Chapter 84: Change Surname? (13)

Mother Ren looked at Lan Jin, furious. She knew that a family couldn't have two shrewd people. She was, and Lan Jin was, too. So they were destined not to be good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. But she truly felt that she had never treated Lan Jin unfairly. "You haven't spent a penny of our family's money, the wedding, the betrothal gifts, the house..."

"You're still so nervous about mentioning a betrothal gift. I'd like to have a serious conversation with you about this." Before Ren's mother could finish her words, Lan Jin interrupted her, saying, "You're talking about a wedding. The money for the wedding banquet and everything else is split equally between your family and me. How am I taking advantage of your family? Are you planning on making me pay for it all? Then why is your son getting married? Why not just marry into your family's family?"

Dowry, you did give me a dowry, but right after we got married, you asked for the money back, claiming your business wasn't making ends meet. I almost got divorced with Ren Xing, but you didn't take that idea back. If I had known, we should have divorced then. The dowry was just a formality, and I didn't take a single cent. I even wrote a note to prove it, and it's still at my house. What? Do you want to bring it over for a confrontation?

Speaking of the house, it's true that your family bought it, and I had nothing to do with it. So, what's your problem with the renovations? Didn't I buy all the furniture so that we wouldn't live in this house for nothing? Add to that the utilities after we got married, and your family's food and living expenses, and isn't that enough to cover the rent for these past few years?

If you want to talk about living expenses again, you give Ren Xing 20,000 yuan a month as living expenses, but your son doesn't spend a penny on me. Even the food and drink at home every day are spent on my money. Don't say it's impossible. I don't need to say what kind of person your son is.

Anyway, everything between us is clean, so I don't owe your family anything."

Ren's mother was so angry that she gasped for breath. "You are husband and wife after all, is there any need to say that to him? I don't even know where he is now."

"Where else could he be? He's not fooling around at some woman's house. You don't really think that Meng Ying is the only woman Ren Xing has outside, do you? Don't be naive. What kind of person is your son? Why do I always have to remind him?"

It would have been fine if Lan Jin and Ren's mother didn't make a fuss. But now that they did, Meng Ying was completely disillusioned. The self-proclaimed rich second-generation whom she had used all means to snatch away turned out to have very little money. Lan Jin, the original wife, didn't even spend his money, let alone her, a woman outside. Not only was it all in vain, but she also had to bear such a crime. Now Ren Xing was missing. Just like Lan Jin said, even if Ren's father and mother died and Ren Xing inherited it, he might not spend it for her.

Meng Ying felt extremely aggrieved at this moment, and immediately yelled, "So you didn't spend a penny of the Ren family's money on your wedding? Then why did you get married for nothing and find an ancestor to serve you back home? Are you stupid?"

"I was young and ignorant. Ren Xing has indeed accomplished nothing, but he has a good-looking face. Besides his money, isn't it his face that you like him?" Lan Jin was not talking nonsense. Although Ren Xing was not good at anything, he had a really good-looking face. At least he was the type that Lan Jin liked. If Meng Ying hadn't seduced him away, and the end of the world hadn't come, she would not be able to see through Ren Xing's character and would definitely continue to live with him. In a word, she is really a love-brained person.

But after her love-brain was discarded, Lan Jin returned to her original shrewd self. At this moment, she couldn't help but express her gratitude: "Anyway, I sincerely thank you for taking my ex-husband away. I am truly grateful, but you always don't believe me. I am also helpless. You always believe what I say now, right?"

When Lan Jin said this, there was a hint of grievance in her tone. However, when Ling Jiang heard this, he really couldn't help laughing out loud.

Although Ling Jiang's smile was inappropriate, she was not an important person and no one paid any attention to her. But Meng Ying was really choked by her. To be honest, even Ren's father was more generous than Ren Xing.

However, Ren's parents always felt that this was not the reason why Lan Jin revealed the family's scandal, "This is just a family matter..."

"I didn't lie anyway. You can't ask me to hide something just because you did something shameful. Why should I help you hide it? Besides, do you know the consequences of lying to the police? My Qiao Qiao knows to tell the truth to the police. Don't you two, who are decades old, even understand this?"

Lan Jin almost said that these two guys were not even as good as children. Ren's father said angrily: "We are Qiao Qiao's grandparents after all. You should be more careful with your words."

Grandpa and grandma, Ren Siqiao has been sitting next to her for a long time. He never said hello from the beginning, and didn't even raise his eyes. Now he remembered that he had a granddaughter.

However, Ren Siqiao really cooperated with Lan Jin. After hearing this, she asked Lan Jin directly, "Mom, who are grandpa and grandma?"

Ren's mother thought she had found a loophole to criticize Lan Jin, and angrily scolded her, "Lan Jin, this is how you usually teach your children. You don't even recognize your own grandparents. Will you recognize the ancestors of the Ren family in the future?"

"Our Qiao Qiao has suffered so much. From the time I was pregnant with her until now, this is the first time our Qiao Qiao has seen her own grandparents. What grandparents? She doesn't even recognize them. Every time I want to bring the child to your house, you say you don't want to see them. I call you on video but you don't answer. Is this my fault? You are too good at shirking responsibility."

So in this situation, is there anything wrong with the granddaughter not recognizing her grandparents?

Although Ren Siqiao didn't understand such a long conversation, she knew that she didn't know her grandparents, just like she pretended not to know her hated father. "Qiaoqiao has never seen them, Mom, who are grandparents?"

Ren Siqiao's words made everyone present feel distressed. The child was so innocent, and now he was being used by a few bad-hearted adults to cause a quarrel.

However, at this moment, Lan Jin had an idea in her mind. Didn't the Ren family dislike her child? Didn't they say that she didn't recognize the old couple and ancestors of the Ren family?

Why would she just disown him? Why would she let her child have the surname of someone she didn't like? Wouldn't it be better to just change it? Anyway, it should be possible to change it now.

should.

It can be changed.

Lan Jin said to Ren Siqiao, "Qiaoqiao, how about I change your last name? Will you take my last name from now on?"

Take your mother's last name?

Ren Siqiao perked up. She asked with a smile, "Lan?"

"Yes, my last name is Lan, just like my mother's."

Ren Siqiao immediately clapped his hands happily, "Okay, okay, take mom's last name, take mom's last name."

The mother and daughter's discussion was too hasty. They were clearly discussing other topics just now, so how could they bring up the issue of changing surnames?

But the change of surname immediately caused dissatisfaction among Ren's parents. Now their son has disappeared and they don't know if he can come back. Could it be that even their granddaughter will no longer be their own?
