Chapter 2: A Frustrated Mind – Did Zheng Jie Just Agree to a Divorce Like That?

The Zheng Parents were deceived by Zheng Jie's acting.

In their eyes, their second son loved Su Qiaoer to the bone. The reason he asked for 10% of the shares at this time was that he felt the family wouldn't agree to this condition, so he could use this as an excuse to refuse the divorce no matter what.

The Zheng Parents looked at each other. Being married for so many years made them highly in sync; a single glance was enough to understand what the other meant. After a long while, Father Zheng spoke up.

"Zheng Jie, if Mom and Dad agree to give you 10% of the Su Group's shares, will you agree to the divorce?"

When he heard this, Zheng Jie knew his plan had succeeded.

In real life, this plan would be impossible to succeed.

After all, compared to shares worth 100 billion, a woman is surely less important than shares worth 100 billion. But this was a female-oriented novel, and the heartthrob female lead was definitely more important than 100 billion, which allowed Zheng Jie's plan to proceed smoothly.

Otherwise, Zheng Jie would probably have had to put in more effort.

"Yes."

Zheng Jie nodded.

"Fine, Mom and Dad agree to give you 10% of the shares, but you must divorce Su Qiaoer."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie's face was filled with disbelief.

It seemed he hadn't expected them to agree.

When they saw the expression on their son's face, the two sighed.

They felt some guilt in their hearts toward their second son.

But thinking back to how their eldest son had told them that day that he would marry no one but Su Qiaoer, the two felt that they were once again wronging Zheng Jie.

Moreover, 10% of the shares was not a small amount.

"Mom, Dad, you..."

"Zheng Jie, don't forget, you already promised Mom and Dad just now, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Zheng Jie sat in the chair, his face full of dejection.

"Mom, Dad, why doesn't Su Qiaoer like me..."

Zheng Jie's acting continued. Hearing this, the Zheng Parents sighed. At this moment, they showed a rare tenderness.

"Child, matters of the heart are fated. Sometimes what is yours is yours, and what isn't, you can't force. Alright, son, sign the papers."

It seemed that by the time Zheng Jie arrived, the couple had already prepared the contracts.

One was a divorce agreement.

And the other was a share transfer agreement.

When he saw this share transfer agreement, Zheng Jie's heart was pounding wildly.

He tremblingly picked up the divorce agreement.

On this divorce agreement, Su Qiaoer had already signed her name. As expected, the lethality of a "white moonlight" was truly great; five years of mutual support were simply vulnerable. However, the property division in this divorce agreement was acceptable. Apart from pre-marital assets and the Su Group shares under Su Qiaoer's name, he didn't want anything else.

Therefore, Zheng Jie did not hesitate and signed his name directly on the divorce agreement.

When they saw Zheng Jie sign his name, the Zheng Parents breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps because they were worried that Zheng Jie would regret it later and tear up the agreement, the Zheng Parents quickly put away the divorce agreement. Watching this scene, Zheng Jie really wanted to laugh out loud.

Just how much did they think he loved Su Qiaoer?

Immediately after, Zheng Jie looked at the share transfer agreement in his hand. After confirming there were no major issues, Zheng Jie signed the share transfer agreement.

"Zheng Jie, since you've already signed the divorce agreement, why don't you and Su Qiaoer go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow? Isn't there a divorce cooling-off period now... After the divorce, you can also quickly arrange..."

Just as she was about to say the word "wedding," Mother Zheng suddenly realized something and quickly stopped. Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.

"I know..."

After saying this, Zheng Jie slowly stood up from the sofa.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Leaving behind this final sentence, Zheng Jie took the share transfer agreement in his hand and left the Villa. Watching the back of Zheng Jie as he left, the Zheng Parents looked at each other.

"What if Zheng Jie regrets it?"

"Rest assured, the divorce agreement has already been signed, how could he regret it? Don't worry, tell Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer that they can start preparing for the wedding."

"Fine, this time we must definitely hold a proper wedding. After all, when the two children were originally... sigh, but regardless, it can be considered a reunion of a broken mirror. Look, this is the wedding style Su Qiaoer sent over; I think it's quite good."

"Really? Let me take a look..."

The two sat together, discussing the wedding style. When Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer were married, the wedding was really very ordinary, and no one cared at all. Compared to the treatment of Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer's wedding now, it was truly like heaven and earth.

After leaving the Su Family Villa, Zheng Jie looked at the share transfer agreement in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

10% of the shares were in his hands.

If he added the other shares he secretly controlled, that would be over 50%. It is well known that when you have over 50% of the shares in a company, you can form absolute control over it. This was why Zheng Jie had to obtain this 10%; because only by obtaining this 10% could Zheng Jie logically take over the entire company, replace the group chairman, and make himself the group chairman...

Trading a woman for the chairman position of a company with a market value of one trillion—Zheng Jie did not think this was a bad decision, especially since he didn't even like this woman.

