Chapter 364 - 124 Ten Years of Waiting Living Up to Longing_4
This statement was like a bolt from the blue: Bai Ran actually divorced Yun Shen?
My God!
Although there had been rumors of discord between the two, Bai Ran had been the epitome of a dutiful wife after marriage, never straying again. But thinking about it, it wasn’t surprising; Kang Jinse, that super mistress, had already been living in the Yun Family home for years. A legal wife and a mistress sharing the same space, it’s probably more than any woman could bear.
Someone in their heart was cheering, Good riddance, what a perfect divorce, kick that scumbag Yun Shen to the curb already.
The reporter closest at the time pointed the microphone at Bai Ran and urgently asked, "Miss Bai, did you divorce Mr. Yun because of Kang Jinse?"
The question was sharp, cutting to the heart of the matter.
Bai Ran looked at the reporter, "Everyone is aware of the situation in the Yun Family. I have persisted for ten years, but I really couldn’t continue any longer. The marriage was a business alliance to begin with; Yun Shen and I never had a solid emotional foundation. Reaching this point seems to have been expected, and moreover..." She revealed a bitter smile.
"I also need to make room for the future generation. Since that’s the case, there’s no need for us to torture each other any longer."
After ten years, suddenly divorcing now? Who would believe there wasn’t a problem? Thinking of making room for the future generation, everyone thought of Kang Jinse. Was it Kang Jinse who forced her?
How does a mistress stage a coup? According to plotlines in TV dramas, of course, it’s by getting pregnant. Does this mean Kang Jinse is pregnant? To make room for the pregnant mistress, the legal wife has to be divorced.
In an instant, everyone’s hearts filled with a strong desire for gossip. This Yun Family is truly something else—one shocking story after another, more thrilling than a TV drama.
Yun Ya’s lips turned up slightly, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
He had guessed that Bai Ran organized today’s banquet to announce this matter. Rather than being smeared by the Yun Family, it was better to strike first and seize the initiative.
After all, following this debacle, Yun Shen and Kang Jinse’s reputations had already become utterly detestable.
"Was it Kang Jinse who forced you, or was it Yun Shen who forced you?" another reporter followed up quickly.
"No one forced me. It was my own decision to ask for a divorce. Children are innocent; I can’t let him be born and pointed at because of the stigma of being a bastard, as it would ruin his entire life. Although I am not a saint, I am a mother. I couldn’t watch my child be humiliated like this, so it was I who initiated the divorce," Bai Ran explained.
Her words resonated with all the mothers, who praised Bai Ran for her kindness and rationality. In comparison, Yun Shen seemed cold and selfish, while Kang Jinse was regarded as vicious and promiscuous. The two were condemned thoroughly; in this world, nothing is more loathed than adulterous men and mistresses, and these two even had the gall to be righteously indignant about their affair—it was infuriating.
Then, Bai Ran took out two documents, "Yun Shen hasn’t treated me poorly. He gave me ten million as alimony and a villa in the east of the city, so it seems he still has some lingering feelings..."
Everyone looked on with contempt. Considering Yun Shen’s wealth, even one hundred million wouldn’t be a loss, and he only gave ten million? How stingy could he be to his ex-wife?
Someone suggested, "Miss Bai, you could totally sue him in court for a share of the assets. Given Yun Shen’s wealth, you definitely deserve more than ten million. You can’t let that scumbag and his shameless mistress get off cheaply."
Bai Ran smiled slightly, "Let’s be forgiving where possible. I don’t want to make things too ugly. This is fine."
She appeared generous and insightful.
However, the truth was that Yun Shen had a prenuptial agreement notarized before they married, which she had signed. Yun Shen was very cautious and astute. Even though they had been married for ten years, if things were taken to court, he had definitive evidence that would leave her with nothing after the divorce. That she could get ten million and a villa from Yun Shen was already quite a feat. Further quarrels would leave her with nothing, of course, these were details she wouldn’t share with anyone.
People praised Bai Ran’s magnanimity, while Yun Shen was scorned as a selfish, callous scumbag, and Kang Jinse as a shameless, despicable mistress.
Amid the discussions below, Bai Ran smiled slightly, "I have decided to donate the ten million I received from Yun Shen, as well as the proceeds from the public auction of the villa, to establish the Xi Guo Charity Foundation to help orphans and children in distress, giving them the warmth of a home. If you have a charitable heart in the future, you are welcome to contact me."
What a philanthropic move.
In an instant, Bai Ran’s image was elevated.
In comparison, Yun Shen and Kang Jinse were vilified, and although Bai Ran never badmouthed them, her graciousness and magnanimity starkly highlighted their selfishness, effectively smearing them without a word.
