Dong Yunrong pouted at her, "Pah, you thought we were deaf just now, didn't you? Did your own mother ever call you a slutty vixen?"

Can a mother break her child’s bones just because she wants to go to high school?

Can her mother pinch her arms every day and make her wash clothes and dishes in cold water every day?

Can a mother let her daughter in her 20s wear men's long-sleeved shirts and long trousers, wear a sweater that is so small that her younger brother can hardly take it off, and wear an old, old-fashioned and fat cotton coat?

How could my own mother be discharged from the hospital without waiting for her face to heal, and even take someone else’s compensation and say it’s for my brother? Bah! Your words have made me so angry that I want to hit someone.

Jin Guizhi backed away, "Officer Du, if she dares to hit me, I will call the police directly."

Du Sentian waved his hands at Dong Yunrong and said, "There's no need to beat her now. Tang Xiaolian is suing her for abuse. If she's found guilty, she'll have to spend at least two years in prison."

Du Sentian did it on purpose. He's a police officer, so he can't just threaten people. He's not wrong! The curses he used the moment he opened the door were truly unpleasant to hear. If this continues year after year, it would constitute mental abuse.

When Jin Guizhi heard what Du Sendian said, she broke out in a cold sweat. If she was caught, her job and her family would be over.

"Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian, please don't sue me because I at least raised you."

Tang Xiaolian nodded, "Okay, I have conditions."

"You, go ahead."

"I want to sever my ties with you and move my household registration out. I'm only taking my own belongings, including the 50,000 yuan compensation."

"impossible."

"impossible."

Jin Guizhi disagreed, and voices of disagreement were also heard outside the door.

Tang Peisheng pushed through the crowd and walked in, "Xiao Lian, you are my biological daughter, and Jin Guizhi is your stepmother."

Tang Xiaolian backed away, she was afraid of her adoptive father's eyes, as if he wanted to eat her.

Zhou Xiang pulled Tang Xiaolian over and said, "Mr. Tang, there's a test called paternity testing. Do you understand?"

Tang Peisheng finally saw the extra person in the living room and asked, "Miss Zhou Xiang Zhou?"

"It's me. I've investigated Tang Xiaolian's background thoroughly. I also know your thoughts clearly, Mr. Tang. They say the human heart is made of flesh, but I don't see that in you and your wife. I only see scars on Tang Xiaolian's face and her entire back.

Your hearts are harder than stone. A teenager was beaten severely for going to school. After the beating, she was not sent to the hospital. She waited until her back was rotten and then had the flesh scraped off. After she recovered, she still had to do the heavy housework.

Mr. Tang, you and your lover have been sued by Tang Xiaolian. Although you are not the one who abused her, your actions will still be punished."

Tang Peisheng didn't hear what happened before. He just saw many people running upstairs to his house. He thought something big had happened, so he rushed upstairs. Although it was not the big deal he thought, it was still a big deal.

Now, hearing that both the couple were sued, he raised his hand to slap Tang Xiaolian, but was grabbed by Du Sendian's arm.

Zhou Xiang felt that it was better in the past, when he could kick people with his legs. "Isn't this what you call conclusive evidence?"

Du Sentian nodded. "Tang Peisheng, she's under our protection now. If you dare to attack her again, don't blame us for prosecuting you directly. We won't be able to reconcile even if we ask you to."

Hearing that reconciliation was possible, Tang Peisheng and Jin Guizhi immediately nodded, "Okay, let's reconcile."

Dong Yunrong chuckled. "You don't think that just two simple words can erase everything, do you? The settlement is conditional. It's the condition Tang Xiaolian just mentioned. If you don't agree, then sue."

Jin Guizhi shook her head, "No, we raised her to this age, she has to repay us, right?"

Du Sentian was speechless at this legal ignorance. "Jin Guizhi, when you abused her, you were not entitled to retribution. Either go to jail or agree to her terms and reconcile."

Tang Peisheng rolled his eyes. "What about me? I didn't specifically abuse Xiaolian. It was my wife who did it. I accept any punishment. Xiaolian is my daughter. I don't agree to dissolve the relationship."

Du Sentian, who had come into contact with many criminals, was not aware of Tang Peisheng's psychology. He just wanted him to take Jin Guizhi away and leave Tang Xiaolian behind so that he could take advantage of the situation.

"You mean, you want to divorce Jin Guizhi?"

Tang Peisheng was about to nod when Jin Guizhi pounced on him, "Damn you, dare you try to get a divorce? What you're thinking..."

Zhou Xiang shouted in time: "Jin Guizhi, if you tear your face apart, don't blame me for using the most severe means."

Jin Guizhi shut up, and Zhou Xiang got angry. By the way, why did Zhou Xiang defend that damn girl Xiaolian?

Dong Yunrong grabbed Jin Guizhi and pushed her aside to prevent her from making a fuss and telling everything. If Tang Peisheng's thoughts were exposed, even if Tang Xiaolian was innocent, people would still make blind guesses, after all, Tang Xiaolian had lived in the Tang family for more than 20 years.

Zhou Xiang was very annoyed by this confusing situation. "Tang Peisheng, I call you Mr. Tang. Do you think I'm giving you face? The only conditions for reconciliation are those proposed by Tang Xiaolian. Otherwise, we'll see you in court. I will make you and your wife share the joys and sorrows together."

Du Sendian went to collect evidence from the onlookers and even went out of his way to find the Tang family's neighbors to collect evidence.

Du Sentian's evidence collection and Zhou Xiang's anger made Tang Peisheng and Jin Guizhi realize that the situation was irreversible. They could only choose one of the two options. "Okay, we agree to a settlement."

Zhou Xiang looked at his watch. It was already past four in the afternoon. "Okay, I'll give you some time to prepare. Tomorrow morning, we'll come back and go to the Civil Service Bureau to complete the cancellation procedures. At the same time, the Tong family must prepare 50,000 yuan as compensation for Tang Xiaolian's disfigurement. If you try to play tricks, it will be considered as you giving up on the settlement."
