"Did you buy another bag?"
Jiang Liao had just arrived home, and before she had time to take off her torturous high heels and sit down to drink a glass of water to relieve the depression brought by Yan Chu, she received a call from her rich second-generation boyfriend Jiang Yi.
He was very generous to all his ex-girlfriends. In addition to the 50,000 yuan pocket money every month, he would occasionally buy bags and jewelry for them as surprises. As Jiang Liao was the one he liked the most among all his ex-girlfriends, he would not mind even if he overspent.
But it was different now, because of the incident not long ago, Jiang Yi began to doubt whether his girlfriend was as smart and lovely as she appeared. He didn't mind that she had some little thoughts, but he minded that she made him look bad in front of that group of friends. Even though Jiang Liao coaxed him back later, it didn't mean that this incident had never happened.
And no one knew who had reported him to his parents with bad intentions. His parents were already unhappy that his girlfriends did not help the family business. When they heard that he was instigated by Jiang Liao to tease an innocent young man, they were furious and restricted his spending. This was a huge blow to the young master who was used to being free and easy.
At this time, he received a text message from the bank about the overspending of the secondary card. You can imagine how upset he was.
Jiang Liao was caught in the crossfire. Fortunately, she didn't know what kind of image she had in the hearts of Jiang's parents, otherwise she would have fainted.
"I have stopped your secondary card. Didn't you say that you like me as a person and don't care whether I have money or not? After a while, I will consider whether to restore this card."
Jiang Yi had vented enough, and said coldly under Jiang Liao's soft words. He naturally would not admit that his family restricted his spending, so he had to stop giving her this pocket money. If others knew, it would be so embarrassing. It just so happened that he also wanted to try to see if Jiang Liao really liked him as a person, or was with him because of his money.
"Are you doubting me?"
Jiang Liao's silver teeth were almost broken. Without the 50,000 yuan every month, how could she buy luxury goods and show off to her little sisters? With her salary just after graduation and her parents' income, she might have to think twice before going to some high-end places in the future.
Yan Chu!!!
Jiang Liao thought about the culprit of all this, and his eyes turned red with anger.
But no matter what, Jiang Yi's decision would not change. All Jiang Liao could do was to show his loyalty and complain about his grievances. After Jiang Yi hung up the phone, he was so angry that he smashed his phone against the wall.
The newly bought Pear Nine Generations was torn into pieces, and the glass shell on both sides looked like a spider web, which was obviously broken beyond repair.
After letting out a breath and looking at the remains of the Pear Nine Generations, Jiang Liao immediately regretted it again.
Now that she has lost her boyfriend's support, she has to calculate every penny she spends, and the screen of the ninth generation of Pear is extremely expensive. The price of replacing the screen is almost half of the original price of the phone.
Jiang Liao felt that since Yan Chu began to change, she had some problems.
Now think about it, when Yan Chu was very young, he was still a beautiful and handsome child. All the classmates in the class liked to play with him. Until he began to gain weight and they began to enter a higher level of school, more people noticed her and gradually ignored Yan Chu's existence.
The two of them have been deskmates since elementary school. It was like a bad fate. This fate lasted until they went to high school. Yan Chu, who became ugly and inferior, no longer had the aura he once had and became the ugly duckling beside her.
Jiang Liao couldn't help but start to doubt, are they mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, destined to have one suppressed by the other?
Whether her guess was too sensitive or not, Jiang Liao gritted her teeth. If this was really the case, she hoped that the one who was suppressed was Yan Chu, not her.

"Mr. Yan, my client has entrusted me to talk to you about the inheritance left by your late wife, Ms. Hu Xue, the biological mother of my client."
The atmosphere in the Yan family was a little serious. Yan Chaozong looked at the lawyer who suddenly visited, and his face turned livid as he finished speaking.
"Nonsense!"
Yan Chaozong covered his chest in anger. What is this? That stinky boy didn't learn his lesson even when he was forced into a desperate situation. He actually had this crooked idea. Lawyer, is he going to sue him, his biological father?
For so many years, he has been lacking food or drink for him. Thinking of his son's ruthlessness, Yan Chaozong felt particularly uncomfortable. As a father, he also had an indescribable anger.
