Chapter 194: Divorce by Decree

Chapter 194

"The restaurant cannot be opened in a short period of time. There is a lot of preparation work to be done in the early stage. Without a year or two, it cannot be opened. By then, I will have given birth and I can manage it." Tan Xi Yuan said.

"Okay, that's settled then. Xiao Hui will handle the accounts and Xi Yuan will be responsible for procurement and personnel management. We will split the profits based on our investment each month, and you two will also receive a management salary. As for me, I will only be responsible for investing and not for management. I only need a share of the profits. Is this arrangement reasonable?" Gu Ya asked everyone.

"Agreed!" Chen Xiao Hui said.

"I have no objections," Tan Xi Yuan agreed.

Gu Ya turned to Li Man. "When you arrive, you can manage the store together with them, okay?"

"Sure," Li Man nodded.

"That's settled then. Let's raise a toast to the success of our business and to becoming strong businesswomen!" Gu Ya raised the juice in front of her and passionately declared.

"Cheers! Here's to the success of our business!"

The four glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

Tan Xi Yuan watched them perform quietly without saying a word. When the judge asked her, she asked her lawyer to list all the evidence of Lu Feng's infidelity, and then said, "His mistress is already pregnant. I have no feelings for him anymore. Please grant our divorce."

Tan Xi Yuan had prepared ample evidence, and no matter how much Lu Feng begged and cried, it was of no use. The court ruled on the spot: Tan Xi Yuan and Lu Feng's marriage had broken down irretrievably, and the wife Tan Xi Yuan was entitled to sixty percent of the couple's joint property.

Upon hearing this judgment, Lu Feng slumped in his chair.

If Tan Xi Yuan took sixty percent of the property, his company would really be finished.

The old lady was infuriated by the court's decision and cursed at Tan Xi Yuan, "You useless hen, why do you deserve to take so much of my son's property? You don't do anything, why should you get any money? Is there still justice in this world? This is robbery, this is stealing money. You must have colluded with each other. Yes, you must have colluded with each other!"

"The more the old lady spoke, the more convinced she became. She pointed her finger at the judge and cursed, 'You must have slept with my daughter-in-law, otherwise you wouldn't have made such a ruling. You are colluding together, adulterers! I hope you have a miserable life. You are plotting for wealth and causing harm...'

As the old lady continued her tirade, Lu Feng quickly covered her mouth and pleaded, 'Mom, please stop causing trouble. If you keep cursing, they might take you away!'

The judge was infuriated and left the courtroom after the verdict was announced.

Upon hearing the judgment, Tan Xi Yuan felt a wave of relief wash over him. It was finally over, truly over."
