74: Divorce nearly got beaten, the feeling of being protected and relied on [10,000 words

Chapter 74: Narrowly Escaping a Beating During Divorce, The Sense of Reliance from Being Protected [10,000 Characters]

Zhao Manman was almost 43 years old, and her birthday was very soon. She was divorced.

She had no children by her side, and no one to accompany her.

Li Zhiyan could actually imagine what her future days would be like.

If she could go to Magic City, then he could visit her often.

And Ting, Meng Ting…

They could all visit her often.

In Magic City, she wouldn't be so lonely after all.

Zhao Manman seemed somewhat moved…

Going to Magic City did indeed seem like a good choice. She no longer wanted to stay in Zhe Jiang, a place that had broken her heart.

“Give Mom some time to consider, okay, Xiao Yan.”

Listening to Zhao Manman’s reply, Li Zhiyan didn’t press further.

Indeed, many things require time to digest.

Just like the matter between him and Ji Zhiting.

It was just postponed a little.

However…

He could also confirm his relationship with Ji Zhiting now.

“I’ll call Ji Yunhai first.”

Zhao Manman didn’t want to drag it out anymore…

Once she made it clear to him, she would just go home and handle the divorce procedures directly.

Thinking of how she had been dead drunk last night.

Zhao Manman’s resolve firmed.

Everything was just like a fleeting dream…

Li Zhiyan watched Zhao Manman about to call Ji Yunhai.

He didn’t stop her. It was indeed appropriate to inform Ji Yunhai in advance now.

He wasn’t afraid of him transferring assets at all.

What he needed to consider now was sending him to prison for a few years.

Li Zhiyan could tolerate other things, but Ji Yunhai’s actions in transferring assets were absolutely ruthless.

He left no room for maneuver.

Ji Zhiting looked at the two people on the other side, and she knew in her heart.

Mom was probably discussing the divorce with Dad.

This… seemed to be only right. She still felt particularly disappointed in Ji Yunhai.

It was actually best to say this matter sooner.

“But, Mom, don’t mention the asset transfer.”

“Just talk about the divorce. That’s enough.”

“Don’t bring up the asset transfer yet.”

“I’ve asked, the illegally transferred portion will be fully awarded to you in the later divorce settlement.”

“And the more assets he transfers, the more beneficial it will be for you.”

“Because the transferred assets will be 100% awarded to you.”

Li Zhiyan had all the evidence of the asset transfer.

So he wasn’t worried about losing any assets at all.

“Let him transfer more. If the circumstances are severe, he can truly be ordered to leave with nothing.”

Zhao Manman nodded.

If there hadn’t been the asset transfer, the years of kinship would still be there.

She had also planned to part ways amicably with Ji Yunhai.

But since he had been so cruel to her, she had no reason to consider him anymore.

…

“Hello.”

The call connected quickly, and on the other end of the line.

Ji Yunhai was currently enjoying family time.

Being with his son still felt blissful.

Next, he just had to wait until all the assets were transferred, and then he would properly cultivate his son into a successful entrepreneur.

After answering the call, Ji Yunhai walked towards the balcony.

And Liu Lanxia followed him.

Then, Zhao Manman’s next sentence left him a bit bewildered.

“Ji Yunhai, let’s get a divorce.”

Li Zhiyan inexplicably felt that this sentence sounded a bit familiar.

However…

The reasons were completely different.

At this moment, Ji Yunhai never expected Zhao Manman to suddenly bring up divorce with him.

For so many years, even though he wasn’t a normal person.

He had always been clear that Zhao Manman adhered to morals.

She was a very good wife.

But today, Zhao Manman actually said she wanted to divorce him?

For a moment…

A sense of loss and disparity filled his heart.

Could it be that Zhao Manman had some kind of possibility?

“Wife, what kind of joke is this?”

“We’ve been together for so many years, an old married couple, why talk about divorce?”

Zhao Manman said calmly: “I’m tired of it.”

“This kind of life is unchanging, I can’t stand it anymore.”

“When I return to Zhe Jiang, we’ll go through the divorce procedures. I’ve already decided on this matter.”

Ji Yunhai also completely realized it.

Zhao Manman was serious. He understood Zhao Manman’s personality.

She was very strong, wouldn’t speak casually, and basically, what she said, she would do.

Since she decided to divorce him like this.

It could be said that there was basically no room for discussion.

Ji Yunhai had already planned for divorce a long time ago; it was an inevitable matter.

But Ji Yunhai hadn’t thought of divorcing now.

After all, he was currently transferring assets, and that still required some time.

