Chapter 84 - 84: A Cornered Dog will Jump Over the Wall (Thanks to 1103730527 for the additional update)
Jia Xiufang was furious. Was there really such a shameless person? He did something wrong, and he still had the nerve to speak to her like that?
When she got angry, she couldn’t speak properly, so Xiao Qian stepped forward.
“My mom has been on vacation with my younger brother and me at the seaside these days. We have witnesses. We also have evidence of where you’ve been and who you’ve been with during this time. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll sign the divorce agreement with my mom now. If you don’t, we’ll go to court, and it won’t be in your favor.”
“You little walking disaster, how dare you speak to your father like that!” Chen Lin raised his hand to hit Xiao Qian, but Jia Xiufang suddenly exploded and pushed him away.
“You dare to touch my daughter! Chen Lin, let me tell you, I’ve had enough of you! You think I can’t beat you? I’ve been letting you off easy!”
Women who have been doing heavy work for years are strong and have almost as much strength as Chen Lin, who has been playing Mahjong for a long time.
“Unbelievable, how dare you hit me!” Chen Lin’s worldview had completely collapsed.
If it weren’t for his familiar face, he wouldn’t be able to imagine that the woman he had been beating for so many years would dare to fight back.
“How many times have you hit me, and have I ever complained? If you hadn’t crossed the line this time, would I be like this? Chen Lin, you spent money on other women, slept with other women, let the neighbors judge who is shameless!”
Jia Xiufang shouted, and the neighbors immediately began to gossip.
Chen Lin saw that everyone was talking, and his face couldn’t hold up. He quickly lowered his voice.
“Let’s go inside and talk so we don’t make a scene.”
“I’m not afraid of people seeing! You did it, and now you’re afraid of people talking? Chen Lin, tell everyone today, where have I wronged you all these years? I gave you children and supported this family, and this is how you treat me?”
“Get to the point! Night Shanghai, super short skirt!” Xiao Qian reminded.
“I want to divorce you!” Jia Xiufang’s reflex kicked in – once Xiao Qian mentioned it, she was determined to get a divorce.
“Daughter-in-law, I was wrong. Let’s go inside and talk. I really didn’t mess around with other women. I went out to make money, really!” Chen Lin saw that brute force was useless, so he began to plead.
“The main point!” Xiao Qian reminded again.
Jia Xiufang almost wavered at Chen Lin’s softened face, but Xiao Qian’s reminder brought her resolve back.
“Bring out the family’s bankbook, and I won’t divorce you!”
Xiao Qian nodded. Good, see? Who says a psychological expert is useless? She could even brainwash her dependent mother. Haha, such a great sense of accomplishment.
Too bad there were no smartphones in this era; she couldn’t capture this scene.
Chen Lin’s expression changed so many times in such a short period – so ugly. If she could post it to her Moments, she already had a title in mind: “Original wife scolds cheating scumbag in public; women, can you still trust men easily?”
The click rate would definitely be high. Refreshing and satisfying!
In Xiao Qian’s eyes, Chen Lin’s reaction was like watching a monkey show.
Hearing Jia Xiufang demanding the bankbook, Chen Lin panicked. He had given all the money to Chu Xue, what was he supposed to do? In his haste, he knelt down in front of Jia Xiufang!
“Damn!” Xiao Qian burst out cursing.
She really didn’t want to admit she was his daughter.
He embodied all the worst traits of men in the world!
After hitting her to no avail, he immediately knelt down, completely disregarding his dignity. How shameless can a man be?
As soon as Jia Xiufang saw him kneeling down, she immediately thought of their many beautiful memories from the past. All these years, when had her husband ever treated her this way?
“Night Shanghai, super short skirt, a wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing is still a wolf, hypocritical.” Xiao Qian simply reminded Jia Xiufang, who instantly sobered up.
Xiao Qian continued, “The more he pretends to be nice to you now, the more terrible he will treat you later. He kneels down to you; he will definitely kneel down to Chu Xue as well. Temporary softness towards the enemy is nothing but cruelty to yourself!”
Now Jia Xiufang believed everything Xiao Qian said.
“Hand over the bankbook!”
“The bankbook… I used it for business!” Chen Lin knelt on the ground, his face heating up with embarrassment.
“What kind of business?”
“Renting long-distance buses—aah!” Chen Lin cried out miserably.
Jia Xiufang threw Niang San’s travel bag at him!
Xiao Qian swore she wanted to remain silent, but this scene was too uncontrollable not to laugh.
Jia Xiufang was brainwashed for so long by Xiao Qian that Chen Lin mentioning renting long-distance buses made her explode.
“You dare to make up lies! What investment? You just spent it on that vixen! In a few days, you’ll have to bring a photo to show me, telling me that the long-distance bus had a crash, there’s no money left, you lost everything! Chen Lin, don’t treat people like idiots!”
Chen Lin thought to himself, “Damn, how has this woman become so cunning?”
He calculated so carefully, but how could she know?
“Don’t think that just because the vixen outside is being nice to you, it’s genuine. If she hadn’t told my mom, how could she know?” Xiao Qian started speaking with joy.
Being able to provoke a rift between her Trash Dad and Xiao San was a great accomplishment in her life.
In her past life, how had her trash dad treated her? How had Xiao San added fuel to the fire?
They didn’t succeed in killing her, and that was thanks to Chen Xiaoqian’s luck!
In her past life, she had repaid Chen Lin’s kindness for giving her life with a lifetime of her own. The father-daughter relationship had long been exhausted. In this life, if Chen Lin could behave himself, Xiao Qian hadn’t planned on intervening. But he kept trying to manipulate her, and what hurt Xiao Qian the most was not just hiding the admission notice.
It was that when Ni Jianrcn clearly said there was a contagious disease, without any hesitation, Chen Lin wanted Xiao Qian to marry into that family. His reason? He wanted the bride gift to spend on Xiao San.
Well, he didn’t even treat her as his daughter, so he couldn’t blame her for not treating him as her father!
Xiao Qian’s words made Chen Lin alert. That’s right; such a hidden thing, only Chu Xue would know, and who else could have told if not her?
“Xiufang, daughter-in-law, believe me, I didn’t do 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, we can check everything, who did you buy it from, whose name is it registered under?”
When Xiao Qian questioned him, Chen Lin was dumbfounded once more.
How could he answer when he didn’t even buy a car?
“Give up the futile struggle, sign the divorce papers obediently. My mom has already appointed a lawyer and applied to the court to investigate your personal financial situation. So, we will find out where your money has gone to anyway. We also have evidence of who you’ve slept with during this time, divorce is your only choice.”
Xiao Qian’s words made Chen Lin realize that he had no way out.
Suddenly, he pulled out a fruit knife from his pocket and stabbed it towards Xiao Qian.
“You walking disaster, you’ve ruined this family!”
