"Ling Yan is such a good boy, he might have wronged others, but he has never once wronged you, Shi Mei. How cruel your heart must be!" Old Mrs. Shi rarely got this emotional. Gritting her teeth, she seemed as though she wanted to strangle Shi Mei to death, "Ungrateful wretch!"
Shi Mei had never been scolded before, she froze for a moment then cried out, "Grandma..."
"Don’t call me grandma, I don’t have a granddaughter-in-law like you!"
Old Mrs. Shi’s words were harsh, and her voice was loud; it stunned both Shi Mei and Yun Du.
Yun Du was stunned for a moment, then quickly said with a cry of pain, "Grandma, you’ve misunderstood them. They have been preparing to divorce for a while now. Both parties had already signed the papers before the New Year!"
Grandma Shi paused her tear-wiping, "What?"
Seeing that Old Lady Shi was finally listening, Yun Du hurried to explain, "Think about it, if only one person signed the Divorce Agreement, it wouldn’t be effective, right? Since they already obtained the divorce certificate, that means all the procedures have been completed, and now they have no legal relation whatsoever."
Yun Du’s words pierced Old Lady Shi’s heart.
Unexpectedly, they also stabbed Shi Mei in the heart.
Yes, they no longer had any relation.
Shi Mei subconsciously looked toward the man lying quietly on the hospital bed not far away, feeling somewhat choked up.
Divorced, what else was left between them?
Or maybe when he finds out she is Tang Wu, he would be incredulous, and perhaps after trying to ascertain the truth, he might kill her to silence her?
Or perhaps, he simply wouldn’t believe that the naive fool he lived with day and night was actually the Tang Wu he had once killed.
Indeed, such bizarre incidents, if it were her, she wouldn’t believe it either.
But this bizarre incident had actually happened to her.
After hearing Yun Du’s words, Old Mrs. Shi quieted down for a moment, her heart full of reluctance, and asked Shi Mei, "Why divorce?"
Shi Mei’s lips pressed tightly together, slightly lowering her head, she said, "Perhaps we’re not suitable for each other; we were never from the same world. Forcing us together isn’t good for anyone." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Old Lady Shi was initially wiping her tears, but upon hearing this, she couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, "You could actually say such an excuse. I’ve heard such reasons till they wore thin when I was young!"
Shi Mei also smiled slightly, "Then I think you might want to ask Assistant Yun."
That single sentence shifted Grandma Shi and Shi Mei’s gaze onto Yun Du.
Yun Du hesitated, "Er... this... that..."
"What’s all this hemming and hawing? Speak clearly when you talk man!" Grandma Shi was losing patience, "Was this divorce initiated by that boy Ling Yan?"
Yun Du nodded and glanced sideways to see Shi Mei’s face reddened by the divorce certificate. He felt a bit unbearable and said, "It was the boss who initiated it first. He had been preparing for a long time. The house, car, and shares in the maintenance funds were all compensation he calculated meticulously for Miss Shi."
Grandma Shi picked up the documents that had scattered on the floor, looked them over, showing surprise on her face, then exclaimed in loss of words, "Has Ling Yan gone mad?"
The terms written in that Divorce Agreement were so generous that even she, at her age, found them tempting.
What was more, what Ling Yan gave was not money, but the dividends from a multi-billion-dollar corporation he offered every year!
