In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

Chen Hai remained silent for a moment. He could sense that Hou Liangping had indeed changed, but he was caught in a dilemma. Was it that he didn't want to? No, it was that he was already deeply mired in the mire.

In perfect harmony, the two temporarily put aside their grudges and drank one cup after another until they were drunk.

Just as the event was about to end, a clean-cut college student wearing a helmet and riding a small electric scooter stopped next to the two of them.

As soon as the girl waved, Hou Liangping smiled and put down his glass, looking at Chen Hai and saying, "My girlfriend is here to pick me up. Remember to pay for the drinks. I'll treat you next time."

After saying that, Hou Liangping quickly walked over to the girl, sat down behind her, put his arms around her waist, and left quickly.

Chen Hai stared blankly in the direction Hou Liangping had left. If there was anything about Hou Liangping that he could envy at this moment, it was that Hou Liangping had someone who cared for him!

"Right and wrong, success and failure, all turn to nothing in the end..."

Muttering to himself, Chen Hai laughed and cried intermittently. He was somewhat lost. What was the point of trying so hard to climb up the ladder?

The next morning, Chen Hai returned home. On Saturday, he did not go to work at the district government, but instead sat calmly on the sofa, quietly watching Mao Ya's room.

Until Maoya opened the door to the room.

Mao Ya frowned the moment she saw Chen Hai.

"I thought you weren't coming back."

"Even though he came back, it's as if he didn't come back at all."

"What do you mean?"

"This is the divorce agreement. Please sign it."

Chen Hai pointed to the divorce agreement on the table, and Mao Ya immediately flew into a rage.

"You want a divorce? We've only been married a few days and you want a divorce? I don't agree! Let me tell you, I'm pregnant right now, even if we go to court, you won't be able to get a divorce!"

Chen Hai shook his head calmly.

"Whether we get a divorce or not is just a matter of waiting a year. I can afford to wait. This marriage is definitely getting a divorce!"

Chapter 244 Old Deer vs. Hungry Wolf

Seeing Chen Hai's resolute attitude, Mao Ya felt a great sense of panic, and then took a deep breath.

"Chen Hai, you know very well that the child in my belly is most likely yours. You want to divorce me simply because you think I'm old and unattractive and not good enough for you."

"Okay, why don't you call Wang Dalu over tonight, and the three of us can sit down and have a proper talk? It's not impossible for me to go to the hospital for testing, but we need to discuss it first, right?"

Mao Ya's sudden softening of attitude gradually calmed the conflict, and Chen Hai did not continue to press the matter.

After nodding, he called Wang Dalu.

"Hey Mr. Wang, Mao Ya has agreed, but we need you to sit down and have a proper talk with her."

Wang Dalu frowned upon hearing this on the other end of the phone.

Based on his understanding of Mao Ya, it was impossible for this woman to agree to the test so easily.

However, considering Chen Hai's identity...

Wang Dalu shook his head again. Perhaps he was overthinking it. Could other officials use the same methods as him?

Only after Chen Hai left did Mao Ya look at his back with a sinister gaze, and only after the door was closed did she let out a soft sigh.

"Chen Hai, Wang Dalu, if you're heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too. I've already divorced Yi Xuexi. I'm going all in; I don't want to keep losing!"

8 PM.

Chen Hai and Wang Dalu returned together. When they opened the door, the table was already full of dishes.

"You're back? Please have a seat. We need to have a serious talk."

Mao Ya appeared quite carefree, which sent alarm bells ringing in Wang Dalu's mind. But he was already here...

He still forced himself to sit down, and Chen Hai sat in the middle. The three of them sat at the table in this strange way.

"Have a few bites of food first. My cooking is pretty good, it's just that some people don't appreciate it. They actually want to divorce me?"

These words were naturally meant for Chen Hai, but Chen Hai remained expressionless and pretended not to hear them.

"Xiaoya, thank you for your hospitality, but there are some things we should clarify. You are pregnant now, and to be honest, we need to find out who the father of the child is."

If you're Wang Dalu's child, don't worry. Although I won't marry you, I'll cover all the expenses for the child's future, including leaving a portion of the company's shares to the child. I absolutely won't let you suffer.

This statement seems reasonable, but all the topics revolve around only one thing: the child. So what about her?

What guarantees can she get?

Mao Ya was inwardly dismissive, but outwardly she still put on a very touched expression.

“Mainland, I trust your character. If this child is truly yours, I believe you will take full responsibility!”

After speaking, Mao Ya looked at Chen Hai again.

"Chen Hai, Wang Dalu has already made his stance clear, what about you?"

Chen Hai put down his chopsticks and looked calmly at Mao Ya, saying, "If the child is mine, I will give half of my monthly salary and bonus as child support after the divorce."