Yan Chaozong is a traditional man with a strong sense of male chauvinism. He firmly believes that men should be in charge of the outside world and women should be in charge of the inside world. Therefore, when Hu Xue was alive, he was assured to leave all the family affairs to her, including disciplining the children. After Hu Xue died, when he remarried Bai Yin, he handed over the family affairs to Bai Yin.
In Yan Chaozong's view, as a father, he is already very competent if he can bring a good income to the family, and he will not reflect on whether he has done anything wrong.
"These are the financial conditions of the Yan family company when Ms. Hu Xue was alive, which I have obtained based on my client's oral statement and formal channels."
The lawyer can't control what Yan Chaozong thinks. He takes money to do the job, and the rest has nothing to do with him.
"According to the law, since Ms. Hu Xue did not make a will, her estate should be divided equally between the first-line heirs, that is, Mr. Yan Chaozong and my client."
Hu Xue's parents died early, otherwise there would be two more people who would be eligible to share Hu Xue's inheritance equally now.
The Yan family and the Hu family are both ordinary people. Yan Chaozong was originally a university lecturer. After marrying Hu Xue, he felt that his income could not provide a good and comfortable life for his wife and unborn child, so he decided to leave the house where he was born. One year, he resolutely resigned and went to work, and now has a factory with a thousand employees and a considerable net worth.
Although Yan Chaozong earned this family property by himself, because he was already married at the time, even if Hu Xue had not participated in the management of the company, this property should still be half of hers.
When Hu Xue died, the half that belonged to her should be divided into two equal parts, one of which belonged to the original person and should be handed over to him when the original person came of age.
"fart!"
Yan Chaozong slapped the table hard. He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he became the big boss and he hadn't said such vulgar words.
Anger burned in his heart, Yan Chaozong was anxious and angry, and his heart was broken by Yan Chu, his son.
"Chaozong, calm down. That kid Yan Chu has always been very well-behaved. Maybe he made some bad friends outside and encouraged him. Otherwise, what would he do with so much money? You are his biological father. , is it possible that his share will be missing?”
Baiyin didn't expect that Yan Chu, the submissive, sensitive and timid idiot she raised, would actually start thinking about the inheritance. Someone must be teaching him behind the scenes, otherwise he would never have thought of this based on his IQ alone. Knowing this, I wouldn't have used a trick to drive him out before. It would be better to leave him under my nose to save him from causing any trouble.
She felt regretful in her heart, but Baiyin's face did not show such emotion. Instead, she looked worried for her stepson.
The lawyer on the side sighed in his heart, with such a stepmother, why worry about the relationship between the biological father and the biological son not being bad? He is not saying that all stepmothers in the world are not good, but everyone has their own little thoughts to a greater or lesser extent. In fact, in real life, stepmothers like Bai Yin are the majority, but those who achieve her level are rare. No wonder his client was kicked out. He was obviously a young master from a wealthy family, but You can only rent an ordinary small apartment.
"Don't speak for that traitor!"
Yan Chaozong couldn't listen to anything now, especially about his son Yan Chu.
"Didn't he hire a lawyer? Isn't he capable? Okay, then let him go to the court to sue me and see how the judge decides." Yan Chaozong couldn't understand how his lovely son became like this when he was young. Vice appearance.
Paranoid, willful, doing things without caring about the consequences, just for his damn half of the inheritance. In his heart, is his father really such a failure? Did he ever think that he got a quarter of the family's property, but if he was angered, he would completely lose the remaining three-quarters.
"Mr. Yan, I am just here to convey his intention to my client. If you do not agree to negotiate, my client will choose to file a lawsuit with the court."
The lawyer took out a document from his briefcase, placed it in front of Yan Chaozong, and then left respectfully.
"Chaozong."
Bai Yin's expression flashed slightly. When Hu Xiu died, the Yan family's business scale was not small. In recent years, it has been difficult to do business, and the factory has not improved much. It can only be said to maintain stability and develop, so if Yan Chu If you really want to sue Yan Chaozong, his father, and get his share of the inheritance, you will be successful in nine out of ten cases. But now nearly one-fifth or six-fifth of the Yan family's property will be taken away. That bastard was taken over by force.
In Baiyin's eyes, it was already her son's thing. Yan Chu, a stepson whom she didn't take seriously, suddenly wanted to bite such a big piece of meat from her hand. How could she not go crazy?
"Chaozong, how about I——"
"I want some quiet time."