If he were to divide the assets now, his money would fall into someone else’s hands.

If all his current assets were converted into cash.

It would be roughly three hundred million.

To give one hundred and fifty million of three hundred million to three outsiders, the thought made Ji Yunhai’s heart ache unbearably.

“What’s wrong, wife, why suddenly bring up divorce?”

“Although I don’t know what happened, you should calm down.”

“Let’s talk things over properly first.”

“Even if there’s really a problem, let’s discuss the divorce later.”

“I hope we can have some time to calm down.”

In Ji Yunhai’s voice.

There was a hint of pleading, but Zhao Manman heard it; this wasn’t pleading for their relationship.

Rather, it was pleading for the assets he wanted to transfer.

He didn’t want the money to be divided between himself and his daughters.

“I don’t want to calm down anymore… When I get home, let’s prepare for the divorce.”

“If you don’t divorce, I’ll file for divorce.”

Then, she hung up the phone.

Li Zhiyan looked at the decisive and efficient Zhao Manman, and only then did he believe.

This woman was truly his resolute mother-in-law.

She was completely different from her yesterday evening.

“In that case, he’ll get anxious very quickly and speed up the asset transfer.”

“Basically, we can make him leave with nothing.”

…

Meanwhile, in Yu Hang, Ji Yunhai’s mood was at its worst.

What happened?

Why did Zhao Manman suddenly say she wanted a divorce?

“What on earth is going on…?”

“She suddenly told me she wanted a divorce.”

Liu Lanxia, who was beside him, was also a bit anxious at this moment.

“If they divorce so quickly, most of the assets haven’t been transferred out yet.”

“Wouldn’t she take half? That won’t do, this is all your son’s money.”

Ji Yunhai lit a cigarette, and after inhaling, he calmed down considerably.

“Don’t worry…”

“The assets are still ours.”

“It’s just that we need to speed up the transfer.”

“Let’s make a big transfer in the next few days. She’s currently playing with the children in Suzhou.”

“By the time she returns from Suzhou, most of the assets will have been transferred.”

“Moreover, I can stall for time with her, negotiate first.”

“Until she files for divorce.”

“It takes at least three months for a divorce lawsuit to be processed.”

“Adding the current time, it’s enough for us to make her leave with nothing.”

“That woman.”

At this moment, Ji Yunhai’s tone when mentioning Zhao Manman already carried a hint of hatred.

This time, it could be said that his plan was completely disrupted.

“That’s good then…”

Liu Lanxia didn’t care about anything else; all she wanted was to get more money out.

As for other things, they had nothing to do with her.

“In that case, divorce doesn’t matter.”

“As long as the money can be taken out, it doesn’t matter what happens to her.”

“You say, why did she suddenly think of divorcing? Did she find out about us?”

Ji Yunhai murmured: “Impossible, right…?”

“Could it be.”

Suddenly, he thought of a fatal problem.

His affairs were not without flaws; one person had always known about his situation.

That was Li Zhiyan…

Last time, he had talked to Li Zhiyan and even offered him a million for his silence.

But he had refused, and at that time, he still thought.

He understood him, after all, he was also a man.

That’s why he would help him keep the secret.

But now that he thought about it, he never intended to keep it a secret for him.

Instead, he planned to find a time to inform them later.

“Li Zhiyan…”

At this moment, Ji Yunhai was gnashing his teeth a bit.

He never expected that the inconspicuous Li Zhiyan would ruin his plans at such a time.

If his plan was affected, it must be inseparable from him.

Slowly, Ji Yunhai also completely understood what was going on.

Li Zhiyan, Ji Zhiting, and Zhao Manman went to Suzhou together.

And Zhao Manman brought up the divorce with him in Suzhou.

It must be because Li Zhiyan informed her.

There was absolutely no other possibility.

Moreover, there was another possibility.

They… Ji Yunhai didn’t dare to think further.

“Alright, Old Ji, don’t be afraid.”

“It’s just a divorce, isn’t it? Let’s transfer the assets out first, that’s the main thing. Anyway, it’s an active divorce.”

“We still have the advantage.”

Ji Yunhai took a deep breath and didn’t think further.

“Alright then, the asset transfer needs to be expedited.”

“No matter what, I can’t let those few benefit from it.”

“And Li Zhiyan, I can’t let him get any of my assets.”

Ji Yunhai knew that if Zhao Manman got the money, in the future, it would definitely be half for each of the two daughters.

Letting an outsider like Li Zhiyan get the money was what he could tolerate the least.

…

“Alright, I’ve told him.”

