Transmigrated into a Parvenu’s Ex-wife in the ‘90s-Chapter 13: Physical Evidence (2)
Chapter 13 - Physical Evidence (2)
“We met through a matchmaker and got married after meeting each other twice. Can you really say that we were in love with each other? Shu Yan, I know that you have been taking care of the home all these years and taking care of the kids, which was why I have decided to give you the house and all the cash we have at home. Worse case scenario….” Ye Zhiqiang gritted his teeth, “I will take the children. I didn’t think it through clearly before. It’d be difficult for you to get remarried with two children. Without them and with a house and some cash, you can easily find someone better than me.”
He had only seen the children from Shu Yan a few times, hugged his son a couple of times when he was born, but that was it. He was never that close to them, which was why he had no hesitation when he said he’d give both children to Shu Yan when Li Jiaojiao said she was worried that her child would be bullied by its older half-brother and half-sister.
Ye Zhiqiang figured that he didn’t mind spending a small amount of money. He would pay for their tuition later on as well. All in all, he wouldn’t let anything bad happen to Jiaojiao’s child. In her words, this child was the product of their love.
But the situation had changed. Now that she was lording over them with such evidence, he’d have to take a step back. Worst case scenario, he could always give the children to his parents back in the village. That way, they would not affect his life with Jiaojiao at all.
It was true that the two of them met through a matchmaker. But, they had spent so many years together, not to mention the original owner had given him two children. There should be some love between them even if they were not in love with each other. Afterall, that’s how everybody spent their lives back in the village, no? At the end of the day, Ye Zhiqiang has money now and he no longer want the wife that he had at home. He wanted to upgrade to a younger, prettier, and more cultured woman.
“We can get a divorce,” said Shu Yan directly, not wanting to beat around the bush anymore, “But I don’t agree with what you have proposed earlier.”
“What do you mean? You didn’t think that’s enough money? You know that all my money is tied up in the projects, and I still owe material fees to my suppliers. Not to mention all the men’s salaries that needed to be paid out.” Looking at Shu Yan, Ye Zhiqiang gritted his teeth and said with great difficulty, “How about this? I will go borrow some money. I should be able to get another $20,000. That’s in addition to the $10,000 we have at home. That will give you $30,000. How many in your village has $30,000 under their name, huh?”
Shu Yan snickered to herself. Had she not known about all his assets, she might have fallen for this. He wanted to get rid of her for a mere $30,000. Not a chance!
“I’ll have a divorce. You leave me with everything you have.”
Ye Zhiqiang stood up in surprise, “What made you think you could do that?”
“From you having an affair? And knocking up your lover. If we are to go to court with that, that’s what the court would have sentenced you anyways. Ye Zhiqiang, I have witnesses and physical evidence. If you know what’s good for you, you’d go leave me with everything you have and leave. Otherwise, I will see you in court.”
