After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

Not far behind Jiang Ye, Shen Qinghan was following at a leisurely pace in his black Maybach.

The car was well-heated, completely shutting out the freezing cold outside. Shen Qinghan sat in the driver's seat, his hands gripping the steering wheel, his face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water.

In the passenger seat, Gu Ziming was holding a wad of tissues, covering his still throbbing nose. Jiang Ye's punch had been extremely hard; although his nose wasn't broken, it was swollen high, making him look somewhat comical and disheveled with his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Qinghan, Jiang Ye has really gone mad this time. He actually dared to hit someone. He's just an uncultured barbarian!" Gu Ziming gasped for breath as he relentlessly tried to sow discord between Jiang Ye and the enemy.

Shen Qinghan didn't reply; her brows were furrowed, and her mind was in turmoil.

Just before leaving, the nanny, Aunt Liu, not only brought the household registration book and marriage certificate, but also the white envelope that Jiang Ye had left in the master bedroom drawer.

After getting into the car, Shen Qinghan immediately opened the envelope, and inside was indeed a signed divorce agreement.

To prevent Jiang Ye from playing any word games in the agreement, Shen Qinghan took a picture of the agreement while waiting at a traffic light and sent it to Lawyer Zhang of the Shen Group's legal department, asking him to review it immediately.

A short while later.

A WeChat voice notification tone came through the car's Bluetooth.

Shen Qinghan clicked play, and Attorney Zhang's professional and meticulous voice rang out in the carriage.

"Mr. Shen, I have carefully reviewed this divorce agreement. There are no legal traps, and the terms are very clear."

"The husband, Jiang Ye, voluntarily relinquishes his right to the division of all marital property. This includes the villa in the hilltop, all vehicles under your name, savings, and shares in the Shen Group. He will leave with absolutely nothing."

"Furthermore, regarding the custody of our daughter Shen Xinyu, the man voluntarily relinquishes his rights and entrusts her to you for upbringing. Moreover, the agreement specifically stipulates that the man, Jiang Ye, will deposit five thousand yuan into your account every month as child support for Shen Xinyu until she turns eighteen."

After listening to Attorney Zhang's voice message, Shen Qinghan slammed on the brakes, and the Maybach came to a sudden stop at the intersection.

She stared at the road ahead with disbelief, her eyes filled with incomprehension and shock.

Is he really leaving with nothing?

They're even giving up custody of their daughter? And they're even going to pay 5,000 yuan a month in child support?

How is that possible!

In Shen Qinghan's subconscious, Jiang Ye was a penniless man who coveted the Shen family's wealth and shamelessly clung to the rich. She always thought that the reason Jiang Ye made such a big scene today, even resorting to violence, was simply to extort more money or to use such extreme methods to get her attention and force her to change her mind.

But now, this legally binding agreement is like a resounding slap in the face, overturning all her previous assumptions.

"What exactly triggered him?" Shen Qinghan murmured to himself, a strange and inexplicable emotion welling up inside him.

Could it be that she really broke his heart by bringing Gu Ziming back to the bridal chamber last night and having him sleep in the master bedroom?

Thinking of this, Shen Qinghan tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly.

To be fair, it was indeed a bit much for her to bring another man home for the night before Jiang Ye had even officially signed the divorce papers.

After all, although Jiang Ye has been unambitious over the past seven years, he has been completely devoted to her and the family, and there is not a single fault with him.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Gu Ziming keenly noticed the change in Shen Qinghan's emotions.

He knew this woman too well: proud, arrogant, but also extremely concerned with her image. If she felt guilty towards Jiang Ye, the advantage he had painstakingly built up over the past six months could very well be lost.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Ziming's eyes, but he immediately put on a gentle and considerate expression.

"Qinghan, do you feel a little guilty that Jiang Ye left with nothing?" Gu Ziming sighed softly, his tone full of helplessness as if he were "thinking of you."

Shen Qinghan pursed her lips and remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Gu Ziming sneered and began his most proficient methods of manipulation and brainwashing: "Qinghan, you're just too kind and naive, which is why you were fooled by the petty tricks of such a lowly person."

"Think about it carefully, why did he dare to leave with nothing? Because he can't get a single penny from you! Before you got married, you forced him to sign an extremely strict prenuptial agreement. The Shen family's shares and villa are all your premarital property. Even if he sues in court, he won't get a single penny!"

"He knows he won't get anything, so he simply puts on a righteous act and offers to leave with nothing. This way, he can not only preserve his pitiful self-esteem, but also make you feel guilty, as if you've wronged him."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghan's brows twitched slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Ziming pressed his advantage, adding fuel to the fire: "And that five thousand yuan a month in child support? That's a joke! Qinghan, don't forget, Jiang Ye used to be your grandfather's driver. For the past seven years, he's been a full-time stay-at-home dad, without a single penny of income. Where would he get the money to pay child support?"

"He deliberately wrote this in to create a persona! He wanted you to think he was a responsible and principled man. But what's the reality? It's a classic case of playing hard to get! He's confident that after seeing this agreement, you'll soften, feel sorry for him, and then tear it up and beg him to come back!"

"Qinghan, you absolutely mustn't fall for his tricks! A man like him, incompetent yet cunning, is like a persistent leech. Once you soften your heart today, getting rid of him later will be as difficult as climbing to the heavens!"

Gu Ziming's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the slight sense of guilt that had just risen in Shen Qinghan's heart.

Yes!

Zi Mo is right!

Jiang Ye is a good-for-nothing who doesn't even have a proper job. How can he afford to pay child support for Xin Yu? He can't even support himself!

He's doing this out of spite, putting on an act! He's trying to manipulate me with this seemingly resolute approach, forcing me to bow down to him!

"How despicable!" Shen Qinghan cursed through gritted teeth. The trace of confusion in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by an even stronger sense of disgust and coldness.

She restarted the car, floored the accelerator, and the Maybach roared as it sped off towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Jiang Ye, since you want to play hard to get, then I'll grant your wish! Let's see how you handle things after you sign the papers!"
