While everyone at Blues was busy in a complete mess, Ling Qianchen was waiting at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He had been waiting for a full three hours.
Three hours later than the scheduled time was enough to prove that Yuan Meng might have changed her mind or suddenly didn't want to get a divorce anymore.
Ling Qianchen's lips twitched slightly downward. He couldn't accept being played around.
If she didn't want a divorce from the start, she could have just said so. There was no need to play with him like this again and again.
Ling Qianchen's patience was completely worn out. He took out his phone and called Yuan Meng, but the line was always busy.
His thin lips tightened, and his face showed impatience as he put the phone back into his pocket.
Chai Yanyu, who witnessed all this, silently gave himself a thumbs - up in his heart. A few days ago, he secretly changed the phone number Ling Qianchen had saved.
Then, he blocked Ling Qianchen's number using the modified one. Of course, the call couldn't get through with this set - up.
However, Chai Yanyu also realized more clearly in his heart that Ling Qianchen simply didn't care about Yuan Meng.
He couldn't wait to tell his cousin that Yuan Meng's real identity was Ai Yue, the woman he had been longing for but couldn't have.
But he still had a bit of a sense of contract. So, no matter how hard it was for him to bear, he kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
Yuan Meng had indeed taken a shortcut. Chai Yanyu hadn't made any specific rules about this, and he understood this principle himself.
Blocking the two of them from getting a divorce this time was indeed a bit over the top on his part.
But once his cousin found out Yuan Meng's real identity, he would definitely praise him.
Chai Yanyu cleared his throat as he looked at the increasingly impatient Ling Qianchen in front of him. "Cousin, since Yuan Meng doesn't want to divorce you, why don't you just stay married?"
He pretended to say this casually, but in fact, he was eagerly waiting for Ling Qianchen's response in his heart.
He was determined to match these two people up. The most important thing now was to prevent them from getting a divorce.
If they really got divorced, it would be a disaster.
"I already have someone in my heart," Ling Qianchen said.
Hearing this, Chai Yanyu silently sighed in his heart.
His cousin was such a person. Once he had his heart set on someone, he would never let go.
But the person he had set his heart on was the same person as his current wife!
If they really got the divorce certificate and his cousin found out the truth later, he would surely regret it to death.
"Actually, Yuan Meng is a nice person. She's beautiful and gentle. Most importantly, she likes you, cousin."
"Ai Yue is indeed an attractive woman, but she has publicly stated on the Internet several times that she's not interested in you, and she's made you the butt of everyone's jokes. Are you really not bothered by it at all?"
"Of course, the most important thing is that she has no feelings for you. Instead of chasing after her like this, you might as well live a good life with your wife at home."
Chai Yanyu tried his best to persuade. He had always been a playboy and had never said such things about living a good life with his wife at home.
For his cousin, he was even willing to make this first - time effort.
He had originally thought that Ling Qianchen would think about it after hearing this, but unexpectedly, Ling Qianchen looked at him suspiciously.
"Chai Yanyu, did you take her money?"
Hearing the words "take money", Chai Yanyu's mind went blank. "Ah?"
"Am I, the young master of the Chai family, in need of someone's hand - out?"
Chai Yanyu was almost laughed out of anger. He stamped his feet in a hurry when he said this.
Ling Qianchen glanced at his seemingly dim - witted cousin and took two steps back to keep a safe distance from him.
He straightened his suit. "There's no way I'll change my decision about the divorce."
"You don't need to say more. No matter how much you say, I won't change my mind."
Hearing this, Chai Yanyu rolled his eyes dramatically.
He simply stopped bothering with Ling Qianchen. He took out his phone and sent a message: Initiate Plan B.
After sending this message, he switched to a video - sharing platform and started swiping through short videos.
The beautiful women in these short videos all had hot figures and good looks. They were truly eye - catching.
But after meeting a few of them last time, Chai Yanyu knew that they were all made up with beauty filters and photo - editing.
At that time, his heart had turned cold, and he decided that he would never meet the beautiful women from short videos again. However, it was okay to just look at them on the videos.
After swiping for about five minutes, Ling Qianchen's phone rang.
After answering the call and hearing what was said on the other end, his expression suddenly became very serious.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Qianchen said, "Something has happened to the branch company. I have to go and deal with it. You can go back first."
Chai Yanyu nodded immediately when he heard this. This was exactly what he had been waiting for.
"Then, cousin, I'll see you off."
Mainly because he was afraid that something else might happen after Ling Qianchen left. If that happened, everything would be over.
Ling Qianchen didn't know what was going on in this kid's mind. He just thought that his cousin had grown up a bit. He opened his phone and composed a text message to Yuan Meng.
The message postponed the divorce time, explained that something had happened to his overseas branch company, and also mentioned why she hadn't shown up.
After sending the message to Yuan Meng, Ling Qianchen called Ai Yue, planning to tell her in person.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the call was connected, Chai Yanyu's phone rang.
Ling Qianchen didn't notice anything wrong at first, but Chai Yanyu was flustered. His whole body was covered in goosebumps, and he immediately hung up the phone.
As soon as he hung up, Ling Qianchen's call was also disconnected.
The beeping sound was still ringing in his ears...
He looked at Chai Yanyu with this expression and suddenly understood something.
Oh, his cousin was really something.
Chai Yanyu didn't expect his perfect plan to be ruined by the phone. He timidly raised both hands, looking helpless. "Cousin, I..."
"I didn't do it on purpose. Well, don't you have something to deal with at your branch company? I'll leave first."
Saying this, he immediately prepared to run away. No kidding, if he stayed any longer, he might be chopped up by his cousin.
But before he could run a few steps, he heard Ling Qianchen say, "Stop him."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguards lined up in front of Chai Yanyu in unison, forming a human wall that he couldn't get through.
It's over!
Chai Yanyu silently thought in his heart. People always say that it's better to tear down ten temples than to ruin one marriage. He was doing a good deed!
Why didn't good people get good rewards? Instead, he was caught.
Woo~
"Chai Yanyu, explain to me what's going on," Ling Qianchen said as he controlled his phone to make another call.
Then, the phone rang like a death knell.
Chai Yanyu was now full of fear. He swallowed hard. "If I say this is a coincidence, will you believe me, cousin?"
Hearing this, the bodyguard blocking him from behind couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This laugh was really embarrassing. It was like a big slap on Chai Yanyu's face. He looked expressionlessly at the bodyguard who had just laughed.
"Aren't you a professional? Why did you laugh?"
The bodyguard bowed ninety degrees. "Sorry, Young Master Chai. I just couldn't hold it in."
