In this day and age, divorce is still a very niche thing, especially in a small county like Yunxian, where divorce is even something that is looked down upon.
Especially for women, if a woman gets divorced, people from all around will gossip about her, and she'll be criticized and gossiped about when she goes back to her parents' home.
Moreover, with the Lunar New Year just around the corner, no one would do something as unlucky as getting a divorce at this time.
Therefore, there was no one at the divorce window of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
After Zhu Dong explained the situation to the leaders at the Civil Affairs Bureau, he and Jiang Yongxian received their divorce certificates directly without having to wait in line.
After they left with their divorce certificates, the staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau behind them asked curiously, "What's going on? Why are two men getting a divorce?"
The staff member handling the case lowered their voice and said, "What? Two men getting a divorce? This is on behalf of the client."
The divorced man is currently in the hospital, while the woman is in detention.
By the way, both of them are local celebrities. The man is Huo Beixiao, the cement factory owner, you know? The woman is Jiang Yiran, the daughter of the former food factory director who was executed. You know, that woman, right?
"But I just don't know how she ended up as a resident of Hong Kong..."
"I've heard of it, I've heard of it..." The staff member who came over for gossip instantly lit up with excitement.
"Didn't Director Huo just divorce his ex-wife, Yang Qiaoqiao, a well-known female entrepreneur in our area, a few days ago?"
You didn't know that you took the day off, but Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao had just gotten divorced at the divorce window.
Jiang Yiran arrived shortly after and got married to Huo Beixiao at the marriage window.
We all said back then that Huo Beixiao must have hooked up with Jiang Yiran first, and Yang Qiaoqiao found out, which led to the divorce.
Yang Qiaoqiao has a surprisingly good temper. Jiang Yiran had caused her a lot of trouble before, and now she's even stolen her man, but she didn't sue them for infidelity; she just got a divorce.
"However, I heard that when they divorced, Huo Beixiao gave all his assets to Yang Qiaoqiao. Perhaps it was because of those assets that Yang Qiaoqiao endured it and didn't sue them."
The staff member who just processed Huo Beixiao and Jiang Yiran's divorce had no idea there was such a fascinating story. Their eyes lit up even more. "Is that so? Then why is Huo Beixiao getting a divorce just a few days after getting married to Jiang Yiran?"
One was in the hospital, the other in a detention center, and their representative came to collect the divorce certificate.
The gossip-loving eyes of the onlookers gleamed, "I think it's very likely that Jiang Yiran didn't know that Huo Beixiao had given all his assets to Yang Qiaoqiao before they registered their marriage."
If they find out after getting the marriage certificate, won't they make a scene?
When these two, who married later in life, start arguing, you know what happens...
"Tsk tsk, Jiang Yiran is ruthless enough to have Huo Beixiao hospitalized. I heard from my friend who works as a nurse at the hospital that Huo Beixiao's condition is quite serious, and he might not even wake up."
"Of course. When she married Qin Haiyang, he was arrested for a crime, and she immediately divorced him, wasn't she?"
"Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. How many of us women can be as heartless and ruthless as her, disregarding all dignity?"
"Tsk tsk." The onlookers clicked their tongues twice in admiration. "No wonder he's destined for great things. Just look at his ruthlessness. He deserves to be a Hong Konger."
...
While the staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau were eating melons, Zhu Dong left the bureau and got into his car to leave.
Jiang Yongxian also consciously opened the back seat, wanting to get in the car with Zhu Dong.
Zhu Dong, who had already put one foot in the driver's seat, quickly got out of the car, snatched the car door from Jiang Yongxian's hand, and slammed it shut.
Jiang Yongxian frowned and looked at Zhu Dong with displeasure. He didn't even address him as Mr. Zhu anymore and said directly, "Zhu Dong, what are you doing? I still need to go with you to count the assets and divide the property."
"Is your uncooperative attitude an attempt to seize Huo Beixiao's assets?"
"whispering sound--"
Seeing Jiang Yongxian's righteous and indignant demeanor, Zhu Dong couldn't help but scoff, "Jiang Yongxian, what are you dreaming about?"
After taking stock of the assets and dividing them, does Huo Beixiao still have any assets?
Let me tell you, Huo Beixiao doesn't own a single penny now. All his assets were given to his sister-in-law when they divorced.
Ignoring Jiang Yongxian's shocked and angry expression, Zhu Dong suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait a minute, Jiang Yiran and Huo Beixiao really do have something to share."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yongxian breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Then hurry up and distribute them."
First, get what you can get directly; then figure out how to get the rest.
Zhu Dong opened the car door, took out a thick stack of receipts, and said to Jiang Yongxian, "I paid for Huo Beixiao's treatment at the hospital these past few days. These are the receipts."
These are all debts incurred during his marriage with Jiang Yiran, and according to the divorce agreement, Jiang Yiran is entitled to a share of these debts.
"Since you're your sister's agent, then give me the portion of the money your sister is supposed to pay!" Zhu Dong demanded money directly from Jiang Yongxian.
Jiang Yongxian's face turned ashen with anger. He pointed at Zhu Dong and cursed, "You, surnamed Zhu, don't push your luck!"
Who exactly is Yang Qiaoqiao to you? Why are you helping her like this?
After asking the question, his gaze towards Zhu Dong suddenly turned filthy and wicked. "Could it be that she's already slept with you? So you and she conspired to ruin Huo Beixiao's life and send my sister to prison in order to seize Huo Beixiao's property..."
The more Jiang Yongxian talked, the more he realized that what he said made sense.
Zhu Dong, a man involved in the underworld, doesn't care about his reputation.
But when he heard Jiang Yongxian slander Yang Qiaoqiao like that, his anger instantly surged to the top of his head.
He is now particularly protective of Yang Qiaoqiao, not for any other reason than that when Huo Beixiao was imprisoned, Yang Qiaoqiao did everything she could to rescue him, but he misunderstood her.
Some of the negative things said about Yang Qiaoqiao even originated from him.
He always felt guilty towards Yang Qiaoqiao.
He wanted to take advantage of the matter entrusted to him by Boss Huo to help Yang Qiaoqiao as much as possible, which could be considered as making amends for what happened back then.
Zhu Dong clenched his fist, ready to smash it into Jiang Yongxian's face.
But before he could make a move, a fist suddenly flew from the side and smashed into Jiang Yongxian's face.
Before Jiang Yongxian could even react, he was knocked back two steps by the enormous force and almost fell to the ground.
