Chapter 124 Finally Divorced, Let's Go Our Separate Ways
Cheng Yan was completely immersed in this exciting information and completely ignored Jiang Meng's long expression.
It wasn't until she saw Jiang Meng didn't continue talking that she revealed a concerned tone: "Aunt Jiang, are you also reluctant to see your cousin divorce Zhinan? Yes, your cousin is so gentle and talented..."
"She is just an insatiable wolf, and her true nature is finally revealed." Jiang Meng interrupted Cheng Yan without waiting for her to finish her words, with a hateful tone.
Cheng Yan was shocked and asked quickly, "Aunt Jiang, you seem very angry?"
Jiang Meng pounded his swollen chest and said, "At the beginning, it was because she was honest, and I had a relationship with her mother before. Because we were friends, I let her marry into the Li family and help her pay off her debts. She has indeed behaved very well in the past four years. I liked her very much at the beginning."
"Before they got married, she signed a prenuptial agreement with Zhinan. I've read it and thought she was a good woman who wasn't vain. Now it seems I was wrong. She secretly made a killer move. She retreated to advance, forcing Zhinan to divorce her and taking away nearly 30 billion in assets. She said it was for Xiaoye, but they're already divorced..."
"How much?" Cheng Yan's pupils trembled. "Aunt Jiang, you are not kidding, right? She took away 30 billion?"
Jiang Meng sneered: "I've confirmed with the company's lawyer, it's indeed close to 30 billion, including assets and equity."
Cheng Yan was having difficulty breathing and clenched her fists in anger. Thirty billion, all the companies in her Cheng family combined, was only less than twenty billion, and part of it was Dong Dong's money. The actual share of her and her father was only five billion.
Cheng Qian got 30 billion just for a divorce. Cheng Yan was jealous and thought that Cheng Qian took away her betrothal gift.
"Aunt Jiang, can you think of a way to stop this? You can't just give her so much money for nothing. You have to get it back." Cheng Yan was so jealous that she went crazy and lost all her reason. She immediately begged Jiang Meng to find a solution.
Jiang Meng's face was filled with anger: "I went to find Zhinan. Do you know what Zhinan did? When I wanted to tear Cheng Qian apart, he actually protected her and stopped me from doing anything to her."
Cheng Yan's eyes, red with jealousy, froze for a moment and looked at Jiang Meng: "You said Zhinan is protecting her?"
"Yes, I don't know what's going on. It's like Zhinan's heart has turned to her overnight. Xiaoyan, what should we do? Zhinan has always looked down on her before." What Jiang Meng is most worried about at the moment is that her son's heart is with Cheng Qian.
Cheng Yan's face turned stiff. When she heard Li Zhinan starting to side with Cheng Qian, she felt a turmoil in her heart.
"Aunt Jiang, are you still hiding something from me? I know Zhinan's character. He wouldn't favor Cheng Qian for no reason." Cheng Yan calmed down. She wanted to find the point of change.
Jiang Meng is also very regretful at this moment for the wrong decision she made back then.
Cheng Yan noticed that Jiang Meng's expression had really changed. She asked, "Aunt Jiang, I already call you mom, can't you tell me what you know? We are now dealing with the same person, and I am your most powerful helper."
Jiang Meng looked at the girl in front of her with eyes full of sincerity. She suddenly straightened her face and said, "Zhi Nan always hated Cheng Qian because he suspected that she had schemed against him four years ago and that was how Xiao Ye got pregnant. But a few days ago, I accidentally let it slip. Zhi Nan questioned me about it, and I told her the truth about what happened four years ago. In fact, I arranged for them to go into the same room that night. I got Cheng Qian drunk and drugged her."
"Aunt Jiang..." Cheng Yan's face turned pale and ugly when she heard this, but she quickly changed her expression: "Aunt Jiang, you are stupid. How can Cheng Qian be worthy of Zhinan? Why would you want a woman from a declining family to marry into the Li family?"
Jiang Meng sighed, looking depressed and haggard. "I'm also trying to find hope for Xiaowei. I thought that since her parents are both great researchers, she must be no worse off. So, I'm hoping that after she marries into the Li family, she'll focus on researching a cure for Xiaowei."
Cheng Yan's expression changed slightly. In fact, as early as three years ago, she had guessed that Li's investment in Cheng Qian's parents' laboratory was to seek drugs to cure Li Zhiwei.
Cheng Yan would not allow Cheng Qian to make a breakthrough in scientific research, so she secretly used a lot of tricks to force Cheng Qian to always produce unsatisfactory results. Of course, Cheng Qian would inevitably be scolded.
She remembered that someone sent her the video of Li Zhinan scolding Cheng Qian in public, and she was very happy watching it at that time.
Cheng Qian lowered her head, looking helpless. The disappointment and impatience in Li Zhinan's eyes made Cheng Yan believe that their marriage would not last long.
Right now, Cheng Yan can't let Jiang Meng know that Cheng Qian hasn't produced any results in the past few years, and that it's her "contribution" to this.
"Aunt Jiang, you think too highly of her. A child can inherit their parents' financial resources, but not their abilities." Cheng Yan took the opportunity to suppress and belittle Cheng Qian.
Jiang Meng felt that what she said made sense and nodded: "Yes, I still overestimated her. In these four years, she has not achieved anything to be proud of."
"Aunt Jiang, are those 30 billion...really just given to her like this?" Cheng Yan felt terribly painful just thinking about it, as if all the money that was taken away was hers.
Jiang Meng was helpless. She could only grit her teeth and say, "I'll talk to Zhinan about this later. It would be great if I can get some of it back. Cheng Qian is a woman with so much money. If she takes this divorce property and wants to marry another man... I don't dare to think about it."
When Cheng Yan heard this, she immediately sneered, "Aunt Jiang, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you. In fact, Cheng Qian has had ambiguous relationships with more than one person while she was married."
Jiang Meng's face changed, and he immediately stared at Cheng Yan: "Do you have any evidence?"
Cheng Yan shook her head: "No, but women's intuition is also very accurate. I am sure that my guess is correct."
"Who is it?" Jiang Meng asked hatefully. He didn't expect that Cheng Qian looked honest but was not honest at all behind the scenes. She even dared to have an ambiguous relationship with someone. If he had evidence, he could get the money back.
Cheng Yan curled her lips and sneered, "One of them is Ji Yichen, the investor of the Seed Research Institute. The second one... is our mutual friend, Chu Huaijing. Aunt Jiang, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate secretly. You might find something unexpected."
"How come these two outstanding men both like her?" Jiang Meng was shocked when he heard this.
"I can only say that Cheng Qian is too good at pretending and acting. Don't be fooled by her cold appearance. I feel that she has already figured out men's minds. She knows what they like, and she acts accordingly until men fall for her." Cheng Yan sneered jealously.
"Okay, I must find someone to investigate thoroughly. If she really cheated on me during marriage, I must make Zhinan get the money back." After Jiang Meng said this, she left.
At this moment, Cheng Yan no longer felt any joy.
She thought that after hearing that Li Zhinan was divorced, she would have a chance to marry into the family.
At this moment, Jiang Meng's words poured another bucket of cold water on her. After Li Zhinan's divorce, he actually still protected Cheng Qian.
This is a very dangerous signal. Could it be that Li Zhinan has developed feelings for her while they are still married?
