Chapter 1260: I Want to Make You Stay (138)

Wen Lele stared at him hopelessly and asked, “Are you compensating me on behalf of your daughter?”

“What... what are you saying?”

“I’ve already found out about everything. Bao’er was the one who had set me on fire. That’s why you returned her to her mother. You’re intimidated by her too, aren’t you?” she said while observing Shi Shaochuan’s facial expressions, which had given it all away.

“Bao’er has nothing to do with this...”

Wen Lele interrupted, “Shi Shaochuan... the truth is as clear as day and yet you’re still denying it. Is there a point in that?”

Shi Shaochuan took out a pen from his pocket and said, “Sign your name here.”

Wen Lele knew that she was in no place to go toe to toe against him, especially since she was in such a state. “Give me the money first.”

Shi Shaochuan answered, “I’ve already transferred it to you just now. You should be receiving the notification very soon.”

Just as they were speaking, Wen Lele received a message on her mobile phone.

She opened it to see that it was a notification from the bank to inform her that she had received a sum of five million dollars.

“Can you sign it now?” he asked.

“I didn’t expect you to be so pragmatic. I must have been blind to have married you. The decision to marry you was what ruined my life.”

“Aren’t you mercenary yourself? Didn’t you marry me because of my wealth? Don’t try to deny it. You know clearly whether or not I’m stating facts.”

Wen Lele sneered, “I’m not trying to deny it. If not for your wealth, why would I have married a divorcee like you who has a child?”

“Since we’ve decided to be honest with each other, there’s nothing to say between us anymore. I married you for superficial reasons as well. I found you beautiful and I just wanted you to bear a child for me. But look what you’ve become. Frankly speaking, I don’t even feel like touching you. I can’t even bring myself to look at you. Why would I live with you? I’ve already given you the money, now sign the document.”

He stuffed the pen into Wen Lele’s hand.

Wen Lele burst into tears while signing her name on the divorce papers.

Shi Shaochuan grabbed the signed document and said, “I’ll call your parents later and tell them to bring you home.”

Physically and mentally exhausted, Wen Lele laughed sarcastically and gibed, “No wonder both your former wives decided to divorce you. Most women in this world often have the misconception that they possess the potential to make a scumbag change his ways. They always think that they’ll be the last woman in his life. But in reality, scumbags will always be scumbags, no matter how hard they try and conceal their flaws with a prim and proper attire. However, I understood this too late. Way too late...”

“If I were a scumbag, I wouldn’t even have given you five million dollars!”

“Shi Shaochuan, do you think you can overwrite the fact that you’re a scum just because you gave me money? Get out. I’d like to be alone for a while,” she said, not wanting to say anything further.

In the end, Shi Shaochuan said, “I’ll call your parents now to tell them to pick you up.”

Wen Lele remained silent, as if she did not hear him at all.

She lay down and stared blankly into a corner, almost boring a hole through the wall.

She detested the person who had ruined her life!

She detested him to the core!

“Young Madam, there’s a parcel for you,” said Xiao Bai, who scurried toward the garage.

“Mine? I didn’t buy anything online though,” An Xiaoning said in bewilderment.

“I don’t know. Your name is written on it. By the way, it’s from an overseas nation.”

“Overseas? Who?” An Xiaoning asked, extremely puzzled.

“It doesn’t say who the sender is, but I’ve already checked for its safety. It contains a beautiful set of clothes and a letter.”

The first person that came to An Xiaoning’s mind was Pei Yi.

Jin Qingyan thought the same too. “Where’s the letter?”

“I’ll go get it now.”

When they’d sat down in the living room, Xiao Bai returned with the gift box and the letter. He placed the gown on the table and handed the letter to An Xiaoning.

An Xiaoning opened the letter. Just as she was about to read the contents, she glared at Jin Qingyan, who had leaned forward, and said, “Go away.”

He gave her the side-eye and said, “I just wanted to see who had written you that letter. If it’s from Pei Yi, I’ll send him a package of poop. I hope it’ll stain his face.”

An Xiaoning took out the piece of paper and said, “We’ll find out after reading the content.”

An Xiaoning instantly discovered who the sender was after reading the opening lines of the letter. She smiled and said, “Turns out it was from Mr. Gong.”

Jin Qingyan craned his neck to take a look. “What did he say?”

“Mr. Gong said that he racked his brains for a really long time but he couldn’t think of a suitable gift for me. At last, he found a girl who’s of the same build and stature as me and got a dress that’s tailored to her measurements for me. He hopes that I’ll like it and he wants me to accept it no matter what. He even said that his twin sisters are recovering well. That’s the gist of the letter.”

She put the letter away and brought the box upstairs before returning downstairs again.

Xiao Chenyang rested one arm on the couch and placed the other around Fang Erlan. “Now that we’ve already visited Master’s grave, I shall tell you guys about the curse.”

An Xiaoning listened attentively, for that was what she and Jin Qingyan wanted to know about most.

“After you two died, the news was somehow leaked and many people heard about it. I don’t know much, but I know more than you guys do now. I don’t know exactly who had placed the curse on you, but I know that the culprit was someone from the Wu family who practiced witchcraft. I know it because my mother hired one of them to place the curse on Nan Chuang. This family was an expert in placing curses. However, they charged a high price for their services, which most people can’t afford. They only perform rituals for the sake of profits.”

“Do they still exist today?”

Shaking his head, Xiao Chenyang answered, “No, they no longer exist. I don’t know when their family was wiped out entirely. They should have received their retribution. Legend has it that those who place curses in exchange for money will suffer such a fate. That’s why it’s extremely difficult to remove the curse. It’s almost impossible. I know it because they were the ones who placed the curse of devotion on me.”

“Does that mean it’s impossible, then?”

“Yes, unless we manage to find their descendants. However, I’ve already tried doing that and I got nothing in the end. I believe that they had been annihilated because of their retribution, though I can’t be a hundred percent sure.”
