Chapter 105 The 105th Day of Not Running Away The 105th Day of Not Running Away...
Chen Bozheng also invited Liu Yan to help, mainly because they were all men, and Sun Yue, being a woman, might not be able to easily tell them what she was thinking.
Liu Yan readily agreed. She was furious after hearing about Hu Cheng's situation, and when she saw Sun Yue, she felt even more sorry for him.
Sun Yue was already very thin, but she has become increasingly haggard these days, with sunken eyes and a lifeless gaze.
Her mother, however, acted as if nothing had happened. She put down her knitting and invited everyone to sit down, asking, "Would you like some tea?"
"No need, Aunt Sun, anything is fine with us."
Chen Bozheng said.
He glanced at Liang Wenxuan and gave him a look.
Liang Wenxuan looked at Sun Yue, who had her head down, her hands clasped tightly on her knees, her trousers crumpled, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hu Cheng means this marriage is definitely going to end. What do you think?"
Sun Yue's mother said, "Let's get a divorce then. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. I don't believe my daughter can't live without Hu Cheng!"
Her mother, on the other hand, was a very straightforward and direct person, quick and sharp-tongued, like a chili pepper.
“Mom…” Sun Yue said helplessly, her voice low.
Sun Yue's mother said, "What, you don't still want that rotten man, do you?"
Sun Yue smiled wryly and shook her head.
"That settles it then. What's the big deal? You're only thirty-seven, what are you afraid of?"
Sun Yue's mother is quite open-minded.
Chen Bozheng held her mother in higher regard, speaking more readily to her than to the hesitant Sun Yue. "Our current issue is how to compensate her, and how much compensation is appropriate. Do you have any ideas?"
“Compensation, young man, you’re right. Hu Cheng now owns a company and is incredibly wealthy, and my daughter deserves credit for that.” Sun Yue’s mother immediately said, “Putting everything else aside, we must demand that he compensate us with half of his fortune. Isn’t he developing a residential complex and selling it very well? My daughter’s demand for two million in compensation isn’t too much, is it?”
Sun Yue was startled, "Two million?"
Sun Yue's mother said matter-of-factly, "Yes, I've read the Marriage Law. Marital property is divided equally. I haven't even considered the house belonging to Old Hu's family. If we're really going to be serious, you should get half of their house too."
Everyone was stunned, yet also impressed.
Sun Yue hesitated, then shook her head. "He won't give it to me."
"Just tell me if you want it or not!" Liang Wenxuan said decisively.
Sun Yue bit her lip, a blush rising on her face.
Sun Yue's mother said directly, "Yes, of course we have to. How can my daughter and I live without money? We can't just keep living at Xiao Liang's house."
“That’s settled then.” Liang Wenxuan said, “We should ask him for at least two million. This isn’t cheating him. If it weren’t for the fact that he needed to take better care of Sun Yue, I wouldn’t have brought him into the industry. For that alone, he has to give us an explanation.”
Liang Wenxuan had considered having Sun Yue work in the real estate speculation business, but it required thick skin, boldness, and a lot of social skills, none of which Sun Yue possessed. Perhaps because she had been bullied since childhood, she was timid and afraid of offending people.
Therefore, after getting married, Hu Cheng's family asked her to quit her job and stay home to do housework, and she was easily coaxed into agreeing.
"Two million? How could Hu Cheng agree to give that so easily?"
Having met many people, Liu Yan knew from Chen Bozheng and others' descriptions that Hu Cheng was definitely a profit-driven man, even though she had never met him in person.
Trying to get money out of a man like that is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Sun Yue's mother said, "I have a way."
? ?
Everyone turned to look at Sun Yue's mother, and even Sun Yue herself was shocked.
Liang Wenxuan said, "Auntie, if you have a solution, please tell us so we can discuss it together."
Sun Yue's mother said, "I took my daughter to the hospital for a physical examination a while ago. The report came out and my daughter is perfectly normal except for malnutrition and anemia."
Hua Lingfeng and Wang Jianquan were both completely baffled.
Liu Yan, however, understood. "If that's the case, then Sister Sun has no problems with fertility?"
Sun Yue's mother smiled and patted Liu Yan's hand, saying affectionately, "Daughter, you're right. People said my daughter couldn't have children, but I didn't believe it. My daughter is perfectly fine, so why can't she have children? Well, after the checkup, they found out there was a problem."
"Mom, why didn't you tell me about this?!"
Sun Yue was stunned, bewildered and confused.
Ever since Hu Cheng kicked her out, she has been completely disheartened and despondent. She regrets that she cannot have children, which led to her being driven out.
But it turns out she's capable of having children!
Sun Yue's mother looked at Sun Yue with a complicated expression: "If I had told you a while ago that you could have children, would you still have wanted to go back to Hu Cheng for reconciliation?"
Sun Yue opened her mouth, her face flushed red, but she was powerless to refute.
“Daughter, Mom knows that you and Hu Cheng had feelings for each other before. Yes, he didn’t care about your low social class and married you. It’s right that you should remember his kindness. But so many years have passed. You’ve paid back all the money you owe his family by now.”
Sun Yue's mother couldn't help but say, "Are you going to keep wallowing in that mess? Even if you and Hu Cheng can have a child, so what? Let me tell you, that man only cares about money. Even if you have a child today, he'll still cheat on you, and he'll still get a divorce! You need to clear your head!"
