Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 236 Killing the Cuckoo (51)

On the other hand, it was purely coincidental that Yan Zhen and Fang Yi met Li Tingyi at the hospital.

Yan Zhen formally filed for divorce from Fang Yihe two months ago.

Like all men who are unwilling to divorce, Fang Yi initially chose to run away, playing dead and refusing to respond.

Later, when there was no way to avoid it, he started making excuses to delay, saying he had something to do today and something to do tomorrow, but he just refused to go through with the divorce proceedings.

This was somewhat unexpected for Yan Zhen.

She had assumed that Fang Yi, such a respectable and cultured man, would refuse a divorce outright instead of acting like a rogue and using avoidance to delay the inevitable.

After two months of delay, Yan Zhen simply borrowed a few burly staff members from Qi Zhaoyi's studio to practice standing meditation downstairs in Fangjia Community.

The people she brought neither went upstairs to knock on Fang Yihe's door to harass him, nor did they use violence to threaten or intimidate him. Five or six muscular men in vests stood in a row downstairs in the community with cold faces, instantly attracting the attention of the neighbors coming and going.

The original owner lived in the community after getting married, and many neighbors knew her. Seeing her in this posture, many people came up to ask what had happened.

Yan Zhen simply smiled and remained silent.

But this scene was viewed differently by Fang Yihe upstairs.

Although Yan Zhen didn't say anything, he couldn't help but speculate among his neighbors. People's words are a fearsome thing, and he was afraid that rumors would spread and make things up, making it impossible for him to live in the community anymore.

Left with no other choice, Fang Yihe agreed to the divorce. Accompanied by staff from Qi Zhaoyi's studio, she and Yan Zhen went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to fill out the divorce application. After a one-month cooling-off period, they went to collect their divorce certificate.

The day after the couple filed for divorce, Fang's mother, who had been in a coma for several months, miraculously woke up.

But as the doctors predicted, she became paralyzed on one side.

Half of his body was numb and he couldn't move it. His mouth was so crooked that he couldn't hold his saliva in, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

The first thing she did upon waking up was to stammer that she wanted to see her daughter-in-law.

Fang Yihe didn't dare to let her know about their divorce, but the old lady was a very shrewd person. She quickly sensed something from Fang Yihe's evasive attitude and insisted on seeing Yan Zhen.

Fang Yihe had no choice but to humble herself and beg Yan Zhen. After "friendly negotiations," Fang Yihe agreed to give Yan Zhen her usual car in exchange for an equal division of property, in exchange for Yan Zhen visiting her mother at the hospital.

When Yan Zhen saw Fang's mother at the hospital, the old lady burst into tears. She drooled three times for every sentence she spoke. With her only movable hand, she grabbed Yan Zhen's clothes and begged her to forgive Fang Yihe.

Yan Zhen remained silent, simply looking at her with gentle and calm eyes.

When the half-hour visiting time ended and Yan Zhen left the ward, Fang's mother, who had been forced to give up, cried heartbrokenly behind her.

Then came the scene where the two saw Li Tingyi, who had become emaciated and almost completely changed, being publicly scolded by Li's father downstairs in the hospital ward.

The two walked to the hospital parking lot, and Yan Zhen extended his hand to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi paused, then asked, "What?"

"car key."

Fang Yihe: "..."

He took out the car keys and handed them to Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen took it and waved it in his hand: "I have something to do, so I won't see you off."

She opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, and put her hands on the steering wheel to test the feel.

Fang Yi and her car. This car, which cost over a million yuan, was purchased a year ago and is very well maintained. Yan Zhen is very satisfied with both the model and its condition.

However, considering that Fang Yi and Li Tingyi had done many things in this car, Yan Zhen felt a bit uncomfortable and decided to sell it.

Her studio is about to open a branch, and she's a little short on funds, so she's using the proceeds from selling her car to make up for it.

Yan Zhen was driving back to his studio when Qi Zhaoyi called. As soon as he answered, he heard Qi Zhaoyi ask, "Are you alright?"

Yan Zhen looked completely bewildered: "Why do you ask that?"

Qi Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems you haven't seen the news yet."

Yan Zhen sensed the juicy gossip: "Something interesting? What happened? Who's in trouble?"

"Your ex-husband and his ex-boyfriend."

Yan Zhen became interested, turned his car into the parking lot of a nearby park, and opened his social media to find a new development in the Li Tingyi marriage fraud case that had caused a sensation in the city six months ago.

Li Tingyi posted a video using the promotional account of her bankrupt company. The video was blocked and taken down less than ten minutes after it was posted because it was too explicit and shocking.

However, when the incident between Li Tingyi and He Xiaolian became a big deal, netizens followed Li Tingyi's company's promotional account to gain more than 300,000 followers just to watch the drama unfold.

The video was recorded and screenshotted, and after it was taken down from the platform, it began to circulate on various channels and quickly became a trending topic.

At the same time, Li Tingyi also posted three censored versions of the videos on his WeChat Moments.

The video was cleverly blurred, covering up the private parts but clearly showing the faces of the two people involved.

Fang Yihe suddenly became a sensation.

"Li Tingyi, the woman involved in the marriage fraud and threats case, spoke out for the first time in six months, posting private videos of herself and her boyfriend on a platform. Her boyfriend is a professor at a well-known research institute and is suspected to be married."

Yan Zhen scrolled through the video posted by Li Tingyi on his WeChat Moments, and then recalled seeing Li Tingyi at the hospital an hour earlier, whose expression at the time was indescribable.

Combining the two, she could roughly guess Li Tingyi's mental journey from breaking down to giving up entirely.

Wow, what a spectacular drama of lovers turning against each other and tearing each other apart.

Yan Zhen was engrossed in watching the drama unfold, but when she logged out of her WeChat Moments, she found more than a dozen "greetings" from relatives.

Relatives from both the Gao and Fang families came to her, the ex-wife of the gossipmonger, under the guise of showing concern, to inquire about firsthand information.

Yan Zhen silenced his phone and didn't reply to a single message.

-

For the next two weeks, Yan Zhen devoted most of her energy to opening a branch of her studio, occasionally keeping an eye on the follow-up to Li Tingyi's revelations.

After Fang Yihe's identity was exposed, he experienced the same online harassment and workplace disturbances that Li Tingyi had gone through before.

Moreover, because of his status as a "professor at a well-known research institute," this matter not only went viral on social media platforms, but also attracted the attention of many official media outlets, and some reporters even conducted detailed reports on the matter.

Under pressure from all sides, Fang Yihe resigned and issued a statement saying that she and Li Tingyi had broken up half a year ago and that she had signed a divorce agreement with her wife, trying to extricate herself from the online bullying in this way.

On the night the statement was released, Li Tingyi responded to Fang Yihe's statement by posting their chat history from their relationship.

The chat logs detailed Fang Yi's process of "choosing a wife"—from setting his sights on his ex-wife Gao Li, to deliberately approaching her, pursuing her, and then coaxing her into marriage and pregnancy.

Li Tingyi ruthlessly tore away Fang Yi's last fig leaf in this way.

"I only failed in my attempt to commit marriage fraud. Fang Yihe not only committed marriage fraud, but also tricked his ex-wife into having a child."
