"Mmmhmm."
Su Xuewei nodded obediently.
Half an hour later, the sound of unlocking the door ca, and Su Xuewei, who was massaging Shen Yuan's back, imdiately tensed up and uncomfortably stopped what she was doing.
Then, the door was slowly pushed open, Su Jingjie wheeled Mother Su to a fixed spot, and then excitedly ran over to eat so fruits.
"Brother Shen Yuan, I want so too!"
Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows: "You sure can eat, kiddo. You had two bowls tonight and still haven't filled up your tummy."
"I don't just have a little tummy; I have a big tummy!"
Su Jingjie, clearly skinny, puffed up his stomach like Zhu Bajie and then lifted his shirt: "This bit of food is nothing to , old pig!"
Shen Yuan couldn't help but laugh quietly, then patted his head.
This ho used to be gloomy and oppressive, but now it's becoming more and more joyful.
He stood up and said, "Alright, big brother is going ho now."
"Brother, let walk you out!"
Su Jingjie tiptoed and took Shen Yuan's hand.
Su Xuewei and Xiaojie accompanied him to the residential parking lot. Just before getting into the car, Xiaojie, looking at the silver Benz G-Class, exclaid with excitent: "Brother Shen Yuan, can I ride in this car and go for a spin next ti?"
"Sure, as long as you promise to be in the top 10 of your class in the final exams."
"Okay, pinky promise!"
Su Jingjie's smile grew even more excited. He first made a pinky promise with Shen Yuan, then looked up and exchanged a joyous glance with Su Xuewei.
Children's thoughts are hard to hide; Shen Yuan could guess right away that this little guy usually ranks in the top ten in his exams.
But a joyride is simple enough.
"Then I'm off."
Shen Yuan was about to get into the driver's seat when he felt his clothes getting tugged. Turning around, he found the little guy clutching his clothes.
"Anything else, Xiaojie?"
Su Jingjie blinked his clear big eyes: "Brother Shen Yuan, can you co visit my sister frequently?"
"Hmm?"
Shen Yuan looked at Su Xuewei, whose face easily turned red, and she blushed at the mont.
"My sister is only happy when she sees you."
Su Jingjie spoke seriously, like a little adult.
"OK, let's pinky promise on that too."
Shen Yuan made another pinky promise with Su Jingjie.
Thinking about it, he felt sowhat guilty. Among the NPCs, Su Xuewei's presence was the lowest, and she never actively pursued anything.
She probably didn't even know how many won Shen Yuan was seeing.
They say a crying baby gets the most milk, Su Xuewei, not being one to cry, naturally got less.
Well then, I should visit her more often.
"Pinky promise, hang if a hundred years I deny..."
Shen Yuan squatted down, looking eye to eye with Su Jingjie: "Then you can't call brother anymore, you should call brother-in-law, got it?"
"What does brother-in-law an?"
"Let your sister tell you."
With that, Shen Yuan climbed into the driver's seat, waved goodbye to the two, and drove out of the parking lot.
Watching the car drive away, Su Jingjie held Su Xuewei's hand and mumbled, "Sis, what does brother-in-law an?"
"..."
....
Three days later.
Seaside residential area.
Zeng Xianyong sat on the sofa, with his legs crossed, leisurely sipping tea: "Dad, Mom, I've been here several tis now, you should give a clear idea of how to handle things."
Old Lin and his wife frowned as they sat opposite him. Both were retired - one a teacher and the other from a state-owned enterprise, both well-educated and civilized individuals. But Zeng Xianyong's thuggish behavior disgusted them imnsely.
Old Lin, wearing glasses and speaking slowly, said: "Xianyong, since you and Yuchang are already divorced, there's no need to call us Mom and Dad anymore."
"Although we're divorced, you are still my children's grandparents, that won't change, so it's only right that I call you Mom and Dad."
Zeng Xianyong said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if one day your own daughter doesn't recognize you, I still will."
Old Lin's expression grew even more displeased: "We can't control what happened between you two, so there's no use in you coming to us."
