Chapter 108 The day in the private room, Su Qiao'er did it on purpose.
The next morning, Mrs. Zheng and the Su Parents appeared once again at the place they met yesterday. This time, in addition to the three of them, they also brought their respective lawyers.
The two sides met without any pleasantries and went straight to the point. The lawyers reviewed the agreement. Their professional standards were quite high; they could spot any common contractual traps at a glance.
After nearly two and a half hours, the lawyers finished reading.
"The contract has no issues. It can be signed directly."
Mrs. Zheng nodded upon hearing the lawyer's words. In reality, she still felt quite unwilling at this moment.
She couldn't just watch her eldest son be thrown into Prison, so with no other choice, she signed her name on the contract.
The Su Parents were relieved to see Mrs. Zheng sign the contract, as they had been worried she might suddenly back out.
"Two billion will be transferred to your account this afternoon."
"Understood. We will also drop the appeal, and from now on, our two families will have no further dealings."
The Su Parents were eager for this; after all, the Zheng Group's reputation in the circle was completely ruined, and they were very willing to cut ties with them.
After finalizing this matter, the Su Parents left. Looking at the contract agreement, Mrs. Zheng sighed.
At the group headquarters, Zheng Jie sat in his chair. It was visibly apparent that he was somewhat exhausted; the Zheng Jie hadn't rested well the previous night. Just then, a knock at the door sounded. Zheng Jie braced himself and said, "Come in."
The next second, his secretary pushed the door open and walked in.
"Boss, we just received news that the Zheng Group and the Su Family have signed the agreement. The Su Family will pay 2 billion to the Zheng Group as compensation for the Su Chemical merger case, while the Zheng Group will cancel the appeal against the Su Family, and the Su Family will drop their lawsuit against Zheng Tian."
Once this agreement was signed, the two families basically had no interest entanglement. However, the one suffering the most in this affair was definitely Zheng Tian, as he had become a eunuch.
After staying in the Hospital for a few days, Zheng Tian was already able to get out of bed and move around. However, feeling his empty trousers, Zheng Tian felt a mix of emotions and a sense of collapse. He still couldn't accept the reality of becoming a useless person.
At this moment, he went to the bathroom and looked at his empty crotch, not knowing what he was thinking, but judging by the look in his eyes, he was filled with rage.
"Su Qiaoer, you just wait."
In Zheng Tian's view, he had become this way all because of Su Qiaoer, yet she hadn't received any punishment. This was something Zheng Tian found unacceptable.
Many things don't go the way you want them to. The law is here, and no matter how angry Zheng Tian was, there was nothing he could do.
On the other side, Su Qiaoer was quite satisfied with the outcome of this matter. The reason was simple: she didn't have to be locked up in the Detention Center or Prison. Although she paid 2 billion, compared to the initial compensation of over 4 billion, this 2 billion was very, very low.
However, just as Su Qiaoer was happy, she received another piece of news.
"According to information from my friend, it seems that Zheng Jie and Zhou Ya's relationship is about to get on the right track."
Hearing this, Su Qiaoer frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"What else could it mean? It means they're likely already together, right? Next should be a public announcement, and then considering marriage, right?"
At this moment, Su Qiaoer clenched her fists, her face looking ugly. She had no way to blame Zheng Jie for anything. Although it hadn't even been half a year since they broke up, compared to her getting a marriage certificate with Zheng Tian on the very day of her divorce, Zheng Jie waiting half a year to consider marriage was already very decent.
"Fine, I know."
When Su Qiaoer spoke, her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She had no mood to chat further with this friend, so she made up an excuse and hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Su Qiaoer gripped her phone tightly.
She really wanted to find Zheng Jie and ask if this was true. They were clearly divorced, but when she heard he was getting married again, Su Qiaoer felt some dissatisfaction. In her view, perhaps Zheng Jie should remain single for life for her to be happy.
But how could that be possible? To put it bluntly, once you divorce someone, you no longer have any relationship. The so-called 'waiting for you to turn back' is just something that happens in novels.
Su Qiaoer dialed Zheng Jie's number. Seeing the call, Zheng Jie was actually a bit surprised, as he didn't expect her to contact him at this time.
He answered.
"Is there anything?"
"I heard you are getting married, is that right?"
Hearing this, Zheng Jie crossed his legs.
"I didn't expect you to be so well-informed. It is true; I am preparing to get married."
"With Zhou Ya?"
"Yes."
"Zheng Jie, I didn't expect your taste to be so low as to choose a vase."
Zheng Jie looked disdainful upon hearing this.
"But she seems much more capable than you. At the very least, a vase wouldn't bankrupt a company and cause it to be restructured, but you managed to do that. I'm really curious, why can someone like you accuse others of being a vase? Are you that much better than a vase?"
Zheng Jie knew exactly how to make Su Qiaoer break down. His words were like knives stabbing straight into her heart. Sure enough, Su Qiaoer's expression turned ugly upon hearing this. This matter was a lifelong regret for her.
Because in Su Qiaoer's view, if it weren't for her choices back then, the Su Group would likely have its market value multiplied several times over with the help of the Zheng Group's projects.
"As for my taste, after breaking up with you, no matter who I choose, it will be much, much better than you. Besides, I didn't expect the Zheng Family to compromise. If it were me, I would have let you rot in Prison until you died."
Su Qiaoer clenched her fists. The scene from that day surfaced in her mind bit by bit. Su Qiaoer had to admit that she could have stabbed somewhere else. During those few seconds of pause, she had thought of that, but why did she end up attacking that specific part? It was because she wanted him to pay the price.
So, strictly speaking, Su Qiaoer's actions weren't self-defense, nor were they excessive defense; it was intentional injury.
"I have nothing else to say. I'm hanging up, as I'm quite busy here."
After saying this, Zheng Jie hung up the phone directly. Looking at the disconnected call, Su Qiaoer sighed helplessly.
