Chapter 9 Let’s Get Divorced
Xia Yanbing’s pretty face slightly darkened, and she said, "Mom, Wan’er is a person, not an object. She’s only seventeen and still has her prime years ahead of her. Have you thought about how her life would be ruined if she married Liu Wencheng? If we rely on selling out Wan’er for the survival of the Xia Group, can we really live with our conscience?"
Dong Jinsu’s old face turned grim, and she yelled, "Then what should we do? Are we supposed to just watch the Xia Group collapse?"
"If it means selling out Wan’er to keep the Xia Group alive, it might as well fall," Xia Yanbing responded coldly, her face tense, "This matter is not to be mentioned again. I absolutely will not allow Wan’er to marry into the Liu Family."
"Bingbing, why are you so foolish? If the Xia Group falls, our family will be ruined as well. You won’t be the prestigious lady you are now," Dong Jinsu shouted in a fit of rage.
Xia Yanbing was silent for a moment, then spoke calmly, "It doesn’t matter. As long as we’ve tried our best. Even if we save the Xia Group this time, with my uncle and second uncle around, its collapse is only a matter of time."
"You, you..." Dong Jinsu pointed at Xia Yanbing with an ugly expression, then turned to shout at Xia Yujiang, "Did you hear what your daughter just said?"
Xia Yujiang roared, "Bingbing, the reason I gave you the position of general manager of the Xia Group is not for you to watch it fall. If it collapses, don’t blame me for not acknowledging you as my daughter."
Xia Yanbing pressed her lips tightly, her eyes weary in a way that made one feel compassion; the company was on the brink of collapse, and her family was applying pressure step by step. She was truly exhausted.
"I’m going upstairs to rest!" Xia Yanbing trudged heavily toward the stairs.
The sound of a door closing confirmed that Xia Yanbing had returned to her room. Dong Jinsu looked at Xia Yujiang and said, "This matter can’t go according to Bingbing’s will. If the Xia Group is gone, we’ll have to live a life of hardship, which I can’t bear."
