Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 496: Chapter 497: Leaving with Nothing but the Clothes on One’s Back

“Enough, Mom, enough!” Zhang Heyuan pushed her away with a painful expression, “Mom, do you know we’re on the brink of disaster? The person who stood up for Qiao Yi today isn’t ordinary, he’s the Director of Star Palace. Do you know Star Palace? The largest entertainment company internationally! That kind of wealthy person could ruin our family in just a single sentence, Mom, do you want to lose everything and end up on the street?”

Mother Zhang was speechless: “No, it couldn’t be? Didn’t Qiao Yi cut off ties with her family? You have been married for more than three years, and I haven’t even seen a single member of her family.”

If it hadn’t been for knowing that Qiao Yi didn’t have any family backing her up and couldn’t have children, she wouldn’t have been so oppressive towards Qiao Yi.

Zhang Heyuan sighed tiredly: “Mom, family is family, you can’t just verbally cut ties. Yiyi did sever the relationship with her family three years ago, perhaps she has reconciled with them now. If she feels wronged, it’s normal for her to seek support from her family, isn’t it?”

“What kind of grievances has she suffered?” Mother Zhang was furious, “She can’t even have a child, interfering with the continuation of our Zhang family lineage. I even thought about discussing this with her family.”

Zhang Heyuan shook his head painfully, unable to utter a word.

His mom was stubborn and set in her ways, she didn’t listen to other people’s advice.

But no matter how bad his mom was, she was the one who had brought him up with great hardship.

Without his mom, there wouldn’t be Zhang Heyuan today.

Seeing Zhang Heyuan bruised and in pain, Mother Zhang felt both distressed and anxious, stuttering, “Is Qiao Yi serious? Is it not just a quarrel, trying to get you to yield? Didn’t she always love you the most? She even cut off ties with her family to marry you, she was totally devoted to you, how could she possibly want to divorce you? She must be trying to scare you, just ignore her, give her a cold shoulder for two days, she’ll come back begging you!”

“Mom, she means it,” Zhang Heyuan turned to look at her, “I know Yiyi, she is not the type to go back on her word. Although she’s a woman, she always keeps her word. If I don’t divorce her today, I will surrender 10% of my property tomorrow. If I delay it for five days, I will end up with nothing.”

“How is that possible?” Mother Zhang was anxious, “All the money at home was earned by you, on what ground should it be shared with her? We will sue her, she can’t even have a child, the judge will definitely take our side, and let her leave with nothing!”

“Impossible,” Zhang Heyuan shook his head, “More than half of the startup capital for the company was provided by her. I am the one at fault, although the court won’t make me give up everything, it won’t give me much either, and…”

Zhang Heyuan exhaled in near desperation: “After the divorce, I’m afraid Qiao Yi’s family won’t leave me alone. They will take revenge on me, even if they don’t leave me homeless, they will ensure that I never get ahead in life!”

When the man with a disabled right hand stepped on his chest, the look in his eyes was as fierce as a poisoned wolf, and the aura he emanated reminded him of the grim reaper harvesting lives.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered that Qiao Yi once mentioned she has a brother who is an elite special forces soldier.

Special forces, they should have seen bloodshed, right?

Only those who have seen bloodshed would have such a fearless demeanor.

Such a person, clear about grievances and revenge, would definitely seek an eye for an eye.

The look in that man’s eyes suggested that he hated him to the bone.

Once he and Qiao Yi were divorced, that man would definitely not let him off.
