Chapter 576: Chapter 576: People Well-Versed in Poetry and Books are not Necessarily Pedantic

Shen Mianmian shook her head. "He Nan, I’m not cold, I just wasn’t used to the wind blowing just now."

Seeing her flushed face, which indeed did not seem like someone who was cold, He Nan didn’t insist on her entering the room. "Do you have something you want to talk to me about?"

He Nan was really smart, Shen Mianmian nodded and uttered a ’hm’.

He Nan didn’t make a sound, as if waiting for her to continue.

Shen Mianmian glanced back to make sure the door was shut tight so Li Shiping wouldn’t hear, then spoke in a low voice, "He Nan, have you mentioned the matter about selling the house to Li Yue yet?"

"Not yet." These matters required the right moment, and He Nan was not someone who liked to babble on. He preferred to strike decisively—either he wouldn’t act at all, or when he did, it was with the intent to not falter until the very end.

Shen Mianmian was not an impatient person. She knew that if He Nan hadn’t spoken, he must have had his own plans. "He Nan, this afternoon, Xiaocui ran into Sister Shiping. It seemed like she was planning to sell her gold bracelet."

As to why she would sell the gold bracelet, she believed He Nan knew better than she did. With Li Shiping’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t sell those items; one could guess with a tap of the foot—it must be Wan Dongcheng who instigated this.

As for where the money would go, it was also quite obvious; Wan Dongcheng’s cousin was getting married, and he surely went back to show off again.

He Nan’s expression darkened. "Wan Dongcheng has been living too comfortably lately."

"He Nan, Sister Shiping is not happy at all; she’s becoming more haggard day by day. If this continues, she’ll eventually fall into depression." Even if she ended up divorcing Wan Dongcheng, Li Shiping would have nearly lost half her life.

"Li Yue has always supported her divorce, but she’s too soft-hearted and keeps indulging Wan Dongcheng. Unless she lets go, no one can help her."

As long as Li Shiping was willing to divorce, he and Li Yue had a hundred ways to free her from Wan Dongcheng.

"He Nan, do you guys also hope Sister Shiping will get a divorce?" Shen Mianmian’s eyes lit up. She had always been reluctant to express her thoughts too clearly for fear that the Li Family would be too conservative and think divorce was shameful. But from what He Nan said, it seemed she might have been wrong.

He Nan smiled faintly. "If we couldn’t see what you can clearly see, you’d probably laugh at us."

He rarely smiled, always keeping a cold expression, so his sudden smile caught Shen Mianmian off guard. She was dazzled by it and had to admit, He Nan looked truly handsome when he smiled.

"Many people think divorce is shameful, and since Uncle Li is a professor, I thought he’d care more about these things."

"Those well-versed in literature aren’t necessarily old-fashioned."

So that means if Li Shiping decided to divorce, Li Julin would support it?

This news delighted Shen Mianmian. She had known that Xiu Min and Li Yue wouldn’t strongly oppose Li Shiping’s divorce, but she had thought that getting past Li Julin might be difficult.

Now it seemed that things were much easier than she thought; as long as Li Shiping was willing, Wan Dongcheng would just have to step aside.

"I’ve always been afraid to comment too much on Sister Shiping’s situation. I was worried you guys would think I had misguided ideas or that I was inciting Sister Shiping. But watching Wan Dongcheng treat her like that, I really couldn’t stand it. Last time I saw them at the market, Sister Shiping was holding the child and carrying a lot of things, while Wan Dongcheng just stood by like a lord, not lifting a finger to help. He’s also often out socializing with others."

In fact, Shen Mianmian wanted to say that Wan Dongcheng would end up cheating, but since that hadn’t happened yet, she couldn’t speak of it.
