AWB Chapter 315 Divorce?
Chapter 315 Divorce?
"Alright, get out of here. No one bullied your aunt. It was your aunt who made a mistake." Zhang Xian wanted to get Zhang Zong out of the house as soon as possible. Even if this son was stupid, he was still his only son. He couldn't afford to offend Wang Yang again and cause any trouble.
"Father, you haven't said you'd release Mother yet." Zhang Zong finally remembered the purpose of his visit.
"Get out! I know what I'm doing with your aunt's affairs, you don't need to worry about it. Go back to your room, or you can go to jail with your aunt." Zhang Xian was getting impatient. Didn't he see there were still so many people here?
"Father." President Zhang looked at Zhang Xian in disbelief. This was the first time Zhang Xian had shown him such an expression, and Zhang Zong found it hard to accept.
But not daring to say anything, he could only leave, turning back every few steps.
"Lord Zhang really dotes on his son!" Wang Yang said sarcastically.
Zhang Xian pretended not to hear.
"Zhang Xian, what do you plan to do with Aunt Wei?" Wang Yang had no intention of letting her off the hook. She dared to lay a hand on the Wang family, and he would make her know what the consequences would be.
"Brother, don't worry, leave this to me. I won't let you down." Naturally, he wanted Aunt Wei to disappear, but there were other people in the room, so he couldn't say it openly.
Xiao Qinian and the others knew that the Zhang family would be dealing with their domestic affairs next, so they didn't want to listen in or make a scene.
Xiao Qinian stood up and said to the group, "Lord Wang, Lord Zhang, Madam Zhang, we have been bothering your residence for quite some time. Now that things are clear and Jiaoyan Pavilion has been exonerated, we will take our leave."
“We should be the ones apologizing for dragging you into such a shady affair. However, I have matters to attend to at my residence today, and I will personally visit you to apologize tomorrow.” Wang Xi bowed.
"Mrs. Zhang, you're too kind. We'll be taking our leave now."
"I won't stay any longer, so I'll take my leave with Lord Xiao." Physician Qu also bid farewell to the group.
"I am very grateful to Physician Qu for saving my life today. I will definitely prepare a gift to thank you at your residence another day. Today is too chaotic, so I will not keep Physician Qu any longer. I hope you will not take it to heart."
Wang Xi bowed to Physician Qu again to express his gratitude, showing great courtesy.
The three escorted Xiao Qinian and the others to the gate, where Xiao Siyue and the others parted ways with Physician Qu.
At the Zhang residence, only the three of them remained in Wang Xi's living room.
"Tell me, what did Aunt Wei mean before? Why haven't you consummated your marriage after twenty years?" Wang Yang could hardly believe it.
Back then, he didn't want his sister to marry Zhang Xian, a good-for-nothing pretty boy, but his sister insisted on getting married against her family's wishes. In addition, Zhang Xian repeatedly assured them that he would treat his sister well, so they reluctantly agreed to the marriage.
Several years passed, but the younger sister still hadn't gotten pregnant, which made them very anxious. However, seeing that Zhang Xian didn't seem to mind, they felt somewhat guilty, thinking that they might have misjudged him. They believed that Zhang Xian was a good person, so they used their connections to help him get promoted several ranks from his minor official position.
However, within two years, Zhang Xian took several concubines, which angered Zhang Xian so much that he stopped caring about Zhang Xian.
"Brother, please don't ask about this anymore." Wang Xi didn't want to talk about what happened back then. If Zhang Xian hadn't used tricks to threaten her with her innocence and forced her to marry him, she wouldn't be in this situation now.
She loathed Zhang Xian, that shameless man, so how could he possibly consummate their marriage?
Thinking of this, Wang Xi's face showed a hint of sadness.
Wang Yang noticed the sadness that flashed across his sister's face and knew that she might have some unspeakable reason.
Since his younger sister was unwilling to talk about it, he didn't ask: "Little sister, since you're not happy staying in the Zhang family, why don't you come back with your older brother?"
"Big Brother!" Wang Xi's eyes widened as he stared at Wang Yang in shock.
What does "elder brother" mean? Is it what she thinks?
"Big brother, do you mean I should go home and recover from my injuries?" Wang Xi asked in a low voice.
"No, what I mean is that since you don't like Zhang Xian, then divorce him and go home. The Wang family will always be your home."
Wang Yang genuinely loved his younger sister; after all, in this era, who would advise a divorce?
"Big brother, thank you." Wang Xi finally couldn't hold back her tears. Even though she hadn't cried when a rash suddenly appeared on her face today, she really couldn't hold back now.
"Don't cry, little sister. Your face is still injured. You can't cry, or it won't heal. Aren't you the most vain one?" Wang Yang coaxed her in a low voice, despite his bandit-like appearance, just like when she was a child.
The two of them were very close, like brother and sister, but Zhang Xian, who was standing by, was very worried because he was unwilling to divorce Wang Xi.
He is self-aware that he has achieved his current official position only because of the Wang family. If they were to divorce, given what he did to Wang Xi, he probably wouldn't even be able to keep his current position. He's even thinking about taking another step forward.
"Brother, Madam, I will not divorce you, I absolutely will not divorce you." Zhang Xian hurriedly stated, he still needed the power of the Wang family, and if he divorced them, he would have no connection with them anymore.
"Whether or not we get a divorce isn't up to you. You stay out of the way," Wang Yang said angrily, turning his head away.
"Brother, as the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. My wife and I have been married for almost twenty years. How can you ask us to get a divorce?"
"So what if it's been twenty years? You two didn't have any feelings for each other anyway. Besides, you're divorced, so you can marry whoever you want." Did he think he didn't know Zhang Xian's thoughts? Did he think he could use the power of the Wang family as he pleased?
"Brother, even if you don't consider me, you should at least consider Xiaoxi. If you get a divorce, what will people say about her? Can you bear to let Xiaoxi become the subject of gossip?" Zhang Xian hurriedly advised.
"Let's see who dares to talk about my sister," Wang Yang said fiercely, raising an eyebrow.
Zhang Xian was exasperated; why was this person so difficult to talk to?
Wang Xi was deeply moved by her brother's actions, but she was almost forty years old and no longer the carefree young lady who had everything taken care of at home.
Although she was tempted, she didn't want to cause trouble for the Wang family. If they really got divorced, the Wang family would definitely become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.
Anyway, so many years have passed, and because of his family background, he has not had a bad life in the Zhang family all these years. As long as the people in the backyard do not bother her, she can completely ignore them.
After thinking it through, Wang Xi looked at his older brother and said, "Brother, let's forget about the divorce. I'm not young anymore, and I don't want to go through all that trouble."
"Little sister, you're still young. You have a bright future ahead of you. You can't waste it here." He was even thinking of finding her a reliable person after Wang Xi got divorced.
