Chapter 189: The Worn Underpants

Song Qingtian picked up her daughter: “Mommy will definitely work hard to earn money, so that Nuonuo can go to a better school in the future. But…”

“But what?”

Ling Nuonuo looked at Song Qingtian, very worried.

“Nuonuo needs to know that having money alone isn’t enough, because better schools also evaluate your character, your grades, and whether you’re diligent.”

“Nuonuo is very good and will work hard!”

“Then you can go. You take responsibility for being good and hardworking, and I’ll take responsibility for earning money. If Mommy doesn’t have enough money, will Daddy help, okay?”

“Okay!”

Song Qingtian turned to Ling Hanyu: “What do you think? Are you happy now?”

“Happy? What’s there to be happy about?”

He was completely expendable.

But he wouldn’t argue with her.

Song Qingtian happily walked over to Ling Hanyu, holding her daughter: “Mr. Ling, let’s go公证 first, and then we’ll go play. I’ve already promised Nuonuo.”

Ling Hanyu glared at Song Qingtian—she really wanted to strangle her!

In front of their daughter, Ling Hanyu couldn’t lose his temper, so he leaned close to Song Qingtian’s ear and breathed out: “Are you obsessed with money?”

Song Qingtian bit back her discomfort and glanced at Ling Hanyu: “Thank you, Mr. Ling.”

Ling Hanyu ignored her, turned around to get dressed, and called Yang Yifan, asking him to draft the agreement and bring a Lyu shi to the Marriage Notary Office.

Yang Yifan was shocked—divorce? So soon?

Without saying another word, Yang Yifan immediately followed him to the Marriage Notary Office.

When they arrived, the situation truly surprised Yang Yifan.

Even the notary office staff were surprised: this was the first couple they’d ever seen come to公证 after being married, and their child was already so big.

Ling Hanyu quickly signed the papers, while Yang Yifan stood there in a daze.

It seemed Song Qingtian had truly repented; otherwise she wouldn’t have done this.

And her real goal was divorce.

The prerequisite for divorce is financial independence.

Clearly, Song Qingtian understood this very well.

After both signed and the公证 was completed, Song Qingtian felt much more at ease. She even bought some candy to hand out to the notary office staff.

The notary office staff couldn’t understand why Song Qingtian would choose to do公证 under these circumstances—it was clearly a losing deal.

After all, they’d been married for three years and had a daughter; if the marriage really did end, the husband would still have to pay the wife a huge sum of property. If she could hire a good lawyer, maybe she could negotiate a fair division and keep custody of the daughter, which would make things even better.

But Song Qingtian’s approach seemed to go in the exact opposite direction.

Song Qingtian thanked them and left, carrying her daughter. Ling Nuonuo was very well-behaved; to help Mommy score extra points, she leaned on Song Qingtian’s shoulder and waved her little hand: “Bye-bye, pretty sister!”

“Bye-bye.”

The other woman was in her thirties, heavily made-up with a thick layer of white foundation, making her look at least ten years older than Song Qingtian. Yet she felt great about herself, always thinking Song Qingtian was beautiful and young—but in reality, they were about the same age.

Ling Nuonuo’s “sister” remark gave the other woman a huge boost of confidence, and she smiled from ear to ear.
