4 Chapter IV
The Chen family sitting downstairs watched TV and chatted. The table that had been full of food was now running out, leaving only a pile of empty bowls and plates.
If Shen Lingyi's "replacement" saw this scene, it was estimated that he would be killed alive.
She would rather pour her own food down the toilet than cheapen this wolf-hearted person.
It's a pity that the "replacement" has long been missing.
Now when he opened the bedroom door and led Shen Xingran out, it was Shen Lingyi from the past.
Mother and daughter walked side by side and slowly walked down the stairs.
Hearing the footsteps, Chen's mother was the first to react, and sneered: "Heh, are you willing to come down?" What a big shelf! β
In her opinion, Shen Lingyi is dying and trying to escape the upcoming divorce.
Is this something that can be escaped?
Their Chen family doesn't need her anymore now!
There was a moment of silence in the living room.
Xie Yunqiu hugged the child, with an indifferent smile on his face, and raised his hand to comb his hair.
She also likes to listen to Chen's mother scold Shen Lingyi.
Mother Chen turned to Chen Mingyu: "Son, you quickly let Shen Lingyi sign the agreement!" Don't let her get in our way here. β
"yes, I know."
Chen Mingyu nodded.
The divorce agreement, he must sign today.
Xie Yunqiu's side couldn't wait.
He got up from the couch and walked in the direction of the stairs.
As soon as he took a step, Chen Mingyu saw Shen Lingyi's mother and daughter going downstairs, and suddenly lost his mind for a moment.
It was this moment of stunnedness, he tripped over the wires under his feet, and fell to the ground with a stumble.
In the process of falling, his foot also kicked the stool next to him.
The legs of the stool slashed across the floor with a sharp stabbing sound.
The foul sound caused everyone to stop and look at the stairs.
Then, everyone fell silent.
After a few seconds, Chen Shuang was the first to react, and stood up in disbelief: "Shen Lingyi? Is this Shen Lingyi? β
Xie Yunqiu frowned slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Facing the Chen family's gaze, Shen Xingran shrank back a little uneasily.
But she soon remembered that she and her mother were here to fight, and she must not back down!
So she straightened her small chest again and stood beside Shen Lingyi.
Shen Lingyi smiled at the Chen family: "It's me, Shen Lingyi." β
By the way, glancing at Chen Mingyu who was lying on the ground, Shen Lingyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued to walk down the stairs with a steady step, "This kind of big gift, it's too polite, let's calm down." β
Chen Mingyu: "?? β
What are these words?
He raised his head and subconsciously wanted to reprimand Shen Lingyi for a few words.
But when his eyes saw her slender figure in a red dress, his anger was like a balloon that had been punctured, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
When he got up, Chen Mingyu's eyes were still glued to Shen Lingyi.
Shen Lingyi in front of him suddenly recalled the first time he saw her.
At that time, she was also in such a red dress, surrounded by a group of business tycoons, her expression was calm, she talked and laughed, bright as the sun in the sky, and the light was dazzling, so that he didn't even dare to look directly, let alone get close.
At that time, he could never have imagined that this round of blazing sun, which he couldn't look at directly, would fall into his arms one day.
It's just that how did it come to this point again?
A blur flashed in his eyes: "Ling Yi, you ......"
Behind him, Xie Yunqiu suddenly stood up and interrupted him loudly: "Sister Shen, are you hungry, do you want to eat something?" β
Xie Yunqiu's voice made Chen Mingyu regain some of his senses, and his whole body trembled violently.
That's it...... Shen Lingyi just changed her clothes, and she couldn't change anything.
It is impossible to change anything.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to harden his heart.
Shen Xingran's gaze switched back and forth between his mother and father's faces.
She just waited to see when Mom would take off her high heels and smash them on Daddy's head.
However, the reality seemed to be different from what she imagined, Shen Lingyi had no intention of taking off her shoes at all, nor did she mean to get close to the dining table.
Shen Lingyi smiled and shook his head: "You guys are so lively, it's not appropriate to have more me." I won't eat it. β
These words were a bit choking, and even Xie Yunqiu's smile was a little stiff.
However, Shen Lingyi did not give Xie Yunqiu a chance to continue to play.
