Chapter 56: Divorce? Who gave you the right?

  "Was it created out of thin air or did you do something unclean that I discovered?" Xiao Qian raised his head, "Grandfather, how can the Xiao family tolerate a woman like this? She can't stand other women, pretending to be magnanimous on the surface but secretly colluding with outsiders and using dirty tricks to deal with others. This is completely the behavior of a petty person. Where does she deserve to be the young mistress of the Xiao family? No, I like Qing Huan, I like her kindness, purity, and innocence. She would never have such a dirty mindset as you do. Do you think that by getting rid of Qing Huan, this great threat to your heart, you can rest easy? Gu Yan, let me tell you, I will never love someone like you in this lifetime. You are an evil and vicious woman, who do you think would be blind enough to fall for you and spend a hundred years with you?"

  "Fine, divorce it is then! You're the one who brought it up, Shaoyan. Don't regret it later!" Gu Yan's anger turned to laughter as she shot back at him with an iron tone.

  Xiao Qian wanted to retort, but Xiao Yi's deep voice cut in, "Enough." The two people's argument was abruptly interrupted.

  Xiao Yi seemed to have let out a gentle breath, his thin frame clad in a Tang suit, his chest and back seemingly stuck together, yet the rise and fall of his breathing made it even more pronounced. As he breathed slowly, his sternum rose and fell one beat at a time, making Xiao Yi appear calm, yet radiating an aura of quiet authority.

  "Who allowed you to get divorced? Who gave you permission to mention the word 'divorce'?"

  "Grandpa, I don't love her. Why can't I get a divorce? It's been six years now. You've seen it too - we've been trying to make it work for six years, but all that's happened is that both of us have become more and more hurt. Our marriage hasn't gotten any smoother either. What else is there to try to make work? Even if you give me another six years, eight years, ten years, or a lifetime, I still won't fall in love with her. Do I really have to spend the rest of my life facing her?"

  "What's the big deal about a lifetime? Xiao Qian, don't blame me for not reminding you, your assets are still in my hands. There is 100 million yuan in your assets that I put in Gu Ye's account, just to prevent you from causing trouble outside and giving Gu Ye more headaches. If you dare to cause more trouble for me again, the 100 million will be taken away by Gu Ye!"

  Xiao Qian was shocked and didn't speak for a long time.

  That's right, the 100 million dowry back then was to guarantee the Cui family and give Mrs. Xiao a sense of security.

  Although I've heard that Xiao's worth is in the tens of billions, it seems like a 100 million dowry isn't much, losing it would be no big deal. However, one's net worth and actual money are two different things, people who understand know that having a high net worth doesn't mean you actually have that much cash. But the 100 million from Gu Yai is real money, genuine and authentic 100 million.

  Who would give it away like that?

  Xiao Qianzhen was really anxious, with his temper, he might have given up already, but it hadn't reached that point yet.

  Xiao Qian looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Grandfather, you are being biased towards outsiders!"

  "I'm biased, and in my heart, Xiao Yan is not an outsider, but if you dare to mess with me again, I'll make you an outsider!"

  "Xiao Qian looked at Xiao Yi, then fiercely glared at Gu Yan."

  What kind of soul-stirring soup did she feed to Grandpa, after all these years, seeing her various disagreements with him, seeing her various shortcomings and instability, but Grandpa still stands on her side.

  By the way

  That chapter is also for today! I accidentally clicked on the wrong one!

  You think I'm talking nonsense, but actually he didn't mean it that way!
