Chapter 441: Chapter 432: An Investigation Caused by a Slap

Zhang Nachuan looked at his grandson-in-law sitting at the lower end of the table.

He could sense that his son and daughter-in-law had always been somewhat dissatisfied with Qian Yisheng’s family background, but he himself was quite pleased with this grandson-in-law.

Although his profession wasn’t related to arts, he was a doctor who saved lives, and at a young age, he had already reached the position of department head.

He was also humble and polite, with a personality that complemented Lingxuan’s. Over the years, whether in family or career, they had managed quite outstandingly.

As the old saying goes, it’s hard to find someone like him even with a lantern.

Yet... Lingxuan, that child, is truly muddle-headed!

She turned a good hand into a complete mess!

"Yisheng, have you thought it through?"

"Yes, Grandpa."

Zhang Nachuan put down the cup of tea that had long gone cold in his hand, "Then this old man has no objections."

Qian Yisheng was surprised to hear his easy acquiescence and looked over in astonishment, "Grandpa..."

Zhang Nachuan waved his hand wearily, "I’ve observed you for a few years now. Although you seem mild, you can’t tolerate any nonsense. Lingxuan indeed went too far this time, and I, as an old man, have no face to force you to stay together. Even if you forced yourselves, you wouldn’t be happy, would you? It’s better to just let go, it’ll be better for both of you."

Qian Yisheng stood up and gave a deep bow to the old man seated at the head, "Thank you, Grandpa, for making it happen."

"But even after the divorce, you should still bring Nannan over to visit when you have time. Even though you’re no longer my grandson-in-law, you’re still my great-granddaughter’s father and a junior I admire."

"Okay."

"Come on, you two came all this way, have a meal with the old man before you go back. An’an has gone to school, leaving no one to accompany this old man for a meal."

Zhang Lingxuan looked at the divorce agreement in front of her, already signed with the husband’s name.

On the page of asset distribution, she glanced and noticed that Qian Yisheng had divided most of the family’s assets to her, including the house they currently lived in.

Yet he was taking the custody of their daughter.

Lin Yi already knew that the old man had agreed to their divorce, and since there was no room for salvage, given Lingxuan’s current situation of having no money or job, being able to get more assets was at least something.

"At least he has some conscience," she said, handing over the pen. "Just sign it. I never liked him anyway. It’s good you’re divorcing. Mom will find you someone better."

With teary eyes and trembling fingers, Zhang Lingxuan signed her name.

Now, besides the divided assets, she truly had nothing left.

"By the way, Mom, where’s Dad? It’s been two days since I got discharged, and I haven’t seen him."

"Don’t mention him to me." Lin Yi’s face darkened, "You don’t know what got into your father these days, his temper is terrible. I just complained a bit when I came back the other day, and he dared to hit me. It’s better that he’s not back, I’m more comfortable living alone."

"He hit you?" Zhang Lingxuan was so shocked she forgot her own martial issues for a moment, "How could Dad bear to hit you?"

"Who knows, I was completely stunned when he did." Lin Yi touched her face, which was hit a few days ago, "I only came to senses after he left."

"Could there be an issue at the company?"

"How would I know? You know I’ve never pried into your father’s company matters. If only you still had your position at the company..."

Seeing her daughter’s face darken, Lin Yi quickly stopped talking.

Zhang Lingxuan forced a smile, picked up her phone, "I’ll call Xiaozhou and ask."

Even though her position was revoked, after working for so many years, she couldn’t just let go.

Besides, when Jiang Lingxi drove her out of the Zhang Family back then, she didn’t say she could never apply to their company again.

However, the call was as good as not made. Zhang Lingzhou also knew nothing.

This business involved high risk and high profit; Zhang Anfeng didn’t plan on letting his son, who had only been at work for a short time, get involved.

Afraid he’d mess it up.

Though there was a bit of a harvest.

"Xiaozhou said Dad hasn’t returned to the company since he left home!"

The mother and daughter exchanged a look and couldn’t help considering a possibility.

Lin Yi’s face went pale, shaking her head and muttering softly, "Impossible, impossible, your dad’s not that kind of person."

Zhang Lingxuan also didn’t want to think in that direction, but the more she avoided it, the more she couldn’t help pondering on it, "Mom, do you remember one time when we went shopping with Nannan, and we saw a back that looked like Dad’s in the mall, Nannan even called ’Grandpa’ to that back."

Lin Yi jumped to her feet, "Alright, stop. You haven’t even sorted out your divorce yet, so don’t worry about your father and me."

She turned and quickly went back to her room.

Zhang Lingxuan looked at the divorce agreement in front of her and painfully held her head.

Everything had been fine.

How did it all fall apart so quickly?

After returning to her room and locking the door, Lin Yi took out her phone and made a call.

"Mrs. Li, you mentioned before about hiring a private investigator to check on your husband’s cheating, could you introduce them to me?"

This was something the other person offhandedly mentioned during a card game.

She had initially scoffed at it but didn’t expect it to come to her so soon.

"Really?" the voice on the other end sounded surprised, "Old Zhang doesn’t look like that kind of person!"

"It’s not an affair," Lin Yi forced a laugh, "it’s about Xiaozhou’s new girlfriend. I suspect her motives aren’t pure, and that kid won’t listen to me. I just want to check quietly. If she’s good, it’s fine, but if her motives aren’t pure, I’ll make sure she returns every cent she’s taken from him with interest."

"I see, checking is good, there are many such girls nowadays, so you have to keep your eyes open. I’ll give you the contact info, tell them I recommended you, as they only take referrals from familiar people."

"Alright, thank you. I’ll treat you to dinner once there’s a result."

After hanging up, she added silently in her heart: hopefully, there is no result!

If something is indeed found, she wasn’t sure if she could handle it.

Just as she finished filming, Jiang Lingxi received a call from Xu Ling’an.

"They let you make calls during military training?"

"We can, but it’s in turns, and each person gets only three minutes."

"How’s the training intensity? Can you manage?"

"It’s okay, if I feel unwell, I’ll tell the instructor. Our class has a female instructor this time, she’s very kind."

"That’s good. Do as you can, don’t push yourself."

Thinking of Xu Ling’an’s skinny frame that hadn’t gained much weight since she met him, Jiang Lingxi thought of someone.

The time she met Dr. Xu while filming ’Travel Together.’

She drank the tonic prescribed by Dr. Xu then, and it was quite effective.

If she had free time, she could take Xu Ling’an to pay a visit.

"Sister, there’s something else, Zhang Lingxuan got divorced, Grandpa told me."

Jiang Lingxi immediately thought of Qian Yisheng, who had persistently called her three times the other day.

This decision was undeniably wise and decisive!

It even made her look at him with new eyes.

"Good riddance."

Xu Ling’an: "..." She couldn’t help but laugh, "I knew Sister would say that. How’s your filming going, Sister?"

"Everything is going smoothly, each day is so exciting."

Filming daily, sparring wits and strategizing with Chong Yin in her spare time, and observing the live investigation progress of a desert murder case, life couldn’t be more exciting!