Zhao Manman returned to her former noble and elegant demeanor.

It seemed as if she was talking about an insignificant trifle.

Li Zhiyan guessed: “I think he must have panicked after hearing your words, and is probably busy transferring assets now.”

“This is exactly what we need to see.”

Zhao Manman smiled gently, looking exceptionally beautiful.

“Actually, I don’t care about money.”

“For so many years, I haven’t really managed money.”

“Money, in my heart, is far less important than family.”

“It’s just that I never expected.”

“Ji Yunhai would be so heartless towards me.”

Li Zhiyan knew that Zhao Manman indeed valued family more than money in her heart.

It was a pity; she had originally wanted to spend her life with Ji Yunhai.

But in the end, she ended up like this.

If it weren’t for him, Li Zhiyan couldn’t even imagine.

What Zhao Manman’s future outcome would be.

“Don’t worry, Mom, he will eventually pay the price for what he’s done.”

“I’ll accompany you when you divorce.”

Zhao Manman did not agree to Li Zhiyan.

She was still afraid of being seen in a disheveled state by her children.

Divorce was not a good thing.

What she would face next was inevitably Ji Yunhai’s true colors.

“Let’s forget about this matter for now. You have to believe that Mom can handle this.”

Li Zhiyan didn’t know what to say.

However, he also couldn’t let Zhao Manman face Ji Yunhai alone.

Ji Yunhai only looked refined.

But in reality, he was definitely a very ruthless person.

At a time of such vested interests, Li Zhiyan dared not let Zhao Manman return alone.

“I can’t agree to that. Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

Zhao Manman rarely saw Li Zhiyan disobey her.

At this moment, she felt that this matter might be unavoidable with Li Zhiyan.

“Moreover, I can actually help you, you forgot.”

Zhao Manman remembered Li Zhiyan’s relationship with Su Jinan.

Indeed, she subconsciously always treated Li Zhiyan as an ordinary child.

But the actual situation was not like that; Li Zhiyan was definitely not as simple as she imagined.

He could indeed help her with this matter.

“Alright then, we’ll discuss it when the time comes.”

…

On the other side.

Ji Zhiting was talking about Li Zhiyan with Zhou Mengmeng.

“Ting, do you think Yan Ge can be a faithful person?”

Ji Zhiting looked at the distant scenery but dared not answer the question casually.

“I don’t know, but I’ll try my best to make him faithful to me.”

Hearing this, Zhou Mengmeng felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She had always thought Ji Zhiting liked Li Zhiyan.

Now that it came from Ji Zhiting’s mouth, it truly made her feel powerless.

Ji Zhiting was a rich girl, beautiful.

Her bust was comparable to hers, and she was 3CM taller than her.

In terms of looks, she had no advantage over her.

If she liked Li Zhiyan, what could she compete with her with?

“Are you and Yan Ge together?”

Listening to Zhou Mengmeng’s question, Ji Zhiting also secretly glanced at Li Zhiyan not far away.

“No…”

“Being together isn’t that easy.”

“I confessed to him before coming here.”

Zhou Mengmeng’s expression became very unnatural.

She had confessed to him before, but she couldn’t be with him.

“Did he agree?”

“No… but he didn’t refuse either. Before leaving Suzhou this time, he will give me an answer.”

Zhou Mengmeng didn’t ask further.

But there was a stinging feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, Li Zhiyan’s words back then meant he couldn’t let go of Ji Zhiting.

What should she do? The most correct method for her was to never contact Li Zhiyan again.

But, it really hurt so much…

…

In the evening, the four returned to the hotel.

They had a relatively simple dinner.

Li Zhiyan ordered the hotel's recommended cream puffs, and they tasted quite good.

"Xiao Yan, you two go ahead and eat. I'm a bit tired and need to get some good rest."

Li Zhiyan knew that Zhao Manman had indeed been very exhausted lately.

It was indeed a good opportunity for her to get some proper rest.

"Then you go rest first."

Zhao Manman hummed in acknowledgment, left the dining room, and went back to her room to sleep.

Zhou Mengmeng also timidly said goodbye.

Her mood had been particularly low all day.

"What about Mom's situation...?"

Ji Zhiting asked softly, naturally very concerned about the matter.

"She..."

"We already talked about divorce today. I estimate your dad is transferring assets now."

"We'll know the situation when we get back, but you don't need to worry about any of this."

"No matter what, it won't affect your life."

"I'll protect you."

Li Zhiyan patted Ji Zhiting's bun.

His eyes were still full of doting affection; this girl was truly developing better and better.

