After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Xu Bo'an and Ye Xingning left Lin Shan's office and took the elevator down to the first floor. After arriving at the hotel lobby, Xu Bo'an was about to return to Dongjiang. He chatted with Ye Xingning for a few minutes before they each got into their cars.

Since Xu Bo'an's route back to Dongjiang would pass by Ye Xingning's company, the two drove away from the Grand Palace Hotel one after the other.

About twenty minutes later, Ye Xingning arrived at her company building. She honked her horn to greet Xu Bo'an, who was following behind her, and Xu Bo'an honked his horn in response.

After exchanging greetings by honking their horns, Ye Xingning drove towards the company's main entrance.

Just as Ye Xingning turned the corner, someone suddenly rushed out from in front of her car. Ye Xingning quickly slammed on the brakes and stopped the car. Then she saw Ma Hongyu blocking her way. Ye Xingning rolled down her window, ready to yell at Ma Hongyu, but before she could even speak, Ma Hongyu strode aggressively toward her, shouting, "You bitch, you dare mess with me! You're asking for trouble!"

Seeing Ma Hongyu's murderous aura, Ye Xingning felt no fear. After all, this was a society governed by law, and it was broad daylight. Even if Ma Hongyu was bold, he wouldn't dare to do anything out of line to her!
Ye Xingning looked at the aggressive Ma Hongyu and said, "Ma Hongyu, watch your mouth. Who are you calling a bitch?"

Ma Hongyu said to Ye Xingning with a fierce look on his face, "I'm cursing you, so what? You better explain yourself clearly. So many companies suddenly terminated their cooperation with Huiwan Company, was that a setup by you?"

Ye Xingning hated Ma Hongyu to the core. He looked at him and sneered, "Heh, even now you can't see it? Is there any need to ask?"

At this moment, the fashionable woman who had come with Ma Hongyu said to him, "See? I told you this was all done by that scheming woman Ye Xingning, and you didn't believe me!"

Ignoring the fashionable woman beside him, Ma Hongyu, upon hearing Ye Xingning's affirmative answer, slammed his fist into the car and said to Ye Xingning, who was sitting inside, "Ye Xingning, I know your own limitations. You can't possibly convince so many companies to temporarily terminate their cooperation with Huiwanjia Supermarket to deceive me! Tell me, what underhanded tactics did you use!"

Before Ye Xingning could even speak, the fashionable woman beside her quickly interjected, "That must be because that scheming Ye Xingning cheated on you without your knowledge!"

Upon hearing the fashionable woman next to Ma Hongyu's words, Ye Xingning glared at her angrily and said, "You seduced someone else's husband, and you still have the nerve to call her a scheming bitch? What a joke! You'd be more likely to say that to yourself!"

The fashionable woman said, "Hmph, you must have been flirting with other men outside, probably more than one, to have been able to snatch Hongyu's shares back so easily this time. How dare you, a woman with such questionable morals, talk about me? At least I only love Hongyu!"

Ye Xingning was furious after hearing the fashionable woman's disparaging remarks. She said to them, "I'm not going to argue with you two scumbags. Get out of here right now, I'm going back to work!"

After saying that, he was about to start the car when Ma Hongyu grabbed Ye Xingning's hand on the steering wheel and said, "You're not allowed to leave. You have to explain to me clearly what exactly happened today."

After hearing Ma Hongyu's words, Ye Xingning said, "Now that things have come to this, do you think you still need to know about this? I have no obligation or responsibility to explain things to you. Please leave, or I will call security and have you kicked out!"

Ma Hongyu said to Ye Xingning, "Heh, kick me out? You think you can just kick me out today and I won't come back tomorrow? Unless you return the company's shares to me, I'm not done with you!"

Ye Xingning chuckled and looked at Ma Hongyu with a cold expression, saying, "This is a society governed by law. Do you think I'm afraid of you just because you come to me every day? You actually want to take back the company's shares? I advise you to stop daydreaming!"

