Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tang Mo sat in front of the desk, a cigarette between his fingers. When he spoke to her, he lit it and took a deep breath, his eyes filled with fatigue and haggardness.
After the Old Master left, he did not seem to sleep well.
“When I was still alive, I was most worried about you. You have to take good care of yourself,” Nan Xun said slowly.
Tang Mo’s thoughts were slightly blank and he did not know what he was thinking. “You haven’t answered my question.”
Nan Xun furrowed his eyebrows and replied truthfully, “I don’t know why Grandpa gave me so many shares, but I won’t accept it. I’ll transfer it to you.”
Tang Mo tapped the cigarette between his slender fingers on the ashtray and smirked. “Grandpa has long seen that there’s no relations.h.i.+p between us.”
“I found a letter in his room. He told me not to force you anymore. The 10% shares are your compensation. If he didn’t force you, you wouldn’t have married me.”
Nan Xun pursed her lips tightly and met Tang Mo’s bloodshot eyes. Her heart tightened. “I appreciate Grandpa’s kindness, but I really can’t accept so many shares.”
Tang Mo leaned back against the chair and looked at the ceiling. “Since Grandpa has given it to you, accept it.”
His voice was very hoa.r.s.e and weak. “Grandpa can see through it, but I’m deeply involved. I thought that by forcing you to stay by my side, I could continue this marriage.”
“I didn’t consider your feelings. You have another man in your heart. If I want to interfere, I’m just forcing you.”
This was the first time Nan Xun had heard Tang Mo speak to her in such a tone.
He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be mocking himself, making Nan Xun’s heart feel inexplicably heavy.
Tang Mo did not want that feeling of punching cotton again, nor did he want that marriage with no response!
He and Nan Xun had gotten together wrongly from the start.
If they could not continue, they should separate peacefully.
According to Grandpa’s last wish, he would set her free.
After careful consideration, Tang Mo made a decision.
His gaze landed on Nan Xun again and he took out a doc.u.ment from the drawer. “I’ve already gotten the lawyer to draft the divorce agreement. The shares Grandpa gave you will be compensation for the divorce.”
“I signed it. But Grandpa has just left and the Tang Corporation is still at the center of attention. The divorce certificate will only be settled by you after a while. Don’t worry, this doc.u.ment will have a legal effect after
we sign it. We won’t be husband and wife anymore.”
Nan Xun looked down at the divorce agreement Tang Mo handed over.
A few minutes later, Nan Xun said, “Apart from the shares, I have no objections.”
Hearing Nan Xun’s words, Tang Mo clenched his fists slightly.
When she was looking at the divorce agreement just now, his gaze was on her and she did not hesitate or hesitate.
She was not moved or reluctant to part with him.
Tang Mo had been a playboy and only women had ever sucked up to him. With Nan Xun, he had to admit that he had met with a failure.
“It’s from Grandpa. Just accept it.” His tone was firm.
Nan Xun was about to say something when the sound of a cup breaking came from the door of the study.
Nan Xun hurriedly got up and opened the door.
Mrs Tang stood at the door with the broken teacup under her feet.
Seeing Nan Xun, Mrs Tang said with red eyes, “Xun’er, don’t listen to Tang Mo. He’s my son. I can tell that he needs you!”
“Mom, Tang Mo and I…”
Before Nan Xun could finish, Tang Mo’s voice trailed over. “Mom, you know that I had no choice but to marry Nan Xun. She’s nothing compared to those women I had in the past. I don’t like her at all. Otherwise, I
wouldn’t have raised Mi Yue after we got married…”
Mrs Tang’s expression changed and she was furious. “Shut up!”
Mrs Tang hurriedly grabbed Nan Xun’s hand. “Don’t listen to him. He’s talking nonsense! He only has you in his heart now!”
“Mom, I wanted to live well with her at one point, but later I understood that I only treated her as a savior. After my accident, she didn’t despise me like Mi Yue did. I was touched by her, but that wasn’t love.”
“If it wasn’t for that accident, I might not even look at her, let alone like her!”
Nan Xun pursed her lips tightly and looked at Tang Mo. “I know, so I’ve never thought too much about it.”
She had always been on high alert, not letting herself be charmed by his sugar-coated bullets. That was why she was not sad when she pulled away.
Tang Mo’s handsome face was expressionless. “Leave. I’ll tell my mother about our situation.”
an Xun did not know how Tang Mo communicated with Mrs Tang.
She packed her luggage and was about to leave when Mrs Tang did not ask her to stay.
But from her red eyes, he could see that she was reluctant to part with this daughter-in-law.
an Xun got into the car and tears flowed unconsciously.
After marrying Tang Mo, she had moved to the Tang family’s old residence and had not taken much. In her heart, she had only treated this place as a temporary harbor.
tt was only when Mrs Tang and Old Master treated her sincerely that she slowly treated this place as home.
But now, she was leaving this house.
it was impossible for her to remain unmoved.
However, no matter how reluctant and sad she was, she had to leave.
This was the freedom she had longed for.
an Xun lowered the car window and waved at Mrs Tang, who was standing at the door. Then, she started the engine and left.
Tang Mo stood on the balcony on the second floor, his hands on the white jade carved railing. He was wearing a loose black s.h.i.+rt and the wind lifted his s.h.i.+rt. His figure was slender and thin, exuding a loneliness that
made people’s hearts ache.
Tang Xun had planted someone in the old residence.
The butler was one of them.
He called Tang Xun and reported what had happened at the old residence.
After finding out that Tang Mo and Nan Xun had signed the divorce agreement, Tang Xun’s expression darkened.
Seeing Tang Xun’s dark expression after the call, Liu Xiu asked softly, “Master, what happened?”
“That unfilial son divorced Nan Xun and let someone take away his shares.”
Tang Xun waved his hand. “I’m going back to the old residence.”
After Tang Xun left, Liu Xiu found Tang Xu and told him about Tang Mo and Nan Xun’s divorce.
Tang Xu was not surprised. “Those two were not from the same path to begin with. It was all thanks to Old Master that they could get to where they are today. Now that Old Master is gone, of course they have to
disband.”
Liu Xiu said, “I don’t care if we break up or not, but that woman has more shares than you. Are you letting her take advantage of you just like that?”
“Your father only added 20% of your shares. If we can get hers, we will be on par with Tang Mo. Then, you will be on par with him in the company!”.
