Chapter 139 Are they afraid to admit their mistakes?
Yan Sui found this amusing. "If you don't feel ashamed, why should I?"
Yan Yu's gaze suddenly turned sinister. "If you hadn't stirred things up, my mother would never have known about my father's affair, and even if she did, she wouldn't have gotten a divorce!"
Yan Sui crossed her arms and looked down at him.
"The truth will always come out eventually. How can you be so sure that your mother will never find out the truth?"
Yan Yu's eyes flashed with disdain. "So what if she knows? My mother is a rural woman who can't do anything. Can she survive without my father?"
Yan Sui remained silent, her gaze fixed on what was behind him.
Yan Yu seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around.
He was met with a heavy slap.
Yan Yu's words were like a knife to the heart; even though she was prepared, Peng Xiufang still felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"This is the son I raised myself. Well done, you're really something!"
Yan Yu's head was turned to the side by her slap, and the last vestiges of his guilt were completely shattered by that one slap.
He rubbed his cheek hard. "Mom, you're not calm right now. Once you calm down, you'll understand that my brother and I are doing this for your own good!"
Peng Xiufang sneered, "I'm perfectly calm right now!"
After so many days, how could I not be calm?
"If you came here specifically to persuade me on behalf of your father, there's no need. This divorce is final! I'm willing to risk my reputation, but can the Feng family behind him do the same?"
Yan Yu wiped his face and said impatiently, "What good will this do you!"
“I can get the house and the money, and I can also dump a disgusting man. How can there be no benefits?” Peng Xiufang retorted.
"What about me and my brother? Don't you think about us at all?"
Peng Xiufang said sternly, "When you kept this from me, you didn't even think about your own mother!"
Yan Yu now understands how helpless Yan Zhendong is; Peng Xiufang is truly impervious to reason.
He reached out and tugged at her arm. "Let's talk when we get home."
Peng Xiufang quickly dodged, her tone cold and sharp: "The whole Changqing Village knows about the shameful things your father did, there's nothing to hide."
Yan Yu's face was gloomy. "With your actions, not only has my father been implicated, but you've also ruined my and my brother's futures. I will hate you for the rest of my life!"
“Hate me all you want! I gave birth to you and raised you, spending most of my life on this. Now that I’m old, I just want to live for myself. Even if you don’t acknowledge me, even if I die alone, I’m determined to get a divorce!” Peng Xiufang was more resolute than ever before.
Yan Yu gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Fine, you'll regret it!"
Peng Xiufang thought that with Yan Sui protecting her, she felt fearless.
He wanted to see if Yan Sui could protect her for the rest of her life.
With Yan Yu's departure, the last vestige of their mother-son bond was severed.
The next day, Yan Zhendong returned to Changqing Village and held a final negotiation with Peng Xiufang.
He did not come alone; besides Feng Mei, there was an older, serious-looking man by his side.
Yan Sui guessed that he must be Feng Mei's father, namely Feng Liqun, the founder of Lewan.
She chuckled and put one hand on Peng Xiufang's shoulder.
“Uncle Zhendong, it’s just a divorce, why are you bringing in helpers?”
Yan Zhendong snorted loudly, "Divorce is no small matter. With you here giving Peng Xiufang bad advice, I dare not be careless."
He was afraid of Yan Sui's personality after just one encounter.
After he had talked to Feng Mei, he confronted Feng Liqun about the matter.
Feng Mei was completely devoted to him and insisted on following him. With his granddaughter pleading on his behalf, he had no choice but to reluctantly clean up Yan Zhendong's mess.
I brought a lawyer with me this time so that I could resolve the divorce issue once and for all.
Peng Xiufang was initially hesitant, but with Yan Sui standing beside her, she suddenly felt fearless.
"Since we're going to talk, let's all go inside and get everything cleared up at once."
She turned around and went inside first.
Feng Mei was slightly disgusted by the crudely built house in the countryside, thinking to herself how fortunate Yan Zhendong had never asked her to go back to her hometown.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Chunrong greeted him with a smile.
She grasped Feng Mei's hand in a very familiar manner, "Oh my daughter-in-law, Mom has been thinking about you for so long! You've been with Zhendong for so long, how come you never go home to visit? You've never even met your own parents-in-law. It's so embarrassing to say that out loud."
Feng Mei was suddenly grabbed by her hand, and looked at a loss.
When he caught sight of the dirt between her fingers, his scalp tingled, and he flung her hand away.
Realizing what she had done, Feng Mei blushed with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, I..."
Yan Zhendong took her hand, not blaming her, but instead looking at Zhao Chunrong with displeasure.
"Mom, Feng Mei doesn't like interacting with strangers. You're being too reckless."
Zhao Chunrong retorted with a dark face: "How am I a stranger? I'm your own mother and her own mother-in-law! You two have been married for so many years, and I've never met her even once. I've never seen a daughter-in-law like this before!"
Feng Mei was used to being free and easy, and she was really not used to having to deal with Yan Zhendong's family.
Moreover, she was Zhao Chunrong, a country bumpkin.
Yan Zhendong was too lazy to argue with her, and only said, "I'm not here to meet relatives today. Let me settle the divorce first."
After everyone was seated, Feng Liqun had his lawyer hand the drafted divorce agreement to Peng Xiufang.
Peng Xiufang didn't answer; even if she did, she wouldn't understand it.
Yan Sui smiled and accepted it. "You don't mind if I take a look on behalf of your aunt, do you? Your arrival was so sudden that my lawyer didn't have time to be here. We won't sign anything until he arrives."
Feng Liqun narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yan Sui.
Before coming to Changqing Village, he had someone investigate Yan Sui.
His ability to drive the development of his hometown single-handedly is not to be underestimated.
He had no intention of making enemies with Yan Sui.
“You’re so young, why meddle in other people’s business? Strictly speaking, Zhendong is your relative. Once you’re divorced, Ms. Peng Xiufang will be an outsider to you.”
Zhao Chunrong quickly chimed in, "That's right, Yan Sui, why are you meddling in other people's business? You're siding with outsiders!"
Yan Sui ignored them and continued to look through the agreement.
Yan Zhendong agreed to all the conditions proposed by Peng Xiufang.
Similarly, they also have conditions.
Peng Xiufang must maintain a consistent statement to the public, asserting that she and Yan Zhendong never registered their marriage and refraining from spreading rumors that Feng Mei was a "third party."
“Lord Zhendong, don’t push your luck. This is going too far.”
Yan Zhendong said in a deep voice, "This 300,000 yuan is not so easy to get."
Yan Sui laughed, "The 300,000 is compensation for your years of cheating on your aunt, not hush money. You're dreaming."
She casually tossed the agreement aside.
"It seems there's no need to continue the discussion."
Feng Liqun frowned. "This agreement may seem unfair, but it doesn't actually harm Ms. Peng Xiufang's interests. Since she's made up her mind to divorce, she and Yan Zhendong are strangers now, so why bother with this?"
Yan Sui raised an eyebrow. "Yes, since we're strangers, why should Uncle Zhendong and Aunt Feng care? One dared to cheat, and the other dared to interfere. Are they afraid to admit their mistakes?"
