277: Chapter 277 Finish your talk before you leave!

"What? You said you were drugged?"

Su Xiumei's voice was filled with shock, and her face showed a rare expression of anger. "Who is so bold as to dare to scheme against someone from the Su Family! I must get to the bottom of this today!"

After saying this, she reached for her phone to make a call.

Just then, Lin Xiao's inner voice echoed in her mind.

[Does this even need investigating?]

[It's definitely that uncle-in-law of mine, Zhao Xuan!]

[Tsk, tsk, tsk. Zhao Xuan is fickle and tired of the new, and he can't stand the kind of work Aunt Su Li does. He's wanted a divorce for a long time.]

[But he is reluctant to give up the support from the Su Family and wants to take a share of the assets under Aunt Su Li's name.]

[That's why he schemed to drug Aunt Su Li, then staged a scene of catching her in the act, trying to make her the at-fault party in the divorce. Even if he can't make her leave with nothing, he wants to walk away with a large portion of the assets.]

...

Su Xiumei's expression darkened visibly.

How preposterous!

When that brat Zhao Xuan married Aunt Su Li, he was already punching above his weight by joining the Su Family.

Not to mention how much the Zhao Family has benefited in their development over the years thanks to this connection.

Now he actually dares to do something so despicable?

Does he really think the Su Family is easy to bully and has no temper?

Su Xiumei wanted to fly into a rage on the spot.

But she suddenly noticed the shocked expression on Aunt Su Li's face nearby.

Could it be that she can hear Lin Xiao's inner voice too?

They are blood relatives, so it wouldn't be entirely surprising if she could hear it.

Seeing that Aunt Su Li was about to ask, Su Xiumei quickly grabbed her arm and shook her head.

Aunt Su Li looked over, confused.

After thinking for a moment, Su Xiumei pulled Aunt Su Li aside and whispered a brief explanation about Lin Xiao's inner voice.

Aunt Su Li was even more astonished.

"There's actually such a magical thing?"

"Shh, keep it a secret."

Su Xiumei looked grave.

There was still a tacit understanding between the two sisters, and Aunt Su Li quickly caught on.

She raised her hand and gave Su Xiumei an OK gesture.

However, since she now knew that the person who drugged her was Zhao Xuan, she naturally wouldn't let him off the hook.

She walked quickly to Zhao Xuan and stomped on his face again!

This time, it wasn't just a simple trampling; she really stepped on him with force!

"My soon-to-be ex-husband, shouldn't you give me an explanation as to why you were able to find me here just as I returned to the country?"

Aunt Su Li narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in their depths.

Zhao Xuan's cheek ached, and being humiliated like this made his anger flare up.

"You bitch, you still have the nerve to ask me? You were here having an affair with someone, and you still..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, he felt the pressure on his face increase, and the pain instantly made him unable to continue.

"Think carefully before you speak!"

Aunt Su Li's voice was icy cold.

Zhao Xuan had no choice but to swallow his rising anger.

"You, you were promiscuous abroad, so I had people keep an eye on you. Is, is there a problem with that?"

Zhao Xuan's voice sounded weak.

It was clear he was guilty.

Aunt Su Li was growing impatient and couldn't be bothered to argue with Zhao Xuan anymore. "Zhao Xuan, it was you who drugged me, right?"

Zhao Xuan froze. He wanted to deny it, but when he met Aunt Su Li's sharp gaze, he chickened out.

After all, they had been a married couple, and he understood Aunt Su Li.

Aunt Su Li wouldn't say such things unless she was one hundred percent sure.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded with difficulty. "Yes, it was me."

"You want a divorce?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"..."

A flash of panic crossed Zhao Xuan's face, and he didn't continue to answer.

"You still want to resist?"

Aunt Su Li was also getting annoyed, and she pressed down harder with her foot.

But this time, Zhao Xuan just gritted his teeth tightly and refused to speak!

He let Aunt Su Li trample him, his attitude exceptionally firm!

Aunt Su Li was so angry that she could only kick Zhao Xuan in the chest and threatened, "You'd better think carefully. I still have the patience to listen to your explanation now. Don't wait until I'm annoyed!"

Zhao Xuan pursed his lips and turned his head away.

Su Xiumei was watching from the side, also very surprised.

In her impression, Zhao Xuan was not some iron-willed tough guy.

Could there be some hidden story behind this?

Lin Xiao sat at the table, resting his head on his hand, his eyes filled with a hint of amusement.

[The reason Zhao Xuan wants a divorce is indeed quite outrageous.]

[It's simply... eh? Wait, my phone is ringing.]

...

Just as Su Xiumei and Aunt Su Li pricked up their ears, they heard Lin Xiao's phone ring abruptly.

Lin Xiao answered the phone, and after hearing the voice on the other end, he immediately stood up.

"Oh no, I really forgot!"

"I'll be right back!"

"..."

There was an important major course today, the kind where attendance is mandatory.

Moreover, the professor had already warned him last time that if he skipped class again, he would be graded as a failure directly.

He wouldn't even be given a chance for a make-up exam!

He had almost forgotten such an important matter.

Fortunately, his roommate reminded him.

The Hotel is near the school, so he should be able to make it in time!

Seeing that Lin Xiao was about to leave, the sisters of the Su Family looked at each other, bewildered.

This won't do!

Being left hanging by Lin Xiao's inner voice, the two of them felt absolutely tormented.

They kept guessing in their hearts just how outrageous the reason for Zhao Xuan's desire for a divorce could be.

But no matter how much they guessed, there was no way to verify it.

Aunt Su Li was the quick-witted one; she grabbed Lin Xiao by the shoulder and pulled him back from the doorway.

"A-Xiao, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Do you know something?"

"Uh..."

Lin Xiao hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it.

Aunt Su Li raised an eyebrow. "A-Xiao, speak clearly. Your aunt won't treat you badly afterward... If you don't say it, cough, cough, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here a little longer today."

Lin Xiao felt a massive headache.

The main thing was that the reason Zhao Xuan wanted a divorce was truly hard to say out loud.

As a junior, he was even more embarrassed to bring it up.

He kept struggling in his mind, but his inner voice had already leaked.

[Sigh, sigh, sigh. How am I supposed to say this?]

[It can't be because of Aunt Su Li's profession, right?]

[Aunt Su Li is a famous designer, that's true, but she is... uh, a designer of adult products...]

[The products she designs are one bigger than the other, one more gaudy than the other.]

[And Aunt Su Li is very responsible; she always tests the products she designs personally before sending them to the factory for mass production, which makes Zhao Xuan feel very inferior.]

[After feeling inferior for so long, problems developed in his mind. First, it was all kinds of envy and jealousy, and then he kept imagining scenes of Aunt Su Li cheating.]

[In the end, he decided to get a divorce.]

...

Hearing this, both Su Xiumei and Aunt Su Li fell silent.

Aunt Su Li slowly released Lin Xiao and gently patted his shoulder. "Alright, it's nothing. You go to class."

"Huh?"

Lin Xiao was a bit confused.

How could she have been so persistent in asking him a second ago, and now suddenly give up?

But thinking about it, that makes sense.

Having been a married couple for so long, they should be the people who understand each other best.

Could it be that she really didn't know about some things at all?

Lin Xiao was unaware that his inner voice had leaked; he just assumed that Aunt Su Li had suddenly figured something out.

Seeing that it was getting late, he didn't care about anything else.

He immediately opened the door and left.
