I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Regret is Useless Now_1

Hearing Dong Qikang’s words, Feng Lijuan’s expression turned even uglier.

It had to be said, what Dong Qikang said was the truth.

However, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she was determined to fight for it.

If she could return to Chen Yuanxiang’s side, she could live the true life of a wealthy lady.

The wife of a Shuidilao general manager, Shen Dong’s mother-in-law, that was the life she had always dreamed of.

With this thought, Feng Lijuan’s expression returned to normal, and she scoffed coldly, "No matter what you say, I want to divorce you, don’t think about convincing me to come back."

Dong Qikang said, "Feng Lijuan, you better think it over. If you stay with me, I can act as if nothing happened. Even if my career suffers, my life won’t be too bad. If Chen Yuanxiang doesn’t accept you, your life will plummet. Moreover, who can be sure that my career won’t progress further? It’s all unpredictable. In any case, sticking with me is the smartest choice."

Dong Junjie, seeing his father continuously trying to keep Feng Lijuan, was utterly confused and couldn’t help but say, "Dad, why are you keeping her? Just agree to the divorce, and she will definitely regret it!"

Dong Qikang glared fiercely at Dong Junjie, "Shut up!"

But Feng Lijuan just laughed, looking at Dong Junjie and saying, "Dong Junjie, haven’t you figured out why your dad is trying to keep me?"

Dong Junjie asked blankly, "Why?"

He really didn’t understand.

Feng Lijuan smiled and said, "Firstly, if I divorce your father, he will have to give me half of the marital assets. Secondly, your plan to connect with Liu Chao through Yuting will completely fall through."

She looked at Dong Qikang and continued with a smile, "Dong Qikang, you’re indeed quite shrewd, but your son is an idiot."

Chen Yuting watched the scene unfold, feeling somewhat sad in her heart.

No matter what, her mother had been with Dong Qikang for over a decade.

She had thought that there would be some feelings.

But now, it seemed that there were none—only considerations of self-interest.

Her own mother, truly, left her speechless.

"You..."

Dong Junjie, rendered speechless by Feng Lijuan’s words, flushed a deep red.

He wanted to retort but found himself entirely unable.

Yes, if Dad divorced Feng Lijuan, according to the marriage laws, he would have to give half of the marital assets to her.

And they, father and son, had always hoped to connect with Liu Chao through Chen Yuting.

With Dad divorcing Feng Lijuan, Chen Yuting would naturally go with Feng Lijuan. How could she still care about them, let alone connect them with Liu Chao, who would certainly ignore them?

Dad’s prospects at the company were also bleak. Leaving the company, it would be difficult to find equivalent employment.

Feng Lijuan sneered at Dong Junjie and then turned to Dong Qikang, "Dong Qikang, regardless, once I divorce you, even if I cannot return to Chen Yuanxiang’s side, I still have Yuting. Once Yuting marries Liu Chao, I’ll be Liu Chao’s mother-in-law, and my life will be a hundred times better than yours, while you’ll be even more down and out."

Dong Qikang’s face darkened, "Feng Lijuan, you’re really a cheap woman!"

Feng Lijuan wasn’t angry, but her smile grew wider, "Dong Qikang, seeing you like this reminds me of a phrase, ’impotent rage’."

"Bastard, I’ll kill you!" Dong Junjie exploded with rage and made to hit Feng Lijuan again.

However, he was held back by Dong Qikang.

If he hit Feng Lijuan, it would only make things more complicated.

"Come on then, hit me," Feng Lijuan taunted with a sneer, tilting her head back.

"Dad, let me go, let me kill this cheap woman!" Dong Junjie struggled and said.

"Junjie, calm down. We can’t get violent. Once we do, not only could you be detained, but this cheap woman would also demand compensation. If it goes to court and she claims domestic abuse, with our divorce, I would have to pay her even more money," Dong Qikang quickly said.

It had to be said, having lived together for more than a decade, they both knew each other very well.

Feng Lijuan thought exactly this: let Dong Junjie beat her, and then during the divorce, claim domestic violence and obtain a more significant share of the property.

It’s a pity, Dong Junjie lacked brains, but Dong Qikang was intelligent.

However, no matter what, they did have a not-insignificant amount of marital assets, which meant she could still walk away with a substantial sum of money.

The two parties had already burned their bridges, so Dong Qikang could only agree to the divorce. He would settle this matter as soon as possible because Feng Lijuan’s mere presence was irksome to him.

Feng Lijuan took Chen Yuting out for a meal and said they wouldn’t come back that evening, planning to stay at a hotel instead.

Dong Qikang and his son sat in the living room.

Dong Junjie said indignantly, "Dad, do we really have to give her half of the marital assets?"

Dong Qikang replied helplessly, "What else can we do if we don’t give it to her? It’s required by law."

He didn’t want to split the assets either, but he had no choice.

That’s what the law stipulated; making a scene would leave neither side looking good, and they would still have to pay up in the end.

That wasn’t even the most crucial part. The most important thing was that after divorcing Feng Lijuan, he could forget about leveraging Chen Yuting’s relationship with Liu Chao.

He had no idea when he would get out of this predicament—it was possible he might never escape it.

"Ai, we really shouldn’t have meddled with Chen Yuting and Shen Dong’s breakup."

Dong Qikang thought of this and regretted it deeply.

If Chen Yuting hadn’t broken up with Shen Dong, they would likely already be married by now.

If that were the case, he would be Shen Dong’s father-in-law, and the general manager position at Shuidilao would have been his.

Now, he was left with nothing.

"Dad, regretting it now is useless," Dong Junjie said bitterly.

Who could have imagined Shen Dong would become so remarkable, achieving so much in such a short time?

In the past, they looked down on Shen Dong; now, they could only look up to him.

The Dongyan Guild was making unimaginable amounts of money every day.

Shuidilao’s current valuation had already reached two billion.

And that was only from branches in four first-tier cities.

Once they expanded to major second- and third-tier cities, the valuation was unimaginable.

In the future, they might not even have the right to look up to Shen Dong.

If Chen Yuting had married Shen Dong, he would have been Shen Dong’s brother-in-law. With the wealth that Shen Dong commanded, as his brother-in-law, he could have had whatever he wanted, cruising in a supercar worth tens of millions to pick up girls — it would have been easily within reach.

Unfortunately, now it was just a pipe dream.

Regret filled his heart — he was utterly regretful.

If only they hadn’t mocked Shen Dong back then, if only they hadn’t pressured Chen Yuting to break up with him.

If only they had been nicer to Shen Dong, even if Chen Yuting and Shen Dong had broken up, he might have still secured a decent position at Shen Dong’s company.

Alas, it’s useless to think about it now.

"If Feng Lijuan returns to Chen Yuanxiang’s side, she’ll be Shen Dong’s mother-in-law, and if Chen Yuting marries Liu Chao, she’ll be Liu Chao’s mother-in-law, with who knows how comfortable her life will be."

Thinking of this, Dong Qikang felt so frustrated he wanted to spit blood.

In the end, he and his son were left with nothing.

The root of it all was that Shen Dong.
