“Cen Shuang is the Zhuang family’s daughter-in-law. The Zhuang family should treat her well. If you don’t mind me saying this, Ms. Cen, I think you should get a lawyer.” Lan Yibai smiled gently. Her every move revealed her good manners and generosity.
Cen Shuang did not wait for Cen Zhu to open her mouth and said straightforwardly, “Thank you, mother.”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other in tacit understanding for the first time. Cen Shuang actually did not feel any sense of alienation or discomfort. Seeing this, Cen Zhu could only thank her and feel even more wronged on behalf of Cen Shuang. Cen Shuang was being so submissive toward the Zhuang family because of her. She did not want to see her younger sister live under someone’s roof like she had been doing up till this point. Therefore, she had to find a way to take Cen Shuang out of the Zhuang family.

She must be dreaming.”Ji Qiuhua took the court document and looked at Cen Zhu’s name on it. She was so angry that she laughed. It was fine if she wanted a divorce, but the Lu family had the final say.
“When I married her back then, it was also because of the Cen family’s status. If she had not clung so obstinately to Ah Yang, do you think I would have allowed her into our family? Now that she’s bankrupt, she wants to divorce and split the Lu family’s assets without even thinking about it. She can’t even give birth to an child. I wonder how much resources the Lu family will waste on her.”
Ji Qiuhua’s harsh words continued. Lu Hongyang frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “Mom, don’t blame her because she hasn’t gotten pregnant yet.”
“Who else can I blame? Should I blame others? Miao Miao is now pregnant with a child of Lu family blood. Quickly divorce Cen Zhu so you can make Miao Miao your legitimate wife.” Ji Qiuhua’s hatred for Cen Zhu was boundless. If it were not for the fact that a union with the Cen family benefited the Lu family back then, would she have allowed Cen Zhu to stay in her home for so long?
In the end, Lu Hongyang did not say anything and only nodded.
In the Zhuang family’s villa, Cen Shuang finished scrubbing Zhuang Hong’s body and skillfully buttoned his clothes. Cen Zhu, who was beside her, could not help but frown when he saw this. “Will he really wake up?”
She had never seen her little sister so capable. The person lying in bed actually needed her sister to take care of him, including cleaning him and dressing him. She felt sorry for Cen Shuang.
“Doctor Bo said it’s possible, but I think this is pretty good too.” Cen Shuang had a smile on her face as she lowered her head to look at the man in front of her. He was like a kitten without claws and teeth. Aside from his pale face, Zhuang Hong was also quite good-looking. She could vent her anger to him when she was in a bad mood, and the Zhuang family spoiled her. Her days here had been pretty good so far.
“I know that you pity him, but who will pity you?” From Cen Zhu’s point of view, it was because she was kind and pitied Zhuang Hong that she stayed in the Zhuang family.
“Sis, you’ve already met the lawyer. When is the court hearing?” Although the person in front of her was her sister, she still did not want to hear others talk about Zhuang Hong like that. Taking care of Zhuang Hong was troublesome, but the Zhuang family had never mistreated her. They knew that she had married him for the Cen family’s house. This was also a great place for hiding from gossip, but that also did not mean that she felt nothing for this place.

It’s just that the things that the Cen family gave to the Lu family will probably be hard to get back. But as long as we break off all ties with the Lu family, we can still earn more money in the future.”
“No matter what, as long as we get evidence that they transferred their assets, the Cen family will have the capital to turn things around.” With money, they could re-establish the Cen Corporation.
Cen Zhu’s eyes reddened. “When the time comes, I will definitely take you away from the Zhuang family.”
Leave the Zhuang family? Cen Shuang gripped the towel tightly. “We will definitely be able to revive the Cen family’s legacy.”
The Cen family was not only their hope, it was also their motivation to move forward. Cen Zhu nodded with puffy eyes. This could only happen after she divorced Lu Hongyang. She would do it for the Cen family and for herself. It was also tough on her younger sister, as she had to live with a vegetable. Although the Zhuang family treated her well, she could not bear it if her sister lived like that for the rest of her life. Her gaze fell on Zhuang Hong, who was lying on the bed. Cen Zhu was stunned. She said, “Shuang Shuang, he seems to have moved.”
Cen Shuang was stunned for a moment. The next second, she quickly examined the man on the bed. Cen Zhu also rushed over, “I saw his hand move just now. I heard that people in this state can sometimes hear what’s going on around them. Did he hear our conversation?” Was he going to wake up because he was angry?
Cen Zhu felt a little guilty and looked at Cen Shuang. He thought that Cen Shuang would be very happy that Zhuang Hong was going to wake up. However, he did not expect Cen Shuang to frown and stand by the bed. She looked at Zhuang Hong on the bed with a thoughtful expression. It looked like she was going to say something like, “How can you wake up? You should sleep forever.”
The day after Cen Zhu talked to the lawyer, the Lu family received divorce papers. Ji Qiuhua looked at it and was so angry that she tore it up.
