Rebirth: Divorcing the Billionaire
Chapter 108: Punishment Descends

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Punishment Descends

"You’re always warning me not to bother Jiang Qimeng. Haven’t you ever thought that I’m just protecting myself?" Jian Xi continued to rub salt into Si Yuhuan’s wounds, her voice filled with grievance.

It seems he isn’t head over heels in love with Jiang Qimeng after all; there’s a touch of rationality to him.

Si Yuhuan’s handsome face darkened, and he was unable to utter a single word.

DING-DONG.

The doorbell rang.

Chu Xiao had arrived.

"TSK TSK, it looks like you have guests at home. I’ve come at a bad time, haven’t I?"

Si Yuhuan’s dark eyes narrowed. "Who are you calling a guest?"

Chu Xiao spread his hands. "If a young lady lives alone and you come over as a visitor, aren’t you a guest?"

Si Yuhuan’s face stiffened, and his eyes, burning with flames of anger, looked as if they wanted to devour him.

Chu Xiao, seemingly oblivious to the tension, took a seat between them. "Jian Xi, we agreed to meet CEO Liu today. You can’t stand him up."

"Alright," she said. "I’ll be right there after I change my clothes."

Si Yuhuan seethed with anger. How dare they flirt right under his nose!

"Chu Xiao, you’re playing with fire," Si Yuhuan warned.

Chu Xiao chuckled softly. "Director Si, it seems you haven’t grasped the situation. The chip developed by Haohan Group needs our Silicon Crystal to reach its highest development potential. Are you sure you want to speak to me like this? You risk me not supplying you with even a speck of Silicon Crystal."

Since last month, the Chu Family had resumed supplying Silicon Crystal to Haohan Group, but only in small amounts.

As a result, the cost of chip manufacturing remained high, causing prices to skyrocket and making some markets difficult to penetrate.

Si Yuhuan had recently been trapped by this problem, which gave Chu Xiao the audacity and leverage he was displaying.

BANG!

Chu Xiao hadn’t expected Si Yuhuan to actually hit him.

When Jian Xi came downstairs in different clothes and saw this, she hurried over to protect Chu Xiao. "Si Yuhuan! You’re hitting people! You’re being completely unreasonable!"

Am I unreasonable? Si Yuhuan thought. I’ve been holding back for a long time.

Chu Xiao tugged at Jian Xi’s sleeve, looking pitiful. "Sister, he’s hitting people. How did you get involved with such a violent and irritable man, and even marry him? You should divorce him soon."

"You’re courting death!" Si Yuhuan moved to hit him again but was firmly held back by Jian Xi.

Worried about harming the child in her womb, she roared, "Shut your mouth!"

Si Yuhuan was furious. "You’re still protecting this bastard?"

They were maligning him to his face and trying to steal his woman; Si Yuhuan truly wanted to tear Chu Xiao limb from limb.

Jian Xi had a headache. Only Chu Xiao, who was never afraid of stirring up trouble, would dare to provoke Si Yuhuan with his self-important nature.

"You leave first," she urged, pushing Chu Xiao.

"But CEO Liu..."

"I’ll be there in a bit," Jian Xi said, utterly frustrated.

Chu Xiao reluctantly left, whining as he went.

Si Yuhuan threw a glass at him. Chu Xiao yelped and ran faster than a rabbit.

To say he wasn’t afraid of Si Yuhuan was a lie, and indeed, he had angered him. But he couldn’t keep losing face in front of Jian Xi over and over, could he?

I’m a man too!

Chu Xiao patted his chest, still shaken. "Sister, this is do or die! I’ve shown my loyalty."

"Si Yuhuan!" Jian Xi exclaimed, furious, her temples throbbing with pain from the morning’s chaos. "Enough is enough! Get out now."

The man surged forward, taking her hand. "Is this how you go behind my back, flirting around with other men?"

"If you’re so disgusted by me flirting around, why don’t you divorce me?" Jian Xi replied calmly, in contrast to his rage. "Si Yuhuan, if I were you, I’d get a divorce right away and marry Jiang Qimeng. Everyone would be happy then."