"Enough!"
Sun Yue trembled, filled with anger, anxiety, and rage. "You have the nerve to criticize me now, but where were you before? From the time I was a child until now, how many days did you take care of me? Where were you when I was bullied and ostracized? Do you think I'm brainless, willing to be someone's slave for a little favor? Have you ever considered whether I had a choice?!"
"Sun Yue!"
Liang Wenxuan was startled by Sun Yue's appearance and hurriedly stood up.
Sun Yue wiped away her tears, turned and ran outside. Everyone panicked, looking at each other. Chen Bozheng hurriedly said to Liang Wenxuan, "Brother Liang, hurry and chase after her! Don't let anything happen!"
Liang Wenxuan then realized what was happening, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Bozheng, pointed to Sun Yue's mother, and Chen Bozheng understood and nodded.
After Liang Wenxuan left, the atmosphere in the living room became extremely awkward and stiff.
Hua Lingfeng, Wang Jianquan, and the others were all surprised that Sun Yue would suddenly have such a temper. It really proved the saying that honest people are the most frightening when they get angry.
However, Hua Lingfeng could somewhat understand Sun Yue's feelings.
He lit a cigarette, looking somewhat wistful.
Just moments ago, Sun Yue's mother was energetically discussing how to divide the family property with Hu Cheng, but now her face was deathly pale and her hands were trembling uncontrollably.
She reached into her pocket, seemingly trying to take something out, but it got stuck.
Liu Yan hurried over and said, "Auntie, let me help you with that."
Sun Yue's mother withdrew her hand, and Liu Yan went over to help her unzip her zipper, took out a bottle of medicine, glanced at it, and saw that it was a blood pressure lowering medicine, and it even had an English name.
She paused for a moment, then helped pour a glass of water for Sun Yue's mother to drink her medicine.
"Auntie, don't worry. I don't think Sun Yue is stupid. She won't fall into the same trap again," Liu Yan comforted Sun Yue's mother as she took her medicine.
Sun Yue's mother shook her head: "I've never thought she was stupid, I..."
She lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. "When I went abroad, I never imagined things would change so quickly back home. My boss was sent to a farm and died within days. We were abroad at the time, and when we heard the news, we didn't dare come back. All these years, I've wanted to come back, but there was no communication between China and the rest of the country. By the time I could finally call back, Sun Yue's father was gone, and Sun Yue had been kicked out and disappeared. I finally found her, and I really, really want to make it up to her more than anyone else."
Nobody knows what to say about the past decade.
It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.
Sun Yue's mother had a tragic life. A single woman abroad, she endured countless hardships. Sun Yue's situation was even worse. Her mother brought criminal elements into their family, and her father died early. If Liang Wenxuan and his mother hadn't taken her in, no one dared to imagine what would have happened to Sun Yue.
Chen Bozheng said, "Auntie, don't be sad. Sun Yue is still young, and there's still time. The information you gave us is very helpful. At least we now know that Hu Cheng is the one with fertility problems. He may not care about other things, but he would never dare to let anyone know about this."
This can be considered our greatest weapon.
Men understand men best.
A man can be called a gigolo, shameless, or a heartless man, but he would never dare to let anyone know that he is spineless and unable to have children!
If this gets out, Hu Cheng will be a laughing stock in the business world.
Sun Yue's mother took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and said gratefully, "Thank you so much."
"Auntie, you're too kind," Chen Bozheng said modestly, his eyes sweeping over the handkerchief in Sun Yue's mother's hand. Although he didn't recognize many big brands, the brand of this handkerchief happened to be the one Wen Chan liked. Chen Bozheng paused for a moment, then looked away.
Liang Wenxuan eventually managed to persuade Sun Yue.
They arranged to meet with Hu Cheng to discuss the matter. When Hu Cheng learned that they wanted two million in compensation, he laughed and sneered, "Fuck your mother! You want two million for a divorce? You might as well rob me!"
Sun Yue's face flushed red, but she remained seated firmly and said in a trembling voice, "You must give me two million, otherwise I will not get a divorce."
"Fine, you've gotten bold enough to threaten and blackmail me now. Fine, I'll still give you some face out of consideration for our past as husband and wife."
Hu Cheng crossed his arms: "Since that's the case, then forget about saving face. I'm going to file for divorce, and then everyone will know that you're a woman who can't have children!"
"Mr. Hu, Sun Yue has had a medical examination."
Chen Bozheng smiled and said, "The doctor said there's nothing wrong with her body. So who can't have children? Take a guess. The answer isn't hard to guess."
Hu Cheng was stunned for a moment, his expression instantly becoming quite interesting. The toothpick he was biting fell to the ground. "Bullshit! How could I not be able to have children!"
"We don't know."
Liang Wenxuan said, "Either you honestly compensate my sister with the money, or I'll help you spread the word. I remember you have a very good relationship with Lao Xi, Lao Cheng, and the Cheng brothers. If they know about this, they will definitely worry about you and search for folk remedies to help you recover."
Large beads of sweat slid down his cheeks. Hu Cheng's breathing became rapid, his pupils contracted, and his hand on the table trembled with anger.
But he knew that Liang Wenxuan was capable of doing such a thing.
If his former mortal enemies knew that he was infertile and had no descendants, would he still have the face to face them?
