After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

Faced with the old lady's stern reprimand, Shen Qinghan not only did not admit her mistake, but also felt wronged and irritated.

"Grandma! Did Jiang Ye come to you to complain again?!"

Shen Qinghan bit her lip and retorted loudly, "He didn't even come to work today, deliberately delaying my meeting, and now he comes here to gossip! He's just a narrow-minded man!"

"And why is Zimo an outsider? He's a department manager at Shen's Group now, my right-hand man! Many important business partners are here today because of Zimo. Unlike Jiang Ye? What can he do besides drive? And now, he's even quitting his job as a driver!"

Hearing Shen Qinghan's words belittling Jiang Ye, Zhao Yulan trembled with anger.

"You...you're absolutely incompetent!"

The old lady pointed at Shen Qinghan's nose, and angrily scolded, "Do you really think Jiang Ye is just a good-for-nothing who can drive? I've lived for seventy years, and I've never misjudged people! I've always thought that Jiang Ye was sensible, composed, and had an exceptional way of speaking. If it weren't for repaying your grandfather's kindness back then, why would he come to our Shen family to suffer this humiliation?!"

"It's you! It's you, you ungrateful girl, who insisted on making him a lousy driver, ruining his promising future! And now you're looking down on him? What is Gu Ziming? A mercenary gigolo, does he even deserve to be compared to Jiang Ye?!"

"Grandma! How could you say that about Zimo!"

Shen Qinghan also got anxious and continued to argue, "Zi Mo is a returnee from a prestigious university, he's educated and capable. You're just being biased, you've been fooled by Jiang Ye's honest and simple appearance!"

"You...you unfilial grandson!"

Zhao Yulan was so angry with Shen Qinghan that her chest heaved violently, and she coughed suddenly. She raised the dragon-headed cane in her hand, as if to hit Shen Qinghan's buttocks.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson today, you arrogant brat!"

Shen Qinghan was startled and quickly backed away.

Just then, the door to the side hall was pushed open.

Shen Qinghan's father, Shen Zhennan, and mother, Ou Yuqin, rushed in upon hearing the commotion.

"Mom! Mom! Calm down, don't get angry!"

Shen Zhennan quickly stepped forward to help the old lady, while Ou Yuqin pulled Shen Qinghan behind her to protect her.

"Mom, today is your big birthday. There are so many guests watching outside. What if you get upset and hurt yourself?" Shen Zhennan comforted the old lady while trying to calm her down.

Ou Yuqin chimed in, "Yes, Mom, Qinghan is just stubborn. Please don't take it to heart."

Shen Zhennan turned his head and scolded his daughter with a stern face: "Although Jiang Ye is not very promising, he has worked hard at home for the past two years and has always been obedient to you. Today, on an occasion like this, you took Gu Ziming to show off in front of everyone and left Jiang Ye out in the cold. It is really too outrageous."

Ou Yuqin sighed as well: "Qinghan, Jiang Ye is still your husband in name only. Even if you don't like him, you have to put on a good show. Go outside and see if Jiang Ye has come in yet, and tell him to come in quickly."

Shen Qinghan hid behind her parents, listening to them also start to defend Jiang Ye, and the frustration in her heart was about to explode.

She just couldn't understand what kind of spell Jiang Ye had cast on her family, that everyone was speaking up for him.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing!"

Seeing that the old lady's expression had softened slightly, Shen Zhennan quickly smoothed things over: "Mom, today is a joyous occasion, let's not talk about these unhappy things. All the guests have arrived, and the birthday celebration is about to begin. Everyone is waiting for you to go out and take charge."

Zhao Yulan glared fiercely at Shen Qinghan and snorted coldly, "I'll settle accounts with you after the birthday banquet! Go and bring Jiang Ye back to me!"

After saying that, the old lady, supported by Shen Zhennan, stormed out of the side hall.

Only Shen Qinghan and Ou Yuqin remained in the side hall.

At this moment, Shen Qinghan's younger sister, Shen Yinyin, walked in, swaying her slender waist.

"Sis, are you alright? Did Grandma hit you?" Shen Yinyin came over and asked with a gossipy look on her face.

"It's nothing," Shen Qinghan said, rubbing his aching temples, his mind in turmoil.

"I knew it! It must be that good-for-nothing Jiang Ye, taking advantage of Grandma's affection for him, going around trying to sow discord between Grandma and Mom and Dad again!"

Shen Yinyin pursed her lips and added fuel to the fire, saying, "I really don't know what Grandma and the others are thinking, insisting on protecting that penniless bastard. Sister, I think you should just quit being with Jiang Ye and divorce him!"

Upon hearing the word "divorce," Shen Qinghan's heart skipped a beat.

"Look at Gu Ziming! He's handsome, educated, and incredibly capable at work. He's even a department manager at our company now. Most importantly, he's so good to Xinyu. Xinyu calls him 'Daddy Ziming' so affectionately. He's a hundred times better than that good-for-nothing Jiang Ye who can only drive!"

Shen Yinyin got more and more excited as she spoke: "Sister, you should quickly divorce Jiang Ye and get together with Brother Zimo. Wouldn't the three of you be so happy then!"

Hearing her sister's words, Shen Qinghan felt not happy, but rather had a headache.

divorce?

She and Jiang Ye got their divorce certificate yesterday!

She had been worried about how to explain the divorce to her grandmother and parents if Jiang Ye didn't show up at the birthday banquet. Now, things were different. Although Jiang Ye was there, her grandmother's attitude was so firm, and even her parents were starting to side with Jiang Ye.

If they knew that she not only forced Jiang Ye to leave with nothing and get a divorce, but also brought Gu Ziming home, Grandma would definitely have a stroke on the spot!

"Alright! Stop talking!"

Shen Qinghan interrupted Shen Yinyin irritably, his face pale: "Don't interrupt adults' affairs! Hurry up and go to the main hall, the birthday celebration is about to begin!"

After saying that, Shen Qinghan took a deep breath, tried to calm her flustered mood, and walked towards the hall outside in her high heels.

All she could do now was pray that Jiang Ye would cooperate with her and finish the charade for her grandmother's sake, and that he wouldn't cause any trouble at the birthday banquet.

As for the divorce... we can only wait until after the birthday banquet, when Grandma is in a better mood, and then slowly find an opportunity to confess.
