Chapter 18: No One Believed Her

After Xia Yuwei said those words, she looked even more pitiful than before.
This was the last straw for He Xiyan. She stood up agitatedly, her fists clenched so tight that her veins popped out.
“Xia Yuwei….you?”
She could not hold back any longer and rushed forward with her hand raised, ready to smack that woman’s face.
She hated this, she hated how she was painted as the perpetrator in this. She especially hated this woman who was so good at acting.
Just as her hand was about to come down hard, a man reached out to grip it tightly.
“Enough is enough, He Xiyan.”
Mo Yixuan said angrily, his gaze cut through like a knife across her face that was flushed with anger.
“Yixuan, she is lying. She truly is!”
Xiyan looked at her husband and she felt like crying when she saw the mistrust and annoyance in her husband’s eyes.
Xia Yuwei’s chin lifted and her next words were even more vicious.
“Miss He, I know you’re jealous of the fact that I am pregnant with Yixuan’s child, but why must you say such malicious words about me? Aunty had seen you push me to the floor, and even now, my face is still stinging from that blow. Why would I do such a thing to myself, or slap myself? Do you not feel your conscience p.r.i.c.k when you make such remarks?”
She pointed at her face and continued, “I, Xia Yuwei, swear to the heavens that if there were any falsehoods in my words, my child will die a horrible death.”
Xia Yuwei said resolutely, not a trace of fear in her heart. She had seen so many people swear upon the heavens without facing any consequences, so she knew that such actions were meaningless.
Her words, however, caused Li Qin beside her to break out in cold sweat.
That was her precious grandson whose life had just been sworn on.
“Are you out of your f.u.c.king mind?” He Xiyan stared at Xia Yuwei, her eyes turning red from anger. If not for the fact that she was being held back, she would have really rushed over to hit her.
She could not believe such a woman would exist in the world, a woman that would curse even her own child.
“Yixuan, look at this… look at this…” Li Qin was so agitated she could stamp her foot. “This is the woman whom you married three years ago. Her mouth is so filthy like a wild shrew. How could this woman be fit to be part of the Mo family?”
Mo Yixuan finally had enough.
He pursed his thin lips and a savage look flashed past his face.
Suddenly, his grip around that woman tightened and flung her out hard.
Bang-
He Xiyan was flung a meter away and she landed on her left hand. She had not be prepared for this at all so her finger landed hard on the floor.
She felt an intense pain in her finger joint, as though it had been almost broken.
Mo Yixuan reached over to receive the Divorce Agreement his mother pa.s.sed to him.
He then flung the agreement at her, this time it landed squarely on her face.
“Sign it. Then get out of my sight.”
He said coldly, even more resolute and brutal than yesterday, without any room for discussion.
He Xiyan felt like a knife had cut across her face, disfiguring her.
She looked at Mo Yixuan, her husband, but that was no longer her husband.
Her heart sank into the depths of the ocean and fell deep into an abyss.
She rubbed at her eyes, tears falling freely.
“I truly did not…” She muttered as she cried.
Unfortunately, no one believed her, not even the man she had loved for five years. They did not even want to hear her speak.
“Sign it, He Xiyan. If you still refuse to sign, I will see you in court and end our marriage there.” Mo Yixuan said coldly, his words falling like knives.
Li Qin rose to her feet as well. “Son, if she still refuses to sign, I will look for your uncle. He is the highest ranked judge here and will help you find a way to dissolve this marriage.”
Mother and son both sang the same tune in order to force her to sign.
