Chapter 1002: Wanting a Divorce, the Marriage Certificate is Burned

Aside from the children, she does not want the house.

She only wants one hundred thousand yuan in assets as an education fund after the divorce.

Gu Zhihao does not agree; he refuses to agree no matter what.

After a few days of a standoff, seeing that his wife still had not changed her mind, he called his father-in-law: "Dad, Yuke is dead set on divorcing me. Could you please try to persuade her again?"

Shi Yucheng was furious; he had originally thought his daughter had been persuaded by him, but it turned out she hadn't.

He assured his son-in-law: "Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I won't let her get her way. This stubborn girl is going to be the death of me."

"Dad, please don't get upset, your health is what matters. Also, don't push her too hard. If it's impossible... I'll accept my fate."

Even at a time like this, the son-in-law didn't say a single harsh word and was still thinking of the two of them, father and daughter.

Shi Yucheng swore to his son-in-law that he should rest assured, saying that Yuke would definitely change her mind!

He went home prepared to have a serious talk with his daughter again. Shi Yucheng said to his daughter: "If you insist on divorcing Zhihao, then break off our father-daughter relationship. I acknowledge my son-in-law, not my daughter." This was his trump card.

"Fine."

Shi Yuke actually agreed!

"You..."

Shi Yucheng was anxious and angry; his blood pressure soared, and he nearly fainted.

Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital for timely treatment, so a tragedy was averted!

With her husband having high blood pressure because of her eldest daughter, Ji Yingjie could no longer sit idly by.

Although she could not go out while in her postpartum confinement, it didn't mean she couldn't do anything.

Ji Yingjie ordered Nianyin: "Go tell that blockhead, is wanting to not divorce simple? Just burn the marriage certificate and the household registration book, and that's the end of the divorce."

Nianyin accepted the order.

When Gu Zhihao received Nianyin's call, he didn't dare answer the first time, nor the second, but he didn't dare turn off his phone and ignore it completely either, so he just watched it ring.

He had brought his father-in-law in to be a lobbyist, and then the man had gotten sick from anger in his house; he was afraid Ji Yingjie would come to settle the score with him.

But even if he didn't answer, the ringtone kept ringing stubbornly over and over.

Three times.

Four times.

When the ringtone sounded for the fifth time, he had to answer it.

If he didn't answer, that woman would definitely come over and kill him!

The women of the Ji Family cannot be provoked; they are too fierce!

He braced himself and answered: "You, is something the matter?"

"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone? I thought you were dead. If you didn't answer, I was prepared to bring Yulong and Meiyin over to collect your corpse..." Nianyin didn't say a single nice thing; she just erupted in a fit of rage!

No matter how soft-tempered Gu Zhihao was, he didn't want to endure this anymore.

He said crossly: "Do you have any real business? If you have something to say, say it; if not, I'm hanging up."

"I do."

Nianyin: "Jinfengyuan Seafood Restaurant, see you in half an hour."

Gu Zhihao: "You can just say what you need to say over the phone, or come to the house. Why go to some seafood restaurant? I can't find it."

Jinfengyuan Seafood Restaurant was famous in Jiangzhou; the seafood was large and good, the chefs were highly skilled, the service staff were enthusiastic and patient, and the decor was magnificent... the only drawback was that it was expensive.

Actually, he wanted to say: Why go to a seafood restaurant? It's so expensive!

But he changed his words at the last second.

"I heard Shi Yuke wants to divorce you. I have a way to help you not get divorced. If you want to hear it, come over; if you don't, forget it."

"Where? I want to hear it, I want to hear it, I really want to hear it."

"I've sent the address to your phone."

Twenty minutes later.

Gu Zhihao arrived by car.

He had a car at home, but he usually felt the gas was too expensive and didn't drive it often; he would take the bus or subway whenever possible and rarely drove.

"Over here."

Nianyin was sitting by the window and waved at him.

