Chapter 1095 - Compensation On Divorce.
Chapter 1095 – Compensation On Divorce.
When Gao Fan got wordless instructions from Feng Shufen, his gaze turned sympathetic towards the relatives of the family. From their casual talk regarding the disapproval of the marriage, it was not hard for him to tell that these people were all unaware of the thing called elite marriage law.
But their lack of knowledge doesn't mean that the thing also doesn't exist in reality. It existed in the past and it also existed in the present time, that's why his President chose this act to register his relationship with Madam. But poor people, only if then they can understand his plan.
Turning to the relatives, he still warned them, "Mr. Feng, this is an elite marriage law. You should think once more before disapproving of this marriage." He said before opening a file he brought with him. Though he had warned everyone about it, he also knew that no one would care to take his words seriously. So, it would only be better if he gets ready for his job.
"What's so special about this elite marriage law? If we are disapproving of this relationship that simply means disapproval. Elite marriage law or normal marriage law doesn't matter." Feng Da Zhong said and standing with him, no one cared to think twice about it as well.
So, in the end, giving the nod to everyone's decision, Gao Fan came forward to Li Xue with his best polite stance. "Madam, here, you would need to sign these papers to accept the compensation President Feng is giving to you on divorce. This deed contains all the valuable property and shares of a business that has been held in his name up until now. And also, the profits from new properties and shares that have been recently acquired by him." He said before forwarding the pen and file to Li Xue.
People around were all dumbfounded with his words as none could understand what his words actually intended to say. Even Feng Yi Ran, Feng Yi Lan, and Chen Yujian were confused. But Feng Yu Hao was not too surprised. His expressions looked like he was already expecting this to come sooner or later. Beside him, Zhen Qinrou was also perplexed.
Though she understood the meaning that the secretary intended to say, still there were many things she felt amiss in between so turning to her husband she asked, "Honey, what's happening? What is this compensation deed about? Is Shufen serious?"
Feng Yu Hao stared at the calm stature of his son and nodded. "He has no other option other than that. To maintain the peace of the family, he would have to." He said and his words like that further made the woman frown.
"What do you mean? Is there any compulsion? It's just a divorce. Can't it be simple?" She said and earned a judgmental gaze from the old man. To which she quickly rectified her tone to say, "I didn't mean it otherwise Yu Hao. I am not disapproving of that girl for Shufen. I simply mean what's the need for this big compensation. He can give her something for the time being before coaxing the relative to approve of her. Wouldn't that would be simple?"
She asked and the man shook his head before looking back at his son to say, "This is the essence of the elite marriage law. How could he skip it?" He said at the front but internally, somewhere he knew, that his son wouldn't make it so simple. Since he signed the elite marriage law, his plans couldn't be as simple as giving away everything. He definitely meant something else that people were yet to know about.
At the front, Li Xue was also a bit clueless about the thing. She turned to look at Feng Shufen first, only to see him give her a blink of assurance first. She didn't understand him that blink at first but when he noted his calm demeanor, she turned back to Gao Fan to get the file in her hand.
"Compensation? How unpredictable it is, Shufen. I never thought that the day when I would meet your family for the first time would turn out to be the last day of our relationship." She said, as her expression showed hints of displeasing surprise at the turn of the events.
Feng Shufen looked at her and feeling guilty, he said, "I am sorry. I didn't mean to break my promises to you." He said keeping his words curt. Though sorry was the rare word from his lips and hearing him say that almost surprised everyone. At that moment, over that surprise, clearly, the happiness of their success prevailed.
Behind even Zhang Xiaotong felt the sense of victory. Her lips tugged up in a dreamy smile as she gazed to look all lovingly towards Feng Shufen.
From the side, Feng Yi Lan interrupted, before reaching out to hold Feng Shufen's arm with all concern, "Brother, what are you doing? You can't be serious? Just on the call of these relatives, you can't be thinking of divorcing Li Xue, right?"
"…"
"Yi Lan, let them handle. They know what they are doing so let them do it accordingly. Just stay here to support." Although Feng Yi Ran was also confused, she believes that she could read her brother's heart too well. And both the last time and this time, she could sense the priority at which Shufen keeps Li Xue in his heart and life. There could be no way that just for the call of some relatives, he would be giving up on their relationship. So, at this point in time, she chose to believe in the compatibility the two shares.
"But Elder Sister, he …"
Before Feng Yi Lan could say more, Feng Yi Ran shook her head and the girl could only return to silence.
Li Xue looked at Feng Shufen for a minute and then smiling on her own, she nodded, "Fine I won't blame you for this after today since you are offering me such a good compensation at the end of our short relationship. But at least give me time to see what I am getting at the end of the day. I might have accepted the breach of promise but in compensation like this, I won't want to take a chance." She said and at her materialistic word like that Feng Yi Lan couldn't understand her thoughts.
"Li Xue, what are you saying?" She asked. To which, Li Xue just gave a weak smile before turning to open the file to read.
Flipping its pages one by one, she read the head of all the properties that would be getting in her name. It included more than forty percent of shares of Feng Internationals, several hotels and properties, and many more. The relatives were all relaxed when they heard her read all that because up till there it was what they knew Feng Shufen held under his name. But wrinkles started appearing on their expression when the list exceeded revealing the heads of several other properties that sounded similar to theirs.
"Wait." Feng Da Zhong interrupted, getting all anxious suddenly, "What's happening exactly? Why is the hotel from South Wales included in the list? Isn't that what my family owns?" He asked, looking at Feng Shufen first before turning to look at the secretary who had brought that file.
And following his askance several other relatives asked about the names of their properties as well. With their continuous questions like that, for a moment the sophisticated gathering looked like a chaotic fish market. But it was understandable, after all, who have expected to hear the name of their properties in the list of compensation offered to Li Xue.
Li Xue's hand reached out to close one ear first as her other hand raised to stop the people's questions coming, "Easy, dear people! Easy! Don't blame me for all this, as this compensation came after you asked my husband to divorce me. I don't know much but I know enough to know that I can't seize the property that I can't stand. But as per elite marriage law, I would receive all the properties and assets that my husband owns under his name. If yours is registered on his name then automatically it will become mine. For that I hope you won't curse me instead would try to understand first."
She said and in response to her words, Feng Da Zhong was quick to raise his voice. "What do you mean? Those properties are clearly in our name, how did they belong to Shufen? I don't accept."
Li Xue's lips curled up as folding her arms, she didn't bother to participate in a debate competition. Instead, she turned to look at Gao Fan to say, "Mr. Secretary, I don't think I am capable of making them understand these. Will you help me out?" She asked and nodding to her immediately, the man agreed.
"Sure, Madam." He said before turning to look at everyone to explain. He started with the leader itself. "Mr. Feng, the property in South Wales, was definitely registered in the name of your family. But recently after your son, Feng Baozhang applied for an investment, he agreed to mortgage that hotel to pay off the debt he had from before. Since those debts were on the accounts of President Feng, your hotel of South Wale automatically got under the name of President Feng and now as the compensation, Madam would be receiving it."
He said, and that explanation was enough to blow off all the thoughts Feng Da Zhong had. He knew his son was not at all like Feng Shufen. But he never expected him to be this useless.. The property of South Wales was the greatest asset that they held under their name. What was he even thinking while giving it away like that?