The only flaw was that, perhaps worrying that Zheng Jie would not be willing to divorce, the share transfer agreement explicitly stated that the contract would only officially take effect after Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer received their divorce certificate.

In other words, in this world, the person who might want Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer to separate the most was not Zheng Tian, nor the Zheng Parents, but Zheng Jie himself.

After all, only after the divorce could he obtain this 10% of the shares.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jie dialed a number.

"It's me, see you at the old place."

"Understood."

After ending the call, Zheng Jie rubbed his slightly sore eyes.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Qiaoer was in her office at the Su Group when her phone suddenly rang. Hearing the sound, Su Qiaoer subconsciously looked at her phone screen; it was a call from Zheng Tian. When she saw the contact name, a gentle smile appeared on Su Qiaoer's tired face, a smile that Zheng Jie rarely saw on her.

The difference between loving and not loving really seemed to be quite large.

Even though the other party had run away from the wedding back then, as long as he returned, Su Qiaoer could forgive him, and could even abandon the person who had accompanied her for five years for the sake of the person who had abandoned her.

She answered the phone.

"Hello."

Su Qiaoer's tone was filled with tenderness.

"Su Qiaoer, my parents just called me and said that Zheng Jie has already signed the divorce agreement. We can go get the divorce certificate tomorrow, and we can get married."

Zheng Tian's tone was full of happiness.

He had originally thought that Zheng Jie would not be willing to divorce, but he hadn't expected Zheng Jie to be so sensible and agree to the divorce so smoothly. Otherwise, Zheng Tian was still thinking about whether the tricks he had prepared would all need to be used on Zheng Jie.

However, now seeing how sensible Zheng Jie was being, Zheng Tian decided he didn't need to use them on Zheng Jie for now. But Zheng Tian didn't know that this time, the family had given Zheng Jie 10% of the shares. If he knew, Zheng Tian wouldn't be able to laugh, and if he also knew that Zheng Jie held over 50% of the shares, he would probably collapse.

But apart from Zheng Jie himself and a few main direct descendants, no one else knew about Zheng Jie's plan.

Hearing Zheng Tian's words, Su Qiaoer was slightly stunned.

"So smooth?"

"Yes..."

At this moment, Su Qiaoer couldn't describe her feelings. She had originally thought that Zheng Jie wouldn't agree, but she hadn't expected the other party to agree so quickly, which made her feel a bit angry.

That's right, angry.

"What's wrong, Su Qiaoer? Your tone sounds a bit off."

"It's nothing, maybe it's just because I'm too tired from handling company matters."

"Hmm, then you go get the divorce certificate with Zheng Jie tomorrow, okay?"

"Fine..."

Su Qiaoer nodded.

After ending the call, Su Qiaoer sat in her chair, feeling some inexplicable annoyance in her heart. She took out her phone and found Zheng Jie's number; the contact name for Zheng Jie on her phone was "Husband."

When she saw this name, Su Qiaoer hesitated for a moment, but still dialed the number.

In the car, Zheng Jie saw the call from Su Qiaoer.

He answered.

After connecting, Zheng Jie did not speak, and Su Qiaoer didn't know what she should say. Both sides tacitly remained silent. After a long while, Su Qiaoer spoke up.

"You agreed..."

"Hmm... You also agreed, didn't you?"

Zheng Jie's tone was calm.

"Tonight, I will return to the Villa to pack my things."

According to that divorce agreement, the 2,000-square-meter Villa that Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer were currently living in would belong to Zheng Jie.

This was also the place where the two had lived after they got married.

"Okay."

She had originally thought that Zheng Jie would say some very unpleasant, hysterical words, but Su Qiaoer didn't expect the other party's answer to be just a calm "Okay," which gave her the feeling of punching cotton.

"Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow."

"Fine, I will go. Let's go in the morning; I have time in the morning."

This time, Zheng Jie said a little more, but these words made Su Qiaoer feel as if her breath was stifled in her heart.

"Do you have nothing you want to say to me?"

After a long while, Su Qiaoer really couldn't help it and asked this question.

"No..."

"The beginning between us was just a mistake to begin with."

"And now it's just turning the mistake into something right, isn't it?"

These words made Su Qiaoer silent.

After a long while, Su Qiaoer sighed.

"Yes."

"If there is nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Su Qiaoer looked at the phone in her hand, feeling an urge to throw it on the ground. Su Qiaoer didn't know what was wrong with her; everything was going according to her plan, but why... was she feeling so uncomfortable inside?

Especially when thinking about Zheng Jie's attitude toward her just now... it made her even more displeased.

Meanwhile, after Zheng Jie hung up the phone, he had just arrived at his destination.

This was a private restaurant. Pushing open the door to the private room that had been booked in advance, there was a man in his early thirties wearing a suit waiting for him there.
