"Sinian, didn't you say you were busy tonight?" Ji Lingxiao, who was never curious, was somehow in a gossiping mood.
This young master always excused himself from invitations, but surprisingly showed up today. No one would believe there wasn't a reason.
Actually, the two were cousins with their mothers being sisters. Ji Lingxiao was born a month earlier than Zhou Sinian, but Sinian never called him brother.
Xu Jiayue had more interactions with the young master as they co-founded an Internet Technology Company. Recently, he heard some rumors: "Did you successfully divorce?" Except for this matter, he couldn't think of anything else that could affect the young master's mood. But something seemed off. An amicable divorce would be a successful venture, right? So why shouldn't he be happy?
Xu Jiayue was still piecing it together, while the other two were stunned into silence.
"Sinian, you really got a divorce? Will your grandfather agree to it?"
Everyone knew that the Zhou Family's patriarch was fond of his granddaughter-in-law.
But taking a look at his lost expression, everything became clear.
Ji Lingxiao's surprise was mixed with something else. After the initial shock, he composed himself. With a subtle smirk and a teasing glance at the crestfallen man: "Sinian, do you regret it now?"
"I don't." Zhou Sinian's voice was calm and steady.
He didn't.
How could he regret it?
The marriage was a mistake to start with. It simply got back on track now.
But why did his eyes sting?
He didn't want to disclose the matter of his divorce to these three so soon. Who knew they would be so astute to guess correctly?
However, he wouldn't reveal the particulars of the divorce to them.
Indeed, he manoeuvred the divorce proceedings initially, but in the end, he was dumped. If they learned of this, they would undoubtedly tease him. He couldn't reveal it for the sake of his dignity.
"If you don't regret, why look so morose? Accomplished your wish, you should be happy, shouldn't you? Come on, let's drink, celebrate your return to the single life." Ji Lingxiao intended not to dwell on this topic. Whether or not he regretted it, time would tell. There was no need to pursue an unknown answer eagerly.
That night, Zhou Sinian, who rarely drank, surprisingly didn't refuse the wine glasses handed by his friends. As a result, he got drunk.
Drunk Sinian differed greatly from his usually indifferent self.
He was like a well-behaved child, answering every question asked; if asked ten questions, he would answer at least five. And just so, the divorce story he tried hard to conceal was mostly guessed.
"Haha, did you hear that? The young master Zhou was dumped. It's definitely the most exciting news I heard this year." The best part? He finally got his revenge.
Having known Zhou for so many years, whenever the young master was present, all the women's attention was on him, costing Jiayue many romantic opportunities.
Xu Jiayue had been unhappy for a long time, and finally, someone sought revenge for him.
"Ye Nanxun finally did something smart. Tomorrow, I'll buy her a gift and congratulate her on escaping misery." The more Xu Jiayue spoke, the more feasible the plan seemed.
The other two partners rolled their eyes in unison.
Ji Lingxiao: "They just got divorced, and you're sending gifts to his ex-wife; aren't you afraid of being accused of stealing her."
Ye Chenxi: "And there's your company. Don't you want it anymore?"
Xu Jiayue became deflated: "I'm just happy, why are you guys dampening it?"
"Hmph" Ji Lingxiao laughed coldly, his expression contemptuous: "I'm just reminding you not to daydream."
