Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282: Cousin Wants a Divorce Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282: Cousin Wants a Divorce Xie Xingchen answered as if it were a matter of course, “Yes, we’re all friends after all. She likes to hang out at bars a lot, and so do I, so wouldn’t that naturally make us get to know each other better?”
“You still have the leisure to go drinking at bars? Didn’t your dad tell you to go back and get married?”
“I’m not getting married anymore. I’m planning to set up on my own and stop being a marital pawn for my dad.”
Xie Xingchen spoke with a light tone, not taking the arranged marriage seriously, “Senior brother, stop worrying about , it’s not important. Co out for a drink, it’s been a long ti since we drank together.”
“No.”
Lu Lingche said indifferently, and then he hung up the call.
He knew Xie Xingchen wanted to comfort him, but he didn’t need any consolation.
He just needed so ti to reshape his perception of certain people in this world.
He had always considered himself sufficiently indifferent to the world and did not hold much hope for the people in it, but his elder brother indeed was different to him.
His brother was the only color in his gloomy childhood.
And now, that color was fading and had also beco gray.
——
Half a month later, it was the Lunar New Year.
Qiao Yin followed her grandmother back to the small town, and her uncle’s family went back as well.
Unexpectedly, her cousin Ye Wan also ca back with her child to celebrate the New Year.
Previously, she had always spent the New Year with her mother-in-law, but this year she ca back, which was very unusual.
Only after asking did Qiao Yin find out that her cousin had actually decided to divorce her husband!
“He had an affair with his female colleague, and I only found out at the end of the year. It turns out he had been giving most of the money he earned to that woman, he even bought her a car, and he was paying for her car loan every month! For the past six months, my son and I had only a thousand yuan a month to spend for household expenses!”
When Ye Wan talked about these things, she still could not hide her sadness, “Yinyin, I’m so thankful to you for giving a job, allowing my son and to have money to spend, otherwise, the two of us would have starved.”
In fact, Qiao Yin had always had a poor impression of that brother-in-law, but out of respect for her cousin, she had never said anything.
But she had thought that the brother-in-law was just a little chauvinistic and still cared for the cousin and the child. She never expected him to have an affair!
They say a man’s heart goes where his money goes, and looking at it now, it seems entirely true.
The brother-in-law had long stopped liking her cousin. He had fallen for soone else, so he only gave a thousand yuan a month for household expenses to the cousin and forbade her from working, demanding she stay at ho to do the laundry, cook, and take care of the child.
My cousin was forced into a corner and had to secretly take the child with her to work at her clinic.
n really can’t be relied on; you have to depend on yourself.
Qiao Yin comforted her cousin for a while, then brought up the issue of property, “He cheated, he is the one at fault; the house and the car were bought together by you both, so you don’t have to be polite with him. These should belong to you and the child, don’t let him take them away.”
Yet Ye Wan shook her head, “He is now fighting with for custody of the child. I don’t earn as much as he does, and the court will likely award the child to him. He said, unless I walk away with nothing, otherwise, I can forget about getting the child.”
As she spoke, she glanced at her son quietly playing with toys beside her, and her eyes imdiately reddened.
“I could give up everything, but An is my life, and I must get his custody.”
Qiao Yin scoffed, “He cheated, and he wants you, cousin, to walk away with nothing? He must be dreaming!”
“Not only is he demanding that I leave without a penny, but he also wants the pre-marriage house as well. That house is currently occupied by my older cousin-in-law. It was said to be temporary for the child’s schooling, but that ‘temporary’ has turned into three years, and now my cousin-in-law’s family refuses to move out and has practically claid that house as their own.”
Listening to this, Qiao Yin was both shocked and angry, “There’s such a thing?!”
The apartnt her cousin bought before getting married was a gift from her grandmother, who paid for it in full and only put the cousin’s na on it.
It was ant to be her cousin’s bridal dowry, with the hope that no matter what happened, she would always have a small nest of her own to settle into.
But she never imagined that it would be seized by her older cousin-in-law!