She dares to say such things! Correct content is on NovelFire)

She actually can’t wait to divorce me!

Everything she’s done recently was all for the divorce!

Si Yuhuan’s eyes blazed with fury.

Jian Xi touched her stomach and blurted out, "I haven’t loved you for a long time. Sooner or later, I’ll cheat on you."

I originally planned to slowly devour Haohan Group, but now with the babies on the way, I have to speed up the divorce. All those things I did to infuriate Si Yuhuan recently... it was all for today.

"Good, very good," Si Yuhuan laughed angrily as he pointed at Jian Xi. "You’ve got guts."

"I’ve confiscated Yaowang," Si Yuhuan stated coldly. "From now on, you will return to the old family house. I won’t pursue what’s past. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite." His real anger exuded an overbearing aura that was suffocating.

Following his command, Jian Xi was quickly subdued by the black-suited bodyguards who rushed in.

Aunt Zhang was terrified.

Jian Xi was escorted to the car and taken back to the old family house.

She didn’t dare struggle desperately, afraid of harming the babies. "Si Yuhuan, you bastard! If you dare treat me like this, I will make you regret it!"

Si Yuhuan gazed at her, clenching his fists tightly.

"Take her away."

Yan Qing stood by. "Boss, if you do this, the madam is going to hate you."

"She doesn’t realize how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. She’s forgotten how she got to where she is today! It’s time she learned her lesson."

Yan Qing secretly wiped sweat from his brow. With the boss’s temper, he’s definitely in for a fiery chase to win his wife back later, he thought. NovelFire)

The Yaowang Brand suddenly ceased all activities; even scheduled exhibitions were postponed.

Wan Yu couldn’t get in touch with Jian Xi. At Fuyuan Official Residence, only Aunt Zhang remained.

Jiang Qimeng was delighted.

Du Mingrui called and couldn’t help but flatter her, "To think you’ve turned a hopeless situation around! Si Yuhuan truly still has you in his heart."

"That’s natural. After all, the affection of childhood sweethearts is something he won’t forget. What’s more, if I hadn’t saved him, he would have lost his life long ago."

Du Mingrui was slightly shocked. "Really? That happened?"

Jiang Qimeng suddenly covered her mouth, realizing she had said too much.

"Enough. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. Just do your duty. Heaven is helping both of us."

The door to the hospital room opened, and Si Junyan walked in with a fruit basket.

Jiang Qimeng hurriedly hung up the phone.

Seeing Si Junyan made her very happy.

"Junyan, I haven’t seen you for several days."

Since the incident at the last banquet, she had felt Si Junyan distancing himself. This made Jiang Qimeng anxious, so she had purposely come to the hospital this time, hoping to win back his heart.

Si Junyan put down the fruit basket and, after much hesitation, couldn’t help but ask, "Qimeng, did you really buy the musical score *from* Jian Xi?"

He was cleaning up the mess from the Phoenix Gala incident. Reading the widespread online analyses, he couldn’t help but have his doubts.

Jiang Qimeng’s heart skipped a beat. She managed an unnatural smile. "Of course, I composed it myself. How could I have bought it? Did you hear some rumors?"

Si Junyan thought about what Wan Yu had said when she cornered him downstairs.

"Si Junyan, you’re such a fool! If she really had creative talent, would she content herself with being a top online celebrity? Jiang Qimeng is playing you like a fiddle, and you’re still acting like her lapdog! Behaving like such a pig-headed man—no wonder she doesn’t like you!"

Furious, Si Junyan had security throw her out.

But those words, like a thorn, embedded deeply in his heart, hurting him immensely.

"It’s nothing. I was just asking casually."

Jiang Qimeng forced a smile. "I know, there’s all sorts of talk out there. Jian Xi is indeed formidable; I’m no match for her."

"Don’t talk like that, Qimeng. You still have me," Si Junyan immediately said to comfort her.

He couldn’t bear to see her looking so pitiful and self-pitying.

Jiang Qimeng secretly curved her red lips with pride.