Her future was promising.

"Mm, I know. Anyway, I won't let you shake me off this lifetime."

"Don't forget our agreement."

...

Time passed quickly.

During this National Day holiday, Li Zhiyan and the three others visited many places.

They changed hotels in each place, and sometimes rooms were tight.

He also returned to the past and seized a slightly larger market trend.

He expanded his savings to 170 million.

His confidence also reached its peak.

He exuded a particularly strong attractiveness.

October 6th arrived in a blink.

This year, National Day officially ended and work resumed on October 7th.

So, the wave of people returning to big cities had already begun yesterday.

"Mom, we can go back today."

The four walked through an ancient town, where everywhere was the desolation after a brief period of prosperity.

Pedestrians were much scarcer.

Zhao Manman's condition was still quite good.

With three children by her side during this time, enjoying the scenery, that matter seemed to have been completely forgotten.

And she had also completely erased the memory of being drunk.

Everything would have a new beginning.

Li Zhiyan looked at the small bridge and flowing water in the distance and said, "I'll send you all back to Magic City first today."

"Mom, wait for me; I'll be in Zhejiang very soon."

"Before that, don't do anything."

Zhao Manman also knew that Li Zhiyan was bound to handle this matter with her.

She could indeed let him help her.

"Alright then..."

"Xiao Yan, Mom will wait for you at home."

Seeing that Li Zhiyan had already arranged their return.

Ji Zhiting took Li Zhiyan's hand.

"Let's go for a walk over there!"

"I have something to tell you."

She didn't care about anything else, pulling Li Zhiyan and walking towards the other side of the bridge.

Zhao Manman knew that Ji Zhiting and Li Zhiyan had a good relationship.

So she didn't pay much attention.

"Mengmeng, let's go for a walk this way."

Zhou Mengmeng followed Zhao Manman somewhat distractedly, thinking Li Zhiyan was about to give Ji Zhiting an answer.

She wondered what kind of answer he would give Ji Zhiting...

Zhou Mengmeng didn't dare to think deeply.

...

There were many small flowers Li Zhiyan didn't recognize by the roadside.

They looked particularly beautiful in this ancient town.

"What about the thing we talked about earlier? Have you thought about it?"

Ji Zhiting's pretty face was a little flushed at this moment.

It was still a bit embarrassing to bring up this topic with Li Zhiyan herself.

"Let's be together."

Li Zhiyan's answer was very direct this time. Regarding Ji Yunhai's matter, he had already said it.

There were no obstacles now...

Of course, Li Zhiyan didn't say the same things he said to Zhou Mengmeng.

At that time, he had his own plans in mind. If he didn't tell Zhou Mengmeng the truth, she might commit suicide if she found out she was deceived.

Li Zhiyan couldn't do something like that.

Moreover, if he got together with Ji Zhiting, Zhou Mengmeng would definitely know.

That's why he had to tell her in advance...

As for Ji Zhiting, there was no need to tell her at all.

If Zhou Mengmeng agreed to his arrangement.

She definitely wouldn't tell Ji Zhiting about him and her.

And if he later got together with Wu Yuexian...

She definitely wouldn't tell either...

And...

Anyway, it definitely wouldn't be exposed.

Listening to Li Zhiyan's answer, Ji Zhiting's pretty face visibly turned crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Zhiyan had really agreed to this matter.

He was with her now, which meant she would be his girlfriend from now on.

They could openly be together.

Do many things.

They could kiss, hug.

They could...

There would be no more restraints, and instantly, Ji Zhiting's heart was filled with countless hopes for the future.

"However, this matter cannot be revealed for now."

"Our relationship needs to be a secret."

Ji Zhiting felt a little confused.

"I don't want to keep it a secret. I want to date you openly."

Li Zhiyan patted Ji Zhiting's bun.

It was indeed not as easy to grab as pigtails.

"You know, your sister and I haven't been divorced for long."

"If your mom found out about this, she would definitely be very sad, after all, Meng Ting is also her daughter."

"She's going through changes right now."

"So, how about we make it public after this matter passes?"

Ji Zhiting nodded very seriously.

"Sorry... I didn't think that much. Then this matter won't be made public for now."

"However, after we get to Magic City, we'll just be ourselves."

Li Zhiyan glanced at Zhao Manman and Zhou Mengmeng in the distance, who weren't paying attention to them.

He lightly kissed Ji Zhiting's face.

"Okay, Xiao Ting Bao, let's go. We need to send you back to school soon."

When they were dating before, Li Zhiyan used to call Ji Mengting 'Ting Bao'.

