On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 63 Separation
Fu Mingqian's mind was made up, and no matter how much Shen Jiaxue and her family apologized and tried to persuade him, there was no room for negotiation.

A broken mirror cannot be mended, and the rift that has accumulated between them over the years is equally irreparable.

Fu Mingqian asked Shen Jiaxue to pack up her things, and then went to his workplace to file for divorce.

The Shen family never expected things to escalate to this point. Seeing that they couldn't gain anything and fearing the Fu family's wrath, they slunk away.

The farce finally came to an end, and the once chaotic living room returned to peace.

Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue helped Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu sit on the sofa and poured them a glass of water.

Fu Shuwen still had work to do, but now that the family matters had been resolved, he picked up his briefcase and returned to his workplace.

Fu Nianyao obediently hugged Tang Wanhua's neck, tilting her head on her shoulder, without making a fuss.

Tang Wanhua gently patted her back. Yao Yao was only five years old, and she really didn't know how to bring up the matter of Fu Mingqian and Shen Jiaxue's divorce.

After their divorce, Qingqing and Yaoyao went to live with the Fu family. Given Shen Jiaxue's character, she probably won't have any conscience and come to visit Qingqing and Yaoyao in the future.

It seems unlikely that the two sisters will ever see their mother again.

Tang Wanhua sighed, not knowing how to tell Yao Yao the truth.

Never mind, let's not talk about it anymore.

She can tell her mother slowly when Yao Yao wants to see her in the future.

But what Tang Wanhua didn't know was that Yao Yao actually understood everything.

While in daycare, she heard other children say that their parents stopped living together after their divorce.

She will be a child no mother wants from now on.

Yao Yao's eyes reddened, and tears involuntarily streamed down her cheeks.

wrong.

She is not an unwanted child.

She also has a father, grandparents, older brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, great-grandparents...

Yao Yao recited a long string of words in her mind, successfully calming herself down. She quietly raised her hand to wipe away her tears and tightened her arms around Tang Wanhua's neck.

When Fu Shi'an and Xie Yiran got home from get off work, they found the atmosphere at home was strange. They asked what was wrong and found out that Fu Mingqian wanted to divorce Shen Jiaxue. He had already submitted the application at his workplace and would go to complete the formalities once the application was approved.

The two were shocked for a moment, but after learning what Shen Jiaxue had done, they immediately understood.

The fact that things have come to this point is entirely the sister-in-law's own fault.

-

After Fu Mingqian decided to divorce Shen Jiaxue, the entire Fu family tacitly avoided mentioning her name again.

After submitting the divorce application, Fu Mingqian felt much more relaxed.

He and Shen Jiaxue had tormented each other for five years, and the divorce was a relief for him.

Fu Zhiqing was already nine years old and knew that this matter could not be kept secret, so Tang Wanhua told her about it after she got out of school.

Although Qingqing was saddened upon hearing this, she did not show it on her face.

She knew that her parents might end up getting a divorce.

She had overheard them talking about divorce during a previous argument.

She will take good care of her younger sister after her mother is gone.

Before they knew it, it was the weekend. To ease Fu Zhiqing and Fu Nianyao's mood, Tang Wanhua took her three daughters-in-law and four grandchildren to the department store and took them shopping.

Engineer Meyer arrived in Beijing today, and Fu Sinian went to the airport early this morning.

Engineer Meyer and translator Xiao Zhang rested at the guesthouse for the night, and tomorrow they would travel to Qiongzhou Island with Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned from the department store, it was already noon. Fu Shuwen and his sons had already prepared lunch. Because of the hot weather, Fu Shi'an took out a watermelon that had been chilled beforehand and cut it up.

"father!"

Fu Nianyao, carrying the schoolbag that Tang Wanhua had just bought for her, skipped and hopped towards Fu Mingqian.

Fu Mingqian bent down in advance, and when Fu Nianyao ran in front of him, he picked her up in his arms.

"Dad, look! Grandma bought me a new schoolbag. She said that in two years I can go to my sister's school. Auntie also bought me a new hair tie and a new dress. Hehe."

Fu Nianyao shared her newly bought items with Fu Mingqian, and seeing the bright smile on his daughter's face, Fu Mingqian smiled too.

Children at this stage will do anything they see. When Fu Nianyao ran up to Fu Mingqian to share her new purchase, Fu Cheng also ran over and clung to Fu Mingqian, wanting him to hold him.

Fu Mingqian bent down and picked up six-year-old Fu Cheng.

Looking at the chubby little boy in Fu Mingqian's arms, Ye Sangning said helplessly, "Fu Cheng, if you get any fatter, your uncle won't be able to carry you anymore."

"Hmph, I'm not fat!"

Fu Cheng's angry expression successfully made everyone laugh.

The Fu family was filled with laughter and joy for a moment.

"Come on, come on, come and eat some watermelon! If you're too slow, there won't be any left."

Fu Shi'an held up a freshly cut watermelon, teasingly speaking to it.

Seeing the sweet and tempting watermelon in his hand, Fu Cheng and Fu Nianyao quickly jumped off Fu Mingqian's arms and ran over.

After settling Maier and Xiao Zhang in, Fu Sinian also rushed back before lunch.

He and Song Jinyue stayed at home for two days. They were leaving Beijing tomorrow. After dinner, while everyone from the Fu family was there, Tang Wanhua brought up the matter of dividing the family property.

It had been agreed beforehand that they would separate the family property once Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue returned. Although Shen Jiaxue's incident occurred along the way, Tang Wanhua still decided to separate the family property before they left Beijing.

None of the four Fu brothers had any objections.

Logically, the power of the Fu family should be handed over to the eldest son, but if it is handed over to someone like Shen Jiaxue, the Fu family will be ruined by her sooner or later.

Therefore, Tang Wanhua never intended to hand over the power to manage the family to her in the first place.

Before Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue got married, Tang Wanhua had mentioned the matter of taking over the household to Ye Sangning and Xie Yiran. Unsurprisingly, the two of them refused outright.

Ye Sangning was so focused on scientific research that she couldn't spare any attention for the trivial matters at home.

Xie is still a child at heart. It's already quite good that he can take care of his little family. He just wants to give up and lie down.

The person who wanted to take control of the household was unsuitable, and the other two daughters-in-law weren't interested in it either, which gave Tang Wanhua a huge headache.

Fortunately, Fu Sinian is now married.

Based on Tang Wanhua's observations over the past two days, among her four daughters-in-law, Song Jinyue is the one she favors most in terms of power.

However, Song Jinyue and Fu Sinian are currently far away on Qiongzhou Island, and it is unknown when they will be transferred to the capital. Tang Wanhua plans to put aside the matter of taking charge of the family and divide the family property while they are both still here.

Tang Wanhua took out all the family's savings books, leaving half of it to hand over to the next heir in the future, along with the power to manage the family business, in order to ensure the continuation of the family line.

This has always been a rule of the Fu family. Fu Shuwen and Tang Wanhua, the current heirs, as well as Grandpa and Grandma Fu, the previous heirs, all received this money.

None of the four brothers had any objections to this.
Tang Wanhua meticulously calculated every expense and finished dividing the family property in half an hour.

Without Shen Jiaxue, that troublemaker, the division of the family proceeded very smoothly.

"Si Nian, Yue Yue, you two are due tomorrow..."

"vomit--"