"Ha, in the end, you still want a divorce from me."

You men are so heartless!

Neither Chen Hai nor Wang Dalu responded to this.

"Fine, I'll just say you were blinded by greed and your hearts were clouded by lard. I'm just unlucky to have met the two of you."

After saying that, Mao Ya got up, went to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine, and returned to the table.

"Chen Hai, Dalu, let's have a drink. Let's get drunk and forget our troubles. I want to get really drunk."

"Um, Xiaoya, this isn't good for the child..."

"The baby? It's nothing, only two or three weeks old. A little red wine won't affect the baby's development. What? You guys aren't even willing to have a drink with me now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dalu softened a little.

Chen Hai and Chen Hai exchanged a glance, then the two opened a bottle of red wine, and the three of them started drinking, one glass after another.

One bottle, two bottles, until all the red wine in the wine cabinet was gone, the three of them had rosy complexions and were full of energy.

The three of them lay on the sofa, half-drunk and half-awake.

"Strange, why do I feel getting hotter and hotter?"

As they spoke, Wang Dalu tugged at his shirt, and Chen Hai, whose face was also flushed, said, "I feel hot too, Mr. Wang. Maybe you drank too much just now."

Neither of them noticed the smug look that flashed in Mao Ya's eyes, which were also bloodshot and red.

It wasn't until Chen Hai and Wang Dalu felt increasingly hot that they realized something was wrong.

Turning to look at Mao Ya, I saw that Mao Ya's entire body was completely blank.

Only now do Chen Hai and Wang Dalu realize that they have been drugged by Mao Ya.

Moreover, Mao Ya is also very ruthless to herself; when she takes drugs, she doesn't even spare herself.

The hungry wolf quickly set its sights on its prey.

But the old deer held its own against the two hungry wolves.

Just as one of the hungry wolves was eating the meat.

The other wolf, already in a frenzy, bit down on the first wolf.

The next morning, Chen Hai's house was in complete disarray.

Chen Hai was vomiting incessantly in the bathroom, while Wang Dalu was clutching his buttocks, his forehead covered in sweat, his eyes icy cold.

"Mao Ya! How dare you scheme against us like this!"

Have you considered that your actions might provoke our relentless retaliation?

Mao Ya smiled faintly, not caring at all.

She forced herself to stand up, then stuck out her belly and said, "Wang Dalu, don't forget, I'm still pregnant. If you've got the guts, come and get your revenge on me!"

"If you're heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless. You know I, Maoya, have never been one to be easily manipulated!"

These words made Wang Dalu tremble with anger.

"Also, I have a backup of last night's video. You think you can just kick me out? No way!"

"If I release this video, Wang Dalu, your company's stock price probably won't hold up, right? And Chen Hai, he can forget about his position as the head of Guangming District!"

Chen Hai's legs were still a little weak when he came out of the bathroom. He looked at Mao Ya with a sinister gaze, and then looked at Wang Dalu with a complicated expression. Last night was definitely the darkest moment of his life.

"Maoya! Tell me, what do you want? You're a smart person, you just want to fight for your own interests."

Chen Hai's words made Mao Ya very proud.

"What do you want? It's simple! Wang Dalu, you give me a hundred or two hundred million as childcare expenses. Chen Hai, you're the district head, you don't have much money in your pocket, but don't even think about divorcing me!"

From now on, the child in my belly will be the child of both of you. Whether you acknowledge it or not, you have to be responsible for this child and for me to the end!

Otherwise, we'll all perish together, becoming infamous and ridiculed in Handong!

Chapter 245 The fish died, but the net remained intact.

"you!"

Chen Hai and Wang Dalu were both amused and exasperated; they felt like they were being taken advantage of.

"You viper! Mao Ya, I never thought you had such abilities. But threatening me, Wang Dalu, is wishful thinking. Do you think a businessman like me is afraid of you?"

"Go ahead and make your money if you dare. At worst, I'll just leave Handong. The world is vast; I, Wang Dalu, can live a carefree life with my current assets!"

After saying that, Wang Dalu got up, clutching his backside, and slammed the door shut as he left, leaving Chen Hai to quietly look at Mao Ya.

"You hate us that much?"

Chen Hai didn't question her hysterically; he simply looked at Mao Ya calmly, while Mao Ya's heart tightened.

"What do you mean? Chen Hai, don't you want your district chief position anymore?"

Chen Hai shook his head.

“I’m not suited to be the district head. My abilities are limited. What you did might make me lose face if it gets out, but you seem to have forgotten that I, Chen Hai, already have a terrible reputation in Handong. What you did was very foolish!”
