In the evening, when the family returned, they brought back a stack of divorce agreements, forcing me to sign them.
"Divorce is what you proposed yourself, you can't back out. Hurry up and sign the divorce agreement, take this sickly kid, and get back to your mother's house. Don't burden our Zhao family anymore."
"Wanwan's custody is yours, the house in the West Suburb is yours too, the company belongs to us!"
Their expressions toward me were as if they were looking at a harbinger of doom demanding repayment.
They were eager to have me out of the house immediately.
I sneered internally, this family is really in a hurry to kick me out to make room for Su Ting.
I glanced at the divorce agreement.
The Shen Family not only voluntarily relinquished Wanwan's custody but also stripped her of the right to bear the Shen surname, and demanded that we mother and daughter henceforth have no contact with their family.
They left me with a very small sum of money.
And that house was originally bought for me by my parents.
Faced with such harsh conditions, I didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
So what if I sign it?
These fools don't know yet that in this divorce lawsuit, I am already guaranteed to win.
Seeing me agree so readily, my in-laws were momentarily stunned, then their eyes gleamed like vultures spotting carrion.
"Tomorrow morning at 10, we have to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and no one is allowed to be late!"
My in-laws seemed afraid I would back out, and added before I could speak:
I watched them protect the property like rabid dogs, feeling amused, and gladly accepted this seemingly unfair property division.
"Hurry up and sign so we can get it over with."
I picked up the pen and signed my name without hesitation.
The Shen Family watched me intently, exhaling deeply with joy as I penned the last word.
"Great, now we can finally bring Xuanxuan and his mother back openly!"
The three of them gathered in the living room, beaming with joy.
I stood by the door, expressionless, and sent all the evidence I collected over the past few days to my lawyer.
Hopefully tomorrow, they can still laugh as they do now.
On the third morning, I arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau on time.
And their family was already waiting at the gate, afraid I would back out.
I couldn't be bothered to look at them and walked straight into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Shen Mingzhe also followed inside.
Five minutes later, we each received our divorce certificates.
Looking at the divorce certificate in hand.
Their family chatted happily, smiles uncontainable on their faces.
"Finally rid of those two calamities! Raising them for so long was really giving them too much."
"Tonight, we'll bring Xuanxuan back; I miss my grandson to death!"
"Tao Zhixia, this foolish woman, doesn't even know yet that all the family assets have been transferred!"
Their family hugged each other excitedly, joy evident on their faces.
I watched their family from afar, only finding it laughable.
Because I knew, soon enough, they wouldn't be able to laugh.
The next second, Shen Xuan's leukemia diagnosis was sent to their phones as scheduled.
"Leukemia? Xuanxuan?"
Looking at the diagnosis, their smiles instantly froze.
But that wasn't enough, at the same time, their beloved daughter-in-law Su Ting also came rushing over in a panic. "It's bad, Tao Zhixia sued us for bigamy, and the assets have been frozen by the court!"
