Chapter 918: Chapter 916: A Mom Who Dreams of Getting Rich Every Day 18
Originally a bit bewildered, Liang Xuefang snapped back to her senses and sneered, "Fine, divorce it is. I actually haven’t wanted to be with you for a long time."
Divorcing might be a good thing, Liang Xuefang thought. Should she really stay tethered to someone like An Shuo Hai all her life?
As for having him manage the money, that idea is really outdated. Keeping the money for three to five years, who knows how much it would devalue? It’d be better to invest it instead.
Xu Yue is unreliable?
She thought An Shuo Hai must be jealous of Xu Yue’s ability to make money. Although Xu Yue isn’t as good-looking as he is, his capabilities are impressive.
If she had chosen Xu Yue back then, imagine how great life could have been now. She wouldn’t have been tangled up with An Shuo Hai, living days that felt unfulfilled.
Recently, Xu Yue has indeed shown interest in her. After all these years, the fact that he hasn’t forgotten her is very touching, which made her welcome his advances.
Originally, she was troubled, feeling conflicted inside. After all, she has a family and kids. Could she really give up everything to be with Xu Yue? It’s touching that Xu Yue still remembers her after so long. But to immediately let go of everything? She still feels some reluctance and caution. Now, it’s resolved; An Shuo Hai suggested it himself, so let him not regret it later.
Besides, she actually knows that even if a person is honest, An Shuo Hai wouldn’t choose to continue after discovering her ambiguous relationship with Xu Yue. Having come this far, there’s really no turning back. Asking her to plead for An Shuo Hai’s forgiveness and cut off from Xu Yue is simply impossible.
Apart from his looks, Xu Yue has vision and courage. Now that’s what defines a promising man.
Originally, she felt a bit guilty about being discovered by An Shuo Hai, but this person really is honest. If it was another man, he wouldn’t have agreed so easily to the divorce, much less divide the property normally.
Thinking of this, Liang Xuefang felt some conflict – is she really going to divorce An Shuo Hai?
Apart from not knowing how to be flexible, An Shuo Hai is quite good, often treating her well.
Forget it, forget it, she decided not to think about it. Bowing to An Shuo Hai was impossible.
Lately, she realized one thing: having money, being able to make money, is what truly empowers you.
"Xuefang, I proposed those things for your own good. You know my character, I wouldn’t harm you. That Xu Yue, even if you want to be with him, you should understand him better, especially his investments, which involve deep waters. Even if you want to invest, don’t put everything you have into it," An Shuo Hai said. After all, it was twenty years of marriage.
He still wanted to persuade her a bit.
"None of this is your concern. After we divorce, we’ll go our separate ways. I’ll live my life, and you’ll live yours. You won’t interfere with me, and I won’t interfere with you. What I do with my money is entirely my business," Liang Xuefang said. "What about the kids? What’s the arrangement?"
She actually knew An Shuo Hai should take care of the two kids, and she was happy with that.
"I’ll handle both of the kids, you don’t have an issue with that, right?" An Shuo Hai said. "Chenchen is now a high school student; you wouldn’t want to care for her."
Liang Xuefang replied, "Okay, just like that."
She had a lot to deal with and certainly didn’t have the time to manage a high schooler with a heavy academic load.
That daughter of hers really took after her father, siding with him, so she couldn’t be bothered anymore.
Haven’t people online said, as long as the parents make money, the kids will still cling to them eagerly? She really had nothing to be worried about. The reason the kids were close to An Shuo Hai was because he, their father, could make money.
And her eldest son didn’t believe her either. Since he is her son, she put up with it, otherwise, would she bring him along to earn money? This kid’s reluctance truly angered her.
An Shuo Hai took a deep breath, realizing that persuading Liang Xuefang was futile, so he stopped trying.
They agreed to go through the divorce proceedings on Monday.
"Your mother and I have agreed to get divorced on Monday," An Shuo Hai told Ah Chen. "Things will remain the same, don’t let it affect your studies. If you feel something is wrong, let Dad know."
Ah Chen immediately agreed, even comforting An Shuo Hai with a few words.
The initially hurt An Shuo Hai felt a bit relieved. Divorce is just divorce, there’s really nothing too sad about it. Liang Xuefang had emotionally checked out long ago. To still be alive with his oldest child and able to change his daughter’s fate in the dream was already good enough; he shouldn’t ask for too much.
One must know contentment.
Afterwards, An Shuo Hai made a call to An Miao, explaining everything clearly.
An Miao expressed understanding and supported An Shuo Hai’s decision, which finally eased An Shuo Hai’s mind completely.
Since he took into account the years of marriage with Liang Xuefang, he mentioned to An Miao his concern about Liang Xuefang potentially being deceived by Xu Yue, and suggested that if possible, he should try to talk to her.
An Miao agreed.
He actually knew deep down that his mother, acting like this, wouldn’t really listen to him.
But since his dad had mentioned it, and she is his mother after all, he planned to find an opportunity to talk with her.
Liang Xuefang went to find Li Xiaoqing with mixed feelings. Upon hearing of her impending divorce from An Shuo Hai, both Li Xiaoqing and Fei Xiu were quite surprised.
"Why else? We just can’t live together anymore. An Shuo Hai is too stubborn; we really aren’t compatible. Being apart will be better, we’ll each live our own lives." Regarding the divorce involving Xu Yue, Liang Xuefang wasn’t foolish enough to mention her ambiguous relationship with Xu Yue.
Had An Shuo Hai not known about her and Xu Yue’s ambiguous affair, she might have even complained that he was too petty, assuming things just because she was investing with Xu Yue.
But the photos on An Shuo Hai’s phone clearly showed her and Xu Yue’s unusual relationship. She couldn’t say that, fearing that if it reached An Shuo Hai’s ears, this honest man might still have a temper, and who knows what chaos could ensue.
Even if she didn’t speak, could others really not see?
Everything was tacitly understood, unspoken.
Li Xiaoqing said, "Then I congratulate you on gaining freedom. What about the assets? These years An Shuo Hai has been earning and managing the money; was he difficult about it?"
"No, he’s an honest guy. He wasn’t unreasonable about that. The division is according to normal standards." Liang Xuefang suddenly felt a bit choked up. Before Xu Yue came back, she never thought about divorce; despite occasional dissatisfaction, it never crossed her mind.
But once the arrow is released, there’s no turning back. Someone as conservative and timid as her wasn’t compatible with An Shuo Hai anymore.
Spending the rest of her life like this, was she really willing?
Liang Xuefang shook her head secretly, no, she was not content!
At 39, she doesn’t look old, and there’s still a significant portion of her life ahead. She doesn’t want to pass like this. This world isn’t short of late bloomers; so many have succeeded in entrepreneurship mid-life, why not her?
"Xuefang, be cautious about the divorce. Men like An Shuo Hai aren’t easy to find; missing him might be a loss." The usually silent Fei Xiu suddenly spoke up.
"What’s so good about him?" Li Xiaoqing rolled her eyes, "If he were good, he should support Xuefang’s career. What he’s doing is stifling her, afraid she might outshine him."
