When she got a call from Fu Chengye, Tang Xinyan was having a photoshoot for Director Hou’s new movie, “The Legend of a Beauty”.
It was five o’clock in the afternoon, and Tang Xinyan was back from work. She drove to the Fu family’s mansion.
The Fu family’s mansion was located in the most prestigious area of the mountainside to the south of An Town. That area was the symbol of one’s status in An Town.
In front of the mansion, there was a crystal clear lake, a neatly trimmed lawn and a garden where all kinds of flowers bloomed. There was even a big mountain behind the mansion. The surroundings were soothing, beautiful, spacious and luxurious.
Fine and delicious food was served on the dinner table with vintage carvings in the dining room.
Every member of the Fu family was there except for Tang Xinyan.
Once Tang Xinyan stepped into the room, she heard He Meijuan resentfully reprimanding her. “Who do you think you are? How dare you let all of us wait for you? Where have you been these few days? You have not been picking up my calls. How dare you!”
Fu Chengye, who was walking down the stairs, bellowed, “Enough, all you have done the moment she stepped into the house is to ramble on and on. Who can stand a mother-in-law like you?”
Fu Chengye was wearing a set of black suit. Albeit being a middle-aged man, he was able to maintain his figure and not gain weight. He could still stand straight and his features were outstanding as usual.
He was the head of the family. He was a dignified and down-to-earth man, the man whom Tang Xinyan respected the most in the house.
After the meal, Tang Xinyan followed Fu Chengye into the study room.
She had already made up her mind to divorce Fu Sichen. She did not plan to hide it from her father-in-law as he was the only one who called the shots, which would determine whether she could get a divorce successfully.
After listening to Tang Xinyan’s story, Fu Chengye was infuriated and he slammed his hand on the table. “That brat has gone too far!” He stood up from the leather chair and grabbed the whip that was hanging on the wall. “Don’t you worry, Xinyan. I will go and teach that brat a lesson!”
“Dad, the reason I told you this is because I want a divorce.”
Fu Chengye stared at Tang Xinyan for a few seconds. He then said in a gruff voice, “Xinyan, I know that this is Sichen’s fault. Don’t you worry, I will make sure he breaks up with Tang Yurou and make him promise to be faithful to you!”
Before Tang Xinyan could say anything, Fu Chengye rushed downstairs with the whip.
Tang Xinyan did not expect things to develop in that way. She thought that her father-in-law would understand her feelings and agree to their divorce. She did not think that…
Even though she had not truly let Fu Sichen go, he had set her up to sleep with another man. He even hooked up with Tang Yurou. After all that, things could never be the same.

Downstairs.
Fu Chengye made Fu Sichen kneel on the floor. The long whip landed heavily on his back.
His white shirt was stained red in just a few seconds.
He Meijuan kept on begging Fu Chengye for mercy while Fu Sijing was so terrified that her face was as white as a sheet.
“How dare you betray Xinyan and not treasure her!”
“How dare you hook up with Tang Yurou behind her back!”
“How dare you set your own wife up!”
Each time Fu Chengye finished a sentence, he would whip Fu Sichen’s back with all his might.
The scene was bloody and everyone who was witnessing it trembled in horror.
He Meijuan’s tears were pouring out in continuous streams.
Tang Xinyan saw what was happening and her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly.
She walked up to him and grabbed onto Fu Chengye’s arm. “Dad, don’t beat him anymore!” She did not pity Fu Sichen, but even if he were to beat him to death, it would not make up for the pain he had brought her.
Her determination to get a divorce was rock solid!
Fu Chengye withdrew his whip and clutched his left chest. His face showed that he was in pain. “Xinyan, I’m old and I cannot withstand too much stress. I will be flying to Y Nation to sign an important document and will be back approximately one week later. While I’m gone, will you reconsider the divorce?”
Tang Xinyan could see that Fu Chengye’s heart was not well, she could only put aside the topic regarding their divorce for the time being.
