- Guan Residence.
Song Xia pulled her suitcase from her room and was ready to go when someone immediately stopped her way.
''Mrs. Guan, please leave my way, I don't want to stay here for any longer!''
Song Xia coldly said to Lu Xioami (Guan Shan's mother) who stood in front of her, blocking her way.
Lu Xioami anxiously said, "Xiao Xia! Why are you suddenly leaving?! Is there a reason?! Did you have a fight with Xiao Shan?!
"That foolish brat! I will pull his ears and make him kneel down to you and apologize to you! Please don't leave our house for such a-''
Before Lu Xiaomi could say 'reason', Song Xia had already made her way to the door.
She pushed the door open and left the Guan Residence with large strides.
Lu Xioami came back to her senses but when she turned around, Song Xia had already left.
She was dumbfounded before she quickly called her son.
"Xiao Shan, that Song wench actually left the house! What exactly did you do this time?! You should at least wait until the Song Corporation become ours!"
- Song Villa
Song Xia held her suitcase and entered the familiar villa.
After her marriage, Song Xia was angry at her parents for forcing her to marry Guan Shan so she did not come here for a whole year.
Ringing the doorbell, Song Xia suddenly smiled, thinking of something.
She used to love her ex-boyfriend, Long Chen. But Long Chen's family and her Song Family were enemies.
Now that she decided to give divorce to Guan Shan, she'll talk to her parents about their marriage!
Even if enemies shouldn't be forgiven, she had a little bit of hope that her parents would agree to her request since she was their precious daughter.
Song Xia was lost in her thoughts and only regained her senses when the door opened and she saw her mother.
"Mom.." Song Xia called out to Li Wuxi who was dumbfounded at her arrival.
"Xia.."
When Li Wuxi heard her voice, she immediately hugged her and couldn't help but tear up, at the sight of her baby daughter after a long time.
''Xiao Xia, you're home after such a long time! Mommy's so happy! By the way, how's my precious baby?''
Li Wuxi asked as she smiled at her daughter warmly.
Song Xia looked at her with reddening eyes.
She regretted how she had actually blamed her parents for arranging her marriage when they were only thinking of her good, though the marriage didn't work out well in the end.
"I'm fine, Mom.. Let's go inside first.."
Li Wuxi immediately led her inside and was about to say something when she saw Song Xia's suitcase.
She asked excitedly, ''Xia, why did you bring a suitcase? Are you going to live here for a few days? That's great! I'm so happy!''
Song Xia couldn't help but chuckle a little as she said softly, ''I missed you very much, mom.''
Li Wuxi passed the suitcase to a maid and ordered her to clean up Song Xia's previous room and keep the luggage there.
She then held her daughter's hands and sat her down beside her as she asked, ''How is your husband doing?''
Song Xia's expression darkened as she heard her say 'your husband'.
She bit her lower lip as she couldn't bring up about her cheater husband and his mistress.
Song Xia gathered all her courage and angrily said, ''Mom, he's doing very well and will keep doing well without me!"
Li Wuxi frowned as she sighed, "Did you two fight? Xia, there must be a misunderstanding between you and Xiao Shan! You can't just leave home due to a lovers' spat!"
Song Xia became annoyed as she yelled, "Mom, what do you even know! It's not a lovers' fight! He literally cheated on me!"
Li Wuxi was shocked by the revelation. She then heard Song Xia continue while crying, "Mom, you know what, I just found out today that he... he was cheating on me..
"He betrayed me. He had a mistress in his company working as his secretary. He... he never even saw me as his wife..
"He only wanted to have the Song Family's inheritance and take over father's company. I gave up my life and love for him, but he never.. he even called me ugly..''
Li Wuxi was greatly startled. She quickly held Song Xia on her embrace and patted her back as she consoled her.
''My baby Xia, you've suffered a lot! We're sorry, dear, it's all our fault! If we hadn't forced you to marry him, this day wouldn't have come..."
Her expression turned cold as she said:
"Don't worry, I'll talk to your father and send a lawyer to Guan Residence. We'll make sure that you get someone who you deserve! Not someone like that bastard!''
Song Xia pulled away from her mother's embrace and said with a smile, ''Thank you so much, mom. You're the best!''
She paused before continuing, ''But there's no need to send someone over. I'm planning to go to the Guan Residence personally.''
Li Wuxi smiled worriedly and said, ''How can you face him after he did all that? Are you really okay going there?"
Song Xia gave a reassuring smile as she nodded her head.
Li Wuxi gently sighed, "If you want then, you can go there with Brother Han (A/N: Li Han, their family lawyer). I'll contact him to go over with you and taken care of this matter!''
Song Xia nodded with a smile. She suddenly said, "Mom, I have a favor to ask of you!"
Li Wuxi smiled back as she rubbed her head, "Tell Mother whatever your request is! As long as I can help, I'll try my best to fulfill it!"
Song Xia shyly said, "Mom, now that I'm getting divorced, can I get married to Brother Chen now? Please help me persuade Dad for this!"
Li Wuxi's smile froze. She awkwardly said, "Xiao Xia, this request.. I really can't do anything about it.."
Song Xia frowned as she complained, "Mom! You just said that you'll do whatever you can but you don't want to help me at all!"
Li Wuxi helplessly said, "Xiao Xia, actually.. Long Chen is getting married to Qiaoqiao.. So I can't help you with this."
Song Xia froze. "W-What did you just say, Mom?!"
Li Wuxi sighed as she took out an invitation card from somewhere and passed it to her. "Look at it yourself."
Song Xia received the card and looked at it. She froze when she saw the contents of the card...
'Long Chen Weds Zhang Qiao'
Immediately, her mind exploded as if she was struck by lightning!
