Yu Anning took a few bites and said bluntly, "Yu Shaoning is indeed a scumbag, and I won't say anything nice about him. As for the divorce, my family doesn't agree with it."
"Yu Shaoning shouldn't disagree, right? He's probably eager to divorce his wife and marry Sun Yurong so he can live a blissful life," Ye Qingqing countered.
Yu Anning did not deny it, "That's right, Yu Shaoning does want a divorce, but divorce is not just a matter between the two of you. It involves the entire Yu family, including their careers, assets, and reputation. This divorce is not something you can just decide to do. It's not that simple."
Encouraged by Ye Qingqing, Lü Ziqun mustered the courage to retort, "Yu Shaoning doesn't like me. He wants a divorce, and I want a divorce too. How can two people who want a divorce continue to live together? I've made up my mind. We must get a divorce, and I demand compensation for two houses."
Yu Anning remained calm, her thoughts unreadable, her expression extremely serious. This woman seemed incapable of smiling; from the moment she entered until now, her face remained unchanged, a typical expressionless face.
“Let’s analyze this from two perspectives. First, from the perspective of your career plan, it’s true that my brother doesn’t like you, but your purpose in marrying my brother wasn’t pure either, because the Yu family can provide you with career assistance. You are already the deputy director of the publicity department, and if nothing unexpected happens, you can be promoted to director within three years. Our Yu family can guarantee that.”
Yu Anning spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, neither too fast nor too slow, but every word she uttered hit the nail on the head. She was indeed a formidable and capable woman; no wonder Lü Ziqun dared not come alone.
"If you divorce my brother, your career will inevitably be hindered. My parents are not magnanimous people. They will help their daughter-in-law rise to the top, but they will also trip up people they don't like. This is human nature. So, let alone being promoted, you may not even be able to keep your current position as deputy minister. You may even be transferred to the grassroots level for training. All of these are possible."
Lu Ziqun's palms were sweaty. She had considered all of this, and originally thought she wouldn't care, but now that Yu Anning had said it to her face, she realized that she really cared.
Her childhood dream was to be a leader, managing a group of people, and being extremely powerful.
Under the table, Ye Qingqing gently patted Lü Ziqun, telling her not to panic.
However, she also admired Yu Anning. Although this woman threatened openly, she was not disliked because she spoke the truth and did not threaten in a condescending manner. Instead, she presented the pros and cons one by one, just like chatting with a friend.
Yu Anning ate a few more bites and then stopped. She only ate a third of her meal, leaving most of it uneaten, showing that she had a very small appetite.
"Let's talk about you personally. You're in your early thirties now, and you'll definitely remarry after your divorce. But you can't guarantee that the man you marry will be better than my brother. The worst outcome is that he might be even worse than my brother, and that possibility is quite high. From a woman's perspective, I sympathize with you, but I also want to tell you the truth: men in this world are all pretty much the same. There are more heartless men than loving men. Every marriage is a mess, and everyone has to work things out together."
Yu Anning paused, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and calm.
“I’ve never thought about remarrying. I’m fine living alone. Women don’t necessarily have to find a man to live with. I’m independent in personality and financially, so why should I wrong myself?” Lu Ziqun retorted softly.
