Chapter 837 - 251: Then Don’t Wake Up!
Chen Yan smiled slightly, "Well, it depends on how much you’re willing to do for the goal of ’staying alive’."
"I..." Lu Xiuting’s eyes shifted, "I, I can give you all my money! I can get four million and a house from the divorce with Sisi’s father! I, I can give it all to you!"
Someone as selfish as Lu Xiuting would never be willing to die.
Previously, she was devastated at losing her wealthy life.
But now, faced with the end of her life, she’s put aside all thoughts of wealth and luxury! Now, her mind is filled with the fear of death.
"I don’t need money." Chen Yan shook his head, causing Lu Xiuting’s face to freeze.
But then, Lu Xiuting started pleading again.
"Chen Yan! Help me, please help Auntie!" Lu Xiuting’s eyes were full of pleading, "After all, I am Sisi’s mom! If I die, Sisi would be very sad too!"
After a pause, Lu Xiuting finally showed a bit of shrewdness, "Chen Yan, tell me, what do I need to do for you to save me? Since you woke me up, it means you’re not planning to just stand by, right! Tell me, what do you want me to do for you to agree to save my life?"
"I want Lu Sisi to have a happy, complete family." Chen Yan smiled faintly.
"..."
·
Lu Xiuting couldn’t help but open her mouth, then she smiled bitterly and said, "Chen Yan, you might not know, but the thing is, Sisi’s dad is determined to divorce me..."
"Then don’t get divorced." Chen Yan smiled slightly.
Lu Xiuting felt a bit helpless inside.
This, is it possible just because I say not to get divorced? That man is determined to...
Chen Yan said lightly, "If you’re determined to drag it out, can he conjure up a divorce certificate by himself?"
Lu Xiuting was stunned.
She instantly understood what Chen Yan meant.
The marriage laws in Dragon Country are actually... pretty screwed up.
With divorce, if one party is determined to drag it out and not accept it, then wanting to divorce is really not that easy.
As long as the party determined to drag it out hasn’t committed any fault!
At the same time, insisting that their feelings for the other party haven’t broken, that there’s still affection.
Then, a bizarre situation arises!
In such cases, even if the other party sues in court, the court in the first trial, will dismiss the divorce request with an eighty to ninety percent probability!
Just this move can drag it on for at least more than half a year.
Considering that from filing a lawsuit to the court, the court filing the case, collecting evidence, and then arranging a hearing date—it generally takes three to six months.
So, to complete a first trial, it takes about half a year.
In the first trial, there’s an eighty to ninety percent probability that the court will rule against the divorce.
Then, if the party wanting a divorce insists on appealing, it can take another three to six months before the second trial.
Dragging it this way to the second trial can take about a year.
And in the second trial, the probability of ruling against it is still very high—as long as Lu Xiuting is not at fault and persists that she still has feelings!
Under the spirit of Dragon Country’s marriage law and the principle of protecting women, there’s also a high chance of dismissing the divorce request.
The ideal situation is for Yang Jiaming to maintain a separated state from Lu Xiuting.
If they are separated for two years, the court will have sufficient grounds to determine that the relationship has completely broken, making divorce highly probable at that time.
All in all, it could drag on for two, even three years!
But...
"Chen Yan... Xiaochen, I understand your meaning. I can drag it on, but... will this work?" Lu Xiuting sighed helplessly, "Yang Jiaming is determined, and he already has someone else outside. Even if I drag it on and don’t divorce, he won’t be a loving husband to me, nor will he give Lu Sisi a happy, complete home, I..."
"I don’t demand that he truly loves you. Pretending is fine too." Chen Yan pouted, "I just want Lu Sisi to experience the parental love and the harmonious happiness of a complete family that she’s never felt from a young age."
Pretending is fine?
But...
"Yang Jiaming won’t agree to it."
"Then force him to agree." Chen Yan said coldly.
He really didn’t have much respect for Lu Sisi’s parents, in his view, neither of them, man or woman, were anything good.
"Xiaochen, I won’t hide it from you... Yang Jiaming, he has someone outside, and that woman is pregnant." Lu Xiuting gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I’m getting older, I miscarried my last pregnancy, and can’t have more children. And the Yang family has a tradition, they prefer the whole have-many-children-for-more-blessings thing. If the descendants have more children, when the family’s old man passes away, having one more child means getting an extra share of the inheritance.
So... the little slut outside is pregnant, and Yang Jiaming will marry her no matter what. I... I’m afraid I can’t stop him."
Chen Yan sneered, "If she’s pregnant, then let her have it, I didn’t plan on forcing him to abort the child—after all, it would also be Lu Sisi’s half-brother or sister, and I don’t want to do something that harms merit."
Then he laughed, "Just find a way to force him not to divorce, drag it out for a few years, make him cooperate a bit, at least when in front of Lu Sisi, pretend to be a good husband and father, and fake a harmonious relationship with you.
It doesn’t need to be 24/7 acting, just when meeting with Lu Sisi, let her feel it."
Lu Xiuting’s eyes were a bit absurd, "What are you trying to achieve by doing this?"
"Just think of it as me wanting to help Lu Sisi make up for her childhood regrets." Chen Yan said indifferently.
A tribulation, right?
The so-called tribulation, in terms of family, naturally means the destruction of the family, leading to death.
