Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 442: Is a Five Hundred Million Compensation Possible?


Ye Tianhao still felt uneasy. After all, Ye Qingcheng didn't have the twenty billion in compensation. Even if she mortgaged all her properties, she'd barely gather five billion. If Xiao Tianyu was unwilling or decided to sue, he couldn't imagine the consequences.

He only had one daughter, Ye Qingcheng. He didn't want anything to happen to her, nor did he want any accidents to occur.

"Let's wait and see. If he actually sues me, I have no other choice. This marriage is definitely ending!" After saying this, Ye Qingcheng cast a glance at the civil affairs bureau, her heart conflicted and inexplicably saddened.

Then, Ye Qingcheng, wearing high heels and carrying a handbag, walked towards the civil affairs bureau with Ye Tianhao following behind.

The civil affairs bureau lobby was quite crowded, mostly with couples, though there were a few in situations similar to Ye Qingcheng's.

As soon as she entered the civil affairs bureau lobby, she saw Xiao Tianyu sitting there hand in hand with Shangguan Biyue. Ye Qingcheng glanced with her beautiful eyes and walked towards Xiao Tianyu in high heels.

"Mr. Xiao, you're here!" At this moment, a cheerful voice came from a middle-aged man walking towards Xiao Tianyu. He was the new director of the civil affairs bureau.

When the director reached Xiao Tianyu, he smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, you've graced us with your presence—why not notify me beforehand so I could make arrangements?"

No joke, the person in front of him was none other than the legendary president of Tianyu International, Xiao Tianyu, a rising star in the Celestial Capital and a pillar of Huaxia. This compliment wouldn't be out of place.

As for Ye Qingcheng, it seemed the director completely ignored her.

"You know me?" Xiao Tianyu frowned.

"Mr. Xiao, you must be joking. Who in the Celestial Capital doesn't recognize you as the luminary of Tianyu International?" The director's voice was extremely respectful as he continued, "Mr. Xiao, your actions caused major companies in Fengxing International and the entire Celestial Capital to go bankrupt overnight. Besides Mr. Xiao, who else in the world could achieve such a feat?"

"..." Shangguan Biyue, sitting next to Xiao Tianyu, was speechless. This flattery was quite overwhelming.

"What, he's Xiao Tianyu? The legendary president of Tianyu International?"

"He's so handsome!"

"Oh my, I can't believe I ran into Mr. Xiao here. What unbelievable luck!"

"Why did Mr. Xiao come to the civil affairs bureau? Is he here to get married or divorced? If it's a divorce, do we stand a chance?"

"..."

Many brides-to-be furtively glanced at Xiao Tianyu and then at their own husbands—there was no comparison at all. If he was willing, I would immediately leave my husband for him.

However, upon seeing Shangguan Biyue sitting beside Xiao Tianyu, many brides gave up this notion, knowing they could never compare to a woman like Shangguan Biyue, let alone compete with her for a husband.

Then the director looked at Shangguan Biyue beside Xiao Tianyu and smiled, saying, "This must be President Shangguan, such a perfect match with Mr. Xiao. Is Mr. Xiao here to get a marriage certificate?"

"No, I'm here to get a divorce!"

Thump~

Hearing this, the director's legs nearly gave way, almost causing him to fall to the ground. He looked at Xiao Tianyu with a face full of panic; what, he's here for a divorce? Even someone as beautiful as Shangguan Biyue isn't to Mr. Xiao's liking?

Since Xiao Tianyu was sitting next to Shangguan Biyue, the director naturally assumed it was Xiao Tianyu divorcing Shangguan Biyue.

But he still felt the need to flatter.

So the director fawned, "Divorce is good. In my opinion, Miss Shangguan doesn't match you, Mr. Xiao. There are countless women who want to climb into your bed, Mr. Xiao—what's one Miss Shangguan? Don't you agree, Mr. Xiao?"

"..." Shangguan Biyue felt speechless. This idiot director risks offending me just for flattery?

Yet at this moment, Xiao Tianyu said blandly, "It's not her I'm divorcing, it's someone else!"

Pfft~

Upon hearing this, the director almost spat blood and fainted. Did I just say something wrong? Mr. Xiao, I didn't mean it, truly, Miss Shangguan pairs well with you.

"Get lost!" Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly. The director shivered. How did his attempt at flattery backfire so badly? How could he be so unlucky?

Then, the director of the civil affairs bureau slunk away in embarrassment.

Pfft~

Shangguan Biyue couldn't help but chuckle sweetly, breathtakingly beautiful. This director, truly top grade.

After the director left, Ye Qingcheng spoke to Xiao Tianyu, "I only have five billion!"

"Five billion?" Xiao Tianyu's deep gaze fixed on Ye Qingcheng as he said indifferently, "In Xingyu Cafe back then, how did you promise? Didn't you claim to be wealthy? Now you only have five billion?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng felt indescribable.

Xiao Tianyu continued, "In your eyes, I'm someone who sees money as life itself. Signing the divorce agreement was merely for money. You hit the nail on the head—I'm all about the money. But the contract explicitly states twenty billion; do you think you can settle it with five billion?"

In the past, Ye Qingcheng had said that Xiao Tianyu thought the money was too little, hence the demand for twenty billion. And now, with only five billion, she thought she could settle with Xiao Tianyu? Moreover, Xiao Tianyu had clearly stated that he was greedy for money.

Now, Ye Qingcheng was pale and had nothing to say.

Xiao Tianyu continued, "The agreement is in black and white, with both your signature and mine. Figure it out yourself!"

"Mr. Xiao..." Ye Tianhao was about to speak but was interrupted by Xiao Tianyu: "I'm divorcing your daughter, you'd better keep quiet!"

With these words, Ye Tianhao swallowed his words. He knew very well that Xiao Tianyu wasn't doing it for the money but was simply making things difficult for his daughter. But so what, the divorce agreement was in black and white and indisputable.

Jingle~

At this moment, Ye Qingcheng's phone rang. So Ye Qingcheng pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, who is this?"

"It's Luo Bing!"

"Luo Bing?" Ye Qingcheng frowned and continued, "I was just about to find you to clarify something!"

The matter Ye Qingcheng referred to was naturally Luo Bing's unfinished words the day before in the president's office—a matter regarding the identity of the mysterious man who once saved her.

Remember, just as Luo Bing was about to reveal the identity of the mystery man the day before, she suddenly received a phone call and vanished. Because of this, Ye Qingcheng called Luo Bing several times, but the phone was always off.

Then, on the other end, Luo Bing asked, "Are you at the civil affairs bureau now?"

"Yes!" Ye Qingcheng nodded.

"I'll be there in five minutes!" With that, Luo Bing hung up.

Five minutes later, a red BMW coupe parked at the entrance of the civil affairs bureau. A woman in a standard professional outfit, wearing sunglasses, got out of the car and walked into the civil affairs bureau in high heels, drawing countless eyes.
