Chapter 440 - Divorce
This same evening, Bai Jun's sack letter from FJ, finally made its way to the Bai family. The person that received that letter was the first daughter-in-law. And when she walked into the living room where everyone was sitting in a sober mood, she announced the arrival of a letter from FJ.
"Why would they send us a letter, why don't you read it out to find out." The third son of the Bai family said with a frown.
Without wasting time, the first daughter-in-law took out the letter from the envelope and opened it. The headline of the letter alone felt intimidating.
After reading the letter which contained the reason for Bai Jun being sacked, and how much fine to pay, and what will happen if the fine wasn't paid within the expected date given.
"Bai Fen, just know that I and my family will not bring out a dime to pay for any fine. You and your criminal daughter should sort it out. I believe that since you and Bai Jun have a lot of money, and you have rich relatives, paying the money back won't be a problem." Bai Jun's father said while pointing angrily at Bai Fen whose eyes were red from crying.
"I don't have that much money when combined with Bai Jun's and I don't think my brother will want to give me any money." Bai Fen said in tears.
"Not when you have been abandoned." Bai Jun's father said to the surprise of everyone.
"What do you mean?." Bai Fen asked with a confused gaze. Her thoughts were in disarray, and that made her not understand the meaning of his words.
Not just Bai Fen, but all the members of the Bai family glanced curiously at the second son while waiting for an explanation.
"Bai Fen, do you think you will continue to remain in this family after everything that has gone wrong? You must be braindead to think that I will want to continue to live with a woman like you. As we the Bai family are leaving this City, you will not come with us." Bai Jun's father said in a clear tone as he made his stance clear.
"What! You...you are abandoning me?." Bai Fen asked in total shock. She couldn't believe that her husband of over 20 years was thinking of abandoning her at this moment.
Everyone had nothing to say about Mr. Bai's decision, it's not like they didn't see it coming.
"You are still asking questions? Why on earth do you think I will want to spend the rest of my life with you? Can't you see how you have destroyed my life and ruined my family? I am only giving you divorce with no alimony, and you are not satisfied, would you want me to kill you off and feed your dead body to the sharks?." Mr. Bai asked in an angry tone as he took steps towards Bai Fen.
Bai Fen was immediately scared for her life. Her husband just threatened to kill her if she doesn't agree to a divorce, and she didn't need to test him to know if he would really do it.
Old Mrs. Bai frowned at her son and asked him not to go too far with his words.
"Mum, why won't I threaten her? And I'm being very serious about it. See how she has ruined our family and made us a laughing stock. We just moved back to the city a few years ago in glory, and now we are forced to leave in disgrace, all because of a woman blinded by greed. She should be grateful I didn't stab her to death." Mr. Bai said angrily.
The man was very furious and wouldn't mind shedding his wife's blood to get some peace. There was nothing more terrifying than marrying a terrible partner who would lead to your downfall, it was a nightmare.
Old Mrs. Bai sighed and didn't say anything again. She was thinking if she had listened to Fu Hee's advice about getting rid of Bai Fen sooner before she caused another chaos in their family if they would have avoided today's problem.
(REMINDER: Fu Hee said that to the old lady during Bai Jun's wedding, just as she was about to leave)
Currently, the old lady had a lot of regrets in her life. She was already so old and could die at any time. But she was afraid of facing her husband if she died leaving her family in ruins. But there was another person she didn't know how to face, Grandfather Fu.
"Old Fu must be highly disappointed in me and our family. I don't have any courage to face him at this moment." Old Mrs. Bai said in a weary tone.
"Mum, please don't worry, we will send him a letter of apology before we leave this city in 2 days. Our house has already been put up for sale, and I believe within 10-15 years, we should be able to recover most of what we have lost." The first son of the Bai family said as he patted the old lady's shoulder.
Old Mrs. Bai laughed painfully and said to him, "If you are still thinking that our family business can still survive in this country, then you don't have foresight. Even if we get a new set of investors, who would want to invest in something that will swallow up their money and not give them returns?. Bai Jun's act has finished us all, so we need to make a new plan, but before then, I want Fen to leave this family by tomorrow morning. I don't want to wake up in the morning and still see her in this house."
"Yes, mother I will immediately contact my lawyer to get the divorce papers ready." The second son of the Bai family said.
Bai Fen has now seen how bleak her future would be without the Bai family's help, and immediately fell to the ground to plead for mercy, but no one listened to her.
"You should have thought about a day like today when you were encouraging your daughter's forbidden and hideous thoughts. You should have pictured a day like today."
"There is no need to beg because your life is over. You should probably spend the rest of your life praying for the forgiveness of your daughter's sin and yours."
"The only thing the Bai family can help you with is to get the servants to help you pack your things tonight, in case you end up mistakenly taking what is not yours."
As all kinds of things were said to Bai Fen, she was already lost. That night, she didn't eat anything, and spent the night in the living room, crying, brooding, and thinking.. It was a really long night for her.
