The old lady glanced at Shen Bing and said angrily, "You jinx, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Am I spouting nonsense? Before you even left here, you were already plotting how to get all her money from Wu Yuan. I believe Wu Yuan knows you better than I do."
Wu Yuan looked around at everyone. No one sympathized with her.
She finally admitted to herself that, in the end, she had still failed.
She had failed utterly!
Wu Yuan cast one last look at He Mingrun and He Mingxin, tears silently streaming down her face.
After a long while, she finally spoke, "He Wenxun, I agree to the divorce."
She was born to love money. She still had five hundred million yuan in pocket money, enough for her to live out the rest of her life.
He Wenxun had generously given it to her to settle things quickly.
If she continued to entangle herself, she would only end up in prison.
The old lady was indeed pushed by her.
Prudent people are wise. She understood this much.
He Wenxun breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go now."
Wu Yuan nodded painfully. "Okay!" She agreed readily.
"Yuan Yuan, you can't just let it go. You must take half of the He family's assets with you."
Wu Yuan said, "Mom, let's go. If we make more trouble, we'll lose everything."
The old lady instantly looked at her with a gaze full of disappointment.
"You can leave, but you must hand over all the money you have to me, and then give me fifty million yuan to save your nephew. He's my only precious grandson, I absolutely cannot let anything happen to him." The old lady's ugly true colors were instantly revealed.
Wu Yuan sneered, "I will not save him, nor will I hand over my money. After the divorce, I'm going abroad."
Wu Yuan raised her proud head and walked out with elegant steps.
"Bingbing, don't go. Wait for me to return," He Wenxun said, looking at Shen Bing with guilt.
Shen Bing replied, "It's impossible between us now. I'm leaving shortly."
"No!"
He Wenxun looked at He Mingxin. "Mingxin, if you don't want to lose your mother, keep her here. Wait for me to come back."
He Mingxin: "..." Why was he being tasked with such a difficult mission?
Shen Bing sighed softly and looked at He Mingxin. "Mingxin, you've grown so much. When I saw you the day before yesterday, you weren't this tall."
He Mingxin looked at her awkwardly, remaining silent.
Things had changed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, his mother had become someone else. He couldn't accept it for a moment.
Shen Bing didn't expect him to answer her question. She only knew that this son, apart from his talent in games, was not very talkative at other times.
He Mingrun said, "Mom, if you're not used to being here, why don't you go back with Yuan Yuan to rest first."
Shen Bing nodded. "Okay!"
The old lady and Wu Da saw this and knew their efforts today were in vain.
Shen Bing ignored the old lady and left with Meng Yuan.
"Shen Bing, are you really leaving like this?" the old lady roared indignantly.
Shen Bing suddenly stopped and looked back at her coldly. "I have nothing to threaten me now. I fear nothing anymore, not even death. I certainly don't fear you." Da Feng Novel Network
"However, your future days may be difficult. Having lost the He family, your cash cow, your son will soon abandon you too. Your old age, I'm afraid, will be very miserable."
It had to be said, Shen Bing's words struck the old lady right in the heart.
Her face turned ashen. Leaning on her cane, hunched over, she walked away step by step. Her pride would not allow her to show even a hint of breakdown in front of outsiders.
"Hmph!" Wu Da snorted at He Mingrun and He Mingxin. "You two ungrateful brats, you're as heartless as your mother."
He Mingrun retorted with a cold laugh, "My mother is not heartless. You are the wicked ones who only want to take money from the He family."
"You..."
"Get out!" He Mingrun didn't give him a chance to speak. His gaze was cold and sharp. Wu Da dared not say anything more and angrily chased after them.
"Whoosh...!" He Mingrun let out a breath.
"Brother, what happens now? Judging by Mom's attitude, she won't be with Dad anymore, right? Will we not have a complete family anymore?" He Mingxin looked unhappy.
He Mingrun looked at him and patted his shoulder heavily. "You've grown up now. You should focus on your career. Both our father and mother are alive in this world, they are by our side, and they will reunite one day."
He Mingxin pursed his lips and remained silent.
What he had experienced today was beyond his imagination.
How could there be such venomous mothers and sisters in the world?
However, he could feel that his mother was very gentle.
Mu Jiuchen took Jiang Nuan home and had no intention of leaving.
Jiang Nuan made him some nourishing tea, then processed the orders for the wellness center, calling the same-city courier to send out the necessary ingredient packets.
After finishing, an hour had already passed. She looked up and saw Mu Jiuchen also dealing with official business. She said, "Mu Jiuchen, I need to tell you something."
Mu Jiuchen finished his last email and looked up at her. "Nuan Nuan, tell me."
Jiang Nuan: "When the old lady was undergoing surgery, she lost consciousness. To give her a reason to live, I told her that you and I have three children."
Mu Jiuchen smiled, a very beautiful smile. "Nuan Nuan, you did the right thing. I originally wanted to tell Grandma about this, but I was too busy."
Jiang Nuan knew that they had both been very busy lately.
However, this man staying by her side made her feel a desire to rely on him. That subtle feeling was something she couldn't ignore.
Perhaps she had been lonely for too long. Mu Jiuchen's every word and deed, and his broad embrace, gave her a warmth that others could not provide, which was why she had this thought.
"Then tomorrow morning, we'll take the children to see the old lady."
Mu Jiuchen corrected her. "Nuan Nuan, you should call her Grandma!"
Jiang Nuan's face flushed slightly. "I'm not married to you yet!"
Mu Jiuchen's eyes deepened, and the corners of his lips curved into a sincere smile. "Nuan Nuan, it's only a matter of time."
"Wow, what's a matter of time? You said you wanted to pursue me. Is this how you pursue someone? Look at He Mingrun."
As soon as Jiang Nuan spoke, she regretted it. Why did she bring up He Mingrun again?
When Mu Jiuchen's gaze fell on her, she quickly lowered her head.
Seeing her guilty look and remembering she was injured, Mu Jiuchen let her off the hook.
His dark eyes held a faint smile, and his usually indifferent handsome face exuded a gentle glow.
"Nuan Nuan, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together, and then go see a movie." Although he had never been to a cinema, he was willing to go for the woman he liked.
Jiang Nuan's dissatisfied gaze fell on him. "Mu Jiuchen, you really have no romantic sense. It's me who has to remind you, and then you think of doing things."
Mu Jiuchen's face turned slightly embarrassed. He simply didn't want to replicate He Mingrun's way of dating; he wanted to give her something special.
His eyes flickered, a smile flashed, and he thought, why not start tonight.
