“No, no…” He Yan denied. She shook her head repeatedly.
She could only repeat the word ‘no’. She was unable to make any more arguments.
“Are you done arguing?” Jian Yubo interrupted.
He was indifferent to the pain of his blood relatives. He didn’t care that they were arguing. It was as though he was an outsider that had nothing to do with them.
“If you’ve finished arguing, then sign the agreement,” Jian Yubo said to Jian Shuhong and He Yan.
Jian Yubo knew very well that they would both sign the divorce agreement.
Jian Shuhong would definitely sign the agreement as he was threatening him with the shares of the Jian family.
Jian Yuncheng also persuaded his second uncle to sign the agreement: “Second uncle, you should sign the agreement. The Jian family cannot keep such a woman in the family. She jeopardizes our family.”
As the matter had already come to this point, Jian Yuncheng no longer cared about his second uncle’s feelings.
It would be better to finish the matter once and for all.
“Don’t… Shuhong… Don’t…” He Yan pulled on Jian Shuhong’s arm and begged desperately.
She couldn’t get a divorce!
She couldn’t get a divorce!!!
“No, Shuhong… Please, I beg you. We’ve been married for thirty years! I’ve been taking care of our family for thirty years! I’ve been devoted to you and our children. Can you really let our thirty-year marriage go?”
Jian Shuhong looked at his wife who was in tears. He couldn’t bear to sign the divorce agreement.
His heart was being torn by two forces.
It was not easy to let go of a thirty-year marriage.
Until today, he hadn’t thought there was anything wrong with his wife.
But on the other side were his sons, his brother and sister-in-law, his nieces, and his nephews.
More importantly, Jian Yubo was threatening him with the Jian family business.
“I will count down ten seconds,” Jian Yubo said. He glanced at his watch and then started to count: “Ten, nine…”
Jian Yubo knew that Jian Shuhong was a gentle person. And thus, if he wanted him to make a decision, he would have to force him into a desperate situation.
“Eight, seven, six…”
“I’ll sign it!” Jian Shuhong cried out. This was just as Jian Yubo had predicted.
He Yan looked at the name on the divorce agreement and her face turned pale.
Then, the agreement was brought in front of He Yan.
Jian Yubo continued to speak to his mother: “You also have ten seconds to decide. If you do not sign the agreement, you will lose all of your assets. I will also file a lawsuit against the companies that you’ve invested in for fraudulent accounts.”
“Jian Yubo, you’re really something!” He Yan shouted. Her body was so weak that she fell to the ground.
However, Jian Yubo’s assistant stooped down and still put the agreement in front of her.
“Ten, nine, eight…”
Jian Yubo began to count down without emotion.
No matter what He Yan said, it did not affect his mood or decision.
He Yan gripped the pen with difficulty and signed her name on the agreement.
Then, Jian Yubo said: “My assistant will accompany you to complete the divorce formalities.”
He would see them through until the divorce was complete.
There was no room for maneuver for Jian Shuhong and He Yan.
“Yubo,” Jian Yumin called out. His voice was rough and pained as he asked: “Are we still your family?”
The divorce of his parents was a foregone conclusion.
Jian Yumin hadn’t expected things to end this way.
He didn’t hate his mother as much as Yubo did. However, he understood that the divorce wasn’t necessarily a bad thing for the family.
What he was worried about now was his second brother. His brother seemed so far away from them.
What he had done seemed like revenge. However, Jian Yumin hadn’t seen the slightest bit of pleasure on his brother’s face even though he had succeeded.
