Chapter 711: 150: Parent-child relationship_4

Without the System’s help, Zhang Xianxian’s dance moves were stiff, her limbs uncoordinated, and there was not a trace of natural grace or beauty to speak of—not to mention that she couldn’t even compare to the backup dancers.

The onlookers discussed animatedly, "My God! This is the top talent of Qing City? She should save herself some embarrassment!"

"Money really does make a difference; how else could such a person claim the spot of the top talent?"

"I heard that this young miss announced some impressive Z Plan before, but the press conference was interrupted right at the start, and until now, the Z Plan launch has not been rescheduled. Looks like she wanted to use her dance tonight to divert everyone’s attention for a marketing stunt, but it turned out to be a flop."

"What a disgrace."

"..."

The viewers watching the live broadcast were speechless too, giving out bad ratings en masse.

[Is this it? This is called the top talent?]

[If you can’t dance, don’t scare people by showing up.]

[I’m going to be sick.]

[I remember Zhang Xianxian used to be different in the past, what’s going on with her now?]

Once the dance was over, Zhang Xianxian had been full of confidence, but upon seeing the comments in the live stream, her face instantly turned pale.

Although she knew that her graceful dancing in the past was thanks to the System’s aid, Zhang Xianxian hadn’t expected that her professional abilities would plummet to such an extent without it.

Grandma Lu stood with her hands on her hips, laughing boisterously, "Lulu, is this the ’eye-opener’ you were talking about for all of us? Tsk tsk tsk, it really did ’blind’ me!"

She knew well that Zhang Xianxian couldn’t dance the Dunhuang Feitian properly.

Bai Lu frowned slightly, "Mom, maybe Xianxian is just not feeling well tonight, so that’s why she made a mistake..."

Grandma Lu couldn’t be bothered to argue with Bai Lu and took Lu Manshan by the hand, "Let’s go over there."

Bai Lu immediately followed Grandma Lu’s steps, "Mom, I still want to introduce Manshan to Xianxian."

"No need, Mom," Lu Manshan turned to look at Bai Lu, "I have just returned to the country and want to spend more time with Grandma."

Bai Lu’s face was a picture of defeat.

She had thought that Zhang Xianxian would win over her son tonight, after which he would follow Lu Ye on the path to winning a wife.

But it didn’t turn out that way...

No need to rush, though. Zhang Xianxian was just in a temporary slump; she was bound to get back on her feet in a few days.

There is plenty of time to come.

She was determined to show Lu Manshan a different Zhang Xianxian.

With that in mind, Bai Lu narrowed her eyes in thought.

**

The next morning.

The first day of the new year.

On the first day of the new year, everywhere was filled with jubilant festivity, except for the Sun Family.

At the dining table.

Lin Guimei slammed the drafted divorce agreement onto the table, "Dingbang, let’s get a divorce."

A divorce?

Sun Dingbang was first stunned, then managed a smile, "It’s Chinese New Year, Guimei, what kind of joke is this?"

"I’m not joking with you." Lin Guimei continued, "I’ve had enough these past years. The divorce papers have been prepared by a lawyer. We divorce, and I leave with nothing—but Shan Shan stays with me."

Sun Dingbang frowned slightly and picked up the divorce agreement from the table, realizing only then that his wife was not joking.

She was serious about wanting a divorce.

Mother Sun stood up from the dining table, "Guimei! Why do you want to divorce Dingbang all of a sudden? If there’s something Dingbang has done wrong, I can make him change, can’t I?"

In the past, divorce would have been music to Mother Sun’s ears.

She had always looked down on Lin Guimei, a country girl.

But times had changed. Lin Guimei was about to inherit the formula for Beauty Chant. How could she let Lin Guimei divorce Sun Dingbang at such a time?

"No need for change, I just want to take Shan Shan and leave here immediately." Lin Guimei’s voice was cold.

Sun Shanshan chose this moment to speak up, "Dad, since my mom no longer loves you, why keep her tied to you? It’s not good for either of you, you should let go!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Dingbang looked at Sun Shanshan, his eyes filled with surprise.

He had not expected that his daughter, who had always been closest to him, would take her mother’s side.

"Guimei, do you insist on getting a divorce?" Mother Sun looked at Lin Guimei with a conciliatory demeanor, "You and Dingbang have been married for so many years..."

Lin Guimei interrupted Mother Sun, "People seek to go higher, water flows lower. Your son has been nothing but a low-ranking clerk even after struggling for over a decade. Why should I continue to live in hardship with him?"

After all, she was about to become a big businesswoman.

Sun Dingbang wasn’t even qualified to polish her shoes.

At those words, Mother Sun angrily said, "Lin Guimei, I knew you were no good from the start! If you want to divorce, you should leave with nothing. Shan Shan is the blood of the Old Sun Family, you may not take her away!"

Lin Guimei, this vile woman always climbing up and trampling down, must feel that the Sun Family no longer meets her standards, which is why she suddenly wanted a divorce.

Disgusting.

Sun Dingbang looked at Lin Guimei with a pained expression, "Guimei, are these your true feelings?"

"Did I say anything that was untrue? Sun Dingbang, I don’t want to argue with you! Let’s save face for both of us and sign the papers."

"We split the property half and half, but Shan Shan is mine." Sun Dingbang pushed the divorce agreement back towards Lin Guimei.

At this, Mother Sun immediately said, "Why should the property be split half and half? If she wants a divorce, she must leave with nothing, and Shan Shan must stay with us!"

"Shan Shan staying with you?" Lin Guimei frowned at Mother Sun, "Impossible, Shan Shan is my daughter!"

"If that’s impossible, then don’t think about getting a divorce." Mother Sun declared angrily, "Shan Shan is the seed of our Old Sun Family, what does that have to do with you?"

With her around, Lin Guimei would not even think about taking away Sun Shanshan.

Lin Guimei looked at Mother Sun with a faint smile, "There’s something I originally didn’t want to reveal, but now that it has come to this, I can’t keep it to myself anymore. In fact, Shan Shan is my child with another man, she has nothing to do with your Sun Family."
