Transmigrated into a Parvenu’s Ex-wife in the ‘90s-Chapter 31: A Visit From The Family (1)
Chapter 31 - A Visit From The Family (1)
She has no idea how Ye Zhiqiang did it, but she received her remaining $1.2 million in her account within the next three day.
They officially signed the divorce papers.
“Most of this money are for the two children. Shu Yan, don’t let that cousin of yours and your family take you for all you have got,” said Ye Zhiqiang as he wrote his name down. Everything suddenly felt wrong.
He had worked so hard for all these and, all of a sudden, they were all going to his ex-wife. Not to mention the way that she was taking them from him, and that Jiaojiao’s reputation was ruined.
“You don’t need to worry about that.” With the divorce decree in hand, Shu Yan let out a big sigh of relief. She handed over a paper bag to him and said, “Here’s the rest of the pictures and the negatives. We will be strangers from this point forward.”
Walking out of the government building and seeing Shu Jianyang driving his car, Ye Zhiqiang’s mouth twitched again. He hrmped, turned, and walked away.
“Dad!” Ye Tianbao stuck his head out from the car and called out to him.
Ye Zhiqiang’s body shuddered, but he didn’t turn around.
“Dad!!” shouted Ye Tianbao again, but still, his father did not turn around.
Little kids didn’t know any better. They gleaned what they could from what adults told them. Old Mrs. Ye had always told the kids how hard their father worked outside to make money to support them, and how nice he was to them. So even though the two children didn’t see Ye Zhiqiang very often, they still very much looked up to him.
Ye Tianbao bawled. Seeing that, Shu Yan wrapped her arms around him and patted him on his shoulder. Lately, Ye Tianbao had been throwing a lot of fits, and she had always ignored him. But today was different. As awful a person as Ye Zhiqiang was, in the eyes of the children, he was still their father. Not to mention Ye Tianbao’s young age. He wouldn’t know any better.
“Mommy will take care of you and your sister from now on.”
Ye Jingjing held onto Shu Yan’s clothes cautiously. Her brother was still young and didn’t know better. She, on the other hand, understood a lot of it. Her father no longer wished to be with their mother, just like the father of the Dai Niu, another girl from the village, who no longer wished to be with her mother and found Dainu a new mother.
Shu Yan found out that night from Shu Jianyang that part of the money that Ye Zhiqiang had given her was from loans with outrageous interest rate. So, he was drowning in debt right now.
“You don’t need to worry about him. As long as he doesn’t do anything crazy and finish up his two projects on hand, he will be able to pay off all his debts as soon as he got paid,” said Shu Jianyang, thinking that Shu Yan was feeling bad for him. After all, they had been married for years and had two kids together.
To his surprise, Shu Yan shook her head and said extremely unhappily, “I didn’t think he would still be able to get out of this situation.”
Shu Jianyang, “……”
“What do you have in mind then?” Shu Jianyang felt that he still didn’t know Shu Yan as well as he thought he did.
“Third Brother, didn’t you say you wanted to open up your own construction company? Why don’t you try to take away Ye Zhiqiang’s jobs while you have the chance?” The more Shu Yan thought about it, the more she thought her idea would work. “He doesn’t have any working capital right now. Any little issues that arise, he’d be stuck. Just take his manpower for example. Don’t you want them?”
That was tempting to Shu Jianyang. These last couple of days he realized that workers were difficult to find. Good foremen were difficult to find. He has the stage ready, but no actors. How was he to put up a show then?
“Just like you’ve said. Both of his projects are quite lucrative. If you can take it over, it’s a sure win.” Shu Yan still felt that it was a great opportunity for him.
