Chapter 916 Taking the First Step

Many people mistakenly believe that children are the same as cats and dogs, and that as long as they are fed, they have fulfilled their responsibilities. However, they do not know that children can also understand the adult world and are constantly exploring everything unknown.

Ever since Suning spoke the truth to his adopted son, Little Tiger, last night, the little fat boy has started to learn to think independently. Thinking back on his parents' previous daily lives, he really feels that his father's life is not easy.

Of course, the eight-year-old little tiger didn't know that this was a kind of dominance and oppression, but he understood his father's extreme irritability, and then he unconsciously prepared himself mentally for something bad to happen.

"Dad, do you really want to divorce my mom?" The little tiger looked at his father beside him with an innocent face, still wanting to persuade his parents.

"Yes! Your mother and I are both in great pain, but Dad will arrange everything for the future." Suning rubbed the chubby boy's head, then assured him with a smile on his face.

"Dad, but I really don't want to be separated from you."

"Haha, little tiger, Daddy will only divorce your mom. He won't really drive her away. You will still live with mom and the others in the future."

"Ah? Dad, is this really possible? Will my mom agree?" Hearing that he could still live with his family, the little tiger couldn't help but feel happy.

"Yes! You have to have faith in Daddy."

The little tiger looked at his father with a confused look. He also noticed the changes in his father. He always felt that his father was different from the previous father. In his little head, he thought that the current father was more confident. At the same time, the little tiger felt that he still liked his current father more.

……

Feng Xiaoqin did not return to Gu's house the next day. Instead, she came back early that afternoon. This made Su Ning feel a little surprised, but he soon realized that this was another form of resistance from Feng Xiaoqin.

Seeing Feng Xiaoqin's cold expression while cooking, Suning realized that this woman was indeed difficult to deal with. She was different from the women he had been with before. She might just look down on him as a husband from the bottom of her heart.

"Dad, have you told Qingyu?" Su Ning looked directly at Gu's father and asked during the meal.

"Huh? She did! She said she would try her best to come back tomorrow." Father Gu confirmed the explanation with a look of surprise on his face.

"Oh? Qingyu is no longer in Shanghai?"

"No longer! She said she was on a business trip to Guangzhou."

"That's fine! Let's have a small meeting after dinner to resolve the conflicts in our family."

"Hmph! You want to resolve the conflict? Then do you have money to buy a house?" Feng Xiaoqin on the side couldn't bear it anymore and immediately expressed her disdain and ridicule towards her husband.

"Feng Xiaoqin, eat first! I will give you an explanation after dinner." Suning looked at the woman next to him with some disgust. To be honest, Feng Xiaoqin looked really good, but Suning couldn't like her.

"Hmph!" This was the first time Feng Xiaoqin remembered her husband looking at her with such an annoyed look. Naturally, she felt a panic in her heart at this moment.

Grandma Gu and Father Gu looked at each other in surprise. They both felt the masculine temperament from Su Ning. Although they didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, they still lowered their heads and ate the rice in their bowls silently.

Soon, a depressing and suffocating atmosphere filled the air. Everyone ate dinner in a bad mood. After hastily finishing today's dinner, everyone took the initiative to sit in the living room and wait.

Su Ning looked at his family expressionlessly, then spoke his thoughts methodically, "Our family has been arguing over the house for a while now. I know it's all because of my incompetence, and I've also realized that Feng Xiaoqin and I have always had different values."

"Gu Lei, what do you want to say?" Feng Xiaoqin immediately panicked when she heard Su Ning say that they had different values. She couldn't help but wonder anxiously whether she had gone too far.

"Feng Xiaoqin, I know you have always wanted a house of your own, but we should work hard on our own instead of forcing dad and grandma, and my twin sister Gu Qingyu. You shouldn't compare yourself with the nanny all the time." Suning looked at the self-righteous woman in front of him and suddenly expressed all his opinions about Feng Xiaoqin.

"Hmph! Gu Lei, I've quit my job and am now a housewife. Your salary can only provide for the whole family's basic needs. If you don't get the whole family to work together, how are we going to buy a house?" Feng Xiaoqin asked again mercilessly. She felt that Su Ning in front of her was still the coward in her impression.

