Chapter 72 Divorced

As soon as Zhou Kanghui hung up the phone, he met his mother's cold eyes.

Zhou Kanghui was a little confused: "Mom, what did I do to upset you?"

Yu Minhua stared at him: "You just said that Sun Yurong cursed the Ming Dynasty and even made a dummy of the Ming Dynasty? Is that true?"

"The message was sent to me by Mingshi; I don't know who sent it to him," Zhou Kanghui said hastily upon seeing his mother's anger. "That's why I divorced her. She's been lying to me all these years. She's not virtuous or kind at all; she's a liar who deceived my feelings..."

"stop!"

Yu Minhua interrupted him: "I don't want to hear you say that right now."

After saying that, he called over Butler Liu: "Old Liu, go over there and call Sun Yurong here."

Zhou Kanghui had no choice but to shut up.

Sun Yurong came over quickly and whispered, "Mom, is there something you wanted to see me about?"

Yu Minhua looked at her: "You cursed Ming Shi and even made a voodoo doll out of him?"

Sun Yurong glanced at Zhou Kanghui and quickly said, "Mom, absolutely not, how could I do such a thing?"

Yu Minhua slammed her teacup down on the tea table, staring at her intently: "Everything leaves a trace. You'd better tell the truth. If I find out, it won't be so easy to get away with it..."

Sun Yurong clenched her hands, forcing a smile: "Mom, really, no. What era are we living in? Who would believe that now? If I really wanted to harm him, I wouldn't do this, wouldn't you say?"

Yu Minhua didn't look at her again and instructed Butler Liu, "Take a few people to check next door."

Sun Yurong's heart tightened, and her palms began to sweat: "Mom, you can't..."

Yu Minhua looked at her expressionlessly: "That house is mine, my son lives in it. There's no question of whether I can or can't do it, it's just a matter of whether I want to or not."

Sun Yurong could see her mother-in-law's determination. She gritted her teeth and said, "I... I did get it done, but that's because..."

Yu Minhua interrupted her indifferently: "No matter what the reason, you cannot have any intention of harming my grandson."

Sun Yurong: "I was just angry, I didn't mean to..."

Yu Minhua interrupted her again: "The Zhou family can't keep you. You two should get a divorce tomorrow."

Sun Yurong's face flushed red: "Mom, you can't..."

Yu Minhua looked at her: "There's no question of 'can't' or 'can't. The fact that you admitted to using voodoo dolls so quickly suggests there's an even bigger secret hidden in your house. A quick divorce would be better for you, your two children, and your family. Otherwise..."

Sun Yurong's fingers were almost raw from gripping the fabric. She took a deep breath and said, "I agree to a divorce, but I can't just get a divorce like this. Give me 500 million yuan, give me 500 million yuan, and I'll agree to a divorce..."

Yu Minhua: "You can take your jewelry and the money in your card, but don't even think about taking the money."

Sun Yurong: "Impossible. I've given birth to two children for your family all these years. You can't give me nothing."

Being a wealthy wife isn't easy, especially since Zhou Kanghui doesn't manage the household finances. To maintain appearances, she spends most of her money on jewelry and clothes to support her family, leaving her with little to no savings.

Yu Minhua smiled and looked at her: "You can take the children with you, and you can even let them take your surname. The Zhou family has no shortage of children."

Sun Yurong: "You..."

That old woman is really despicable. She clearly has plenty of money. She could easily give Lin Yi'an a piece of jewelry worth tens of millions. Why won't she grant her wish?

"I just don't know if they're willing to go with you, or if they're willing to take your surname." Yu Minhua finished speaking and looked at her: "Don't be too greedy, or you'll end up losing everything."

After saying this, Yu Minhua closed her eyes and stopped looking at her.

Sun Yurong looked at Zhou Kanghui: "Zhou Kanghui, I've followed you for so many years, how can you be so heartless?"

Zhou Kanghui: "I've been good to you. If you had married your ex-boyfriend, you wouldn't be living such a good life. Your older brother even bought a house. Don't tell me you didn't give them the money to buy the house? What more do you want?"

Sun Yurong's eyes reddened with anger. This is what men are like!

She said, "Okay, what about Mingyuan and Jiajia? What will happen to them after we get divorced?"

Zhou Kanghui: "They've grown up. Mingyuan is married now. They can stay in the house next door forever. I'll prepare betrothal gifts and dowries for them when they get married."

Sun Yurong: "I can agree to a divorce, but you have to promise me that you will give your shares to Jiajia and Mingyuan, otherwise this divorce will not happen."

Zhou Kanghui laughed angrily: "I knew you were after my shares. I'm telling you, it's impossible. I've already transferred the shares to Mingshi. Forget about it, it's no use thinking about it."

Sun Yurong could no longer hold back, her eyes reddening: "When did you transfer the shares to Zhou Mingshi?"

Zhou Kanghui told a lie: "Before they got married."

Sun Yurong bared her teeth and brandished her claws as she stepped forward: "Zhou Kanghui, I'll fight you to the death!"

The maid next to her quickly stepped forward and pulled her away.

Zhou Kanghui: "You're terrifying, absolutely terrifying."

Yu Minhua stood up: "Tomorrow I will have someone take you to complete the divorce procedures. You'd better not cause any trouble. If you don't care about your children, you should at least care about your family."

Sun Yurong sneered, gave them a mocking look, and walked away dejectedly.

There was no cooling-off period for divorce at that time, and the next day, Yu Minhua had someone take them to complete the divorce procedures.

Zhou Kanghui was frightened by Sun Yurong. After completing the formalities and returning home, he had his luggage packed and insisted that his family driver take him to his son's place.

Yu Minhua frowned: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Kanghui: "I'm divorced now. I'm going to stay with Mingshi and An'an in the countryside for a while to clear my head."

Most importantly, he didn't want to see Sun Yurong and the two children, Mingyuan and Jiajia, during this period. He could be ruthless towards Sun Yurong, but he was afraid he would be soft-hearted towards the two children. If their mother raised any objections or the children came to plead for them, would he agree or not?

He didn't want to make things difficult for himself, so he decided to go and seek refuge with Ming Shi and An An.

Yu Minhua: "Ask Mingshi and An'an, did they just leave like that? They didn't even bring any gifts for An'an's parents and grandmother?"

Zhou Kanghui quickly said, "Then I'll call An'an."

He's learned his lesson now; he doesn't hit his son anymore, he hits his daughter-in-law instead.

Lin Yi'an was somewhat surprised to receive a call from her father-in-law: "Dad, is something the matter?"

Zhou Kanghui: "An'an, Sun Yurong and I are divorced. I want to go to Changping to clear my head. Is that okay?"

Before Lin Yi'an could speak, he added, "I've also prepared gifts for you, gifts for your parents, and gifts for Aunt Lin... Don't worry, I definitely won't cause any trouble or upset you when I go. I've also promised to give you the shares..."

He sounded pitiful, so Lin Yi'an said, "Then send me a message before you leave, and I'll have someone prepare a room for you."

Zhou Kanghui was immediately delighted: "An'an is so good to Dad, unlike Mingshi..."

Lin Yi'an reminded him, "Dad, Mingshi is listening in."

Zhou Kanghui immediately changed his tune: "Unlike Mingshi, who can be fierce at times, I know it's because he cares about me."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi'an couldn't help but chuckle. Zhou Mingshi frowned at her and asked, "Is Dad coming?"

Lin Yi-an: "He and Sun Yu-rong got divorced, and he said he wanted to come over to clear his head."

Zhou Mingshi was surprised: "He's quick."

Lin Yi'an didn't expect him to act so quickly.
