He Xiuyuan picked up a stone and, taking advantage of the bodyguard's inattention, hurled it hard at his wrist.
The bodyguard cried out in pain, and the dagger clattered to the ground.
He Xiuyuan stepped forward and kicked the bodyguard furiously.
The bodyguard fought with him for a few rounds but was ultimately defeated by He Xiuyuan.
He Xiuyuan wanted to call the police.
Su Yu'er threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably, "Brother, don't call the police. I owe Miss Wan. This time, just consider it as me repaying her."
Looking at Su Yu'er, bruised and battered with blood streaming from the corner of her mouth, a dense, dark fury flashed in He Xiuyuan's eyes.
Wan Yu had gone too far!
"I'm sorry, Yu'er. It's all my indecisiveness that has hurt you."
Su Yu'er shook her head, her vision blurred by tears, her expression full of misery and pitifulness. "It's not your fault. It's my lowly, humble status that fails to win your family's affection. But no one loves you more than I do. For you, I'm willing to do anything. Even if Miss Wan wants me dead, I can accept it."
"If I die, maybe I won't have to endure the pain and torment of loving you but not being able to be with you anymore. Brother, sometimes I really want to be free—"
Su Yu'er trembled incessantly in He Xiuyuan's embrace, like someone about to die at any moment.
He Xiuyuan's heart felt as if it were being tightly clenched by an invisible hand.
Su Yu'er was an orphan, with no father or mother, growing up like a tough weed since childhood.
She wasn't like Wan Yu, who had the love of family and an older brother; even his parents treated Wan Yu as their own daughter.
Compared to Wan Yu, Su Yu'er was truly too pitiful.
Wan Yu could live without him.
But Yu'er... seemed she could not.
If Wan Yu dared to have Yu'er kidnapped this time, then next time, she would surely do something even more vicious and terrifying.
Wan Yu had become utterly unrecognizable!
He Xiuyuan closed his bloodshot eyes and gritted his teeth hard.
In his heart, he had already made a decision.
"Yu'er, I won't let you suffer grievances and harm anymore. I'm calling Wan Yu right now. I want a divorce!"
Even if his family disagreed, he would no longer compromise for the sake of peace.
He was now in charge of He's Media, and Su Yu'er was a famous female singer in the domestic entertainment industry. Together, they would develop the company even better!
After He Xiuyuan's phone was hacked and controlled by Si Moyan, when he now called Wan Yu, Wen Yan nodded to Si Moyan, indicating that He Xiuyuan could be allowed to speak with Wan Yu.
After He Xiuyuan got through, he spoke with a livid face, "Wan Yu, didn't you want a divorce? Bring your documents. We'll meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau in one hour!"
Netizens watching the live stream were nearly splitting apart.
—Holy crap! This is even more dramatic and absurd than a TV series! In this world, can the other woman be so brazen, shameless, bottomless, and immoral?
—If I hadn't seen the live stream, I simply wouldn't have believed Su Yu'er could be such a shameless bitch!
—I'm so angry I want to spew filth. The wife must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to marry such a stupid human who only thinks with his lower half!
—Passing by to spit (pure malice)!
—Damn, I really want to follow the internet cable and beat up that scumbag and that cheap woman!
—Reporter Wang is amazing, thumbs up for you. You deserve to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple after you die.
Reporter Wang: Dear netizen, thank you for saying that, but I don't really want that honor for the next few decades.
Su Yu'er's fans, after the initial shock and disbelief, were still desperately trying to whitewash her.
—Don't judge without knowing the full picture.
—Our sister might be filming a drama. Reporter Wang's sneak filming and live streaming are violations. Let's quickly go report Reporter Wang's live stream room.
—Yu'er is absolutely not that kind of scheming person. She couldn't possibly knowingly be the other woman. There must be some misunderstanding.
While Su's fans anxiously explained and defended, this completely ignited the sense of justice and fury of other netizens and bystanders.
—Are Su Yu'er's fans brain-damaged? Orchestrating a kidnapping show, framing the wife, winning the scumbag's sympathy, using green tea tactics to make the scumbag propose divorce to the wife... Do Su's fans think we're all blind?
—Fans reflect their idol. Su Yu'er acts like a bitch but wants to erect a memorial archway (play the saint). What good can her fans be?
Although a portion of Su's fans were still desperately defending their idol, a group of clear-headed fans had already begun to withdraw their support and turn against her.
After all, knowingly being the other woman, framing the wife, having no moral bottom line, and being utterly shocking to one's moral sensibilities—if they didn't write long posts to thoroughly condemn this behavior, it would be unworthy of the affection and effort they once gave her!
Su Yu'er's agent, seeing the trending searches online and the small essays popping up like bamboo shoots after rain, felt her mind go blank and dizzy.
It's over, it's really over!
Why couldn't she get through to either the boss's or Su Yu'er's phone?
Right, they were about to head to the Civil Affairs Bureau. She would go block them there!
Not only the agent, but other media outlets in the capital had also long since staked out inconspicuous spots outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Si Jingyi made a point of arriving early and organized things in a planned manner.
Interviews were allowed, but only after He Xiuyuan and Wan Yu finished their divorce.
After all, the wife was too pitiful!
When Wan Yu received He Xiuyuan's call, she and her family were watching the live stream on the TV in the living room.
They had witnessed Su Yu'er's series of malicious and underhanded actions.
Wan's father, Wan's mother, and Wan Jin were furious.
"Su Yu'er is truly vicious and formidable. She even managed to bribe our Wan family's bodyguard!"
If it weren't for that Reporter Wang secretly live streaming, Wan Yu would still be bearing the charge of kidnapping.
Just thinking about it made their backs run cold.
How can a person's heart be so evil?
Wan Yu watched He Xiuyuan carry Su Yu'er into the car. The initial shock and stinging pain she had felt gradually turned into coldness and cynicism.
Perhaps after being hurt and slandered too many times, she now felt somewhat numb.
For a man like He Xiuyuan, whose eyes seemed to have been eaten by a dog, she now only wanted to stay away and draw a clear line.
"Mom, Dad, brother, I'm going to the Civil Affairs Bureau now!"
Wan's parents immediately handed Wan Yu the marriage certificate and household register.
Wan Yu was relieved that, after getting married, she had not transferred her household registration to the He family.
On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Wan Yu called Wen Yan.
"Yanyan, it was you who helped me again, wasn't it?"
After completely giving up on He Xiuyuan, Wan Yu's mind had also cleared up a bit.
If Wen Yan hadn't done something, He Xiuyuan and Su Yu'er wouldn't have been able to make such fools of themselves; someone would have surely reminded them in time.
But their phones had never rung.
Clearly, someone was controlling all of this.
Sister Wan Yu, congratulations! You're about to start a new life!
After Wan Yu arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, she didn't wait long before He Xiuyuan showed up.
When He Xiuyuan saw Wan Yu, his face was covered in a layer of frost, and his eyes seemed to want to devour her entirely.
If Su Yu'er hadn't desperately begged him, he would have definitely called the police to teach her a lesson!
Having a bodyguard kidnap Yu'er and even trying to slash her face—was she even human?
"Wan Yu, the biggest regret of my life is marrying you."
Wan Yu let out a cold laugh. "The feeling is mutual. The biggest regret of my life is marrying a beast who's not even as good as a dog!"
