After five years of a cold marriage, I can no longer hide the child I secretly gave birth to.

Tall floor-to-ceiling windows, dim and serious lighting, familiar office desks and chairs…

Xu Daikui was pushed through the door. When she saw her surroundings, she immediately turned around and said angrily, "Did Zhou Yanci send you to arrest me?"

This is clearly Zhou Yanci's office.

Because she exposed his pretense and told him she didn't like him anymore, he wanted to retaliate by imprisoning her like this?

A wave of fear washed over him, but then a dark shadow slowly loomed over him, and a man in a suit walked in.

"Daikui, it's been a long time."

Zhou Nianting looked at her with a forced smile.

"Someone, bring a seat for my daughter-in-law."

With a wave of his hand, he walked confidently to the desk and sat down in the seat that rightfully belonged to Zhou Yanci.

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

Xu Daikui had only met Zhou Nianting once, at her wedding with Zhou Yanci. At that time, when serving tea, she happily addressed him as "Dad."

Although they are not divorced yet, she can no longer call him "Dad".

Zhou Nianting didn't care about the form of address, and just smiled at her, "Sit down, Dai Kui."

Although he always had a smile on his face, his tone was that of a superior. Xu Daikui glanced at the seven or eight burly bodyguards behind her, then slowly walked over and sat down on his side with a restrained air.

"You've suffered because you married my good-for-nothing son."

Zhou Nianting politely asked someone to pour her another glass of water.

Xu Daikui clenched her fists tightly, trying her best to appear calm and composed. "It's okay, we're getting a divorce soon anyway."

"Yes, divorce is good, divorce is good! Everyone should get rid of that cancer, you should get away from it as soon as possible, your thinking is right."

When Zhou Nianting mentioned Zhou Yanci, it was as if he were discussing someone utterly detestable and heinous, without a trace of affection.

Xu Daikui finally understood why the slap mark on Zhou Yanci's face was so severe.

He truly showed him absolutely no fatherly affection.

Although her relationship with Zhou Yanci was over, she didn't trust Zhou Nianting much either.

Hearing him belittle Zhou Yanci like that, she felt that he was also losing face. After all, they were father and son, and he was no more noble than Zhou Yanci.

"Uncle, what do you want to see me about?"

She still had to pick up Xu Meng; school was already over, and she didn't have time to deal with him.

Zhou Nianting didn't beat around the bush and simply handed her a piece of paper.

"Dai Kui, you and that unfilial son are about to divorce. He owns 40% of the group's shares, and 10% of that was transferred to your name as a dowry. Are you aware of this?"

What?

Xu Daikui was shocked.

She remembered that when she got married, the Zhou family bought her five pieces of gold jewelry and offered to give Xu Guodong and Li Xuelan a dowry of five million yuan, which she strongly opposed.

Since she had no dowry to give to the Zhou family, she naturally didn't want their betrothal gifts either.

On one hand, she hated Xu Guodong and his wife, believing that they would never get a single benefit from her, even until their deaths.

On the other hand, it was because she loved Zhou Yanci, and her love was not tied to money or personal gain.

At that time, he was as wonderful as a god in her heart.

Moreover, at that time, she didn't want anything except Zhou Yanci's love; she firmly believed that she had the ability to make money.

Why would Zhou Yanci give her shares?

"That brat took it upon himself to handle this; didn't he mention it to you?"

Seeing her shocked expression, Zhou Nianting knew that she was unaware of the situation.

Xu Daikui shook her head.

On the eve of the wedding, when Zhou Yanci took her to buy a wedding ring, he did indeed mention it.

If she doesn't want a bride price, she can make other requests.

She only said one thing at the time: "Marrying you is my wish."

She remembered that when the man heard those words, his handsome face seemed quite pleased, and he touched her hair and said...

"Then I'll give it to you, I'll give you my most precious thing."

She was so naive at the time, her heart filled with sweetness upon hearing those words, mistakenly believing that the man was talking about himself.

So, on their wedding night, she took several showers, prepared a delicious late-night snack, and looked forward to seeing him with great anticipation.

...

It turns out that what he meant by "all" was not himself, but the shares.

