The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend
/ The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 195
How could this have happened? She had been extremely careful . From the time that she had moved out of the Xie mansion, her only aim had been to bring shame and misery to the Xie family . She had intended to delay the divorce for as long as she could and extract her pound of flesh by adding unreasonable demands to the divorce agreement . After the heartache and humiliation suffered at the hands of the Xie family, this was the least she was entitled to .
Bitter in her current situation, she hadn't expected to encounter romance again in her life so soon . It was by sheer luck that she had run into her current suitor few weeks ago . He had been her competitor for purchasing the hotel in Beijing . This was the family owned hotel which she had visited with her father, the same place where she had run into Fu, all those weeks ago . Though she had been not been attracted to the man at the time, he had pursued her with full vigour .
Enamoured by her beauty, intelligence and attitude, he had broken her resistance, bit by bit with his continued efforts . It didn't matter to him that her outlook towards love was cynical, to say the least . He had been buoyed and doubled his efforts after she had mentioned to him that she was in the process of getting a divorce from her husband .
He didn't care about the circumstances surrounding her current marriage but it was apparent to him that she was unhappy there . That fact was enough for him to hope for their happily ever after .
"What do you want from me, Xie Tang?" she asked him, resignation in her voice .
"I want you to leave my world peacefully and I promise to let you live in your own, happily," he said and pushed a bunch of legal papers in front of her .
Scanning through them quickly, she looked up, "but…but these are not the terms which we negotiated last week . "
She pushed them back towards him .
"These are the original divorce papers which state that none of us owes the other person anything . I don't think that you are in any position to negotiate anymore with me . But I have still let the condition stay, which states that you are the one seeking this divorce instead of me . This is to give you face in front of your current beau . Take it as my parting gift . Should you still choose to resist and pull more stunts as you have been doing in the past three months, I shall simply go ahead and leak these pictures . I wonder what would your morally upright parents say about their married daughter indulging in such interesting activities," he delivered the words with quiet steel in his voice .
Mei Zhen's face blanched even further . After a quick consultation with her lawyer, she quietly pulled the papers back towards her and signed them .
"I hate you, I always will," throwing those words at him, she walked out .
Tang released the breath which he had been holding since this meeting had started .
"Did you have this ace up your sleeve, all this time, Mr . Xie? By the end of last week, I had nearly resigned myself to you signing that terrible contract with some crazy clauses in it, as suggested by Mrs . Xie . This was some smart thinking on your part," his lawyer gushed .
But Tang wasn't paying much attention to his narrative . He took out his phone and sent a "Thank You" to his father's mobile . He then expressed his gratitude towards his lawyer and asked him to file the papers ASAP .
"Mr . Ming, please get ready to mobilise all your resources . I need you to find someone for me," he spoke in the phone, just as he got out of the lawyer's office .

It was late in the evening by the time Hui wrapped up his interaction with the students and staff and finally with the dean . He had not visited them post the initial opening of the university, three years ago . Though Jia Li had accompanied him to all meetings today, she hadn't needed to contribute much to the conversation .
Ying Hui was his usual reticent self but he answered almost every question posed to him, with utmost sincerity . His words were absorbed by the eager students and staff alike . Despite her having read his diary, the impact was way more when she heard him deliver those ideas in his usual serious tone . The students seemed to be hanging onto each and every word uttered by him .
The interaction had gone on for a few hours, with the entire auditorium listening in attentively .