Ma Hongyu looked at Ye Xingning with disdain and said, "Your parents are in Kyoto right now, and you're all alone in Jiangcheng. Do you think a woman like you can fight against me?"

Just then, the fashionable woman's phone rang, so she went to the side to answer it.

Just as Xu Bo'an saw Ye Xingning drive to the company entrance, he was about to leave when he suddenly saw someone blocking Ye Xingning's way in his rearview mirror. After recognizing that the person was Ma Hongyu, Xu Bo'an was worried that Ma Hongyu would cause trouble for Ye Xingning, so he turned back from another road.

After getting out of the car, Xu Bo'an walked towards Ye Xingning, just passing by the fashionable woman. At that moment, the fashionable woman was on the phone and did not notice Xu Bo'an at all. However, the keen-sense Xu Bo'an had already noticed the fashionable woman and heard her speaking to the person on the other end of the phone in a very ambiguous manner.

Knowing that this fashionable woman was Ma Hongyu's cheating partner, Xu Bo'an sensed that she was unusual and might have been cheating on more than one person. So, Xu Bo'an slowly walked forward while listening intently to the fashionable woman's conversation with the person on the phone.

This confirmed Xu Bo'an's guess. This fashionable woman was quite shrewd and definitely not a simple woman. After roughly understanding what the fashionable woman was talking to on the phone, Xu Bo'an strode towards Ye Xingning.

Ye Xingning was arguing with Ma Hongyu when she saw Xu Bo'an return. She opened the car door and got out, looking at Xu Bo'an with a puzzled expression, and said, "Bo'an, didn't you just leave? Why are you back?"

After hearing Ye Xingning's words, Ma Hongyu turned his head and saw Xu Bo'an standing behind him. He felt that Xu Bo'an looked very familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that Xu Bo'an was the person who had dined with Ye Xingning at that high-end restaurant the day before yesterday.

Xu Bo'an ignored Ma Hongyu and said to Ye Xingning, "I was about to leave, but I saw some trash blocking your way in the rearview mirror. I was worried that the trash might be bad for you, so I turned back." Ye Xingning was very touched by Xu Bo'an's words. Ma Hongyu, who was standing to the side, remembered that Xu Bo'an was the man who had sat next to Ye Xingning at dinner the night before last. Hearing Xu Bo'an's words of concern for Ye Xingning, he guessed that Xu Bo'an might be the one behind Ye Xingning's scheme against him.

Having made this guess, Ma Hongyu looked at Xu Bo'an with a very unfriendly gaze and said, "You care so much about Ye Xingning, could it be that you are the one who helped Ye Xingning steal my shares?"

Xu Bo'an looked at Ma Hongyu and said calmly, "It seems you're not so stupid as to be beyond redemption. You guessed right, that person is me. What are you going to do about it?"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's affirmative answer, Ma Hongyu said to Ye Xingning, "Well, you, Ye Xingning, who always pretends to be gentle and weak, actually did such a despicable thing. You've been cheating on me with some other man behind my back! I was wrong about you! I always thought you were a virtuous wife and loving mother!"

Just then, the fashionable woman finished her phone call and walked over to Ma Hongyu. After hearing what Ma Hongyu had said, she said to him, "I told you your wife wasn't simple. I told you before that Ye Xingning might already be seeing someone else, but you didn't believe me. Luckily, you transferred some money to my account. Otherwise, if this money had remained in Ye Xingning's account, she might have given it to some random guy! Now you finally believe me!"

Ye Xingning was furious to see these two disgusting people making up these baseless stories. She looked at them and said, "You two have been doing dirty tricks behind my back, and you still have the nerve to talk about me like this? It's true that dirty people see everything as dirty!"

Upon hearing Ye Xingning's words, Ma Hongyu felt as if he had been cuckolded without even realizing it, which enraged him. He retorted to Ye Xingning, "Hmph! Dirty? It's perfectly normal for a man to occasionally make a mistake that all men make, but you, a woman, are so unfaithful!"

