Chapter 481: Chapter 481: The Child Follows You

Wen Ya pulled Cheng Zhiwei’s arm. "Forget it."

She had thought she would break down at this moment, so she asked Cheng Zhiwei to accompany her.

But when the time actually came, she felt remarkably calm.

Even as this woman kneeled on the ground and spoke those words, she managed to stay rational.

It’s just that the woman was somewhat presumptuous.

Seeing Wen Ya pulling Cheng Zhiwei, she thought she had frightened her and immediately became even bolder, "Miss Wen, I thank you for taking care of Xiao Jun for four years. If you want to see him, you can call me to arrange a meeting."

Wen Ya finally got angry.

Cheng Zhiwei frowned; this woman knew how to really hit where it hurts.

Just as she was about to speak, Wen Ya had already rebutted herself: "No need to thank me, after all, if a stray cat or dog were abandoned, I would also spare it a glance out of pity, let alone an unwanted child."

"That’s enough," Bo Ye scowled and rebuked.

Wen Ya’s expression turned colder; Bo Ye really does love her, shielding her like that.

She averted her gaze and said coldly, "Let’s get this over with quickly, don’t waste my time."

The two swiftly obtained their divorce certificate.

Wen Ya didn’t even look at it, just threw it into her bag, and said to Bo Ye, "Wen Jun’s household registration is still with our family. Please transfer it away as soon as possible, and take all his belongings too."

Bo Ye, restraining himself, studied her features with depth but spoke coldly, "He will stay with you for now."

"What do you mean?" Wen Ya stopped and looked at him.

They were divorced now, and he still wanted her to take care of their child?

How could he say such things?

Doesn’t he feel ashamed?

Bo Ye’s woman evidently hadn’t expected him to make such a decision. Though weak, she questioned loudly, "Bo Ye, how can you leave the child with her? He’s our child."

Bo Ye only gave her a fleeting glance, his emotions utterly unfazed, "Can you take good care of the child?"

The woman paused, obviously struck by some thought, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Xiao Jun is grown up now; he doesn’t need much from me, and there’s the nanny," she cried out, "Bo Ye, you can’t separate me from my child."

It was as if she had deep feelings for the child.

Who would have thought that this woman had run off right after giving birth?

Bo Ye looked intently at Wen Ya, "I will give you the living expenses monthly. Keep him with you."

Wen Ya lifted her chin, resolute and detached, "Bo Ye, I will not continue to take care of that child. If you don’t come for him, I will have someone send him and his things to your place."

Wen Jun was still in kindergarten, blissfully ignorant of Wen Ya and Bo Ye’s divorce.

He didn’t even know that his birth mother had returned.

Wen Ya didn’t know what Bo Ye was planning, but since they were divorced, it was time to sever all ties.

Despite her reluctance to let go of the child, she hardened her heart.

Bo Ye’s gaze shattered into fragments, "Wen Ya."

"Bo Ye, if she’s unwilling, that’s good. We’ll take Xiao Jun with us. I think he would also like to live with his father and mother," the woman pleaded, "I want to live with my son."

But Bo Ye refused and he gave an ultimatum, "Wen Ya, if you don’t want him, just send him to the orphanage."

With that, he left.

As for the woman, she could only stumble along behind him.

Cheng Zhiwei watched, whispering, "Is their relationship not good?"

She felt that Bo Ye did not actually like that woman.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t abandon the child, right?

Wen Ya looked down, speaking indifferently, "It has nothing to do with me."

They were already divorced.

Cheng Zhiwei hugged her, and the two returned to the car, where Cheng Zhiwei brought up the matter of the child.

If Bo Ye said he didn’t want the child, he definitely wouldn’t.

If Wen Jun was tossed around like this, wouldn’t it hurt him too?

Wen Ya gave a bitter smile, "He is certain I have already formed a bond with Wen Jun."

But Cheng Zhiwei said, "I think Bo Ye intends to use the child to keep in touch with you in the future."

After all, that woman only had two years left.

Wen Ya was unaware of these things and didn’t care, "My divorce from him was not just because of that woman and child. From the beginning, he and I were incompatible."

Cheng Zhiwei sighed and said no more.

Upon returning to the Wen Family home, Wen Ya said she was too tired and went to her room to rest.

Wen Yi asked Cheng Zhiwei in a low voice if something unpleasant had happened.

Cheng Zhiwei told her about Wen Jun.

Wen Yi stamped her foot, angry, "How could he bully sister like this?"

Leaving Wen Jun with the Wen Family was a way to constantly remind Wen Ya of that dreadful marriage.

Bo Ye was too inhumane.

The innocent young girl was very upset.

Cheng Zhiwei comforted her, asking her not to complain in front of Wen Ya, as she needed peace to heal.

"Besides, Wen Jun hasn’t done anything wrong; we can’t harm the child no matter what." As a mother herself, Cheng Zhiwei still felt sorry for the child.

"I know," Wen Yi said with tearful eyes, "I just feel it’s so unfair. Sister even avoided the company for her, not interfering with any business, just in case she was criticized."

"It will pass," Cheng Zhiwei could only offer this comfort.

Wen Yi then lost control of her emotions, "Dad and Second Uncle are already discussing selling the company."

Cheng Zhiwei felt sad but didn’t know what to say.

A big company, if not managed well, also becomes a burden.

Perhaps selling it would give them a more relaxed life.

But reality often disappointed.

Wen Yongan wanted to strike while the iron was hot and sell the company, but others thought that without Bo Ye, the Wen Family would inevitably fail. So they planned on delaying the process, waiting for the Wen Family to be on its knees then acquire the company at a rock-bottom price.

Therefore, for a week, the company remained static and rumors proliferated about its impending sale, leading to chaos within.

Cheng Zhiwei watched Wen Yongan visibly age with worry, only suggesting they reduce the asking price as a last resort, since delaying was not beneficial either.

Wen Ya emerged from the shadows of the divorce, continuing her work.

Bo Ye wanted to invest in the company but was refused by Wen Yongan.

For Wen Ya’s sake, he wouldn’t have any further dealings with Bo Ye.

Another week passed, and Zhou Lin came.

Unable to wait for Cheng Zhiwei to soften, he swallowed his pride first, especially since Cheng Zhiwei had been in Sea City for nearly half a month with no signs of returning.

And he didn’t dare to block Cheng Zhiwei, fearful that if he relented, he would resent being watched with cold eyes.

He couldn’t wait another half month.

So he came in person to discuss a partnership.

Wen Yongan was naturally pleased but seeing Cheng Zhiwei remain silent, he said, "Ah Lin, Uncle Wen thanks you for your helping hand. But Zhiwei is, after all, a child of the Wen Family, and we will not force her to do anything she dislikes."

The implication was clear: if Zhou Lin wanted Cheng Zhiwei to do something she didn’t want, he would not agree.
