"I'll give you five minutes, otherwise I'll let the old man come find you personally."
Lin Xi gritted her teeth as she read the news. How could this person be such a bitch? He was clearly pinching her weak point.
Just when I was about to reply to him, another message was sent.
"Timing begins."
It was just four words, but it made Lin Xi so angry that she wanted to take a photo of his face with her phone.
She really wanted to have the guts to turn off the phone directly, but thinking that Grandpa Shen was recovering from his illness, she picked up the phone and answered the call obediently.
"What's the matter with you? If it's about divorce, just make an appointment. There's no need to talk about it late at night."
"Lin Xi, you can provoke me first."
The gloominess in his words made Lin Xi's heart skip a beat.
The marriage between the two was designed by Grandpa Shen. He used his own death as an excuse and used the company's equity as bait to lure Shen Yize into taking the bait.
The Shen family and the Lin family are family friends. Grandpa Shen and Grandpa Lin Xi started a business together, but later parted ways due to different business philosophies.
During the summer vacation five years ago, her parents accidentally got into a car accident on the way home from school.
Her father died on the spot, and her mother used her body to protect Lin Xi. She managed to escape, but her mother fell into a coma.
Grandpa Shen had an unreasonable preference for Lin Xi, and now he wanted Lin Xi to marry into the Shen family to protect her.
At the right time, the Shen family wanted people and the Lin family wanted money. However, what no one knew was that Lin Xi wanted Shen Yize. From the first moment of love to the deepest love, his whole heart was devoted to him.
Recalling Lin Xi's helplessness, he said calmly: "I did not participate in grandpa's plan. I have explained it to you many times."
Shen Yi sneered indifferently, "So?"
His cold voice made Lin Xi tremble slightly.
He doesn't love her, and there is still a woman in his heart who has been guarding him for many years. What's the point of such a marriage that can only be seen at the end?
"Mr. Shen, this is a society governed by the rule of law. I don't want to get divorced and make it known to everyone."
The woman's voice was calm, still carrying her unique softness, but also had a firmness that should not be underestimated.
"That's not a small tone." Shen Yi sneered coldly. You could feel the man's anger and displeasure right through the screen.
Lin Xi understood that his attitude at this time was just a man's pride.
He has no feelings for her and Chu Xinyi is back. How could he not want a divorce?
Thinking of this, Lin Xi said calmly: "If you really feel that I have hurt your face by mentioning divorce first, you can draft a new divorce agreement and sign it before giving it to me."
After a period of dead silence on the other end of the phone, the man's mocking and sarcastic voice came, "Even if I'm stupid, I still want to lower other people's IQ."
Lin Xi cursed secretly: You man, you have such a bad mouth, you will suffer from it sooner or later.
But he still said in a good voice: "Shen Yize, I have delayed you all these years because I don't know how high the world is, so I don't want a penny from you and I sincerely help you."
Shen Yi's originally mocking voice had a hint of hoarseness in it, "Oh, it's quite similar this time. You've been pretending for long enough, and you even need to be separated."
Lin Xi smiled bitterly. After all this, he actually thought he was making trouble with him.
"Mr. Shen, we can't sleep in the same bed a few times throughout the year. What's the point of me separating from you?"
"You blame me for not touching you enough?" The man's voice was deep.
Lin Xi sighed and said a few words without speculation. This was not on the same channel at all.
"Shen Yize, hurry up and sign the divorce agreement. We will go through the formalities on Monday." She expressed her attitude again.
Shen Yi said coldly, "Have you and the Lin family wanted to leave me less over the years? You might as well tell me what you want this time."
Hearing this, Lin Xi's heart froze. She had once played a little tantrum because of his ignorance, trying to get his attention, but she didn't expect that he actually wanted something in his heart, and even made him feel that he was insatiable.
She slowly clenched her cold fingers, bit her lip and sneered, "So, Mr. Shen, sign it. We people are really not worth your trouble."
After going around and around the topic of divorce, "taking advantage of every inch", Shen Yi's voice was cold.
"Shen Yize, who is trying too hard to make you think that I can't live without you? Mr. Shen, don't take yourself too seriously. If this girl likes you, she will accommodate you. Now if she doesn't like you, you are a piece of shit. Don't follow me. Puxin men are equally annoying, so please complete the procedures as soon as possible on Monday."
Seeing that Lin Xi had said all her good things, someone still felt that she had ulterior motives, so she simply stopped being polite, hung up the phone after finishing her argument, and turned off the phone to go to sleep.
Shen Yi on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. When he realized what he was doing, he crushed the cigarette in his hand to pieces.
…
The next morning, just after Lin Xi had washed up, Shen Yize called again.
"What's up?"
Thinking of the conversation last night, Lin Xi asked impatiently.
"Go back to the old house, grandpa is waiting for you." Someone's voice was calm, as usual, as if the quarrel last night had never happened.
Grandpa Shen treated her better than his own granddaughter. Lin Xi couldn't bear to make the old man sad and hesitated.
"Come back by yourself, I'll wait for you at home."
Shen Yi's indifferent voice made Lin Xi curl her lips. He wanted to pick her up but she wasn't willing to tell him her address.
Finally, in order not to make the old man sad, Lin Xi returned to Yenan Villa. Shen Yize's black Bentley was already waiting at the gate of the community.
Glancing at Shen Yize sitting in the back seat, Lin Xi walked around him to open the passenger door.
"Ma'am, the passenger seat is full of gifts."
Shen Yize's assistant Qin Chuan came over and opened the back door for her.
Lin Xi took a look and saw that it was true.
"Why not put it in the trunk?"
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "The trunk contains seafood that was flown back this morning."
Lin Xi stopped talking, curled her lips and reluctantly got into the car.
In her opinion, the two of them were about to get divorced, so it was better to keep a distance, not to mention she was very angry last night.
After the car started, neither of them spoke in the car, and the quiet atmosphere in the car was extremely strange.
Qin Chuan has been with Shen Yize for many years and has already developed a sharp eye. Especially, he can tell the difference in Shen Yize's mood at a glance.
Now that Lin Xi got in the car and was sitting 80,000 miles away from his CEO, it was not difficult to conclude that the relationship between the two was still tense.
Thinking that her boss was at another woman's house in the middle of the night, it would be weird if the wife didn't get angry.
Through the rearview mirror, I glanced at the two silent people. It was quite uncomfortable to be so frozen.
Qin Chuan coughed lightly and tried to lighten the atmosphere, "Madam, there are two boxes of king crabs in the trunk. I saw you liked them last time. Mr. Shen specially asked someone to fly them from abroad."
"I'm afraid that it will be embarrassing if she eats out." Shen Yi glared at him and said coldly.
Qin Chuan curled his lips. The boss's original words were, "Order two boxes of king crabs and come back to see how the woman eats and satisfy her craving."
He knew Shen Yize's mouth was poisonous and hard, and any kind words he said would taste bad.
"Assistant Qin, have you got a girlfriend?"
Lin Xi did not continue the topic of king crabs, but suddenly turned to his girlfriend.
