Chapter 663: Extra Chapter 076: Signing Divorce (First Update)

“I’m not a good man!” Mu Cidian coldly said to Lei Qian.

Lei Qian looked at Mu Cidian, tears welling up in her eyes.

Her heart was in great pain.

She loved him so much.

And his reason for rejecting her was just a few words.

Just a few “I’m not a good man”!

It choked off all the words she wanted to say for reconciliation, she couldn’t utter a single word.

She asked, the only thing she could say, “Can we not divorce?”

“No.” He was cold and merciless.

Finally, she experienced the cruelty of this man.

Her eyes were flaming red, holding back the emotions of a mental breakdown, she said, “Alright.”

She could only say alright.

Mu Cidian’s eyes slightly moved.

That moment, there was a tinge of restraint towards Lei Qian.

If she adamantly refused to divorce at this moment, perhaps he would have no feelings for her anymore, but now she agreed.

Agreed, albeit reluctantly.

He said, his voice still faint, “I will compensate you.”

“I don’t need your compensation.” Lei Qian said deeply, “In this world, other than you, I don’t want anything else.”

Mu Cidian looked at her tear-streaked face.

He turned around coldly, “You will need it.”

He returned to his room.

Lei Qian looked at his closed door.

Her softness instantly turned into a hideous expression, she glared at Mu Cidian’s door.

Was she really someone to be trifled with like this?!

She was not!

Before Wan Quan died, he told her that this man Mu Cidian is hard to truly capture, urging her to be more cautious, to learn more tactics, or else Mu Cidian would still belong to Xin Zaozao!

At that time, she didn’t really take it to heart. She just really underestimated Mu Cidian’s feelings for Xin Zaozao.

Now, she knew.

Because she knew, she would heed Wan Quan’s words.

She would listen to him, choosing to go all out!

She returned to her room and closed the door tightly.

At this moment, Mu Cidian was lying on his own bed.

His eyes were closed, in a state of contemplation.

He would divorce tomorrow.

He had prepared all the divorce agreement a long time ago.

To be precise.

Since he saw Xin Zaozao again with a baby bump, he had been drafting this agreement in his mind.

He turned over.

The phone rang at this moment.

He answered, “Song Lifei.”

“How is Xin Zaozao now?”

“The doctor said she’s fine. I’ve left now.”

“You left?” Song Lifei wondered, “She’s alone at the hospital and you left her?”

“She didn’t let me stay.”

“She didn’t let you stay and you just left? Since when are you so obedient?”

“I’m not in a moral position to stay, I don’t want to tarnish her reputation.”

“There seems to be more to what you’re saying.” Song Lifei raised an eyebrow.

“I’m getting a divorce tomorrow.”

“Finally came to your senses?” Song Lifei laughed.

He had known long ago that Mu Cidian would regret it, that he would inevitably come back.

As long as there was a slight disturbance in Xin Zaozao’s life, Mu Cidian wouldn’t be able to let go.

It pained his heart.

He eagerly hoped that Mu Cidian and Xin Zaozao would part ways forever, yet he couldn’t help but interfere with them.

What could he do when his sense of integrity was so ingrained in him?

“Yeah.”

“Then I’ll wait for your good news tomorrow.” Song Lifei laughed.

Mu Cidian responded.

Just as Song Lifei was about to hang up the phone.

“Lifei.”

“Hmm?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Has there been any progress on the ecological park project?” Mu Cidian suddenly asked.

Song Lifei pursed his lips, he said, “Xin Zaozao doesn’t want me to share with outsiders.”

“I know.” Mu Cidian didn’t mind, he straightforwardly said, “I just wanted to remind you to check out Lei Qiang, Lei Qian’s father, this matter is likely related to him.”

“How do you mean?” Song Lifei asked purposely.

“First, the contractors He Jianguo and Wu Wensheng must have colluded, but without evidence, the police can’t make a case. However, he was the one who encouraged the villagers to invest, he must have benefited.”

