Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon hearing his mother’s words, Pei Xuanxin became more and more suspicious.

“Then where did Li Yan go today?”

Mrs. Pei said, “I don’t know. She said that she went out to see if she could find any work. It’s been four hours since she went out. I wonder if she can find a job or not!”

Pei Xuanxin’s heart sank even more, making him feel suffocated.

Pei Xuanxin planned to ask the brokerage.

If Li Yan wanted to buy a house or shop, she would definitely look for a broker.

He only needed to ask the broker. Then, everything would be clear.

With this in mind, Pei Xuanxin rushed to the dental shop.

When Pei Xuanxin came out of the brokerage again, his expression was very gloomy.

Although Li Yan didn’t reveal her ident.i.ty, the broker had investigated Li Yan’s ident.i.ty.

Therefore, as soon as Pei Xuanxin entered and revealed his ident.i.ty, someone immediately answered everything he asked.

At this moment, Pei Xuanxin realized that Li Yan had actually done so many things behind his back.

After returning home, Pei Xuanxin sat in the courtyard and thought about it calmly.

After Li Yan returned from her shop, she saw Pei Xuanxin sitting in the courtyard. Her legs immediately went limp and she walked over guiltily. ‘Why are you back so early today, husband?”

“If I hadn’t come back so early, I really wouldn’t have known that you were even busier than me,” Pei Xuanxin said.

When Li Yan heard that it was because of this, she immediately smiled awkwardly.

“I just want to go out and see if there’s anything I can do to earn some money to supplement the family’s expenses!”

Pei Xuanxin turned around and looked at Li Yan.

Pei Xuanxin could see what was wrong.

He and his mother didn’t look very healthy.

On the other hand, Li Yan was glowing and radiant. From the looks of it, she was eating well and living a comfortable life.

They were all family, so why was there such a big difference?

One had to know that before this, Li Yan was the same as them. Why did she seem to have changed so much in such a short time?

However, the house, shop, and farmstead Li Yan had bought were worth a lot of money.

Where did Li Yan get so much money from?

Could it be from someone else?

For some reason, Pei Xuanxin remembered what his mother had said previously.

“What was in the basket you collected?” Pei Xuanxin suddenly asked.

When Li Yan heard Pei Xuanxin’s words, she subconsciously replied, “Gold ingots!”

As soon as he said this, Li Yan immediately reacted and her eyes widened as she looked at Pei Xuanxin.

“No, no, they were just veggies!”

Pei Xuanxin sneered when he heard this.

“Gold ingots? A basket of gold ingots seems to be a lot!”

When Li Yan heard Pei Xuanxin’s words, she immediately panicked.

“Husband, listen to my explanation!”

“Then explain!” Pei Xuanxin said coldly.

For some reason, when he saw Li Yan’s face, Pei Xuanxin thought of Li Xiaoran, whom he had once seen.

At this moment, he was even thinking that if he had married Li Xiaoran instead of Li Yan, such a thing definitely wouldn’t have happened.

“Husband, I didn’t want to hide it from you. I was just afraid that you would criticize me. After I accepted it, I realized that it was filled with gold ingots. I wanted to return it, but I couldn’t find that person anymore! Later, I became greedy, so I took these things for myself!” Li Yan explained. “Where are the gold ingots?” Pei Xuanxin asked again.

As soon as he said this, Li Yan frowned.

“I spent them all. I bought a lot of shops and farmsteads. There’s none left!”

“You only bought shops and a farmstead?” Pei Xuanxin sneered when he heard Li Yan’s words.

At this point, Li Yan still wanted to hide it from him.

“You only bought shops and a farmstead? You didn’t buy a house?”

When Li Yan heard Pei Xuanxin’s words, she immediately had a bad feeling.

However, she still wanted to deny it, so she nodded. “Yes, I only bought shops and a farmstead!”

“Li Yan, do I give you the feeling that I’m very stupid and easy to fool? Do you know how much trouble these gold ingots will cause me? You didn’t even tell me that you were collecting things behind my back. You bought a house outside, but you still lied to me. What are you doing? Are you preparing to kick me and my mother away so that you can live your own life?” Pei Xuanxin mocked.

When Li Yan heard Pei Xuanxin’s words, her mind buzzed.

Pei Xuanxin knew about her buying a house.

Or could it be that he actually didn’t know at all?

At this moment, Li Yan’s mind was filled with this matter and she didn’t notice that Pei Xuanxin’s expression was turning darker and darker.

Seeing that Li Yan was still hiding it from him and didn’t want to confess, Pei Xuanxin was immediately disappointed.

What kind of wife had he married?

Why was Li Yan’s initial beautiful appearance getting more and more blurry? In its place, there was a scheming and mean woman.

“Li Yan, do you think you can still hide it from me? Hurry up and take out what you collected. Where did you hide those gold ingots? Hurry up and find them!” Pei Xuanxin said coldly.

Upon hearing Pei Xuanxin’s words, Li Yan bit her lip indignantly.

“Why should I take it out? That’s my money! Let me tell you, Pei Xuanxin, this money is my own money. Don’t even think about taking it back! These gold ingots were given to me by someone!”

When Pei Xuanxin heard this, he was immediately amused.

“You think these gold ingots are for you?”

Li Yan said righteously, “That’s right. Since it was delivered to me personally, it’s a gift! This is my own dowry. It has nothing to do with you! I can spend my own money however I want!”

When Pei Xuanxin heard this, he immediately sneered. Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind.

“Since you value this money so much, live your own life! I’ll give you a divorce letter now! From now on, we’ll go our separate ways!”

Li Yan was furious and shouted, “So be it! Do you really think I was willing to marry you? If I hadn’t married you back then, I would have been the consort today!”

“Alright, I’ll give you back your freedom now and see if you can become the consort!” Pei Xuanxin sneered and stood up to go to the study.

Soon, the divorce letter was written.

Before the government office closed, Pei Xuanxin called Li Yan to the government office to file a report.

After half an hour, the two of them came out of the government office and parted ways!
