Chapter 100: A free man again
Julia Li was quiet. He was wrong to have quarrelled with his family members including his parents. He would restore his relationship with them again.
But does it mean not wanting to marry Rita is synonymous to running away from responsibility? The way Theresa Mo said makes him feel a little uncomfortable. "How is Junxie over there? Has he arrived?" Julia asked. He changed the subject of discussion from himself to Junxie Li.
"He's fine. He had arrived and he called us" Theresa Mo replied. Soon they returned to the sitting room and Julia became his cheerful self again.
He carried the two boys on his thighs and the kids asked him several questions. They asked him if he knew their Daddy travelled?
Julia answered all their questions while Theresa Mo just chimed and smiled all along. This is the Julia that she used to know. He is always cheerful and friendly.
Eventually, Julia said he was going back to his Mansion. He bade the boys a good night and gave Theresa Mo a featherlight kiss on her chin.
The next morning, Lu Jingli and Tiana Mo were to appear in court to divource each other. Molly Mo came to accompany her daughter and Cherry Lu was there for her Son.
They arrived and took their place in the opposite direction. Molly Mo kept hissing over and over. Cherry Lu just glanced at her briefly and sneered.
Enough is enough. The arranged marriage that she and her mistake of a friend lured their children into should end. The young people should go their separate ways and live their lives.
The papers were signed and it's time to share the properties. Tiana Mo and Lu Jingli divide their properties into two except the house.
Tiana insisted that they share the house and the two lawyers concluded that the house should be sold and the money shared.
Lu Jingli said an agent should be called and the house should be estimated so they can know it's worth.
Whatever amount the house is worth, he would give Tiana Mo half of the money. The cars were also divided and the money in their family account was also shared.
But when it was declared that Tiana Mo's share of the Mo's business was to be divided between the two divorced couples, Molly Mo sprang up on her feet.
She yelled and said no way. That is not negotiable. It is strictly Tiana's and she can't share it with anyone else.
Zongtian Mo gave his best assets to his two daughters. He didn't intend to let some irrelevant object inherit it in a cunning and mischievous way by some gold diggers.
"Watch your words towards my son. Everything is going to be divided" Cherry Lu quarrelled. The two women were exchanging words with each other when Lu Jingli asked his mother not to waste her energy unnecessarily.
If all the properties were divided why wouldn't Tiana's share of the Mo's business be shared as well.
The lawyers from both sides went into argument. Tiana's lawyers said the properties transferred to her from her father were meant for the next generation of Mo's family.
Lu Jingli's lawyers counteract their opponents' claim saying it's the law and no one is above the law.
Eventually, the magistrate ruled the case in favor of Lu Jingli. Tiana's share of the business was divided into equal parts and Lu Jingli had the half part.
When the divource was over, Molly Mo was more than ashamed of herself. She was released from the police station a few days ago because of her utterance against Theresa Mo and Lu Jingli.
It was only after she made a statement that if anything happens to any of them, she should be held responsible. After that, she returned home.
Now, her daughter was divorced and the wealth she thought they had, now has been divided into two parts. How can she survive with her daughter?
Tiana Mo returned with her mother to Mo's mansion in tears. Lu Jingli was mean. He is not supposed to be human, he should have been created as an alien.
He is so much without a conscience. She wishes she could strangulate him and choke life out of his lungs.
She would wait and watch if Lu Jingli was going to get back with Theresa Mo. A shameless man like him would not hesitate to do so.
He wants to own the Mo's business eventually. He would find various means to succeed in his plot. He wants to marry Theresa and later divorced her to own another 25% of the business shares making him the 50% owner of the business.
Lu Jingli was the happiest man on Earth. He was free from the shackles of his miserable marriage to Tiana.
He is now free to pursue Theresa Mo. He would make her fall in love with him and marry him before Tiana Mo and her mother would know.
He called her cell phone number...
