Chu Zimu’s cold and rational voice echoed throughout the Xu Family hall as he said, "Sign the divorce agreement, and from now on, we will have nothing to do with each other."

After saying this, Chu Zimu hung up the phone.

"You see that? Ready to give up now?" Mrs. Chu picked up the divorce agreement from the floor and handed it back to You Mingyue.

But You Mingyue refused to take it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chu said, "If you sign this agreement, although you’ll leave with nothing, you can still keep those things Zimu gave you before and lead a stable, worry-free life. But if you refuse to sign..."

Mrs. Chu cast an amused glance at everyone in the room and said, "Since the wedding day, when I unexpectedly learned about the disgusting love story between Ms. You and Mr. Xu, I immediately ordered a thorough investigation into your family’s past."

"Guess how much dirt I have on your family?"

As she spoke, the expressions of all three people in the room changed dramatically.

Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "Let’s start with Ms. You. During the time you were earning money as an escort, you got involved in a murder case of a financial backer. I don’t know what role you played in that murder. But guess what? If the victim’s family knew that you were the last person to see him alive, could you get away unscathed?"

You Jingqiu suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes wide with disbelief that old stories from twenty or thirty years ago could still be dug up by Mrs. Chu.

Mrs. Chu then looked at Xu Zeqing and said, "Mr. Xu, you’ve been getting quite close to President Li recently, haven’t you? I remember President Li is a shrewd businessman who only cares about profit. I was curious about what you have that interests him, so I looked into your relationship."

"By coincidence, I found that he once pursued Ms. Mo. More intriguingly, the night Ms. Mo died, President Li was there and unfortunately got hurt."

"I investigated in the hospital and found that President Li was stabbed in the chest with a broken beer bottle."

With an inscrutable smile, Mrs. Chu playfully said, "I wonder what really happened that night. Surely, the public is very curious."

Xu Zeqing sat huddled in the corner of the sofa, raising his eyelids, his gaze dark and resentful as he stared at Mrs. Chu.

He wished he could kill Mrs. Chu.

But with 12 strong and imposing bodyguards standing behind her, Xu Zeqing had no chance of even approaching Mrs. Chu.

"Of course, there’s also you, my pure and innocent daughter-in-law." Mrs. Chu pulled out a stack of organized documents from her bag and threw them all at You Mingyue.

You Mingyue’s fingers trembled as she opened the files, and saw that it listed all the crimes she had committed from elementary school to now.

Mrs. Chu frowned, with an indescribable expression, and said, "When you were 17, you deliberately spread rumors about your classmate Luo Qianqian, causing her to develop depression and jump to her death."

Staring at You Mingyue with disgust, Mrs. Chu sneered, "In your sophomore year, do you remember what you did to your competitor to secure an exchange opportunity to a foreign university?"

The more she spoke, the colder and more disdainful Mrs. Chu’s gaze became.

"You Mingyue, you’re a woman; you know how important purity is for girls, yet you used despicable means to ruin their lives."

"As a woman, I’m ashamed at the existence of someone like you!"

You Mingyue thought the things she had done were known only to the heavens and herself. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chu found out about everything.

Only at this moment did she realize just how formidable the power and means of the Chu Family truly were.

She also understood that she could no longer gain Chu Zimu’s sympathy and trust with her tears and feelings.

"Sign it. If you do, I will pretend I’ve never seen these things."

Then, Mrs. Chu’s tone turned ruthless and unsparing: "But if you refuse to sign, I will hand these files over to the police station. Once they verify these crimes, not only will the three of you suffer, but You Jiaoyang’s political career will also be ruined."

"I’ll give you only three minutes to consider. If I don’t see the divorce papers signed in three minutes, I’ll hand over all the materials to the police."

After saying this, Mrs. Chu turned and walked towards the door.

Mrs. Chu was definitely not bluffing.

She managed to secure her position as the matriarch of the Chu Family because she was capable and competent.

Mrs. Chu also came from a prestigious family as an only daughter and was groomed by her parents from a young age to be the successor of the family.

It is precisely because she has the ability and the backing of her family that she dares to keep Chairman Chu’s former mistress in check.
