The Host is Clearly A Scumbag (Quick Travel)

Shi Yunyun wasn't a complete fool. After consulting with a lawyer, she learned that during pregnancy and for one year after childbirth, or six months after a terminated pregnancy, the husband couldn't file for divorce. Plus, there was now a mandatory 30-day cooling-off period for divorces.

Shi Yunyun was relieved. She loves Xiao Yu, so how could she agree to a divorce?

Besides, who got divorced right after marriage? She'd be the laughingstock of the entire social circle.

But still, since Shi Yunyun did something wrong, she felt a little guilty.

In addition, Mother Xiao kept scolding her after returning from the hospital.

Shi Yunyun couldn't stand the grievance, so she took a taxi to the dowry given to her by Sun Ting, which is an apartment in the city center.

When Sun Ting heard what had happened with the Xiao Family, she was frantic with worry and rushed over to stay with her daughter.

Even though the mother and daughter had a conflict before, her daughter was her flesh and blood no matter what, so she couldn't ignore her at this time.

When Xiao Yu returned home, he found that Shi Yunyun was missing. When he called her again, she directly said that the law protects pregnant women and that this divorce wasn't happening.

Xiao Yu was so angry that he smashed a large antique porcelain vase.

He wanted to pin everything on Shi Yunyun and divorce her, but as Shi Yunyun said… legally, it wasn't that simple.

Before Xiao Yu could figure out another plan, the Gu Family and the Shen Family took action against the Xiao Family, and the steward of Prince Sahara also arrived at Xiao Jewelry with the contract, demanding compensation.

Overnight, the Xiao Corporation was thrown into panic, and the shareholders sold their shares one after another.

No matter how many promises Xiao Yu made, empty words couldn't compare to cold, hard cash.

Faced with the current disaster, only an idiot would stick with the sinking ship. The shareholders fled faster than rabbits.

Just a week ago, Xiao Yu had been ambitious, ready to conquer the world. Now, after just five days, he looked like a completely different man… haggard, defeated.

It's not that Xiao Yu didn't try to reach out to Mingting. He even traveled to the remote mountains where Mingting was filming the movie, begging him to show mercy for old times' sake.

But seeing Xiao Yu's unshaven, pitiful state didn't soften Mingting's heart.

In the original timeline, the original owner also went to Xiao Family to beg Xiao Yu to let his family go and not to supress them. After all, they were friends.

Not to mention, Gu Mingting had raised Xiao Yu and Shi Yunyun's child for years, and the Gu Family had never wronged them.

But Xiao Yu looked high and mighty at the time.

What did he say?

"Business is like a battlefield, and you should be willing to accept defeat."

Now, it was Mingting's turn to return this sentence to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu wanted to say something, but was stopped by the bodyguard that Gu Mingxuan had arranged for Mingting.

Xiao Yu also tried forcing Shi Yunyun to apologize and beg Mingting for mercy, but Mingting simply changed his phone number to avoid harassment.

With the Gu and Shen Families joining forces, the already crumbling Xiao Corporation was pushed to the brink.

Xiao Yu liquidated all the fixed assets he could, but it still wasn't enough to cover the compensation stipulated in the contract.

In the end, had no choice but to hand over his shares to the Prince Sahara's steward.

Back when the Xiao Corporation was thriving, those shares had been valuable.

But now, with the company in ruins, Xiao Yu had to grovel just to get the scowling steward to reluctantly accept the shares he and his father held.

In less than ten days, Xiao Corporation, which once had a place in the jewelry industry, collapsed.

Xiao Yu's family was forced to move from their villa to a modest three-bedroom apartment, and the wealth and luxury they once enjoyed vanished like smoke.

Just as people were marveling at the Xiao Family's downfall, the former Xiao Corporation re-emerged under a new name.

"Dowry?"

Father Shen looked at the newly rebranded Shen Jewelry Company and nodded in approval.

Although Mingting could be underhanded at times, especially when it came to sweet-talking his daughter, Father Shen had to admit that this kid is generous.

This dowry was a solid show of sincerity, and all the shares are registered under Shen Tinglan's name.

Seeing his son-in-law value his daughter so much pleased Father Shen immensely.

Moreover, the means Mingting showed in the process of targeting Xiao Corporation gave Father Shen a new perspective on him.

'Each generation has its own talents!'

Later, during a call with Father Gu, Father Shen sighed in admiration.

They had originally planned to avenge Mingting themselves, but the kid had quietly secured everything behind the scenes.

His cunning and skill put these two's minds at ease, at least they wouldn't have to worry about their son (son-in-law) being bullied.

Moreover, Mingting had managed to keep his hands clean, letting outsiders believe it was the Gu and Shen Families who had taken down the Xiao Corporation.

He remained the victim while the two old men took the blame.

"Sly as a fox!"

Hearing Father Shen's teasing, Father Gu couldn't help but feel smug. He hadn't expected Mingting's so-called 'big move' to be the complete annihilation of the Xiao Corporation.

Sure enough, a tiger father doesn't raise a dog of a son.

Mingting's competence reflected well on Father Gu.

As for Mingting gifting the newly obtained jewelry company to the Shen Family instead of keeping shares for his own family, Father Gu had no objections, and neither did Gu Mingxuan.

There is nothing wrong with his son (younger brother) giving the family business earned by his own ability as a dowry to the woman he loved!

The attitude of the Gu Family further pleased Father Shen, and he finally accepted the two youngsters' decision to hold their wedding at the end of September.

The two families had dinner together and determined that September 20th was an auspicious day and suitable for marriage.

During this period, Mingting also shamelessly moved into Shen Tinglan's luxury flat.