"Mom and Dad, that's not a very objective thing to say. Yuchang always listens to you. I've seen it all these years and taken it to heart."
Zeng Xianyong took another sip of tea, then nodded: "Dad, this Maojian tea is really quite good; bring so back for next ti."
Old Lin responded coldly: "There's no extra to give you!"
Zeng Xianyong smiled nonchalantly, then turned to look at the older man with greying hair: "Dad, you hear that? No good tea for you. I rember my forr father-in-law being quite generous. Used to treat with great tea, alcohol, and even packed big bags of goodies for to take ho. It seems the treatnt indeed changes after divorce. I guess Yuchang's current partner gets treated almost like I used to."
Old Lin's face turned ashen, he looked at Old Lin's wife: "When is Yuchang arriving?"
Old Lin's wife checked her phone: "She said she'll be here soon."
Zeng Xianyong's smile grew broader: "You are still effective in your words, I usually can't even see her face. I knock on her door, and she just doesn't open, tells the security to drive away and threatens to call the police for harassnt. I wonder, is there a need to go to this extent, even for an ex-husband?"
"Dad, don't you agree?"
Zeng's father nodded: "Yes. Dear father-in-law and mother-in-law, we actually don't want to bother you often, but I can't help feeling heartbroken that our Xianyong, an innocent victim, leaves empty-handed."
"After all these years of hard work, the house and car, all given to your daughter. Now he doesn't even have a job, what is he supposed to do for the rest of his life?"
"Nonsense!"
Old Lin slamd the table: "If your son was really innocent, would he have left with nothing?!"
Seeing Old Lin getting angry, Zeng's father's tone also rose: "Dear father-in-law, that's not right! My son did that only to save his job and thought your daughter might reconsider, who knew she would cheat during the marriage! Had we known earlier, would we agree to such humiliating terms?"
Old Lin was so angry his blood pressure surged: "Evidence, where's your evidence? My daughter has evidence of Zeng Xianyong cheating!"
Zeng Xianyong said: "Chat records can be Photoshopped; can they be used as evidence? Moreover, even if she has evidence, don't I have so too? I once caught them together in the house and even took photos."
"Nonsense!"
Zeng Xianyong smirked: "Believe it or not! When the ti cos, I'll print so flyers, spread photos of those adulterers all over your neighborhood, and even send them to your hotown. Let's see if you can still hold your heads up then!"
"You dare!"
Old Lin glared, his chest heaving with anger: "And watch your mouth, what do you an by 'adulterers'!"
"What's there to fear?! I've already lost my job anyway, if we are going down, we are going down together!"
Zeng Xianyong angrily stood up: "We'll see who suffers more! I'm not afraid since I've nothing to lose!"
Old Lin, feeling choked up, pointed at him: "I must have been blind to let Yuchang marry you!"
Zeng Xianyong turned his anger into a sneer: "My dear father-in-law, it's too late for regrets now."
Zeng's father played the good guy: "Dear father-in-law and mother-in-law, we actually don't ask for much, just three things: the house, the car, and the savings."
Upon hearing this, Old Lin's wife could no longer suppress her anger: "You want the house and the car? Do you even have any sha? We even paid half the down paynt for that house!"
"The child is already yours, what's wrong with wanting the house and car! Moreover, I want two-thirds of the savings too!"
Zeng Xianyong spoke boldly, "I'm laying it out here today. If we can't co to an agreent, I'm not leaving! If you try to drive out, fine, I'll just go and sit next door. If the neighbor won't let sit, I'll sit by the elevator and tell everyone that Old Lin's daughter is cheating outside."
"How can you be so shaless!"
Old Lin and his wife were infuriated, their faces turning pale.
But at this mont, the doorbell rang with a "ding-dong."
Old Lin's wife's eyes flickered with hope: "It's the daughter coming back....."
Old Lin sighed: "Even if she cos, how does it matter, do you not know your daughter? How can she handle such a vile person."