“I’m aware of that.” Song Lifei nodded.

“Second. Wu Wensheng has been working with Lei Qiang for years, Lei Qiang and he have a great relationship, and Wu Wensheng is almost completely loyal to Lei Qiang. In other words, while Lei Qiang’s relationship with He Jianguo seems somewhat awkwardly amicable, Wu Wensheng has maintained a good relationship with He Jianguo all along, which is strange.”

“Hmm.” Song Lifei nodded faintly.

“Third. Lei Qiang has always expressed no liking for He Jianguo, yet he still invested in He Jianguo’s project, which is even more absurd. Of course, it can be assumed that Wu Wensheng mediated this affair, but this assumption does not hold up. Generally speaking, if Wu Wensheng had mediated, then Lei Qiang should have intervened instead of helping.”

Song Lifei was truly amazed at Mu Cidian’s logic.

“Fourth. Lei Qiang also invested a significant amount of money. But from start to finish, he never showed any sign of having been conned out of his money, and he kept pacifying the villagers. He’s indeed a good village chief, but human nature dictates that it’s not possible to be so indifferent.”

“Indeed.” Song Lifei affirmed.

“Lastly.” Mu Cidian pursed his lips, “I researched a previous fraudulent fundraising project in Lei’s village, the project was similar to the current situation, where the investors ran off with the donation money. At that time, all the villagers were scammed out of a lot of money, Lei Qiang was one of them, but Lei Qian, who had also been defrauded of money, did not live in poverty, on the contrary, Lei Qiang even bought a house in the city for Lei Qian.”

“He was so blatant?”

“I looked into Lei Qian’s house, it was paid for in full. But to the public, Lei Qiang said that Lei Qian paid the down payment with her savings from years of work, and then paid the monthly mortgage.” Mu Cidian said, “This alone is enough to prove that there’s something off with Lei Qiang’s finances.”

“Alright, I know what to do.” Song Lifei understood what Mu Cidian was hinting at him.

Sometimes when you can’t get to the truth from one angle, you can approach it from another.

Mu Cidian’s thinking was indeed much faster than the average person’s.

“Yeah.” Mu Cidian responded.

“But Mu Cidian, isn’t this what you’d call kin destroying righteousness?” Song Lifei teasingly asked.

“I’m getting a divorce tomorrow,” Mu Cidian announced matter-of-factly.

“So, you’re abandoning ship after crossing the river?”

“…”

“What can I do, I just like seeing you being cold-blooded, decisive and ruthless. I feel this is the Mu Cidian I once knew, not the indecisive man tangled in feelings, life, and self-restraints.”

“Thanks for the praise,” Mu Cidian replied, promptly hanging up.

Song Lifei looked at the phone, chuckling helplessly.

Looks like,

He’s going to have to standby and watch Mu Cidian and Xin Zaozao expressing love for each other.

He always felt that when Mu Cidian sets his mind to something, he could accomplish anything.

Including…love.

…

The next day.

Mu Cidian got up early.

Dressed in a suit and tie.

Lei Qian also got up.

She saw Mu Cidian sitting on the couch waiting for her when she woke up.

She did not know when he sat down there, she only knew, he was in a hurry.

Anxious to break up with her.

She smiled lightly, “Cidian, let’s have breakfast together.”

“No,” Mu Cidian refused.

Lei Qian pursed her lips.

“Then wait for me a bit, I’ll go change clothes.”

“Sign the divorce agreement first. Look through the contents,” Mu Cidian stated straightforwardly.

Lei Qian swallowed.

She bit her lip.

Reluctantly, she went over.

She looked at the terms in the divorce agreement.

Wan Quan’s house was gifted to her, plus 20 million in cash.

20 million.

Lei Qian’s eyes widened, she thought she was mistaken.

She asked, “Cidian, did you make a mistake? Where did you get this much money?”

All this time, Lei Qian had no idea what Mu Cidian was doing.

