At that moment, she seemed to feel a sense of comfort and support from the strength given by the other party, as fragile yet firm as a drowning person grabbing the last straw.

"Grandma, what are your plans for the current situation?"

Yu Xiao asked softly, his words revealing a sense of helplessness and expectation for guidance.

The old lady's slightly cloudy eyes first looked at Shen Ying who was standing quietly beside her, and then her gaze slowly shifted to Yu Wan who was leaning on Shen Yu.

After a long silence, her expression seemed to indicate she had made some decision.

"How about this? You go through the divorce procedures immediately and divide all the divisible property belonging to A Yu into two halves. This will not only resolve the current conflict but also allow everyone to have a decent life."

"I disagree!"

The answer that almost burst out instantly was filled with a strong attitude of rejection, and Shen Yu's firm and unshakable voice was clearly conveyed to everyone present.

He asked angrily, "Why should I give so much wealth to Yu Xiao? This shouldn't be a way for her to gain benefits!"

Then, his words became more aggressive and filled with dissatisfaction. "You think this little money is enough to make my baby suffer? Do you think I don't know how many dark secrets are hidden behind this?"

"Don't you think it's best to use money to buy a peaceful and happy life for the two of you? Why do you have to force everyone into a desperate situation to feel at ease?"

The old lady spoke in an irrefutable manner, and every word she said revealed an extremely deep and powerful belief that was hard to ignore.

Hearing this, Shen Yu clenched his fists tightly, his whole body trembling slightly as he suppressed his anger.

"This incident was deliberately planned by someone! Lianlian is an innocent victim and has absolutely nothing to do with hiring a killer!"

He passionately defended the person he loved, but it was obvious that such an explanation did not move the heart of the elder in front of him.

However, the old lady just shook her head slightly, unmoved by his words. "The truth of the matter cannot be determined by personal feelings alone. The police will naturally make a professional judgment. Can you say with certainty that the woman had no involvement in this? As someone who has experienced it, I can see clearly that some tricks, no matter how clever, cannot escape the eyes of others. In my opinion, there is actually some kind of conspiracy behind this matter; as for Shen Ying, she is more likely a poor tool being used."

Shen Yu was not sure whether Yu Wan was involved in this incident. He knew in his heart that Yu Wan had never really liked Yu Xiao.

Especially when it comes to the divorce procedures, her attitude is always ambiguous, so much so that until now, the adults of the two families have not had the opportunity to meet formally to discuss this issue.

In addition, there was Shen Ying who kept adding fuel to the fire and trying to unite everyone to exclude Yu Xiao. Therefore, it was inevitable that such a situation targeting one person would occur.

Facing Shen Yu's suspicion, Yu Wan felt very aggrieved. She pouted and defended herself in a voice so weak that it was almost inaudible, "I didn't."

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Shen did not immediately express any position or judgment, but continued to ask calmly: "If Xiaoxiao is willing to accept it, then you must agree as well. Xiaoxiao, what do you think about this?"

Yu Xiao raised his head slightly, without much emotion in his expression.

She slowly uttered a few words as an answer, "I only want two-thirds."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence.

A few seconds later, Shen Yu excitedly shouted, "You said you wanted to take away two-thirds of our assets? You might as well just take away the entire Shen family! The Lin family has accumulated all the wealth they have today through years of hard work. How can you possibly take it all away just because of a word? That's simply impossible!"

Hearing this, Yu Xiao just raised his eyebrows slightly and did not respond directly to his anger.

She just spread her hands, then shrugged helplessly, showing her calmness to everyone.

"Grandma, you see clearly that it's not me who's unwilling to compromise on this matter, but rather you who are unwilling to cooperate. In that case, I think we should call the police. Perhaps only the law can resolve the current situation."

As he was talking, Yu Xiao had already taken out his cell phone from his pocket, as if he was really ready to dial that familiar number.

This scene terrified the people present.

Shen Ying and Yu Wan seemed particularly nervous. Their faces quickly turned much worse, as if they had seen something terrible.

At this critical moment, Mrs. Shen, who had remained silent, suddenly intervened to stop the action that was about to take place. She quickly reached out and pressed Yu Xiao's wrist, which was tightly holding the phone, and pleaded, "Wait a moment, please give me some time to think clearly about what to do."

Seeing this, Shen's mother and Shen Yu hurriedly called out the old lady's name to show their concern: "Mom, Grandma!"

Sensing the anxiety between his son and daughter-in-law, Shen Yu finally released his hand from Yu Wan and walked forward to sit next to his mother. "Grandma, do you see clearly? Yu Xiao is actually someone with ulterior motives. From the moment she made such high demands, it's clear that she is taking action based on your unwillingness to make a big deal out of this. We must not let her succeed."

"Did I ask Shen Ying and Yu Wan to find someone to cause trouble? Tell me, if they hadn't done something wrong, how could the Shen family become like this?"

He demanded angrily, his voice thick with disappointment and reproach.

His sharp eyes swept over everyone present, especially Yu Wan, who was standing aside with her head down and not daring to look directly at him.

Yu Wan stood there in a daze, shaking her head helplessly: "I...I didn't."

Her voice was almost inaudible, and her eyes were full of fear and anxiety, like a child who had been wronged.

Shen Ying sneered a few times, "Stop pretending. Besides my brother, who else believes your lies, look at grandma and mom?"

Her tone was filled with disdain and contempt, as if she had seen through everything and made no effort to hide her contempt.

She stared at Yu Wan with her eyes wide open, her lips curled up in mockery.

Shen's mother and Old Lady Shen both looked at Yu Wan with a frosty expression. They seemed ignorant at first, but after several conversations, how could they not know that Yu Wan was involved?

The expressions of the two elders were like frozen water, cold and ruthless, and no warmth could penetrate that layer of coldness.
