Defrosting The Cold Young Master
Chapter 956 - 956 960 Never Die

Chapter 956: Chapter 960: Never Die Chapter 956: Chapter 960: Never Die “You… you…” Senior Madame Xiang’s vision went dark, and she almost fainted.

Her two daughters quickly supported her from either side.

Her eldest daughter, Xiang Baolian, holding her arm, looked up at Senior Master Xiang with tears in her eyes, “Dad, no matter what, you and mom have been husband and wife for so many years, one day as husband and wife forges a lifelong bond…”

“Husband and wife?” Senior Master Xiang sneered coldly, his gaze sweeping once more over everyone present, “Ladies and gentlemen, since everyone is here today, I will shamelessly ask you all to bear witness. I, Xiang Xiongyi, have lived a life that I can account for to the heavens and to everyone here, but have failed only my first wife. The promises I made to my first wife, I have fulfilled none. Now, the only wish I have for the rest of my life is to properly raise my first wife’s sole descendant to adulthood, to let him inherit my mantle and be the heir of the Xiang Family. Since Wang Qiulan opposes my decision, I now formally decide that I want a divorce from Wang Qiulan!”

Senior Madame Xiang cried out in shock, “What, what did you say?”

The guests present were also very surprised.

At Senior Master Xiang’s status, divorce was a very rare occurrence.

Even if the relationship was strained, at most, they would live separately, or under the same roof but independently.

Someone in Senior Master Xiang’s position, especially at his age, had never undergone a divorce.

And it was precisely because of this that Wang Qiulan was emboldened, determined to never make life too comfortable for Senior Master Xiang and Lingyue.

But she never thought, just because it had not happened before, didn’t mean it would never happen.

Senior Master Xiang actually wanted to divorce her!

“No! This is impossible!” Senior Madame Xiang shook her head, “I am already of such an old age, and you still want to divorce me; where can I put my face? Xiang Xiongyi, you must be dreaming, I am yours in life, and in death, I shall be buried in the Xiang family’s grave. Never in my life will I divorce you, absolutely not!”

Back then, the reason she had climbed into Xiang Xiongyi’s bed and wracked her brain to marry him was not only because her father valued the Xiang Family’s power and status and wanted to make a marriage alliance, but also because she loved Xiang Xiongyi.

If it weren’t for her genuine love for this man, no one could have forced her to do such debasing things.

She thought, as long as she could marry Xiang Xiongyi and bear his child, they could develop a deep affection over time and live a happy and fulfilling life together in their later years.

But in reality?

She spent her life in vain by Xiang Xiongyi’s side, gaining nothing.

All her life, Xiang Xiongyi was cold as ice to her, never treating her as his wife.

Now, with more than half of her buried in the grave, he actually wanted to divorce her.

Then her lifetime of sacrifices, in the end, would all be in vain?

“No divorce!” she glared stubbornly at Senior Master Xiang, her teeth clenched, “Even in death, not a divorce!”

“Divorce isn’t something you can resist just because you don’t want to,” Senior Master Xiang said coldly, “If you don’t agree to the divorce, I will sue for divorce in court, and in six months, the court will grant it.”

Suddenly, Senior Madame Xiang’s second daughter tugged at her clothes and whispered something in her ear.

Gradually, a hesitant expression appeared on Senior Madame Xiang’s face.

She looked at her two daughters supporting her, and then at her grandson and granddaughter, and finally made up her mind, gritting her teeth, “Fine, we can divorce, but I want fifty percent of Xiang Group’s property!”