So it seems that he did have feelings for her back then, and he didn't treat her unfairly. It was only after Xu Jiaojiao left the country heartbroken that he realized who his true love really was.

That's why he followed Xu Jiaojiao without hesitation on their wedding night.

He had feelings for her, but those feelings were not enough to compare with Xu Jiaojiao, his true love.

"Uncle, I really didn't know about this, but don't worry, I will return the shares to Zhou Yanci during the divorce. I can leave with nothing."

She thought that Zhou Nianting had gone to great lengths to abduct her because he was afraid she would take away the Zhou family's property.

Zhou Nianting smiled upon hearing this, "Dai Kui, you've been with that brat for five years. Even if he doesn't give you any divorce settlement, your uncle will compensate you out of his own pocket. But the group shares are of great importance, and you can't take them."

Xu Daikui nodded, "It's useless for me to have it, I won't take it with me."

"That's good."

Zhou Nianting smiled with satisfaction and pushed the voluntary relinquishment of shares in front of her.

"Then just sign this. Once you sign it, there will be no further involvement with the shares after your divorce."

Xu Daikui quickly glanced at the waiver, which meant that she was now voluntarily giving up her 10% stake in the company due to the divorce, with the group's heir as the beneficiary.

She had witnessed those dramatic changes in wealthy families.

The new heir to the Zhou Group is Zhou Yanqing.

She lowered her eyes and pushed the letter of resignation back to Zhou Nianting.

"I'm sorry, Uncle, I'll discuss the shares with Zhou Yanci on the day of the divorce. I can't sign this."

Even if she had a falling out with Zhou Yanci, there was no need for her to betray him.

She returns what she received to whoever gave it to her; there's nothing wrong with that.

"Dai Kui, these shares are useless to you. Do you intend to use them to continue your entanglement with Zhou Yanci?"

When Zhou Nianting saw that she was unwilling to sign, his expression immediately changed. "Let me tell you, Zhou Yanci is a heartless beast. He even cheated and schemed against his own father. He's the kind of ruthless person who doesn't care about his own family. If you show him any mercy, he'll only drag you into the cesspool."

"He had an affair with your sister while still married, and even wanted to get engaged. This kind of unfaithful beast, Xu Daikui, only a pushover like you can sit still. He has never treated you like a human being!"

Zhou Nianting slammed his fist on the table in a huff.

Xu Daikui knew, of course, that Zhou Yanci didn't treat her like a human being; she was sick of hearing about his filthy affair with Xu Jiaojiao.

My heart has long since become strong and will no longer feel pain for him.

She stood up, and when she looked up, her facial expression was already well-adjusted, and she looked at Zhou Nianting with a firm gaze.

"Here's what we'll do, Uncle. Zhou Yanci is unwilling to divorce me right now. If you can find a way to help us get a divorce smoothly, I can give you these shares."

"The day we got our divorce certificate was the day I signed it."

If the shares ultimately end up in Zhou Nianting's hands, then it's Zhou Yanci's own fault.

Who told him to drag his feet on getting a divorce?

He has been deceiving and delaying long enough.

After saying that, she ignored Zhou Nianting's drastically changed expression and walked outside.

How could Zhou Nianting not know that this woman was deliberately stalling?

How could he possibly persuade Zhou Yan to resign and obtain a divorce certificate?

The more he wants them to separate, the more that bastard child will oppose him.

But he has been a seasoned businessman for many years, how could he be so easily fooled by a woman?

Xu Daikui has to sign this waiver today, whether she likes it or not.

Seeing that the woman had reached the door, he quickly gave a wink to his bodyguards.

The bodyguards understood and immediately swarmed forward to grab Xu Daikui.

Xu Daikui was worried that no one would pick Mengmeng up after school, so she fought back fiercely.

Suddenly, her neck was grabbed by a strong force, and Zhou Nianting had already walked a few steps to her.

"You're asking for trouble, you idiot!"

"Give me a good lesson."

At his command, the bodyguards, looking menacing, were about to throw their fists...

"stop!"

At that moment, a tall and slender figure appeared at the doorway.
