The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

The policemen continued to observe this couple whose relationship was in danger and also tried to convince Mo Yixuan not to agitate her any further since her life was at stake.

“Come back!” Mo Yixuan said, his eyes cold. He stood upright with his hands behind his back, his tone commanding.

After living with this woman for one year, he knew what she was like and knew that she was just creating a scene and that she did not have the guts to jump.

Xia Yuwei’s lips were curled coldly. She looked angrily and resentfully at Mo Yixuan.

“Didn’t you want to get a divorce? Do you want to lose everything? If the child and I die together, wouldn’t that be exactly what you want?” She raised her voice and threatened him.

She knew that he would be the most concerned about the child.

The moment he heard her mention the child, his heart ached and he held his fingers in an unnatural manner.

“Come down first.” He ordered her again and took a step forward. He only wanted to snatch the child in her arms away. He knew that she wouldn’t dare to jump off the building but he was afraid that she might throw the child down in a fit of anger.

“Miss Xia, please don’t be so upset. Your husband already said over the phone that he would not divorce you.” The policeman at the side immediately continued the conversation in a bid to divert her attention.

“We won’t get a divorce.” Mo Yixuan said as he continued to walk forward. He had calmed down and started to speak more sincerely.

Xia Yuwei did not look like she was going to move back from the ledge and the child in her arms was crying so hard that his face was completely flushed which made him look very pitiful.

“You must give me cash to spend in the future!” She scoffed as she stated her condition. She would not jump off the building but had only pulled this stunt to state her conditions.

Mo Yixuan nodded.

“I agree.”

“And, you are never to meet He Xiyan again for the rest of your lives.”

“I agree!”

….

Mo Yixuan agreed to all her conditions.

When Xia Yuwei was distracted, the policemen at the side finally used this opportunity to pull her off the ledge and snatched the child away from her. The crisis was finally averted.

Mo Yixuan took the child and headed downstairs. The policemen helped to support Xia Yuwei who was crying so badly as though she had suffered through and said words of consolation.

The crowd gathered downstairs chattered excitedly and the media had also rushed over to conduct interviews and to capture footage of rich people making a scene.

This was an era where the internet was widespread and ‘self-media’ was everywhere. In less than 30 minutes, this incident had spread all across Weibo, Wechat and other forms of social media. The internet media quickly released their own reports thereafter.

This couple had held such an extravagant wedding and now, they were already talking about getting divorced when it had only been a few months since they got married. It even got to the point where the woman threatened to jump off the building with the child. The netizens would not let such a scandal slide this easily and the comments were full of contempt.

——

He Xiyan sat on the balcony on the third level of the castle, and the sunlight flooded through the window to shine on her thin figure. This sunlight seemed like a warm and golden jacket on her.

She threw the phone in her hand onto a leather chair at the side and she looked coldly at the mountains in the distance. She pursed her lips bitterly and she felt extremely uncomfortable by what she had read.

She had read the news online and saw the pictures that showed Xia Yuwei holding the child, threatening to jump off the building.

She only knew today that their marriage was on the rocks and the situation did not change even after they had a child. They were still talking about divorce after one year of marriage.

Since things had turned out this way, then what was the point of her leaving one year ago? What was the point of all the abuse and suffering she had to put up with?

She stood up when she recalled the past and sniffed as tears ran down her cheeks uncontrollably.
