  "Good son, just listen to your mother's words... What's wrong with Bai Jie? Mom has seen her grow up, this child is smart and capable, more importantly, she really loves you..." Zhang Mei began to persuade Xu Shao Yan again, "You go to the White family tomorrow, apologize to your Uncle White and them..."

  "Go to the White's house?" Xǔ Shǎoyàn coldly smiled, discontentedly glanced at his mother and said, "Fine! I originally planned on going to the White's house anyway—to break off the engagement with Bái Jié!"

  "You! How dare you?!" Zhang Mei's hands were shaking with rage as she glared at Xu Shao Yan, shouting loudly, "Unless I'm dead, you'll never get to divorce Bai Jie!"

  "This life, except for Cheng Zhiyi, I won't marry anyone else!" Xu Shaoyan's temper also came up, and he wanted to go against his mother to the end, saying fearlessly, "Unless I die, otherwise, I will absolutely not marry Bai Jie!"

  "You..." Zhang Wei was both sad and angry, her face pale with rage, her whole body trembling slightly. However, Xu Shaoyan ignored his mother's pain, standing calmly in front of Zhang Wei, solemnly declaring: "I must divorce Bai Jie!"

  After finishing speaking, Xu Shaoyan turned around and walked towards the door.

  He... actually treated her like that? He is the son she carried in her womb for ten months, raised with great difficulty and hardship, the most beloved person to her. How could he treat her like this? All because of a woman... He actually had the heart to hurt his own mother? Indeed, indeed, it's true that 'like father, like son'... This unfilial son is just as ruthless as his father!

  Zhang Wei slumped on the sofa, listlessly watching her son walk away with a firm step, her heart like a knife cut, tears streaming down.

  As he walked to the door, Xu Shaoyan gently opened it, but saw Bai Jie standing quietly at the door, as if frozen stiff by a thousand years of cold, her eyes gloomy and icy. She raised her head, looking at Xu Shaoyan with tear-filled eyes, and said bitterly: "How can you treat me like this?"

  All these years, she has paid so much for Xu Shaoyan, silently enduring the hardships, just waiting for the day when Xu Shaoyan can return with a smile from among the flowers. Then, she will marry him wholeheartedly. Even if she knows that Xu Shaoyan is a ladies' man, even if she knows that there are many beauties around him, and even if she knows that he doesn't love her, she won't complain at all - as long as the one he marries in the end is her!

  She was like a diligent old farmer, conscientiously guarding her own one mu and three fen of land (Xu Shao Yan), tirelessly driving away the birds that stole food, just waiting for the autumn harvest. Who would have thought that now she would end up in a situation where she was jilted?

  All along, Xu Shaoyan has been frequently changing women one after another, but they were all just playing games. He never quarreled with his mother for those women, never said he wanted to marry them, and would not divorce her for their sake. But now, for that Cheng Ziyue, he is willing to do anything!

  She is a woman with status, dignity and ability, how can she tolerate herself becoming a pawn that can be summoned at will? How can she tolerate being treated this way by others? Does Xu Shaoyan want to divorce her? No way!

  Xu Shaoyan glanced at Bai Jie, who was on the verge of tears, with a cold gaze. A hint of a cold smile played on his lips as he said indifferently, "What's the point of this? We grew up together, even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be like siblings. Isn't it better to part ways amicably? Why make things so complicated?"

  "So, is everything my fault?" Under the dim courtyard lamp, Bai Jie's eyes were filled with tears as she said sorrowfully and angrily, "Xu Shaoyan, was it me who messed things up? Who is to blame for all of this?"

  "Hmph!" Looking at Bai Jie's tears, Xu Shao Yan didn't feel a shred of heartache, but instead felt disgusted and said impatiently, "You're not unaware that I never loved you in the first place!"

  "I know you don't love me, but I love you, and that's enough!" Was it because of this that she had to humbly and painfully persuade him to stay, had to tightly grasp his hand and not let go, and had to endure even more suffering?

  As soon as she thought of this, Bai Jie suddenly became even more grief-stricken, tears pouring down her face, the sorrow and pain in her eyes spreading out, causing a flash of self-blame to cross Xu Shao Yan's heart. However, no matter what, that fleeting good intention was sympathy, not love - he absolutely could not be soft-hearted!

  "Suit yourself!" Xǔ Shǎoyàn said impatiently. "Anyway, I won't marry you! Do whatever you want!"

  "Son, apologize to Bai Jie!" Hearing Bai Jie's voice, Cheng Mama quickly walked to the door and mediated, "She didn't do anything wrong, how can you hit her?"

  "Hum! What has she done, can't you see?! Speaking of Bai Jie's harm to Cheng Zhiyi, Xu Shao Yan's anger that had just been suppressed flared up again, and he couldn't help but roar at his mother, "She clearly knows that Zhiyi is the woman I love most, yet she still did that, isn't it obvious that it was intentional?!"

  Then, Xu Shaoyan turned his head around and looked at Bai Jie with an extremely contemptuous gaze, saying with a face full of disdain: "Do you think that by doing this, you can make Ji Yi uncomfortable? In the midst of a crowd, what you're doing is losing your own face! You can hurt me, after all, I... owe you. But if you dare to hurt even half a strand of Cheng Jiy's hair, I—will absolutely not let you off!"

  After finishing speaking, Xu Shaoyan turned around and walked towards the iron gate of the courtyard without looking back, no longer wanting to bother with these two women who annoyed him.

  "Xu Shaoyan!" His mother's stern rebuke came from behind, "Stand right there... If you dare to step out of that iron gate, I'll cut off our mother-son relationship!"

  Xu Shaoyan stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at his mother, ignoring the anger in her eyes, and said nonchalantly: "Ms. Zhang Mei, haven't you said that before? Please change your way of threatening me next time, okay?"

  After finishing speaking, Xu Shaoyan strode out of the extremely luxurious villa, which was only inhabited by his lonely, nagging and eccentric mother. Sometimes, he thought, he finally somewhat understood why his father never came home; it was too stifling, too oppressive here, making people feel suffocated...

  Did she... get home? As he drove away from his mother's house, Xu Shaoyan couldn't help but worry about Cheng Ziyue. He hastily dialed her number, but the phone only rang a few times before it was hung up by Cheng Ziyue. He persisted in calling again and again, while Cheng Ziyue persisted in hanging up on him...

  She always refused to answer his calls!
