“Come down . ”
A rough and deep voice was heard . Ning Meng then lifted her head and looked at the man that had saved her . His eyebrows were furrowed, and his stare was frosty . It was as if he did not want to have Ning Meng in his embrace . But for Ning Meng, he was like a hero that had come from heaven to save her . And of course, she was grateful for it . All those compliments that she made about Huo Beichen had paid off .

Ning Meng was rendered speechless .
“Meng Meng, are you okay?”
Cao Xuehua rushed to her and pretended to show her concern for her . Ning Meng had a clear view of her split-second toxic stare and disappointment in her eyes . She suddenly realized that Cao Xuehua did that on purpose . It was not an accident at all . The reason she wanted to kill her was because she had chosen not to divorce Huo Beichen anymore .
In the book, Ning Meng could not accept that someone poor from outside became her elder sister all of a sudden . So, she reacted by teasing her with words . Because of that, the main character’s mother had made the decision to kill her .

When she was reading this book, Ning Meng had always complained about how the author always killed off those that went against the main character of this novel . In reality, the stepmother and her daughter were the worst of all .
“I’m fine . Are you disappointed?” asked Ning Meng .
“What are you talking about? I’m glad that you are fine! I wouldn’t know how to tell your dad if something bad happens to you!” said Cao Xuehua .
Clearly, she was guilty as charged . The old Ning Meng was not as witty and observant as the new Ning Meng right now . Knowing that Ning Meng had seen through her schemes, Cao Xuehua was feeling guilty about the whole thing .

“Meng Meng . I’m going to head back to the house first . I have forgotten that I have to deal with something! Just hang in there . I will make sure to end your suffering!” said Cao Xuehua while standing up .
Cao Xuehua had no intention to let Ning Meng off the hook .
Over the years, Huo Beichen had purchased plenty of property . After the wedding, Ning Meng had chosen to stay in an apartment . There was only one unit on each floor . The unit that she stayed in was three-hundred square meters . It was more than enough for one person to stay comfortably .
After leaving the rooftop, she saw that Huo Beichen did not leave the building . Instead, he went into her room . She could not help but feel nervous about that . In the novel, the author did not describe Huo Beichen much . All knew about him was that he was a loner and ruthless individual . Even the almighty male protagonist was afraid of him . In her head, she still hoped that she could salvage the marriage after complimenting him .
Feeling nervous, she opened the door . She saw that Huo Beichen was sitting on the leather sofa . His assistant, Qi Shan was reporting to him .
“Sir, this is the divorce paperwork that you asked me to prepare earlier…”
The moment Ning Meng opened the door, Huo Beichen and Qi Shan turned around and looked at her . She was shocked by the way her husband stared at her .
Divorce paperwork?
Could it be she had failed to change the outcome of the plot?