Since Ji Zhiting was a little younger, she was 'Xiao Ting Bao'.

"Mm..."

Ji Zhiting really wanted to hold Li Zhiyan's hand, fingers intertwined, as couples usually did.

Now that she and Li Zhiyan were together, it should be like that.

However, she could only bear with it for now.

The four reunited.

Li Zhiyan checked the time and said, "Mom, let's head back now."

...

The group returned, and Zhao Manman went back to Zhejiang first.

Li Zhiyan dropped off Ji Zhiting and Zhou Mengmeng at school.

After Zhao Manman boarded the high-speed train, Li Zhiyan had Su Jinan send people to protect Zhao Manman's safety, ensuring everything was foolproof.

Su Jinan also introduced Li Zhiyan to an attendant in Zhejiang.

Zhou Mengmeng secretly observed the two of them the whole way, noticing they were being discreetly intimate.

Combined with Ji Zhiting's behavior.

Zhou Mengmeng completely understood what was going on.

The situation was clear: they were together.

Seeing the person she liked with her roommate.

She felt very sad.

At the dorm entrance, she whispered, "I'm tired. I'm going to sleep first."

After saying goodbye to the two, she returned to her dorm, turned on the air conditioning.

She lay on her bed, burying her face, and secretly cried.

At the entrance, students were continuously returning to the dormitory building.

"I'm going back, Ge."

Ji Zhiting looked at Li Zhiyan, who was now her boyfriend, and felt a unique sensation in her heart.

Li Zhiyan patted Ji Zhiting's head.

"Then I'll leave first. Wait for me to come back."

"I'll keep you good company."

No matter what, he had to get the first kiss first.

Moreover, after being divorced for so long, Li Zhiyan actually had a difficult time at certain moments.

Some things with Ji Zhiting, it was time to explore them.

"Mm..."

"Bye-bye."

Ji Zhiting looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, then quickly kissed Li Zhiyan's cheek and ran off.

"This girl..."

Li Zhiyan once again used his FPS skills to calm himself down.

He got into the back seat of the car and told Old Sun to go directly to the high-speed train station.

...

Zhejiang.

When Zhao Manman returned to the villa, an infinite sense of desolation rose in her heart.

This place used to be home, a shelter from wind and rain.

But in the blink of an eye, it only brought her endless despair and coldness.

The person she had lived with for so many years.

He was truly so cruel to her, not intending to leave her any room for maneuver.

And all of this was just because she hadn't given birth to a son.

As she felt herself trembling, triggered by the surroundings.

Yang Xintao's call came in.

Yang Xintao hadn't called her these past few days.

"Hello, Xiao Yang."

"Sister Zhao."

Zhao Manman was still very curious about the matter.

"How did that matter turn out?"

Yang Xintao's voice carried a sense of happiness.

"This National Day trip, I really gained a lot. How about your gains?"

Zhao Manman was speechless, unsure how to answer.

"Anyway, this period has been the happiest time of my life."

"I plan to marry him."

Zhao Manman hadn't expected Yang Xintao to have such a crazy idea.

They were so far apart in age, marriage?

That wasn't realistic, was it?

"If you get married, his family surely wouldn't agree, right?"

"And you now..."

Yang Xintao said very firmly, "I've already decided to divorce."

"From now on, I want to start a new life with him and marry him."

"As for his family, I can change my identity."

"Anyway, age, name, everything can be started anew."

"Sister Zhao, thank you so much."

"I'll let you see me happy in the future."

Zhao Manman was somewhat distraught.

"Mm..."

"Then I hope you can be happy."

Zhao Manman felt a bit lost. So, it could be like this...

Changing her identity, Yang Xintao really had an idea.

...

Around four in the afternoon.

Li Zhiyan returned to Zhejiang.

He didn't have Zhao Manman pick him up; instead, he called the attendant Su Jinan had arranged for him in Zhejiang.

"Yunfei."

On the other end of the line, Guo Yunfei's voice was very humble.

"Yes, Mr. Li."

"It's like this, arrange a few people for me, some quite capable ones, to follow me these next few days. There might be some dangerous elements here."

Guo Yunfei immediately stated that he would handle the matter.

About ten minutes later, a Land Rover stopped at the entrance of the high-speed train station.

Li Zhiyan got into the Land Rover, welcomed by Guo Yunfei.

After getting in the car, Li Zhiyan called Zhao Manman.

"Mom, I've arrived in Zhejiang."

Zhao Manman in the villa was also very surprised.

She thought Li Zhiyan should arrive tomorrow, after all, traveling from the ancient town to Magic City...

