Disorder in marriage

Jiang Jin kept apologizing to her, saying it was his mistake.

But to outsiders, everyone just saw her as a desperate and insane first wife.

"Madam, let me take you home."

Yan Zhi was disheartened. "Assistant Jiang, I remember you were Yan Fei's junior from school, right?"

Jiang Jin's expression changed slightly. "Yes."

Yan Zhi sneered, "Then can I ask you for a favor?"

"Please speak, madam."

"When I gave birth, a nurse repeatedly and deliberately provoked me, which led to severe postpartum depression. In my opinion, what this nurse did was tantamount to murder."

She looked at Jiang Jin, who avoided her gaze and lowered his head.

"Could you help me check if she was sent by Yan Fei?"

Jiang Jin looked at the floor, expressionless, and said, "Senior sister would never do such a thing, Madam, you're overthinking it."

"Yeah?"

Jiang Jin remained silent.

"Whether it's her or not, I'll hold her accountable. And as for today's banquet, Assistant Jiang, I don't believe you could make such a basic mistake."

Yan Zhi's gaze was heavy, and Jiang Jin didn't dare to speak or look up.

Yan Zhi didn't make things difficult for him any further. As she walked out of the venue, the mother and son from before approached her.

"Are you Gu Yunmo's wife?"

This title used to make Yan Zhi proud, especially in front of the Yan family.

But now there is only endless humiliation.

"We're getting a divorce."

The woman held her son's hand, and her attitude completely changed.

"I'm sorry about earlier. I've been a bit anxious lately because of finding a divorce lawyer. My son explained it to me, and I didn't realize you were also a victim of those little devils."

Upon hearing the words "divorce lawyer," a glimmer of light appeared in Yan Zhi's eyes.

"Can you hire me? I'm also a lawyer."

The woman had some doubts about Yan Zhi's professional abilities, but she didn't say it too bluntly.

"You're a lawyer? How could you be so abused by your husband and his mistress?"

Yan Zhi felt utterly ashamed. The more infatuated she was with love back then, the more infatuated she was with Gu Yunmo now.

"My child is in his hands, I can't do anything about it."

Yan Zhi wore light makeup, but her complexion still wasn't much better.

Women can empathize deeply; if a person's vital energy and blood are depleted, they are no different from a walking corpse.

"I never imagined Gu Yunmo would be such a bastard, refusing to even give you the child."

Yan Zhi disregarded her grief and seized every opportunity to promote herself.

"So I have to earn money and become independent as soon as possible, otherwise I'll never see my daughter again. Sister, I graduated first in my law school major and passed the bar exam a long time ago..."

"Okay, okay, I'll think about it."

The woman couldn't resist her enthusiasm, so she left Yan Zhi's phone number.

Yan Zhi felt that today's trip wasn't a complete waste, as she had at least developed a potential client.

Since Gu Yunmo's heart wasn't with her anyway, she didn't go home and went straight to play with Xia Linglong.

......

Gu Yunmo carried Ji Shanmei to the sofa in the lounge and was about to leave when Ji Shanmei suddenly hissed.

"President Gu." She looked at Gu Yunmo with teary eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"I think I twisted my ankle, could you take a look?"

The man glanced at her ankles. Her skirt was slit, exposing her thighs, and the edge of her black safety shorts could be vaguely seen below her bent knees.

But Gu Yunmo quickly looked away. "Then just call an ambulance. You don't need to accompany me to the next social event."

After saying that, he hurriedly went outside to find Yan Zhi.

Jiang Jin bumped into him. "Mr. Gu, Madam has already left."

Gu Yunmo really didn't know what Yan Zhi was doing there. She showed up without saying hello, then threw a tantrum, making everyone lose face before leaving.

Did she say anything when she left?

Jiang Jin's Adam's apple bobbed. "Madam didn't say anything, but it seemed like she made a new friend when she left... and they had a very pleasant chat."

"A new friend? Male or female?"

"The woman is Mr. Du's wife."

That woman was a notorious shrew in Beijing. No matter the occasion or the circumstances, she could always embarrass her husband, and when she went crazy, she would even scold her son.

What good can Yan Zhi learn from befriending someone like that?

Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.

Thinking about all the troubles at home, Gu Yunmo was too lazy to care about Yan Zhi anymore.

It was already midnight when the social engagements ended. Gu Yunmo had drunk quite a bit of alcohol and forced himself to stay sober as he returned home.

The lights were off, and the house felt cold. He sat on the sofa with his head tilted back for a few minutes, but the house remained quiet.

Normally, Yan Zhi would have brought him a hangover soup long ago, asking him with concern if he was feeling unwell and scolding him for drinking so much.

He got up, staggered upstairs, and only when he reached Yan Zhi's room did he realize that she wasn't home at all.

No one answered the phone when I called.

He asked Jiang Jin to check Yan Zhi's whereabouts, and soon received a photo of Yan Zhi chatting and clinking glasses with Ling Xiao at a bar.

Gu Yunmo's drunkenness was replaced by a chill as he stared at the photograph as if trying to bore two holes into it.

Yan Zhi was so happy that her eyes crinkled with laughter.

She could still laugh even after her daughter was gone.

For the past few months, he has been relying on sleeping pills to fall asleep!

"Bang!"

The phone was smashed against the wall and shattered instantly.

......

"Xiao Zhi, your phone keeps ringing. Is it Gu Yunmo calling to urge you to come home?"

Yan Zhi picked up her phone, glanced at it, but didn't answer. Her smile vanished instantly.

She came to discuss Madam Du's matter with Ling Xiao and Xia Linglong, and was looking forward to the scene of her standing in court again in the future to defend the rights and interests of her clients.

Seeing the name Gu Yunmo immediately pulled her back into the painful memories she didn't want to recall.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao said, "Xiao Zhi, why don't you go home with Linglong tonight? Staying with Gu Yunmo will only make you more miserable."

Yan Zhi shook her head. "I only see him as my boss now. As long as I think of him that way, I don't care what he says or does."

"Yes! Xiaozhi, that's how you should think! Gu Yunmo dared to buy Yan Fei a house right across from the maternity hospital, so why should you give him a good face? He can drive you crazy, so why can't you drive him crazy?"

"Um."

Yan Zhi finished her juice and prepared to go home. Ling Xiao also hurriedly got up, and was immediately at a loss.

He asked cautiously, "Xiao Zhi, shall I take you home?"

"No need, I'll just take a taxi." Yan Zhi smiled and waved, "Bye-bye."

Even though she wasn't divorced, she still automatically maintained a sense of propriety with men.

When she got home, only Gu Yunmo's room was still lit. As she passed by, the door suddenly opened, and Gu Yunmo, who was reeking of alcohol, dragged her inside.

The door closed, and her back slammed against it.

Gu Yunmo raised his arm and braced himself above her, pinching her chin. "Mrs. Gu, did you have fun with Ling Xiao?"
