My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

As far as she can remember, no matter whether it was in Nancheng, or during the years when she was in America, her parents’ relationship was never good.

After Qu Zizun’s company declared bankruptcy a few years back, their marriage started teetering on the edge of collapse. Arguments every three days, blowout fights every five, they finally divorced six months ago.

What she couldn’t accept was that Xu Jing had agreed to leave the marriage without taking a single penny in alimony.

Qu Yunyao thought her mother was too weak, not even able to fight for what she deserved, which had made her, her daughter, bear a lot of hardship as a

result.

Not at all like her aunt, who despite leaving the world at a young age due a good marriage, her daughter was raised like a princess in the Mo family.

Mo Weiyi was truly an admired woman, so high above, always got what she wanted, and never put anyone in her sight…

After leaving the restroom, Qu Yunyao looked at the doorway. With a turn of thought, she headed in the opposite direction of the corridor.

As expected, when she circled the villa, she spotted Xiaoyebai who was standing in the corridor making a call.

He was holding his phone as a cigarette was caught between his slender fingers. Compared to his cultured and refined manner when he was in front o everyone earlier, his present image exuded a lazy and wild charm.

“The matter you asked me to look into has been sorted out.”

“What do you mean?”

-Your uncle and aunt have been staying at a hotel nearby the hospital for the past few days. It seems your uncle was somewhat injured but it’s not serious. Lately, apart from going in and out of the hospital to take care of your cousin, they haven’t made any other moves.”

Xiaoyebai pressed his thin lips together after hearing these words, falling silent.

“I’ve also checked their accounts, there’s been no deposit these few days. If you’re really suspicious, we can ask the company’s finance department to check on Mo Yaoxiong’s accounts.”

“Without the money, they can’t be so quiet.” Xiaoyebai said lightly.

“What are you suspecting?”

“…” Xiaoyebai didn’t say anything.

“You’ve already checked.” the voice on the other side of the call sighed, “Eight million, it’s indeed not a huge amount for Mo Yaoxiong but if he transferred it through the company’s account, there would be traces. So, if he’s keeping it such a secret while giving the money in private, he must have something to

hide. Could it be…”

The voice on the phone turned serious, “Did he leave something incriminating in the hands of your uncle and aunt?”

Xiaoyebai narrowed his eyes slightly, under the dim light of the balcony, his handsome features grew more obscure.

After taking a drag of his cigarette he said, “Keep investigating. Call me if anything comes up.”

“Alright. Also take care of the company’s business.”

“What’s wrong?”

‘You’ve laid off quite a few old stakeholders of Mo family these past years. Most of them were your grandfather’s old subordinates. Some were Mo Yaoxiong’s old friends. There’s too much dirty laundry in the Mo family’s past. If they want to clean their slate, they won’t have any convenience to break things off with these people. So they let you play the bad guy, letting you be the hardliner. Now, Mo family is smooth sailing, but even a rabbit will bite when it’s cornered, if they backfire, the most dangerous one will be you.”

Xiaoyebai said, “I keep it in mind.”

■■Anyway, better safe than sorry. I’ll be back in a few days. We’ll catch up over drinks.”

“Hmm.”

He ended the call, extinguished the cigarette, and turned to leave.

Qu Yunyao stood in the corner of the lawn outside the balcony, holding her breath and listening, until the sound of footsteps disappeared completely.

Then she turned around and went back the same way she came.

In the living room, the projector was showing a comedy show on the big screen.

When Mo Weiyi saw Xiaoyebai return, she immediately said, “Xiaobai, come and have strawberries. Granny brought them over, they’re so sweet.”

As Xiaoyebai got closer to her, she handed him the half-eaten strawberry in her hand.

Xiaoyebai bent over and took a bite off the strawberry in her hand. “Is it sweet?” Mo Weiyi asked with her beautiful cat eyes watching him.

“Hmm.” Xiaoyebai replied.

Mo Weiyi smiled immediately, her eyes curving, “Want more?”

She was beautiful, and when she smiled, she was sweeter. Xiaoyebai looked at her and his lips curled up slightly, “Eat less, your period is almost here.”

Mo Weiyi was taken aback, “Ah, soon?”

“Tomorrow.”

Mo Weiyi:

It’s strange that Xiaoyebai could never remember any holiday or anniversary, but he always knew when her period was due, how many days it lasted, and remembered these very accurately.

So she never bothered to remember those days and let him remind her, only this time…

Mo Weiyi put the strawberry down, and a strange thought suddenly popped into her mind.

Up to now she still didn’t have any physical response, could it be… “Yunyao.” Xu Jing called out, “Why were you in the restroom for so long? Your uncle wanted to ask you about the piano grade exam.”

Mo Weiyi looked over.

Qu Yunyao sat down on the couch and politely said, “I’ve recently been practicing Beethoven’s Sonata in G Minor, First Movement, but no matter how much I practice, I don’t feel like I’m playing it well.”

Xu Jing said with a smile, “Don’t rush. There is a process to learning the piano.” “I remember my brother-in-law is pretty good at playing the piano, right?” Qu

Yunyao asked.

“Correct,” Mo Yaoxung said immediately, “Yebai got his grade ten certificates in piano and violin a long time ago.”

“Wow brother-in-law is so amazing!” Qu Yunyao said with a look of admiration, “He’s handsome, good at work, and has such high musical talent…. Weiyi, you must have saved the Milky Way in your last life, right?”
