Chapter 279: Finding Out About the Divorce Agreent
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shao Qihai was extrely vigilant.
The five kids looked at each other. Shao Dong smiled and said, “No, we didn’t an that. We also know that after you get a divorce, Mommy will have to move out of the Shao Family’s house. We don’t want her to leave either.”
Only then did Shao Qihai’s expression improve a little. Shao Dong continued. “So, I think we can reach a compromise regarding your situation.”
“A compromise?”
Shao Nan added, “That’s right. Let’s compromise. We’ve already discussed you and Mommy raising us together, so you and Mommy can sign a divorce agreent first.”
Shao Qihai’s heart skipped a beat when he heard him ntion a divorce agreent. “Wouldn’t signing it an that the marriage is over?”
“No.” Shao Nan explained. “Dad, this is just signing a divorce agreent. It’s not really getting a divorce. You don’t have to be nervous. Based on your situation, this is the most suitable compromise. I’ve read a lot of legal books. I’ve even seen a written divorce agreent before. I think this thod is quite preferable.”
Shao Qihai heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he suddenly realized sothing. Wait, since when had he confird that they were going to raise the children together? Had he agreed to it just now?
Shao Qihai recalled it and realized that he seed to have agreed, but he also seed to have not. However, the children seed certain that he had agreed.
Shao Qihai wanted to revisit that topic when he heard Shao Xi say, “Dad, you really don’t have to worry. Mommy will keep her word. Since the two of you have already agreed not to get a divorce for the ti being, she will hold up her end of the deal. Maybe you two won’t have to get a divorce in the future and will just tear up the divorce agreent.”
“In that case, wouldn’t this be an unnecessary move?” Shao Qihai retorted.
“It’s not unnecessary, Dad. The nature of this divorce agreent is clear… Overall, it’s ant to give Mommy a sense of security.” Shao Nan explained. “Dad, after signing this agreent, it will feel different for you and Mommy. It’s also evidence that you’ve let go and taken this big step.”
Shao Xi nodded. “That’s right. Previously, you guys were in a deadlock. It’s useless to drag this out. But after signing the agreent, things will be different. Your relationship can be considered temporarily over, but this is not the end. This can be the start of a new phase.”
“A new phase ans a new beginning. When the ti cos, whether you want to pursue Mommy or not will depend on your own ability. That’ll truly be a fresh start.”
Shao Qihai’s expression was uncertain. What the children were saying was reasonable. Most importantly, like Shao Nan had said, signing the divorce agreent would actually give Mu Jingzhe a sense of security.
Now that he thought about it, Mu Jingzhe had seed hostile to him after his return. At the ti, he hadn’t understood because Mu Jingzhe had never stopped him from interacting with the children. Previously, there had been a knot in their hearts, and Mu Jingzhe had even helped them think of a solution.
However, this didn’t an that Mu Jingzhe didn’t harbor any hostility toward him. In her opinion, he was the person who was snatching the children from her.
The reason they hadn’t gotten a divorce until now was indeed because of the children. Therefore, perhaps signing this agreent might really give her a sense of security.
Without hostility, perhaps there could really be a new beginning.
Seeing that Shao Qihai was really wavering at that mont, Shao Dong said warmly, “Dad, Little Nan and Little Xi are right. This end is also a beginning. Everything will be better than it is now, right? Don’t worry, we’ll help you when the ti cos.”
“Really?” Shao Qihai’s eyes lit up when he heard that they would help him.
“Of course. Actually, no one wants you to stay together more than us.” Shao Dong nodded. “You also know that if we help, you’ll get twice the results with half the effort, right?”
Who didn’t know that?
“You really mustn’t lie to .” Shao Qihai wanted to confirm it.
“I’m not lying to you. However, if you don’t listen and insist on what you want, you’ll make things too ugly and you’ll realize how powerful we are.” After Shao Dong and the others said those nice things, Shao Xi stabbed him again with a hint of a threat.
Overall, they cooperated quite well, like an angel and a devil.
However, Shao Qihai felt a headache coming on. He was really afraid. “Little Xi, you…”
“This is what Little Xi is like. He always likes to discuss the worst outco and say the most vicious words. Don’t mind him. We won’t go that far, Daddy.” Shao Dong patted Shao Xi’s shoulder to shut him up.
Shao Qihai nodded, but a voice in his heart told him that if he really insisted, it would be hard to say.
He sighed and confird it again. “You really aren’t lying to . You’ll really help , right?”
“We’re not lying. Dad, did you grow up being lied to? You’re our daddy, so why would we lie to you? We haven’t lied to you more than a few tis in the past. Besides, you should agree with us. This end isn’t actually an end. It’s a new beginning. Dad, have faith in yourself. You’re actually quite outstanding. You just have to slip into Mommy’s heart.”
Shao Qihai was indeed convinced. “Alright, I’ll believe you this once. You must keep your word.” They couldn’t lie to their old man.
“Don’t worry, Daddy. We’re your biological children after all. Even if our bones break, our tendons will still be attached.” Shao Xi took this upon himself.
Shao Nan got up. “Then I’ll go draft the divorce agreent first.”
Mu Jingzhe hadn’t expected Shao Dong and the others to be so fierce. She had so theories while cooking, but she hadn’t expected a conversation to solve the problem that had been weighing on her heart for so long. They were actually going to raise the children together!
What kind of concept was this? It ant that after the divorce, she, as a stepmother, would still be able to raise them like their biological mother. She’d no longer have to worry that after the divorce, she would have absolutely nothing to do with the children.
“Ah, Little Dong, how did you do it? How did you convince your father?” When Shao Dong asked Mu Jingzhe to follow him to discuss the divorce agreent, Mu Jingzhe was stunned.
“By just appealing to his logic and emotions. Daddy is a sensible person, so he agreed.” Shao Dong spoke up for Shao Qihai. He held Mu Jingzhe’s hand and said seriously, “Mom, actually, you’re not the only one who can’t bear to part with us. We can’t bear to part with you even more.”
Therefore, they wanted to work hard with Mu Jingzhe. They really didn’t want to be separated from her.
“Little Dong, you guys are aweso.” Mu Jingzhe’s heart was filled with warmth. She felt that everything had been worth it.
The divorce agreent was drafted very smoothly and basically didn’t require any revisions. This was because there was no conflict over the assets and property and Mu Jingzhe hadn’t thought of asking Shao Qihai for anything. Since their money was earned and spent personally by them and the house was Shao Qihai’s, there was not much to say. It was clear and simple.
The only controversy was the issue of child support, but they had already co to an agreent about this problem—joint custody. This was also the significance of the divorce agreent.
After confirming that there was no mistake, Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qihai signed and pressed their thumbprints on the paper.
When they exchanged papers with each other, Mu Jingzhe looked at her copy and only then felt that it was real.
She felt like she was in a dream. Shao Qihai felt the sa way.. However, it wasn’t because he was in a splendid mood but rather because he felt a little helpless.
