122 Dealing with a love rival
Liang Zhen felt an intense sense of oppression from Huo Yanxi, and he lowered his head.
“But Mr. Huo, I love Yaoyao, and I don’t want to divorce her.”
Huo Yanxi narrowed his eyes. "Attorney Liang, do you really like Teacher Xie?"
Liang Zhen originally disliked it, but now that he sees Huo Yanxi likes it, he is even less able to get a divorce.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have registered my marriage with her back then."
Huo Yanxi scoffed, "You like her, yet you stayed in the country alone when she was going through the most difficult time of childbirth and raising her child. I can't say I admire your affection, Attorney Liang."
certainly.
These words also pierced his heart.
If he had known back then that Manman was pregnant with her child, he would never have left her side.
Liang Zhen said, "At that time, I really had to go abroad."
Huo Yanxi: "In that case, Attorney Liang, don't force it now."
“Mr. Huo, most relationships in this world are forced. Since we are destined to be husband and wife, I want to continue this destiny.”
Huo Yanxi gave a cold laugh.
Some people won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.
She thought she could fool him by claiming to be a Casanova. If he didn't know something beforehand, he wouldn't have approached her for a talk.
He picked up his phone and made a call, "Secretary Pei, bring the documents in."
Liang Zhen's eyes lit up slightly.
Rich people are indeed vulgar; they only know how to appease others with money.
But no matter how much money he offers, he will not easily agree to a divorce.
Unless he can give him 100 million.
Secretary Pei soon pushed the door open with a document and laid it out in front of Liang Zhen.
"Attorney Liang, please take a good look."
Liang Zhen suppressed his excitement, looking at the documents in front of him, his blood was boiling.
It's a document, not a check.
It seems Huo Yanxi has prepared other properties or companies to try and sway him.
Sure enough, the big boss is savvy; he knows what price to pay to achieve his goals.
He picked up the document and saw that it was an investigation report.
They thoroughly investigated what happened to him abroad, providing not only written explanations but also photographic evidence.
There are even testimonies from third parties.
With a loud "boom".
Liang Zhen's mind went blank as he stared blankly at Huo Yanxi in front of him.
At this moment, he shed his aloof and arrogant facade, resembling a demon crawling out of hell.
"I heard that Mr. Liang was deported back to China. You violated regulations and crossed the line abroad, and even had your lawyer's license revoked by the legal profession. Does that mean the lawyer's license you used in China was fake?"
Just now, he treated him like a human being, but now he's taking advantage of the situation and refusing to act like one.
Now that he's exposed his true colors, he's unhappy again.
Liang Zhen gripped the edge of the document tightly with both hands, trembling with anger. "You investigated me?"
"If I want to use you, I'll naturally conduct a background check. Surely Attorney Liang knows that?"
The implication is that even if he investigates him, it is legal and justifiable.
Liang Zhen's face turned extremely ugly, and he stopped pretending in front of Huo Yanxi.
He slammed the documents on the low table, stood up, and stared at Huo Yanxi, revealing his ruthless, thuggish nature.
"Mr. Huo, since you've investigated me thoroughly, I'm not going to pretend anymore."
"Indeed, I haven't been doing very well abroad, but so what?"
Pei Yan was shocked by his shamelessness. "How can you be so shameless?"
Liang Zhen ignored him and stared intently at Huo Yanxi. "Let me be frank with you, I will not divorce Xie Yaoyao."
No matter what kind of relationship Huo Yanxi wants to develop with Xie Yaoyao, as long as he doesn't get a divorce, he will be the other woman.
Huo Yanxi leaned back on the sofa, completely relaxing. "Really?"
"I know you have some feelings for Xie Yaoyao, but Mr. Huo, do you have some kind of perverted fetish for married women? Xie Yaoyao is so fat, how can you still find her attractive..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was punched in the stomach by Huo Yanxi, who suddenly appeared.
The excruciating pain caused him to stagger back a few steps. He bent over, clutching his lower abdomen, sweating profusely from the pain.
He paused for a moment, then looked at Huo Yanxi with a pained expression. "What, did I touch a nerve?"
"No!" Huo Yanxi gently shook his head. "You shouldn't have slandered her like that."
He wouldn't allow anyone to say a bad word about Xie Yaoyao.
"You're really protecting her. Did you two do it? She's so fat, wouldn't it be... hard to hug her?"
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Yanxi kicked him away again, sending him crashing heavily to the floor with a thud.
Liang Zhen's vision went black, and he almost fainted.
Huo Yanxi walked up to him, looking down at him, "If you dare to insult her again, I guarantee you'll be mute for the rest of your life."
Liang Zhen trembled all over, and this time he really dared not talk nonsense anymore.
He gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and stared at Huo Yanxi. "Since Mr. Huo is so eager for Xie Yaoyao to regain her single status, why not pay a price?"
Huo Yanxi scoffed coldly.
The fox finally showed his tail and stopped pretending to be a Casanova.
He sat back on the sofa. "Tell me your conditions."
Liang Zhen scrambled to his feet, a dark glint in his eyes.
He was like a starving wolf, ready to lick clean any flesh he could find.
"One hundred million, and I'll divorce Xie Yaoyao."
Pei Yan was stunned. "Why didn't you just rob it?"
Liang Zhen revealed a greedy look in his eyes, "I helped her back then, and now she's on her second marriage. Since President Huo is interested in her, it's not too much to pay a price, is it?"
Before Pei Yan could continue speaking, Huo Yanxi raised his hand and said, "Bring me the checkbook."
Pei Yan said indignantly, "President Huo, he is clearly extorting money. This amount is not worth 100 million."
Huo Yanxi didn't waste any words with him, "Go get the checkbook."
In Liang Zhen's eyes, Xie Yaoyao was worth 100 million, but in his eyes, Manman was priceless.
He would give her anything, not just a hundred million, but half of his entire fortune, if it could make her single again.
Pei Yan had no choice but to take the checkbook from his desk drawer and hand it to Huo Yanxi.
Huo Yanxi took a pen, filled in 100 million on the check, and signed his name.
He tore off the check and casually tossed it in front of Liang Zhen. "Go get the divorce certificate from Teacher Xie tomorrow, and then tell the legal department that your firm is withdrawing from this project."
He couldn't possibly let this wretched thing continue to roam under his nose.
Once he divorces Xie Yaoyao, he will be of no value to her.
Liang Zhen picked up the check and saw the eight zeros, but he no longer felt humiliated.
He pushed himself up and said, "Don't worry, I'll get things done once I've taken the money."
Huo Yanxi didn't want to look at him anymore. "Get out!"
Liang Zhen took the check and left.
Pei Yan looked at Huo Yanxi and said, "Mr. Huo, is one hundred million worth it?"
"Giving it to him is certainly not worth it, but it's quite worth it."
Huo Yanxi's eyes were deep and unfathomable. "However, he can't keep this hundred million either."
Liang Zhen was a compulsive gambler abroad, and this 100 million will only fuel his endless desires.
In the end, he will be consumed by desire.
