Chapter 4 The Feeling of Being Alone

To everyone's surprise, Wei Yiyi suddenly got up and got off the bed. She walked to Yan Congxue and stared at her without any fear, "Mom, I will never divorce. I'd rather waste the time with Lin Xiangzhe than divorce. Do you think this is appropriate if sister give birth to an illegitimate child as your grandson?"

The corners of Wei Yiyi's lips curled into a beautiful smile. If it were in the past, she would never say such frivolous words to Yan Congxue. However, Wei Yiyi now understood that no matter what mistakes Wei Xinyu made, Yan Congxue would stand by Wei Xinyu's side and plot against her. Since that was the case, why should she give in?

"Slap!" A slap landed on Wei Yiyi's face without hesitation. Wei Chengze pulled his hand back and stood up beside Yan Congxue. The deep and heavy sound hit Wei Yiyi hard, causing her to lose her mind, "Shut up, who taught you to talk to your elders like this? Wei Yiyi, apologize immediately!"

Wei Yiyi covered her face and stood rooted to the ground. She never expected her father, who was the only person that had blood relationship with her, would beat her with no sense. She thought that her father would be gentle, but she was wrong...

Wei Chengze frowned and stared at Wei Yiyi with a pair of deep eyes. His low voice was filled with anger, "I repeat, apologize to your mother!"

"I'm not wrong." Wei Yiyi stuck her neck out and turned her face away. Her face was full of stubbornness.

Wei Chengze's eyes were filled with anger. His face was gloomy and his words were full of orders, "Wei Yiyi, let me tell you, to divorce is the only choice you can make!"

"I won't divorce." Wei Yiyi turned her face to Wei Chengze with a strong look in her eyes, "Dad, no matter what, I won't divorce. I'm asking you and mom to make it clear that I'm not the one who should repent for ruining someone else's family. This was done by your good daughter, Wei Xinyu! Unless she apologizes to me personally, I will not compromise!"

She stared coldly at her father whom she had revered for so many years. Although she was already disheartened by this marriage, she did not know why she wanted to rebel and go against her parents' wishes for only once. Besides, she didn't do anything wrong.

Wei Yiyi's words shot into Wei Chengze's heart like an arrow. He was stunned, and he could not bear to say anything.

Seeing this, Yan Congxue frowned and reached out to grab Wei Chengze's clothes. She said to Wei Yiyi, "Yiyi, we're doing this for your own good. Your father and I are here to inform you about this today, not to discuss it with you. You can go back and talk about the divorce with Xiangzhe later. Your father and I will leave first."

After saying that, Yan Congxue took a meaningful glance at Wei Yiyi, then held Wei Chengze's arm and walked out gracefully.

It was as if the vicious woman who had just bared her teeth had never appeared.

It was only when the sound made by the high heels had faded away that the tears that Wei Yiyi had been holding on for a long time finally flowed down without any restraint. She sat back on the bed, her head resting on the blanket as she sobbed pitifully.

Suddenly, as if Wei Yiyi had recalled something, she wiped her face and unlocked her phone. There was nothing else in the empty phone book except for a few missed calls from her father, Wei Chengze.

Wei Yiyi snickered and finally understood what it meant to be utterly disillusioned.

Divorce.

Her thin fingers quickly typed the simple word on the screen and then clicked to send it without any hesitation.

Divorce, Lin Xiangzhe, as you wish.

The dark screen reflected the dejected expressions of Wei Yiyi. It was as if it had been an hour or two, Lin Xiangzhe's reply had never come.

Wei Yiyi's eyes were full of tears and she could no longer bear with the exhaustion and sleepiness. She fell asleep unconsciously on the bed where she was given the transfusion.

......

The next morning, accompanied by the smell of disinfectant from the hospital, Wei Yiyi was woken up by a sharp bell.

The phone vibrated on the cabinet, almost falling off. Wei Yiyi looked out of the window at the blinding sunlight and suddenly came back to her senses. She quickly got up from the bed and picked up the phone.

"Wei Yiyi, what time is it? Are you going to strike? Come to the company quickly!"

"Manager." Wei Yiyi pressed her forehead tiredly and her body still felt heavy. She spoke with a soft and supple voice, "I'm feeling a little uncomfortable right now. Can I take a day off?"

"No way." On the other side of the phone, Manager Wang refused. She pushed the glasses on her nose and said in a powerful voice, "Right now, the company's biggest client is waiting in the reception room. I've assigned this case to you. How can you not be there?"

"Alright, I won't talk anymore. I'll give you half an hour to come to the company."

After saying that, the phone was quickly hung up.

Wei Yiyi's slender fingers brushed across the screen, and no other phone call came in except for Manager Wang's.

It was as clean as her current self-esteem.

She snickered and took out her rubber band to tie her hair seriously.

From this moment on, Wei Yiyi could only love herself and live for herself.

......

At 9:40 a.m., the penniless Wei Yiyi walked from the hospital to the company on foot. Fortunately, Lin Tianyuan had already paid for the infusion, and the hospital was only ten minutes away from the company.

At this moment, a couple were sitting on the sofa for the reception guests on the first floor. When they saw Wei Yiyi enter, they immediately stood up.

"Wei Yiyi, stop right there!" Yan Congxue shook off Wei Chengze's hand and quickly walked a few steps in her high heels. Yan Congxue blocked the elevator door in front of Wei Yiyi, and she narrowed her eyes which were full of impatience.

"Mom?" Wei Yiyi was shocked by the sudden presence of Yan Congxue. She really did not expect that Yan Congxue, who had been in the hospital for half the night yesterday, would actually come to her company.

Wei Chengze also came to Yan Congxue's side and stood opposite Wei Yiyi. His muddy eyes darkened silently as if he was looking at Wei Yiyi with disappointment.

The subtle and awkward atmosphere between the three of them attracted many colleagues who were preparing to take the elevator. Many people gathered around the elevator, waiting to see a show.

Yan Congxue smoothed her hair. The moment she raised her head, the diamond necklace on her neck was blinding, "Yiyi, mom is not messing with you. You're really too unscrupulous. Why did you try to seduce your sister's fiancé?"

After she finished speaking, she made sure that most of the people there had heard her, and a cold smile suddenly flashed across her face.

"What?" Wei Yiyi was so shocked that she almost laughed out loud. Yan Congxue, Wei Yiyi's so-called mother, was so shameless that she could distort the truth deliberately in such a blatant way.
