Chapter 111 Closing the Net with Divorce
Shan Mingyuan wanted to say something more, but Shan Rou coldly said, "Don't talk to me, I feel disgusted! Sign the divorce papers right now, and I'll take you to the ancestral hall immediately after you sign them."
Upon hearing this, Shanxiong leaned forward and said with a mix of excitement and lewdness, "What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and sign it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, it'll be gone."
Shan Mingyuan glared at him fiercely. If it weren't for Shan Xiong, he wouldn't have revealed all these secrets, let alone let Shan Rou know the truth.
"Shut up!" Shan Mingyuan glared at Shanxiong angrily, then looked at Shan Rou, his tone softening instantly: "Rou'er, think about it again? Give us another chance, okay?"
Shanrou didn't want to look at him at all, and said with a look of disgust, "Are you going to write it or not? If you're not going to write it, then don't go!"
Upon hearing this, Shanxiong immediately encouraged him, "Write it quickly! This is your only chance."
At this moment, Shan Mingyuan really wished he could kill Shan Xiong in front of Shan Rou!
He had never seen such an annoying person!
However, now, in order to learn the secret of the ancestral hall and report back to that person, he had no choice but to sign.
Shan Mingyuan reluctantly wrote a letter of divorce.
Shan Rou's expression was cold. She reached out and took the divorce papers. After carefully confirming that everything was correct, she looked up at Shan Mingyuan and said indifferently, "Come with me."
Upon hearing this, Shanxiong's eyes lit up, and he quickly followed.
Throughout the journey, Shanrou walked ahead with a blank expression.
Behind him, Shan Mingyuan followed closely, never leaving his side. Every time he tried to say something, Shan Rou would turn her head away, her eyes cold, giving him no chance to explain.
What's worse, Shanxiong was following closely behind, looking like he was about to peek over his shoulder, so Shanxiong couldn't say anything sweet or intimate.
The villa was not far from the main courtyard. It was specially prepared for Shan Rou by the old master Shan because of Shan Mingyuan and Shan Rou's wedding. In less than half an incense stick's time, the three of them arrived at the Shan residence.
When the servant at the door saw the group, he instinctively tried to drive them away, but Shan Rou pulled out the divorce papers and said to the servant, "Go tell my father that Shan Mingyuan and I have divorced."
Divorce?
Upon hearing this, the servants were terrified and immediately went to inform the old master.
Old Master Shan was reporting to Shanxi when he heard about this. He immediately stood up, his face full of astonishment: "What did you say? She and Shan Mingyuan got divorced?"
What kind of show is this?
How could Shan Rou, that simpleton, possibly get divorced from Shan Mingyuan?
“Let’s go take a look.” Shanxi stood up, her expression calm, and led the way towards the door.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Shan Rou, Shan Mingyuan, and Shanxiong standing there, huddled together, seemingly whispering to each other.
Shan Mingyuan lowered his head, like a defeated rooster, seemingly apologizing to Shan Rou and admitting his mistakes.
Shan Rou turned her face away, her eyes cold and distant, as if she had no intention of paying any attention to Shan Mingyuan.
This looks like a young couple having a fight and having a disagreement.
"What nonsense are you spouting now?" Old Master Shan shouted angrily, his voice booming like a bell at the door.
Shanrou was already filled with grievances, and when Old Master Shan shouted angrily, tears welled up in her eyes like a burst dam. She cried out in a sob, "Father!"
That cry of "Father," filled with grievance, broke Old Master Shan's heart, as if he had been struck hard by a heavy hammer.
With Shanxi still standing nearby, Old Master Shan could only feign composure, straighten his posture, and frown as he asked, "What's wrong now? Why are you making such a fuss about divorce?"
Could it be that Shan Mingyuan can't afford to pay and wants Shan Rou to pay instead?
However, Shan Mingyuan had already firmly grasped Shan Rou's meager assets.
If Shan Mingyuan wanted to use it, he wouldn't need to discuss it with Shan Rou at all; he could make the decision himself.
So what is the reason for this young couple's divorce?
"Father, I regret it." Shan Rou's voice choked with sobs. Just these words made Old Master Shan's heart clench, as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
When they got married, Shanrou spoke with such determination, vowing that she would marry Shanmingyuan and never regret it.
For Shan Rou to utter the word "regret" now, it must be because Shan Mingyuan did something that would incur divine and human wrath, causing Shan Rou such profound pain and sudden realization.
As Shanrou's gaze fell on Shanxi, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she were being pricked by a thousand needles at the same time, so painful that she could hardly breathe.
Did Shanmingyuan actually want to kill Shanxi?
Why has Xi'er never told me about something so important?
"Xi'er, you've suffered so much." Shanrou walked towards Shanxi with tears in her eyes. Just as she was about to reach out and touch her face, Shanxi dodged to the side.
Sun-hee looked at her coldly and expressionlessly, her eyes even carrying a chilling glint.
That look in her eyes didn't resemble the tenderness and dependence a daughter should have when looking at her mother; it was more like someone in a high position looking down at someone in a lower position, full of oppression, which made Shanrou shiver.
Knowing she was in the wrong and felt sorry for Shanxi, Shanrou ignored her coldness and looked at Old Master Shan, saying in a pleading tone, "Father, Shan Mingyuan and I have divorced. His request is to visit our Shan family ancestral hall. Could you please make an exception and let him in?"
"Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Shan family ancestral hall. You know this rule." Old Master Shan's face was solemn, and his tone was firm.
Shanrou pursed her lips, about to say something more, when she heard Shanxi say in a cool voice, "Okay!"
Old Master Shan: "???"
Is Grandma being so easy to talk to today?
Shanxi knew everything about Shanmingyuan's affairs.
It's time to close the net.
Shanxi strode ahead to lead the way. Upon seeing this, Shanmingyuan was overjoyed and quickly followed.
Shanxiong wanted to join in the fun, but was stopped by Old Master Shan: "What are you doing here, an outsider? Get out!"
Shanxiong trembled at the old master's angry shout, and took two steps back involuntarily. His face was full of a fawning smile, but he dared not move forward any further.
Shanxi led Shan Mingyuan toward the Shan family ancestral hall. Along the way, Shan Mingyuan appeared calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
He rubbed his hands excitedly, thrilled that he could finally unveil the mystery.
Finally, we arrived at the solemn and majestic gate of the Shan Family Ancestral Hall.
The ancestral hall's main gate is simple and imposing, adorned with exquisite carvings, exuding a mysterious and majestic aura.
Shanxi stopped and gently wiped the door, as if some kind of restriction had been placed on it, and suddenly it disappeared.
