Chapter 181: A big hoax
Huian’s face brightened upon seeing them.
“Mom, Dad!” she hugged them.
But Xiang Wei and Xiang Qingge didn’t react with that same excitement.
The others turned serious on their arrival.
Assistant Xin also arrived.
Xiang Wei said, “Huian, we have brought the contract. Liu Hai, Jinhai, and I have checked and agreed on all the terms and conditions. Take the papers and sign them.”
“En!”
Huian’s hands were itching to sign on those papers.
Once I sign them, the baby will be mine! You have such sad luck, Nana. Even though you are the biological mother, you won’t have any right over him. This is your punishment. You tried to separate Jinhai and me, and I separated you from your baby.
Heh! Even after all I did, I still won in the end. I got Jinhai and your baby, both of them. And you…you are left with nothing!
Huian took the papers and just roughly glanced over them.
She found nothing wrong. Moreover, Jinhai and both her father and father-in-law have drafted it so obviously, there can be no mistakes.
“Here.” Xiang Wei offered her pen.
Xiang Qingge felt hurt, but she knew that this was the right thing to do.
Liu Chunhua, who had no idea, sadly asked her husband. “Hai, are we really doing this?”
Liu Hai hesitated but faintly nodded.
She drooped her shoulders.
She is a mother too. Snatching away someone’s child is the biggest torture you do to a mother.
Huian smiled. “Don’t worry, Mom. Yesterday, I promised, right? That I will raise and take good care of the baby.”
Liu Chunhua looked away and said nothing.
Jing was tired of seeing her third class acting.
Even D-listed actresses do better than you.
Huian took the pen.
Nobody showed it on their faces, but they were carefully watching her every move like a hawk.
Jinhai had already signed the papers. Beside it, Huian started to sign on every blank space where her signature was required.
As soon as she signed on the last page, a glint passed through Jinhai’s eyes, and he faintly smiled. Liu Hai and Jing silently looked at each other and nodded.
Huian said, “Here, done.” She handed back the papers.
Jinhai said, “Xin.”
Assistant Xin understood. “I’ll leave now and immediately submit these papers.” He took them and left.
Huian asked, “Where is Nana’s contract?”
Xiang Wei said, “Jinhai is going to take Nana with him in his office. Anyway, isn’t Nana working in Liu Corps again? They will do the formalities there itself.”
Huian didn’t want them to go alone and get an excuse to spend time together. She had no choice but to bear it. Once Nana also signs the contract, then only she will finally get relieved.
Jinhai asked, “Nana, are you tired to go now?”
Nana shook her head. “No, I’m fine.”
He nodded. “Let’s go.”
—
Inside the car, Nana was contemplating as to what is going on. Jinhai said that she doesn’t have to worry about the contract, but then she was wondering what the papers that Huian signed on were?
She looked outside the window and noticed that it wasn’t the road to go to Liu Corps.
She said, “Liu Jinhai, I think you took the wrong turn.”
Jinhai narrowed his eyes. “No, we are going the right way.”
Huh?
She was puzzled.
After a while, he stopped the car in front of a big gate.
They got out, and she saw the name – ‘Civil Affairs Bureau.’
Here?
Jinhai said, “Come.”
She didn’t understand what was going on.
The manager welcomed them and took them to a private room.
“Sir, whenever you are ready, we are waiting outside.”
“En.”
The manager closed the door behind and left them alone.
“Nana.” Jinhai held her hands and looked at her seriously. “I need to tell you something.”
“Yes?”
Jinhai took out some papers and showed them to her. “Read this.”
Nana furrowed her brows and started going through them. Her eyes widened, and her hands started trembling.
She looked at him, stunned. “This…? These are marriage registration papers…for us.”
“Yes.”
“I-I don’t understand. How is this possible?” Her heart was drumming so loudly that she felt it would jump out of her chest.
Jinhai said, “The papers that Huian signed was not any contract.”
She kept on looking.
“They were divorce papers.”
“What!?”
Divorce?
“Yes. This was the plan Dad, uncle, and aunt Xiang and I made yesterday. We all were troubled that Huian is not willing to divorce. Uncle and Aunt Xiang said that she is stubborn and won’t ever agree. They said that tricking her is the only way. So, we came up with this plan. When Huian said that she would raise our child, we got the perfect excuse.”
Flashback.
In the room where everybody gathered, Xiang Wei said, “Huian once again tried to threaten us with her life.”
Liu Hai and Jinhai stared at him.
“This cannot go on. We have to do something to make her divorce you. I can’t watch her ruining everything.”
Liu Hai asked, “How will we get her signature?”
“She has given the reason herself. She said that she wants to raise your child. We will lie to her, saying that she has to agree to some terms and conditions for which we will make a contract between her and Jinhai. She also understands the current situation that this is the last card she has. She will have no option but to accept it.”
