Chapter 31: Scared and Fled
"...I don’t want you to lose faith in marriage because of my failed one." Mi Wan fell silent for a moment, then spoke softly from her heart.
She knew very well that there was a wound in Mi Jing’s heart. The past hurt had made her feel insecure and had even changed her entire view of love. So, Mi Wan didn’t want this matter, which had already caused her own pain, to bring any bad influence on Mi Jing.
"Ha, you really do worry a lot!" Mi Jing smiled helplessly and said, "Sister, can’t you think about yourself for a change? You worry about my feelings, you worry about mom and dad’s feelings, you worry about Xuanxuan’s feelings, but what about you? Are you content?"
"What good would discontent do? Should I fight to the bitter end with Song Guotao? I don’t want to turn into a resentful woman!" Mi Wan tugged at the corners of her mouth and produced a pale smile.
Of course, Mi Jing did not agree with Mi Wan continuing to entangle with Song Guotao. With things as they were, it was better to divorce, but the money and assets must be secured, and they must not be taken advantage of by Song Guotao and that shameless woman.
Gradually, Mi Jing calmed down. She pulled Mi Wan to the sofa to sit down and asked, "How will the property be divided in your divorce?"
"Split the savings in half. Of the two houses, the one bought before marriage stays with me, the one we live in now goes to him. The shares in the law firm also go to him. Xuanxuan stays with me." This was what Mi Wan had negotiated with Song Guotao. Though the division wasn’t fair, she was willing to accept it so that Xuanxuan could stay with her.
"Is this the result of Song Guotao negotiating Xuanxuan’s custody with you?" Mi Jing understood Mi Wan too well. She didn’t care about the money; Xuanxuan was her lifeline. So, for Xuanxuan’s sake, she was willing to suffer a loss.
"Yes." Mi Wan nodded gently.
Upon hearing this, Mi Jing felt her anger flare up again, "Bastard! What gives that scumbag the right to bargain with you?"
