Nan Zhenting sighed, "He found out somehow that your grandmother and I got our marriage certificate. He called me several times. If I didn't clarify things with him in front of him, he'd keep causing trouble."
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly, "That cowardly person actually dares to cause trouble with you? Who gave him the guts!"
"He has the divorce agreement between me and An Lanshu."
"So what!" Lan Yuxi looked at the butler, "Let him in, then close the door and unleash Zhao Zhao!"
Tang Wan helplessly poked her forehead, "Is that how you talk? What do you mean, 'close the door and unleash Zhao Zhao'?"
"Someone like him should be dealt with by Zhao Zhao!" Lan Yuxi watched the butler leave and turned to Nan Zhenting, "What are his demands with that divorce agreement?"
Nan Zhenting clenched his fist, "He wants to be involved in the North City project. I won't let him succeed. Your grandmother and I have already discussed it. Even if we divorce, he still won't get involved in the North City project, nor will he use that thing to separate you and Nan Xiao."
"He's got guts!" Lan Yuxi sneered and pulled out her phone to make a call.
Seeing Lan Yuxi so confident, everyone's worried hearts were put at ease. In their understanding, there was nothing this girl couldn't solve.
Soon, An Ziling walked in.
An Ziling swept his gaze over the people in the hall. Seeing Lan Yuxi and Zhao Zhao present made his heart tremble. However, remembering he had his trump card, his back straightened instantly.
Lan Yuxi gave him a cold look. Without letting him sit, she said coldly, "An Ziling, do you want this to be your last visit to my house? If you dare to come here again next time, I will ensure you leave feet first!"
An Ziling stood there awkwardly, as if on trial. Hearing Lan Yuxi's words, his expression immediately turned unpleasant.
"Lan Yuxi, is that how you speak to an elder!"
Zhao Zhao scoffed, "Disrespectful to elders, and you expect respect! What trick are you up to this time? Spit it out!"
An Ziling looked at Zhao Zhao's intimidating eyes and instinctively shrank his neck. When he saw his handbag, he immediately regained his confidence.
"Nan Zhenting, what did you promise my sister? Your sister has only been gone a few days, and you're already marrying Ling Xiaoling!"
He didn't dare to confront Lan Yuxi and Zhao Zhao, but he could still challenge Nan Zhenting, as his little secret was in his hands.
"That's between me and An Lanshu. Who do you think you are to interfere?"
Well, the old man is getting feisty too.
"This is not me interfering; my sister entrusted me. She said if she left first, I should supervise you. As long as you live with Ling Xiaoling, this agreement will be effective!"
An Ziling confidently took out the divorce agreement.
"However, I'm not unreasonable. As long as I can participate in the North City new district project, you two father and son don't have to divorce."
Zhao Zhao, at his mother's signal, slowly stood up, "What agreement? We never knew about it?"
An Ziling stealthily glanced at him and instinctively began to explain, "It's your grandfather and grandmother's divorce agreement."
Zhao Zhao looked at Nan Zhenting suspiciously, "Grandpa, you signed a divorce agreement?"
Nan Zhenting shook his head, "Never signed one."
An Ziling became displeased upon hearing this, waving the divorce agreement and exclaiming, "Nan Zhenting, it's in black and white, and it has your signature. You can't deny it!"
"Heh—" Nan Zhenting sneered, "Bring that thing over. I want to see what kind of nonsense that is."
An Ziling's hand was less than a foot away before he quickly hugged the document back into his arms, "Don't try to trick me. What if you destroy the evidence!"
Zhao Zhao said coldly, "It's fine if you don't show it to us. Let two lawyers come over and look at it. If you've faked it, then don't bring it up again. If it's real, then my grandfather and father will do as written."
"A child like you can't make decisions for adults?"
"I've dealt with you before!"
An Ziling hesitated, "Fine, wait here. I'll call a lawyer over."
Zhao Zhao gave him a faint look and took his mother's phone to make another call.
Thirty minutes later, Nan Yang and An Ziling's lawyer entered one after another.
Seeing everyone present, An Ziling finally took out the divorce agreement.
Just as he was beaming with pride, Nan Yang spoke first, "This divorce agreement is fake. This signature is not the handwriting of the old patriarch Nan."
An Ziling's heart leaped. He rushed over, "How is that possible!"
This was sent to him from abroad by his sister's trustee after her death. She recognized her sister's signature, but Nan Zhenting's handwriting...
An Ziling's eyes narrowed sharply. It's over. He and his sister have been tricked by Nan Zhenting!
"Nan Zhenting, you're despicable! My sister showed me this divorce agreement back then. Do you dare say there was no such thing!"
Zhao Zhao elegantly rolled his eyes, "What your sister showed you was just her fantasy. She was confused by her illness, and you are too? I'll give you one minute. If you're still standing here, I'll acquire the An Group the next second!"
Cold sweat broke out on An Ziling's forehead.
"Lawyer Fang..." An Ziling looked to his lawyer for help.
Lawyer Fang frowned slightly, "Let's go back first. As for the handwriting, we'll need an expert to authenticate it to determine its authenticity."
An Ziling hastily grabbed the divorce agreement and turned to flee.
Seeing his client leave, Lawyer Fang also slunk away.
Lan Yuxi smiled and stroked her son's little head, "Son, you did a great job today. Tomorrow, you'll sacrifice some rest time and acquire the remaining industries of the An Group. I don't want to see him hopping around in front of me."
Zhao Zhao made an 'ok' gesture with his little hand.
After the mother and son finished speaking, Nan Yang looked at Lan Yuxi and smiled, "Mistress, may I ask how you managed it?"
Lan Yuxi curled her lips slightly, "I've always been keeping an eye on this divorce agreement. I failed to get my hands on it several times. Later, An Lanshu mailed it abroad, and that's when I got my chance."
Nan Yang nodded in admiration, "Thank you for trusting me so much, Mistress."
"We're family, no need to hide anything."
Nan Yang smiled, got up, and bid farewell, leaving Half-Mountain Villa.
With no outsiders around, Nan Zhenting let out a long sigh, "You girl, why didn't you tell me sooner? You made your grandmother and me lose sleep for days."
"After the switch, I forgot about it." Lan Yuxi scratched her head. "You didn't tell me either. If you had told me earlier, maybe I would have remembered."
Ling Xiaoling smiled helplessly. This girl, she forgot such a big thing... Suddenly, the smile on Ling Xiaoling's face disappeared completely, "Xi'er, do you often forget things that have happened?"
