"I have absolutely nothing to do with him!!"
Su Jinyu raised her voice, with a hint of helplessness and anger in her tone, "Shen Jingan, let's part ways amicably. There's no need to involve innocent people."
There was a hint of fatigue in her eyes, and she was extremely annoyed by Shen Jingan's entanglement.
"You... think divorce is so easy?"
Shen Jing'an took a step forward. Although his legs were still a little lame, his momentum was not diminished at all. He looked down at Su Jinyu, as if declaring his sovereignty to her.
Of course, it is not easy to get divorced.
Otherwise, with Su Jinyu's personality, how could she have remained silent and allowed this marriage in name only to continue to bind herself.
At this moment, hearing Shen Jingan's question, Su Jinyu sneered in her heart. She already understood his intention, "Are you here to make conditions?"
She raised her chin slightly, staring straight at Shen Jingan, her eyes full of insight and her tone filled with unquestionable determination.
Although Shen Jingan never denied that he was attracted to Su Jinyu's identity, when he heard her so bluntly put a price on their marriage, he suddenly felt an indescribable anger and shame in his heart.
His face turned ashen in an instant, like an eggplant frostbitten by frost, extremely ugly.
"What does our marriage mean to you?"
His voice trembled slightly because of anger, his eyes were red, and he stared straight at Su Jinyu, as if he wanted to find a trace of reluctance to this marriage from her face.
Su Jinyu found the look on his face extremely funny.
She snorted softly, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips. "Is our marriage based on mutual affection? It's just the product of a marriage between two families. Why do you have to pretend to be in love with me... You came to the Governor's Mansion in a hurry, didn't you come to end it with me?"
Her voice was clear, and every word she spoke was like a sharp blade, cutting through Shen Jingan's disguised mask and exposing the true nature of this marriage to the two of them.
Shen Jing'an's eyes flashed with panic, and he subconsciously wanted to save something, even if it was just a bit of face. "If I get angry with Wang Manrou, I won't give birth to the child. I will be devoted to you in the future, and you..."
"Shen Jing'an!!"
Su Jinyu suddenly called out his name coldly, her voice sharp and cold, as if it came from the cold wind of a cold night, "You don't even love your own child, are you still a human being!"
There was a flame of anger burning in her eyes, her chest heaving violently, and she felt extremely angry and disappointed at Shen Jingan's words.
"You..." Shen Jingan was speechless because of her words, his face turned pale and red.
He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't find any words to refute.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me your conditions."
Su Jinyu couldn't stand him anymore. She didn't want to get involved in this meaningless entanglement with Shen Jingan anymore. She just wanted to end this farce as soon as possible and start a new life.
Shen Jing'an's mind flashed with his father's serious and somewhat greedy face. His father's order was like a heavy yoke, forcing him to act according to his request.
He took a deep breath, trying to look calmer, but his eyes still revealed a hint of nervousness and guilt.
"Divorce is fine, but you have to give me the key to the storehouse at home." He tried his best to make his voice sound calm, but he still trembled a little unconsciously.
"Of course."
Su Jinyu agreed without thinking.
In her opinion, after leaving the Shen family, the keys to those warehouses were just a pile of useless metal to her. She naturally had no right or interest in managing the Shen family's warehouses.
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Shen Jing'an did not feel relieved at all, but became even more nervous.
He licked his dry lips and repeated the sentence, his voice unconsciously raised a few points, as if to give himself courage: "It is the key to all the storerooms in the house!"
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyu was stunned for a long time, with confusion written all over his face.
She didn't understand why Shen Jingan emphasized it so much. His eyes seemed to say, "Is there anything special about this?"
She frowned slightly and stared at Shen Jingan closely, trying to find the answer from his face.
"There are three keys to the Shen family's warehouse. I will give them all to Mrs. Shen."
Su Jinyu finished speaking slowly, looking at Shen Jingan without blinking. Seeing him shaking his head, she became even more confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Jingan's face flushed red, as if someone had seen through his thoughts, and he felt angry and embarrassed.
He stiffened his neck, his tone was a little tough, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Not three, but seven!"
Now, Su Jinyu understood everything.
There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, which was full of ridicule and disdain.
"Is the Shen family so destitute?"
She teased, her voice was crisp, but it was like a sharp blade that pierced Shen Jingan's self-esteem.
Shen Jing'an's face turned pale and red, he clenched his fists, and the anger and unwillingness in his heart surged like a tide.
"It's you who got divorced, and it's my Shen family's reputation that's lost... How much did the Shen family spend to marry you?"
He tried to justify his behavior, but his voice sounded so weak that even he felt unconvinced.
Su Jinyu smiled faintly the whole time, and that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, yet it also carried a hint of an elusive chill.
"I've seen the Shen family's accounts. Although they're not rich, they're well-off. How come they're so obsessed with my dowry?"
She deliberately downplayed "that little dowry", but everyone knew that her dowry was not a small amount, at least much more than the entire fortune of the Shen family.
In her opinion, the Shen family was a noble family after all, and doing such a thing as taking their daughter-in-law's dowry was really disrespectful.
"If you want a divorce, this is the condition!"
Shen Jing'an didn't want to continue this topic. He felt that his dignity had been trampled upon by Su Jinyu.
After saying this, he turned around and left in a hurry. His hurried steps seemed to reveal his inner anxiety and embarrassment.
Su Jinyu looked at his leaving back, her smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of indifference.
She sighed softly, and couldn't help feeling sad that this farce of a marriage ended in such an ugly way.
After returning to the room, she sat quietly on the chair, staring at the seven keys that Qingru had found.
Qing Ru, who was standing aside, was furious and complained: "This Shen family is simply a bandit! How can they be so excessive? It has only been a few months since we got married, and they actually want to take all of your dowry for themselves! It is really shameless! We can't quit so easily, we must go to the marshal to judge and let the marshal do us justice! How can they bully others so wantonly!"