"Feng Xiaoqin, a person's greed is endless. When you were still in your hometown, you thought it would be great to marry in Shanghai. Now that you're married in Shanghai, you think the house is too small and you're eager to buy your own house. So let me ask you, after you have your own house, will you want anything new?"

"Gu Lei, shouldn't a man have his own dreams? Who says that once one dream comes true you can't have another one? I'm not a Shanghai man like you who is content with the status quo." Feng Xiaoqin never thought that she did anything wrong. Instead, she spoke her mind with a sarcastic look on her face.

"Feng Xiaoqin, now you admit that your values are different from mine, right? Have you never looked down on me from the beginning? And were you willing to marry me just for a Shanghai hukou?" Su Ning was prepared for Feng Xiaoqin's plausible arguments, so he questioned her with a sneer on his face.

"I..." Suning's barrage of questions made Feng Xiaoqin confused. Even Father Gu and Grandma Gu looked at Feng Xiaoqin questioningly.

"Feng Xiaoqin, what I hate most is that you always say that your life is worse than a nanny's. Then let me ask you, will the nanny have a betrothal gift from my Gu family? Can the nanny and I, Gu Lei, legally have children? Can the nanny truly become a member of our Gu family?"

"This..." Suning's subsequent questions made Feng Xiaoqin confused again. She finally realized her mistakes over the years and had been planning to ask the Gu family to help her buy a house.

"Of course! This family meeting today is to resolve the issues between the two of us. All the conflicts are about the house and me."

"Gu Lei, what exactly do you want to do?" Feng Xiaoqin, feeling somewhat ashamed of being questioned by Suning, asked again with a grim face.

"I went out to inquire about the market these past two days. Live-in nannies in Shanghai can earn around 8,000 to 9,000 yuan a month. I'll give you 10,000 yuan a month.

Besides, you have been married into my Gu family for almost ten years, so I will also calculate your time accordingly;
"So, in ten years, you should be earning 1.2 million yuan. And there's exactly 1.2 million yuan in this card. The password is Little Tiger's date of birth." Suning calculated this mentally while chatting away, pulling out a bank card and placing it in front of Feng Xiaoqin.

"What? Gu Lei, where did you get so much money?" Everyone present at this moment widened their eyes in shock. Feng Xiaoqin looked at Su Ning with an expression of disbelief and asked.

"You don't have to worry about that. Besides, I feel that our marriage has no meaning anymore, so you need to sign this divorce agreement with me first." Su Ning had no intention of explaining to Feng Xiaoqin. Instead, he took out two copies of the divorce agreement again.

"Ah? What? You actually want to divorce me?" Looking at the two copies of the divorce agreement on the table, Feng Xiaoqin looked at Su Ning with her eyes wide open in shock.

"Gu Lei, are you crazy? Don't you consider the little tiger?" At this time, Gu's father and grandmother Gu were also shocked. Gu's father quickly questioned Su Ning with a grim face.

"Dad, why should I consider others? Why should I live such a miserable life? I just like to spend the whole day doing nothing, so what?"

"This……"

"Feng Xiaoqin, with this money, you should be able to buy the house you wished for. Also, you'll have to stay here after we divorce. After all, Little Tiger can't leave his mother, so this can be considered a divorce without leaving home. You'll receive a salary of 10,000 yuan every month until Little Tiger graduates from high school and gets admitted to university."

"Gu Lei, are you truly crazy?" Seeing that Su Ning had thought everything through, Feng Xiaoqin began to panic. She looked at Su Ning with a bewildered expression. "That's right! You're driving me crazy. I've had enough of that repressed and humiliating life."

At this time, Su Ning did not hide his disgust for Feng Xiaoqin. A stupid woman who mistook her cleverness and scheming for ability, actually pretended to be affectionate and confessed her love to Zhan Xiang in the original play. It is really funny and ridiculous.

"Also, to prevent awkwardness between us after the divorce, I will move out directly and have already found a house nearby."

"Gu Lei, I've been married to you for ten whole years, but I didn't expect that this would be all I get in return. Don't you think I'm too heartless?"

