Chapter 438 - 440: Please Sign the Divorce Papers 3
But her being with Liang Shaochen, would the Nangong Family accept it, the former Young Madam, getting involved with the Liang Family? The Liang Group, I’m afraid, wouldn’t accept her either.Even if they insisted on being together, it could ultimately lead to them being abandoned by everyone.
In the past, she only thought about leaving Nangong Yaoling and then telling Liang Shaochen that she was the real Qiqi.
But when reality was about to happen, she realized everything was not as simple as she’d imagined.
She and Nan Mo had too many obstacles between them; she couldn’t destroy him with her own hands.
Xia Xiaonuan slightly closed her eyes.
Now, the only way, was to prevent Jiang Xue’s schemes from succeeding.
As long as she remains Mrs. Nangong, Jiang Xue would forever be someone who couldn’t see the light of day.
Then she would find an opportunity to prove Jiang Xue’s identity was fake.
Additionally, there’s one more thing, she still has poison in her system.
If she divorced Nangong Yaoling, she’d have to move out. This villa was heavily guarded, and by then, trying to get the antidote would be an impossible dream.
Moreover, her time was running out, she couldn’t wait any longer.
One way or another, she had to steal the antidote before divorcing.
"Xia Xiaonuan, what are you standing there for?" Nangong Yaoling asked discontentedly upon seeing Xia Xiaonuan standing there dumbfounded.
Xia Xiaonuan was stunned and came back to her senses.
She looked at Nangong Yaoling, "I will definitely sign this agreement, but I need to carefully study the contents of the contract."
Hearing the first half of her sentence, Nangong Yaoling’s heart instantly sank.
But hearing the latter half, he suddenly felt a complex mix of emotions.
"What? Still need to study? Xia Xiaonuan, what do you want to study?" Nangong Yaoling deliberately asked loudly.
"I... How would I know what’s written inside? Also, if you want to divorce me, you must give me a portion of the family assets, right? After all, I’m still your legally married wife..." Now she could only employ a delaying tactic. She was determined to divorce, but not now! So, she had to keep this agreement, and when the time came she would sign it and leave.
Nangong Yaoling was completely choked by Xia Xiaonuan’s words.
Property?
This woman dared to talk to him about property?
He hadn’t realized that this woman was so greedy and so heartless!
Nangong Yaoling’s face turned pale with anger: "Xia Xiaonuan, don’t worry, you will get what’s yours, not a penny less! Just sign the paper!" Nangong Yaoling picked up a pen and heavily placed it in front of Xia Xiaonuan.
Originally, he only wanted to gamble once.
Because of Jiang Xue’s words, he felt a glimmer of hope, that maybe Xia Xiaonuan didn’t hate him as much as she appeared to. On the contrary, she perhaps still cared about him in her heart.
So, he gambled that she wouldn’t really want to divorce him.
Of course, if she really wanted to sign the paper, he would accept it.
After all, a forced melon isn’t sweet.
He didn’t want to torture himself anymore, nor did he want to continue dragging things out with her.
Only... he hadn’t anticipated that Xia Xiaonuan would dare to ask him for money!
Before, he had misjudged her!
He mistakenly thought she was a simple woman!
Nangong Yaoling clenched his lowered fist tightly, emitting the sound of joints colliding.
He almost couldn’t control himself from rushing up to strangle her.
Xia Xiaonuan picked up the pen on the table, knowing that Nangong Yaoling was very angry, but... she had to delay time.
"Verbal promises are meaningless. You say it won’t be less, but why should I believe you? Nangong Yaoling, now that you have a new love, you want to ditch me quickly like I’m a burden. But no matter what, you are still the president of the Nangong Empire, surely you wouldn’t be so petty as to throw me out with nothing, right!?"
