If nothing went wrong, Xue Yan's father's company would belong to her stepmother's son. So, why did she keep pestering Jiujiu to divorce Xue Yan so that she could get Xue Yan's shares?
When Xue Yan's stepmother first asked Ruan Jiujiu to marry Xue Yan, Jiujiu thought that she simply didn't want Xue Yan to live a good life. Later, when she asked Ruan Jiujiu to divorce Xue Yan and ask for the shares, she thought that Xue Yan's stepmother only wanted the shares. Now, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was not someone to be trifled with. However, she came to provoke her and even ordered her to divorce Xue Yan.
Jiujiu didn't know what to say about Xue Yan's stepmother.
Even if she hadn't seen it, she should at least know the classic saying, "Don't bully a poor young man."
She looked like she wasn't someone to be bullied. She kept saying that she wanted a divorce, which really made her speechless.
Jiujiu didn't want Xue Yan to know that they were discussing whether she should get a divorce. She sat up from the sofa and walked to the balcony as she asked, "What can you do to me if I don't get a divorce?"
When Xue Yan's stepmother heard Jiujiu say that she wouldn't get a divorce, there was a moment of silence. Then, Jiujiu heard Xue Yan's stepmother say to her in a threatening tone, "You're in love with Xue Yan, aren't you?"
"So what if I am? So what if I'm not?"
"Let me tell you, Ruan Jiujiu, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to marry Xue Yan and live the life you have now. If you know what's good for you, divorce Xue Yan as soon as possible. I'll give you money and a house. I guarantee that you'll live a carefree life."
"What if I don't?"
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless." Xue Yan's stepmother's voice instantly became vicious when she heard Jiujiu's refusal. "Then don't blame me for telling Xue Yan about our collaboration. Tell me, if Xue Yan knows that you've worked with me before, will he still be willing to be with you?"
This threat could be said to be extremely vicious.
Back then, Ruan Jiujiu was afraid that Xue Yan would be in a dilemma, so she hung herself on the bed.
Yet now, Xue Yan's stepmother was using this to threaten him. Her intentions were truly murderous.
Unfortunately, Jiujiu was not Ruan Jiujiu. She responded to Xue Yan's stepmother's threat casually, "As far as I know, you don't have a good relationship with Xue Yan. Do you think Xue Yan will believe you if you tell him?"
Xue Yan's stepmother sneered. "I already knew that a little b * tch like you would betray me. There are recordings of our conversations. If you obediently divorce me, I will delete those recordings. If you don't want to divorce me, I will send those recordings to Xue Yan. Xue Yan is as noble as his b * tch mother. I want to see if the noble Xue Yan will want a little b * tch like you who got married for money."
After getting what she wanted, Jiujiu hurriedly pretended to be frightened. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Don't, don't send the recordings to Xue Yan."
Sensing Jiujiu's fear, Xue Yan's stepmother smiled smugly and said arrogantly, "If you don't want me to send the recordings to Xue Yan, then divorce him. Otherwise …"
Xue Yan's stepmother did not finish her sentence, but the threat was obvious.
Jiujiu's voice was like a quail whose feathers were wet from the rain. She replied in a trembling voice, "Give me a few more days. I want to say goodbye to Xue Yan properly. Is that okay?"
Xue Yan's stepmother was using Jiujiu's love for Xue Yan to threaten Jiujiu to divorce Xue Yan. Now that she heard that Jiujiu wanted to say goodbye to Xue Yan, she did not suspect anything. Instead, she nodded and agreed to Jiujiu's request.
After hanging up the phone, Jiujiu's face instantly darkened. She said to Steamed Bun, "Hack her recordings."
She wanted to see how Xue Yan's stepmother was going to threaten her without the recordings.
When Steamed Bun hacked the audio files that Xue Yan's stepmother had saved, Jiujiu also discovered some interesting things. For example, why did Xue Yan's stepmother spare no effort to get her to divorce Xue Yan?
Xue Yan's stepmother and Xue Yan's father were married for the second time, but unlike what outsiders thought, the two of them only got together three years after Xue Yan's mother passed away.
In fact, Xue Yan's stepmother and Xue Yan's father got together much earlier than anyone thought.
Xue Yan's father was a man who lost his job.
He was the only university student from the mountains. Before he went to university, he had always been proud of himself for being able to get into a university. After all, he was the only university student in the surrounding area.
However, when he went to school, his pride was broken bit by bit by reality and was crushed into powder.
His academic results were excellent in the mountains, but in a school full of talented people, he was only average. Even if he stayed up until midnight every night and woke up at six the next day to study, his academic results were still average. Moreover, his English always had a lingering accent. Even if he could quickly pass the fourth and sixth level, his accent could not be changed. Every time he stood up to answer a teacher's question, his classmates would burst into laughter.
He knew that the laughter was not malicious and was not directed at him, but every time it happened, he could not help but blush.
Moreover, the impact on his studies was not the only one. What hurt him the most was that he thought that after he graduated from university, he would find a good job, and he would be able to live a good life after making money.
However, reality told him that even if he graduated and found a good job, his monthly salary could not even buy a jacket.
All roads lead to Rome, but the problem was that some people were born in Rome.
Others were born at the finish line. What could he use to compare with others?
Xue Yan's father tried hard to tell himself to calm down and not be too calculative about these worldly possessions.
However, how could he not be calculative?
He studied hard and spent countless efforts to get out of the mountains and come to school. In the end, he was told that even if he left the mountains, he would still be the person living at the bottom of the ladder. How could he not feel despair?
In this despair, Xue Yan's father struggled through his four years of university. After graduation, he entered a company with excellent results and quickly became a good employee in the eyes of the manager.
He also got together with Xue Yan's stepmother, who had the same experience as him.
However, both of them were too poor, and because they were tired of life in the mountains, they both wanted to stay in the city.
However, the housing in the city was too expensive. With their company, even if they worked hard for a few more years, they could barely save enough money for the down payment. Later, Xue Yan's stepmother accidentally heard the employees discussing the identity of Xue Yan's mother. Then, she had an idea.
