a way to make Su Nanqing leave early that day and have someone in the household testify against her. Then we can kick her out for good.”
The crowd: “!!!”
“Oh my god, after all this drama, it turns out the Song family’s young lady orchestrated this whole show herself.”
“This woman is terrifying. To drive Su Nanqing away and steal her sister’s husband, she would go this far.”
The guests murmured among themselves.
Gu Yushen’s pupils trembled violently as he stared at Su Nanqing’s cold, detached features. She seemed changed—aloof, as if nothing mattered anymore.
Song Jiaqi was horrified. The electronic screen was originally meant to showcase highlights of her dancing, arranged by her eldest brother.
Yet now it was being used to play the evidence of her scheming against Su Nanqing.
“Ahhh… this isn’t real, this isn’t me! Su Nanqing, why are you framing me? Even when you’re about to leave, you still have to set me up like this.” Song Jiaqi instantly seized the initiative, screaming in agony.
Su Nanqing gave a cold, detached smile: “Even if I did frame you, wouldn’t all these people who love you standing by your side still believe you? Even if you confessed to murder, they wouldn’t believe you and would still defend you without hesitation.”
Song Jiaqi lowered her eyes, unable to believe this matter had been discovered.
Gu Yushen immediately stepped forward to speak up for Song Jiaqi: “Su Nanqing, don’t make baseless accusations. Jiaqi is so kind-hearted, she would never do such a thing. Su Nanqing, is it you who’s framing her?”
