BHBF Chapter 91.2

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 5) Chapter 91.2: The Son Is The Villian (2)

But this time, Shao Yu didn’t want to give her the opportunity to reap the benefits of the traffic.

After recovering from his injuries, Shao Yu immediately called Ying Siyi: “I owe a lot of money, and the creditors have come knocking on my door. I’m afraid it will affect you, so let’s get a divorce.”

After a moment of stunned silence, Ying Siyi, seemingly afraid that he was recording her, did not immediately agree. Instead, she said, “Let’s meet and talk about it.”

Zhang Ming took Shao Yu to the private club where they had arranged to meet, where Ying Siyi was already waiting.

Zhang Ming glanced at Shao Yu with some concern, fearing that Ying Siyi might be up to something again to frame his friend.

Shao Yu said, “It’s nothing.”

Shao Yu entered the private room, and with just a glance, he noticed something was amiss. Ying Siyi had hidden cameras in secluded spots.

When Ying Siyi saw Shao Yu, she was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.

The original owner was able to stand out from so many suitors not only because he was rich and sincere, but also because he had a good appearance. However, because the original owner had mediocre talents, such a good appearance seemed very empty.

Now that his inner self has been replaced, although his face is still the same, his temperament has naturally changed drastically. In addition, Shao Yu has just recovered from a serious illness, and his face is still somewhat pale, so he looks like a sickly young nobleman.

Ying Siyi didn’t think much of it, assuming that the incident had been a huge blow to him, which was why his demeanor had changed so drastically.

“Honey, don’t worry. I’ve taken on TV dramas and variety shows, and I’ll be able to earn money for you soon. Then we can pay off our debts and live a good life.” Ying Siyi spoke clearly, her eyes full of affection, as if she were acting on a film set.

Shao Yu chuckled and said, “No need. A man should shoulder his own responsibilities. I don’t want to be a burden to you. Let’s get a divorce.”

Ying Siyi didn’t understand why Shao Yu had agreed. She clearly remembered that a month ago, Shao Yu said that even if he died or jumped off a building, he would never divorce her, saying that even if he died, he would still be her husband in name only.

The fact that Shao Yu had changed his mind in such a short time caught her off guard. If the news of their divorce were to break, how could she maintain her image as a virtuous wife?

Even though Shao Yu has changed a lot, Ying Siyi is not flustered at all. In her eyes, Shao Yu is like a kite in her hand. Whatever she says, Shao Yu will naturally do.

“Husband, you’re so good to me. I really don’t want to divorce you, even if it might affect our two children.” Ying Siyi said this, essentially pressuring Shao Yu to divorce her; she was determined not to be the one to initiate the divorce.

She didn’t know exactly how much debt Shao Yu still had, so to be on the safe side, she still wanted to divorce Shao Yu, but she kept this news a secret.

Shao Yu thought to himself, this woman really wants everything. She wants to sever ties with her husband’s debts and maintain her image as a virtuous wife. Right now, she’s probably still feeling troubled, wondering why her husband didn’t just die quickly.

Ying Siyi truly felt the same way. She felt a little sorry that her husband hadn’t died after jumping down.

Shao Yu asked, “I heard you say you were leaving before I jumped off the building, is that true?”

Ying Siyi’s eyes darted around. Originally, she only wanted to get rid of Shao Yu, but recently, she had realized many benefits of playing the role of a virtuous wife, so her mindset changed, and she was no longer in a hurry to break ties with Shao Yu. The divorce was necessary, but she also needed to keep Shao Yu in check.

“Honey, you misunderstood. I meant I’m leaving to film a movie, not that I’m leaving you. I love you so much, how could I bear to leave you and the kids?”

Ying Siyi stared at Shao Yu. Usually, whenever she said this, Shao Yu would get very excited, just like a young person in their first love.

Shao Yu immediately pretended to be relieved and said, “When I saw you and Mr. Zheng leave that day, I thought you were going to be with him.”

Ying Siyi immediately said, “Honey, you misunderstood. Mr. Zheng said he would give me an opportunity. When I think about our family’s situation, I just want to help you get out of trouble as soon as possible.”

Ying Siyi changed the subject, then said with a wronged tone, “Honey, the news says you cheated on me…”

Shao Yu would never admit to the mudslinging that Ying Siyi had thrown in the first place.

Fortunately, Ying Siyi didn’t pursue the matter further. She simply said innocently, “I thought my husband had done something to betray me, and I was sad for a long time on set.”

Ying Siyi wants to establish herself as a virtuous wife. A virtuous wife is someone who remains uncomplaining and devoted even when her husband cheats on her.

Shao Yu then said, seemingly casually, “I haven’t seen you these past few days. I thought you’d run off with someone else.”

Ying Siyi immediately put on a tired look and said, “These days, in order to earn money, I’ve been spending every day on set. The whole crew is working non-stop. One actor took two days off and was scolded by the director.”

