Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 41

"Take marriage seriously? Aren't you the one who doesn't take marriage seriously? You married me for commercial benefit. Despite our agreement, you keep refusing to divorce me. How is any of this my fault?"

Jean's stomach turned with the rage she was feeling. She had never wanted this marriage. It had all been arranged by her father. Now, when she asked when they were going to get divorced, Zed was accusing her of being flippant.

"No matter what the conditions of our marriage, the fact still remains that we are married. We've even consummated our marriage! That makes us a real couple. Could you please stop bringing up the divorce?" He was clearly warning her with the cold expression in his eyes.

"But... But..."

She hemmed and hawed as she thought of an argument to counter Zed's remark. However, Jean failed to put her thoughts into words.

"I hope you'll comply with your duty as a wife and stay away from Ethan Lei in the future." Zed's slender eyes narrowed as he made his position clear. Despite the fact that he was clarifying his expectations to Jean, just the mention of Ethan Lei brought up his anger.

"I, I... Wait. Do you mean that you are not going to divorce me?" After hearing what he said, Jean finally understood how Zed felt about the issue.

Zed didn't reply. Instead, he raised an eyebrow as though daring Jean to think otherwise. It was about time! He had been so insistent on not getting the divorce that she should have figured it out much sooner.

Jean was getting a little anxious. She held onto his arm and shook it, "Didn't we make an agreement that we will get divorced after the cooperation ends?"

"Yes, we did. But you broke the rules, didn't you?" Not wanting to go into the intimate details, Zed raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jean frowned as she thought of their discussions. She suddenly remembered that she slept with him initiatively for the land. Then she remembered all the other things she had done after that.

The more she thought about it, the more red her cheeks became.

"So, what's it gonna take to get you to divorce me?" She asked him in a guilty whisper as she lowered her gaze to the floor.

"When I'm satisfied with your service, I will consider it." There was a slight smile playing on Zed's lips. 'It's so easy to get what I want. Instead of negotiating or demanding, she just agrees. Such a silly girl.'

She raised her burning cheeks, "Then you can at least tell me what you mean when you said, satisfied with your service."

Since her Residence Booklet was with Zed and that land hadn't been processed either, Jean decided it was best if they set new terms and conditions that would secure her the divorce.

"Just do your duty as a wife."

"It's easy for you to say that. I don't have any experience. How do I know what will satisfy you?"

He threw his hands up in the air, and then pointed to the door with an indifferent attitude, "Then leave."

"Come on. Let's try to get along. We are so familiar already. Don't drive me away every time, okay? How about I massage your shoulders? You must have been very uncomfortable on the couch last night. Let me give you a massage."

She caved immediately. When she was about to stand up, Zed glanced at her injured foot, "Given your situation, you don't have to do anything right now. We'll think about other things later. We have a lot of time in the future."

Situation? Was Zed talking about her menstruation or her injured foot...

...

At the Wen house, Shirley pushed the door to Winner's room open. She was upset when she saw that he was playing video games. So she stepped forward and pressed the shutdown button, "Can you be more productive? Winner!"

Seeing the screen of the computer darken, Winner banged the keyboard furiously, "I was in a team battle. I haven't even dropped my ultimate magic power!"

Shirley poked at his head forcibly and scolded, "What's wrong with you? You do nothing except play video games!"

"What's wrong with playing video games? I'm going to be a professional gamer someday. Don't look down on me for playing video games."

Winner rolled his eyes and reached for the power button. However, Shirley hit him on the back of his hand. Winner let out a cry of pain.

"Sis, what do you want ?"

"Hmph, look at Jean Wen. She's married a rich and handsome man. But look at us..." The more Shirley thought about it, the more envious she felt.

"What's wrong with us? We are not poor, all right? We have enough food and clothes. People even call me the rich second generation!" Winner was pretty satisfied with his present life. If he needed money, he just asked for it.

"Yes, we have money. But our wealth is nothing when compared to Zed's. How come Jean Wen gets all of this? Why is she always so lucky?"

"Aren't they getting divorced? What are you envious about? Jean Wen doesn't have the chance to enjoy her wealth nor status. After she is driven out by Zed, she will be no more than a poor second-hand, homeless woman. I really don't know what she was thinking when she cut off her relationship with our father. Does she think that she will have no concerns after marrying Zed? Has she forgotten that she married him for commercial benefits?"

Shirley sighed, "This morning, Zed's secretary brought a file. It was an agreement on cutting off Jean Wen's relationship with our father. She's already signed it. Along with the agreement, there is also the contract for the land."

"Then you should be pleased. The land is finally ours." Winner said as he leaned forward to obstruct the computer monitor with his body. He didn't want Shirley to see that he had turned the computer on.

Shirley sat down on Winner's bed with a heavy sigh, "But from what I can see, Zed isn't planning on getting divorced."

"So you mean, Jean Wen has managed to manipulate Zed?"

Upon seeing Shirley nod her head, Winner's suspicions were confirmed. "She must have planned all of this! Signing an agreement to sever her relationship with our father was a calculated step. She was afraid that our family would use her to get to Zed!"

Shirley clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth, "No matter what, I just can't see her living a better life than me! It's a good thing that she severed her relationship with our father. Now, I don't need to consider our father's reputation when I plan my vengeance!"

"Sis, are you thinking about teaching Jean Wen a lesson? What are you going to do?" Winner's interest in the computer game had died completely. Teaching Jean Wen a lesson was so much more interesting than a computer game!

"Let's go to her room and have a look." Shirley seemed to have recalled something and dragged Winner out of his room.

Winner glanced at the computer before following Shirley.

Once in Jean's room, Shirley and Winner navigated all the clutter to get to her study table. While Shirley began thoroughly searching every drawer, she asked Winner to turn on the computer.

After a long and exhausting search, Shirley and Winner had found nothing useful. Just as they were ready to give up, they stumbled across several photos in her bookcase.

"Winner, open the browser and see if Jean Wen has saved her password for Weibo's login page." Shirley was excited. She knew exactly what to do with the photos.

Winner opened the website and logged into Jean's Weibo, "Sis, I got in."

"All right. Scan the photos and send them to the computer. I will edit the title first." Shirley said as she handed the photos to Winner. Then she sat on the chair, pulled the keyboard closer, and began typing.

"Ethan Lei, I haven't forgotten you after all this time. You are still my favorite!" Shirley typed these lines and attached the photos of Jean with Ethan. She posted on Weibo using Jean's account and then contacted several gossip bloggers to forward it. It didn't take long for the post to become popular.

The clicks on the topic, "CEO Of Qi Group Was Cheated On By His Sweet Wife, " kept rising quickly.