Her gaze moved to Chen Mingyu, her tone was light, and she went straight to the point: "If you want to divorce, you can do it, I have only one condition, I want to take the stars away." β
Before Chen Mingyu could speak, Chen's mother was unhappy at first, and categorically refused: "Xingxing is the daughter of the Chen family, how can you let it be taken away!" β
Chen Shuang also echoed: "Shen Lingyi, think clearly, what can you do after divorce, a housewife who has no job?" Do you raise stars well? Can you give her such superior material conditions as the Chen family? β
Shen Xingran was anxious.
She could barely understand what the adults were saying.
But she felt that her grandmother and aunt's words were wrong!
She is not the daughter of the Chen family, she is the daughter of her mother!
As for what material conditions...... She never cared about material conditions!
Shen Lingyi seemed to feel her daughter's anxiety, and stretched out her hand to touch Shen Xingran's head.
The warm touch calmed Shen Xingran.
Yes, this is my mother's battle, and my mother said that she should study hard.
So Shen Xingran stopped speaking and observed quietly.
After appeasing her daughter, Shen Lingyi looked at Chen's mother and Chen Shuang.
Her tone was still calm: "If I can take the stars with me, I am willing to leave the house." If you don't agree, then I will divide half of Chen Mingyu's marital property. β
Mother Chen was stunned for a few seconds, and then became angry: "Divide it in half? What a big breath! β
Shen Lingyi ignored Chen's mother, who was obviously legally blind, and looked directly at Chen Mingyu, who was contemplative: "Chen Mingyu, you think clearly, do you want property or daughter?" I'm not kidding you. β
Her expression is very firm, revealing a kind of "I dare to say and dare to do" temperament.
Chen Mingyu's face was covered with gloom.
That's what he's been worried about.
His company was founded after getting married, and if Shen Lingyi moved his real character, he could completely take half of the company.
As for the daughter......
Shen Xingran is a sensible and lovely child, he naturally likes it too.
But he didn't just have one daughter.
Xie Yunqiu's eyes flashed slightly, walked to Chen Mingyu's side, put his hand on his shoulder, and persuaded him in a gentle tone: "Sister Shen is the mother of the stars, and she will definitely be very good to the stars." It is also more reassuring to hand over the child to her. β
She smiled softly, as if she was really thinking about Shen Xing.
But not long ago, her words were still "I will take care of Shen Xingran as if she were her own daughter".
Shen Xingran looked at Xie Yunqiu, who had a perfect smile, and once again felt that Xie Yunqiu was very fake.
The teacher said that some people just say it nicely, don't look at what they say, but look at what they do.
Seeing that Chen Mingyu and Xie Yunqiu were shaken, Chen's mother was still a little reluctant: "How can our Chen family's species-"
Before she finished speaking, Chen Shuang grabbed her and whispered a few words in her ear.
Although he couldn't hear it clearly, Shen Lingyi could probably guess what those words were.
It's probably "Shen Lingyi has a hole in her brain and actually offers to leave the house, we must take the opportunity to agree, and we can't let her share the Chen family's property" and something like that.
Sure enough, after Chen Shuang muttered, Chen's mother rolled her eyes and stopped talking.
Chen Mingyu said hoarsely: "...... Since you want to take the stars with you, for the sake of the husband and wife of seven years, I will fulfill you. β
A righteous and awe-inspiring appearance with a lot of sacrifices.
"You don't need to leave the house, I, as the father of the star, will leave you enough money to live. I will also be responsible for the tuition and living expenses of the star. It's justβ"
He looked at Shen Lingyi with a condescending preachiness in his eyes, "Lingyi, after we divorce, you should try to find a job to support yourself." β
Without waiting for Shen Lingyi to answer, Chen Shuang next to her first snickered: "Brother, with her resume, how can she find a job, unless she goes to be a cleaner!" β
In the face of such ridicule, Shen Lingyi was not angry.
She smiled slightly, shook her head and refused Chen Mingyu's charity: "It's better for me to go out of the house, so that I can settle it clearly." β
Just saying it wasn't enough, she took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Chen Mingyu, "Just now I prepared a divorce agreement, stating that the custody of the stars belongs to me, and I will give up all the property of your Chen family, you see, if there is no problem, sign your name, and I will take the stars away." β
The Chen family was stunned again.
