Chapter 50

“No need.” Bai Sha handed the divorce agreement to the lawyer standing beside her. “With the Shen Family’s status in the Capital City, we enjoy certain privileges.

“As long as Wang Songjiang signs this agreement, I can get the divorce certificate processed even if he doesn’t show up tomorrow.”

Xia Sheng nodded and asked, “How do you plan to handle Wang Songjiang?”

Bai Sha smiled without a word and called over two men.

“Take him to get a vasectomy. I want to make sure he can never recover.”

Ordinary vasectomy procedures could be reversed later through surgery to restore a normal state.

As for how to make it permanent and to what extent it could be done, that was for the doctors to figure out.

After Wang Songjiang was taken away, Bai Sha had someone lead them to a private booth.

“Little Celestial Master, I’m truly sorry. I originally invited you here for a meal, but I didn’t expect such an ugly scene to break out.”

She had intended to settle the matter privately, but seeing Wang Songjiang meeting another woman behind her back just now had ultimately made her lose her temper.

Xia Sheng replied nonchalantly, “It’s fine. It had to be dealt with sooner or later.”

Bai Sha nodded and shifted the conversation to other topics.

She tried her best to appear calm, but both Xia Sheng and Wu Yuhan could still detect the sorrow hidden in the depths of her eyes during her occasional moments of silence.

After dinner, Wu Yuhan wanted to spend more time with her friend, so she hailed a taxi for Xia Sheng and stayed behind to take Bai Sha home herself.

Once she got home, Xia Sheng received a text from Bai Sha asking what amount would be appropriate for her fee.

Xia Sheng said two thousand, and the other side agreed.

A few minutes later, two million arrived in Xia Sheng’s bank account.

Xia Sheng couldn’t help but chuckle.

As expected of Wu Yuhan’s friend-both of them were incredibly wealthy and generous.

Xia Sheng was never one to be overly polite; she accepted the full amount and then transferred half of it to her foundation.

Since there was still plenty of time left in the evening, Xia Sheng took out the ginseng whiskers she had obtained from Shen Shen the day before and began refining pills with other Chinese medicinal herbs.

During her break between classes this morning, she had nothing to do, so she looked up information online regarding male kidney-yang deficiency.

Many netizens said that men could become extremely insecure because of such issues. In severe cases, they might even be afraid to date or avoid intimate contact with the opposite sex.

She had also asked Shen Ze and discovered that Shen Yanchen had indeed been a ‘single-since-birth’ solo flyer to this day. Even when women took the initiative to show interest, Shen Yanchen avoided them like the plague.

Xia Sheng immediately realized the severity of the problem.

It seemed this issue had been troubling Shen Yanchen for a long time. She had to hurry up and produce the medicine to help Shen Yanchen regain his confidence as a man.

The next day, Xia Sheng put the medicine she had made the previous night into a small bottle, tucked it into her backpack, and planned to deliver it to Shen Yanchen that evening.

Carrying the books she needed for the day’s classes, Xia Sheng headed to school.

After the first class ended, she was preparing to switch classrooms when she spotted Xia Zhiruo as she walked out.

Xia Zhiruo was naturally beautiful, and combined with her youthful, fashionable outfit, both men and women passing by couldn’t help but steal a glance at her.

She stood by the railing like a princess, basking in the admiring gazes of the crowd.

Xia Sheng, walking among the crowd, only spared her a single glance before indifferently looking away.

Xia Zhiruo caught her eye and, seeing that she was about to leave, immediately called out to her.

“Xia Sheng! Wait a moment!”

As she shouted, she reached out to grab Xia Sheng.

Xia Sheng gave Xia Zhiruo a cold look. Recalling what had happened by the footbridge last time, Xia Zhiruo instinctively shuddered and pulled her hand back, reflexively retreating a few steps.

She stiffened her neck and said, “Xia Sheng, wait. I have something to say to you.”
Xia Sheng stopped in her tracks. Curious, Ning Xi asked her, “Sheng’er, do you know Xia Zhiruo?”

Xia Zhiruo was quite famous among the students; her votes had been second only to Xia Sheng’s during the recent “God and Goddess” selection organized by the Confession Wall.

As a gossip enthusiast, Ning Xi naturally knew exactly who Xia Zhiruo was.

Seeing that the two seemed to know each other, the other students slowed down and looked over. With two beauties in the same frame, it was inevitable that people would start whispering.

Xia Zhiruo caught a faint comment about how her glamorous, polished look couldn’t even compare to Xia Sheng’s bare face. Flaring with anger, she turned and glared at the boy who had said it.

Realizing his words had been overheard, the boy felt a wave of awkwardness and quickly pulled his companion away.

Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Xia Sheng answered Ning Xi, “We’ve met a few times.”

Hearing this, Xia Zhiruo forced a smile onto her face. “Sheng’er, we’re sisters. That answer is a bit cold, don’t you think?”

Faced with Xia Zhiruo’s deliberate attempt to play nice, Xia Sheng remained indifferent. “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t try to claim a relationship; we aren’t close.”

Having her friendly overture shut down so bluntly, Xia Zhiruo’s smile stiffened for a moment. However, she quickly regained her composure. “Sheng’er, I came to ask if you’re free this weekend.

“Zhou Yichuan’s grandfather is celebrating his seventieth birthday this weekend…”

“I’m busy.”

Interrupted again, Xia Zhiruo inwardly cursed Xia Sheng for being uncultured, but she kept the smile on her face.

“Sheng’er, you and Zhou Yichuan are engaged. Are you sure you don’t want to go see his grandfather on his birthday?”

She deliberately raised her voice so that many of the people around them could hear.

Zhou Yichuan’s reputation as a profligate playboy was well-known throughout the upper circles of the Capital City. While children from ordinary families might not know the details, several students present who came from wealthy backgrounds immediately remembered exactly who the Zhou Yichuan she mentioned was.

Last year, the Capital City police had busted a prostitution ring, and photos were taken of many of the clients.

Although the faces were blurred in the news, some people still recognized that one of the men crouching on the ground with his head in his hands was Zhou Yichuan.

It was even rumored that Zhou Yichuan had been the victim of a “badger game” extortion plot that night, and the money had yet to be recovered.

Since Zhou Yichuan’s family held a certain amount of influence, the matter hadn’t blown up too much in the end, but everyone who needed to know in their social circle already knew.

From then on, Zhou Yichuan became the laughingstock of high society. Xia Zhiruo’s resistance to the marriage alliance between their families had started at that very moment.

Zhou Yichuan’s image as an idiot was firmly established. If she married him in the future, she would undoubtedly be disgraced along with him.

She had been stalling Zhou Yichuan and keeping the engagement from being publicly announced specifically to save face.

By revealing Xia Sheng’s relationship with Zhou Yichuan now, her intention to ruin Xia Sheng’s reputation was glaringly obvious.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the crowd began to buzz.

“Who is Zhou Yichuan? To be my goddess’s fiancé, he must be someone exceptional, right?”

“Exceptional? Hardly. He failed his college entrance exams, so his parents shipped him off to some school abroad to kill time. He barely lasted a year before he came running back.

“His parents thought it would look bad if word got out, so they just bought him a degree from overseas.

“Since he returned, he’s been fooling around everywhere. I heard he even spent a few days in lockup last year for solicitation.

“I actually saw Zhou Yichuan near the school a few days ago. He was probably here to find Xia Sheng.”

“No way? Why would Xia Sheng ever settle for a scumbag like that?”