And sending two young girls to school, the long journey would be very tiring.

But Li Zhiyan had rushed back the same day.

This truly surprised Zhao Manman greatly.

"Xiao Yan, why did you come back so quickly? You should have rested well for a day in Magic City; you must be tired too."

Li Zhiyan said caringly, "This matter is about you, after all."

"I was afraid for your safety, so I rushed back. I don't want anything unexpected to happen and regret it for the rest of my life."

"I'll be there soon. Please arrange to meet Ji Yunhai and discuss things at home to resolve the matter."

Zhao Manman felt very warm inside.

"Alright then..."

"This matter, let's handle it this way."

"I'll call him first."

After the call ended, Zhao Manman called Ji Yunhai.

"Hello."

"Come home. I'm home. Let's talk about the divorce."

However, Ji Yunhai's reply surprised her.

"I'll be home soon, wife. Let's talk calmly and nicely."

Soon, Ji Yunhai's car arrived home.

He walked into the villa, intending to delay the divorce.

"Have a seat."

Zhao Manman held a cup of water, sipping it gently.

Looking at his incredibly beautiful wife, Ji Yunhai felt a strange itch in his heart, yet also intense hatred.

Why was he the one with the problem, only able to be normal through certain special methods?

And some things.

Zhao Manman would never agree to him.

Only Liu Lanxia would be completely obedient to him.

"Wife."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have cheated."

"Please, forgive me."

"Can we just live our lives well?"

He feigned pity. Ji Yunhai now understood.

Why was Zhao Manman so resolute in divorcing him?

There was only one possibility: Zhao Manman had discovered his secret of cheating.

And this secret was almost certainly leaked by Li Zhiyan.

Ji Yunhai knew in his heart that Zhao Manman still cherished their marriage very much.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have tolerated some of his actions for so many years without ever mentioning divorce.

Seeing Zhao Manman remain silent, he knelt on the ground.

He tried to reach out and pull Zhao Manman's hand.

At this moment, Ji Yunhai inexplicably felt as if he had awakened.

If possible, here...

Was there hope for her to reconcile with him?

But Ji Yunhai's thoughts hadn't materialized yet.

He was splashed in the face with a cup of water by Zhao Manman, not even having time to touch her.

"Ji Yunhai, if you dare to touch me, I'll smash you."

"I feel disgusted just looking at you now."

Looking at the water cup in Zhao Manman’s hand, Ji Yunhai also cowered.

He knew better than anyone how strong this woman was.

It could be said that what she said would definitely come true.

If he were to touch her now, he would very likely end up with a broken head and bleeding.

In any case, it had been years since he had any physical contact with Zhao Manman.

Why now…

The hatred for Zhao Manman in his heart intensified.

He still wanted to finish this act to buy time.

Zhao Manman didn't want to watch Ji Yunhai's performance; his hypocrisy truly disgusted her.

"Stop acting. Let's discuss the property division."

"I can leave you a portion of the assets."

Ji Yunhai wiped the water from his face, feeling a bit bewildered at the moment.

Listening to Zhao Manman's meaning…

It seemed she wanted to leave him a little money and take the lion's share herself?

This woman truly didn't know her place; she dared to think such things.

"Zhao Manman, are you out of your mind?"

"You want to take the lion's share? This is our joint marital property."

Seeing that this approach was useless, Ji Yunhai stopped pretending...

He reverted to his true colors.

Anyway, during the National Day holiday, he had already transferred most of the assets.

Filing for divorce would take a cycle, and he had connections, so it would take a long process for her to freeze the assets.

He was only begging her because he wanted the asset transfer to be cleaner.

"Hmm, I don't care about the money, but I have to do it for my daughters."

"Da Ting Bao and Xiao Ting will both stay with me."

Ji Yunhai didn't care about his two daughters at all.

"You wish! The bulk of the assets should be mine. As for those two money-losing burdens, take them if you want."

Zhao Manman was completely disheartened.

She forwarded all the evidence Li Zhiyan had given her to Ji Yunhai's phone.

"Since that's the case, take a good look."

"These are all the proofs of your infidelity and asset transfer."

Outside the villa, the people Li Zhiyan sent had already followed, and at this moment.

The Land Rover Li Zhiyan was riding in also arrived.

"Brother Yunfei."

Guo Yunfei waved his hand, and those few people retreated.

"Is everything alright?"

Li Zhiyan asked.

"It's fine, Mr. Li. We've been providing protection since Ms. Zhao returned."

"We haven't allowed any strangers to approach."

