Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"

"Isn't it just the limited resources she has?"

"She's already cheated on you, how dare you still make demands?"

"If you ask me, we should make a big deal out of her affair and force her to hand over the resources."

Zhao Yazhi disagreed with Zhao Pengfei's words.

Zhao Pengfei shook his head. "Now it's not just between her and me; Meiyi Group has also gotten involved."

Zhao Yazhi and Zhao Lei looked at each other in bewilderment.

Regardless of the circumstances, this is a family matter for the Zhao family, so what reason does the MeiYi Group have to intervene?

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei asked, "Are you talking about the cooperation? If we can get the resources from that vixen, won't everything be solved?"

Zhao Pengfei couldn't understand it either.

If that's the only reason, then it makes sense.

He had just received a call from Lin Wan'er while he was still at the company.

Lin Wan'er made him an unbelievable request.

She demanded that if she were to divorce Zhao's mother, all of Zhao's mother's share of the property must be paid in full at once.

If they disagree, she will cancel the cooperation with the Zhao Group, and there will be no more opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yazhi fell silent, her brows furrowed.

Zhao Lei was stunned; he never expected Lin Wan'er to make such a demand.

This is simply playing with the future of the Zhao Group!

If Zhao's mother agrees to her conditions, it means she will receive 30% of the Zhao family's assets.

In addition, Zhao's mother owns 20% of the shares, so when you calculate it, it's a huge financial loss.

Zhao Lei suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the living room, muttering to himself.

"Who does she think she is? How dare she threaten the Zhao family like this! Dad, we can't let her lead us by the nose, we have to think of a way to teach her a lesson!"

Zhao Yazhi also realized the seriousness of the problem and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"How can we treat it? Although the Meiyi Group is currently embroiled in lawsuits, the power behind it far exceeds that of us."

"If we can secure a partnership with the Meiyi Group, we can make up for the deficit within just one year."

Zhao Yazhi asked, "Deficit? What deficit are you talking about?"

Zhao Pengfei explained impatiently, "What else could it be? It's the portion I have to give her after the divorce!"

"That won't do! Absolutely not!"

Zhao Yazhi immediately responded, "It's a fact that she cheated on you. Even if we go to court, we can win. Why should we give her so much?"

Zhao Pengfei had calculated it carefully. Although the Zhao family couldn't come up with that much cash, they had a lot of real estate.

Even if some of the properties are discounted, it won't fundamentally harm the Zhao family.

Most importantly, Zhao's mother still holds 20% of the group's shares.

Zhao Pengfei did not want to give it.

"Not a single penny can be given away. Those properties are also the Zhao family's money!"

Zhao Yazhi, unaware of the implications, insisted that her mother leave the marriage with nothing.

"Mom, why can't you understand? Don't just focus on immediate gains."

Zhao Pengfei said helplessly.

Zhao Yazhi was speechless after being told off.

After a long pause, he looked at Zhao Pengfei and asked, "So, what do you suggest we do now?"

Zhao Pengfei remained silent and went straight upstairs.

Seeing this, Zhao Yazhi wisely pulled Zhao Lei away from the living room.

Zhao Pengfei turned the doorknob but found it wouldn't open; the door was locked from the inside. He had no choice but to try knocking.

When Zhao's mother heard the noise at the door again, she instinctively hid the bankbook on her person.

"Who...who's outside?" Zhao's mother asked in a panicked tone.

"It's me, going back to my own home, do I need to lock the door?"

Zhao Pengfei deliberately softened his tone, hoping to lower his mother's guard.

After confirming several times that the bankbook she had hidden on her person would not be discovered, Zhao's mother calmly opened the door.

"Zhao Pengfei, if you're trying to question me about Zhao Jing, I can only tell you, I don't know!"

Zhao's mother spoke first, "In all my years in the Zhao family, I have absolutely never done anything to wrong you."

Zhao Pengfei naturally knew what had happened back then, and didn't continue discussing the topic with her.

"You've misunderstood. I came up here just to have a calm and peaceful discussion about the divorce."

Zhao's mother stared intently at him. "Go on," she said.

"All properties purchased under your name before the divorce belong to you..."

As he spoke, Zhao Pengfei glanced tentatively at his mother.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhao's mother visibly relaxed her tension and vigilance.

But she quickly added, "This is what I deserve."

Zhao Pengfei nodded and did not argue with her.

"However, I really cannot cash out the shares of the Zhao Group for you right now."

Zhao's mother snorted coldly, "Zhao Pengfei, I thought you had a change of heart, but it turns out you were just waiting for me here."

"You are aware of the current situation of the Zhao Group."

Zhao Pengfei said helplessly.

Zhao's mother looked up at him and said, "Since we've come to the point of divorce, let's settle the score clearly."

"It's better than getting entangled in this mess later."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Zhao's mother for the time being, Zhao Pengfei had no choice but to resort to threats and inducements.

"Whether you cheated on me or not, it's a fact that Zhao Jing isn't my biological daughter. Don't you feel even a little bit guilty?"

"Guilt? Zhao Pengfei, I've asked myself honestly, since I married you, I've never done anything to wrong you. As for this child, I truly don't know what happened!"

"Perhaps you can give me an explanation!"

Zhao's mother's words were like daggers to the heart. She had now seen through Zhao Pengfei's true colors. Even if she didn't know the truth of what happened back then, she could probably guess that Zhao Pengfei had done something behind the scenes.

That's why Zhao's mother was so heartbroken.

"An explanation? What explanation do I need to give you!"

Zhao Pengfei was enraged and said, "You were the one who was unfaithful first. If it weren't for our years of friendship, do you think you could have gotten away unscathed?"

Having endured so much in the Zhao family for so many years, Zhao's mother had long been fed up with Zhao Pengfei's arrogant and condescending attitude.

"Fine, then let's fight to the death! No matter what, I won't let my daughter suffer with me!"

"This is what your Zhao family owes me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pengfei's face turned ashen. Just as he was about to lash out, he heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Zhao Yazhi returned, holding a paternity test report.

"The evidence is right in front of you, how dare you still try to deny it!"

Zhao Lei proudly displayed the report in his hand, "If I were to make this paternity test public, I wonder if your bastard child with another man would still be able to live in Jiangcheng!"

Zhao's mother stared in disbelief at the report, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

What exactly happened? How could Zhao Jing not be Zhao Pengfei's biological daughter...?

Zhao Pengfei snatched the report away, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"Who told you to come up here? Get down!"

Zhao Lei looked at him in disbelief, "Dad, you've given her everything you could, but she's still not satisfied. Why are you still showing her any mercy!"