"Feng Xiaoqin, what else are you not satisfied with now? You already have a Shanghai hukou, the down payment for a house is saved up, and you even have enough salary to pay for future mortgage payments. I, Gu Lei, have truly done my utmost."

"Gu Lei, you..."

"Okay! Sign! Then take the money, and we'll go our separate ways from now on." Su Ningke had no interest in arguing with a stupid woman. Instead, he waved his hand at Feng Xiaoqin with disgust on his face.

"What if I don't sign?" Feng Xiaoqin looked at Suning with a stubborn look on her face and asked.

"Simple! Just live your life well. Don't mention buying a house anymore, and don't compare yourself to the nanny. I, Gu Lei, and our Gu family don't owe you, Feng Xiaoqin."

"Okay! I'll sign! I, Feng Xiaoqin, am so heartless that I married you." Feng Xiaoqin stared at Su Ning with grief-stricken eyes, then gritted her teeth, picked up the pen and signed her name.

"Feng Xiaoqin, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau early tomorrow morning. The sooner you can resolve the matter, the sooner you can feel at ease."

"can!"

"Dad, I won't be able to move into the house I rented for a few days, so I want to squeeze in with you these days." After dealing with the matter between him and Feng Xiaoqin, Su Ning turned around and looked at Gu's father standing beside him and said.

"Okay! But are you really sure you've divorced Xiaoqin?" Father Gu nodded in confusion at first, then looked at Su Ning in disbelief again and asked.

"A dead marriage is meaningless! I won't regret my decision today."

"Hey! You're not a child anymore. I hope you won't regret it."

……

Then this family meeting, which was no less than a major earthquake in the Gu family, ended. The sad Feng Xiaoqin returned to the bedroom with the support of Feng Qianqian, and then Feng Xiaoqin immediately hugged her sister and burst into tears.

"Wow, wow, wow...Xixi, I really feel like it's not worth it!"

"Sister, now that you have this money, can't you fulfill your wish?"

"Sissi, but I lost my marriage!"

"Ah! There's always a price to pay! You'd better take it easy."

"No! I, Feng Xiaoqin, still can't accept this. I will make Gu Lei regret it for the rest of his life."

"Sister, why are you doing this? I think my brother-in-law's arrangement is very good."

"Very good? Sissi, you actually think it's good to be hit by money like this?"

"Uh……"

"Xixi, you can move into my room and sleep there. I'll be at ease being the Gu family's nanny. I want to see if I, Feng Xiaoqin, can make something of myself."

"Huh? Okay! I'll move tomorrow."

……

At this time, Grandma Gu and Father Gu also pulled Su Ning into Father Gu's bedroom with anxious faces, and then looked directly at Su Ning in front of them and asked doubtfully, "Gu Lei, where did you get so much money?"

"Dad, this money is all earned from stock trading. It is definitely legal income." Su Ning knew what Father and Grandma Gu were worried about. They were just worried that he would take risks and make mistakes.

"Really?" Father Gu and Grandma Gu looked at each other in surprise, and asked Su Ning with a questioning look.

"Of course it's true! Dad, Grandma, I won't do anything illegal."

"Hey! Gu Lei, why did you divorce Feng Xiaoqin so foolishly? Now you are getting a divorce but not leaving home. How are you going to find a wife in the future?" Grandma Gu on the side soon became angry. She felt that her grandson was too impulsive. She actually thought that her grandson had become smarter at the beginning.

"Grandma, I'm about to move out. It's the house next to ours where Zhan Xiang lives. I can naturally get married smoothly when I meet the right person in the future."

"Ah? Hasn't Zhan Xiang's house been rented out?" At this time, Gu's father looked at Su Ning in confusion and asked.

"Dad, Zhan Xiang's tenant already owes him a year's rent. It's impossible for him to continue living there. There's no such thing as that."

"Then... Zhan Xiang has agreed?"

"I agree! Actually, Zhan Xiang is a pretty good person."

"Gu Lei, the 1.2 million you just took out couldn't be borrowed from Zhan Xiang, right?" Seeing that Su Ning actually spoke well of the nouveau riche, Gu's father had a bad guess at this time.

"How is that possible! If you don't believe me, I'll show you my stock trading records. I've never lied to you since I was a child."

"Hey! You are becoming more and more incomprehensible."
