A better wife

I felt like I was about to throw up. My head started to spin. I even started to hear Lanfen’s wicked laughter inside my mind. How could Lan Jing demand that Aren divorce me? This was ridiculous! And for what reason? Because I wasn’t Chinese?!

“Waigong… I don’t want to be disrespectful, but are you shitting me?!” Aren snapped.

“Zhuyi ni de yuyan!” His grandfather thundered.

“Wo bu hui lihun!” Aren yelled.

I didn’t know what it all meant, but I hated it; I hated this whole situation. I looked at Lanfen and saw her sitting innocently as if she wasn’t the main cause of this uproar. I seriously wanted to punch her and knock her white teeth out of that fake humble smile!

Lan Jing took a deep breath before exclaiming, “Why are you so angry, xiaohouzi?! I’ve chosen Lanfen because you’ve already been in a relationship together! You broke up because of a misunderstanding, and misunderstandings are meant to be fixed!” He punched the table with his fist.

Aren burst into cold laughter before leaning toward his grandfather. “I can assure you, waigong, that things between Lanfen and me are beyond any type of fixing.” Then he glared mockingly at Lanfen.

She blinked her almond eyes at him, reaching out her hand to touch Aren’s arm. “It wasn’t my fault. If you just let me explain…”

“Don’t touch me,” Aren hissed icily, pushing her hand away.

Lanfen gasped as if he had hurt her hand, and Lan Jing roared, “Xiaohouzi!”

Aren’s lips formed a smile, but his eyes blazed dark and dangerously. He stood up and bowed to his grandfather. “I apologize, waigong.”

“I forgive you, xiaohouzi. Now, as for

Aren’s firm tone resonated within the room. “I wanted to apologize because I won’t divorce Cora, and I certainly won’t marry Lanfen. Don’t try to manipulate me or bribe me because I will not let anyone control my life like that. If you refuse to make me an heir this way, then be it. Lan Diamond Corporation is doing fine without your support.” He bowed once more before reaching for