Chen Mingyu took the agreement, glanced at it roughly, and his face was a little ugly: "Ling Yi, you ......"
He felt that something was wrong with Shen Lingyi today.
After coming down from the upstairs, she didn't cry or leave, but offered to leave the house, and even prepared an agreement in advance?!
How does it feel like she can't wait to go?
Xie Yunqiu was also staring at the agreement, not letting go of a word.
She did see the words "custody belongs to Ms. Shen Lingyi", "Ms. Shen Lingyi voluntarily gave up all the property in Mr. Chen Mingyu's name" and so on.
Although she didn't know what medicine Shen Lingyi had taken wrong, Xie Yunqiu felt that this was a good opportunity.
This kind of door-to-door clean house agreement, if you don't sign it, you are a fool!
She remained silent, and pulled Chen Mingyu's clothes with her hand, suggesting that he should hurry up.
Chen Mingyu was still a little hesitant and didn't speak immediately.
The corners of Shen Lingyi's lips raised, and she clasped her hands in front of her chest: "I will only give you five minutes to think about it, and after five minutes, this agreement will be invalidated, and we will go through the normal divorce process, and I will have half of the property." β
She even looked up at her watch to confirm the current time.
This action made the Chen family other than Chen Mingyu start to be anxious.
Mother Chen was the first to speak: "Mingyu, since Shen Lingyi wants to leave, let's not stop it!" β
Chen Shuang nodded: "Yes, brother, we are reasonable people, if the agreement is okay, let's sign it." β
Even Xie Yunqiu opened his mouth to persuade: "Mingyu, I took a look, this agreement is no problem, since this is what Sister Shen took the initiative to request, it is better for us to fulfill her, and it can be regarded as a good gathering and dispersal." β
Shen Xingran, who was standing in front of them, did not speak, and looked at them quietly.
Mom said to let her study hard, and she kept watching it seriously.
What they say is really good, what is "reasonable", what is "easy to gather and disperse", but why do they have greed and calculation on their faces that cannot be concealed?
It's as ugly as the old witch in the cartoon who wants to poison the princess!
At this moment, Shen Xingran seems to have suddenly grown up a lot and understood a lot of things.
Mom was willing to give up all possessions as long as she could take her.
And her other family members, who keep saying that they care about her and are good for her, actually don't care about her at all.
They care more about the money than they do.
She pursed her lips, her gaze slowly slicing over the faces of her former loved ones.
Dad, Grandma, Aunt......
None of them wanted her.
It doesn't matter, she doesn't seem to want them that much.
All she needs is a mother.
Under the persuasion of others, Chen Mingyu finally signed the agreement.
Of course, before signing it, he went through the agreement several times to make sure there were no problems with it.
Once this agreement is signed and takes effect, Shen Lingyi will have nothing to do with his property.
While his heart was relieved, Chen Mingyu was still a little confused.
He didn't understand what good it would do Shen Lingyi.
She has backbone, she doesn't want a penny, so what will she rely on to survive in the future? She doesn't even have the ability to stand on her own feet!
When handing the agreement back, Chen Mingyu was rarely kind, and asked more: "Ling Yi...... Are you serious? β
Of course, Shen Lingyi was serious.
She took the agreement, confirmed that it had been signed, and nodded in satisfaction.
After carefully putting away the agreement, she took Shen Xingran and calmly said goodbye: "The agreement has been signed, so I'll leave first." As for the specific time of the divorce, I will contact you separately in the future. β
It's not enough to just sign an agreement, you need to wait until the divorce formalities are officially completed before the matter is truly over.
After saying this, Shen Lingyi turned his head and walked towards the door.
Except for carrying a small bag on her back and holding Shen Xingran in her hand, she didn't bring any extra things, as if she was just going out to pick up a courier.
Chen Mingyu looked stupid, and couldn't help but confirm: "You just left like this?" Don't even pack your luggage? β
Where are they going?
Where are they staying tonight?
Shen Lingyi didn't stop, and waved his hand in a chic manner: "I don't have any other luggage to bring." By the way, the dozens of aprons in my wardrobe that are not the same color were all given to Ms. Xie. β
Those bad things, she can't even look at them at a glance!
In the incredible gaze of the Chen family, Shen Lingyi just pulled Shen Xingran and walked out of the gate of the Chen family in a chic manner.
