The questions asked were all about where she was.
Including…
Telling her that Sheng Lianjue had been hospitalized due to a stomach ailment.
In the past, she would have dropped everything and everyone to rush to the hospital to care for him, crying heartbrokenly in his arms.
But not anymore…
No matter how much she gave, he would never even glance her way!
Just as he had said.
Her very existence only brought him trouble.
A burden he couldn’t take out in public, a useless waste!
Sheng Jingcheng, who had been lounging on the hospital sofa chatting idly, immediately jumped up when he saw Jiang Wan’s reply. He scurried over to Sheng Lianjue’s bedside like a puppy with a prize, “L-Little Uncle… that woman is alive!”
Sheng Lianjue took the phone, clicked on Jiang Wan’s profile picture, and noticed it had changed.
Before, her profile picture was their marriage certificate photo. Now, it had become a sunflower.
Sheng Lianjue’s eyes darkened slightly as he opened the chat window.
He initiated a voice call.
However…
It displayed: You are no longer a friend of this contact.
He clicked to add her.
It showed he had been blocked.
Looking at the string of text Jiang Wan had sent in the group chat, Sheng Lianjue felt a surge of turmoil inside.
Had he not seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed Jiang Wan could ever send such cold words.
In the days since Jiang Wan had been gone, Sheng Lianjue had carried on as usual—going to work, attending meetings…
Day after day, waiting for her to return.
It wasn’t until he collapsed during a meeting and woke up in the hospital that he could no longer deny it: Jiang Wan had left him for a full eleven days, eleven hours, twenty minutes, and fifty-seven seconds.
Only then did he realize that Jiang Wan, who had proposed divorce for the twenty-fourth time and run away from home for the third time, had truly left.
Gao Yuan: “…”
He had witnessed the state his boss was in these past days.
At the company, he was the decisive executive CEO who commanded fear from everyone. But the moment he returned home, his eyes would habitually drift toward the sofa.
It was as if his soul had been drained, leaving behind only an empty shell, moving like a walking corpse.
Gao Yuan had never imagined Jiang Wan’s departure would hit the CEO so hard.
“Find the location of her phone’s IP address. Wherever she is, bring Mrs. Sheng back,” the man’s voice was cold and detached.
“Yes, CEO.”
Gao Yuan traced Jiang Wan’s location to Wuchuan City.
Even while ill in bed, the man didn’t neglect his affairs. “Tell her I don’t have time to play house with her.
She’s been in Wuchuan long enough. Give her one day to return. If she doesn’t, terminate all cooperation with the Zong family.”
All these years, he had been too lenient with her, which was why she dared to propose divorce!
Zong Wangchuan had started his own factory, specializing in automated mechanical processing.
Over the years, thanks to the Sheng family’s connections and support, Zong Wangchuan had secured numerous collaboration opportunities with other companies, including many major buyers who relied on the Sheng family’s network and steady stream of business.
“But we can’t reach Mrs. Sheng. Even if we call, she won’t answer.”
Sheng Lianjue’s fingers paused over the keyboard. “If she doesn’t return, let her see what she gains by leaving the Sheng family!”
It seemed the CEO was truly angry this time, even targeting Jiang Wan’s adoptive parents’ family.
Yet, within three hours, Zong Wangchuan received news that all buyers had canceled their orders.Each order was worth hundreds of thousands, with the total value already exceeding three million.
Even other parts manufacturing companies had begun cutting off their supply to him.
Additionally, he received another lawyer’s letter.
Because their factory’s machinery production was non-compliant, resulting in an employee losing a hand, the relevant authorities had now sealed his factory.
One of the reasons was that due to non-standard manufacturing practices at the factory, a worker was injured, and operations were now suspended for rectification.
If mishandled, Zong Wangchuan could very likely face a lawsuit that might land him in prison.
Lin Qiuhe slammed the lawyer’s letter documents on the table. “…Zong Wangchuan, look at the mess she’s caused—coming back and stirring up such huge trouble for us. I told you, why did you have to go to the capital and meddle in other people’s business? It’s obvious someone is behind this. Are you satisfied now?
We still have thousands in mortgage payments every month, and Xiaoxiao’s milk powder to buy. Now that you’ve lost the factory and can’t do business, not only do you have to pay a huge sum in compensation, but you might also go to prison. If you don’t send her back to the capital…”
“I’m telling you, I’ll take the child and divorce you!”
Zong Wangchuan’s face darkened. “Even if Jiang Wan isn’t related by blood to the Zong family, she’s still my sister. Even if I lose the factory and go to prison, I won’t send her back.”
Lin Qiuhe: “Now there’s a group of workers outside the factory demanding their wages—hundreds of thousands in salaries. How are you going to pay them? Jiang Wan was just picked up by your mother. You’ve been good to her, but what about her… She didn’t even invite you to her wedding, because she thinks we’re an embarrassment!”
Jiang Wan, who had just returned after accompanying a patient, overheard these words at the door, and her heart ached with pain.
She hadn’t not invited them.
It was because she and Sheng Lianjue didn’t even have a proper wedding.
Jiang Wan knew it must be Sheng Lianjue’s doing.
She never expected him to be so despicable and shameless!
They were already divorced, yet he still targeted her family.
Jiang Wan turned and left, pulling the familiar number out of her blacklist and dialing.
The call was answered only at the very last second.
