Chapter 2: The Divorce Agreement Signed, The Deal Terminated
“Jiang Yueshan...”
Chen Fan frowned. As someone who abides by the rules of a deal, he was displeased by Jiang Yueshan’s unilateral breach of contract.
“It was you who begged me to marry your daughter. And now you want me to divorce Jiang Xiao?”
“No?” Jiang Yueshan sneered. “At first, I thought your birth chart matched Xiao Xiao’s perfectly, and that you could bring a turning point to the Jiang family.”
“Hah! But what have you done since you came to the Jiang family?”
“Our family’s success today is all due to hard work!”
Jiang Yueshan said this with an air of confidence, forcing a smile from Fu Xueyue, who was inwardly shaken.
Fu Xueyue personally came to deliver a million-dollar order, clearly seeing the rising momentum of the Jiang family!
This was all thanks to the efforts of the family!
Fu Xueyue was startled. No wonder Chen Fan’s contract with her stated that they would only involve business, not personal matters.
The Jiang family... had such a gem of a man, yet she had been completely unaware?
And all this was attributed to their own efforts?
Had the rise of the Jiang family in just one year anything to do with their hard work?
No, it was opportunity!
Fu Xueyue knew her chance had come!
“Heh heh, Boss Jiang, indeed, effort is inseparable from success.”
Fu Xueyue smiled lightly, but she didn’t specify whose efforts she was referring to.
“President Fu...” Jiang Yueshan’s face lit up with excitement.
This was a kindred spirit!
Chen Fan looked at Fu Xueyue with a hint of helplessness. This woman... still wanted to pour fuel on the fire.
It was obvious she was unhappy after being given a ‘nice guy card’ last night.
Boss Fu held a bit of a grudge.
“Boss Jiang, since you have family matters to attend to, let’s wait until you’ve settled them before we discuss further.”
Fu Xueyue gave Jiang Yueshan no chance to speak, standing up coldly and heading toward the door.
As she passed Chen Fan, she lowered her voice and said, “I like you... in your pajamas.”
Having said this, Fu Xueyue left without giving Chen Fan time to respond. Once outside the villa, she realized her face was burning hot.
Chen Fan had no time to dwell on the efforts Fu Xueyue had made to tease him.
“It’s all your fault!”
---
Jiang Yueshan stood up in anger, pointing a finger at Chen Fan and shouting.
“If it weren’t for you, the cooperation with Fu Group would’ve been finalized today!”
“Sign it! Then get out of the Jiang family!”
He pulled a divorce agreement from the drawer of the coffee table and slammed it down.
“Jiang Xiao...”
Chen Fan’s words faltered as he picked up the divorce papers and sneered.
Jiang Xiao, the wife he had cared for over the past year, had already signed the divorce papers.
Today’s divorce was not a sudden whim of Jiang Yueshan’s.
It had long been agreed upon within the Jiang family.
Though their marriage was a transaction, Chen Fan respected Jiang Xiao and cared for her.
If Jiang Xiao had no love for him, he would not cross any boundaries.
He had been generous to the Jiang family, such as helping Fu Xueyue, and all the returns he sought were for the Jiang family.
In Qing City, the people he helped for the Jiang family were far more than just Fu Xueyue.
“Since you’ve decided to break the contract, I won’t say anything else.”
Chen Fan signed the divorce papers decisively.
Only then did a hint of satisfaction appear in Jiang Yueshan’s eyes. He snatched the papers and tore them with a grimace.
“Get out quickly!”
Chen Fan ignored Jiang Yueshan. There were two things he hated most in life.
The first was to trample on human life and bully the weak.
The second was to break contracts and disrespect agreements.
He walked into the bedroom, changed clothes, and left the Jiang family villa.
Jiang Yueshan heard the gate close and smiled victoriously.
He pulled out his phone, eagerly wanting to see the electronic contract sent by Fu Group.
But when he tried to open it, he found the other party had withdrawn the contract.
“What? What?”
Jiang Yueshan stood up excitedly. “President Fu, why did you withdraw the document!?”
...
Chen Fan reached the entrance of the residential community and saw a woman standing beside a top-spec Maybach, her aura cold and ethereal like a fairy.
---
“Mr. Chen, have you divorced?”
Fu Xueyue’s tone was as cold as ever, but Chen Fan noticed a twinkle in her eyes.
This woman... seemed to have been looking at him with this strange expression for days now.
“Yes, I signed.”
“So you’re no longer connected to the Jiang family?”
“More or less.”
Fu Xueyue’s soft pink lips parted slightly, and for once, her usually cold expression carried a hint of youthful shyness.
“Mr. Chen...”
“If I pursue you now, will you no longer use your marriage as an excuse to reject me?”
“Then... if I confess to you now, will you accept?”
Chen Fan was momentarily stunned. Aside from being surprised by Fu Xueyue’s boldness, Jiang Xiao, his wife—no, ex-wife—who was walking into the community, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Jiang Xiao, clutching her bag, stared blankly at the two of them.
She saw the most shocking scene of her life.
Fu Xueyue, president of Qing City’s Fu Group, was confessing to a man she had despised?
Fu Xueyue also froze briefly when she saw Jiang Xiao.
“Chen Fan! What are you doing?” Jiang Xiao panicked.
Chen Fan was clearly her husband, so why would he accept someone else’s confession?
Especially from a woman she had long despised and watched with disdain.
Jiang Xiao had wanted to break away from Chen Fan for a long time, but seeing him with Fu Xueyue made her heart ache all over again.
“Jiang Xiao, or rather, Miss Jiang.”
Chen Fan’s face was calm as he spoke lightly, “I’ve signed the divorce papers. Our deal is over. Remember to pick a time to go to the civil affairs bureau.”
Before he finished speaking, Fu Xueyue opened the car door and eagerly pulled him inside.
Without hesitation, the moment Chen Fan sat down, her soft pink lips pressed against his.
The car window slowly rolled up, hiding what was inside from Jiang Xiao’s view.
Anger, jealousy, and astonishment intertwined within Jiang Xiao’s heart.
How... could this be...
