Chapter 1044: Upholding Justice Over Family

Xu Shu’s lips twitched a little.

He had never seen such a straightforward act of righteousness.

“Alright, thank you.”

“No problem, just a small favor.”

Mrs.

Tan waved her hand, not giving someone a single glance, and was about to leave.

Doctor Tan finally reacted, disregarding his image, almost half-running and half-crawling over, clutching Mrs.

Tan’s leg while crying and wailing, “Honey…

Honey, I was wrong.

I won’t dare again.

Please, for the sake of our more than twenty years of marriage, save me.”

“Relationship?”

The woman raised her brows, “Tan, I told you when we got married, I just needed a husband in name to shut my family up.

We haven’t lived together since our marriage.

If only you could listen a bit and not embarrass me, I would have let you keep this position.

But you were too greedy and made me sick.”

“Honey…

no, honey, you can’t treat me like this.

I…

I covered for you.

Even if I didn’t achieve much, I worked hard!”

“You really have the nerve!”

Mrs.

Tan kicked him away, “What do you have?

What you have now is all given by me.

Did you really think you had a stable hold as a climber?”

Doctor Tan’s face showed humiliation and was flushed red, with hatred in his eyes, yet tears on his face, making him look like crocodile tears.

“You don’t have to howl at me.

My lawyer will contact you.

You will return whatever I have given you.

Leaving with nothing is my greatest kindness to you.”

Mrs.

Tan tossed down the divorce papers.

Outside the conference room, a young man about twenty years old, after she came out, took her hand proactively.

The air was eerily silent.

Until a relatively inexperienced doctor suddenly unintentionally said, “I heard Doctor Tan and his wife were in a marriage of convenience, Mrs.

Tan liked younger men…”

He didn’t control his voice, and someone nearby quickly pulled him, signaling him to shut up.

Awkwardly enough, people around looked uncomfortable.

Climber, marriage of convenience, shield…

Actually, Doctor Tan was very handsome when he was young.

Logically, based on looks alone, Mrs.

Tan would have spent a few good years with him.

But it didn’t happen that way.

After marriage, they almost had no contact.

Mrs.

Tan was always very clear-minded, not even bothering with a shield.

Doctor Tan was probably lucky to meet Mrs.

Tan at a time when she needed a husband; even if it wasn’t him, it would’ve been someone else.

He collapsed to the ground, facing the door, not daring to look back, yet aware of his colleagues’ various disdainful looks or them pointing fingers at him.

Just one thought in his mind.

It’s over, reached the end.

Xu Shu handled matters swiftly, and no sooner had Mrs.

Tan left than the police arrived.

He handed all the evidence to the police, passing by Doctor Tan, his dark eyes glancing down indifferently, “Ye Wanting will sue you, but you can plead guilty immediately.

Whether the trial happens or not, your sentence starts at ten years.”

“…”

Coming out of the hospital, Xu Shu saw Yaen Chi waiting beside the car, smoking.

He walked over, and Yaen Chi glanced at him once before looking back in the same direction.

It should be the direction the police car left.

Xu Shu didn’t greet him, but went straight to the passenger seat.

Yaen Chi only got in after finishing his cigarette, “Leaving so early, not working today?”

Xu Shu propped his hand against the window edge, pressing his knuckle against his brow, “I actually have the day off today.”

“That’s really troubling my dear Doctor Xu.”

Xu Shu looked at him impatiently.

“Take me back.”
