at the same time.
Wang Chungui was feeling depressed. She dialed Xu Huaiyuan's number again, but her son still wouldn't answer.
Xu Shengfu sat with his legs crossed, the barbecue he was eating and beer piled up in front of him on the coffee table, peanut shells scattered all over the floor, the ashtray was full but not emptied, and cigarette ash was scattered all over the floor. He held the TV screen with one hand and scrolled through videos on his phone with the other, looking particularly dashing.
Wang Chungui is completely neurotic. Ever since her son got divorced, she has been unable to adapt to anything, feels uncomfortable in everything, and is anxious all day long.
I can't really explain it.
I feel like I'm going crazy.
Xu Shengfu adapted to the situation. He simply ignored the mess at home and continued living his life as usual, occasionally going out with his old friends to chat and have a few drinks.
It's so beautiful.
Even knowing that their son was under a lot of pressure, the two elderly people had already been spoiled.
How could I possibly work now?
Looking at her husband's well-fed appearance, and how his belly had grown so big lately, all from eating meat and drinking alcohol, Wang Chungui was furious. "Look at you! All you do all day is eat and drink! You never think about the family! What good are you?! You're just a spendthrift!"
As she spoke, she reached out to snatch the newly opened beer from Xu Shengfu's hand. A small bottle cost ten or twenty yuan, yet he was so willing to spend money so extravagantly.
Xu Shengfu forcefully slapped Wang Chungui's hand away, shouting reeking of alcohol, "You think I'm giving you face?! If it weren't for Huaiyuan being afraid you'd cause trouble and leaving me, your father, to watch over you, do you think I'd even bother with you?!"
He's long since gone off to indulge in debauchery.
How could he possibly stay home and watch over that wretched woman?! Isn't he just afraid that if he doesn't do as he's told, his son won't give him any living expenses?
Otherwise, how could he possibly be at home?
Wang Chungui was dissatisfied, and Xu Shengfu was even more dissatisfied. He had drunk some alcohol and got a little tipsy, so he started cursing, "If it weren't for your gossipy mouth that could have ruined this family, if you had been nicer to Jiang Tong, she wouldn't have left so easily. If you had been closer to her, maybe you could have persuaded her and she would have listened!"
Xu Shengfu is now pinning all the blame on Wang Chungui, as if he has found fault with her and keeps arguing with her about it every day.
Little did they know that there could never be only one reason for a child's divorce, and they were completely unaware of their own mistakes.
Wang Chungui was about to throw a tantrum after being hit by her husband, but she was frightened by Xu Shengfu's recent fierceness and dared not make a scene. However, the name Jiang Tong was her trigger point, and she immediately exploded, tearing at Xu Shengfu and starting to fight.
"My fault?? This family falling apart is all my fault? This is outrageous, you dog! You're going to die, sob sob! I've been married to you for so many years, and now you're cursing me every day because of that bitch who divorced our son! Do you have any conscience?! Did I ask you to stay with me? If you're happy, then leave! Why are you taking your anger out on me, sob sob! God! Please open your eyes and look at these heartless people!"
Wang Chungui started wailing and crying again, scratching and crying at Xu Shengfu.
The elderly couple could still fight.
The loud crackling noises made the neighbors think that another argument was about to break out.
The neighbors and property management have reported the matter several times, and the police have been called in a few times, but it's all because of domestic issues that are hard to discuss, leaving everyone in a state of great distress.
Everyone was thinking to themselves, how arrogant Wang Chungui was when her son remarried?
Now he's separated from Jiang Tong.
The whole family was ruined; they argued and smashed things day and night.
When Xu Huaiyuan rushed back, he found his parents fighting, both with bruises and swelling on their faces. He was so angry that he put down his briefcase and the gifts he had brought back, and went up to separate the two elders, "What's wrong with you two now?!"
To be honest, he's reaping what he sowed. Before, Jiang Tong helped take care of his parents' affairs, and he could push everything onto her, perfectly forming a barrier so that Xu Huaiyuan didn't have to worry about his parents at all.
His new wife now dislikes his parents, and he has to fawn over her every day. He finally managed to appease her and manage to keep things under control at the company, but then he received a barrage of calls from his mother. In the end, he had no choice but to come back and visit her.
When he returned home, he witnessed his parents arguing, which caused Xu Huaiyuan to suffer a heart attack.
When Wang Chungui saw her son return, she immediately burst into tears, grabbing Xu Huaiyuan and saying aggrievedly, "Look at your father! He's scolded me time and time again for that bitch! You have to do something about him! Otherwise, I can't live with him anymore!"
Xu Shengfu spat out a mouthful of blood, cursing under the bloody scratches covering his face and neck, "Pah! If you really want a divorce, then let's get one! The son will stay with me, and you'll leave with nothing! You're always causing trouble, a complete madman!! I think our family will be ruined by you sooner or later!"
He had just started cursing when he saw his son bring back good wine and cigarettes, and his anger immediately subsided by more than half. He went over and looked through them.
Xu Huaiyuan had a splitting headache, and he couldn't help but say, "I've finally managed to get my life a little more peaceful, can you two please stop causing me trouble?! What's with the divorce? Aren't you two already causing enough chaos at home?"
He now deeply regrets his actions, wishing he hadn't let Jiang Tong get a divorce so easily.
Then none of this messy stuff would have happened.
It left him completely exhausted!
Wang Chungui wouldn't let it go. Grabbing her son, she suddenly remembered something and frantically demanded, "Right, didn't you say you were going to report Jiang Tong for me? You were going to bring Peipei back to me! Where's Peipei?!"
Xu Huaiyuan had a splitting headache. He loosened his tie and said irritably, "What's this about suing Jiang Tong? Do I have time for that right now? You're just thinking about what you want. At least care about how your son is doing! I'm being treated like a servant every day, and the company almost went bankrupt, you know that?!"
If it weren't for his new wife's family having some influence, his company would have been gone.
Xu Huaiyuan's mind drifted to the mysterious man beside Jiang Tong. Judging from his family background, he was no ordinary man. He now suspected that the man had sent someone to frame him.
If he hadn't managed to appease his new wife, and if her family hadn't wanted their daughter to have a good life and therefore asked a powerful relative to protect her, his company would have gone bankrupt by now.
"Mom, please stop making a fuss. Let's put Peipei's matter aside for now. There's no rush. Ke Rou's parents went to ask a distant relative of theirs for help. This is a very powerful person, and they're treating me differently. They said they want to do business with me. This time, I'll not only turn my life around, but I'll also earn even more! The business can expand dozens of times! Hundreds of times! I'll be so powerful then!"
Xu Huaiyuan was all smiles when he talked about this. For a man, achieving success in his career is definitely a lifelong pursuit!
He firmly believed it.
As long as he earns enough, he can show Jiang Tong his power and then spend more money, and Pei Pei and the others will naturally accept him as their father!
