At this moment, the head of the legal department came over and reported, “President Xiang, the people from the tax bureau are here!”

Xiang Haoyu was so incensed that he swept everything off his desk.

“Mo Hanchen, you’ll die a horrible death!”

Xiang Haoyu’s father, Xiang Shen, suddenly walked in, followed by the Xiang family’s steward, Zhou Liang!

He looked at the dispirited Xiang Haoyu in exasperation. “Go back and rest!

“From now on, I have the final say in the Xiang Group!”

He then left with Zhou Liang.

“Old Zhou, contact Meng Yue and tell her that I’m treating her to tea!”

Meng Yue and her best friend, Zhang Shuang, had set up a small studio that specialized in providing high-quality murals, such as for exhibition halls, exhibition rooms, libraries, luxury hotels, villas, and so on.

When she received Zhou Liang’s call, she and Zhang Shuang were seeing to a project at a seven-star hotel.

Looking at the caller ID, Meng Yue didn’t need to guess to know that her father-in-law was looking for her.

It might be related to the Xiang Group.

It was already half an hour later when she arrived at the agreed-upon café.

Xiang Shen greeted her first, “Meng Yue, you’re here!”

“Dad,” Meng Yue called out in a low voice.

“Don’t be nervous, come and sit.”

The last time Meng Yue had seen Xiang Shen had been at her wedding with Xiang Haoyu. Xiang Shen and his wife had subsequently been living abroad. If Xiang Haoyu did not return home during the holidays, she had no reason to do so.

Meng Yue had just picked up the teacup in front of her when Xiang Shen went straight to the point.

“You should have heard about the Xiang Group’s situation, right?”

Meng Liang nodded obediently. “Yes!”

She looked at Xiang Shen and waited for his next move.

Xiang Shen sighed, “I heard that you’re in the process of getting a divorce?”

Meng Yue’s eyes flashed and she continued to nod. “Yes!”

Xiang Shen’s expression darkened. “I also heard that you offended Mo Hanchen from the Moyun Group?”

Meng Liang laughed. “Dad, you must have heard that Mo Hanchen wants me, right?”

Xiang Shen heaved a sigh, a helpless expression on his face. “The Xiang Group can’t be finished in Haoyu’s hands!

“Uncle has no choice!”

Meng Liang laughed sarcastically.

“Uncle?”

This was her father-in-law. How ironic!

“I understand what you mean, Uncle!”

As she said this, she looked at Xiang Shen. “Does Xiang Haoyu know that you’re here to talk to me about this?”

Xiang Shen looked at Meng Yue. “He doesn’t! And there’s no need for him to know!

“I have the final say in your matters!”

Meng Yue held the cup and nodded.

With that, she walked to the front desk and returned with a piece of paper.

She placed it in front of Xiang Shen. “Uncle, this is the divorce agreement. Get Xiang Haoyu to sign it and hand it to me. After I get the divorce certificate, I’ll go and look for Mo Hanchen!”

Xiang Shen’s face instantly darkened as he looked at the paper in front of him.

“You don’t believe that I can solve your problem?”

Meng Yue smiled. “I believe you!

“It’s safer for me to wait until I get the divorce certificate. After all, if I don’t have the divorce certificate, I’ll be with Mo Hanchen in an unclear way and someone will create trouble for me. Not only will the Meng family be humiliated, Mo Hanchen will be humiliated, and the Xiang family’s reputation will be tarnished!”

Hearing this, Xiang Shen’s face froze, and he couldn’t help but avert his eyes!

He felt embarrassed that she had seen through his thoughts.

It was also at this time that he obtained a new understanding of Meng Yue!

He had indeed come to her today with some intentions.

Meng Yue turned to Xiang Shen. “What do you think?”

Xiang Shen picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea. “You’ve considered everything!”

Meng Yue smiled and nodded. “I believe that Uncle has considered this more than I do. After all, Mo Hanchen is not easy to deal with.

“Additionally, Xiang Haoyu was the one who set him up first!

“And I’m just a scapegoat!”

Xiang Shen’s eyes gleamed. “As long as you settle Mo Hanchen’s matter, I’ll give you 50 million!”

Meng Yue lowered her eyes. “Uncle is so generous. This is more than the betrothal gifts back then!”

Xiang Shen’s eyes darkened, his face burning in embarrassment.

“You should talk to Xiang Haoyu about the divorce first. After all, we can only discuss further when we have the divorce certificate!”

After that, Meng Yue politely said goodbye and left.

At this moment, Zhou Liang walked out from the shadows.

“Young Madam is much more clear-headed than we thought!”

Xiang Shen’s phone then rang.

It was Xiang Haoyu’s assistant, Guo Rui.

“President Xiang, we can’t take it anymore!”

Hanging up the phone, Xiang Shen was in despair.

“That evil creature, I can’t wait to kill him now!”

Zhou Liang said, “You can’t blame it all on Young Master. Mo Hanchen is not a good person either!”

Xiang Shen slammed his hand on the table in frustration. “Who is Mo Hanchen? He’s not someone he can play with! If he didn’t have any bad intentions, how could there be such a disaster!”

Zhou Liang exhaled. “Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to get a divorce!”

Xiang Shen sighed, “I tried to sound him out previously. It shouldn’t be that easy to get him to divorce!”

A devious look flashed across Zhou Liang’s face. “Old Master, do you think this will work…”

After Xiang Haoyu’s father had taken over his job, he stormed out of the Xiang Group!

He gave Meng Yue a call, and the latter answered it once before hanging up with the excuse that she was busy.

After that, he called her again, but she didn’t answer at all!

He threw his phone on the ground in fury.

He drove all the way to West Coast Water City, but the place was vacuous and empty.

When he arrived at Royal View Court, he realized that he couldn’t even enter Meng Yue’s building without the owner’s permission.

Finally, he arrived at the Supreme Club!

The place had already reopened for business!

He ordered some wine and began to drink alone.

Not long after, the door to his room was pushed open.

A beautiful figure walked in. “Haoyu..”

Xiang Haoyu squinted drunkenly at the figure before him. “Meng Yue, I knew you can’t bear to leave me.”

Chen Qing’s beautiful face stiffened.

“Haoyu, I’m Chen Qing. I’m your Qing’er, don’t you remember? We used to be together almost every day!”

However, Xiang Haoyu was not listening to her words at all. He held onto Chen Qing.

“Meng Yue, my good Yueyue…

“Meng Yue, you’ve loved me and pursued me for three years. How can you divorce me…

“Let’s be together. Let’s have a child and be together forever…”

Everything after happened naturally.

They shortly arrived at the suite upstairs.

After a long while, calm was finally restored.

Chen Qing looked at the man who was fast asleep, her eyes filled with hurt.

They had been together many times, and she knew that she was not Xiang Haoyu’s only woman. However, she was the one who had stayed by his side the longest.

Today was the first time she had been a substitute!

She was Meng Yue’s substitute!

What a joke!

Chen Qing was unwilling!

At this moment, her eyes glinted and a plan came to her mind.

She took out her phone and lay in Xiang Haoyu’s arms…
