Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After thinking through all these twists and turns, Qi Yu suddenly let out a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that Song Nian had gone over that night. However, if he wanted to resolve this matter completely, another issue would arise – the divorce between him and Song Nian could not be exposed for the time being.

No matter what the reason for their divorce was, no one could know at this moment.

Qi Yu frowned and returned to the sofa to sit down. At this time, Zheng Chengyang called again. Qi Yu looked at it and picked up, “What’s up?”

Zheng Chengyang’s tone was very serious. “Boss, the lady boss and I are heading back.”

Qi Yu immediately said, “It’s alright, it’s convenient to talk now.”

Zheng Chengyang paused for a moment, then his tone instantly became much more relaxed, “Boss, what happened just now? Is something wrong?”

Qi Yu leaned against the sofa, “The incident at the hotel was exposed.”

Zheng Chengyang usually seemed quite silly, but his brain worked quickly at the crucial moment. He couldn’t help but swear. “F*ck, so they wanted to use this to blackmail us?!”

Qi Yu acknowledged and said, “But it’s fine now.”

Zheng Chengyang was still a little angry. Anyone who was schemed against would be unhappy. “These people are too sinister. If Song Nian didn’t go over that night, they would have really gotten their way.”

No matter the reason, as long as Qi Yu had s*x with another woman and was unfaithful to his own marriage, it would affect the company’s image. After all, people these days would never try to understand the reason and would only look at the consequences.

The Qi family’s company was big, and they had many rivals. If Qi Yu’s reputation were stained, many people would want to take advantage of it.

Zheng Chengyang felt a chill down his spine just thinking about that outcome.

Qi Yu leaned against the sofa and pinched the space between his brows, “It’s fine for now. You guys can continue to have fun.”

After this incident, Zheng Chengyang wasn’t in the mood to have fun anymore. He said, “Forget it. We’re already heading back. Song Nian’s stomach isn’t feeling well. She should get back and take some medicine.”

Qi Yu grunted and didn’t stop them, “Alright, we’ll talk when you guys get back.”

After hanging up, Qi Yu put his phone to the side. To be honest, his hind was a little messed up right now. Many things were out of his control during this business trip, and it didn’t feel good.

Qi Yu thought about it and remembered something important. He quickly called the Qi family’s old mansion, and the Old Madam answered the call, “Ah Yu?”

After Old Master Qi passed away, the Old Madam’s wasn’t too healthy either. She had been on a vegetarian diet and praying in the old mansion for the past few days. Qi Yu first asked about the Old Madam’s health before saying, “Grandma, I have something to tell you.”

The Old Madam nodded, “You can talk, but don’t make it so formal.”

The Old Madam was apprehensive about the way Qi Yu speaks. She remembered that the last time Qi Yu spoke to her so formally was to tell her that he wanted to divorce Song Nian. The Old Madam still remembered Qi Yu’s resolute expression when he spoke. 

In fact, the Old Madam was not quite approving of Qi Yu and Song Nian’s divorce, just like how she didn’t quite approve of Qi Yu marrying Song Nian back then.

Marriage wasn’t a child’s game, and modern society also believed in the superstitious concept of bringing prosperity into the family with a marriage. Back then, the Old Master’s attitude was firm in wanting to break off the engagement with the Xu family and let Qi Yu marry Song Nian. 

She was the first to oppose it, but Qi Yu compromised after much consideration, so she didn’t insist anymore. However, after the marriage, the Old Master still passed.

Then, Qi Yu told her that he wanted to divorce Song Nian, but she was also the first one to oppose it. The older generation was much more pious towards marriage, and most people intended to stay married for the rest of their lives. 

Unfortunately, other than her, everyone in the Qi family agreed to Qi Yu and Song Nian’s divorce. In addition, Qi Yu’s attitude was also very firm, so she didn’t say anything else.

After all, she was old and couldn’t keep up with the views of the times. In addition, it wasn’t appropriate for an old person like her to interfere too much in the affairs of her children and grandchildren.

Qi Yu was silent for a while on the phone before saying, “I encountered something on this business trip that might involve my marriage with Song Nian. I just want to ask. The family hasn’t announced my divorce yet, right? If it hasn’t been made public, then don’t make it public for the time being.”

The Old Madam was stunned, “What’s wrong? What happened to you?”

These things couldn’t be explained in a few sentences, So Qi Yu let out a sigh. “I’ll tell you about this in detail when I go back. Now, I only hope that you can help me keep this matter quiet..”
