Chapter 95

Go to work at the Jiang Group? Jiang Yiyan had never thought about it.

So without hesitation, she shook her head: "I won't go to work at my family's company. I'm quite happy with how things are now. Although I work at a qipao shop, that shop does very well, and we get so many orders every month that we can hardly keep up."

"Besides, my business partner is very innovative. We're planning to expand the shop soon. I'm really busy here and don't have any extra time to think about anything else."

But Jiang Cheng was not in a hurry.

Training the family heir was not something that could be rushed.

Seeing his daughter's current refusal, Jiang Cheng did not press further. He simply said he was glad she had found something she loved doing.

The Jiang family started with the clothing business, and his daughter working at a qipao shop could be seen as gaining experience.

If his son truly turned out to be hopeless, at least there was still his daughter who could take over.

"I see you have plans for your work. What about your personal life?" Jiang Cheng finally brought up the topic, "You and Mochuan... Are you really planning to divorce?"

Jiang Yiyan knew that if her father had come, he would certainly ask about her marriage with Wen Mochuan.

But Jiang Yiyan was firm. Without any hesitation, she said, "Dad, I've made up my mind. Please don't try to persuade me."

"Dad isn't trying to persuade you," Jiang Cheng said, "Based on Dad's understanding of Mochuan, he's not that kind of person. Given his character, when he chose to marry you, he must have cut off all ties with Shu Yao. He's a responsible young man; if there's one flaw, it might be that he's a bit too soft-hearted."

If he weren't soft-hearted, when Shu Yao came to him, he could have spoken harshly and rejected her outright.

If he still had feelings for Shu Yao, he wouldn't have called a driver to send her home and asked his daughter to pick her up.

On the surface, it might seem like he was protecting Shu Yao and burdening his daughter, but in reality, it shows that he considers his daughter part of the family and Shu Yao an outsider.

If they were to divorce just because of this, it would indeed be a bit trivial.

So he still advised his daughter to reconsider.

Jiang Yiyan understood her father's point but said, "Dad, our relationship has had problems for a long time. It's not just because of this incident that I decided to divorce him. Last night's incident was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Even without that, we might still end up divorcing due to other reasons."

"But hasn't your relationship been improving recently? You haven't been arguing or causing trouble, and Meimei seems very happy, always smiling."

Jiang Yiyan replied seriously, "People argue when they care. When they don't care anymore, they stop arguing."

Jiang Cheng was taken aback, perhaps thinking of himself, and suddenly understood. So he didn't try to persuade her anymore.

"You're already grown up, and Dad believes any decision you make is well-considered. So I won't try to persuade you. No matter what, Dad hopes you're happy every day. If being together makes you happy, stay together. If separating makes you happy, then separate." To him, his daughter's happiness was most important.

Jiang Yiyan always felt a bit of pity towards her father. She knew he was actually a decent father.

While he might not have been the best husband to her mother, as a father, he cared deeply for his children.

"I understand," Jiang Yiyan said kindly, "I'll live well and won't worry you."

"That's good," Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded.

Then, seeing that she hadn't touched anything on the table, he said, "I came at this time and made you miss your meal. Go back quickly." Go eat.

As he spoke, he stood up.

Jiang Yiyan also stood up and invited her father, "Dad, since you came all the way here, why not come inside? Meimei mentioned Grandpa earlier. Come in for a bit."

If it were another time, Jiang Cheng would have gone in, but today, his mood wasn't particularly good, so he declined.

"Another day, I'll come to play with Meimei."

Jiang Yiyan could sense his complex emotions and didn't insist on keeping him for dinner. Instead, she said, "Dad, once I settle into my new place, I'll personally invite you over for a meal. By the way, Mochuan gave me custody of Meimei, and even Feng Ma and Fang Fang will move with us. So you don't need to worry about Meimei and me."

Jiang Cheng wasn't surprised by this.

Based on his understanding of his son-in-law, he knew he would do such a thing.

And at the same time, Jiang Cheng thought of something else.

With Meimei staying with his daughter, Mochuan would have a legitimate reason to visit. After all, even though the adults were divorced, the child belonged to both of them.

Even if one parent has custody, the other still has visitation rights.

