1047 Perplexed and Smitten 107 (1/2)
\”Of course I'm going to. These are all for our daughter, not for you.\”
Seething with exasperation, Mrs. Wen retorted, \”Did I waste all my youth on you for free? You're the one who's in the wrong, yet you still have the cheek to treat me this way. Don't you find yourself shameful at all? Forget it if the assets are not split equally. I can't believe you even tried to threaten me. I was really blind to have married you!\”
\”If you continue to complain, you'll have none of those things. Do you really think you can win against me in a lawsuit?\”
\”You… I shall see how long you and that hussy can last!\”
\”I don't want to live with you anymore, even for a day! You don't ever reflect on yourself and your mistakes. You're hopeless!\”
\”You're just giving excuses for your infidelity!\”
\”…\”
Slightly traumatized by her parents' incessant arguing, Wen Yuechan stood rooted to the ground, at a loss for what to do.
After they stopped arguing, they signed the divorce papers in front of Wen Yuechan. Mr. Wen took out a bank card and said, \”This contains the maintenance fees for Yuechan, which will last all the way until she's 18 years old. I'll give them to you all in one go, so stop asking me for money from now on. The car is registered under your name anyway. I'll transfer the ownership of the house to you tomorrow. We'll settle the divorce proceedings now.\”
\”I'll go with you to get that settled after you transfer it to me.\”
Mr. Wen shifted his gaze onto Wen Yuechan, who had been remaining silent. \”Yuechan, call me when you miss me in the days to come. I'll take you out to eat delicious food and have fun.\”
Wen Yuechan finally burst into tears and bawled loudly, \”Those don't matter to me at all!\”
She then ran back to her room.
A while later, Mrs. Wen entered and said, \”You father has left.\”
Wen Yuechan looked at her while tears flowed from her eyes continuously like a broken tap. At this very moment, she knew that her family would never be complete again.
Mrs. Wen said, \”Don't cry. Your father doesn't want us anymore. I can't depend on him anymore, so I'll have to depend on you from now on. Yuechan, you must make a name for yourself when you grow up and make your father regret his decision to walk out on us!\”
\”Mommy, what does it mean to make a name for myself?\”
\”It means to live better than everyone else and become wealthy. Do you understand?\”
\”But how do I do that?\”
Mrs. Wen said, \”You'll have to abide by my teachings, then. There are a few boys in your boot camp, two of which you should play with more frequently. One is Jin Yiheng and the other is Jin Rongyan. Out of all the boys, you're allowed to play only with that pair of brothers.\”
\”What about Long Wenlun and Ji Gui? Aren't they great?\” she asked.
\”Their families may be affluent too, especially Long Wenlun. He's the only son of the Long family and he only has a younger sister. His future is bright. However, he can't be compared to the Jin family. Out of the two Jin brothers, you must prioritize Jin Yiheng. Yuechan, if you can marry Jin Yiheng when you're older, you and I will be able to live in the lap of luxury for the rest of our lives. We'll let your father die of regret!\”
\”But he's closer to that Long Xiaoxi and he rarely plays with me.\”
\”How can that ugly and chubby girl compare to you? If he rarely plays with you, you must find a way to make him fancy you and detest that chubby girl.\”
\”…\”
—
\”You lost them?\” the man asked in a cold and intimidating voice.
\”When we arrived in Y Nation, they just went missing really quickly somehow. It's as if they had just vanished into thin air. I don't know where they went. I've already tried my best.\”
\”Hmph, it's not your fault. After all, Xiao Chenyang is not someone whom you can deal with easily. Okay, you're dismissed.\”
\”Yes.\”
Xihou Jiaping knocked his fingers against the table gently and stood rooted to the ground. He then pressed the service bell, after which a servant knocked on the door.
\”Master, do you have any orders for me?\”
\”What has An Xiaoning been up to the past couple of days?\”
\”She's been handling documents and attending to matters at the Jin Corporation office. She often goes there in the morning and leaves only in the late hours of the night. I think she's still at work now.\”
