After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Seeing her husband's shameless behavior, Ye Xingning sneered and said, "Ma Hongyu, you've been having so many affairs outside, do you think I'd keep you around for the holidays if I didn't divorce you?"

Ma Hongyu gave a cold laugh and said to Ye Xingning, "You're absolutely right. We should at least finish celebrating the New Year before we talk about this!"

Ye Xingning looked at Ma Hongyu and said calmly, "Ma Hongyu, isn't your purpose in doing this just to gradually devour the inheritance left to me by my parents? You shameless scoundrel, don't even think about it!"

Ma Hongyu chuckled and said, "Ningning, don't put it so harshly. What do you mean by 'your parents'? They are our parents, and they are our joint property!"

When Ye Xingning heard Ma Hongyu say such shameless words, she said to him, "Ma Hongyu, I don't want to see scum like you even once. Get out of here right now. I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. We'll see each other in court. The law will give me justice!"

Ma Hongyu looked at Ye Xingning and said, "Heh, who are you calling scum? You're out fooling around with random men in the middle of the night, how can you be any better than me?"

Ye Xingning didn't argue with Ma Hongyu when she heard his words. Instead, she said to him in a very calm tone, "We can resolve our own issues privately. We're all here to eat today. You eat yours, I'll eat mine, and we won't bother each other. I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

The fashionable woman standing to the side shook Ma Hongyu's arm and said to him, "Hongyu, don't argue with her here, it'll ruin your mood. I'm starving, let's go eat!"

After hearing the fashionable woman's words, Ma Hongyu gave Ye Xingning a cold look before leaving.

After Ma Hongyu left, Ye Xingning looked at Xu Bo'an and Li Dehou and said to them apologetically, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to disturb you two just now, please forgive me!"

Xu Bo'an didn't comment on the conversation between Ye Xingning and Ma Hongyu, because he had overheard that it was a matter between the couple, and as an outsider, he didn't understand the reasons behind it and it wasn't appropriate for him to meddle in their family affairs!
After Ma Hongyu left, Xu Bo'an said to Ye Xingning, "Xingning, has something happened to you lately?"

Ye Xingning shook her head helplessly and said to Xu Bo'an, "I'm really sorry that you had to see me make a fool of myself so soon after we met!"

Xu Bo'an said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Every family has its own problems. When something happens, no one can do anything about it. Just solve it! It seems like you two are having a pretty bad argument! Would you mind talking about it? Is there anything I can help with?"

Ye Xingning said, "This isn't some kind of secret. We've been making a fuss like this for a while now. I'm an only child, and when I reached marriageable age, my parents, because they loved me dearly and were afraid I'd suffer mistreatment in my husband's family, wanted to keep me with them. So, among the men who were pursuing me at the time, they chose Ma Hongyu, who was willing to be a live-in son-in-law."
My dad arranged for him to work at our family company, letting him start from the bottom and gradually gain experience. At first, Ma Hongyu was very diligent, which led my dad to promote him to the position of deputy general manager. However, after working as deputy general manager for a while, he started to get arrogant and often used the excuse of going out to discuss work to visit shady places.

When I found out, I didn't dare tell my parents, afraid of hurting them. I thought I could resolve this privately with him. Unexpectedly, this guy started secretly abusing his power to embezzle company assets behind my father's back, and even tried to gradually transfer the company to his own name. I was forced to tell my father, but it was too late. By the time he found out, he already controlled 70% of the company's shares. Then he filed for divorce, shamelessly demanding a share of our house and the remaining company shares. He wouldn't divorce me if I didn't agree, so things have been stalled ever since.

"Sigh, it's all my fault for marrying the wrong person. They've ruined my family. As their only daughter, how can I just stand by and watch my father's hard work be taken by someone else? That's why I've been searching for evidence, hoping to resolve this matter and give my parents a satisfactory explanation!"

After hearing Ye Xingning's explanation, Xu Bo'an felt very resentful of Ma Hongyu's actions. He then said to Ye Xingning, "Xingning, you treated him like family and helped him rise to the top, but he repays you like this. He is truly an ingrate!"