When Bai Yin was thinking about what eye drops to put, Yan Chaozong waved his hand to Bai Yin, then picked up the documents on the table with a dejected look, and walked towards his study room with a stumbling step.
Seeing this, Baiyin couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Her husband's behavior seemed to still have some feelings for the little boy. Could it be that what she had done before had not worn away the fatherly love in this man's heart?
It seemed that she had to work harder.
"Tomorrow at ten o'clock, we'll be at the coffee shop at the entrance of the community. Don't say you don't have time. I want to talk to you about your mother's inheritance."
In the study, Yan Chaozong looked at the pile of jewelry left by his wife that he had just taken out of the safe, then dialed his son Yan Chu's phone number and said while suppressing the grievance, anger and sadness in his heart.
"good."
The voice on the other end of the phone was calm, and before Yan Chaozong could say anything else, he hung up the phone.
"This child."
Yan Chaozong still had some questions he didn't want to ask. When he saw this, he almost threw the phone in his hand on the ground out of anger.
"Axiu, why did our son become like this?"
Picking up a necklace full of jadeite, this necklace was bought by Yan Chaozong for his wife when the factory was profitable in the first year. At that time, the price of jadeite was far not as high as it is now. More than ten years later, the price has increased by sixty percent. Seven times more, you can buy a house in Ning City.
Bai Yin asked him for these jewelry many times, but Yan Chaozong didn't give them to him because he felt that these things should be left to A Chu's future wife. I guess A Xiu also thought the same.
"How did that happen."
Yan Chaozong closed his eyes and did not let the tears flow. Now he was no longer the head of the family who had the final say, was unchallengeable, and acted arbitrarily. Instead, he felt inexplicably fragile.
"Hmph!"
This fragile emotion did not stay on Yan Chaozong for too long. Soon, he sorted out his mood and carefully put the jewelry into the safe one by one.
Then he rubbed his eyes and returned to his seat. He became the big boss who planned and planned again. It seemed that everything just now had no effect on him.
*****
"You are - Ah - Ah Chu?"
Yan Chaozong was sitting in the private room of the coffee shop. When he saw the young man pushing the door in, he felt like he was dreaming.
Counting it, he had not seen this son for almost a year. To be honest, he drove him out because he was so angry, because he felt that no matter how incompetent his son was, he could not be the kind of shameless person who peeped at his stepmother taking a bath.
He saw that scene with his own eyes, and ruled out the possibility that someone had framed him, so Yan Chaozong didn't think he had done anything wrong. In addition, at that time, his son was escaping from society and work, and Yan Chaozong also wanted to force him to face reality.
But in the end, he was actually a little soft-hearted, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Baiyin to send him living expenses on time every month.
Originally, Yan Chaozong thought his son would admit his mistakes soon, but who knew that he was stubborn for seven months and didn't call him once, as if he really broke off the relationship with his father. Or Yan Chaozong couldn't bear it, so he took the initiative to call him on the pretext of finding a job for him.
But Yan Chaozong's temperament was not the kind of person who would give in. Even if he compromised with his son Yan Chu, he had to maintain his dignity as a father, scold him severely, criticize and educate him, and show his authority as a father.
He thought, how could a father apologize to his son? Moreover, it was not his fault. Knowing that his son had been away from home for seven months and still hadn't found a job, and had lied that Bai Yin hadn't given him living expenses on time, Yan Chaozong's temper became even more uncontrollable.
Naturally, the call ended unpleasantly, but Yan Chaozong never thought that he and his son might go to court one day.
"You--you've lost weight--"
Yan Chaozong looked at his son's vague appearance as a child, and couldn't help but have an urge to cry. He also felt a little strange, feeling that in less than a year, there seemed to be a gap between him and his son.
"I always asked you to lose weight before, but you didn't listen, and you resisted going to the hospital with your aunt Bai. What, now you think it through and know that none of us want to hurt you?"
Yan Chaozong was happy, but when he spoke, he couldn't help but say something sarcastic.
"Yeah."
Yan Chu sat in front of Yan's father. "Before, no one around me really cared about me, no one really worried about me, so no matter how bad I became, it didn't matter. But now, I realize that I was stupid before, because I found that this life is my own. I don't live for you, I don't live for others, I only live for myself."
The expression was like looking at a stranger. Yan Chaozong's heartbeat paused for several beats, followed by a heart-wrenching pain. He had an intuition that the son in front of him had no ties to him anymore.
