Chapter 164 If you get divorced, you will lose nothing except a business marriage partner.
Pei Hongli seemed to be considering the privacy of the matter, so he cleared out all the customers in Ya Yun Xuan before he even arrived.
This action inadvertently provided convenience for the police. After showing their identification to the receptionist and manager, they entered the adjacent private room.
After following the established procedure, Pei Hongli arrived at the restaurant as promised, accompanied by a lawyer.
Yan Zhuoyu, dressed in a dark green coat, watched him sit opposite her without making a sound.
The waiter quickly brought over two cups of coffee, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
Yan Zhuoyu did not speak first, but deliberately applied a very light layer of red eyeshadow to her eyelids, making it look like she had been crying several times.
Seeing her so easily overwhelmed, Pei Hongli looked down on her. People from humble backgrounds were no good; she couldn't even compare to the Song family's daughter. However, she was a suitable match for his nephew, Pei Weijin.
Pei Hongli's oily red nose crinkled with wrinkles when he smiled. He spoke first, trying to take control of the negotiation: "Niece-in-law, it's been a long time."
He quickly changed his words with a smile, "Oh, no, perhaps after today's conversation, you will no longer be my niece-in-law."
Yan Zhuoyu exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening: "Third Uncle, what do you mean by that?"
She seemed to only then notice the man beside Pei Hongli, and asked in confusion, "And who is this?"
Pei Hongli smiled dismissively and turned to introduce, "This is Attorney Huang, who specializes in marriage cases. You should have heard of him online."
Yan Zhuoyu nodded quickly: "I've heard of him, I've heard of him. I've long admired your name. But, Uncle, is there a special reason why you brought him along?"
"I heard from Wei Jin before that you, Third Uncle, seem to be planning to marry that He Ye heiress. Could it be that you want to bring Lawyer Huang along with me to give you some advice?"
Pei Hongli's face darkened, too lazy to argue with her over such a trivial matter.
He snorted coldly and abruptly changed the subject: "Pei Weijin is on the verge of death. Only you can save him. Yet you are wasting your time here. You are so childish and naive."
Yan Zhuoyu exclaimed in surprise, "What? Wei Jin is in danger? That should be a matter for the police or rescue team, how come only I can save him?"
She smiled faintly and asked in return, "Could it be that you, Third Uncle, deliberately put Wei Jin in danger?"
Pei Hongli was speechless for a moment, not expecting her to suddenly bring up this topic.
He pretended not to understand, laughed it off, and tried to steer the conversation away from the topic. He then began to describe Pei Weijin's situation in detail, exaggerating it as much as possible.
Yan Zhuoyu listened quietly, while the investigation team next door took careful notes.
The general situation was similar to what Li Muxin had described, but in more detail.
Pei Hongli also mentioned his interactions with Mr. Yiwen, as well as how these events led to their collusion.
Finally, Attorney Huang frowned and coughed lightly, trying to remind him, but was met with a glare from Pei Hongli.
Pei Hongli finally stopped boasting and gave Lawyer Huang a wink.
Attorney Huang immediately understood and pushed the two documents in front of Yan Zhuoyu.
"Ms. Yan, these are two agreements I have drafted. One is your divorce agreement with Pei Weijin, and the other is the detailed terms for the division of your marital property. Please take a look. If there are any changes needed, please let me know and we will resolve them as soon as possible."
Yan Zhuoyu seemed unable to accept the blow, and shook her head after only glancing at it: "No, I don't want to divorce Wei Jin, we truly love each other."
She may appear to be still putting on an act to elicit information from Pei Hongli, but in reality, most of her mind is wandering back to Italy.
Pei Hongli impatiently advised, "Just sign it. There's no such thing as true love between adults; only interests are eternal."
"After the divorce, I will give you 5% of the Pei Group's shares, with a fixed monthly dividend, which is enough for you to squander. Moreover, I will also do my best to make you a movie queen, as promised in the agreement."
