Chapter 4: Divorce, of course I must divorce.
The word hit her like a two tonne bus, running over her with wheels and crushing her bones to powder. It shocked her even though she had a feeling that it was coming. If Mo Liang did not ask for the divorce, she would have asked for one herself.
"Fine, divorce that is easy to do, I would not stay married to filth like you anymore." Mei-Mei got over feeling sorry for herself and barked back at him. "Marrying you is the worst mistake that I have ever made in my life. You have the courage to throw it in my face that I am a former heiress, let's dig into our history and find the answer as to why that is."
They all knew why, it was because she insisted on marrying Mo Liang and her mother refused. She gave her an ultimatum, choose Mo Liang or the family and her inheritance. Foolish in love, Mei-Mei had chosen Mo Liang. She had rejected a life of wealth and settled for a hard life with him, supporting him and his mother by working odd jobs until he became a space pilot, one of the best in the country.
"You make it sound as if I forced you to marry me, you did it willingly." Mo Liang reminded her in a cruel taunting voice.
Mei-Mei scoffed, "Who is it the knelt outside Phoenix group for three days and nights, begging for my mother to approve the marriage. Mo Liang, should I play you footage of your three day one man strike. You acted so devoted that I actually believed in you." She looked up at the skies and moaned, "I should have known better."
Mo Liang clenched his hands into fists, getting angrier and angrier by the second. That footage was like the bane of his existence, a dark mark on his image. It reminded him of how powerless he had been in the past, so much so that he had to grovel in order to marry Mei-Mei. After marrying her, her family cut her off so he did not even benefit much from the marriage.
She called it the biggest mistake of her life, well it was the same for him. It was time to end the sham of a marriage and build his happy family.
He opened the black bag which he had come carrying from the airport and brought out divorce papers that he thrust at Mei-Mei. "I have already signed, all that is required is for you to sign as well. I want to give Yue and Hao a proper status as soon as possible. As for other things like division of property and custody we can fight them out after divorcing."
"Mingzhu is mine." Mei-Mei snapped. "I will not let you get your filthy hands on my daughter."