Gu Zhihao felt uneasy in such a high-end restaurant and kept looking around, thinking that the cost here must not be cheap.

The last time he had been to such a high-class place was when he brought Shi Yuke; that meal had almost made his heart ache enough to faint!

"Hey! What are you looking around shiftily for?" Nianyin reached out and waved in front of his eyes.

"How much does a meal cost here?"

Nianyin: "Just eating casually, maybe three or five thousand."

He thought for a moment, then said firmly: "Fine, order whatever you want, this meal is on me."

Nianyin:...

Originally, she had asked Gu Zhihao to meet here to take the opportunity to tease him.

But she hadn't expected that before she could even start, he had walked right into the trap!

Nianyin teased: "Yo, did the sun rise from the west today?"

"Since you told me to order whatever I want, don't you go regretting it."

Gu Zhihao: "I won't regret it. As long as you have a way to keep Yuke from leaving me, what's one meal? After it's done, I... will treat you to another one!"

He looked like he had made a great resolution, but it turned out to be just treating her to one more meal.

But Nianyin knew this was already the limit of what he could do.

Gu Zhihao was famously stingy, only willing to spend money on his wife. Since he had finally been "generous" for once, if she didn't take him for all he was worth, she would be letting herself down.

"Fine, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Nianyin picked up the menu: "Salted egg yolk baked lobster, steamed abalone with crab flavor, French king crab, Mediterranean Caviar..."

Every time she read the name of a dish, Gu Zhihao's heart rate accelerated by twenty beats!

By the time she read the sixth dish, he finally couldn't help but call a halt: "Enough, there are only two of us, can you finish eating so much?"

"I think ordering two dishes is enough, I, I'm not hungry!"

Nianyin glared: "I'm hungry! I haven't eaten for several days just waiting to have a big meal today, what about it? It's rare for you to treat me once, and you won't even let me eat my fill?"

"No, that's not what I meant, fine, fine, fine, you order."

Who told him to agree to it; although it pained him deeply, he still let go of his hand.

"A bottle of Lafite, plus a bottle of Romanée-Conti, that's all, thank you." Gu Zhihao clutched his chest, his heart aching so much he was about to die.

It was really going to be the death of him.

The solution hadn't even been mentioned yet, not even a start had been made, yet he had been stiffly scammed out of a fortune.

He wouldn't be able to leave the restaurant after this meal without spending tens of thousands; it wasn't that he couldn't afford to treat, it was just that his heart ached so much.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Nianyin asked, knowing the answer.

"No, don't talk to me, I want to be quiet by myself."

Gu Zhihao could now understand why his wife always wanted to stay by herself.

"Not talking? Then you don't want to hear the idea either?"

"I do."

He immediately sat up straight, almost forgetting the important matter.

"Tell me, what is the solution?"

Nianyin: "Go back and burn the marriage certificate and the household registration book; if the paperwork is incomplete, the divorce is bullshit, you can't get divorced."

Gu Zhihao:...

He rolled his eyes back, and this time he fainted.

It was heartache.

It was just a matter of one sentence that could have been explained over the phone, but she insisted on coming to such a high-end restaurant, ordering a table of expensive dishes and wine; it was clearly meant to scam him!

The exquisite dishes were served one by one.

Nianyin used her napkin to fan the air toward the opposite side, and the aroma of the food kept drifting over.

"Hey! Are you eating or not? I can't finish so much, it would be a pity if the leftovers were thrown away..."

Gu Zhihao woke up.

He ate as if he were sulking, drinking the wine in large gulps.

Nianyin reminded him: "Red wine isn't meant to be drunk like that, besides, drink a little less; if you drink too much, you won't be able to cook for your lady when you get back, see if Shi Yuke doesn't kick you out immediately."

"She won't, my wife is very gentle, do you think everyone is like you women of the Ji Family? Fierce as a female yaksha."

"Who are you calling a female yaksha? Try saying one more word and see what happens?" Nianyin widened her eyes.
