Chapter 260: Divorce

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It had been many years since she had eaten spicy food. Yuan Shu realized that her tolerance for spicy food hadn’t deteriorated. At least, she felt that the Hunan cuisine in front of her was acceptable. On the other hand, Shi Xiao ate very little, perhaps because it was too spicy and didn’t suit his taste. Moreover, he drank water frequently. It was obvious that it was spicy for him, but he tried not to show it.

It was rare for Yuan Shu to see Shi Xiao not putting on airs. She was amused by him and couldn’t help but say, “If you can’t eat spicy food, we can order some other dishes.”

Shi Xiao said with a frown, “No need.”

Yuan Shu felt that Shi Xiao was really stubborn.

Shi Xiao changed the topic. “You said that you have something to tell me. What is it?”

After Yuan Shu put down her chopsticks and took a sip of tea, she cleared her throat and started talking about serious matters.

“You probably know about the comments about me on the Internet recently.”

Shi Xiao nodded slightly. Yuan Shu had been taken away from the filming event location by the Finance and Revenue Bureau. Before Shi Xiao and Jiang Chen could suppress this news, it had already spread on the Internet and the netizens were discussing it. “This is the true colors of capitalists. What’s the use of having a good appearance? Isn’t money the most important thing in the end?”

Yuan Shu’s reputation was damaged.

However, based on Yuan Shu’s personality, she shouldn’t mind these discussions. Why was she using this matter to discuss things with Shi Xiao so solemnly today?

Shi Xiao had some guesses, but Yuan Shu quickly answered his doubts. “Actually, this is a very good opportunity.”

Shi Xiao vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he frowned and asked, “What opportunity?”

Yuan Shu said, “It’s a good opportunity to announce our divorce to the public.”

“I don’t agree.” Shi Xiao rejected this idea almost instantaneously.

He gritted his teeth as he looked at Yuan Shu and asked, “Do you want to divorce me so badly? Is it because of Jiang Chen?”

Yuan Shu was puzzled. “Why must it be for someone else? I originally planned to wait until the time was right. We would pretend that we didn’t get along and break up, then announce our divorce. Wasn’t this planned long ago?”

Shi Xiao sat upright, but didn’t look at Yuan Shu as he said, “I don’t think our cooperation needs to end, especially in your current situation. Divorce will only bring you more trouble and inconvenience.”

“Your software company is in a precarious situation and your television drama won’t be filmed. As for Yushu Buyi, although the new product has just been released, with the Down Ridge Clothes Workshop eyeing you, you still need my help, and I also need your cooperation.”

Shi Xiao didn’t want to show that he cared too much, so he added, “So 1 don’t think it’s appropriate to end our relationship for the time being. We should wait until these problems are resolved before planning.”

Shi Xiao emphasized the last few words.

Yuan Shu replied, “I know your concerns, but now that my reputation has been damaged, it will affect the Shi Corporation’s share price. It’s actually the best time to spread the news that we’re not getting along.”

Shi Xiao looked at Yuan Shu as he tried to guess what she was thinking.

However, Yuan Shu’s expression was very calm, and there was no emotion in her eyes. This made Shi Xiao unable to figure out why she had said what she had said today. Perhaps it was because of Jiang Chen.

Shi Xiao couldn’t help but feel suspicious. With Jiang Chen’s personality, how could he let Yuan Shu leave so easily? Could it be that the two of them had reached an agreement, so Yuan Shu wanted to take the opportunity to leave? In that case, everything made sense. No wonder she wanted to terminate their relationship at this time.

Yuan Shu’s eyebrows relaxed and she said with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to think so much for my sake and suggest that leaving the Shi family at this time is very disadvantageous to me. However, 1 made this decision after much consideration.”

Shi Xiao asked, “What do you mean?”

Yuan Shu said seriously, “Don’t you think that too many things have happened recently? It’s as if there’s an invisible hand arranging things behind the scenes. These things not only target the Shi Corporation, but also me..”