“Honey, it’s not that I don’t want to see you, I’m just afraid the director might get upset and fire me, and then I don’t know when I’ll be able to help you pay off your debts.”Shao Yu said, “How can I see you working so hard? The more you work like this, the less I can afford to be a burden to you. I must divorce you. You must not worry about my debts.”

Ying Siyi neither said yes nor no, she just kept saying, “Honey, you’re so good to me.”

Then she quickly hinted at the matter of divorce, and Shao Yu readily agreed to the divorce.

“Honey, even though you want a divorce, I won’t leave you. So don’t tell anyone else about this yet. Let’s remarry after I’ve paid off your debts, okay?”

This strange logic could only fool the original owner who deeply loved her.

Shao Yu said, “If that’s the case, then why get divorced and remarried, creating unnecessary trouble?”

Ying Siyi’s prepared response was: “This is all for the children. You wouldn’t want your children to become the offspring of deadbeats, would you?”

“We’re divorced, so aren’t they my children?” Shao Yu retorted.

Ying Siyi’s face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly said, “Honey, I want to send the children to a prestigious school. You don’t want them to be judged by you, right?”

Shao Yu then asked, “Are you taking two children with you?”

Ying Siyi paused again. She was just saying nice things to coax Shao Yu. Although these two were her own children, she didn’t have much affection for them. How could she be willing to take care of them during the second spring of her career?

“Honey, I’m busy these days, so please take care of the kids for now. When I have time, I’ll bring them with me and take good care of them.”

Upon hearing this, Shao Yu chuckled and said, “You’re such a good mother.”

Ying Siyi shamelessly accepted the compliment, saying, “As long as you and the child are well, I’m willing to do anything.”

Ying Siyi had prepared everything in advance, so her words were completely watertight.

Shao Yu said, “I can’t be a burden to you with such a good wife like you. Let’s get a divorce as soon as possible. You don’t need to worry about my debts or the children.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Siyi felt that Shao Yu still loved her deeply and was still completely under her control. With this in mind, she was even less worried that Shao Yu would do anything detrimental to her.

Shao Yu continued, “If you’re not going to worry about my debts, then don’t work too hard on yourself. Get some rest and don’t ruin your health. I know you like acting, so take on more roles that you enjoy. It’s better to have quality than quantity when it comes to good roles.”

Shao Yu’s words were full of sincere concern, but Ying Siyi was outwardly moved but inwardly scoffed, thinking that given the rapid turnover in the entertainment industry, if she had fewer roles, she would soon be forgotten.

Who doesn’t want to act well? But good roles are hard to find. And if you spend a lot of time acting in a play and it flops, where can you go to cry?

Although she did not agree with Shao Yu’s opinion, she still gave a perfunctory response.

“You said we shouldn’t announce our divorce, but I don’t think so. The creditors know we’re a couple, and if I can’t come up with the money, they’ll definitely come after you.”

“If they just want money from you, that’s fine. But I’m afraid they’ll retaliate. If they do something to you while you’re filming, or if they loosen the tension even slightly, you could lose your life. So, just to be on the safe side, we should make the divorce public.”

Every word Shao Yu uttered was filled with heartfelt concern.

Ying Siyi hadn’t anticipated the creditors’ madness; she was only thinking about the benefits of her virtuous wife persona.

But Shao Yu kept giving examples, talking about the crazy things those debt collectors did, saying that splashing paint and writing big characters were nothing compared to murder and arson.

Ying Siyi became increasingly frightened as she listened. She thought that to maintain her image as a virtuous wife, she could use the public relations materials related to their divorce to her advantage. Surprisingly, Shao Yu did not refuse but instead agreed to it.

After the two agreed on the details, Shao Yu left. Ying Siyi sat in the private room, feeling a little regretful. Shao Yu had been very gentlemanly from beginning to end, so all the recordings today were a waste.

“Did you fall for that woman’s tricks? Were you careful when you spoke? Make sure she doesn’t catch you doing anything wrong.” On the way back, Zhang Ming kept muttering to himself, afraid that Shao Yu might not be paying attention and be used by Ying Siyi again.

Shao Yu reassured his friend, “Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid.”

“If he weren’t stupid, would he have almost been driven to his death by her?” Zhang Ming said irritably.

Helpless, Shao Yu said, “Wait a few days, and my situation will improve by then.”

Zhang Ming, fearing that his friend had been deceived by Ying Siyi again, immediately said, “Did you promise that woman something? Don’t believe her sweet words. She doesn’t care if you’re dying, and she doesn’t care if your two children are crying. She won’t do anything good.”

“Don’t worry, I know her very well,” Shao Yu comforted his.

Shao Yu waited at Zhang Ming’s house for two days, and then Ying Siyi asked her public relations team to write two divorce statements. The gist of the statements was that although the two were divorced, they were still very good friends and would continue to help each other.

The article appears magnanimous, but it subtly shifts the blame for the divorce onto Shao Yu, implying that Shao Yu’s infidelity led to the breakdown of the marriage.
