Arms starts with hyenas in the Middle East

Chapter 524 Divorce
"Father-in-law, I am a businessman. As the saying goes, business is business. If there is enough profit, why shouldn't I do it?"

Sean would not back down in the face of Xia Guangyuan's questioning. After all, he was not an ordinary person. Meeting his father-in-law was like a mouse meeting a cat. To put it bluntly, his every word and action now could determine the life and death and circumstances of countless people. How could he possibly humble himself in front of someone?
Neither can my father-in-law!
"And I don't think I'm sorry to Xia Chu in this matter, and there's no harm. I'm just engaged to Fiona, and my purpose is to get the resource support of the Capet family, that's all. I've never been short of money for Xiao Liang Jing's child support and living expenses every month, and the standard is much higher than most families, enough to guarantee a comfortable life. All of this is brought by US dollars, isn't it?"

Whether he has children or a wife, Sean is still the same Sean. Profits above all else is ingrained in his bones, and nothing and no one can shake him.

"You are talking nonsense!" Xia Guangyuan slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide open: "Do you think Xia Chu will use your money? Do you think money can buy everything? Will you die if you earn less? Can't you survive if you develop slowly and steadily? Who doesn't like to make money? I like it too, but as a human being, you must have a bottom line, otherwise what's the difference between you and a beast?"

"Tsk!" Sean sneered, leaned back and leaned against the back of his chair: "I'm sorry, father-in-law, I'm a pure businessman. A pure businessman has no bottom line."

"Marx once said that if there is a 20% profit, capital will be ready to move; if there is a 50% profit, capital will take risks; if there is a 100% profit, capital will dare to risk being hanged; if there is a 300% profit, capital will dare to trample on everything in the world. Father-in-law, we are not the same kind of people, so please don't use your moral values ​​to apply to me."

Sean seemed to have an inexplicable flame dancing and burning, which made Xia Guangyuan's heart tremble. For a moment, he no longer had the heart to continue the conversation.

"Get out!"

Xia Guangyuan sat down on the chair and pointed at the door with his trembling hand.

Sean shrugged indifferently, stood up and left. Before leaving, he said without looking back: "Father-in-law, you are old, don't be so irritable, and take care of yourself."

After saying that, he pushed the door open, called him over and tortured him. He was not kind in words, and neither was his father-in-law!
After leaving the study, Sean no longer had the heart to stay any longer. He came back just to see little Liang Jing and talk things out with Xia Chu. He never expected to have a friendly exchange with Xia Guangyuan. Both of them were very stubborn and had very different outlooks. No one could convince the other and they would end up parting unhappily, just like now. After a few words, they wanted to roll up their sleeves and have a fight. What kind of friendly exchange was that? It didn't exist at all.

In the living room, Xia's mother was carrying the prepared dishes from the kitchen to the dining table. When she saw Sean coming out, she thought the two had talked it out. Although she was also quite dissatisfied with Sean's matter, she would not show it. After all, Xia Chu and Sean were not really divorced. And looking at Xia Chu's appearance, she seemed a little ambiguous. She was not sure what she was thinking. What exactly she would do depended on the two children. As a mother, it was certainly not the time for her to launch an attack.

So when facing Sean, she still responded with a smile, but she was not as enthusiastic as before.

But Sean naturally didn't care about it. After all, he only came back once a year or two, and the number of times they met was extremely limited.

"You guys have finished talking. Come on, Xiao Liang, sit down and eat. My dish is just ready."

Xia Mulan Ziyu said with a forced smile on her face.

"No need, mother-in-law. I came back today mainly to talk to Xia Chu about things, and to see little Liang Jing. Since she is not free today, I will leave first."

Sean shook his head and didn't plan to eat here. After all, both Xia Guangyuan and Xia's mother Lan Ziyu didn't like him now. There was no need for him to stay for a meal and get in the way. He didn't like to be looked down upon by others.

Click!

Sean was just about to open the door and push it out, but the door opened by itself from the outside. Looking closely, he saw Xia Chu standing at the door putting away the key, obviously having just returned.

"Liang Yi?" Xia Chu called out with some joy when she saw Xiao En, but then her expression immediately turned cold and she asked, "Have you finished seeing Liang Jing?"

Sean nodded: "Yeah, I've finished reading it."

Xia Chu said: "Now that you have finished reading it, do you have anything to say?"

Sean shrugged and said, "Walk together?"

"Okay."

After saying that, Xia Chu went in and put down the bag in her hand, and then the two of them went out together.

On the quiet road of Tianhe Lianlu Military District, the two walked quietly, neither of them wanted to speak first. Finally, Xia Chu couldn't help it anymore, stopped and shouted: "Liang Yi!"

"Yeah." Sean turned around and looked at Xia Chu, nodded and said, "I'm listening, just ask whatever you want to ask."

Xia Chu shook her head and said, "I don't want to ask anything. I don't care what happened between you and Fiona. After all, it has already happened. But don't you have anything you want to tell me?"

Sean frowned and asked, "What do you want me to say, or what do you want to hear?"

There was some anger in Xia Chu's eyes: "Me!"

"Fiona and I were indeed engaged. As for why I was engaged to her, I guess you know it. I was engaged to her purely for the resources of the Capet family, that's all. I did sleep with her, but so what?"

Sean stepped forward and leaned forward: "But so what? The group needs to develop, and the company needs profits. At that time, even if a little bit of the Capet family's resources flowed out from between my fingers, it would be enough for me to make a fortune. There was no reason for me not to do this. If I didn't do this and missed the opportunity, RFG would probably still be hovering in the third or second echelon in the world. It would take at least ten years to develop to its current scale. In fact, RFG is the greatest PMC group and military industrial group in the world. Every country wants to get enough weapons and equipment from me. Why? Because RFG Group's weapons and equipment are advanced enough!"

