Chapter 496 Little Shuoyang Has No Mother Anymore
Ye Shenge quickly reached out and pulled him to sit beside her. She had already been a great catalyst today; she didn't want to increase the dosage.
"Hello, Grandma and Grandpa. Taking care of your health is most important."
"We know. We've made Nannan endure hardship today."
Grandma Bai knew that her grandson-in-law doted on Nannan the most. No matter how she dealt with Luo Xueli, she had to say something.
"Then it's better to remove the tumor and let everyone feel at ease."
"You should rest first. We'll talk about other things later."
Ye Shenge wished she could cover Zi Yisheng's mouth. Didn't he see Grandpa's face getting even darker?
"Okay, wife. I won't say anything more."
With that, he leaned back on the sofa and squeezed his wife's hand.
"We are also aware of your previous issues. Since Chu Fan has made his decision, we won't say anything more. As for Luo Xueli, you did give birth to two children for the Bai family. Even if you leave, you can't take them with you, but we will provide compensation."
Grandpa no longer wanted to talk. If his eldest grandson wanted a divorce, so be it. At least the family would be peaceful, and his eldest grandson could come home normally.
"I'm not divorcing! I've done nothing wrong! Everything I've done is for Chu Fan. I want our son to be outstanding, and I want my brother to succeed, all to lessen Chu Fan's burden. Yet, I gave my all for Chu Fan, only to be abandoned. Bai Chu Fan, you are heartless."
"Heh, I really don't need your 'all.' It would be great if you didn't cause me trouble every day."
Luo Xueli even wondered if her persistence had been correct. Wasn't this exactly what they meant by men turning their backs on people?
But she absolutely could not leave the Bai family. Because she married into the Bai family, her father had been envied at work, and his career had been smooth sailing. Her younger brother also admired her the most, even relying on her. She couldn't imagine how much ridicule she would face if she left the Bai family.
"I will not leave the Bai family. I absolutely will not leave. I have done nothing wrong, and you cannot decide my fate like this."
Bai Chu Fan wanted to settle this matter today, otherwise Luo Xueli would continue to make things worse at home.
"Luo Xueli, be sensible and divorce. I can compensate you. Otherwise, you, your father, and your brother will all have to leave Mingcheng and never return."
"You, you're threatening me."
Luo Xueli couldn't even think about her heartache now. She looked at everyone in the living room – the Bai family, the wealthiest, the esteemed Leader Zi. They could easily crush her under their feet.
"You can think whatever you want! Also, before we divorce, we must sign a document severing ties with the children. I won't let you pester them later. Of course, I don't care if you remarry or have more children. If you're obedient, I'll support you for life. If you're disobedient, I'll leave you with nothing."
Bai Chu Fan saw his grandfather signal him and quickly stood up. Standing before Luo Xueli, he even felt a sense of elation for the freedom he was about to gain.
"You want me to sever ties with the children? On what grounds! I endured so much pain to give birth to them. They are my sons forever!"
"On what grounds? On the grounds that in your heart, your brother is more important than your children. Have you ever breastfed them or changed their diapers? Have you ever slept with them or played with them?"
"That's because my mother and grandmother took the children. I had no opportunity to care for them."
"Heh, how ridiculous. You all live in the same house, and who prevented you from caring for the children? Did my mother say you couldn't be with the children? If you had the intention, how could the children not be close to you?"
Luo Xueli was speechless for a moment. She thought that handing the children over to her mother-in-law and grandmother meant she wouldn't be allowed to get close to them, so she figured she just needed to be the young mistress of the Bai family.
Ye Shenge had a headache, her ears were ringing. Zi Yisheng quickly massaged her temples, but his gaze was fixed on Bai Chu Fan, impatiently thinking, "Can't you hurry up and just drag her to the divorce?"
"I, I didn't think of that."
"Hmph, it's normal that you didn't think of it because you're just stupid. Your mind is full of protecting your status. In reality, the one you love most from beginning to end is yourself.
Alright, now sign the severance document. Tomorrow, we'll go for the divorce, and then I'll send you back to your maternal home. The house I bought for your family is also a place for you to live. I put it in your name at the time."
Bai Chu Fan quickly took out paper and a pen and wrote three severance documents, handing one to Luo Xueli.
Luo Xueli took the paper resentfully. She knew she was powerless to resist the Bai family. They only needed to control her family to make her compromise.
"A one-time payment of one hundred thousand, a house in Feicheng, and a job.
It seems I've been arranged very well. I have a house, money, and a job. But isn't a hundred thousand too little? You said you would make me live a good life forever."
Luo Xueli looked at Ye Shenge, jealousy appearing in her eyes for the first time.
"The jewelry you've given Ye Shenge adds up to hundreds of thousands, right? Why do I only get a hundred thousand?"
"Heh, you can also take all the jewelry I gave you before. It adds up to at least five hundred thousand, right? Is that enough?"
