"Don't keep calling him 'your little uncle,' or people who don't know him will think he's your father."

Lin Qingtong sneered silently: "Even if the Shen family invests, it doesn't change the fact that you're a good-for-nothing. I've been managing the company all these years. If you really think you can run the business just because someone throws money at you, then do whatever you want. I'm definitely getting a divorce."

She knew Jiang Hao's worth all too well; he was a good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid. If it weren't for his good parents and uncle, he would be nothing.

In terms of ability, he can't even compare to Shen Tinghe's toes.

No, why would she suddenly think about the gigolo she was keeping?

Jiang Hao was completely furious when he heard this.

"Lin Qingtong! Shut up!"

He glared at her through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with malice: "You think I cherish you as my wife! If it weren't for the fear of a divorce causing a bad impression, I wouldn't have kept you around!"

"Think this through. If you divorce me, no other good man will want you! With your terrible temper, you'll just have to wait to die alone!"

Lin Qingtong scoffed, "Oh dear, I'm terrified."

She wasn't going to show him any mercy: "Since you've agreed to the divorce, let's go through the formalities tomorrow. I feel disgusted just seeing you."

The atmosphere between the two was tense, but Xu Huimin, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

She thought Lin Qingtong, the "official wife," would throw a tantrum, but she didn't expect her to propose a divorce so decisively!

Wouldn't that give her a chance to rise to power while still having a child...?

A glint flashed in Xu Huimin's eyes, but on the surface she pretended to be understanding: "Ms. Lin, please don't argue with President Jiang because of me. You've really misunderstood me. I didn't mean to break up your family."

After saying that, she bit her lip and said to Jiang Hao, who was trembling with anger, "Mr. Jiang, why don't you comfort Miss Lin first? I have nothing to do with the child."

Her attitude stands in stark contrast to the aggressive Lin Qingtong.

Jiang Hao found Lin Qingtong even more of an eyesore.

After a long pause, he bit his cheek and said coldly, "Fine! You want a divorce? I'll grant your wish! But you have to wait until I get my uncle's investment. I don't want the divorce to be revealed at this critical juncture and affect the company's stability!"

Lin Qingtong smiled enigmatically: "What benefit would I gain from getting the investment? Why should I listen to you?"

Jiang Hao's face darkened further, and after a long while, he said resentfully, "We were husband and wife after all, so I'll be lenient with you when it comes to dividing the property! As long as it's not excessive, you can ask for anything!"

Lin Qingtong raised an eyebrow, considered for a moment, and agreed: "Okay, don't renege on your promise."

She will indeed need money later on. Her mother died early, and her father became her stepfather after marrying a stepmother, treating her only as a tool for political alliance.

It's impossible for me to go back to the Lin family after the divorce, so I need to make as much money as possible so I can live a carefree life in the future.

She didn't mind waiting a few days.

Seeing that she had given in, Jiang Hao snorted coldly: "Gold digger, I feel disgusted just looking at you."

Lin Qingtong sneered, "Shut up! You scumbag."

She's already decided to divorce him; she won't spoil him.

Jiang Hao was furious again.

But now he really had no desire to argue with Lin Qingtong, nor did he want to be laughed at here, so he walked toward the exit with a gloomy face.

Lin Qingtong followed without expression.

When they arrived at the door, Xu Huimin, who was heavily pregnant, wanted to get into the car, but Lin Qingtong stopped her.

She didn't even look at Xu Huimin, but instead said to Jiang Hao with a half-smile, "If you don't want rumors of your extramarital affair and having an illegitimate child to embarrass yourself, then get this person away from me and don't let him affect my mood."

Jiang Hao clenched his fists, his expression unfriendly.

But in the end, he reluctantly gave in: "Minmin, you go to the hotel, I'll come find you when I'm done with my work."

Hsu Hui-min's previously smug expression instantly crumbled.

But she didn't dare to make a scene in front of Jiang Hao, so she could only force a laugh and say okay before slinking away.

Lin Qingtong then got into the car with a cold expression.

The two remained silent the entire way.

When the car arrived at the Jiang family villa, Jiang Hao got out first, turned around and slammed the car door shut, almost hitting Lin Qingtong's hand.

Lin Qingtong couldn't help but sneer.

This idiot is so spoiled.

She ignored him and went inside on her own.

When I entered the living room, Madam Jiang was scolding Jiang Hao, who had a cold expression on his face.

"You bastard! Are you trying to drive me crazy? You've been away from home for three years, indulging in debauchery, and you even dared to have an illegitimate child! You've gone too far! You little brat, put your hands on your conscience, how can you do this to Qing Tong?!"

Her tone sounded stern, but what she said didn't mean that: "Once that woman gives birth, you should send her away, bring the child back to Qing Tong to raise, and at most allow her to come and see him from time to time!"

After saying that, she looked at Lin Qingtong and smiled, "Qingtong, don't be angry about this. Mom has already scolded him for you."

“That woman can’t shake your position, but the child is still our family’s flesh and blood. Be more magnanimous, after all, this is for our family to continue its lineage.”

Lin Qingtong listened, a somewhat mocking smile appearing on her lips.

At first glance, it sounds like they're standing up for her, but in reality, it's just a way to give her a stern warning and then offer her a sweet treat, hoping to stop her from making a scene over this.

Lin Qingtong asked herself honestly if she had ever done anything to wrong her mother-in-law. In the years that Jiang Hao had been away, she had managed the company perfectly and never made a mistake in handling household chores or social engagements.

Mrs. Jiang had always had heart problems. In the second year of her marriage to Jiang Hao, the old lady almost lost her life due to heart disease.

Jiang Hao knew this at the time, but he chose to be intimate with his mistress abroad. In addition to her work, she had to accompany her every day and tried her best to find a famous doctor to perform surgery on Mrs. Jiang so that she could get out of danger.

She thought that if Madam Jiang knew about this, she would at least put herself in her shoes and think about things from her perspective. She never expected that Madam Jiang's acting was so fake.

What an ingrate!

"Mother, I remember you told me before that Father had several female confidantes outside?"

Lin Qingtong smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Since you're so generous, why don't I help you bring your child back to be recognized by the family? After all, they are Jiang family members, and it's not good for them to be left out in the world."

She seemed thoughtful: "The company is currently short-staffed, so having someone from our own team manage it wouldn't be a bad idea. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang was first taken aback, then retorted sharply, "What did you say?! How could you bring back such a filthy illegitimate child?!"

"Those bastards, just seeing them in front of me makes me sick! And you actually want them to work for the company! Are you crazy?!"

Lin Qingtong laughed even more mockingly: "What a coincidence, I also think illegitimate children are disgusting."

She said meaningfully, "You're really something. You can't even be magnanimous yourself, so why should I accept it? Do I look like some kind of saintly person?"
