Chapter 120

This time Shen Xun heard clearly.

Divorce certificate.

He walked into the house and frowned: "What divorce certificate?"

Shen Mu immediately pursed her lips, not daring to look her son in the eye.

Shen Fu gave Shen Mu a slight glance, very much blaming her for not having a lock on her mouth.

Shen Xun: "Last time you mentioned the marriage certificate, this time it's the divorce certificate, what do you mean?"

Shen Fu and Shen Mu originally planned to tell their son that he had divorced Jiang Lai after the bidding, but now the situation had changed, and it was all a mess; they didn't know how to speak at all.

Their son had just suffered a setback in his career, and poking out the divorce at this time would undoubtedly make things worse for him.

Shen Mu looked at Shen Fu silently, meaning for him to make a decision: to say it or not?

Of course, it had to be said; the certificate was already issued, and it couldn't be hidden forever.

They had to delay for a few days and pick a time to say it.

Shen Fu saw the exhaustion in his son's brows and said slowly: "My and your mother's divorce certificate."

Shen Mu's eyes widened.

How could they joke about such things!

"What?" Shen Xun was also stunned; how could so many things happen in one day!

Shen Fu continued: "Last time we took the marriage certificate to the Civil Affairs Bureau, wasn't there some activity? It was to handle the divorce."

Shen Mu listened to this, her temples throbbing, fearing it would become a real curse.

Could divorce be talked about casually?

Even if it was fake, it wouldn't do!

But she could do nothing about her husband; this family was always headed by the man.

Shen Xun clearly didn't believe it: "It's only been a few days, how could you get the divorce certificate so quickly? Why do you want to divorce?"

"We haven't gotten it yet, we are still in the cooling-off period. Just now your mother was worried about how to tell you when the time comes." Shen Fu lied without changing his expression. "As for why we reached this step, it's my and your mother's business."

Shen Xun let out a long sigh, clearly exhausted.

Shen Mu immediately said: "We haven't determined that we will definitely divorce yet, we are just cooling off."

She really needed to cool off.

Shen Xun sat on the sofa, lowering his eyes, already too tired to speak.

He had just dealt with Chairman Fu, and tomorrow he had to deal with the shareholders and appease the employees who had been busy for him during this time.

He couldn't contact Jiang Lai at all.

Shutong was still at the police station, and he didn't know the specific situation.

He heard that Ji Lao was so angry he was hospitalized, and as a junior, he had to go to the hospital to take a look.

He thought he could avoid the wind when he returned home, but his parents were still making a fuss about divorce at their age.

He threw out a sentence lightly: "You handle it yourselves, I'm going to take a bath."

After coming out of the bath, Shen Xun saw his parents still sitting on the sofa waiting for him; they must be asking about today's events.

He sat down and picked up some snacks and biscuits to fill his stomach.

If Jiang Lai were here, she definitely wouldn't let him go hungry.

Thinking that Jiang Lai had already blocked him and was nowhere to be found, he lost the mood to eat biscuits.

"Dad, Mom, you call Jiang Lai." He spoke before his father could ask.

Shen Mu frowned: "Why call her?"

Shen Xun was silent for a moment: "Today Ke Zhongyu made a big fuss about me and Shutong at the meeting, which led to my failure in bidding. Jiang Lai was also at the meeting today, and she must have heard some rumors and got angry. I can't contact her."

Shen Fu: "Do you know Jiang Lai's identity?"

Shen Xun nodded: "I didn't expect her to hide it so well. I only knew she was Old Cui's student, I didn't know she had this ability."

Shen Mu snorted: "She just didn't treat us as one of our own and hid it on purpose. Everyone is in scientific research; didn't Shutong also not hide it from us?"

"Mom." Shen Xun's tone was slightly displeased, "Jiang Lai signed a confidentiality agreement and didn't tell us, which is correct. She really couldn't mention it at all. Shutong and I went to the bureau today to cooperate with the investigation because of this. Shutong hasn't been released yet, and even Ji Lao was invited to cooperate with the investigation."

"What!" Shen Mu stood up with a start, pulled her son up to look him over, and asked with concern, "Are you okay? They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Damn it, what kind of evil had her Shen family encountered in the last month! Her daughter and son had both entered the bureau one after another.

Shen Xun: "No, I came out after it was cleared up."

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay. This—how could Shutong harm people?" Shen Mu looked unhappy.

Shen Xun didn't want to pay attention to his mother anymore. She was the one who was happy when Shutong leaked the news, and now she was the one who was unhappy.

Shen Xun looked at his father: "This is the reason for losing the bid."

Shen Fu frowned: "Lin Shutong didn't say anything specific, how could it make such a big noise?"

He remembered the person his son just mentioned.

"Ke Zhongyu."

"I underestimated his insidiousness." Shen Xun was thinking about Jiang Lai, "Dad, you call Jiang Lai."

Shen Fu took out his phone and dialed, but it was the same unavailable.

Shen Xun looked at his mother.

Shen Mu repeated the operation, with the same result.

Shen Xun still wanted his sister to contact her, but Shen Fu stopped him: "No need to call Xiao Xi to confirm, Jiang Lai has blocked our whole family."

The divorce certificate was already in hand, promising them after the bidding meeting.

Today's bidding meeting had ended, and Jiang Lai had fulfilled her promise.

Shen Xun, who still didn't know he was divorced, was full of confusion.

Jiang Lai could be angry at him, but why delete and block his parents too?

That was going too far.

Shen Xun didn't notice that his parents, who had always loved to pick on Jiang Lai, didn't scold her for her rudeness at this moment.

In the past, Shen Fu would have had a dark face and scolded Jiang Lai for being impolite, and also scolded his son for not being able to manage his wife, while Shen Mu would have cursed, saying whatever was ugly.

The couple was abnormally silent at this moment.

Shen Xun had experienced too many changes today and had many things on his mind, so his brain couldn't turn anymore.

"Tomorrow, after I finish the company's business, I will go find her and explain it clearly."

Shen Fu and Shen Mu didn't make a sound again.

"Isn't Shutong still in the police station? Are you not going to care?" Shen Mu felt that since the divorce was done, Jiang Lai wouldn't be filial to her parents-in-law before, and even less so now that she had status and position. It was better to match her son with Shutong.

Shen Xun: "I have Qiao Chuan watching, and I'm also looking for a lawyer."

Shen Fu tended to have his son chase Jiang Lai back; he shouldn't have gone to handle that divorce certificate!

He really regretted it so much.

"Notify the Lin family, they will have a way. Tomorrow, after finishing the company's business, go find Jiang Lai and explain everything clearly."

This time Shen Xun noticed the subtle change in his father's attitude toward Jiang Lai.

He looked surprised, and soon his eyes became firm.

"I know, I will find her as soon as I finish things."

"Hmm." Shen Fu patted his son's shoulder, and when he stood up, he gave Shen Mu a look, signaling her to go back to the room.

As soon as the door closed, the two argued.

Shen Mu: "What do you mean by that just now? You still intend to acknowledge Jiang Lai as a daughter-in-law? They are already divorced! Shutong has a family background, what does Jiang Lai have!"

Shen Fu: "You are a woman, what do you know?"
