Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 511: Persisting in Error

Chapter 511: Chapter 511: Persisting in Error

But now that he could see what his future held, why did she have to destroy it with her own hands?

Was it just because the person in his future was Song Yunuan?

Xia Zhi left the investment company.

He went to work at the steel mill.

As a temporary worker.

Xia Bowen, after learning about it, didn’t say anything. If he didn’t cherish such a good opportunity, what could Xia Bowen do?

Even this temporary job was hard for Xia Ming to come by.

Xia Bowen visited Shangguan Yunqi.

Since Xia Zhi had left the investment company, she stopped her hunger strike and began to eat.

However, when Xia Zhi visited her in prison, the conversation between mother and son was anything but friendly.

Shangguan Yunqi saw resentment in Xia Zhi’s eyes.

At that time, Shangguan Yunqi hated Song Yunuan even more.

All because of this damn little bitch, she was imprisoned, Xia Bowen had become her lapdog, and Xia Xindong had received the compensation he deserved. They were all doing well now, so why couldn’t they let her go?

Don’t think she didn’t know Song Yunuan’s insidious intentions, seeking to drive a wedge between her and her son.

That damn investment company was nothing but a front, all just to target her.

But there she was inside, powerless, and because of her last actions, she had another year added to her sentence.

One could see that not only did Xia Bowen not help her at all, but he also seemed to betray her out of self-righteousness.

The hatred in Shangguan Yunqi’s heart grew only stronger.

Waiting for Xia Bowen’s visit, her heart was full of resentment, and she said mockingly, "You old dog, have you and that little bitch been eating the same shit?"

Xia Bowen remained unmoved.

He had anticipated this.

Still, he felt uncomfortable inside.

He couldn’t claim he had ruled supreme all his life, but he had lived well, never having heard such unpleasant words or encountered such helpless situations.

He just quietly watched Shangguan Yunqi without speaking.

Shangguan Yunqi, gritting her teeth, said, "I’m telling you, Xia Bowen, no matter what you do, that little bitch will never acknowledge you. You might as well give up that hope."

Xia Bowen still didn’t react.

Whatever, his skin was thick now.

Shangguan Yunqi’s eyes were full of resentment, her gaze was as if tainted with poison.

"Xia Bowen, you cur! Do you think by treating me this way, you’ll end up any better?

You won’t. You won’t have a good ending!

Song Yunuan and Xia Xindong are just using you to let you cling to life. Right now they can’t find any dirt on you, otherwise, your fate would be worse than mine.

Why did you let Xia Zhi go to that little bitch’s company? Didn’t you know she was deliberately targeting me? If he hadn’t gone to that damn investment firm, would Xia Zhi hate me so much?"

Xia Bowen really wanted to reason with her.

After all, they had been husband and wife for so many years; he didn’t want to see her in such a hateful, abominable state.

But the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back down, knowing that at this point, reason would be useless.

Because Shangguan Yunqi would simply not listen.

He said indifferently, "I just returned from Xiangjiang, and it has been a long time since you talked to your older brother, hasn’t it? Don’t you want to know how he’s doing?"

Pausing for a moment, Xia Bowen continued, "You two were so close, didn’t you notice that your brother is now hospitalized too?

When he was committing those wrongdoings, didn’t he think that one day he’d face this retribution?

You didn’t see him weeping and knocking his head in admission of his wrongs.

If one knew this would happen, why go through with it in the first place?

You’re not even like your brother; how can you still think you’re right?

Are you truly beyond redemption?"

Shangguan Yunqi, ah, I still haven’t figured out what your mind is made of, nor have I understood what controls your emotions. I thought I knew you well, but now I realize I don’t understand you at all."

What is there to not understand, really?

At the end of the day, in Shangguan Yunqi’s heart, she still doesn’t see these people as worth looking at.

Up until now, she hasn’t felt a shred of fear or regret.

Only hatred fills her heart.

Let it be, after all, she’s already in her sixties.

When Shangguan Yunqi heard Xia Bowen’s words, she glared at him with wide, angry eyes, fixatingly staring at him.

"You’re lying, you’re deceiving me. How could my eldest brother possibly be like that?"

Xia Bowen: "I don’t know if you’ll be able to see him. When you do, you’ll know I wasn’t lying to you, but I’m not sure if your brother will still treat you like he used to, or if he also resents you for dragging him down.

But that’s an account to be settled between you siblings, it has nothing to do with me. From now on, Shangguan Yunqi, if you think what you’re doing is right, then keep at it. If you think I’m a terrible person, then I’ll continue to be one.

Actually, getting divorced at this age is really embarrassing.

It’s not just embarrassing for oneself; it also shames the children.

But I still want to propose a divorce to you.

I’ll write an application, hoping the organization will approve, and hoping you will agree.

After all, I’m a dog, and you, a noble and proud heiress of the Shangguan family, how could you possibly allow a dog to be your husband?

How embarrassing for you.

I think you will be very happy to agree to the divorce."

After saying these words, Xia Bowen didn’t even look at Shangguan Yunqi, and truly left with cold indifference.

As he walked away, Xia Bowen couldn’t help but mock himself, thinking what’s the point in pretending to stand by each other. Did he not know his own faults, or Shangguan Yunqi’s? Did others not know?

Everyone has an idea in their hearts.

No matter what one does, certain things will never return to their original, pristine state.

If it’s broken, it’s broken; if it’s spoiled, it’s spoiled; if it’s rotten, it’s rotten—it can’t be fixed.

Well, it’s like that now anyway.

Let it be what it will be.

At this moment, Xia Bowen had a feeling of wanting to just smash everything since it was already broken.

Shangguan Yunqi looked in disbelief as Xia Bowen, who had suddenly turned against her, disappeared from her sight.

Furious, she pounded the table madly, but still, she was forcibly dragged away by the guards.

As she was taken away, Shangguan Yunqi cursed loudly, hurling extremely nasty words.

Only after being sternly rebuked by the guards did she finally shut her mouth.

After entering, Shangguan Yunqi looked at the narrow cell, and that sense of suffocation came over her again.

She was locked up with several women of different ages.

If this were the past, these people wouldn’t even dream of speaking a word to her.

Let alone sharing meals and sleep.

But now, she had to endure it every day.

Shangguan Yunqi was beginning to have regrets.

She shouldn’t have treated Xia Bowen that way.

She still had just over a year before she could get out. If Xia Bowen really divorced her during this time, the only ones she could count on were her few children.

Among these four children, the daughter was somewhat okay, but always vacillating.

And she always looked at her with accusatory eyes, her visits always turning into lectures, hoping that she would recognize her mistakes and truly repent.

She even hoped that once out, she would genuinely apologize to Xia Xindong’s family.

Because it was her only daughter, she didn’t want to scold her.

But still, in her heart, she couldn’t stand the hatred.
