The next morning, Liu's mother came out of the room.

As she passed the sofa, she paused, staring at the surface with a puzzled look: "Why is this sofa so wet?"

Just then, Pei Yu'an came out of the kitchen with breakfast and bumped into Liu's mother frowning at the water stains on the sofa.

The plate in his hand wobbled suddenly, and the hot milk almost spilled.

Her ears turned bright red, and she stammered, "Auntie! It's...it's because I accidentally knocked over the water glass this morning!"

Liu Yunshu, who had just finished washing up, happened to hear this and almost burst out laughing.

"Ah? Oh!" Mother Liu touched her chin thoughtfully.

"No wonder. Little Pei, you'd better be more careful next time."

Pei Yu'an nodded hurriedly, a thin layer of sweat beading on his back, his fingers unconsciously tightening around the plate: "Okay, okay, Auntie!"

"But Pei," Liu's mother muttered to herself, "how many glasses of water did you spill this morning...?"

The area affected by this water stain is far too large.

Just as Pei Yu'an was blushing and stammering, Liu Yunshu stepped forward to help him out.

"Xiao Pei, what did you make this morning? It smells delicious!"

Once the topic was diverted, Liu's mother's attention immediately shifted to breakfast, and she walked over with a smile.

"Wow, Xiao Pei can even make breakfast? Let me see what she made."

Seeing the golden fried eggs, soft toast, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and xiaolongbao on the plate.

Mother Liu's eyes lit up, and she patted Pei Yu'an's arm with a smile: "Wow, you have both Chinese and Western skills! What a capable child!"

Liu Yunshu crossed her arms and looked at him meaningfully, "Did you hear that? My mom praised you for being capable..."

Pei Yu'an's cheeks burned from Liu Yunshu's pointed words, and he almost dropped the plate in his hand. He could only lower his head and chuckle foolishly.

"I made fried eggs and toast, thinking that my aunt and uncle would like Chinese food, so I also went outside and bought soy milk and fried dough sticks."

At this moment, Mr. Liu also came out of the room. Seeing the sumptuous breakfast on the table, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and he said softly, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

The group sat around the dining table, the aroma of breakfast dispelling the lingering gloom of the previous night.

While drinking his soy milk, Liu's father looked at Liu Yunshu.

"I've already contacted a lawyer. We'll go to Chen Yu's place later. It would be best if we could resolve this privately. If he doesn't cooperate, we'll take legal action."

Liu Yunshu nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll do whatever Dad says."

Liu's father looked at Pei Yu'an and said, "Little Pei, you don't need to go. It would be too embarrassing if you ran into your mother."

Seeing that Pei Yu'an was about to say something, Liu's father waved his hand.

"I know you want to protect Yunshu, but this isn't good for your reputation. You should just stay at home."

Pei Yu'an pursed his lips, his eyes full of unease, but he still obediently nodded.

"Okay, then Uncle and Aunt, Sister Liu, please be careful in everything you do, and call me anytime if anything happens."

After the group finished their meal, they headed to the place where Chen Yu and Liu Yunshu had previously lived.

Chen Yu's mother opened the door, and her face instantly lit up with a smile when she saw the Liu family of three.

They warmly welcomed the guests in, repeatedly saying, "Oh, it's our in-laws! Please have a seat."

Liu's mother remained calm, merely nodding slightly.

Mr. Liu sat down on the sofa and looked directly at Mrs. Chen: "Where's Chen Yu?"

Chen's mother, who was about to pour water, paused: "Ayu has gone to work; he's been busy with the project lately."

He then went to the kitchen to pour water.

When she returned, Mr. Liu frowned slightly, and his tone became a bit somber.

"Then it's the same as telling you. We're here today because of Yun Shu and Chen Yu's divorce."

"Divorce?" Chen's mother's hand holding the water glass trembled violently, spilling most of the water on the floor.

Her smile froze instantly, and she looked at Liu Yunshu in disbelief.

"My dear in-laws, you can't joke like that! Yun Shu and A Yu are doing so well, why are they getting a divorce?"

Could it be that Ah Yu's affair has been discovered?! Oh no! What do we do now?!

Liu Yunshu raised her eyes, her gaze as cold as ice, her tone calm yet resolute:

"Aunt Chen, we're not joking. Chen Yu cheated on you during our marriage, and we've collected all the evidence. We're here today to talk to you about the divorce."

"Adultery?!" Chen's mother's face turned pale instantly, but she waved her hand, trying to appear calm.

"Impossible! Yunshu, you must have misunderstood. Ayu is the most honest boy, how could he do such a thing?"

As she spoke, she secretly observed Liu Yunshu's expression, her heart already in a state of panic.

Mr. Liu pulled a stack of documents from his briefcase and slammed them onto the coffee table with a frighteningly deep sound.

"A misunderstanding? Are all these transfer records, chat logs, and intimate photos of him and the third party fake?"

