Chapter 478 Extra Chapter: Twelve Years Old (Part Six)

The residents here quickly learned what had happened to Vice President Yao's family, who had only recently moved in.

"President Yao's mistress came to his door demanding an explanation."

"Yes, I heard she's already pregnant!"

"Are all mistresses this brazen these days? So blatantly?"

"It must have been with Lao Yao's permission! I heard she's carrying a boy, that's why she's so bold."

"He scared the children to tears! This Bank Manager Yao... I never expected him to be this kind of person!"

"Who can disagree! You can know a person's face but not their heart. Xiang Mingyue is such a good person!"

These past two days, almost everyone has been talking about Yao Shushu's family. These are all things that Yao Shushu deliberately spread.

When her mother took her away before, her grandmother spread a lot of rumors behind her back.

When others asked, she said that her mother had someone else outside. When others said they didn't believe her, she turned around and said that if she wasn't in the wrong, why would she leave with nothing and not take anything?

Everyone thought it made sense; if they weren't in the wrong, why would they refuse everything?

But now... almost everyone is criticizing Yao Mingqi, and these words have also reached Yao Shushu's grandparents.

They hadn't expected things to turn out this way; it was completely different from what they had imagined.

Now they're afraid to go out. Whenever they do, people will deliberately ask them when they're planning to have a grandchild...

It was under these circumstances that Yao Mingqi returned.

...

Yao Mingqi was shocked to see Wang Xiaohan return in such a disheveled state; he had no idea how things had turned out this way.

"Your wife says that you change women every now and then, and she's gotten used to it!"

She added that she didn't mind at all, since these women outside were cleaner than princesses and young ladies, and they didn't cost her any money.

"Yao Mingqi, you've ruined me!" Wang Xiaohan was going crazy.

Yao Mingqi was completely dumbfounded. Xiang Mingyue knew about his affairs outside?

There was no other way, so he had to come back in person to resolve these issues.

...

When Yao Mingqi entered the room, Xiang Mingyue and Yao Shushu were watching TV in the living room.

When Yao Mingqi entered, the two of them only glanced at him before continuing to watch TV.

Yao Mingqi glanced at Xiang Mingyue, then at Yao Shushu, feeling a little guilty and uncomfortable.

In the past, when he came back, Xiang Mingyue would always greet him warmly and ask how he was doing, and Yao Shushu would run out of her room to hug him and act cute...

Now... the two of them look at him like he's a stranger.

Seeing that neither of them paid any attention to him, Yao Mingqi had no choice but to sit down on the sofa with a stiff upper lip.

Xiang Mingyue and Yao Shushu still ignored him.

Yao Mingqi thought for a moment, then spoke first.

"Shushu, go back to your room first. Dad has something to talk to your mother about!" Yao Ming gestured for Yao Shushu to leave.

Yao Shushu didn't even glance at Yao Mingqi, continuing to refuse while watching TV.

"No, you just want to talk to my mom about that pregnant woman outside, right? And then casually mention divorce? Since we're talking about divorce, then this matter concerns me, why should I avoid it!"

"Shushu is right. Things have come to this point, there's no point in hiding it anymore."

Shushu already knows, although we were the last to find out. Didn't your parents already take Wang Xiaohan to the hospital for a checkup and find out that she's carrying a boy?

Why keep something that everyone already knows from Shushu?

"Talk about whatever you want! Talk in front of Shushu!" Xiang Mingyue said with a smile.

Xiang Mingyue's frankness left Yao Mingqi at a loss for words.

"Bright moon..."

"Get to the point! Stop the nonsense!" Xiang Mingyue said calmly.

Yao Mingqi didn't know what to say. His original plan was for Xiang Mingyue to file for divorce, but given the current situation, it seemed unlikely that Xiang Mingyue would take the initiative to do so.

It seems I need to change my strategy!

"Mingyue, let's get a divorce!" Yao Mingqi said to Xiang Mingyue.

Although Xiang Mingyue had already made this plan, she still felt a little uneasy after Yao Mingqi personally said he wanted a divorce.

It turns out Yao Mingqi really couldn't wait to divorce me!

However... this divorce isn't so easy!

Thinking about what she and Yao Shushu had talked about these past two days, Xiang Mingyue suddenly felt more at ease.

Yao Ming's decision to file for divorce means he has taken control of the situation...

"Divorce? Have you thought it through? Have you decided to give that woman and her unborn child a home?" Xiang Mingyue asked with a smile.

“Mingyue, things are not as simple as you think... things are different between us now than before.”

"Let's part ways amicably, okay? Consider it my fault!" Yao Mingqi said in a low voice.

Yao Mingqi's words ignited Xiang Mingyue's anger.

All my hard work over the years, and he thinks he can just brush it all off with an apology...

Seeing that Xiang Mingyue was about to lose her temper, Yao Shushu quickly coughed.

Xiang Mingyue immediately calmed down. Her daughter was right. If things couldn't go on like this, then they shouldn't continue.

Since it's over, I need to do something to prove myself.

Xiang Mingyue chuckled and leaned back on the sofa behind her.

"A clean break? Great! Then tell me how we can have a clean break!" Xiang Mingyue looked at Yao Mingqi.

Yao Mingqi was somewhat surprised that Xiang Mingyue could remain calm at this moment...

Xiang Mingyue is acting very strangely. The original Xiang Mingyue would have been furious and started making a scene after hearing what I said.

If she starts making a fuss, I have plenty of ways to handle it...

But now...

Xiang Mingyue is too calm!

Yao Mingqi subconsciously glanced at Yao Shushu, who was sitting next to Xiang Mingyue. Yao Shushu was looking at him with disdain...

Yao Mingqi's heart suddenly started pounding.

Both mother and daughter seemed off; they were both unusually calm.

However, upon seeing Yao Shushu, Yao Mingqi immediately knew what he had to do! His daughter was a valuable asset! It would be a shame not to take advantage of her!

"Mingyue, let's have a serious talk! Shushu is my child, and I can't give her to you!"

"Apart from Shushu, you can name any other conditions you want!" Yao Mingqi pleaded.

Yao Shushu snorted. Just as she thought, she was using herself as a bargaining chip with her mother, knowing her mother couldn't bear to part with her…

"Really? That's wonderful! I want everything except Shushu!" Xiang Mingyue smiled as well.

Yao Mingqi, who was waiting to vent his anger on Mingyue, was suddenly dumbfounded...
