Defrosting The Cold Young Master
Chapter 965 - 965 969 I Wont Sign Even if I Die

Chapter 965: Chapter 969: I Won’t Sign Even if I Die! Chapter 965: Chapter 969: I Won’t Sign Even if I Die! The family situation of Senior Master Xiang was well known among the elite circles of Beijing.

Those who were well-off could afford to be choosy about their brides, and no one wanted to choose someone like Xiang Baolian and Xiang Baozhu.

As a result, when Xiang Baolian and Xiang Baozhu reached the age suitable for discussing marriage, they could not find husbands of equal social status and had to marry below their class.

Jii Chunjue and Shao Changjun were both good-looking and came from reputable families, but their financial circumstances were average, and they did not have much money.

Over the years, thanks to the halo of being “Son-in-laws of the Xiang Family,” their lives had been rather comfortable.

Especially since they were of lower status, usually unexposed to the circles of the top-tier elite in Beijing, they were surrounded by people of their own class.

In the eyes of their peers, the Xiang Family was an extraordinarily prestigious entity.

And “Son-in-laws of the Xiang Family” were people who warranted their utmost respect.

The two men, because of the title “Son-in-laws of the Xiang Family,” were respected and flattered wherever they went; although they were limited in ability and had not become high-ranking officials, both were currently bureau-level officials, which they found quite satisfactory.

But if Senior Master Xiang really cut ties with them, whether they could retain their positions as bureau-level officials after today was uncertain.

If the news spread, they would quickly go from being respected and envied “Son-in-laws of the Xiang Family” to becoming the butt of jokes among others.

Their later life would be completely over.

They continuously helped Xiang Baozhu and Xiang Baolian beg for mercy; two men and three women cried and pleaded in a group.

Throughout all this, Senior Master Xiang did not even grant them a glance.

When he made up his mind about something, no one could change it.

Senior Madame Xiang even said something as drastic as “I will die together with you,” but being surrounded by four or five bodyguards next to Eldest Xiang, she couldn’t even touch Senior Master Xiang’s clothes.

Soon, the documents were drafted.

The lawyer handed the documents to Wang Qiulan, Xiang Baozhu, and Xiang Baolian.

Wang Qiulan tore the documents to shreds in a matter of seconds, roaring like mad, “I won’t sign, I’d rather die than sign!”

Xiang Baozhu and Xiang Baolian followed suit and tore up their documents.

“Not signing doesn’t matter,” Senior Master Xiang said from above, looking down at Wang Qiulan with a cold voice, “Just wait to receive a court summons; if the court holds a public trial, even more people will know about the disgraceful things you’ve done! And you two…”

Senior Master Xiang looked toward Xiang Baozhu and Xiang Baolian, “If you do not sign, tomorrow I will publicly announce in the newspaper that I am disowning you two as my daughters.”

Jii Chunjue and Shao Changjun were scared.

They held office too; if Senior Master Xiang really made a public announcement, what would happen if their superiors and subordinates saw it? Where would they put their faces?

They could tell that Senior Master Xiang had made up his mind, and no amount of pleading would change that now.

Each nudged the wife next to him, “Just sign it.”

Xiang Baolian and Xiang Baozhu were reluctant.

But reluctance was futile.

Senior Master Xiang had made up his mind to cut ties with them, and even if they cried to death here, they couldn’t change his decision.

With hearts reluctant and unwilling, they took the pen offered by the lawyer and signed the documents.

After signing, Xiang Baozhu looked up at Senior Master Xiang and roared, “You will regret this! You will definitely regret this!”

After shouting this, she stood up, pushed through the crowd, and ran out like a madwoman.

Jii Haomiao hesitated, then chose not to seek trouble from Senior Master Xiang’s side and followed his mother as she left.

Jii Chunjue got up from the ground, head hung low, and also staggered away.

Xiang Baolian also wanted to leave, but she couldn’t just leave her mother behind.

Her mother was almost fainting from crying, looking like she was at death’s door.

Senior Master Xiang instructed the lawyer, “If Wang Qiulan refuses to sign, then you file for divorce in court now.”

The lawyer nodded in agreement.

Senior Master Xiang commanded the security officers, “Clear out the unnecessary people; Xiao Yue is about to pay respects to our ancestors.”

The security officers obeyed, swarming forward, gagging Wang Qiulan and Xiang Baolian’s mouths, and carried both out of the living room.

Shao Changjun didn’t wait for the security officers to carry him; he got up on his own and left with his head down, dejectedly.

In the corner, Shao Bingyi watched everything that unfolded before her, her eyes filled with tears and hatred.
