Chapter 945: I Agree to Your Divorce!

Du Chengfeng walked into the study and said to Du Xiaofeng with a serious expression, "I've recently heard some bad news about Xie Miao."

Du Xiaofeng immediately became nervous: "Brother, you've watched Xie Miao grow up since she was a child; don't you understand her character? She would absolutely never do anything out of line."

Du Chengfeng took a file out of the drawer, pulled out a few photos from it, and slapped the table hard: "Look for yourself, what is this?"

Du Xiaofeng glanced at the photos, a flash of anger crossing her face, before she said guiltily: "These... these photos must be fake!"

The photos recorded a scene of Xie Miao embracing and kissing a strange man.

Du Chengfeng said in a deep voice: "I know Xie Miao's marriage isn't happy. If she can't go on, then she should divorce, but she absolutely must not commit adultery during marriage or act in violation of public order and good morals."

Du Xiaofeng gritted her teeth and said: "I'll go back and talk to her clearly, and make her get the divorce immediately."

Du Chengfeng took out another whistleblower letter: "It's not just about the divorce; she has other problems—she has some investments in her name that she must also withdraw from."

Du Xiaofeng took the whistleblower letter in surprise: "Brother, she's doing a little business; is that not allowed?"

Du Chengfeng's expression grew even more serious:

"If it were a normal investment, I certainly wouldn't object.

However, Tang Ye is in charge of poverty alleviation work in Dayu County, yet she holds shares in a local copper mine. This can be used by others to smear him with accusations of abusing power for personal gain, becoming a handle for others to attack Tang Ye.

Tang Ye is my son-in-law; how do you expect outsiders to see this?

I am your own brother and her uncle; if something happens to me, what good will it do you?"

Du Xiaofeng actually knew that Xie Miao had invested in the copper mine in Dayu County. Although she wasn't clear on how much of a dividend she would get later, judging by the momentum, the returns would certainly not be small, and she had originally been quite happy about it.

Now, knowing it might affect her own brother's future.

She was so scared that tears instantly rolled from her eyes.

"Brother, I didn't think the problem was so serious. I'll force her to withdraw as soon as I go back."

Seeing that Du Xiaofeng had already been intimidated, Du Chengfeng said earnestly: "Xiaofeng, Mom and Dad passed away years ago. I only have you as a sister; you are my closest kin, and I truly hope you can live securely. Xie Miao has a stable job and doesn't have to worry about food or drink; isn't that good enough? Greed will be the death of you."

Du Xiaofeng nodded vigorously: "I know what to do!"

She silently tucked the photos back into the envelope.

After going downstairs, Du Xiaofeng called for Xie An and left the Du Residence directly.

Xiao Qin hurried forward to ask: "Why are you leaving so soon? Her eyes are red, like she's been crying. It's the New Year; did you scold her?"

Du Chengfeng explained: "I couldn't be bothered to scold her; I just gave her a few reminders."

Ever since Du Chengfeng began serving as the Organization Department Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, Du Xiaofeng had indeed become a bit conceited. Du Chengfeng taking this opportunity to knock her down a peg was actually quite necessary.

Although the sister-in-law regarded her husband as her pride, her husband had always been very strict with Du Xiaofeng.

However, this seriousness actually hid a deeper level of protection.

He knew that Du Xiaofeng was not very reliable in her actions and often showed off her status outside.

Du Xiaofeng returned home and immediately dialed Xie Miao's phone: "You get back here right now!"

"Mom, didn't we agree? I'll come see you on the second day of the Lunar New Year."

Xie Miao heard that Du Xiaofeng's tone was off, and her heart immediately went into a flutter.

"If you don't want to be burning paper for my grave next New Year's Eve, get over here immediately! I have important things to tell you!" Du Xiaofeng raised her volume.

"It's the New Year; what on earth happened for you to curse yourself like that! I'll be back right away; I really give up on you."

Xie Miao said helplessly.

Half an hour later, Xie Miao hurried over.

Du Xiaofeng sat on the sofa, her face full of anger, sulking.

Xie Miao walked up cautiously: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Du Xiaofeng pointed her finger at the photos on the coffee table: "Explain this to me clearly; what on earth is going on with these photos?"

Xie Miao picked up the photos and looked at them; her face changed instantly, and for a moment her mind went blank.

After a long time, she finally came to her senses and said hurriedly: "These photos are fake!"

Du Xiaofeng darkened her face: "It's come to this, and you still want to hide it from me! Do you think I can't tell whether they're real or fake?"

Xie Miao defended herself with red eyes: "These photos must have been secretly taken by someone Cao Yunfan hired! I haven't had any feelings for him for a long time. I've already proposed a divorce to Cao Yunfan, but he keeps dragging it out and won't agree."

Du Xiaofeng shook her head and sighed: "But you are still Cao Yunfan's wife in name; your behavior is adultery during marriage! These photos were handed to me by your uncle; they've already reached him. If this spreads any further, do you know how much influence it will have? Your uncle's reputation is going to be ruined by you!"

Xie Miao bit her lip and choked out: "You only think about your eldest brother's situation, but have you ever considered me for even a second? I never agreed to this marriage back then; it was you who forced me into it!"

Du Xiaofeng sighed: "I've realized it now too; a forced melon isn't sweet. I agree to your divorce. However, you must promise me one thing—you must withdraw your investment from the copper mine in Dayu County; this matter is inappropriate!"

Xie Miao was full of surprise: "Why? Just for Uncle's reputation, you won't even allow my normal investment?"

Du Xiaofeng's tone was resolute: "You can make investments, but you absolutely cannot have any connection to your uncle. I'm not discussing this with you; you must do as I say, or I'll jump off this building right now!"

Xie Miao was suddenly speechless. She knew the weight her eldest uncle held in her mother's heart, so she gritted her teeth and said: "Fine! I promise you!"

Xie Miao and Cao Yunfan had long since lost their feelings for each other.

As for Cao Yunfan having women outside,

Xie Miao was also well aware of it.

She just didn't expect that Cao Yunfan would investigate her and even send the photos to Du Chengfeng.

No!

When she goes back, she must have a good showdown with Cao Yunfan!

This year, no one is going to have a good time!

Yunhu Courtyard.

Along with the final dish being served on the table.

The New Year's Eve dinner began.

Du Chengfeng raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Before we knew it, another year has passed. Over this past year, our little family has done well, and everyone has achieved a certain level of success. I hope that next year, everyone will do even better."

Tang Yu smiled and said, "That's right, I wish everyone further progress in the coming year!"

Tang Ye finished the wine in his glass, then exchanged a look with Du Xi.

Du Xi and Tang Ye stood side by side.

Tang Ye said, "Du Xi and I would like to take this opportunity to toast our elders. We hope you stay in good health and that everything goes as you wish."

Qin Lan said with satisfaction, "I hope the two of you can be well and have even more accomplishments."

Du Xi sighed inwardly.

The elders had maintained a tacit understanding and never mentioned the matter of having children.

Clearly, they did not want to add any pressure to them.
