Chapter 29: The Divorce (3)
Chapter 29 – The Divorce (3)
To avoid dragging it out any longer, they went to finish up the paper work on transferring all the assets that afternoon. Shu Jianyang had someone he was familiar with to help out and everything went smoothly. The entire process took a little over one hour. When Ye Zhiqiang walked away, Shu Yan had an extra $300,000 in her account.
Shu Yan was very glad that she was in the 90s. If this was 2019, she would never be able to get Ye Zhiqiang to walk out penniless. If he has thicker skin, she wouldn’t even be able to threaten him.
When Li Jiaojiao saw Ye Zhiqiang’s dark look, she was a little intimidated and asked in a soft voice, “What’s the matter, hubby?”
“Nothing much. I am getting my divorce tomorrow. Are you happy?” Ye Zhiqiang asked as he wrapped his arm around her and smiled.
“She finally agreed to getting a divorce?” Li Jiaojiao’s eyes beamed. She rubbed her tummy subconsciously and asked tenderly, “She didn’t threaten you some more?”
Ye Zhiqiang’s face dropped and he said, “She wanted all the houses and cars.”
“She is out of her mind!” Li Jiaojiao shrieked.
“What can do we?” Ye Zhiqiang sighed. “It won’t be good for us to go to court either.” Ye Zhiqiang decided against telling Li Jiaojiao the truth.
The next day, Shu Yan had another house under her name. Shu Yan let out a sigh of relief. This was her first victory since her transmigration.
On their way back, Shu Yan handed over the car and the car key. She had directly put it under his name when they were transferring the title the day before. He just needed to finish up the paperwork.
“What do you do that for?”
“Third Brother, let me finish before you decline, okay? I trust that you have an idea what kind of person Ye Zhiqiang is. I am sure he will look for revenge after this incident. And you know how my family is as well. Once they found out that there’s money on me, they’d never leave me alone. My plan is to sell all the properties, move to a new city, and start over with my children. I can’t drive and it’s a waste to let it go to waste. Third Brother can be nice and drive it for me from time to time so it won’t rust.” If it wasn’t for Shu Jianyang’s help, she wouldn’t be able to get anything from Ye Zhiqiang.
“What are you talking about? This car is in great condition and it’s worth at least ten of thousands. This is too expensive of a gift. I can’t accept it.”
“It belonged to Ye Zhiqiang. What’s the problem with taking it?” Shu Yan shoved the key into his hand and wouldn’t take no for an answer.
Losing that battle with Shu Yan, Shu Jianyang finally accepted the car.
Truth be told, Shu Yan liked the houses a lot. All she needed to do was to leave them there and their value would grow exponentially in the next few years, way better than any investments that she could get into. Unfortunately, she got these from Ye Zhiqiang, there were too many strings attached.
She must sever all ties with him, so it’s best to sell them all. Honestly, all house prices were really low in the country right now. Once she settled down in a new city, she could randomly buy some houses and they’d still go up in value steadily in the next 10 to 20 years.