He continued, "Niece-in-law, if you use your brain, you can understand how generous the conditions I'm offering are. As long as you agree to the divorce, you'll lose nothing except a business marriage partner. The outside world won't even know you were ever married, and if anyone suspects anything, I'll smooth things over for you."
Attorney Huang chimed in, thoughtfully removing the cap from Yan Zhuoyu's pen: "Ms. Yan, once you sign these two documents, your future will be smooth sailing and limitless."
Yan Zhuoyu held the pen, her head bowed, still hesitant, but in reality, she was listening to the investigation team's instructions through the miniature earpiece.
She deliberately stalled for time, saying, "No, I can't sign. I'm still worried about what might happen..."
The ship where Pei Weijin is located is using jamming equipment, making it undetectable and the signal intermittent, which greatly increases the difficulty of the search and rescue. If Pei Hongli knew the exact location, or had any means of contact...
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Hongli was annoyed by her hesitant attitude.
He frowned, finding it exhausting to communicate with these women; they were always hesitant and indecisive.
"Don't worry, I, Pei Hongli, keep my word. If you're worried that Pei Weijin will retaliate against you, I can take care of him directly."
Pei Hongli said coldly, "If all else fails, I can give you five minutes of live footage right now so you can see if what I'm saying is true."
……
In just a few minutes, Pei Hongli revealed a lot more information.
He was confident that Yan Zhuoyu wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse his terms. After all, who could resist the temptation of money?
Yan Zhuoyu picked up the pen and her eyes fell on a line of small black characters in the agreement.
Attorney Huang proposed a 20/80 split of the marital property, with Yan Zhuoyu receiving 80% and Pei Weijin's 20% ultimately going to Pei Hongli.
Seeing that she had finally taken action, Pei Hongli chuckled, "I knew it. Miss Yan is a pragmatic person. Sometimes you have to be realistic and be willing to do anything for profit."
Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was destined to fail.
Amidst the confident smiles of the two men, Yan Zhuoyu tore the two agreements, one white and one black, to shreds and neatly threw them into the trash can.
"My third uncle is right; I should indeed become a profit-driven adult."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the private room was suddenly kicked open, and more than a dozen police officers rushed in, surrounding Pei Hongli and Attorney Huang.
Pei Hongli's phone, which he had just used to synchronize with the cruise ship's surveillance footage, was also confiscated immediately.
Before Pei Hongli was taken away, Yan Zhuoyu slowly walked to his side.
"I'm sorry, Third Uncle. Before you, someone had already promised me the entire Pei Group, and without any complicated conditions. I can have whatever I want."
Pei Hongli watched in disbelief as Attorney Huang was taken away, while the woman who had just looked like an innocent little rabbit now smiled slyly.
"You think you can force me to divorce my wife and gain control of the company by partnering with Ivan? That's wishful thinking. On the contrary, you should be begging me."
Yan Zhuoyu, wearing flat shoes, quickly left his side, leaving behind a light, sarcastic remark: "Please don't divorce Pei Weijin, lest I impulsively bankrupt the Pei Group that you've been coveting for so long."
After the matter was resolved, Ya Yun Xuan quickly resumed business operations.
Pei Hongli and others were taken away by the police to assist in the investigation.
Yan Zhuoyu was in a hurry to catch her flight, so she rushed to the airport with several bodyguards without even packing her luggage.
In fact, given Pei Hongli's suspicious nature, he might have been even more cautious and careful not to easily reveal information if he were facing anyone else. But the person he was facing was Pei Weijin's woman—Yan Zhuoyu.
He always believed that Pei Weijin and Yan Zhuoyu's marriage was a business arrangement, and that Yan Zhuoyu was just a minor celebrity who couldn't be brought to the forefront.
Not only is she of lowly status and a disgrace to her family, but besides being somewhat attractive, she has no other redeeming qualities. She's nothing more than a materialistic, big-breasted, brainless woman who loves to dress up.
His detailed explanation was not only an attempt to intimidate her, but also a way of showing off his methods and abilities.
Even deep in his heart, there was a secret fantasy: maybe this woman would throw herself into his arms after seeing the tree he was relying on fall?
