Chapter 184: Chapter 179: Mom on the Attack

Liu Yan intends to sue Lizhi and Granny Kong, vowing to put them behind bars.

In Granny Kong’s hometown, it is common for mother-in-laws and husbands to abuse their wives. She never knew that just helping her son could lead to imprisonment; she was so terrified at the moment that she collapsed on the ground. When the police came to arrest her forcefully, she thrashed about and stubbornly refused to cooperate. However, the police aren’t easily swayed by such unreasonable behavior from the elderly, having seen it too often, they showed no sympathy and forcefully dragged her into the vehicle on both sides. Due to insufficient space in the detention center, she was even locked up in the same room as Lizhi.

"Son, what are we going to do now?" Granny Kong’s legs trembled as she asked in a quivering voice, completely devoid of her usual arrogance, "If the villagers learn about us being jailed, they will laugh us to death. How could Liu Yan be so heartless? She bit you too, why wasn’t she arrested?"

When it rains it pours, Ye Qiu’s lawsuit has not yet been resolved, and here Liu Yan is suing him again, along with Lawyer Liu claiming that if he does not settle the final payment, he will face another lawsuit. But now his assets are frozen; where would he get fifty thousand dollars?

Even being detained, they need money for bail. What used to be a trivial amount for him in the past has now become a life-threatening burden.

Lizhi had the police call Kong Zhenzhen; although Zhenzhen did come, she too had no money to bail them out.

Lizhi angrily exclaimed: "The bank hasn’t seized your assets, have you spent all the living expenses I gave you before?"

Zhenzhen felt slightly guilty yet dared not admit it, reluctantly saying, "Brother, you know I need to socialize at school, and my friends are all from rich families. Naturally, my expenses are huge, where would I get any money?"

"Does a student like you need to spend fifty thousand a month?" Lizhi glared at Zhenzhen, feeling she was completely unreasonable.

"What?" Zhenzhen hadn’t thought up a good excuse yet when Granny Kong began yelling from the side, "Are you giving that useless girl fifty thousand a month for living expenses?"

Hearing Granny Kong say this, Zhenzhen became even less willing to part with the money she had painstakingly saved to bail them out, thinking well if her mother thinks girls are useless and will eventually belong to other families, then she might as well consider herself no longer part of the Kong Family.

However, considering Lizhi’s previous influence, and fearing he might trouble her after getting out, Zhenzhen didn’t just storm off. Instead, she suggested to her brother, "Bro, don’t you have friends and business partners outside? Maybe you could call them to borrow some money?"

Lizhi pondered this and, perhaps with the police’s permission, started making calls to his old friends.

"Hello, Old Kong, what? You’re at the police station? And you need to borrow money? Brother, I’m not being unsympathetic, but think about that asset transfer matter. Old Li and Da Luo are under investigation for helping you and still facing losses. I’m just a driver, with a wife and kids to support at home, I don’t have spare money. Why don’t you ask Xiao Zhang?"

"Hello, Boss Kong! Borrow money? Ah, I’m really sorry, I’m not being unsympathetic, but my mother-in-law was hit by someone, and we haven’t found the perpetrator. It’s really a time when I need money. If there’s anything else I can help with, just say so, but I really can’t spare any money right now."

"Hello, Xiao Kong, ah? What? I’m in the countryside, the signal is bad... *beep...beep...*"

One after another, all responses were like this, making Lizhi angrily throw the phone. When he had money, everyone flocked to him, but now that he is down and out, they couldn’t stay far enough away.

Zhenzhen looked at her brother, saying cautiously, "Brother, I found a summer job, could I go now? If the boss docks my pay, our family will be in an even worse situation. I’ll ask the boss if he could pay me an advance on my salary."

Lizhi couldn’t believe his usually lazy sister would find a job so quickly, but in his current situation, he had no choice but to believe her. Indeed, before he could get out, the only person he could rely on was his sister.

"Then go, but be careful on the way, and speak politely to your boss," Lizhi stiffly said.

"Hey, if you need anything, have the police call me."

"Mhm."

Upon walking out of the detention center’s main gate, Kong Zhenzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Finding a job was impossible; her earlier words were just a random excuse upon seeing her brother’s distressed face.

While the Kong Family was at their wits’ end and the rain continued endlessly, Ye Qiu was living comfortably on the other side, spending each day taking Little Wen Yin around to play. When the court case was mostly settled, she shared the news with her parents, who were far away in city T.

Ye Family had only one daughter, and when Ye Qiu married far away in city C, Ye Fu and Ye Mu were absolutely opposed. But at that time, Ye Qiu was determined to marry Kong Lizhi. Traditionally, parents could hardly be stubborn against their children’s will. After several months of disputes, they finally agreed but also took out their savings to prepare a down payment for Ye Qiu in city C. However, Ye Qiu was blinded by love for Kong Lizhi and gave all the money to him to start a company.

In her past life, Ye Qiu was rapidly cremated after her death. Ye Fu and Ye Mu had their suspicions, but they had a car accident on the road. Within two years, their health deteriorated, and the couple passed away one after another.

If there was a greatest regret in Ye Qiu’s previous life, besides not protecting her daughter well, it was not allowing her parents to enjoy their old age.

Reborn, she didn’t want them to worry anymore. In this life, she would stay close by their side and let them not worry about her.

"Mom, are you and Dad still busy at the shop?" As the call connected, Ye Qiu’s heart tightened; as a daughter, she was truly unfilial.

"Not busy today, your dad went to the park to play chess. Ah Qiu, how have you been lately? Is Wenyin behaving? Is Lizhi treating you well?" Ye Mu was a very kind woman, her words full of concern for her daughter.

Hearing this, Ye Qiu’s voice choked up, and her heart ached as if pricked by needles. How could she be so cruel to leave her parents?

"Mom, I’m good, Wenyin is also very obedient."

Ye Mu on the other end laughed: "That’s good, that’s good."

Ye Qiu, with her mobile clenched tightly, decided to tell her about the divorce: "Mom, I’ve divorced Kong Lizhi."

Ye Mu was startled by the news, Ye Qiu only heard a "thump" sound, probably something had fallen, Ye Qiu quickly asked, "Mom, are you okay? Mom, please speak!"

"I’m fine," Ye Mu managed to compose herself, surprisingly didn’t ask much, and after being silent for a while, she said, "It’s probably for the best that you divorced."

"Mom..." Ye Qiu was speechless, mouth open, unable to utter a word.

"You and Wenyin should come back to city T, your dad and I miss you a lot."

"Mhm."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qiu shed tears of regret. Mom and Dad must know that she had not been doing well, otherwise her mom wouldn’t have responded that way when she mentioned the divorce.
