Let s Divorce As Agreed - Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Shu Pan opened the door, feeling a wave of soreness in her shoulders. She endured the pain and found her father’s safe. Inside were some real estate properties, deeds, and jewelry. She put them in a document bag, intending to have them assessed and sold.

“Shaoting, Shu Pan is looking for someone to sell the properties and repay the debts. What should we do next?” He Ming received the news and immediately informed Gu Shaoting.

At this moment, Gu Shaoting sat in front of his office, looking at He Ming lazily leaning on the sofa across from him. His deep gaze carried a sharpness, and his fingertips rhythmically tapped on the desk.

“No rush. Shu Laide is still in the hospital. Games are more fun when played slowly,” Gu Shaoting said indifferently, his eyes dim and unfocused.

He lost his father when he was in his teens, and his mother raised him alone. Fortunately, his grandfather managed the company after his father’s death. Otherwise, with his uncle Gu Feng’s ambitious eyes, Gu Group would have been in his grasp long ago. After he graduated, his grandfather handed over the company to him after two years of training.

Back then, due to his youth, the shareholders were dissatisfied, and it took him some time to put the company on track. Afterward, the shareholders kept quiet.

Now, Gu Shaoting couldn’t bear to look back on that time.

And the culprit behind all of this was Shu Laide. He rarely thought about his father’s affairs, afraid that his hatred would cloud his judgment. However, after marrying Shu Pan, he saw how comfortable Shu Laide’s life was, and he felt discontented. But he was also conflicted because Shu Pan was innocent and knew nothing.

In fact, these past three years, apart from Shu Laide, who felt like a thorn in his life, everything was pleasant when he was with Shu Pan.

Shu Pan lived a simple life and never defied him. Especially in bed, she always had a shy expression and silently cooperated with him. He was satisfied in that aspect.

Recently, he felt that he cared more and more about Shu Pan, but he also thought about her father being Shu Laide. He worried about getting too involved and decided to take decisive action.

“You find someone to keep an eye on Shu Pan. Don’t let her make any deals. When the time comes, she will naturally come to me,” Gu Shaoting’s eyes were deep as he spoke slowly.

He Ming couldn’t understand what he intended to do.

When Shu Pan left her parents’ house, she held the document bag to her chest, feeling its weight. Her legs felt as heavy as lead. Looking at the road ahead, she felt a vast expanse of whiteness. She appeared dazed, and the words Gu Shaoting said echoed in her ears. Unless he let go, he wouldn’t agree to a divorce.

These past few days, Shu Pan had sought advice from friends and consulted with real estate agents. But the properties she wanted to sell received no interest. The deadline was approaching, and if she couldn’t repay the debts, the suppliers would file a lawsuit, and the properties would be seized by the court. Thinking about all this, Shu Pan felt as restless as an ant on a hot pan, spinning in circles.

Suddenly, Shu Pan remembered what the real estate agent had said, “Miss Shu, did you offend someone? Every time a buyer wants to finalize the deal, they change their minds shortly after. In fact, your plot of land is in the outskirts, in a good location. Development is underway there, and it’s a hot property.”

In an instant, Shu Pan understood. She was stunned, a layer of tears shimmering in her eyes. She felt darkness looming overhead, unable to see the sunlight.

Perhaps this was his scheme, and he had the ability to do it. Shu Pan felt that ahead of her was an abyss, and she had already fallen into it.
