At fifty, she remarried into a wealthy family; her ex-husband knelt down and begged for reconciliati

Chapter 152: Did you say thank you?

Xu Hemei didn't sleep well all night, she was filled with fear and nightmares. She was woken up early by the alarm clock, and was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.

She was so tired that she asked her supervisor for half a day off. As usual, the supervisor agreed immediately, so she went back to sleep without worry.

Suddenly, a phone rang again, waking her up. She picked up her phone and looked at it.

It's not about getting your life taken, it's about getting your money.

She took a deep breath and answered the phone, "Dad, what's up so early in the morning...?"

Xu Hui: "Xiao Mei, is tomorrow the day you and Duan Fei are getting your divorce certificate?"

Xu Hemei gave a deep "hmm" and then said, "Dad, Duan Fei came to see me yesterday, and he was holding a scalpel. It was quite scary."

Xu Hui's tone became somewhat flustered, whether out of worry for his daughter or fear of not getting the money, he asked, "Did he do anything to you?"

Xu Hemei sat up in bed, tidying her messy hair. "No, I slapped him. He seemed stunned by the slap, and he even knelt down and begged for my forgiveness, saying he didn't want a divorce anymore..."

Xu Hui on the other end of the phone was silent for three seconds, inwardly clicking his tongue in amazement. They truly were mother and daughter; both loved slapping people. Their hands seemed to possess a magical power, capable of making people stupid...

He hesitated before asking, "So you didn't agree to be with him, right...?"

As far as he knew, his daughter was hopelessly in love with this scoundrel of a son-in-law. He prayed silently that they wouldn't reconcile, otherwise all the money would be wasted...

Xu Hemei still couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when she recalled the scene from yesterday. She clenched her fists lightly and said, "How could that be? He was about to harm me, and I still made up with him. I was demeaning myself."

Xu Hui breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. He really isn't a good person. You'll definitely find a better and more outstanding man in the future."

Xu Hemei, her head throbbing from lack of sleep, tried to calm him down. "Dad, I did make things difficult for Duan Fei recently. He might avoid me this time because of the divorce, but I don't want to drag this out any longer. It's up to you now."

These words put Xu Hui in a difficult position. It was not hard to see that Duan Fei was a ruthless character.

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, she said, "Dad? You're the one who said you'd help me get a divorce smoothly."

That's why she's not in a hurry, because she has someone backing her up.

For the sake of two million, Xu Hui gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, I'll try my best."

Xu Hemei frowned slightly and corrected her, "You promised me that you would bring him to the Civil Affairs Bureau. I have to dissolve my marriage with him tomorrow, otherwise if he really stabs me, it will be considered domestic violence and I will be treated leniently."

Finally, she added, "Dad, if I don't successfully divorce Duan Fei, I'll have Mom use the money I earn from live streaming to make a down payment on a house and put it in her name. Anyway, she won't covet my house, and she might even help with the renovations."

Upon hearing this, Xu Hui readily agreed, "No, no, no, don't worry. Although Dad is old, I still have some connections and resources. Tomorrow, I will definitely bring that bastard Duan Fei to the Civil Affairs Bureau and help you resolve this matter neatly and cleanly. But the premise is that you don't do anything stupid, okay?"

Xu Hemei then gave a satisfied hum, "You said it, tomorrow morning at 10:30, I'll be waiting for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Xu Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Okay."

"I'll hang up now, I need to catch up on some sleep, I have to go to work at the hospital later."

"Okay, you should get some rest first."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Hemei let out a breath, and her tense nerves instantly relaxed.

Xu Hemei took half a day off, so she worked from noon until the early hours of the morning. After getting home, she dozed off for a few hours and was woken up by her alarm clock early in the morning.

The first thing I did when I woke up was text Xu Hui: "Dad, how are you?"

Xu Hui didn't reply for a long time, so she stopped caring, ordered breakfast takeout, and then got up to wash up.

Divorce is a significant matter. She dressed meticulously and was about to leave when she received a message from Xu Hui: "Don't worry."

My initial anxiety has eased somewhat.

At nine o'clock in the morning, she drove out and arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine-thirty sharp to get a number.

There were many people in line ahead of her, and she estimated that she would have to wait for about half an hour.

Time ticked by, but Xu Hui still hadn't sent a message, and her anxiety rekindled.

The number sign above her head kept calling out numbers, getting closer and closer to hers.

The clock struck ten, and she couldn't sit still any longer. She walked outside, stood for two minutes, then went back in to check the numbers. There were only five people left before it was her turn. If she took another number, she'd have to wait a long time, probably until the afternoon...

She couldn't sit still, so she went outside to call Xu Hui and also called Duan Fei.

Neither of them answered.

She stood outside the door, her emotions on the verge of collapse.

After a long while, a white BMW 5 Series slowly pulled up to the side of the road.

In a daze, Xu Hemei looked closely and saw that it was Xu Hui's license plate. Her depressed mood instantly dissipated.

Xu Hui got out of the driver's seat, and then the back door opened, and a burly man carried Duan Fei out.

She recognized the uncle; he was Uncle Liu, Xu Hui's best friend.

Xu Hemei walked up to them and smiled gently, "Dad, Uncle Liu."

Uncle Liu gestured with his chin towards her, "Hey, goddaughter, I've brought him to you. Is it him?"

Xu Hemei nodded, then turned her gaze to Duan Fei, who was being carried, and the smile in her eyes instantly turned cold. "Yes, thank you, Uncle Liu."

Duan Fei struggled and yelled at them, "Let me go! This is illegal detention! I can call the police!"

Xu Hui wouldn't listen to a word he said, "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm your father-in-law. You want to divorce my daughter, and I gave you a ride on my way. Instead of thanking me, you're accusing me of imprisonment. Bah, you ingrate!"

Duan Fei was held in Liu Shu's grip and struggled incessantly, shouting, "You're illegally detaining me and you even took my phone away!"

Xu Hemei was in a good mood upon seeing this scene, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

As expected, the older generation is the most efficient at getting things done. She doesn't care what means she uses; this divorce must be completed today.

Uncle Liu grabbed his arm and yelled, "Shut up! What phone? We didn't see it. Hurry up and go get a divorce from your goddaughter! Right now!"

Duan Fei practically gritted his teeth and spat, "Don't even think about it!"

Uncle Liu pointed at his head, his brows furrowing in displeasure. "You've really spoiled me! You try not doing this, or I'll take care of you!"

Even though Duan Fei was tough, his momentum weakened somewhat when faced with a threat like that from Uncle Liu. However, he still persisted verbally, saying, "Go ahead and do it! Try doing it! This is a society governed by law."