In this moment, the former couple were truly cold and heartless, each displaying their most cutting side.
"Not enough. I want half of your shares in the Bai family. That way, the annual dividends will allow me to live a wealthy life forever."
"Hahahaha, so you're greedy. You actually dare to ask for Bai family shares."
Grandpa Bai was so angry he laughed. The Bai family shares were uniformly distributed to the grandsons when they were born, as proof of their status.
Even that small portion gave each of them millions in dividends annually back then. Now, while the Bai family was still recovering its strength, these grandsons still received millions in dividends each year. Half of it would be five hundred thousand, a truly large appetite.
"Two children should be worth that price. I still think it's too little."
"You want to talk money with me using the children! Since that's the case, you can leave the Bai family empty-handed. Take the dowry your father gave you, and you can't take anything else."
Bai Chu Fan waved his hand, and two bodyguards came up. One held a red ink pad, and the other controlled Luo Xueli's hand.
"Let go of me! You're going too far! I'm still the young madam of the Bai family!"
As Luo Xueli shrieked, she was forced to press her handprint onto the severance document. Seeing the red handprint, Luo Xueli collapsed onto the ground.
"Chu Fan, go to a lawyer tomorrow to get it notarized, and then it needs to be announced in the newspaper. Otherwise, it's all for naught."
Zi Yisheng spoke up at this moment, acting as if Bai Chu Fan hadn't done enough. Ye Shenge closed her eyes, thinking that adding fuel to the fire was just like this.
Bai Chu Fan looked at his grandfather. After all, announcing it in the newspaper would expose the Bai family's scandal. He didn't have the authority to decide.
"What are you looking at? Listen to your brother-in-law. For Shuoyang and Shuobo's sake, you must sever ties with her. Otherwise, when the children grow up, this woman will still pester them, and then it will be the children's suffering."
"You're all bullies, taking advantage of the weak! I won't let you off. I'll make you infamous. Especially you, Zi Yisheng, don't think you can sit in that position so comfortably. I'll reveal everything about you."
Zi Yisheng smiled. He genuinely didn't know what he had that could be used as leverage.
"Arong, take her away."
After Zi Yisheng finished speaking, he looked at Bai Chu Fan, his smile gone.
"You heard that. I'm taking over this person now. As for her family, they're your responsibility. Don't disappoint me."
Bai Chu Fan sighed and nodded. He looked at Luo Xueli with a hint of helplessness. Why couldn't she just divorce amicably? Now that she was in Zi Yisheng's hands, things wouldn't be easy.
"What do you want to do? How will you deal with my family? They've done nothing wrong, you can't touch them."
Luo Xueli's mouth was gagged with a rag by Arong, and she was dragged away. The living room fell silent.
"Don't worry, tomorrow won't delay your divorce. In the future, when you meet a woman, open your eyes and look properly. Use your aunt and cousin as your standard. Your family's women are all outstanding, yet you haven't cultivated the right eye for women."
"Zi Yisheng, that's enough. Can you say a little less?" Ye Shenge said weakly. Was this guy trying to anger Grandpa to death, belittling his grandson so completely?
"As you command, wife. I'll shut up!"
Grandpa angrily pointed at Zi Yisheng, but couldn't utter a word. This scoundrel knew how to provoke people.
Bai Chu Fan knelt before his grandparents, his face filled with guilt.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm sorry for disappointing you. I will strive to do better in the future and will not do anything to disappoint you again."
"Chu Fan, you bear a lot of responsibility for the matter between you and Luo Xueli. You knew she didn't fit into our family, yet you insisted on marrying her. After marrying her, you didn't have the patience to teach her to integrate into the new family. Your inaction led to all of this. All of this makes me doubt if you are still capable of doing well in business."
"Grandpa, it's all my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment."
"Very well, it's commendable that you have the courage to admit your mistakes. After dealing with Luo Xueli and the Luo family, you will go to Hech eng to manage the business there. If you can't do it well, don't come back."
"Yes, I will definitely do well."
Ye Shenge was surprised that Grandpa was sending her eldest cousin to Hech eng, a place where everything had to start from scratch, and even the Bai family's factory had not been built yet.
At this moment, Aunt and her children came down. Seeing that Luo Xueli was no longer in the house, tears flowed down her cheeks. Her poor grandsons would no longer have a mother.
Little Shuoyang ran to his father, his eyes red, tugging at his sleeve.
"Dad, where's Mom?"
Bai Chu Fan hugged his son sadly. He had wronged too many people in this marriage.
"Shuoyang, Mom has gone to find her own happy life. You know she wasn't happy in the Bai family."
"Will Mom come back to see me?"
Bai Chu Fan held his son tightly. How should he answer this question? But the child would eventually know everything.
"No, your mother won't see you again. You don't have a mother anymore."
"Wow! Why don't I have a mother anymore? Even though Mom always scolded me in private, she's still my mother."
