But the old man was very firm about his stance.

No matter what she said, he just wouldn’t agree to their divorce.

Hai Xiaotang couldn’t afford to have a big argument with him, his blood pressure wasn’t good, and if she made him angry, he could have an episode.

So she could only take it slow, and believe that one day, she would persuade her grandfather to agree to their divorce.

But what happened next made her frustrated.

The old man wanted to kick her out!

“Since Ayu is back, Xiaotang can go back with him. It’s not ideal for you to be staying at your parents’ house for such a long period. I’ve already had your belongings packed. You should go back with Ayu now. It’s getting late, you both should head back to rest.”

Hai Xiaotang was evicted before she could even argue to stay.

Oh well, since it was not possible for them to get a divorce at this moment, she might as well live with Dongfang Yu temporarily.

After all, living under the same roof wouldn’t kill her.

Dongfang Yu and Hai Xiaotang sat in the backseat together.

On the way back, Hai Xiaotang kept looking out the window, acting as if he was invisible.

Dongfang Yu had quite some drinks earlier tonight, he rested his head on his hand and lazily looked at her, “Hai Xiaotang, let’s talk.”

“About what?” Hai Xiaotang didn’t bother to turn her head.

“Should I talk to the back of your head?”

With no other option, Hai Xiaotang turned to face him, her expression blank. “Go ahead, tell me why you suddenly changed your mind about the divorce?”

Dongfang Yu straightened his posture and said in a low voice, “I’ve told you before, getting a divorce is not as easy for us.”

Hai Xiaotang scoffed, “I don’t believe it’s that hard. As long as you agree, we can get a divorce anytime.”

“Your grandfather won’t agree.”

“If you agree to the divorce, how could he disagree? It’s because you don’t agree that he doesn’t.”

Dongfang Yu looked at her intently and responded with a slight smile, “Hmm, indeed, I don’t agree either.”

“Wiry?”

“Since the company went public in the United States, the value of our stock has multiplied hundreds of times. I’m sure you’re aware.”

Hai Xiaotang didn’t understand, “What does that have to do with this?”

Dongfang Yu leaned back in his chair, “The value of the company now is many times what it used to be. In the future, the company will have even greater development opportunities, which means it’ll gain more profits…”

Hai Xiaotang now understood.

“You suspected that I wanted a divorce to split property?”

Hai Xiaotang sighed in relief, “Well, you can rest assured, I don’t want a penny. As long as you agree to the divorce.”

Dongfang Yu raised one eyebrow, “Don’t want a single penny?”

“Yes, I swear!” Hai Xiaotang raised her hand, undeterred, “If I covet your money, then may I drop dead and may my whole family perish!”

She figured that after declaring this, Dongfang Yu would be relieved and agree to the divorce.

However,…

Dongfang Yu gave a satisfied nod, “So, I do need a wife like you.”

“What?” Hai Xiaotang was stunned.

The man, with his slender fingers, held her chin and smiled charmingly.

“You know as well as I do, finding a woman who isn’t after my money is near impossible. Since you’re my wife and don’t want my pennies, no one is more suitable than you to be my wife.”

“…” Hai Xiaotang instantly frowned.

She pushed his hand away and replied with a forced smile, “So that’s what you’re up to. Let me tell you, I am not interested in being your freeloading wife. Don’t even dream of taking advantage of me!”

“Isn’t it you who’s taking advantage of me?” Dongfang Yu retorted.

“Me?”