Ye Xingning said, "Yes, it's all his fault for pretending too well at the beginning, making us think he was a reliable person. We never expected..."

Even a stranger would feel sorry for Ye Xingning after hearing about her ordeal. Ye Xingning was Xu Bo'an's ideal woman from university, and upon hearing what had happened to her, he felt indignant on her behalf and said, "He did such a despicable thing, he can't be let off easily. This kind of scum needs to be taught a lesson. Is your family's company in Jiangcheng? What's it called? I'll see if I can help you in any way."

Ye Xingning said, "My family owns a supermarket, and Huiwanjia Supermarket is our family's business!"

Xu Bo'an was quite surprised when he heard Ye Xingning's words. He said to Ye Xingning in an incredulous tone, "No way, so Huiwanjia Supermarket is owned by your family!"

Hearing Xu Bo'an say that, Ye Xingning assumed there was something wrong with her supermarket, so she asked Xu Bo'an, "Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

The reason why Xu Bo'an reacted so strongly to Ye Xingning's words was that when Xu Bo'an was studying at university in Jiangcheng, he often went to Huiwanjia Supermarket to shop because the products there were much more cost-effective than those in other places. He vaguely remembered that he thought the name Huiwanjia Supermarket was very fitting.

Seeing Ye Xingning's worried expression, Xu Bo'an quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, don't misunderstand. I meant to say that Huiwanjia Supermarket holds most of my memories in Jiangcheng. The products there are very cost-effective. I often went there to buy things when I was in school. It's truly a conscientious supermarket. So you're the daughter of the owner of Huiwanjia Chain Supermarket. I really didn't expect that!"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's explanation, Ye Xingning relaxed and said, "I see. I thought Huiwanjia Supermarket had a bad impression of you because of your surprised tone earlier!"

Xu Bo'an laughed and said, "No, no, you're overthinking it! But your family owns a chain of supermarkets. If you want to get your business back from Ma Hongyu, wouldn't it be much simpler? If a supermarket wants to make money, it must have major collaborations with many companies. Just cut off the business dealings between other companies and him! Once you've sidelined him, which of the shareholders will listen to him?"

Ye Xingning said, "You're right. I've been busy with these things lately. On one hand, I need to find evidence that he took away the company's shares. On the other hand, I need to persuade the companies that had large-scale cooperation with Huiwanjia Supermarket not to cooperate with Ma Hongyu! But he has worked in our company for many years and has made friends with many important people in our family's name. How easy is it to cut off the companies that cooperated with him before?"

After overhearing Xu Bo'an and Ye Xingning's conversation, Li Dehou, sitting to the side, suddenly remembered that several of his companies had business dealings with Huiwanjia Company. In order to curry favor with Xu Bo'an, he quickly said to Ye Xingning, "Miss Ye, I am the president of Lumia Jewelry. Perhaps I can help you with this!" Although Huiwanjia Supermarket is a chain supermarket and its strength should not be underestimated by ordinary businessmen, it is a provincial chain supermarket and is still far from being as powerful as Li Dehou.

Although Li Dehou and Ye Xingning had already given a brief introduction, they hadn't gone into detail about who he was. Ye Xingning was quite shocked to hear that Li Dehou was actually the president of Lumia Jewelry, because Lumia Jewelry was a very large company, a brand that had become popular in the last two years, and almost every young woman had heard of it.

After hearing Li Dehou's words, Xu Bo'an said to Li Dehou, "Oh? Mr. Li, how do you think we can help in a way that achieves twice the result with half the effort?"

Li Dehou said, “Mr. Xu, your friend is my friend. I will do my best to help. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll call my secretary now and have him temporarily cut off all business dealings with Huiwanjia. Then I’ll inform some of my business friends and have them do the same. This will create the illusion for Mr. Ma Hongyu that Huiwanjia Supermarket is losing money or even about to collapse. Imagine if Ma Hongyu thought it was a mess. If he wanted to get all the shares of the supermarket, he would have to go into debt for millions. He definitely wouldn’t do that. In the end, he would have no choice but to return Huiwanjia Supermarket to its rightful owner.”

