Chapter 84: Desperate Measures
Chapter 84: Desperate Measures
Jia Xiufang was simply furious, how could there be such a shameless person? He did something wrong and still dared to speak to her like this?
She was so angry that she was at a loss for words, so Qian stepped forward.
"My mom has been on vacation with my brother and me at the beach these days; we have witnesses. Moreover, where you’ve been recently and with whom, we also have evidence. If you’re smart, you’ll agree to a divorce with my mom now. If not, it’ll go to court, and things won’t be in your favor."
"You little jinx, how dare you talk to your old man like that!" Chen Lin waved his hand, trying to hit Qian, but Jia Xiufang suddenly erupted, stepping forward and shoving him away.
"Try touching my daughter and see what happens! Chen Lin, I’m telling you, I’ve had enough of you. Do you think I can’t hit you? I’ve just been tolerating you!"
A woman doing manual labor year-round, robust and strong, wasn’t much weaker than a scrawny man like Chen Lin, who played mahjong all day.
"The world has turned upside down, and you dare to hit me!" Chen Lin’s worldview had shattered.
If it wasn’t for that face, still the same as he remembered, he couldn’t imagine that the woman he’d beaten for so many years dared to hit back.
"How many times have you hit me, and what have I ever said to you? If you hadn’t been so ruthless this time, would I be doing this? Chen Lin, you spent money on other women, you slept with other women, let the neighbors judge who’s shameless?"
Jia Xiufang shouted, and the neighbors immediately started whispering and discussing.
Seeing everyone talking about it, Chen Lin felt humiliated and softened his voice.
"Let’s talk inside, don’t make a scene."
"I’m not afraid of making a scene! You did it, yet you’re afraid of people talking? Chen Lin, tell everyone today, how have I wronged you all these years? I bore your children, I held up the house, and you treat me like this?"
"Get to the point! Night Shanghai, mini skirt!" Qian reminded.
"I want a divorce!" Jia Xiufang reflexively said; once Qian mentioned it, she was determined to divorce.
"Wife, I was wrong. Let’s talk inside; I really didn’t mess around with other women, I went out to earn money, really!" Seeing that being tough wasn’t working, Chen Lin switched to a pleading tone.
"Get to the point!" Qian prompted again.
Jia Xiufang almost wavered at Chen Lin’s submissive face, but once Qian spoke, she remembered.
"Hand over the bankbook, and I won’t divorce you!"
Qian nodded, very good. Look, who dares to say that a psychologist is useless? Even her dependent personality mother could be brainwashed, haha, she felt a great sense of accomplishment.
It’s just a pity in this era, there’s no smartphone, no way to capture this scene.
Chen Lin’s expression, tsk tsk, changed so many times in such a short period, really ugly. If she could post it on WeChat Moments, she’d have the title ready: The Original Speaks Out Against the Cheating Scumbag in Public; Women, Can You Still Easily Trust Men?
The click rate would definitely be high, satisfying, comforting!
In Qian’s eyes, Chen Lin’s reaction was like watching a monkey show.
Hearing Jia Xiufang ask for the bankbook, Chen Lin panicked; he’d given all the money to Qu Xue, where could he find it? In a rush, he fell to his knees in front of Jia Xiufang!
"Holy...shit!" Qian cursed.
She really didn’t want to admit she was his daughter.
This encapsulated all the vices of men in the world!
Beating was useless, and in a moment, he’d kneel completely disregarding dignity; how shameless could a man be.
As soon as Jia Xiufang saw him kneel, her mind instantly flooded with memories of all the beautiful times. How had she ever been treated like this by her husband over the years?
"Night Shanghai, mini skirt, a wolf in sheep’s clothing remains a wolf, pretentious." Qian reminded simply, and Jia Xiufang immediately sobered up.
Qian continued. "The more hypocritical his affection is now, the more brutally he’ll treat you in the future. If he kneels to you, he’ll also kneel to Qu Xue. Short-term mercy to an enemy is cruelty to oneself!"
Whatever she said now, Jia Xiufang believed.
"Hand over the bankbook!"
"The bankbook... is for business!" Chen Lin knelt on the ground, feeling the neighbors’ gossip, lost his dignity, but he didn’t want his efforts to fail.
"What business?"
"Long-distance bus business—ah!" Chen Lin screamed.
Jia Xiufang swung a family travel bag and smashed it over!
Qian swore she wanted to stay silent, but this scene, it was truly uncontrollable and made her want to laugh.
Having been brainwashed by Qian for so long, if Chen Lin hadn’t mentioned long-distance buses, Jia Xiufang might have been fine, but once he did, it infuriated her.
"How dare you talk nonsense again! What investment business, you just spent it on that vixen! In a few days, you’d come back with some photo, telling me the long-distance bus got into an accident, lost all the money, completely gone. Chen Lin, don’t take people for fools!"
Chen Lin was inwardly swearing a thousand times over, how did this woman get so sharp?
He’d planned it that way, but how did she know?
"Don’t think the little vixen outside is truly good to you. If she hadn’t told my mom, how would my mom know?" Qian laughed gleefully.
Being able to stir up trouble between her trashy dad and the mistress was one of life’s great pleasures.
In the past life, the way her trashy dad treated her, and how the mistress added fuel to the fire?
Not letting them kill her was Chen Xiaoqian’s good fortune!
In the past life, she used her whole life to repay Chen Lin for giving her life; father-daughter feelings had long been exhausted. In this life, if Chen Lin could behave, Qian wouldn’t have planned to act, but his repeated scheming against her, the most chilling thing for Qian wasn’t just hiding the college acceptance letter.
It was when Ni Jianren clearly said there was an infectious disease, Chen Lin still unhesitatingly wanted Qian to marry him, just to use the dowry money for the mistress.
Heh, if he didn’t treat her as a daughter, don’t blame the daughter for not treating him as a father!
Qian’s words made Chen Lin vigilant, yes, such a hidden thing, only Qu Xue knew, if she didn’t tell, who would?
"Xiufang, wife, believe me, I haven’t done anything to betray you!"
"Then bring out the bankbook!"
"...I bought a car..."
"What’s the license plate number, what model of car, come on, take us to the traffic management bureau, all this can be checked, who did you buy it with, whose name is registered?"
When Qian questioned, Chen Lin was dumbfounded again.
There’s no such purchase, how to answer?
"Give up the futile struggle, obediently sign the divorce papers, my mom has already appointed a lawyer to apply to the court to investigate your personal financial situation, so wherever the money went, we’ll find out. Whoever you’ve been sleeping with recently, we have evidence, divorce is your only choice."
Qian’s words made Chen Lin realize that he had no way out.
Suddenly, he pulled a fruit knife from his pocket and came at Qian.
"You broom star, you’re the one who ruined this family like this!"
