Chapter 331: What’s the matter again? (1)_1 Chapter 331: What’s the matter again? (1)_1 An Man lifted her hand to smooth the messy strands of hair, her gaze mocking as she faced Xiang Yuan: “Xiang Yuan, regardless of whether you agree or not, I’m divorcing you. If you don’t sign, I will reclaim the little stock you have left. Think about it.”

If he had known fear, he shouldn’t have been messing around behind her back. Everything that has happened is his own making, she doesn’t owe him an apology.

Xiang Yuan surged forward, grabbing An Man’s shoulders, lowering himself as he pleaded, “Aman, I know I was wrong. I really do. Please give me another chance. From now on, I will listen to you in everything. Chengcheng is our only son, no matter what he becomes. We shouldn’t divorce, okay?”

An Man lifted her eyelids, giving him a glance, then laugh coldly. “Xiang Yuan, if you had known this would happen, why bother in the first place. Did you ever consider who has been helping you from behind all along? Now, I have no interest in arguing with you, if you’re sensible, sign the divorce agreement promptly.”

Having said that, she shrugged his hand off, looking impatient.

Xiang Yuan gazed at her, his hands clenching into fists at his sides.

With fury in his eyes, before anyone could react, he reached out and grabbed An Man’s throat.

“Xiang Yuan, what are you doing?”

The sudden situation shocked Zhou Qi. “Xiang Yuan, let go of Aman now, have you gone mad?”

The unexpected development caught Zhao Xuan, who had just been spectating, off guard, and she hurried to intervene.

“Yes, Xiang Yuan, don’t forget that this is the An Family’s house.”

“Cough, cough-” An Man’s bag slipped from her hand onto the floor; her hands flapped against Xiang Yuan’s chest, her face turned red.

“Let…let me go, Xiang Yuan, you… this madman!”

Squeezed by the neck, An Man’s chest rose and fell as if she would suffocate the next second.

Xiang Yuan’s grip on her neck tightened, furiously yelling, “An Man, I’ve been begging you humbly and you’re still not satisfied? You’ve taken everything from me. What do you want me to do, you heartless woman?”

“Xiang Yuan, let her go, release Aman right now.”

Zhou Qi and Zhao Xuan rushed forward to pull Xiang Yuan away, but were flung aside by him.

Zhou Qi was a bit older than him, and nearly fell when he pushed her. The entire incident took place so abruptly.

“Mom, are you alright?” Zhao Xuan supported her and asked.

Zhou Qi’s face was a bit pale, but she waved her hand, “I’m fine.”

Over there, An Man’s face turned purple with Xiang Yuan’s face twisted in rage as he seemed ready to choke her to death.

“Let go…” An Man’s strength gradually faded, and she struggled weakly.

“Somebody come, quick.” Seeing the situation was getting worse, Zhao Xuan shouted at the door.

The gardeners and servants outside heard the noise and rushed in.

“Lady An.”

Zhao Xuan, “Quick, pull Xiang Yuan away.”

Only then did the servants see what was going on in the living room, they were shocked.

What…what was happening?

A couple of strong gardeners rushed forward to pull Xiang Yuan away without hesitation.

“Let go of me, let go.”

When Xiang Yuan released his grip, An Man fell to the floor, exhausted.

Zhou Qi quickly walked over and helped her up, “Aman, are you okay?”

An Man held her throat, gasping for breath, doubling over and coughing.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

“Hold him.” Zhao Xuan glanced at Xiang Yuan and saw his angry expression. She ordered coldly.

“Yes.”

Xiang Yuan glared at An Man, his eyes fierce as he continued to struggle.

After An Man regained her breath, she quickly walked over to Xiang Yuan and slapped him without a second thought.

“Slap-”

She really put her strength into that slap.

Xiang Yuan’s head was jerked to one side, leaving him dazed.

The burning pain stimulated his nerves, and his cheek immediately swelled up.

Before he could recover, An Man’s second slap followed.

“Slap-”

This time, Xiang Yuan finally reacted.

“An Man, what are you doing?”

He glared at her, and the words were squeezed through gritted teeth.

This crazy woman.

An Man’s eyes were wide with fury. The pain in her neck reminded her of the man in front of her, who had almost killed her just before.

“Xiang Yuan, let me tell you, I am divorcing you, and you won’t get a single piece of the Xiang Group’s stocks. I’m going to leave you with nothing. You’ll live a life worse than a dog’s.”

She said in a hoarse voice, this time she was truly determined.

Since he dared to think of killing her, she didn’t have to be kind to him anymore.

Zhou Qi had a splitting headache from all the noise. She walked over to An Man and pulled her aside, “Aman, we can talk about it properly. What is this divorce all about?”

For a family like theirs, a divorce would stir up gossip and push them into the spotlight. The An family can’t afford such a scandal.

An Man’s expression was cold: “Mom, you saw how he just treated me. Do I wait for him to find a woman outside and then kill me if we don’t divorce?”

Zhou Qi was rendered speechless, after all, it did seem like Xiang Yuan had murderous intentions just now.

Alas, how had such a good marriage ended up with such disagreement and bitterness?

“What’s all this noise about?”

A hoarse voice came from the door.

“Grandpa.”

Zhao Xuan was nearest to the doorway, and saw Grandpa An coming. She respectfully called out to him.

The steward took the old man into the drawing-room. The sight of the room made the old man’s face go gloomy.

He had just sat down when Xiang Yuan couldn’t help but speak.

“Grandpa, you have to do something for me. An Man wants to divorce me and she also wants me to have nothing left.” He said, blaming An Man first.

An Man gave him a cold look, regretting deep in her heart.

How could she have been so blind as to marry such a scumbag?

Grandpa An glanced at him lightly, then focused his gaze on An Man.

“An Man, tell me your side of the story.”

An Man walked straight up to him and said, “Grandpa, Xiang Yuan has affairs outside our marriage, he also vowed that when he gets everything from the Xiang Group, he will divorce me. I caught him red-handed when he said those things. Besides, he just tried to strangle me. My mother and sister-in-law can testify to that.”

At her statement, Xiang Yuan grew tense, not daring to meet Grandpa An’s eyes.

The steward glanced at Xiang Yuan and seeing him look down, he knew that An Man’s words were true.

He laughed inwardly, Xiang Yuan was truly a hopeless cause.

After a while, Grandpa An slowly said, “Xiang Yuan, is there any truth in what An Man said?”

“I…” Xiang Yuan stammered.

His reaction was tantamount to admitting guilt.

Grandpa An’s eyebrows tightened, and he said in a stern voice, “Xiang Yuan, since you’ve done all these things, you must bear the consequences.”

“But…” Xiang Yuan protested unhappily. But before he could finish, Grandpa An looked at An Man and interrupted him.
