If it weren’t for Tang Yue, Mo Xiaoyu might not even know how distressed she would be. Having someone by her side is always better than being alone. Furthermore, with Xie Tiantian there, I hope Mo Xiaoyu can soon step out of Xie Quan’s shadow.
Of course, this is predicated on her divorcing Xie Quan as soon as possible.
Mo Siyu went out early to buy breakfast, just like yesterday, with a full spread of various options available.
Mo Xiaoyu felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Xiao Yu, we’ll go find Xie Quan in a bit," Mo Siyu didn’t have much leave, and this matter needed to be resolved quickly.
"Okay." Mo Xiaoyu just turned her head and was about to ask Tiantian if she wanted to stay with her aunt.
Xie Tiantian very sensibly said, "Mom, you go with uncle, and I’ll play with aunt."
Xie Tiantian, hugging Tang Yue, appeared very close.
Tang Yue stayed at home with Xie Tiantian, while Mo Siyu accompanied Mo Xiaoyu to find Xie Quan.
It seemed as if Xie Quan knew they were coming and had already prepared. Wan Wei was nowhere to be seen, and Xie Quan directly said, "The factory didn’t make much money, all the savings at home have been invested in the factory. The house, it’s yours, so you and Tiantian will have a place to live in the future."
"Heh." Mo Siyu mildly scoffed and slapped a thick stack of documents in front of Xie Quan: "Xie Quan, I’ve calculated exactly how much money you have under your name and how much the factory is worth."
He knew Xie Quan could stoop so low; money matters surely wouldn’t be settled easily.
Last night, Mo Siyu spent the whole night gathering these documents.
"This..." Xie Quan saw the clear documents, his face changed, and said, "How can the factory operate without money? Besides, the amount is too much, I only took less than one-third."
"What does that have to do with us?" Mo Siyu retorted, "My calculations didn’t even include the money you gave that woman. So, give the money, sign the papers, then we can talk, or else, do you think the Mo Family is easily bullied?"
Mo Siyu coolly clapped his hands, loosening up his muscles and said, "Or do you think my words don’t carry enough weight? Should I call my uncle and aunt?"
"No." Upon hearing this, Xie Quan’s back chilled, knowing initial funds for the factory majorly came from Mo Xiaoyu’s family, realistically, paying this money wasn’t a loss for him.
Thus, Xie Quan very appropriately handed over the money to Mo Xiaoyu, and then went with Mo Xiaoyu to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their divorce. Before this, Mo Siyu prudently gave Xie Quan a ’voluntary renunciation of custodial rights’ agreement.
Thinking that it was just a girl, Xie Quan considered for less than a second before signing.
Initially, Mo Xiaoyu even felt that taking this money was excessive, but now, it didn’t seem too much at all. Her daughter, whom she had laboriously given birth to, was worth less in his eyes than the unborn child in Wan Wei’s womb.
Mo Xiaoyu got the green booklet and felt very heavy-hearted, really wanting to cry her heart out.
Mo Siyu carefully put away these documents and money, saying, "Xiao Yu, sell the house, and then later, we’ll decide whether to go back home or continue staying in Sea City."
"Okay." Mo Xiaoyu responded, and on the way back, she couldn’t help but cry.
Mo Siyu comforted her: "Such a man is not worth your tears." He sighed, if only he had known earlier what kind of person Xie Quan was, his uncle and aunt would never have let Xiao Yu marry him.
Initially, Xie Quan was completely accommodating to Xiao Yu, and his honest-looking face made him seem trustworthy, hence Mo Siyu never expected Xie Quan would betray Mo Xiaoyu.
Mo Xiaoyu seemed to cry out all the grievances she had from the past days.
She sobbed and said, "Si Yu, don’t tell my parents, don’t make them worry."
"Are you planning to stay in Sea City alone?" Mo Siyu asked.
Mo Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, I’ve been in Sea City for so many years and am familiar with it. Moreover, Sea City is so big, if I don’t go to that district, I won’t bump into him."
"Then where do you plan to go?" Mo Siyu asked.
Mo Xiaoyu thought for a moment and replied, "I haven’t decided yet."
When she got home, Mo Xiaoyu hugged Xie Tiantian and couldn’t help but cry again.
"Mommy, wipe." Xie Tiantian held a tissue to wipe her tears, pursed her little mouth, and blew, saying, "Mommy, blow and it won’t hurt anymore."
Xie Tiantian’s soft and tender voice made anyone listening feel tender-hearted.
Tang Yue quietly stepped out, leaving the space for her and the little girl.
"Are things settled?" Tang Yue asked.
Tang Yue inquired, "Did he give the money so readily?" She felt something was off. How could Xie Quan agree so quickly to give the money and sign the divorce papers?
Could it be that for a woman, Xie Quan was willing to give any amount of money?
Or was that woman his true love?
"Mmm." Mo Siyu nodded, noticing her disbelief, he quietly whispered a few words in her ear.
Tang Yue’s eyes lit up and she gave Mo Siyu a thumbs up, saying, "Your method is good. For people like him, that’s exactly what should be done, but isn’t this letting him off too easily?"
With this money, it was what Mo Xiaoyu deserved, but Xie Quan was still running the factory, making money, and supporting that woman with this money?
She felt a sense of unresolved anger on behalf of Mo Xiaoyu.
"Of course." Mo Siyu’s lips slowly curved into a cold smile, saying, "Letting him off easily, that’s not my style, so he definitely won’t like what’s coming next."
"Oh~" Tang Yue drew out her words, she leaned in closer and asked, "Tell me, what are you planning to do?"
"These matters, you don’t need to know." Mo Siyu had no intention of telling her, he said, "Xiao Yu plans to settle down in Sea City, but she has a child to take care of, she can’t just sit idly. Do you have any ideas?"
Indeed, Tang Yue’s attention was immediately diverted. After listening to Mo Siyu’s explanation, knowing that Mo Xiaoyu didn’t want to return home and didn’t want to worry her parents, once she was settled and living a better life in Sea City, then she could go back and tell Mr. and Mrs. Mo, they would definitely be able to accept it.
Tang Yue’s eyes whirled, and she said, "She has money, she can buy a commercial property first, Sea City is so big, just yesterday I saw some commercial properties for sale, and then with the remaining money, she could rent a storefront. Look, whether it’s clothes from Mingyue Clothing Factory or Star Bright, they are both hot sellers, and there’s none in Sea City yet. It would be perfect to open a store."
"If it’s busy, just hire someone. Sister Xiaoyu can be responsible for purchasing and handling the money, making it convenient for her to pick up and drop off the child." Tang Yue had this idea before coming, but wasn’t sure if they would like it, so she hadn’t mentioned it.
