Chapter 57: Court Battle
“Why do you like such childish things?”
Fu Ying stood beside the desk and asked.
Without looking up, Mo Rao said, “What, can’t I?”
Of course she could. It was just childish.
Fu Ying changed the subject. “Today, Mom and Grandma agreed to our divorce.”
“Yes, I understand.” Mo Rao had known all along. Her tone was aloof.
“But there are conditions for divorcing you. I have to give you half of all the assets under my name, and I have to sign an agreement with Qu Ru. If I want to marry her in the future, she can’t get a single cent from the Fu family, even if it’s assets after our marriage. I can only give them all to you.” Fu Ying explained these conditions. “Grandma really dotes on you.”
Other than him, Fu Ying, who in the Fu family did not dote on Mo Rao?
Mo Rao asked coldly, “What’s wrong? You can’t bear it? I thought you were so in love with Qu Ru that you could go through hell for her. Why can’t you bear it now that I’m asking you to exchange money for her having an honorable status? Is true love so cheap?”
“I can’t bear it?” Fu Ying was furious. He grabbed Mo Rao’s wrist and yanked her to her feet. “Is it that I can’t bear it, or are you starting to get greedy? Didn’t you not care about money in the past?”
Fu Ying tightened his grip on her wrist, causing a dull pain.
Enduring the pain, Mo Rao looked up into those piercing, dark eyes. “Yes, I’ve changed. I used to only want your affection. I thought money would taint my love for you, but I realized it was meaningless. You’ve never really liked me, so why don’t I just focus on money? I’ll need money for my life in the future, right?”
Leaving this place demanded money. Giving birth demanded money. Raising a child demanded money.
Mo Rao didn’t want to focus on feelings anymore. She wanted to be realistic.
After ten years, she had failed to capture Fu Ying’s heart. She no longer had any hope.
Fu Ying was like poison. She was addicted, but she had to quit.
Otherwise, death awaited her!
“Really? Just because you need money to survive in the future? I think I’ve given enough,” Fu Ying said coldly.
“But I don’t think it’s enough. Isn’t your true love with Qu Ru worth this bit of money? And the position of young madam,” Mo Rao retorted.
Seeing her talk about benefits so coldly, Fu Ying became even angrier.
He gritted his teeth. “Mo Rao, what if I don’t get a divorce? What will you do?”
“Why won’t you get a divorce? Don’t tell me you suddenly realized you were in love with me?” Mo Rao’s laugh was sarcastic.
“Hehe, don’t flatter yourself. I won’t get a divorce until you agree to donate your bone marrow to her,” Fu Ying said ruthlessly.
Indeed, that was the reason. Mo Rao had already thought of it.
It was only more painful to hear it from him.
“Okay, then I’ll drag it out. Anyway, I’m not in a hurry and you’re not. She’s the one who’s in a hurry.” Mo Rao felt resigned.
Fu Ying could not understand. Where had the docile and obedient Mo Rao gone?
Now, she didn’t seem to listen to him at all. She was going against him in everything!
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Mo Rao’s chin, forcing her to continue looking up at him. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Mo Rao, why are you pestering me repeatedly? Could it be that you…”
Mo Rao tensed up. Surely he didn’t suspect her pregnancy, did he?
Fu Ying continued, “Do you still like me? You can’t let me go?”
Heh, he was probably certain that her feelings wouldn’t change.
Mo Rao stopped looking at Fu Ying. Her long eyelashes covered her eyes and her pink lips moved slightly. “No, Fu Ying, I won’t like you anymore. I just want to divorce you. And I definitely won’t donate my bone marrow to Qu Ru. I won’t relent on either matter. If you insist, then we might as well go to court.”
It was really too much torture. All she wanted was relief.
If she could grow wings, she wanted to fly away now to escape this cage.
Fu Ying’s gaze turned cold. “A lawsuit? Alright, as long as you want to, we’ll play to the end!”
His tone was full of anger. Mo Rao wanted to go to court with him? What a joke!
“Fu Ying, I don’t want it to come to this, because once it does, everyone will know about our relationship.” Mo Rao’s voice was still soft, but it was no longer gentle.
However, Fu Ying was already overcome with anger. He replied disdainfully, “So what? I don’t care.”
With that, he released Mo Rao and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower to calm down.
Mo Rao watched the bathroom door close and sighed. Why did it have to come to this? She had agreed to end things properly.