"So what?" Xia Chu was extremely angry when she heard this, and even had little pearls brewing in her eyes: "Have you never thought about me, or Xiao Liang Jing? You only care about the development of your group, and you have never considered the feelings of Xiao Liang Jing and me!"

When she said the last part, Xia Chu was already crying, with tears and snot all over her face. She looked so pitiful that anyone who heard about it felt sad and cried.

"Your father Xia Guangyuan asked me the same question just now. Do you want to know how I answered him?" Xia Chu sobbed with tears in her eyes, looking up at Sean: "How did I answer?"

"I told him that I'm a businessman, a pure businessman, so of course I have to do things that benefit me. I can't convince myself not to do so." Sean took out a silk scarf and reached out to help Xia Chu wipe away the tears and dirt on her face. His movements were gentle: "The Capet family's channels can help the group's products have more sales and more profits, and can also make profits faster and develop faster. Facts have proved that I was right."

"Moreover, over the past year or so, I have never owed Liang Jing's child support and your living expenses. I have never missed a payment every month, and there has never been a delay. So I don't think I did anything wrong. The only mistake I made was getting Fiona pregnant, that's all."

"Liang Yi!" Xia Chu slapped away Xiao En's hand that was covering her face and said stubbornly: "Is money the only thing you care about? There is so much money in the world, can you really earn it all?"

Sean shook his hands, not caring about being pushed away by the other party. He just said lightly: "I can't make all the money in the world, and no one can make all the money, but everyone is trying their best to make more, but in the end some people make less and some people make more. People who make less will comfort themselves by saying that they are content with what they have, while people who make more feel that it is not enough and they can make more. I will not be the hypocritical person who says that he is content with what he has, but is extremely envious of others' extravagant lives. I just want to be an ordinary, pure businessman, and I experience all the feelings by myself. Moreover, interests do not necessarily represent money. There are some things that are more important and more precious than money, such as power, and..."

Sean paused when he said this. The first thing he thought of was the big-headed monster that could control electromagnetic force. That guy was really scary.

If he could study it thoroughly and eventually come up with a method that could safely and perfectly allow people to have the same abilities, then the genetic deification plan would be accomplished. At that time, he would be the god of the new era. Whenever he wanted something, he would just need to wave his hands, and these things would come to him as if they had grown legs.

No one will refuse God's request!
"I think you are possessed!" Xia Chu's face flushed with anger. She didn't expect that this guy was unwilling to even lie to her. She had clearly told herself in her heart that as long as the other party said something nice, even if it was a lie to her, the matter with Fiona would be over. Even if not for herself, it was for little Liang Jing.

But now seeing Sean's attitude, he didn't even have the mood to coax her. It was only today that she realized that she had only just recognized Sean.

Profits first, ambitious!
That’s the best way to describe Sean!
He seemed to always have the motivation to climb upwards, and was not shaken in the slightest by external factors.

"There are quite a few people who are possessed. At least among the people I know, there should be more than one. But so what? Being possessed is a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times better than lamenting that life is content and happy!"

Xia Chu was furious when she heard Sean's words, but she couldn't refute it for a while. Finally, she had to end the topic and asked, "I heard later...something happened to Fiona's family?"

"Yes, they are all dead." Sean nodded. Not only did something happen, but he was the mastermind.

Xia Chu was somewhat conflicted about this question. She didn't want the other person to die, but she also hoped that the other person would be better off dead. She herself couldn't explain what was going on. She would never have thought of hoping that someone would be better off dead. "What about her? How is she?"

Sean naturally didn't know about Xia Chu's conflict, and he didn't intend to hide Fiona's affairs. "In the country, and gave birth to a daughter."

"In China..." Xia Chu frowned again and blurted out, "Yours?"

"Yes." Sean nodded: "Mine."

"..."

quiet!
Xia Chu was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but it felt like something was blocking his throat and he couldn't say anything.

"Let's...get a divorce. This will be good for both you and me."

In the end, Xia Chu still said this sentence. After saying it, her whole soul seemed to be sucked away, and tears flowed silently again.

"it is good."

There was no pleas to stay, no overbearing rejection, and even less any life-and-death struggle. There was only calmness, as if the slightly heavy topic of divorce could not leave a ripple in Sean's heart at all. In fact, after hearing Xia Chu actually mention the word "divorce", he felt a sense of blockage in his heart for a moment.

"Xiao Jing will not go abroad with you. I will never go abroad. China is the most suitable soil for children to grow up. I will not allow you to train him to be the next you!"

There were fresh tear marks on Xia Chu's face and her expression was stubborn.

"That's exactly what I meant. I never intended to bring him into a chaotic life. He wouldn't be suitable for me abroad, and I don't have the time to look after him."

Xia Chu's words hit the mark exactly on Sean's mind. Sean certainly had no objection to this and immediately added, "I will deposit the child support into the card on time every month."

Seeing that Xia Chu was about to refuse, Sean continued, "Don't refuse, and don't refuse. After all, this kid is my son. It's okay for him to stay with you, but his living standard must not be lowered."

Hearing this, Xia Chu couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Okay, that's it. Ask a lawyer to draft the divorce agreement and send it to me."

Both of them seemed extremely calm at this moment, as if they were not discussing a heavy topic like divorce at all, but rather a topic like "what to eat tonight", with almost no emotional fluctuations at all.

Sean would naturally not refuse Xia Chu's proposal for divorce. The situation between the two was already extremely tense, and with Fiona and Sean's daughter, this was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Xia Chu had no excuse to convince herself that she could continue to endure, so naturally the word "divorce" came out.
