Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Divorce
No one expected it.
Wei Shufen and An Cheng got divorced.
An Cheng himself didn’t expect it.
That night, Wei Shufen handed him the divorce agreement, and An Cheng thought Wei Shufen was crazy.
After so many years of marriage, how could they divorce just like that?
An Cheng’s remark of ’nonsense’ was not enough to deter Wei Shufen.
Wei Shufen coldly told An Cheng, either transfer Ding Min to Capital TV Station.
Or get a divorce; she would live with her niece and sister.
This was not a dream.
An Cheng gives in to gentleness but not to hardness, and so, he signed!
Trying to threaten him with toughness.
Made the wrong move.
Wei Shufen resorted to this decision almost in a moment of extreme anger and frustration.
But she never expected that An Cheng would not even say a word to keep her; over twenty years of marriage meant less than a job.
She was completely disappointed.
Looking at the flamboyant signature.
She just didn’t understand.
How An Cheng’s mind worked.
Why do the stepmothers in the TV series live so well, isn’t it said when there’s a stepmother, there’s also a stepfather?
Isn’t it said men value their women?
Why did she end up like this!
She couldn’t figure it out until the end.
She just wanted a formality.
Just wanted some security.
An Cheng actually told her no when he meant no.
In her heart, An Cheng was a scumbag.
The man in her heart should have yielded a bit for her.
After all, it was just Ding Min who made a mistake.
No one died, nor did succeed; now they have to bear this consequence.
She just couldn’t understand.
How do others become stepmothers anyway!
Anyway, Wei Shufen got divorced at forty-six.
Luckily, An Cheng gave her a property, it was An Cheng’s private house, not big, just two bedrooms and one living room, while the house he lives in now is a state property, a privilege of his military position, having nothing to do with Wei Shufen financially.
An Cheng probably considered that Wei Shufen had it tough these years, so he gave her all their savings.
As a sort of compensation to Wei Shufen.
So Wei Shufen moved into the house alone.
Along with her came Ding Min and her sister Wei Shuxia.
Wei Shuxia, not the main culprit in the past incident, was lightly sentenced, performed well inside the prison, and had several sentence reductions.
Was released early.
The Ding Family had long lost even their house, now Ding Min herself was staying in a dormitory, let alone bring a mother along.
So Wei Shufen rented a small bungalow outside, barely managing to live.
Now seeing Wei Shufen had a house, she quickly packed her bags and followed.
Looking at the two-bedroom house, Wei Shuxia was somewhat discontent.
"Sis, you really divorced him? Isn’t that letting An Cheng off easy! He is a big leader, and he only gave you such a small house? It’s too much! We should go find his superiors." She tossed her bag onto the bed.
She thought that after the divorce, An Cheng would give Wei Shufen a big house.
So she too could have a share of the good life.
Now, it’s clear that’s not happening.
This house isn’t big at all.
Wei Shufen was in a bad mood, still troubled.
Her sister came to poke at her sore spot now.
"Stay if you want, if not, go back to where you came from. An Cheng’s big house, car, those are all state property, do you think I can just take them easily? Not afraid of being burned." Wei Shufen said, covering her nose with a hand, dissatisfied.
The house hadn’t been inhabited for a long time.
It was dusty everywhere.
There was no maid now to help clean it up.
Wei Shufen’s current salary couldn’t afford a maid.
Only eight hundred bucks a month.
Food and drink were no problem.
She lived better than ordinary people.
But hiring a maid, four hundred a month, and the rest would be too tight to manage.
Wei Shufen had never endured such hardship.
Being with An Cheng, she climbed up from the grassroots to not touch spring water with her fingers; now suddenly she fell from her past life to dirt, Wei Shufen felt uncomfortable inside.
She truly hadn’t expected An Cheng to be so ruthless!
Willing to divorce her over a job.
The initial threat seemed to backfire on herself.
She really regretted it.
But she wouldn’t say it aloud.
Seeing the mess everywhere, Wei Shufen really regretted it to death.
"Xiaomin, tidy up with your mom; otherwise, we can’t live."
Wei Shufen exhaustedly instructed Ding Min.
Ding Min frowned.
She had to clean!
But thinking she needed this aunt to get her a different job, avoiding going to some backwater place, she had to bear it.
Besides, her own mother needed a place to stay too.
So the two of them got motivated.
They cleaned up efficiently.
In no time, the place was tidied up, and they settled in.
Wei Shufen arranged to meet an old classmate.
To connect her to someone who could get Ding Min a job.
The contact was a well-known Taiwanese businessman, a wealthy man interested in investing in a private TV station, though not in the mainland.
If Ding Min went, and became a host or something.
The treatment would be a world apart from the Capital.
At the meeting, Wei Shufen found that Feng Zhihang was a seventy-year-old who appeared sprightly, with hair like a young person’s and a robust physique, unlike an old man.
Feng Zhihang was deeply impressed by the intellectual and elegant Wei Shufen before him.
"Ms. Wei, I didn’t expect you to be so elegant. If you allow! Let’s have a meal together and discuss Ding Min’s specific situation."
"You’re delightful, if you don’t mind, just call me Wei Shufen."
Wei Shufen with some self-mockery.
Someone still appreciated her.
"Alright, Shufen, feel free to mention anything you need help with, I will certainly assist."
Wei Shufen hesitated for a moment, then spoke about Ding Min’s situation.
"Shufen, yesterday when I was dining with Mr. Wei, what the An Family wants to do is certainly achievable. Although I haven’t dealt with him, I suppose he’s not an easy one. If he wants to suppress someone, it wouldn’t be a problem.
However, I will think of a way; if Ding Min goes to Taiwan, it might be a chance for her.
Rest assured! Since she’s your niece, I will do my best to help her and ensure she doesn’t suffer."
Hearing this, Wei Shufen felt a bit relieved, and just as she was about to express gratitude, she suddenly realized that Feng Zhihang was holding her hand.
She was startled.
Feng Zhihang noticed she discreetly withdrew her hand without showing displeasure, just slightly raised his eyebrows and added: "If you have anything later, just come to the company to find me. I have a villa here, you’re also welcome to come to my home."
Wei Shufen neither agreed nor refused, folding her hands in her lap, she stood up to leave.
"I have some matters to deal with, so I’ll bid farewell first."
Feng Zhihang watched the graceful figure of Wei Shufen leaving, his eyes deep.
