Hou Junlai had already shown his greatest sincerity, so he believed that no one in this world would refuse such a proposal.

However, Jian Xing’er had a smile on her face as she looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar man in front of her.

Jian Xing’er asked indifferently, “Is everything in your world priced so clearly?”

Hou Junlai frowned slightly but didn’t say anything.

Miss Liu couldn’t take it anymore and scolded, “Jian Xing’er, you’re too shameless. President Hou is already very sincere. If it weren’t for President Hou being too kind, you…”

Before Miss Liu could finish speaking, Hou Junlai interrupted her and said, “Mingyue, I’ll tell her myself.”

Miss Liu glanced at Jian Xing’er angrily.

Jian Xing’er was a lazy piece of trash who had delusions of a luxurious life.

How disgusting.

Hou Junlai took a deep breath and said calmly, “Jian Xing’er, you…”

Without waiting for Junlai to speak, Jian Xing’er interrupted Hou Junlai.

After Jian Xing’er signed the divorce agreement, she smiled and said, “I know what you mean. After signing it, we’ll part on good terms. I won’t pester you again in the future. We’ll pretend that we never met.”

“I don’t want anything of yours. I got my answer. That’s more than enough.”

With that, Jian Xing’er stood up and turned around to prevent Hou Junlai from seeing the tears in her eyes.

Just now, Jian Xing’er had tried to find a trace of coercion in Hou Junlai’s eyes. Unfortunately, Jian Xing’er was overthinking things.

From Hou Junlai’s eyes, Jian Xing’er only saw seriousness and determination.

It turned out that Hou Junlai really wanted a divorce.

Hou Junlai actually thought that Jian Xing’er was no longer worthy of him.

What a joke. Jian Xing’er started laughing.

After laughing enough, Jian Xing’er turned around and looked at Hou Junlai with a smile.

Jian Xing’er said, “Three years can change a lot of things, right, Junlai?”

With that, Jian Xing’er turned around and left with determination.

Seeing that Jian Xing’er was gone, Hou Junlai immediately heaved a sigh of relief, but a trace of loneliness appeared on his face.

Miss Liu was very familiar with Hou Junlai, so of course she knew that Hou Junlai was genuinely a little sad at this moment.

No matter what, this was the romance of his youth, an indelible memory.

The moment Jian Xing’er signed it, it meant that the romance of their youth had come to an end. How could he not be sad?

Miss Liu comforted him, “President Hou, it’s not your fault. You didn’t do anything wrong. Jian Xing’er is the one in the wrong. If Jian Xing’er had worked hard to follow in your footsteps and stayed on the same level as you, things wouldn’t have ended like this.”

A bitter smile appeared on Hou Junlai’s face as he stared at the drizzle outside the window and said indifferently, “I understand, but I lost the person who loves me the most.”

Miss Liu immediately said, “President Hou, someone will love you more in the future.”

…

In the Ye family’s villa.

Hou Xiaoyu shouted, “Mom, it’s done! My brother and Jian Xing’er are divorced!”

“Just now, Jian Xing’er signed the divorce papers!”

When the Hou family found out that Hou Junlai and Jian Xing’er had successfully divorced, they smiled.

Mr. Hou looked calm and silent.

The smile on Mrs. Hou’s face was the widest, as if she had accomplished something monumental.

The person who spoke was Hou Junlai’s sister. Hou Xiaoyu sat beside her mother and continued, “Mom, although my brother her, he’s too kind. I heard that not only did he give Jian Xing’er a car and a house, but he also gave her two million yuan in cash!”

As soon as Hou Xiaoyu finished speaking, Mrs. Hou’s eyes widened.

Mrs. Hou shouted angrily, “What did you say?! He gave her so much money?”

“That won’t do. He can’t compensate her with so much money!”

Hou Xiaoyu immediately nodded and said, “That’s right, but you know what kind of person my brother is. No one can change his mind.”

“Although he should compensate Jian Xing’er, since Jian Xing’er paid my tuition back then, the compensation shouldn’t be so much.”

That’s right. When Hou Junlai and Jian Xing’er first got married, the Hou family was just an ordinary family and they were even a little poor.

Fortunately, Jian Xing’er had a high-paying job. She saved some money and even used it to support the Hou family.

It included tuition fees and living expenses for Hou Xiaoyu.

Although Mrs. Hou knew this, she still couldn’t accept giving Jian Xing’er so much compensation.

Mrs. Hou said to Mr. Hou, “Say something. Junlai gave too much compensation, right?”

“It’s true that Jian Xing’er helped our family back then, but don’t forget that the first thing Junlai did after he earned money was to buy Jian Xing’er’s parents’ a house and buy a villa for our family.”

“Although according to the law, Junlai and Jian Xing’er have joint assets, Jian Xing’er shouldn’t be given two million yuan!”

“I know that all of Jian Xing’er’s expenses for the past few years were paid by Junlai, so Jian Xing’er should have a lot of money now.”

“They’re divorced now, and everyone knows that it’s because Jian Xing’er isn’t worthy of Junlai anymore, so of course she shouldn’t be given so much money.”
