Chapter Thirty-One: Finally Divorced
Shu Xiao Ai would certainly not admit it. Once she admitted it, she and her father would not be able to leave the Qin mansion. Probably getting a divorce wouldn't be easy either.
"Mother-in-law, are you kidding me? I just started working a few days ago after marrying into your family. You've been controlling the finances all along and haven't given me a single penny. Your son doesn't give me any money either, so I don't even have living expenses. And now you want to do something that costs money? Even if we find someone else to take photos, it'll still cost money, not to mention a hotel photoshoot. I'd like to get photos taken too, but will you provide the funds?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu's mother also suddenly felt that relying on Shu Xiao Ai was indeed impossible.
Who could it be?
"For now, let's not talk about who leaked it out, but first and foremost, we need to remove the news from the public's sight."
The servant rushed in hastily as soon as he finished speaking and reported, "Young master is back."
All eyes were on the door as Qin Zizhen walked in, looking flustered. His mother quickly asked, "Zizhen, have you dealt with the public relations matter?"
"It's impossible to deal with." He sat down, "It's as if there are even more formidable people who won't let go, these media outlets are impervious to reason, no amount of money can make them withdraw, it's truly unprecedented."
"Have you offended some big shot at work?" Qin Mu's mother asked tentatively.
Qin Zizhen shook her head, seemingly deep in thought, "No."
"Zi Zhen's dad, now if you don't quickly find out who is behind the scenes manipulating things, there will be no way to withdraw the news."
Qin's father said weakly, "Then spend a lot of money to investigate, and must find out who it is."
Qin Zizhen was just about to go out when Shu Xia'ai called him back in time.
"Sign this first, then you can go, it won't be late."
Qin Mu looked up and said immediately, "Now is the time when things are urgent at home, can't you talk about divorce another day?"
"Just sign the paper, it won't take long, just a signature. After signing, my dad and I will leave, no matter how chaotic things are at home, it has nothing to do with me."
She had just finished speaking when Shu's father, who was also furious, stood up and said, "Hurry up and sign it. I don't want my daughter to suffer in your house for even one minute!"
Qin's father felt ashamed and humiliated, his sharp eyes staring at Qin Zizhun, "What are you still dazing about? Sign!"
"Wait..." Qin Mu's mother said tensely, "Let me take a look at this divorce agreement."
Shu Xiao Ai handed it to her, and Qin Mu carefully looked at it, not letting go of any suspicious words or phrases. She read all the way to the end without seeing anything about property matters, only then did she feel relieved and hand the agreement to Qin Zi Zhen. "Son, no problem, you can sign, but before signing, I still want to reiterate one thing: if the media comes to interview you both about this matter, you should either remain silent or say that you are divorcing due to incompatible personalities. Can you do that?"
Xiao Ai smiled, "Mother-in-law, this is probably the last time I'll be calling you that. Don't worry, my family and I won't make any comments about my ex-husband because he's not part of our family, so there's no need for us to say anything."
The two words "ex-husband" made Qin Ziyu feel very uneasy in her heart.
"Good," said Qin Mu's mother, nodding her head. "Zi Zhen, sign the agreement. This marriage should not have taken place in the first place. It's better for both parties to part ways."
Qin Zizhen took out a pen and signed his name with flair on both copies of the agreement, as did Shu Xiaoyi. Each party held one copy of the divorce agreement.
Hand over the agreement to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Finally, this agreement does not mention the distribution of property, which means that after the divorce, Shu Xiao Ai, you won't get a single penny, you need to be clear about this."