Hearing Ma Hongyu speak of his infidelity as if it were perfectly justified, Ye Xingning laughed. All these years, she had no idea Ma Hongyu was such a shameless and despicable man. Ye Xingning said to Ma Hongyu, "Oh, so you're saying that while the magistrate can set fires, the common people can't even light lamps? Any man can cheat on his wife, but I, a woman, am just supposed to stay home and live a good life? This is the first time I've ever heard such a bizarre line of thinking!"

At this moment, the fashionable woman standing next to Ma Hongyu intimately took his arm and said to Ye Xingning, "Brother Hongyu is right. Men and women are inherently different. Look at the men of ancient times, which one didn't have three wives and four concubines? But no woman ever had three or four husbands. It's just a normal social phenomenon that men are prone to cheating. What we women need to do is to uphold our virtues! This is just a matter of course!"

Ye Xingning never expected that this fashionable woman would say such a thing. She said to the fashionable woman, "Fine, since you say so, I have nothing more to say. Then I wish your husband will be surrounded by countless beauties!"

The fashionable woman was displeased upon hearing Ye Xingning's words. She stomped her foot angrily and pointed at Ye Xingning, saying, "You..."

After the fashionable woman finished speaking, she pretended to be coquettish and said to Ma Hongyu, "Brother Hongyu, look at her like that! She actually said such nasty things to someone. You're going to be my husband in the future. I can understand if you occasionally cheat on me, but I certainly won't be like her. She only allows herself to seduce men outside, but she won't allow you to have an affair. She's so petty!"

While Ma Hongyu allows himself to have affairs, he would never accept his wife cheating on him, as it would be a great humiliation for him. In this sense, Ma Hongyu is someone who, while allowing himself to act recklessly, also possesses the "good qualities" of a traditional man.

Ma Hongyu looked at Ye Xingning and said, "Tell me when you started hooking up with this wild man?"

Seeing Ma Hongyu and the fashionable woman framing her like this, Ye Xingning decided to go all the way and directly took Xu Bo'an's arm, saying to Ma Hongyu, "Since you say so, I won't hide it from you anymore. We've been together for a long time. What are you going to do about it!"

Xu Bo'an was stunned by Ye Xingning's sudden action and just stood there letting Ye Xingning pull his arm.

Upon hearing Ye Xingning's words, Ma Hongyu was so angry that his eyes almost popped out. He looked at Ye Xingning and said, "You, you've gone too far!"

Ye Xingning looked at Ma Hongyu and said irritably, "Alright, you've figured this out. You can leave now. You're not welcome here!"

The fashionable woman said to Ma Hongyu, "Since Ye Xingning has now admitted that she has been cheating on you for a long time, if you get a divorce, the law will be on your side, and you will get more property!"

Upon hearing the fashionable woman's words, Ma Hongyu realized that his purpose in coming here today was to settle accounts with Ye Xingning. He couldn't let her fool him like this. Ma Hongyu looked at Ye Xingning and said, "Not only did you cheat on me first, but you also colluded with a man to take away all my shares. You have to give me an explanation, or I won't leave! Either give me money or give me the shares, you decide!"

Ye Xingning looked at Ma Hongyu and said, "That's absolutely impossible!"

The fashionable woman said to Ye Xingning, "Why is it impossible? You cheated on him first, so Hongyu is the one who was hurt and should be compensated!"

Xu Bo'an had overheard the entire conversation of the fashionable woman on the phone. He knew that she was of questionable character and that she was only trying to swindle more money from Ma Hongyu by constantly stirring things up. Xu Bo'an was not about to let her succeed.

Before Ye Xingning could speak, Xu Bo'an said to the fashionable woman, "I've disliked you for a long time. Stop pretending. Ma Hongyu can't see through you because he's already infatuated with you, but don't think we can't see through your little tricks. You're just whispering in Ma Hongyu's ear so he can get more benefits from Xingning, and then you can swindle money from him, right?" (End of Chapter)
