Chapter 274: Deep Love for Son

"Aunt San, don't say that. Everyone needs time to adapt psychologically to this kind of blow. It's normal to be unable to accept it for a while." Zhao Xiaojing comforted her.

Dong Mei shook her head and looked at the dark night outside the window. "Your mother and I have had completely different personalities since we were little. Your mother is gentle and never gets angry with others, but she is very opinionated and tolerant. She always handles things calmly. You are very similar to her.

I've been a bit of a bully since I was little, always saying things that don't cut it. It seems I'm not willing to take any loss, but in reality, I'm just swallowing my anger and doing nothing but cowardly things. Yanyan is like me. Sometimes her stubbornness makes me really angry. Over the past two years, seeing her and Sun Junwei interact, she's like a mirror image of me and Zhou Jianye.

Zhao Xiaojing looked at Dong Mei worriedly, knowing that she was feeling sorry for her own kind. She wanted to comfort her that Zhou Chuyan would be fine and that things might not end up like this. But when she thought about how Zhou Chuyan and her husband usually behaved in such a chaotic manner, she silently shut her mouth.

I've been talking about this with Dong Mei these past two days, and I've been worried that she wouldn't be able to control her temper and would go to Zhou Jianye to settle the score. But now that she's so calm, I'm worried that she's suppressed it to the extreme and might get into trouble.

"I've been so miserable for half my life. Although I'm blind, at least I have a job. It's not a good job, but after I retire next year, the government will still provide me with a meal.

But Yanyan, apart from inheriting my bad temper, didn't inherit anything else from me. She was also spoiled. Now Hanhan has grown up, but she still doesn't know what to do all day long.

Now I feel sick if I have to stay under the same roof with Zhou Jianye for one more second. I want to pour a basin of cold water on him and tell him to get out. No matter how much money he has, or who his sons and women are, I can't afford to offend him but I can avoid him. I want a divorce and peace of mind, and then I will be relieved.

Even if I don't get any money from him, so what? I'm old, why do I need money?

Xiaojing, I was not happy when you left home half a year ago, but now seeing you come back energetic, beautiful, and able to make money on your own, I feel happy and sad. I am sad that your mother will never see you again, but I am happy that you have finally found your own way. I am relieved now.

But Yanyan, what should Yanyan do? Yanyan got the worst of me and Zhou Jianye. She's stupid, lazy, and always has no idea how high the sky is. Now I want to make it quick and ask Zhou Jianye to get out right away. I want a divorce right away. Of course he's willing. I'm not after the money. I just think of it as being bitten by a dog for so many years. I'm finally free.

But Yanyan won't get a penny this way. If she gets divorced like me, she won't have a way out. How will she live?"

Dong Mei remained motionless, looking out the window, her words as soft as a whisper. Zhao Xiaojing looked at her with a slightly frown, thinking of her mother who was sick in bed. She held her hand and worried about her future.

Although Dong Mei thought that their personalities were completely different, at this time, their deep love for their son was exactly the same.

"Xiao Jing, you must keep this matter completely confidential. You can't reveal a single word to your sister Yanyan. She's impulsive and stupid. If she finds out about this, she'll definitely make a scene in front of Zhou Jianye.

You shouldn't act differently in front of Zhou Jianye. Just treat him the same way as before.

Also, be sure to hide the things on your phone. You young people know how to use phones, so it's safer with you than with me."

Zhao Xiaojing nodded, but after listening to Dong Mei's explanation, she was confused. What was Third Aunt trying to do? She didn't seem to want a divorce, nor did she seem to want to compromise.

Before she could pause in her confusion, Dong Mei continued, "I know Zhou Jianye. He's extremely selfish. Even if it was Zheng Zihui, he wouldn't necessarily trust her with all the money. He would definitely hide it well and keep most of it for himself."

The husband of a childhood friend of mine is a lawyer. He used to be very busy all year round, but he retired two years ago. The two of them traveled around and only came back before the New Year.

After they're done with their work during the New Year holidays, I'll go to her house and ask them to help me figure it out. Then I can gather evidence and go to court. I doubt the court will be able to find his money, and Zhou Jianye wouldn't be so predictable as to transfer his assets ahead of time."

Zhao Xiaojing's eyes lit up and she turned her head to look at Dong Mei, whose eyes had shrunk due to constant tears in the past two days, but her eyes were extremely restrained and cold.

【bite】

The system beeped again.

Perhaps the backpack's tools had finally been updated. Zhao Xiaojing was delighted, realizing that Dong Mei had truly made up her mind this time. "Third Aunt, although having a malignant tumor removed will certainly be painful and cause anxiety, it's much better than having a malignant tumor you don't know where it is and where it will cause future harm."

You will definitely find it, I believe you will win."

Dong Mei looked at Zhao Xiaojing in a daze, with countless sighs and apologies in her heart. After a while, Dong Mei left and the room returned to silence.

Zhao Xiaojing quickly lay down and opened the system backpack to check for updated tools.

[One-time use of the universal high-efficiency potion (applies to a specific person, passively increasing work efficiency by 10 times, reducing all ineffective time-consuming tasks until the most important task is completed)!]

Highly effective medicine? Zhao Xiaojing read the instructions, feeling rather bewildered.

She was really amazed by the usage of the universal camera before. Apart from the waiting, the customized shooting settings can be said to be quite invincible, and it really lived up to the word "universal". Later, it became a very key prop in her entire plan. It can be said that without the universal camera, telling Dong Mei about this matter would become much more difficult.

But what could this all-purpose, highly effective potion do at this juncture? Could it expedite Dong Mei's divorce? It sounded like it could have any real purpose other than shortening the psychological torment.

Dong Mei had endured for decades. While using potions to increase efficiency would have made things easier for her, in this situation, what difference did fast and slow make? In contrast, there must be more important key points that required more practical props to pry open, right?

For example, cracking the password of Wang Jiandang’s card, or finding out where Wang Jiandang’s money went.

Zhao Xiaojing was puzzled. At this moment, the potion in the system backpack began to flash.

System flashing usually reminds you of things to pay attention to or that a module has been updated. This is the first time Zhao Xiaojing has seen individual props flashing.

Zhao Xiaojing clicked in confusion, and a one-minute countdown sign immediately popped up above the prop's head.

[The effective usage time of the item enters the countdown]

【0 0: 0 0:5 9】

【0 0: 0 0:5 8】

【0 0: 0 0:5 7】

…

Isn't the dog system just urging her to use it? I haven't seen it do this before with the universal camera.

As soon as you question it, it starts counting down. How sinister!

Zhao Xiaojing complained while clicking to use it.
