Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Stirring Emotions~

She finished speaking and then turned her head slightly to glance at Shen Hongxiu and Fu Rou, saying, "I deeply respect you both as elders, but if you don’t respect me, then I might really start coveting the position of the Young Madam of the Huo Family."

She paused for a moment, her tone carrying an implied meaning, "Do you still think now that I don’t have the ability to reach that position?"

An Ge dropped those words and turned to leave.

An Baoying was so furious she almost forgot to breathe. Her mind was filled with the image of An Ge actively kissing Huo Shaoyan, who, instead of getting angry, was deeply moved. It was the first time An Baoying clearly realized that An Ge was a threat to her status. If she could, she would wish for An Ge’s immediate demise.

No one else knew what was going on in An Baoying’s mind.

Shen Hongxiu was the first to react from the shock. Emotionally worked up, she asked Huo Shaoyan, "Ah Yan, don’t tell me and your mother that you’ve really developed feelings for that An Ge?"

Having completely calmed down, Huo Shaoyan denied it without hesitation, "No way. I’m not blind; I wouldn’t want someone like her."

But Shen Hongxiu didn’t buy his nonsense. Still agitated, she challenged, "Is that so? Then why did you just let her act that way with you?"

Huo Shaoyan was momentarily at a loss for words. Shen Hongxiu, still fuming, took heavy breaths, "Ah Yan..."

Feeling exceptionally irritated, Huo Shaoyan interrupted her, "I’ve already said, there’s no way I’d take an interest in a woman like her. If you don’t believe me, let’s proceed as planned and hold the engagement banquet with An Baoying on the 15th of next month. Once the results of the amniotic fluid DNA test come out, I’ll marry her."

Huo Shaoyan’s words instantly calmed everyone’s anger, including An Baoying’s.

...

Meanwhile, An Ge learned about her mother Ms. Wen’s health condition from Doctor Zhou. Confirming that her mother’s condition was stable, she left the hospital after receiving a call from Xiao Ye.

She sat in the car Xiao Ye came to pick her up in. Xiao Ye, driving, glanced at her and saw her gloomy expression. He frowned, "Why the long face? Cheer up; clients might take issue with that."

An Ge rubbed her face with her hand, trying to push away her negative emotions, and asked Xiao Ye, "Why does Mrs. Wang want to see me?"

Xiao Ye replied, "How should I know? She said she would only sign the contract and pay the deposit after seeing you."

An Ge tried to recall her only three encounters with Mrs. Wang, all of which were at the Huo Mansion playing mahjong. The first time, she accidentally poured tea on Mrs. Wang’s hand and got slapped. The second, in heavy rain, she held an umbrella for Mrs. Wang to the parking lot. The third, when Mrs. Wang twisted her ankle after her high heel broke, An Ge carried her to the car and took her to the hospital.

Guessing that Mrs. Wang probably found her trustworthy, An Ge prepared herself for the meeting.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the appointed location, a private room in the Bi’an Coffee Shop.

Once seated, Mrs. Wang said to An Ge, "A little over a month ago, you were just a maid serving tea at the Huo Family. I didn’t expect you’d transform into their god-daughter-in-law and now are working on ventures with Mr. Xiao. I underestimated you."

An Ge smiled and got straight to the point, "Mrs. Wang, feel free to be frank. Why do you insist on seeing me?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Xiao Ye, hesitating slightly, "It’s mainly because... Mr. Xiao doesn’t have the best reputation. His family elders all think he’s not upstanding, and I don’t trust him. But I find you more reliable."

Xiao Ye slammed the table in anger, "Even if I’m unreliable, I’m better than your husband cheating and having affairs!"

An Ge glared at him, "Do you want to succeed or not? If you do, keep your mouth shut."

Xiao Ye huffed but remained silent.

An Ge then addressed Mrs. Wang, "What is your request?"

Mrs. Wang said, "I want that bastard to leave empty-handed."

An Ge, having recently learned about Mrs. Wang’s husband’s situation, said, "That might be difficult. Your husband might have started with your family’s resources, but now his industry is bigger than your family’s. Even though he’s committed adultery and has two illegitimate children, making him leave with nothing is challenging."

Mrs. Wang bit her lip in anger, "Then what do you suggest?"

An Ge replied, "What we can help you with is striving for an equal division of assets."

She paused for a moment, her tone deliberate, "Mrs. Wang, losing in marriage isn’t the end; what’s frightening is a vendetta that leads to more serious consequences. To put it bluntly, your family isn’t what it used to be. If your divorce turns into an all-out war with your husband, it would harm both you and your family. More importantly, your daughter has a good relationship with him. It’s crucial to stop the loss in time and not let the innocent get caught in the crossfire, wouldn’t you agree?"

An Ge’s words hit the nail on the head.

Mrs. Wang thought for a long time before saying, "I’ll listen to you."

An Ge nodded and said, "The best way to end a marriage is through a peaceful resolution. If you have no objection, I’ll arrange for a lawyer and the relevant evidence chain to present your divorce demands to your husband, and you can then discuss it face to face."

An Ge received the ten percent deposit from Mrs. Wang half an hour later.

By then, the private room in the coffee shop was empty except for An Ge and Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye kicked her lightly, "The contract is signed, and we have the deposit. Where am I supposed to find a lawyer for you? Hiring one costs money."

An Ge sipped her juice and said, "Doesn’t your family already have an in-house lawyer?"

Xiao Ye rolled his eyes, "You mean my uncle, Xiao Chaofeng, the cold-blooded demon? Don’t even think about it. Not even my grandma can control him, and I wouldn’t dare say anything in front of him."

An Ge bit her straw, pondering for a moment, then asked, "Does your uncle have any weaknesses?"

Xiao Ye thought about it, "None."

An Ge said, "Everyone has a weakness. Try to think harder."

Xiao Ye was exasperated, "Really, he doesn’t have any. I’m telling you, Xiao Chaofeng is as tough as Huo Shaoyan. Do you think you can handle Huo Shaoyan?"

An Ge pressed her lips together, "According to the contract, Mrs. Wang gave us a fifty-thousand deposit, which is enough to hire another lawyer. But if a lawyer from the Xiao Family’s legal team steps in, Mrs. Wang’s husband will be intimidated by your uncle’s influence and won’t dare to play tricks. The case would be straightforward."

Xiao Ye knew this was true. After racking his brain for a long time, an idea flashed in his mind, "My uncle loves drinking. If anyone can outdrink him, maybe he’ll agree to help."

Upon hearing this, An Ge thought of her recently released prisoner friend. She said to Xiao Ye, "Then you should call him out tonight. I have a friend who’s excellent at this; let’s give it a try?"

The two readily agreed, and Xiao Ye agreed enthusiastically.

At 8 PM, at the renowned nightlife spot in Jingcheng, the Huangchao Night Club, Xiao Chaofeng sat in the top private room. Sitting across from him was Huo Shaoyan, smoking a cigarette. Xiao Chaofeng gestured at him with his chin, "You damn it, you smashed my head last night, and you still have the audacity to come?"

Jiang Fengmian, sitting nearby, sneered, "You think he came for your grand face?"
