Chapter 185 My Youth Is a Bit Difficult 47
After two rounds, everything is back to where it started.
Ma Xiuzhu, who really didn't want a divorce, had a particularly low attitude.
In order to make Chen Jian regress, she even said that she could send Zhou Qingqing to live with her grandmother for a while, and then rent a house nearby for her daughter after school started. In this way, the two children can be separated.
She planned to use this method of compromise to satisfy her previous stepdaughter's request of "having me without her, having her without me".
Tao Ran raised his eyebrows without comment.
Ma Xiuzhu finally carried the old lady out, saying that they were all adults and the old lady could no longer worry about them. Everyone understood the unfulfilled meaning: if Chen Jian did not back down, she would go talk to the old lady. If she said something wrong in a hurry, it would not be helpful to the old lady.
For Chen Jian, who always reported good news but not bad news in front of the old lady, this one really caught him.
The same goes for Tao Ran.
In order to save her marriage, Ma Xiuzhu will probably do anything!
In fact, Tao Ran didn't want Chen Jian and Ma Xiuzhu to divorce now.
Why? As soon as they leave, Ma Xiuzhu can not only take away a lot of wealth, but also not receive any punishment. In the plot, they took two lives!
After the divorce, as long as Chen Chao is still around, they will still be worms attached to Chen Jian. Chen Jian is soft-hearted and cannot ignore them. Chen Chao is his biological son and he has the right to inherit property.
Rather than that, it's better to just keep them in front of you...
Let's hurt each other, it depends on who has the stronger fighting ability!
"Xiaoyi, after all, we are a family that has been together for many years. This friendship can't be broken up like this. You give mom a chance. Nothing is absolute. If you have any ideas, why don't you say it. As long as mom can do it, you can do it. I can promise you."
Tao Ran was speechless.
"Qingqing was wrong this time. In addition to apologizing, mother can compensate you. What do you want?"
"Compensation?" Tao Ran narrowed his eyes. "That's not necessary. However, you must give me what you owe me."
"I owe you...what?"
"Since we are a family, we must be fair, right? If you want to be my mother, there is no reason to only treat Zhou Qingqing as your daughter. I don't ask for anything else, just treat me and Zhou Qingqing equally."
Tao Ran rubbed his fingers.
"Forget it about daily expenses, I just want birthday gifts. Every year on my birthday, you are just fooling me. You have to make up for eight years of birthday gifts for me. Okay?" Ma Xiuzhu and Chen Jian spent all the living expenses. card, but the gifts she gave to her biological children were taken from her private room.
Since Ma Xiuzhu had to stay at home, she naturally had to do some bleeding.
Don’t don’t want it for nothing!
"Okay, mom promises you." Isn't this a simple birthday gift? One thousand yuan a piece, ten thousand yuan can be done. He is a child after all, easy to manipulate...
"Just agree. My requirements are not high. An eight-year gift is the same as Zhou Qingqing's.
Last year, the gift you gave Zhou Qingqing was a Xiang family bag, and I want the same. The year before last, your gift to Zhou Qingqing was a front-row concert ticket worth 8,000, and I want it too. Two years ago, you gave her a set of seven crystal hairpins from the Shi family. The year before last year, you deliberately said you would take her back to your hometown to visit relatives, but you actually took her to travel to Japan..."
Tao Ran Balabala recounted all the differences between Zhou Qingqing and Chen Yi in terms of birthdays in the past eight years.
This girl, Chen Yi, has never mentioned this before adults. But she remembered all of this very clearly. The greater the gap between her and Zhou Qingqing, the more she envied other people's mothers, and the more inferior she became, which also made her value the relationship with her father more. Therefore, she has always been cautious for her father.
They also knew that she would tolerate it, so the mother and daughter never concealed their deep love for each other. They used this method to repeatedly stimulate the child, which ultimately made Chen Yi more autistic and unlovable.
Now Tao Ran deliberately revealed all these reluctances, just to show Chen Jian how well-behaved his daughter was and how blind he was.
"Xiaoyi, there is a misunderstanding..."
"So you just said you wanted to compensate me, or were you lying? In one sentence, give it to me or not!"
"Then what kind of concert..."
"Just convert it into money and give it to me. It's the same for traveling. Just convert the cost of air tickets and accommodation and food."
"..."
"Also, didn't you prepare a big gift for Zhou Qingqing's birthday this year? I want an exact one too."
"What kind of gift?"
"Isn't it a limited edition bracelet?"
"Did you... make a mistake?"
"Chen Chao was still showing off in front of me yesterday, saying that you bought Zhou Qingqing a bracelet worth 80,000 yuan, saying that I don't have mother's pain, and I can only eat 80 yuan of cake for my birthday, and you want me to open my eyes wide. Take a good look to see if the bracelet gleams!"
This is the sequelae of the necklace given by "Grandpa Haisong".
Zhou Qingqing was jealous of Chen Yi's limited-edition necklace. He was unhappy that his surname was not Chen, and he got into moods every day. Ma Xiuzhu always loves her daughter. In order to calm her daughter down and cooperate with their actions in the nursing home, she can only agree to give Zhou Qingqing a bracelet of the same brand as Chen Yi on her birthday this month...
But the two people couldn't stand it anymore and came to Chen Yi early to show off.
so……
"Xiaochao is just a child. What can he understand? It's just nonsense..."
"Just tell me whether you want to give it or not?"
"..."
"Dad, I plan to move to a nursing home..."
"Give!"
An hour later, the new silver bracelet that originally belonged to Zhou Qingqing arrived in Chen Yi's hands.
Well, plus a big red envelope.
A full 80,000 yuan.
Ma Xiuzhu, who breathed out hundreds of thousands in one breath, was breathing heavily.
"Thank you, stepmother. You can take the 80,000 yuan at any time. You even gave it to me as a birthday present for my biological daughter. You are either wealthy or you must have true love for my dad." Tao Ran smiled brightly and was so angry that he would not pay for it.
"Qingqing, don't be angry with your mother. The overall situation comes first. It's not easy for your mother either. Be more considerate of her."
Zhou Qingqing cried angrily. For the first time in her life, she cried because she was really wronged.
"Stepmom, where is the invoice for this bracelet?"
"What do you want the invoice for?"
"Without the invoice, who knows if it's genuine or fake? I'm short-sighted and can't tell the difference between genuine and fake. What if it's a fake..."
"..." Ma Xiuzhu felt her chest was tight and wanted to vomit blood, so she had to look for the invoice.
Tao Ran nodded with satisfaction.
"I feel at ease once I have the invoice. If I don't like it tomorrow, I can still sell it."
Seeing Zhou Qingqing's eyes filled with tears, Tao Ran also looked aggrieved.
"Do you really like this bracelet?" She squatted down in front of Zhou Qingqing.
"..." Zhou Qingqing glared at Tao Ran, nonsense, this is her favorite one, she has been choosing it for a long time!
"Then I reluctantly part ways with you?"
"……"is it possible? Although Zhou Qingqing didn't believe it, there was a glimmer of hope subconsciously in her eyes.
"Well! As a sister, naturally I can't compete with you, a sister who celebrates her birthday. So, I don't want you two hundred thousand, I don't want you one hundred thousand, I only want ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine, now! I'll part ways immediately! "
Zhou Qingqing's eyes were red with anger, she held her head and screamed wildly, stumbled against the door and rushed into the room. Then I heard a series of crackling sounds...
