My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 177

If it were simply a matter of keeping a mistress in secret, that would be one thing. But this ungrateful wretch was a business genius who, with the financial support of his father-in-law's family, made a comeback and grew his business even larger.

The scumbag then felt that his wife's family was interfering too much, and his wife was becoming too demanding.

Most importantly, he couldn't bear that the woman he loved couldn't stand beside him in the spotlight and had to bear an unsavory title.

He wanted to give his beloved woman a proper status.

However, when they got married, they had agreed that if he initiated a divorce first, all the marital assets would go to Lu Lanshan.

This was no joke - he didn't have much property before marriage.

All the wealth was acquired after marriage, so if all marital assets went to Lu Lanshan, wouldn't that mean he'd leave empty-handed? He couldn't accept this.

Not to mention that he couldn't endure a life of poverty himself, as a good man, he absolutely couldn't let the woman he loved suffer with him.

This prenuptial agreement was extremely rude and overbearing.

He wanted a divorce but couldn't propose it.

Moreover, his wife and father-in-law's family were becoming increasingly unreasonable. As a good man and victim, he teamed up with the Lu family's competitors to set a trap for his father-in-law.

Compared to others, the father-in-law was less wary of his son-in-law, especially now that his daughter was pregnant.

With an insider working against them and hungry wolves outside, the Lu family soon went bankrupt.

But even so, if Bo Yiyang wanted to divorce his wife, he would still leave empty-handed.

However, what if his wife, under the double blow of losing her parents and miscarrying, developed a mental illness?

And what if his wife suddenly died after being sent to a mental hospital?

As her husband, he didn't blame the mental hospital for mishandling the situation, but instead very generously forgave them.

He was a good husband. As a widowed diamond bachelor, he had countless women throwing themselves at him, but he still couldn't forget his deceased mentally ill wife. After observing a year of mourning for his wife, he "reluctantly" married his secretary only at the insistence of his elders.

He truly loved his late wife so much.

[However, in this tear-jerking, heart-wrenching love story, Sister Lanshan was just a corpse]

[The good man's new wife bore him two children in three years, but he forever lost the person he truly loved]

[How typical]

Shi Li didn't usually meddle in others' affairs, but Lu Lanshan's situation was too tragic - she was deceived in body, heart, money, and life.

Moreover, she was the niece of Shi Li's former young aunt, and the Shi family owed the young aunt quite a bit.

So Shi Li spoke up, "Sister Lanshan, you're still young. Isn't it too early to get married now? You could date for a couple of years first, observe each other's character, and get married when the time is right."

Lu Lanshan looked at the little sister indulgently, "Marriage is like doing business - opportunities come and go. Bo Yiyang is a decent man, and his company needs money right now. Our family investing in him is a great opportunity."

According to their family's plan, they would get the marriage certificate first, then invest the money.

They couldn't do a losing business.

If they gave money before getting married, the portion that could be considered marital property would be much less.

She also wanted to have a normal relationship, spend some time with her partner, and get married when their feelings naturally developed.

But Bo Yiyang's company couldn't wait that long.

Therefore, now was the best time to get married.

Lu Lanshan analyzed this for Shi Li in detail, leaving Shi Li quite bewildered.

The previous explanation sounded reasonable, and Shi Li couldn't help but ask, "Sister, have you considered that if you rush into marriage like this, what if his 'good man' image is fake? What if he's not openly cheating, but has a true love on the side? If that happens, what would you do?"

Lu Lanshan snorted coldly, "If he dares to cheat, I'll divorce him. After the divorce, he'll leave empty-handed. As long as the money is mine, I don't care who he ends up with."

Shi Li sighed inwardly, thinking that the Lu family girls didn't have much luck in finding husbands.

The previous one was Lu Yiyue, who married Youngest Uncle Shi.

Although he was her own uncle, Shi Li couldn't in good conscience say he was a good man.

Compared to her niece's partner, Youngest Uncle Shi was still better.

Although he was a bit useless and somewhat of a scumbag, at least he wouldn't harm someone for money.

Shi Li asked Lu Lanshan, "But what if he kills you? Then all your money and his money would be his. He could use the money from both of you to support other women."

This sounded quite angry.

Lu Lanshan frowned and shook her head, "That won't happen. My parents are still around. I don't believe he'd dare to harm me."

[He could harm your parents too, then all your family's money would be his]

Seeing the little sister's expression of disbelief, Lu Lanshan reached out and ruffled her hair, "You're just a child. What have you encountered to make you think so badly of people?"

What else could Shi Li say? She couldn't very well tell her that people's hearts were much worse than she imagined.

There are many good people in the world, but some bad people are worse than you could ever imagine.

Hearing the two discuss human nature, the Lu family elders said, "Ah Li has a point. You can't fully know someone just by looking at them, so you can't completely trust the other person."

Huang Jie laughed and scolded Shi Li, "This naughty girl always overthinks things. Don't mind her."

Lu Lanshan also smiled and said, "I know Ah Li means well and is worried about me being deceived. Don't worry, I'll be careful."

She said she would be cautious, but the engagement party invitations had already been sent out and couldn't be canceled midway.

Three days later, Shi Li appeared in the Lu family's makeup room wearing a cocktail dress, her face expressionless.

The makeup artist was doing Lu Lanshan's makeup for her engagement today. Her makeup was elegant and dignified, with a simple necklace around her neck.

As Shi Li came and went from the makeup room, helping the makeup artist, she saw the true face of Bo Yiyang, this champion among scumbags.

To be fair, the man looked quite presentable, with the potential to play a deeply affectionate male lead.

Lu Lanshan introduced her, "This is our family's little sister, Shi Li."

Faced with his greeting, Shi Li, an expert at acting, put on a polite smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Bo."

"Since you're Lanshan's sister, you should call me brother-in-law."

In the Lu family villa, not far from Shi Li's position, her classmates heard a sky-piercing "You~ should~ call~ me~ brother-in-law~"

The stunned faces of those whose ears were assaulted: What happened? Who provoked this little ancestor again?
