Chapter 761: The Divorce Agreement
Xia Ning’s hand stopped for a second. Something flickered in her eyes. She looked up at Qiao Yu. “Dad left, leaving this house for Mom and me. Mom doesn’t want this place, so we left.”
She was very brief, but he knew the process was not that simple. Qiao Yu looked at her. “Did I ask something sad?”
“Not really.” Xia Ning smiled slightly. “It’s all in the past. Sometimes, I think it’s a blessing to have my parents together in Heaven. I should be happy for them.”
Back then, her father left all of a sudden and left the house for her mother. His meaning was obvious. It was the breakup fee. Why would her mother want it? She cared so much about her relations.h.i.+p with her father. Even if her father used the house to humiliate her, she had to maintain her dignity.
And the reason why his father left his mother was not that he did not love her, but because he loved her too much.
Until today, the perpetrator did not think she was wrong. She could not forgive and would never forgive.
“Mummy, let’s go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park later, okay?” Enoch who was drinking congee suddenly said to Xia Ning.
Xia Ning turned around to look at her son’s little face and smiled slightly. “Maybe later. Mummy is a bit busy these days.”
“Okay,” Enoch replied. He lowered his head and continued eating the congee.
Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning and asked, “The Shen Group is holding a board meeting tomorrow?”
“Yes!” Xia Ning nodded and looked at Qiao Yu. “Are you coming?”
“Do you want me to go?” Qiao Yu asked back.
Xia Ning smiled calmly. “I don’t think so. I’m afraid you’ll hate me if you see me being so overbearing.”
“No!” Qiao Yu said directly. “I like all kinds of you.”
Xia Ning was surprised. This confession came without warning.
“Me too!” Enoch looked up at Xia Ning with twinkling eyes.
Xia Ning turned her head to look at her son’s little face and could not help but touch his head. She said with a smile, “Mummy likes you too.”
In the old Shen house, in the living room, people were coming and going. The Shen family was sitting on the sofa. All of them looked gloomy and unhappy.
Shen Yuanqi was sitting in the middle of the sofa with a photo frame in his hand. He stroked the beautiful figure on it carefully, his eyes showing some frustration.
In the photo, it was a girl in her teens. She was wearing a school uniform from the Republic of China period. She stood under the tree and smiled sweetly at the camera.
“Grandpa, don’t let them move!” Shen Weiwei looked at Old Master Shen and came up to him. She grabbed his arm and shook it. “Those belong to us. Why should we give them to that b*tch Xia Ning?”
Shen Tianlang darted a look at Shen Weiwei. He was too lazy to correct her now. Who in the Shen family would not bear grudges against Xiao Ke now?
Old Master Shen’s hand that was touching the photo paused. He looked to the front and asked suddenly, “Weiwei, have you met your grandma before?”
“Isn’t Grandma at home?” Shen Weiwei did not understand what Old Master Shen meant.
“I was talking about your biological grandmother,” Old Master Shen corrected.
Shen Weiwei was surprised. She looked at her grandfather’s face and answered, “Didn’t she die a long time ago?”
“Yes, she pa.s.sed away many years ago.” Old Master Shen closed his eyes slightly. “But this cannot change the fact that she is your grandmother.”
“But she never lived with us!” Shen Weiwei was a bit upset. “She did not treat me well either. Why should I respect her?”
Old Master Shen suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Shen Weiwei with sharp eyes.
Shen Weiwei lowered her head at his gaze. She was the most afraid when Grandpa got serious.
Old Master Shen took back his gaze and suddenly took out a doc.u.ment from behind him. He said to the advising lawyer who came today, “Help me settle this divorce agreement.”
