Du Zhiming spent the entire night thinking of a solution, and this was the only way to resolve all the troubles and get on Su Yan's good side. Therefore, he was determined not to get a divorce.
As for his claim that he had figured things out and agreed to get married, those were just lies he told to deceive Su Yan and the others.
Su Yan looked at him and sneered, "You two were talking so well on the phone, and now you're playing these face-changing tricks on me? Do you think I have a lot of time to play games with you?"
Du Zhiming didn't know why she was so angry today, like a firecracker that would explode at the slightest touch.
He hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Sister, we can talk this over!"
"It's Su Xuan who wants a divorce. You shouldn't be begging me."
At Su Yan's words, Du Zhiming turned to coax Su Xuan again: "Wife, I really know I was wrong, I will never do it again. Let's not get a divorce, okay?"
Fearing that Su Xuan might soften her heart, Ye Mei immediately stepped forward and pulled her back. However, Su Xuan's determination regarding the divorce clearly exceeded Ye Mei's expectations.
"Let's not waste Mom and Dad's and sister's time here. Let's fill out the divorce agreement quickly and go get the divorce certificate right away."
"You don't regret it?" Du Zhiming asked, looking at her.
Without hesitation, Su Xuan replied, "I don't regret it!"
Du Zhiming's expression shifted, and he asked again, quite seriously, "Are you sure you really won't regret it?"
Su Xuan was getting impatient. "I don't regret it! I don't regret it! I'll never regret it in my life! Just get this divorce over with!"
Hearing her heartless words, Du Zhiming knew there was no way to salvage the situation, and his expression turned strange.
"Okay, then I'll leave." He changed the subject, "But there are some things I haven't taken from home. You can take this opportunity to get any important things you have."
Su Xuan was a little surprised by his 180-degree change in attitude, but thinking that she had indeed forgotten some things at that house and would probably be useful during the divorce, she went with Du Zhiming.
Su Yan followed them into the building without saying a word.
As soon as Su Xuan entered the house, she immediately smelled a pungent odor.
"What does this taste like?"
Yu Wende, who had worked in the kitchen for many years, was the first to realize what was going on.
"It's gas!"
But it was too late to react. Amidst everyone's panic, Du Zhiming pulled out a lighter.
Even Su Yan's expression changed upon seeing this.
She demanded sharply, "What are you trying to do!"
Du Zhiming chuckled twice, "What? Didn't you want to see who's more ruthless? Then let's have a contest!"
As he spoke, he threateningly pressed the lighter.
Su Xuan panicked when she saw his action and exclaimed in fright, "Du Zhiming, are you crazy!"
Du Zhiming couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw the panicked faces of the group.
"I'm insane! You've driven me insane! Why do you have to make things difficult for me, pushing me again and again! Su Xuan, what right do you have to divorce me! You have no right to divorce me, if anyone should be asking for a divorce, it should be me!"
Su Xuan stared intently at the lighter in his hand, terrified that he might press it down at any moment; her legs went weak with fear.
"Fine, go ahead and bring it up, you can bring it up for divorce now! Put the lighter down first." She coaxed Du Zhiming gently.
Although words couldn't persuade Du Zhiming to give up the lighter, they did lift his spirits, and his face shone with satisfaction.
He turned his head and glared at Su Yan: "And you! I'm just a poor kid, going to school is so hard! My whole family supports my education, I've studied hard for years, suffered so much, and finally achieved what I have today. But because of one sentence from you! All my hard work has been wasted! Tell me, aren't you guilty!"
Su Yan shook off Ye Mei's hand that was blocking her and walked straight toward Du Zhiming.
"If I am truly guilty, the law will punish me. If you are truly innocent, how come I was able to find fault with you?"
As she pressed closer, Du Zhiming gripped the lighter even tighter and threatened Su Yan, "Don't come any closer, I really will press it!"
Su Yan shook her head with a smile, "Your goal today is definitely not for us to die with you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have begged Su Xuan not to divorce you right away. Tell me, what exactly is your purpose and what do you want?"
Du Zhiming was somewhat surprised to see that she had seen through his thoughts, and then his face was filled with disgust.
"I find your self-righteous, smug attitude disgusting!"
Su Yan simply smiled and remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
"I want five million! And I want you to write in your own hand that this money is a gift to me." Du Zhiming made an outrageous demand. "As long as I get the money, I will divorce Su Xuan, but you have to guarantee that I can leave M City safely."
Su Yan nodded thoughtfully and readily agreed.
"Okay, I'll give you five million."
She agreed so quickly that Du Zhiming began to wonder if he had asked for too little.
Su Yan changed the subject, "But I also have conditions. I'll have someone give you the money, get the divorce done, arrange for you to leave, and then I'll leave."
Before Du Zhiming could even utter a word after Su Yan said that, Ye Mei shouted, "No!"
When she saw Su Yan turn her head to look at her, she immediately shook her head vigorously, like a rattle drum.
"Yan Yan, you can't."
"It's not up to you." Su Yan turned to look at Du Zhiming. "How about it?"
Du Zhiming hesitated, staring at Su Yan, his mind racing as he pondered whether there was any trickery in her words.
As he hesitated, Ye Mei rushed forward and grabbed Su Yan's hand.
"Yan Yan, go away, Mom will be your hostage."
Su Yan coldly shook off her hand, "You have no right to make decisions here."
Ye Mei grasped her hand tightly again, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Yan Yan, I know that no matter what I say now, you won’t believe me. But Mom still wants to say that Mom has never wanted to abandon you! Mom also wants to see you, but your dad won’t let me see you. I can only catch a glimpse of you from afar at the entrance of the alley each time, and I don’t dare to get close.”
Every year on your birthday, Mom prepares a birthday present for you and keeps it in your room at home. Mom also...
Su Yan listened to her incessant chatter, then suddenly frowned, forcefully shook off her, and roared at her, "What are you trying to achieve by saying all this! I don't want to see you, don't you understand! Get out of here!"
"Yan Yan! Mommy has already abandoned you once, Mommy can't abandon you a second time!"
Ye Mei suppressed it with an even louder voice.
Su Yan paused for a moment, a strange emotion seeming to appear in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her gaze to cover it up.