After listening to Li Dehou's words, Xu Bo'an looked at Li Dehou and said, "Mr. Li, you truly deserve to be called a business elite. This idea is absolutely brilliant!"

Hearing Xu Bo'an's praise, Li Dehou said happily, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Xu. The person you want to help is the person I want to help. I will make the arrangements right away!"

Li Dehou invited Xu Bo'an to dinner today to thank him for saving his life. Now that Xu Bo'an's friend is in trouble, Li Dehou sees this as an opportunity to show his help and make a good impression on Xu Bo'an.

After saying that, Li Dehou picked up his cell phone from the table, dialed a number, and the call was answered shortly. Li Dehou then said to the person on the other end of the line, "Secretary Hou, I remember that many of our subsidiaries have business dealings with Huiwanjia Supermarket, is that true?"

The person on the other end of the phone said, "Yes! Our company supplies almost all of its daily necessities to Huiwanjia Supermarket!"

Li Dehou said, "I need you to immediately notify all of our subsidiaries to temporarily cancel all cooperation with Huiwanjia Supermarket!"

The person on the other end of the phone said with great difficulty, "But, Chairman Li, if we suddenly cut off the supply, our company will need to find new partners!"

Li Dehou said, "I told you to temporarily block it, so just block it. Why all the nonsense? That's it!"

Upon hearing Li Dehou's somewhat agitated tone, the person on the other end of the phone quickly replied, "Yes, Chairman Li, I'll take care of it right away!"

Li Dehou then hung up the phone and said to Xu Bo'an, "Alright, that guy will definitely receive the relevant information soon!"

Sure enough, before Xu Bo'an and his group could exchange more than a few words, they heard a man's broken roar from the other side of the restaurant: "What? All of Lumia Jewelry Company's businesses have canceled their orders with us? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"What? So many companies are cancelling their orders with us?"

"He's finished. It must be because after everyone saw that Lumia Group canceled its cooperation with us, they saw the wind blowing and did the same thing. Those bastards!"

"What?! Most of the companies in Jiangcheng have canceled their cooperation with us? This is outrageous!"

"Wait for me, I'm coming back right away!"

Then Xu Bo'an and the others saw Ma Hongyu leave the restaurant in a hurry, while the fashionable woman in high heels jogged after him. Because she was wearing high heels, her running was quite comical, which made the diners around them laugh.

After hearing Ma Hongyu's roar, Ye Xingning looked at Li Dehou and was shocked by Li Dehou's strength. Li Dehou had only given a simple instruction to his secretary, and in such a short time, not only had Li Dehou's own company canceled all cooperation with Huiwanjia Company, but other companies had also received the news and immediately terminated their cooperation with Huiwanjia. Such rapid execution was not something that ordinary people could do.

This is enough to show that Li Dehou has a strong influence in Dongjiang; at the very least, many companies regard him as a trendsetter.

Xu Bo'an was also shocked by this amazing execution. At first, after learning that Ye Xingning had encountered such a problem, Xu Bo'an was planning to ask Qu Feifan and those rich second-generation kids for help. If that didn't work, he would ask Zhong Hou. But now, seeing the situation, it seemed that Li Dehou could solve it by himself. There was no need for him to contact Qu Feifan and those rich second-generation kids anymore, let alone ask Zhong Hou for help!

Xu Bo'an gave Li Dehou a thumbs-up and praised, "President Li's influence in Jiangcheng is truly remarkable. To be able to control the life and death of a chain supermarket in such a short time is amazing! Thank you!"

Li Dehou was secretly pleased to hear Xu Bo'an's praise, but he remained humble and said to Xu Bo'an, "Mr. Xu, you're too kind. Your friend is my friend. You saved my whole family's lives, so it's only right that I help you with this small favor!" (End of Chapter)
