After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 258

Pei Yong waited for half a day, but did not see Wang Yue come over. He had originally thought that if he did not see her come over in the afternoon, he would go to her unit to find her. He must get this matter settled today.

But he did not expect that after lunch, Wang Yue came over.

She had red eyes and looked haggard, as if she had just cried hard.

Pei Yong lowered his eyes, not daring to meet her gaze, "Have you made up your mind?"

Wang Yue glanced at him, then turned her gaze away to look at Old Pei, "Dad also agrees that he should divorce me?"

She had originally thought that given her hard work over the years, and with two children in between, Old Pei should at least try to stop him.

But after hearing what her daughter said when she returned home yesterday, with no one in the family trying to persuade them, on the contrary everyone was looking forward to their divorce, she was truly disappointed.

There was also her dear son whom she had cherished from a young age, but he was the one who hurt her the most. She had cherished him in vain till he grew up.

Faced with Wang Yue's questioning, Old Pei sighed, "I know you are blaming us, but you have to think for yourself, if you hadn't pressed him too hard, how could things have come to this?"

As someone from the older generation, what he least wanted to see was problems in his children's marriages.

But seeing his eldest son looking exhausted physically and mentally, he actually hoped that he would rather be liberated.

"I know what you mean. But I never thought that after living together for so many years, I would leave you with such an impression - that I pressed him too hard? Huh!" She was once an innocent girl. But her family was destroyed overnight, leaving her alone not knowing where to go or what to do. What else could she do?

And after getting married, seeing him get along happily with his old flame while everyone around was saying that she broke them up, that she was not good enough for him, if not for that, how could she have forced him away?

Moreover, she did not mean for the incident where the military convoy was ambushed on the way, causing her death. She just simply wanted that woman to leave.

It was precisely because she felt insecure that she wanted to grasp him tightly, to have control over him.

Also because at that time, he was the only one she could rely on.

Brushing those thoughts aside, Wang Yue wiped her tears and spoke about what she had considered overnight.

"Pei Yong, I can agree to divorce you, but I have one condition. If you agree, we'll divorce. If you don't agree, we'll continue torturing each other. Anyway, you won't get rid of me for the rest of your life." She didn't think she was asking too much, because he owed her this.

"You say it." Pei Yong only gave a light two words. Things had already reached this point. No matter what she wanted, even if it was his life, he would give it to her without hesitation, just to seek liberation.

"Dad is also here today. So I'll just state my requirements outright." Wang Yue glared at him resentfully. "After our divorce, you cannot marry another woman. And you'll share responsibility for the two children. No matter if it's their marriage or other expenses in the future, you'll be responsible."

This would be equivalent to neutralizing Pei Yong.

He would not be allowed to remarry. His future allowance would also have to be given to the two children. It would be no different from now. The only thing that could be different was that their husband and wife relationship would cease to exist.

Wang Yue had also thought it through carefully. Anyway he only came back once every few years now. With or without this person did not make much difference.

She thought Pei Yong would at least consider it for a while, but unexpectedly, he did not even hesitate for a moment before nodding his head, "I agree."

"You ..." Wang Yue could not tell if she was happy or not, because she felt even more angry.

When she left, she was still wondering why Pei Yong was so bothered.

With or without a divorce, was there a difference in the name only?

But she did not know that for Pei Yong, there naturally was.

Without a divorce, she would be the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, and she could make trouble for the entire Pei family with this status and they would have no peace.

But with a divorce, she would only be his ex-wife, mother of his children, no longer the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, and would have no reason to go bother Old Pei. It would solve the problem once and for all.

At dusk, the red clouds filled the sky.

Zhi Xia sent off the dragon and phoenix twins at the door. Old Pei was also reluctant to stand aside to see Pei Jing and Pei Yong leave together.

The two children had matured. Faced with separation, they no longer made a fuss like before.

Life settled down again.

It took more than a month before a reply came from the Immortal Cultivation World.

Only then did Zhi Xia know that it was not because the other party was aloof. On the contrary, Old Prankster from the Immortal Cultivation World had a humorous and amiable personality, like a child who had never grown up, gluttonous and fond of wine. It was just that he was often in secluded meditation, so it was very normal not to get in touch for years.

She had thought that after giving Pei Jing access rights to the space, they could at least reunite there.

But she did not expect that he would be so busy that he did not even have time to eat or sleep, and had only seen him twice in the space in a month, each time coming and going in a hurry.

Tomorrow would be Old Master's 70th birthday. Although they did not plan a grand celebration, it was still necessary for the family to get together.

Zhi Xia had specifically asked Old Prankster from the Immortal Cultivation World for a jar of osmanthus honey wine. She had originally thought that she did not have any good stuff on her side. Even with her friend's help, it would probably still be difficult to get in tune with others.

But she did not expect the Old Immortal to be very easy to get along with. He treated her more like a junior. Occasionally when free, he would chat with her about daily life. He was also very interested in watching TV series.

Zhi Xia deliberately curried favor by asking the aquaculture tycoon to help her download some fantasy dramas for him. She did not expect that he would really like them so much that he regretted having only known about cultivation all his life without having had a nice romance when he was young.

Zhi Xia went to the living room to fetch two empty wine bottles left unused in the house and poured the osmanthus honey wine into them.

The aroma of this spiritual wine was really good. Just smelling it, one felt a little tipsy, but the mind remained exceptionally clear, invigorating.

Suddenly, Zhi Xia thought that although the Old Immortal said mortals could consume this wine, after all it was something from the Immortal Cultivation World. If the potency was too strong, it might cause suspicion.

She thought about it and decided to drink a sip herself first to get a sense of it.

She did not dare to drink much, just really one sip to taste it.

Compared to the white liquor Old Master usually drank, the taste of this was obviously much milder. And after drinking it, her whole body felt warm and comfortable.

When she came out of the space, Sister Zhang knocked on the door and came in from outside. At a glance, she saw Zhi Xia's flushed red cheeks.

She was stunned for a moment, and reached out to check her forehead, "Zhi Xia, why is your face a little red? Could it be a fever?"

Zhi Xia dodged guiltily, "No, maybe the weather is a bit too hot and it’s too stuffy inside."

Sister Zhang thought that since Pei Jing left, apart from occasionally going next door to see Old Master and Old Madam, she had hardly gone out, staying at home all day. It was possible she felt suffocated.

"Zhi Xia, you don't have to stay at home every day. If you want to go out, just let me know. With me at home watching over, how could you not feel at ease?" Sister Zhang said caringly.

"How could it be about not feeling at ease? On the contrary, I feel too at ease." Zhi Xia looked at Sister Zhang gratefully. "You also know that I just don't like going out very much. Being at home alone not knowing where to go, I might as well stay at home."

"Well, just don't stand on ceremony with me." Sister Zhang was afraid that she was young and shy, and would feel embarrassed about some matters.

Speaking of An ZhiAng’s side, he had already received the package Zhi Xia sent over half a month ago.
