Ji Qing sat there stiffly, not tasting the food he was eating.

Lu Jingchuan looked helplessly at Ji Qing who was standing opposite him. If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?

In the end, no one is happy.

The laughter and joy in the courtyard became a little strange after Ji Qing arrived. The atmosphere during dinner was no longer so relaxed and happy, and everyone didn't talk so much to each other.

After dinner, the sisters-in-law stood up and helped Shen Li clean up the dishes.

Shen Li originally wanted to clean up but was stopped by Duran, "Let me do it, you just sit here and talk with everyone."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mom." Shen Li said.

"Xuanxuan, don't you want to divide up the marital property?" Ji Qing stood up and walked to Lin Xuanxuan's side. "Come back with me, and I'll count out the money for you."

Lin Xuanxuan was reluctant to go back to that home, but thinking that this might be the last time she would go back in her life, she agreed, "Okay."

Ji Qing looked at Shen Li who was entertaining everyone not far away, "Comrade Shen, Xuanxuan and I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Okay." Shen Li glanced at Lin Xuanxuan worriedly, her eyes reminding her to "be more careful."

Lin Xuanxuan followed Ji Qing and left.

"I think Captain Ji doesn't seem to want to get divorced." One of the sisters-in-law spoke up.

"I think so too. It seems that Ji Qing still has feelings for Xuan Xuan."

"Even if there is love, it's no use! Xuanxuan's child was killed by Ji Qing and that bitch Su Xuezhi. She suffered so much pain. There is no way around it without a divorce!" Everyone was talking.

Lin Xuanxuan followed Ji Qing out of the yard.

"Xuanxuan, you're not feeling well after giving birth. How about I carry you on my back?" Ji Qing's gloomy eyes fell on Lin Xuanxuan, and he spoke with concern.

"No need." Lin Xuanxuan's voice was cold, and she didn't even glance at Ji Qing.

Ji Qing didn't know what to say.

Not long after, the two returned to Ji Qing's original home.

"Xuanxuan...you're here." Li Xiumei was sitting on the sofa with a sick look on her face. She had been suffering from cervical spondylosis for a while, and the pain was only relieved by taking painkillers. However, taking too much painkillers would have side effects. After taking too much, she obviously felt that the effect of the medicine was not so good.

Li Xiumei's back was sore from lying in bed, so she had no choice but to sit on the sofa. After all, sitting was better than lying down.

Seeing Lin Xuanxuan, Li Xiumei's sickly face showed some joy, "I knew you loved my son so much, why did you make up your mind to divorce him? I was right, it's only been a few days and you've come back eagerly," Li Xiumei smiled proudly, "If you had known this would happen, you shouldn't have made trouble with my son. It made everyone unhappy, and you would have come back in disgrace, how shameful it would be!"

"I came back this time to divide the property." Lin Xuanxuan looked coldly at the evil mother-in-law who had oppressed and enslaved her for a long time.

"What? Divide the property?" Li Xiumei felt even more dizzy. "Lin Xuanxuan, you are so brave! Are you thinking of turning the tables?! When my son married you, you were the one who won the upper hand. How dare you divide my son's property?! What's your basis?! Who do you think you are?"

Li Xiumei was so angry that she held on to a corner of the sofa and stood up tremblingly.

"Mom," Ji Qing's eyes turned a little colder, and his face was icy, "Mom, please be careful with your words. I did this voluntarily."

"What are you volunteering for? I don't agree! Is it easy for you to make money from these things? Why should this bastard take your money without doing anything?" Li Xiumei pointed at Lin Xuanxuan's nose and shouted angrily.

Lin Xuanxuan curled her lips and smiled, "Just because Ji Qing and I are husband and wife, I have a share of every penny he makes. It's all our common property, and I have the right to divide it. This is supported by the country and the law!"

"You're such a bastard! You're an ungrateful bastard! Why did I agree to let us raise a bastard like you?" Li Xiumei stood up tremblingly and walked towards Lin Xuanxuan. She raised her hand to slap Lin Xuanxuan hard to teach her a lesson.

Ji Qing stood in front of Lin Xuanxuan and said, "Mom, I'm willing to give Xuanxuan some money. Please stop making trouble."

"You want to piss me off to death!" Li Xiumei glared at Ji Qing fiercely.

"I'm not here to argue with you. Where's the money?" Lin Xuanxuan lost her patience.

"You're such a scumbag! You're thinking about my son's money. No wonder your child died in your belly. It's because of a mother like you that your child..." Before Li Xiumei could finish her curse, Lin Xuanxuan bypassed Ji Qing and rushed to Li Xiumei, then raised her hand and slapped her hard in the face!

A crisp slap was heard and Li Xiumei was stunned.

"You bastard! How dare you hit me?!"

“Pah—”

Lin Xuanxuan slapped him hard again.

"I'm going to beat you, you old bastard!" Lin Xuanxuan's eyes were red, and she stared at Li Xiumei with trembling lips, "You cursed my child, you deserve to be beaten!"

"Ji Qing! You just watched her beat your own mother!" Li Xiumei slapped her thigh and stomped her feet in anger, "Why do you care about what she eats? If you hit her, hit her hard!"

Ji Qing was trapped between Li Xiumei and Lin Xuanxuan, feeling extremely embarrassed. He quickly pushed Li Xiumei, "Mom, you are wrong about this. No matter what, you can't curse that poor child. Go back to your room first."

As he spoke, Ji Qing dragged Li Xiumei back to the room, locked the door from the outside, and took out the key.

"Let me out! Let me tear this bitch apart!"

"You bastard, you're after my son's money, you're going to die!"

At this moment, Li Xiumei's cursing voice could be heard from inside.

But soon, the sound faded away.

Li Xiumei's cervical spondylosis prevented her from cursing like that, but after a while she lost all her temper.

"My mother was wrong in this matter. I apologize to you." Ji Qing looked at Lin Xuanxuan with complicated eyes full of apology.

"I'm here for only one purpose." Lin Xuanxuan's eyes were cold, without a trace of warmth.

Ji Qing's heart felt icy and cold, as if it was soaked in ice water.

It seemed that she didn't care about him at all.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have beaten his mother in front of him.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Ji Qing said in a harsh voice, "Come with me to the room."

Lin Xuanxuan followed Ji Qing into the room, and then the man closed the door.

He walked to the bedside and took out a cloth bag and an account book from under the pillow. "This is the account book of these families. Take a look."

"This is the money I give you, as compensation for all the suffering you have endured." The man's voice was hoarse and dark, and he looked at Lin Xuanxuan with gloomy eyes.
