âNo way!â Mr. and Mrs. Hai Rong disagreed in unison.
Hai Rong said coldly, âXiaotang, you canât get a divorce just like that. Absolutely not!â
â Why not?â Hai Xiaotang felt frustrated. She was the one wanting to divorce, why were they meddling so much?
âIt just canât happen, thatâs final! I just wonât allow it!â Hai Rong then turned to his silent father, âDad, what do you think?â
Hai Zhiyuan did not readily respond, he muttered slowly, âIndeed, this is a problem. Xiaotang wants to divorce without asking for a penny, but you wonât let her. Itâs a problem indeed.â
âGrandpa, your approval is enough!â Hai Xiaotang quickly interjected.
Zhan Yu nudged her and said, âXiaotang, the adults are having a discussion now, you shouldnât say anything.â
âBut Iâm the one who wants to divorce⦠â
âBut it has to go through our approval.â
âWiry?â
âBecause the interests of the Hai Family are unified!â
Hai Xiaotang: ââ¦â
She could only look at Grandpa in desperation, hoping that he would approve. If he did, her uncle and his wife would have no objections, right?
However, Xiaotang seemed to have overlooked something. Grandpaâs affection for her was immeasurable.
Nonetheless, what Zhan Yu said was not wrong, the interests of the Hai family were indeed unified.
With Hai Rong and his wife opposing so fiercely, he couldnât always go along with Xiaotang.
After all, he was facing imminent death, and the only relative upon whom Xiaotang would be able to rely in the future was themâ¦
Seeing grandpa fall silent, Hai Xiaotang began to feel uneasy.
Unlike Hai Rong and his wife, Dongfang Yu and his family were sipping tea calmly until this very moment.
Dongfang Zujie was the one who finally spoke up, âUncle Hai, it indeed isnât appropriate for Xiaotang to divorce without claiming any assets. Our Dongfang Family wouldnât do something like this either. You just name the price.â
Hai Zhiyuan managed a smile, âI canât say anything about thatâitâs Xiaotangâs divorce, we canât make all the decisions.â
âLetâs follow the law,â Hai Rong interjected. âLegally, upon divorce, the coupleâs assets are split half and half. Letâs just stick with that.â
Hai Xiaotangâs eyes widened!
How did Uncle dare to say such a thing?
Split half and halfâ¦Were they robbing a national bank?
Sheâd be surprised if Dongfang Yuâs parents didnât curse at him!
However, Dongfang Yuâs family was surprisingly composed, with no signs of anger or contempt.
All of a sudden, He Meilian laughed amiably and said, âYuyu probably doesnât even know how much he personally owns. Splitting it half and half isnât entirely impossibleâ¦â
âI donât want it!â Hai Xiaotang flatly refused. She looked serious as she said,âI donât want his money!â
All she wanted was to divorce, and if she were to take his money, sheâd despise herself.
She married Dongfang Yu not for his wealth.
Now, what she wanted was to put an end to her unhappiness from her past life. Taking his money would mean changing the meaning of everything.
On top of that, she saw no reason to take his moneyâ¦
Everyone was looking at Hai Xiaotang. Just as Zhan Yu was about to scold her, she interrupted, âNobody should say a word! I must divorce, and I donât want even a penny of his money!â
Zhan Yu looked about to blow her top. âXiaotang, this is not something you can decide on your own!â
Hai Xiaotang got mad,âWhy not? Iâm the one who wants to divorce, why are you all intervening?â
âBecause you could have married himâ¦â
âAlright, everyone shut up!â Hai Zhiyuan sternly interrupted, and Zhan Yu dared not say another word.
Hai Xiaotang always felt as if her Aunt was implying something, but it was merely a momentâs suspicion.
