Chapter 24 - Making An Example Out of Her (1)

It was 9 AM in the morning. Ye Zhiqiang arrived at the tea house on time, bringing only two men with him. On Shu Yan’s side, she had with her Shu Jianyang and also two others.

The purpose of today was to negotiate, not to fight.

“Yanyan. We are, after all, a married couple. And we have two children together. Is this really necessary?” Ye Zhiqiang said as he looked at the divorce papers that Shu Yan had drafted up, leaving him with absolutely nothing.

“I’m not deaf,” Shu Yan said as she scanned over him, beginning to lose her patience.

Ye Zhiqiang took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said, “Just think about it, I am still the father of our two children. When I said I wanted a divorce, I never said I’d leave you penniless, right? This is a little extreme, don’t you think?”