"We checked Ji Yunhai's car, and when he left the community, we had people check him several times to confirm he had no weapons before letting him in."

"Now, they seem to be discussing something."

Li Zhiyan knew that, given Ji Yunhai's personality, he wouldn't do anything too extreme, like murder.

After all, only those with nothing to lose are fearless.

Wealthy people value their lives even more.

However, he didn't know if Ji Yunhai would become enraged and resort to violence.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyan walked towards the villa.

...

Ji Yunhai opened WeChat and looked at the evidence Zhao Manman sent him.

After he saw the evidence of infidelity.

Cold sweat constantly broke out on his forehead, as if he had seen a ghost.

He had always been very secretive about his affairs.

That's why he hadn't left a single trace for so many years.

But now, his evidence had completely fallen into Zhao Manman's hands.

An ordinary detective would absolutely not be able to obtain such detailed evidence!

However, when he saw the evidence of his asset transfer.

He felt as if his soul had left him.

"How could you possibly have these things!"

"How is this possible!"

The matter of transferring assets was a top secret.

For this plan, he had spent a fortune hiring a big lawyer to help him with the transfer plan.

Everything should have been perfect and foolproof.

But...

The evidence of this matter was also in Zhao Manman's hands.

"Is there anything else to say now? If you're willing, I can leave you a small portion of the assets to fulfill your wish with that woman."

Zhao Manman was now completely in control of her emotions.

She had reverted to her usual strong and aloof demeanor.

Looking at Zhao Manman's strong and superior appearance before him.

Ji Yunhai's rage completely erupted.

With a family fortune of 300 million, he couldn't avoid the division this time!

Why should Zhao Manman get so much money? She didn't deserve it.

He began to curse.

"You slut, what are you pretending to be pure for!"

"Don't you even think about how poor your family was? Are you worthy of dividing my money!"

"I'm sick of your noble and aloof demeanor. What kind of thing are you!"

"Stupid bitch!"

Listening to Ji Yunhai's endless cursing, which was utterly heartless.

At this moment, Zhao Manman's heart was also filled with sorrow.

"Bitch" was a very vicious word, but Ji Yunhai had used it on her.

Moreover, he had added the word "stupid."

But what had she done wrong?

If her family hadn't been so poor, unable to even afford her schooling.

Would she have married him so young?

Her current achievements, she had clearly helped too much. If it weren't for her, Ji Yunhai's business wouldn't have reached this point.

But now, he was insulting her like this.

Looking at the beautiful and aloof Zhao Manman in front of him, the anger in Ji Yunhai's heart completely lost control.

Such a beautiful woman, yet he had no way to touch her, only to watch.

He swung his arm, aiming for Zhao Manman's face.

His nerves also became somewhat excited.

Zhao Manman closed her eyes in fear. No matter how strong she was, it was within the rules of civilized society.

Being hit by a man, she was powerless to resist.

Li Zhiyan, who had rushed over, instantly blocked in front of Zhao Manman.

This slap landed on Li Zhiyan's arm, making his arm feel a little numb.

He kicked back, directly striking Ji Yunhai's body, sending Ji Yunhai to the ground.

The few people nearby restrained him.

Ji Yunhai was even more furious when he saw Li Zhiyan.

He had imagined many things!

However, he couldn't break free.

"Alright, take him away. Let's go to court tomorrow."

Ji Yunhai was dragged away.

Li Zhiyan looked at the still shaken Zhao Manman.

He led Zhao Manman to the sofa.

"Mom, are you alright?"

Listening to Li Zhiyan's voice, the fear and grievances in Zhao Manman's heart also continued to gather.

This child, unknowingly, had already become her reliance.

When she was with Li Zhiyan, she felt a sense of security.

Unknowingly, he had truly grown up.

"I'm fine, Xiao Yan. Let Mom see your arm."

Zhao Manman looked, and Li Zhiyan's arm was already bruised.

This made Zhao Manman a little anxious.

"You wait here, Mom will go find you some medicated wine."

Zhao Manman was very distressed by Li Zhiyan's injury. If it weren't for him, that slap would have landed on her face.

When she returned with the medicated wine, a wind also began to blow outside.

The temperature was starting to drop.

Carefully wiping the bruised area for Li Zhiyan, Zhao Manman completely treated Li Zhiyan as her son.

"Son."

Li Zhiyan softly replied, "Yes, Mom, how did you provoke him?"

"It's a good thing I arrived in time, otherwise, it would have been a big problem."

Zhao Manman said sadly, "I thought, after all these years, I should leave him some property."

