Sentenced to Marriage by MadlainQ novel Chapter 125

A better wife

I felt like I was about to throw up. My head started to spin. I even started to hear Lanfen’s wicked laughter inside my mind. How could Lan Jing demand that Aren divorce me? This was ridiculous! And for what reason? Because I wasn’t Chinese?!

“Waigong… I don’t want to be disrespectful, but are you shitting me?!” Aren snapped.

“Zhuyi ni de yuyan!” His grandfather thundered.

“Wo bu hui lihun!” Aren yelled.

I didn’t know what it all meant, but I hated it; I hated this whole situation. I looked at Lanfen and saw her sitting innocently as if she wasn’t the main cause of this uproar. I seriously wanted to punch her and knock her white teeth out of that fake humble smile!

Lan Jing took a deep breath before exclaiming, “Why are you so angry, xiaohouzi?! I’ve chosen Lanfen because you’ve already been in a relationship together! You broke up because of a misunderstanding, and misunderstandings are meant to be fixed!” He punched the table with his fist.

Aren burst into cold laughter before leaning toward his grandfather. “I can assure you, waigong, that things between Lanfen and me are beyond any type of fixing.” Then he glared mockingly at Lanfen.

She blinked her almond eyes at him, reaching out her hand to touch Aren’s arm. “It wasn’t my fault. If you just let me explain…”

“Don’t touch me,” Aren hissed icily, pushing her hand away.

Lanfen gasped as if he had hurt her hand, and Lan Jing roared, “Xiaohouzi!”

Aren’s lips formed a smile, but his eyes blazed dark and dangerously. He stood up and bowed to his grandfather. “I apologize, waigong.”

Lan Jing sighed. “I forgive you, xiaohouzi. Now, as for your divorce-”

“Let me finish.” Aren’s firm tone resonated within the room. “I wanted to apologize because I won’t divorce Cora, and I certainly won’t marry Lanfen. Don’t try to manipulate me or bribe me because I will not let anyone control my life like that. If you refuse to make me an heir this way, then be it. Lan Diamond Corporation is doing fine without your support.” He bowed once more before reaching for my hand and leading me toward the exit.

“Fool!” Lan Jing called out angrily, making Aren turn around. “I’m giving you the protection you need! | want to make you untouchable!”

A soft, humorless chuckle left Aren’s throat. “I survived thirty-two years without your help. I don’t need your protection.”

“Yes, I believe that you can protect yourself, but can she?” Lan Jing smirked.

Lanfen, who sat calmly on the sofa, suddenly frowned, sending the old man a confused stare. Aren looked at me, confidence quickly disappearing from his expression.

“What do you mean by that?” Aren let go of my hand and glared at his grandfather. “Are you threatening my wife now?”

“You know what I mean, xiaohouzi. A fragile girl cannot survive in our world,” Lan Jing said curtly.

“I can assure you that Cora isn’t just some fragile girl,” he said, a faint smirk crossing his lips.

Lan Jing raised his eyebrows. “Is she now?” He chuckled before pointing his finger at me. “Hanzi. I will
