Chapter 381 Two Divorce Agreements
Chapter 381 Two Divorce Agreements
"Mom! Do you really have to be so ruthless?"
Looking at her mother's indifferent face, Madam Qin felt as if her heart had been clenched, and her voice was full of pain.
Only today did she fully understand that her mother had never cared about her, nor about her father, but only about the long-dead Shen Pian'an and his son Shen Yunzhong.
“This is between your father and me, it has nothing to do with you, so stop meddling.”
Madam Qin didn't even lift her eyelids, her tone was as indifferent as if she were talking about a stranger, and there was not a trace of reluctance for her daughter in her eyes.
As Old Master Qin watched this scene unfold, he slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the anger in his eyes had long since faded, leaving only silence.
A person's heart will eventually be worn down by repeated hurt.
"Okay, I agree to the divorce." His voice was calm and even, yet it carried an undeniable firmness. "I can give you half of the family property, but I have one condition."
He turned his gaze to Shen Yunzhong, his tone icy: "Shen Yunzhong must divorce my daughter immediately. He is not allowed to harass her again for any reason, and he is not allowed to have any more designs on the Qin family."
Ultimately, he was filled with guilt towards his daughter. If it weren't for Old Madam Qin's interference, his daughter wouldn't have been so blind as to marry someone like Shen Yunzhong.
As for whether Shen Yunzhong's approach to his daughter was driven by past grievances, he was too lazy to investigate.
"Dad!" Mrs. Qin was shocked, tears welling up instantly. "You can't do this! I really want a divorce, but I can't let you give up half of the Qin family's assets for me!"
However, Shen Yunzhong and Madam Qin were overjoyed. They exchanged a glance and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
With half of the Qin family's assets already acquired, keeping Madam Qin as a "stepping stone" has long lost its meaning.
Shen Yunzhong didn't care about Madam Qin at all. Anyway, he already had Qin Fang, so even if they divorced, he wouldn't lose anything.
"I agree!" Shen Yunzhong said immediately, his tone urgent, afraid that Old Master Qin would change his mind. "I will get a divorce now and will never bother my in-laws again!"
Seeing her father's resolute expression and then looking at the unmoved Shen Yunzhong, Madam Qin could only turn to Qin Shi, pleading with her last glimmer of hope: "Shi, please persuade your grandfather! We can't let him do this!"
Qin Shi hesitated for a moment, his gaze sweeping over his mother's red eyes, then looking at the weariness in his grandfather's eyes, and finally slowly nodded: "I respect Grandpa's wishes."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his phone and immediately contacted Qin's legal counsel.
Within ten minutes, two draft divorce agreements were delivered, one for Old Master Qin and Old Madam Qin, and the other for Madam Qin and Shen Yunzhong.
The four people signed the agreement, severing decades of entanglement between them.
"From this day forward, you will have absolutely no connection with the Qin family." Old Master Qin picked up the signed agreement, glanced at Old Madam Qin, and spoke without a trace of regret.
Just then, Madam Qin took a deep breath, took out another document from her bag, and handed it to Old Madam Qin. It was a newly written "Letter of Severance of Relationship".
Madam Qin was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting her usually docile daughter to dare to do such a thing.
But then she thought that since Shen Yunzhong would take care of her in the future, it wouldn't matter whether she had this daughter or not. So she immediately picked up a pen and signed her name without hesitation, completely severing the last thread of connection between mother and daughter.
"The divorce papers are all signed, you should leave now. This is my home now."
Old Madam Qin took the two signed documents, casually placed them on the cabinet beside her, her tone full of smugness, and waved her hand as if to shoo them away.
She had already planned it out in her mind. Tomorrow morning, she would bring a lawyer to handle the property transfer, transferring the apartment and her half of the Qin family's assets to Shen Yunzhong's name.
"Wait a minute."
Just as the group was about to turn around, Qin Shi suddenly stepped forward and blocked Shen Yunzhong's path, his aura instantly dropping. "Your matter is settled. Now, it's our turn to settle accounts."
Shen Yunzhong was still basking in the euphoria of "getting half of the family fortune" when he heard this, his face immediately darkened: "What do you want to do? I'm your father!"
"You attempted to murder my grandfather. The evidence is conclusive, and I have already called the police." Qin Shi's voice was devoid of any warmth. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and several uniformed police officers from the Security Bureau pushed the door open and walked in, their expressions serious.
Qin Shi turned around and handed over what he had prepared beforehand, which contained the medicine bottle that Shen Yunzhong had planned to use to poison Old Master Qin that night.
There are also videos that Yan Lan had previously filmed and recorded of his crime-solving process, each of which is irrefutable evidence.
"Release Yun Zhong! Don't arrest him!"
Seeing this, Old Madam Qin turned pale with anger, pounding her cane on the floor with a "thud," but the police officers were unmoved and stepped forward to grab Shen Yunzhong's wrist.
Shen Yunzhong struggled and roared, "I didn't! That's a special medicine! You can't arrest me!"
No matter how they tried to explain, it couldn't withstand the irrefutable evidence before them.
The police officers escorted him straight out the door. Shen Yunzhong's roars grew fainter and fainter until they disappeared outside the apartment building.
Looking at the empty doorway, Madam Qin's cane slipped from her hand and fell heavily to the ground. She staggered and almost fell again.
"Grandpa, let's go."
Qin Shi and his wife supported Old Master Qin on either side, carefully avoiding the scattered pills on the ground, and slowly walked towards the apartment door.
Old Master Qin had only taken two steps when he turned back to look at Yan Lan, who was following behind him, his voice full of gratitude: "Yan girl, we owe you so much for today, thank you so much."
As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Qin Shi beside him out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but raise his foot and kick Qin Shi, with a hint of annoyance.
"Why are you helping this old man? I'm perfectly fine. It's so late, go and take Yan'er home!"
The thought of his good-for-nothing grandson losing such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law as Yan Lan during the years he was in a coma made Old Master Qin feel a tightness in his chest, and his blood pressure spiked again. He abruptly shook off Qin Shi's hand, frowned, and glared at him with eyes full of disgust, as if he were looking at something filthy.
Seeing this, Yan Lan quickly stepped forward to try and smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Grandpa, please don't be angry. I have my own car, you don't need to trouble yourself to take me..."
Before she could finish speaking, Old Master Qin pulled Madam Qin quickly to the car, opened the door, and got in. He left with only the words "Let's go," and the car slowly drove away.
Yan Lan was left standing there, watching the taillights of the departing car, and then looking at Qin Shi beside her, who had a helpless expression on his face.
Yan Lan didn't look at Qin Shi again, turned around and walked to the parking lot next to her. A short while later, she came out pushing a black motorcycle.
The motorcycle had clean lines and a faint metallic sheen; it was the same motorcycle Qin Shi had seen that night.
This Xingzhou apartment complex is a top-tier luxury residential area, and at this time of day, it's impossible to hail a taxi; riding a motorcycle is actually the most convenient option.
She had just stepped onto the bike and adjusted her helmet when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.
Looking back, Qin Shi had actually followed her quickly, still holding the medical kit she had left in the ward. He stood by the motorcycle, his gaze fixed on her, saying nothing but showing no intention of leaving.
