Chapter 130: Observing the Subtlest Details
Someone once said, if a woman mentions divorce a thousand or even ten thousand times, that marriage won't end.
But if a man mentions divorce, once is enough!
However, when Lin Hao talked about divorce, Su Muyun had a slight misunderstanding.
"What? Do you think our Su Family needs you now, so you're acting tough? Didn't you say you wouldn't divorce previously?" Su Muyun sneered repeatedly.
"Initially, I did want to salvage it a bit, but now there's no need. A woman whose heart has changed is like a rib - there's no meat to eat, but there's flavor to throw it away." Lin Hao's tone had become much calmer.
After all, this kind of woman can't be kept at home, better to end it early and avoid the torment.
Upon hearing this, Su Muyun's face was full of black lines, and she said coldly, "You're the rib! I don't want you! If it wasn't for worrying about my dad's health, I would have divorced you ages ago."
"Although you're heartless and ungrateful, your father-in-law is kind-hearted. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wanted to stay here long ago." Lin Hao retorted immediately.
"Lin Hao, since we both want to divorce, it will be easy. I can have the lawyer draft a separate divorce agreement, and we can sign it without telling my dad." Su Muyun's tone softened somewhat.
"Why keep it a secret? Are you afraid it'll trigger your father-in-law's heart condition?" Lin Hao mocked coldly.
"My dad isn't well, and just earlier his high blood pressure was aggravated by you. If he knows we're hiding this from him, he'll surely be enraged. So, we can divorce, but we can't tell him." Su Muyun suggested.
"I wouldn't mind not telling your father-in-law, but we can't keep this hidden forever, right?" Lin Hao said solemnly.
"Six months, the limit is six months. Within this period, I'll find the time to confess to Dad. Until then, I'll leave, and I'll promise to give you the house and car, I'll leave with nothing." Su Muyun compromised.
"I don't care about the house and car, just worry if your father-in-law can handle it. How about three months as the limit?" Lin Hao surprisingly agreed. Your support on M|V|L8EMPYR keeps this series going.
"Alright then, sign it." Su Muyun unexpectedly took out a divorce agreement.
"Hehehe... You prepared this a long time ago! Truly forward-thinking!" Lin Hao sneered repeatedly.
"What? Are you backing out?" Su Muyun mocked.
"A man's word is like a nail in a tree; however, what if while pretending to be married, we end up having relations?" Lin Hao took the agreement and signed his name without saying a word.
"Once signed, you can't touch me, otherwise, I'll kill you!" Su Muyun said fiercely.
"What if you're the one instigating?" Lin Hao laughed wickedly.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't feel like it. Once I get the lawyer to handle it, I'll give you a copy." Su Muyun also signed her name.
Looking at both signatures, Lin Hao felt unexpectedly empty inside; after all, they've had over three years of feelings, and he'd poured so much genuine emotion into it, yet in the end, it was all for nothing.
"Then I'll go sleep in the guest room downstairs." Lin Hao took the divorce agreement and walked out.
Holding her copy of the divorce agreement, Su Muyun felt immediately excited and thrilled, feeling utterly liberated, and that she'd soon embrace a bright new life.
Luo Zhijun rushed back urgently, and upon entering he asked loudly, "Dad, is Lin Hao back?"
At this point, Peng Yunyan had received a slap and had been consoled back to her room by Su Muchen, leaving only Su Dingfang sulking in the living room.
"He's back, with Mu Yun in the room." Su Dingfang replied casually.
"Brother-in-law, are you looking for me?" Lin Hao slowly walked down from the second floor.
"Lin Hao, are you free tomorrow night?" Luo Zhijun asked loudly.
"I already told you, I need to see the situation tomorrow night, you know, if there's a sudden requirement to work overtime, I can't escape from it." Lin Hao kept him hanging.
"Zhijun, are you also planning to invite Lin Hao for dinner tomorrow night?" Su Dingfang asked.
"It's just been a while, just an invitation for a meal with the brother-in-law." Luo Zhijun hedged.
"You're not planning to invite Lin Hao on behalf of Shen Sihai, are you?" Su Dingfang asked solemnly.
"Dad, you truly have sharp insight, sure enough, Shen Sihai wants to invite me for dinner." Lin Hao responded with a smile.
Su Dingfang's face darkened and he said coldly, "Zhijun, I told you not to mingle with Shen Sihai, why won't you listen?"
"Dad, President Shen is very generous, I just can't understand, why don't you like him?" Luo Zhijun said with a bitter face.
"It's not me who dislikes him, it's the people of Wucheng County who all dislike him." Su Dingfang said angrily.
"Dad, what kind of friends I make is my freedom, you don't have to interfere." Luo Zhijun's face wasn't very good.
"Not listening to the advice of the elders will lead to immediate regret, Shen Sihai is insidious and cunning, you can't outsmart him, you'll end up being harmed by him sooner or later." Su Dingfang had a feeling of helplessness like 'expecting steel from iron'.
"Dad, you have prejudice against President Shen. Let me tell you, just stay out of my affairs." Luo Zhijun showed no respect to his father-in-law.
Su Dingfang's face was full of black lines, his lips pursed, finally swallowing back the words on the tip of his tongue.
Lin Hao watched the father-in-law suffer a setback, feeling happy inside, after all, previously Su Dingfang favored Luo Zhijun more and thought him full of promise, only after the last incident did Su Dingfang begin to favor Lin Hao more.
For instance, in tonight's matter, he kept helping Lin Hao fight for the greatest benefits, that was why Su Family rented Lin Hao the villa for one dollar, allowing him to use it as a favor.
Unfortunately, a few women were short-sighted, completely unaware of the human relations behind it, thinking Lin Hao was merely raising the price.
To be blunt, if Lin Hao couldn't speak for Red Era Group, the Su Family wouldn't even think about securing any projects.
Actually, Lin Hao had already sorted the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain of the new energy battery, and had picked out the investment projects and directions for the Su Family.
But now the situation has changed, given the Su Family's unwillingness to offer the villa, Lin Hao didn't feel it was necessary to continue discussing the plans further with them.
"Lin Hao, tomorrow at seven, dinner at Four Seas Hotel, how about I come pick you up?" Luo Zhijun asked Lin Hao again loudly.
"I really can't decide now, and I don't want to go to Four Seas Hotel either, Dad is right, we should avoid getting entangled with Shen Sihai." Lin Hao replied candidly.
Seeing Lin Hao's opinion aligned with his, Su Dingfang smiled happily and said, "Lin Hao still has a clear mind, that Shen Sihai is definitely not a good person, it's best to avoid associating with him."
"Lin Hao, don't just listen to Dad, what does he understand? If you don't want to go to Four Seas Hotel, then you pick a place." Luo Zhijun compromised.
"I can't just casually agree, in case something urgent pops up and I miss it, that wouldn't be good. How about this, I'll contact you after work tomorrow." Lin Hao thought for a moment and said.
"Okay then, I'll contact you tomorrow." Luo Zhijun went upstairs feeling full of joy.
