Eventually, Xu Lihua still got divorced from Mo Zhongliang.
Old Lady Moâs words were simple: "If you agree to divorce now, I will let Zhongliang go through the normal legal procedures for the division of property. With the Mo Familyâs wealth, you wonât get little; but if you disagree, I will immediately contact a lawyer, prepare the materials, and see you in court."
Old Lady Moâs gaze was as cold as ice: "Xu Lihua, even if youâre ignorant of the law, you should know the consequences of what youâve done if itâs exposed. I can easily let you leave without a dime. When it gets messy, youâll end up with nothing!"
Old Lady Moâs words had a lot of threats in them; if it were someone with deep thoughts and strategy, they might not be scared, but to frighten Xu Lihua, it was more than enough.
As expected by Old Lady Mo, Xu Lihua sat with a pale face in silence for a while before she finally agreed to a divorce settlement.
When Gu Shengyin looked up, she happened to see the deep disappointment and agony in her father Mo Zhongliangâs eyes.
After all, they were married for over twenty years, and no matter what, there was still some affection between them,
but Xu Lihuaâs actions were too absurd, making it impossible for Mo Zhongliang to forgive her.
Mo Beichen was still young, and the family kept these matters from him, not letting him know anything.
It wasnât until he couldnât find his mom that he began to cry loudly.
However, kids forget easily, and Old Lady Mo was adept at taking care of children. Within just a week, Mo Beichen returned to his former self, as if he had completely forgotten his mother wasnât around.
As for Gu Shengyin.
The reason of being raised as a boy by her biological mother since childhood was too bizarre; it would be embarrassing if mentioned.
Several people discussed it and decided to wait until Gu Shengyin was eighteen. Then, theyâd announce that there was a master who made a prophecy for Mo Beiyan when she was young, saying there would be a major calamity, and she could only avoid it by being raised as a boy before eighteen.
In families like theirs, which often trust the Xuan Familyâs fate predictions, using such a reason wouldnât be too shocking.
"But this still means Bei Yan will have to endure for a while," Old Lady Mo held her granddaughterâs hand, her tone not without apology.
Gu Shengyin chuckled freely: "Anyway, Iâve been accustomed to presenting myself in male attire for so many years, it doesnât mean much to me."
She spoke the truth, but to the elders listening, it only made them feel more tender towards her.
...
The students at Chuannan No.1 Middle School noticed that the school heartthrob Mo Beiye seemed to have changed again.
His hair dyed brown was dyed back, the alternative clothes were gone, and even the oddly shaped earrings and rings on his hands and ears were removed.
By next monthâs exams, Mo Beiye, whose grades had previously plummeted, was back at the front of the class.
It seemed like the previous genius and heartthrob had returned!
Still, there was something different. Mo Beiye used to be aloof, hardly speaking to anyone in class, and had no friends.
But now, Mo Beiye always had a smile on his face, greeting teachers and classmates he met at school amicably.
Mo Beiyeâs face made it incredibly easy to win othersâ favor!
In just under a month, Gu Shengyin became the most popular student in the class, even successfully mingling with the girls, becoming a friend to them.