Jiang Cheng didn't express his thoughts but continued, "Good, once you've settled in, let Dad know, and I'll celebrate with you. Go back now and don't go hungry."

"Dad!" Seeing he was really leaving, Jiang Yiyan called out to him.

Jiang Cheng turned around, looking at his daughter with a hint of fatigue but a smile on his face.

"What is it?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Jiang Yiyan smiled back, then asked, "Dad, didn't you come here for something related to my brother?" She assumed that even if he came for other reasons, he would mention Jiang Xu.

But he didn't mention him at all and was leaving just like that.

Since he didn't bring it up, Jiang Yiyan couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Yiyan's question caught Jiang Cheng off guard. He suddenly realized that his daughter thought he had come to plead for his son.

Jiang Cheng had no intention of doing that.

This time, Xu's actions were truly excessive. Even if his daughter and son-in-law chose to forgive him, he would still hold him accountable.

Or rather, Jiang Cheng was deeply dissatisfied with Xu's feelings for Shu Yao.

Jiang Cheng intended to punish his son and give him a lesson.

So, Jiang Cheng only smiled and said, "Your brother did something wrong. He hit someone, so he deserves punishment. Let's keep him locked up for a few days so he can reflect on his actions."

Jiang Yiyan finally realized that he truly had no intention of helping, so she didn't say anything more.

.

Jiang Yiyan preferred to act decisively without dragging things out. Since she had made her decision, she wanted to quickly get the house outside ready and move out as soon as possible.

So, after finishing a batch of paintings, Jiang Yiyan asked Yu Wenlai for leave.

"I have some matters to attend to these days and would like to take a few days off. Once I'm done, I'll work extra hours to catch up on my work."

Yu Wenlai immediately replied, "No problem."

But then he quickly added with concern, "Do you need any help?"

Jiang Yiyan: "No, I can handle it myself."

Seeing this, Yu Wenlai didn't press further and simply sent an "OK" emoji to end the conversation.

However, while the WeChat chat ended, Yu Wenlai's mind wandered a bit.

Ever since Jiang Yiyan subtly expressed her desire to divorce in front of him, Yu Wenlai's feelings for her intensified significantly.

Yu Wenlai could be said to have fallen in love with Jiang Yiyan at first sight.

However, when they first met, she was married with children. Even if he had feelings for her, he suppressed them early on.

Given his character, he would never do anything to break up a family.

But if she were to divorce, things would be different.

If she divorced, she would be single again, and he would have the right to pursue her.

However, she only mentioned it once and never brought it up again. Yu Wenlai wasn't sure about her current emotional state.

Since she didn't bring it up, he couldn't ask either.

Should he directly ask, "Has your friend gotten a divorce recently?" That would definitely be inappropriate.

Even if she did divorce, he doubted he would have a chance with her.

Yu Wenlai allowed himself a brief distraction before checking the time and forcing himself back into work mode.

That night, Jiang Yiyan took out the property certificates for several properties from her safe. With her new understanding of this world and city, she compared the properties and chose the most suitable one.

She definitely needed to live in the city center for convenience.

It also needed to be close to Meimei's kindergarten, making it easier to pick her up and drop her off.

The house needed to be large enough to accommodate everyone.

Fortunately, the properties left by her mother were all spacious, even the apartment near the Jiang Group in the city center was over 100 square meters.

After selecting the house, the next day, Jiang Yiyan went to check it out.

Many houses nowadays come fully furnished, so besides adding some daily necessities, there wasn't much else to worry about.

Jiang Yiyan chose a four-bedroom, two-living room house in the city center, close to Meimei's current kindergarten and future elementary school.

There was a hospital and supermarket nearby, making daily life very convenient.

After seeing it, Jiang Yiyan was even more determined to live there.

So that afternoon, she started setting up the new home.

In about three days, Jiang Yiyan had the new place arranged neatly and warmly.

When she returned home that evening and saw Wen Mochuan again, she brought up the topic of divorce.

"The bruise on your face has healed a lot; it should be completely gone by tomorrow morning. Let's go get our divorce certificate early tomorrow." Jiang Yiyan spoke calmly.
