" Speaking of parents, mum I have something to discuss with you." Mo Ning said leaving her mother's arms to sit with her legs folded in beside her mother.
" Since Mr Mo wants a divorce from grandma and has been bugging her regarding that, why doesn't she just grant him the divorce and be done with him? Besides she can come live with you here and you'll both keep each other company especially now that I have my own apartment and I'm going to be focusing on my career for now. And another important reason is that, we can be rid of Mr Mo once and for all. And don't forget to tell her to include in the divorce papers that anything relating to you has nothing to do with him and you are not expected to perform any thing relating to filial piety towards him. " Mo Ning said reverting back to her usual confident self.
" You are right about the divorce. Mum has suffered too much in that man's hands if she divorces him, she will finally be free and he would also be free to officially marry his precious darling, the one from the Gu family. But what I don't understand, is why it has to be stipulated in the divorce papers that I'll have nothing to do with him since I already have nothing to do with him?" Mo Xiaye said confusion written all over her face.
" Oh mum you can be silly at times. Don't you know that according to the law, a child has to provide for their parents? "
" Of course I know that who wouldn't? But since he disowned me, that law no longer stands as far as I'm concerned. " Mo Xiaye said giving her daughter the 'are you stupid' look.
" Sigh!!! When he disowned you, was the law or a representative of the law there? "
" Of course not! He didn't plan it in advance a lawyer couldn't have been there. "
" See? That's what I'm saying. What if you marry my father, won't Mr Mo want to leech off you? Then if he takes you to court, even if you win, both yours and my dad's reputation would already be ruined but if you have official and valid documents to prove it, you won't even need to go to court. Now that I think of it, there's no need to include it in the divorce papers anymore. Let's..... "
" Hey!! After explaining it to me I'm already beginning to see the importance of it and now you're saying something else, miss Ning what do you mean by this? "
" Oh please! You didn't even let me finish. I meant that we could create a second and separate document for it so when they are signing the divorce papers, you'll also sign it with him so they can both be legalised together. But we must do all this before they know of your relationship with my dad. " Mo Ning said looking proud of herself.
" Alright. I think it's a good idea but your grandmother still has the final say regarding her divorce. So we will have to let her know before we'll know our next step. "