"I sent him the evidence, but I didn't expect him to start cursing me."

"And he even tried to hit me."

Li Zhiyan sneered.

"Shameless people are like this; when their schemes are exposed, they turn around and curse others."

"I don't find anything strange about him."

"Anything can happen."

"However, Mom, in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful and purest elder."

Zhao Manman felt much better listening to Li Zhiyan's heartwarming words.

Thankfully, there was Xiao Yan; otherwise, she really wouldn't know what to do about this matter.

Facing a man who had lost control of his emotions, she was unable to resist.

"Hmm... Xiao Yan, thankfully I have you."

Li Zhiyan glanced at Ji Yunhai's retreating figure as he was pulled away.

He said seriously, "Mom, let me handle this matter."

"You just watch, alright?"

"If I let you handle it, I think there will be even more problems."

Zhao Manman was a woman after all, and it was easy for her to be soft-hearted when facing so many years of emotions.

Li Zhiyan felt it was better for him to handle it cleanly.

"Hmm, alright, Xiao Yan, I'll leave this matter to you."

Zhao Manman no longer hesitated and fully entrusted the matter to Li Zhiyan.

"Then rest early today, and come to court tomorrow."

Zhao Manman gently rubbed Li Zhiyan's arm.

"Your arm, is it alright?"

"It's fine, Mom..."

Zhao Manman said with a pained heart, "Then Mom will go cook for you."

"You wait here."

That night, Zhao Manman checked Li Zhiyan's arm several times.

She was heartbroken, and only after confirming it was fine did she return to her room to sleep.

...

The next day, Li Zhiyan directly sued Ji Yunhai and Liu Lanxia.

Zhao Manman sat in the plaintiff's seat.

In the defendant's seat, Ji Yunhai and Liu Lanxia were soon brought in.

Both of their expressions were extremely grim.

Liu Lanxia was so insecure that she didn't dare to look at Zhao Manman. This woman, whether in terms of figure or appearance, was completely on a different level than herself.

The main reason she could make Ji Yunhai listen to her every word was because she had given birth to a son for him.

In terms of personal charm, she couldn't compare with Zhao Manman.

Ji Yunhai looked at Zhao Manman, feeling fear in his heart.

He hadn't thought so much before, hadn't thought that things would be exposed.

He only wanted to transfer all the assets seamlessly.

But sitting in the defendant's seat, he realized.

He was really going to jail; the evidence was conclusive, leaving no room for doubt.

He hated his past self from yesterday. He had always controlled his emotions well throughout his life.

Yesterday, why hadn't he controlled himself, messed things up, and brought them to this point?

He could have kept a portion of the assets.

As the lawyers submitted the evidence, the verdict was quickly delivered.

The divorce petition was granted and took effect immediately.

Both children were awarded to Zhao Manman.

Ji Yunhai was found to have major faults, including asset transfer and bigamy.

He was sentenced to leave with nothing; no assets, no children belonged to him.

His criminal acts were naturally prosecuted by law.

Various criminal acts were punished concurrently, and he was sentenced to five years in prison.

Liu Lanxia's fate was also not good.

She was sentenced to four years in prison for illegal occupation of property and bigamy.

Soon, Ji Yunhai and Liu Lanxia were both taken away.

When Li Zhiyan and Zhao Manman returned home, her head was still a bit muddled.

Was everything over…

"Mom, the assets are all back in your hands now."

"How to develop from here depends on your own wishes."

Zhao Manman nodded, but she seemed somewhat absent-minded.

This villa was truly cold, so cold now.

She had never thought before.

That one day she would have such an outcome with Ji Yunhai.

She had always truly thought of growing old with him.

The ideas and values she had upheld for so many years now seemed to have completely become a ridiculous joke.

She even found it laughable herself.

What had she been clinging to for so many years?

What was the point of it all?

That moment yesterday when he wanted to hit her, that must have been his true face hidden for so many years.

"Xiao Yan, it's really too cold here. It's been almost two months since autumn began."

"The weather is also getting cooler."

Li Zhiyan also felt it. It was hot during the day, but at night, there was a feeling of cold wind blowing.

"I think you should come back to Modu with me. Although it's cold here, in Modu, you have your family, and that's the most suitable place for you right now."

"That way, I can also accompany you often."

Zhao Manman glanced at Li Zhiyan, and a bit more vitality appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"You still want Mom to go to Modu?"

Li Zhiyan moved closer to Zhao Manman.

"Yes, of course."

"I've always hoped you could go to Modu. Is there any need for you to stay in Zhejiang?"