The documents were scattered, and the top photo was a picture of Chen Yu and Ye Yuwei walking into the hotel arm in arm, so clear it was almost blinding.

When Chen's mother glanced at the person in the photo, her pupils contracted sharply, and the explanation she was about to give caught in her throat. Her face turned even more pale.

This has actually been discovered! Oh dear!

She quickly pulled out her phone, her voice trembling as she dialed Chen Yu's number, her tone filled with panic: "Yu! Come back right now! Something's happened at home!"

She quickly whispered the story to him.

Liu Yunshu gently stroked the armrest of the sofa with her fingertips, her gaze sweeping over the familiar furnishings in the living room.

The warmth of the past is now nothing but a glaring irony.

She didn't speak, but waited quietly for Chen Yu to return, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

Within ten minutes, hurried footsteps could be heard at the door.

Chen Yu pushed open the door and entered. Upon seeing the Liu family of three, his face instantly turned pale, and his eyes darted nervously between their faces.

Finally, my gaze settled on the documents on the coffee table, and my legs went weak.

"Dad, Mom, Yunshu..."

He tried to appear calm, but dared not take a single step closer to the sofa.

"Don't call me Dad!" Mr. Liu suddenly stood up, pointing at the documents and angrily questioning.

"Look at the mess you've made! You cheated on your spouse and used marital assets to support your mistress. How dare you call me 'Dad'!"

Chen Yu's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and his lips trembled.

"I...I didn't mean it, Yunshu, please let me explain, we were just confused for a moment..."

"A moment of confusion?" Liu Yunshu finally spoke, the chill in her tone sending a shiver down Chen Yu's spine.

"You both know what you did while you were in the bathroom during our last get-together."

Chen Yu froze, his face turning as white as paper.

The scene from the last dinner party suddenly flashed into his mind. He never expected that such a secretive act would be discovered.

He hurriedly stepped forward to take Liu Yunshu's hand, but she abruptly avoided him. The disgust in her eyes pierced his heart like needles.

"Yun Shu, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

He fell to his knees with a thud, his voice trembling with sobs.

"Please give me another chance? I'll cut all ties with her immediately and never contact her again!"

Chen's mother quickly chimed in, "Yes, Yunshu, Ayu knows he was wrong, please forgive him this time! Every couple has disagreements, but you still have to make the best of a life together!"

Mother Liu was furious upon hearing this and pointed at Chen Yu, angrily rebuking him:

"Now you know you were wrong? Where were you before! When you made those promises to Yun Shu, why didn't you think this day would come? Can this kind of thing be forgiven?"

Mr. Liu looked coldly at Chen Yu on the ground, his tone devoid of any warmth:

"Enough with the nonsense. We've already drafted the divorce agreement, including the property division plan. You either sign it, or we'll see you in court."

He paused, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Let me remind you, the evidence of your extramarital affair is sufficient. If it really goes to court, you won't get any advantage."

Chen Yu slumped to the ground, his hands buried in his hair, his face filled with despair.

He knew that at this point, no amount of pleading would be of any use.

But the thought of dividing the property made him unwilling, and he looked up at Liu Yunshu, still wanting to make a last-ditch effort.

"Yun Shu, can we discuss the property again? That money..."

"There's nothing to discuss."

Liu Yunshu interrupted him, her tone resolute.

"If you're decisive, your job won't be affected. But if it goes to court and your affair becomes known throughout the company, you can't blame anyone else if you lose your job."

These words struck a nerve with Chen Yu, who was at a crucial stage in his career advancement at the company.

If this gets out, forget about getting a promotion, it'll be hard to even keep my job.

His face turned pale and then red. After struggling for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I'll sign."

Mr. Liu took out a divorce agreement and a pen from his briefcase and threw them in front of him: "Take a look at the terms. If there are no problems, sign and put your fingerprints on them."

Chen Yu picked up the agreement with trembling hands and quickly scanned it.

In terms of property division, Liu Yunshu took 70% of her premarital property and marital property.

The remaining 30% was his, which was already a concession from the Liu family, but he was still trembling with heartache and dared not utter a single objection.

"I'll sign." He gritted his teeth, signed his name on the agreement, and pressed his fingerprint.

Liu Yunshu picked up the signed agreement, read it carefully, and put it away after confirming that there were no errors.

"Remember to come to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and get the paperwork done." Liu Yunshu put the agreement away and glanced at Chen Yu.

Mr. Liu stood up and gave Chen Yu, who was slumped on the ground, a cold glance.

"It's best that the matter is resolved. May we both live our lives peacefully from now on, and don't bother Yunshu anymore."

Chen's mother wanted to say something more, but seeing the resolute backs of the three members of the Liu family, she ultimately swallowed her words.

She could only sigh in her heart, how a perfectly good marriage had been ruined.
