The farce at the bridal shop concluded with Lu Cheng's nonchalant words, "Put it on my tab."
Su Yang, on his way home, was still completely baffled.
Sitting in Yun Xiyue's car, he repeatedly and meticulously checked the clothes he was wearing no less than eight hundred times!
He even secretly felt the edges and corners of his underwear several times!
But the result was still nothing!
That card, which had been in his possession for years without ever being lost or touched, was gone the very first day he took it out?
He even remembered the card being in his pocket when he changed clothes.
Yet, precisely when he needed it, when he wanted to show off his power by swiping it, the card was gone?
Impossible!
It was a five-hundred-million-yuan Supreme Black Gold Card!
Even if he considered the possibility that the card was stolen, it would have to be by a master thief among master thieves; he always kept it close to his body, and there were only a few people in Dragon Country who could get close enough to him to take that card!
He racked his brain, replaying every detail of the day, but still couldn't figure out why.
Ultimately, he could only attribute it all to possibly thinking too much lately, being under too much stress, and feeling a bit dazed.
So, he accidentally lost the card?
There was also a very important question: he had planned for all the wedding expenses to come from this card.
Now that the card was lost, and he had no money, how was he going to hold the wedding?
"Ugh, it gets lost just when I need it… how unlucky!"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, money is just an external possession!"
Su Yang's powerful heart, belonging to a God of War, quickly adjusted his mindset and began to thump again!
"What if the card is lost? I have plenty of connections! Plenty of… creditors!"
"It's just money for a wedding? A piece of cake!"
He thought of Hangzhou's Richest Man, who was always "responsive" to his requests!
"Since he was so enthusiastic last time, insisting on giving me five hundred million as pocket money."
"Then now, asking him to prepare a new wedding gift for me, and help me host this wedding grandly, shouldn't be too much, right?"
"After all… I didn't spend a single cent from that previous card! If it wasn't spent, it doesn't count as given!"
"Now that the card is lost, that's between him and the bank; it has nothing to do with me, Su Yang!"
"Right! That's what I'll do! Tomorrow, I'll call him and tell him to go to the bank to report it lost and get a replacement!"
"And while he's at it, he can prepare an even more generous wedding gift for me!"
"Hahaha! I'm so damn clever!"
...Meanwhile, on the other side.
After Yun Xiyue, who had been focused on driving, returned home.
She finally made her final decision!
She was going to divorce Su Yang, this guy who only knew how to boast and daydream!
Anyway, such a marriage was meaningless, and she didn't want to maintain it for another moment.
As she walked through the door, her mother immediately approached her with a beaming smile.
"My darling daughter, you're finally back!"
She grabbed Yun Xiyue's hand without explanation, ignored Su Yang, and directly pulled her daughter into her bedroom, then slammed the door shut with a "bang," shutting out her annoying good-for-nothing son-in-law. Inside the bedroom, Lin Meizhu eagerly began to inquire.
"How was it, how was it? Tell me quickly, Mom! How was… uh, trying on wedding dresses today?"
Yun Xiyue looked at her mother's expression.
It was as if she couldn't wait to package her up and send her to Lu Cheng's bed, right?
She knew that Lu Cheng's "coincidental" appearance at that bridal shop today.
Nine times out of ten, it was the masterpiece of her far-sighted good mother, who had tipped him off!
She took a deep breath and spoke slowly in a cold and resolute tone:
"Mom."
"I've decided."
"I'm going to divorce Su Yang."
"What? Divorce? Really! That's wonderful! Oh no, no, no, I mean… sigh, daughter, you've finally come to your senses!"
Lin Meizhu was first stunned by this "great news," then an uncontrollable surge of joy erupted on her face!
But after Yun Xiyue glossed over what happened today, she felt something was off.
Her small, darting eyes, gleaming with shrewdness and calculation, began an unusually circuitous analysis:
"Oh, my silly daughter! Although Mom also thinks that Su Yang really isn't worthy of you, and you should have divorced him long ago."
"But…" She changed her tone, a mysterious smile appearing on her face, as if she had already seen through all of heaven's secrets.
"Daughter, Mom feels like I've discovered a huge secret!"
"Lu Cheng seems to be more interested in… well, a respectable married woman like you, who already belongs to someone else?"
"Think about it! This time, I already laid it all out for him, telling him you were married, and what was the result?"
"Not only did he not show the slightest disdain or displeasure, but he became even more attentive and determined to have you! He spent money on you without even batting an eye!"
"What does this show?"
Lin Meizhu slapped her thigh, concluding with a triumphant tone of "I understand everything now":
"This shows that a man like Young Master Lu, who stands at the pinnacle of the pyramid and lacks nothing, has long grown tired of those common, vulgar women who throw themselves at him!"
"What he pursues is excitement, is taboo, is that… supreme sense of conquest, taking something from someone else's hands!"
"So, my silly daughter!"
"Not only can we not divorce Su Yang now! On the contrary, we must keep him for the time being!"
"Let him continue to stay in our home, to be your nominal husband! To be a backdrop that highlights your fidelity!"
"This way, not only will it further ignite Young Master Lu's desire for conquest and competitiveness towards you, making him even more unable to resist you!"
"And keeping Su Yang to do our laundry, cook, clean, and be a free nanny without having to pay him, isn't that good too?"
"To be honest, a good-for-nothing like him, who is clumsy and knows nothing, if he truly left our Yun Family, he probably couldn't even support himself and would starve to death outside in less than three days!"
"Right now, we are also being benevolent, keeping him, giving him food, giving him a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Where else would he find such good treatment outside?"
"He should be thanking us!"
Yun Xiyue: "…"
She listened to her mother's analysis, which was nothing short of shocking and worldview-shattering.
She was completely dumbfounded.
Stunned.
Speechless.
For the first time, she realized… she might never have truly understood her great mother.
What kind of strange things were actually in her head?
And, the key was that it even made a little sense… She was too tired to argue with her mother anymore, so she wearily stood up, walked to the soft, large bed, lay back, and closed her eyes.
"Forget it, let it all be destroyed!"
"Whatever happens, happens!"
