Old Master Shen was trembling with rage, pointing at Lu Jin and cursing, "Is this how your Lu family treats people? You're worse than animals!"
Lu Jin turned pale after being rebuked, but still tried to argue: "That's because you were disobedient! You were just being unreasonable!"
"I'm ignorant?" Shen Qingtang sneered. "All I know is that from today onwards, I, Shen Qingtang, have absolutely no connection with the Lu family. If you want to find a wife, go find someone else. Don't bother me."
Pei Wuwang spoke up at the opportune moment, his eyes so cold they could freeze: "Lu Jin, Miss Shen has already divorced you. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being impolite."
As he spoke, he subtly moved closer to Shen Qingtang, shielding her behind him, his posture clearly defined.
Lu Jin watched the interaction between the two, and then looked at the angry eyes of the Shen family members, and trembled with rage.
He dared not utter another word. He knew that no one would stand by him now, and if he continued to cause trouble, he would only bring shame upon himself.
The more Old Master Shen thought about it, the more heartbroken he became. Pointing at Lu Jin's nose, he said urgently to Shen Qingtang, "Qingtang! What's the point of keeping a man like this? Write a letter of divorce! Divorce him right now! Our Shen family's daughters don't deserve to suffer like this!"
Mr. and Mrs. Shen nodded, their eyes red.
Mother Chen choked up as she said, "Qingtang, I used to always tell you to be patient, but now I know that you've suffered so much injustice in the Lu family. You were afraid of hurting him, so you didn't even dare to pass by our house, but he didn't care about you at all!"
Even though "divorcing" might seem shocking to outsiders, they would never let their daughter suffer any more injustice.
Shen Qingtang was stunned.
I never expected my usually steady grandfather to be so decisive.
Without hesitation, she immediately took out paper and pen from her spatial storage, and with a few quick strokes of the pen, she wrote a letter of divorce. She then threw it in front of Lu Jin: "Lu Jin, from this day forward, I, Shen Qingtang, divorce you. From now on, we will be separate individuals, with no further connection whatsoever."
"Divorce?! Divorce?!" Lu Jin picked up the divorce papers, his hands trembling. He couldn't believe his eyes; he had only ever seen men divorce their wives.
What kind of woman divorces her husband? His face turned deathly pale instantly, and he could barely stand.
Old Master Shen snorted smugly: "My granddaughter of the Shen family has the confidence to divorce her husband! You, Lu Jin, are not worthy!"
Seeing this, Lu Jiaojiao stood to the side.
She immediately rushed to Shen's mother, hugged her legs, and cried, "Grandma! Please persuade Mother! She can't divorce Father! If she divorces Father, I won't have a complete family! I am her own daughter!" She tried to use familial affection to manipulate Shen's mother and soften her heart.
As expected, Madam Shen hesitated. Looking at Lu Jiaojiao's tear-reddened face, a pang of pity rose in her heart. She wavered instantly.
Holding Shen Qingtang's hand, he advised, "Qingtang, Jiaojiao is still your biological daughter. Even if you and Jin'er have conflicts, don't let the child lose her home..."
Seeing the wavering in her mother's eyes, Shen Qingtang gently shook her head.
Her voice was calm yet carried an undeniable firmness: "Mother, she is not my daughter. My child was lost at birth."
These words struck like a thunderbolt, leaving everyone present stunned.
Lu Jin collapsed to the ground with a thud.
His face was ashen, and he was trembling all over.
How could Shen Qingtang know?
Lin Peirou was also so frightened that her face turned pale, and she subconsciously shrank back.
Mother Shen was also stunned, looking at Shen Qingtang in disbelief: "Qingtang, what... what did you say? Your child..."
A flicker of pain crossed Shen Qingtang's eyes, but she still said, word by word, "The child was killed by them."
Her cold gaze swept over Lu Jin and Lin Peirou.
