Hu Quan was taken aback.
Five million?
"Wife..."
"Are we divorcing or not?"
Ning Mei interrupted him: "If we're divorcing, bring the money. Once it's in the account, we'll head to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate immediately."
"If not, we'll continue as is. The house, the car, and your savings—all split in half."
"Don't think I don't know you're transferring assets."
"Five million—that's the price today."
"If you don't agree today, I won't discuss with you tomorrow."
"I'll go straight to court, apply to freeze your assets."
"By then, don't even think about transferring them again."
Hu Quan was momentarily lost for words.
After a long while, he finally said, "Five million?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
Hu Quan said, "But first, we need to sign a divorce agreement."
"Hu Quan, don't you trust me?"
Ning Mei was visibly indignant.
Hu Quan said: "This is the discussion you wanted. If we're going to talk, let's talk properly."
