Chapter 851 -851: Divorce, Resigning to Take Responsibility
Guan Ya sobbed uncontrollably, “If something happens to Shiyu, I won’t be able to live either. I only ask you to consider our marriage and save her, otherwise her life will be over.”
“Her deeds have already become the talk of the town. How am I meant to cover up her misdeeds?” Cao Zhen said this and let Cao Shiyu see the news on the internet for herself.
Cao Shiyu saw that everywhere on the internet there were messages about her faking her own death, as well as her undergoing plastic surgery to look like Liu Qingyin, and the incident where Ye Qilan woke up in her bed had also been exposed by that so-called Miss Zhang.
“See? Now the whole world knows what good deeds you’ve done!” Cao Zhen lamented with a heavy heart.
This was retribution, the wrongs he had committed in the past were now being repaid.
Even though he had disowned Cao Shiyu through a public announcement, the collusion between Guan Ya and Cao Shiyu had been exposed as well. Guan Ya was his wife, and now that such a scandal had occurred, how was he, the official of Taicheng, supposed to explain this to the public?
Cao Shiyu covered her face and wept, “Dad, what should I do?”
“Isn’t your mother very capable? Just go to her if you have a problem,” Cao Zhen looked at Guan Ya. “Guan Ya, I have indeed neglected you emotionally over the years, but I have tried to make amends in other aspects. I felt guilty toward you, but now I find that I’ve never truly understood you.”
After a pause, he continued, “Guan Ya, let’s get a divorce.”
Guan Ya looked at Cao Zhen in disbelief, “What, what did you say?”
“I said, let’s get a divorce. I can’t face staying in the municipal building any longer either. I failed to manage my own spouse, and even more so my daughter. A person like me simply doesn’t deserve to be the official of Taicheng. I am resigning to take responsibility!” Cao Zhen stated solemnly.
Cao Shiyu and Guan Ya never expected things to turn out this way.
They thought Cao Zhen would be able to protect them, but what would they do if Cao Zhen no longer held his position?
“The Cao Family thinks I can work miracles, shielding them from the sky. You’re all mistaken, anyone who does wrong must be punished. The wrongs you have done should rightly be paid for by me,” Cao Zhen sighed lightly.
The desire of humans is a bottomless abyss. Only at this age did he clearly see this truth, too late.
“Now you tell me you regret it? Cao Zhen, you want a divorce, I won’t agree! I’ve spent half my life with you, and I will not let you go!” Guan Ya yelled furiously at Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen said nothing. He left the office and departed from the municipal building.
For a moment, he felt bewildered, not knowing where to go.
Later, he remembered Su Hongxing and had his driver head toward Lugang Building.
Su Hongxing was worried that the online public opinion would affect Cao Zhen’s reputation.
But some things, she had to do for Liu Qingyin. It’s difficult to fulfill both loyalty and justice, isn’t that her current predicament?
Cao Zhen’s arrival at Lugang surprised everyone.
This figure usually only seen on television had unexpectedly appeared before them, which was baffling.
“Dad, why have you come at this time?” Su Hongxing was also surprised.
“I just happened to be passing by, I hope I didn’t disturb your work,” Cao Zhen’s gaze fixed on Little Pudding’s face.
Su Hongxing quickly handed Little Pudding to Cao Zhen, “Little Pudding, this is Grandpa, call him Grandpa.”
“Grandpa,” Little Pudding obediently called out.
Seeing the miniaturized version of Su Hongxing, Cao Zhen’s eyes became slightly warm. This was the child he had struggled to save back then, and she had grown up so much, still so cute and pretty.