All she knew is that Mu Cidian never lacked money, deep down she thought all this money was from Xin Zaozao’s previous donations to Mu Cidian, she even thought he had no particular job.

How could he offer so much money.

“No mistake,” Mu Cidian took out a card “20 million in this card, once you sign the agreement, the money is yours.”

Lei Qian still couldn’t believe it.

She still couldn’t believe that it was 20 million.

“Is there anything else to add?” It seemed that Mu Cidian didn’t want to explain further and he asked Lei Qian.

Lei Qian lowered her head further, continuing to read.

She couldn’t deny that she was in awe of the sum “20 million.”

If she divorced, she could get 20 million, and a reasonable low-end apartment. All she did was stay with Mu Cidian for six months and she could get such a great wealth, anyone would think it’s a good deal.

However,

Her face changed slightly while looking at the agreement.

If Mu Cidian could casually give her this much money, could it be that he has even more money? If they divorced, would all this money belong to Xin Zaozao?

She felt extremely jealous in her heart.

“Any questions?” Mu Cidian saw Lei Qian staring at the divorce agreement without signing and asked.

“No, I just feel you are giving me too much…”

“If there are no other questions, sign it.” Mu Cidian remained aloof.

He seemed not want to hear any doubts from Lei Qian.

Lei Qian bit her lip.

She picked up the pen.

The moment she was about to sign,

Her phone suddenly rang.

Lei Qian took a deep breath of relief.

She knew from the start that Mu Cidian would make her sign the agreement immediately. So, she told her father to call her in 10 minutes. Last night, she had already thought about how to deal with the divorce.

Luckily, he called on time.

She quickly put down the pen and answered the phone.

Mu Cidian furrowed his brows, he chose to remain silent at this moment.

Lei Qian answered, “Dad, what’s up?”

Lei Qiang responded from the other side, “Qianqian, come home quick, people are causing trouble at home again. Your mom’s high blood pressure has shot up, and she’s on her way to the hospital in town. Come back quickly, quickly…”

Lei Qian’s face changed immediately.

She hastily said, “Ok, ok, I’m coming back immediately! I’ll be back right away!”

Having said that, she got up and was about to leave.

Mu Cidian suddenly grabbed her arm.

Lei Qian looked at Mu Cidian, at his cold appearance.

Lei Qian’s eyes reddened, “Mu Cidian, my mom’s blood pressure shot up and she’s now in the hospital. Can we discuss our matter after I take care of my mom? I really have no mood to do anything else right now.”

“Signing won’t take long. After signing, I will go and process the divorce papers, and you can go back to accompany your mother.”

“Do you really have to push me at this time? Mu Cidian, I’m really worried about my mother, I don’t want to do anything else right now. I only want to go back and stay with her. I hope you can understand my feelings, I beg you…”

Mu Cidian’s throat moved slightly.

He just looked at Lei Qian’s teary eyes.

“My mother had high blood pressure once before, it caused a cerebral hemorraghe. The doctor almost declared her brain dead, but miraculously she woke up. It hasn’t happened for a number of years now, if it happens again, I fear my mom…” Lei Qian couldn’t help but burst into tears.

She cried with a sense of grievance.

Mu Cidian just stared at her, yet he still didn’t let go.

“Mu Cidian, weren’t my parents nice to you? They knew your parents were gone and they truly treated you like their own son. You see, every time you went back, didn’t my mother cook all your favorite dishes? Mu Cidian, even if we get divorced, my parents’ kindness to you still exists, right? Can you let me go back first for my parents’ sake? I promise I’ll come back to divorce you once my mother is okay, I promise…”

Lei Qian spoke earnestly. She looked unbearably distressed.

Mu Cidian let go of her hand.

Lei Qian smirked inwardly, Wan Quan was right, Mu Cidian gives in to soft tactics.

But she kept a sorrowful expression on her face, “Thank you, Mu Cidian. I really appreciate it. I knew you weren’t as bad as you said, I knew it.”

No.

He was.
