Chapter 55 Don’t Let Your Grandson Recognize You
Because Shen Xingguo took Chen Baomei's passbook and ID card, she was afraid that she would be discovered if she went with Shen Xingguo, so she waited for Shen Xingguo nearby.
Bored of waiting, she went to the mall and while shopping, she came across a gold shop.
When the police arrived, she had already picked out her things and was sitting in the jewelry store, enjoying the salesgirl's attentive and considerate service of tea and snacks.
When she was caught, she was terrified.
When she saw Chen Baomei at the police station, Gao Xiuyun immediately grabbed Chen Baomei and cried to her for mercy without any manner. She watched her being dragged away by the police without saying a word to her.
Not long after, the three Shen Qin brothers arrived.
Shen Qin was called over by his biological father, Shen Xingguo, while Shen Ming was called over because Yan Jing asked him for help, saying that her mother-in-law was in trouble. As for Shen Rui, it was getting late and Chen Baomei felt it was unsafe to take a taxi, so she called him and asked him to come and take her home.
When the three brothers met at the police station, they found out that they were all there for the same thing.
Shen Xingguo hesitated on the phone and didn't say what he had done. Shen Qin didn't know the truth either, so he rushed over in a hurry. Only then did he find out that Shen Xingguo had actually colluded with his current wife to steal his mother's house.
He yelled at Shen Xingguo, "Dad, how could you do such a thing!"
He is a public official, yet his own father knowingly broke the law and committed something like theft.
Where would he put his face?
Shen Qin was almost angry to death.
"Stealing money is against the law, don't you know?"
Shen Qin wished he could pry open his father's head to see what he was thinking.
Shen Ming handed him a cigarette and said, "Brother, calm down."
"Don't blame Dad. We should just solve our family problems behind closed doors. It's Mom who has too many things to do and has to call the police."
"It's not a big deal. Just ask Mom to cancel the case."
We are all family, there is nothing we can’t talk about behind closed doors.
His mother, on the other hand, made such a big fuss, as if she was afraid that her sons wouldn't be embarrassed enough.
Chen Baomei, who was standing next to them, felt her heart sink to the bottom when she heard this.
When Shen Xingguo saw that both of his sons were on his side, he immediately stood up.
"Old woman, do you hear me? Go tell the police to cancel the case and let me go."
Chen Baomei pursed her lips and glanced at them one by one.
After a long silence, he said, "He stole my money. Are you going to let me forgive him?"
When Shen Qin saw his mother like this, he knew that she was a little disappointed with them.
But for Shen Xingguo and for himself, he still had to say what he had to say.
"Mom, I'm not asking you to forgive Dad, but if this gets out, it'll have a bad impact on all of us. Besides, Wen Wan and I both have public positions. If we make a big fuss, won't we be ridiculed by others?"
"Dad came up with this crazy idea because you gave him too little of his property. The house and land were built by you and Dad, and now that it's been demolished, Dad should get a little more. Dad has a problem, but Mom, you're not innocent either."
Yan Jing secretly pinched Shen Ming's lower back. Shen Ming glared at her and began to support his elder brother.
"Yes, Mom, what Big Brother said makes sense. Dad already has half of the property. If you don't want to give it to him, it makes sense for him to find a way to get it back..."
The two brothers sang the same tune, not only wanting Chen Baomei to withdraw the case, but also wanting Shen Xingguo to share her demolition compensation.
Shen Xingguo raised his chin proudly and sneered at Chen Baomei.
"Did you hear that? You're the one who's wrong! If you know what's good for you, tell the police to let me go. Otherwise, I'll sue you for false accusations and for putting me in jail!"
Chen Baomei ignored him and turned to Shen Rui, who was silent beside her.
"Chen Rui, what about you? Do you think so too?"
Shen Rui thought of his wife's advice. He looked at his aggressive father and two brothers, then turned to his mother, who had a calm expression but was actually extremely disappointed in them.
It was clearly Dad who made the mistake, but the two brothers shared the same hatred and urged Mom to give in first.
Although he felt a little unbalanced that his mother would not let go of the money, at this moment, he seemed to have more empathy for his mother.
Mom, it's really not easy for her.
"Mom, you make your own decision. I have no opinion."
Chen Baomei finally felt a little comforted.
At least this son is not as selfish as the two older ones.
Everyone is selfish. Chen Baomei also understands that if she holds on to the huge amount of demolition compensation, her children will feel uncomfortable to some extent. She can understand this, but she will never compromise.
Chen Baomei turned to Shen Xingguo and his two sons.
"We are all adults now, and everyone should pay the price for their actions. I will not withdraw the lawsuit. On the contrary, I will pursue it to the end."
"Don't try to persuade me. Just hire a lawyer for him and prepare for the court hearing."
Chen Baomei no longer wanted to give any unnecessary explanations, because even if she did, they wouldn't listen, and even if she did, they wouldn't understand.
They will only stand from their own perspective, compromise themselves, and give in.
Chen Baomei had had enough of this kind of thing in her previous life.
Because of the huge amount of money involved and Chen Baomei's firm attitude, Shen Xingguo and Gao Xiuyun didn't even have the chance to be released on bail.
Chen Baomei and Shen Rui had just reached the parking lot when Shen Qin, Shen Ming and Yan Jing caught up with them.
"Mom, are you really so heartless?"
Shen Qin was really about to collapse.
If his father was really sentenced, his career would end here and he would never have any hope of promotion.
Shen Ming also said: "Yes, Mom, people say that a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. Dad has lived with you for decades. How could you bear it?"
Chen Baomei didn't even look back at them.
"Heartless? Ha."
She couldn't help but sneer.
If I don't do what they want, I'm considered heartless. Then what about them who deliberately threw me into their rental house and ignored me in my previous life?
A beast?
At least animals contribute their bodies to their masters, but they are worse than animals!
Chen Baomei opened the car door and was about to get in, but Shen Ming rushed out and held the door.
"Mom, since you don't agree with Dad's matter, let's put it aside for now. I want to talk to you about Aunt Xiu's matter."
Yan Jing, who was jogging behind Shen Qin, spoke immediately.
"Auntie, my mother was forced. She was just dragged along by Uncle Xingguo to keep him company. She didn't participate in stealing the money. Can you tell the police to let her out?"
Chen Baomei's eyes fell on Yan Jing, the person who became her daughter-in-law in her previous life.
She looked delicate, innocent and kind, but she could calmly let Shen Ming snatch her cell phone to prevent her from contacting the outside world so that he could deliberately starve her to death.
Of course, Shen Ming is even more heartless than her. After all, she has no blood relationship with her, while Shen Ming is her biological son!
Chen Baomei narrowed her eyes. "She was forced? Then let her explain herself to the judge."
“Second brother!”
Shen Rui helped her pry Shen Ming's hands apart and let Chen Baomei get into the car.
Shen Rui got in the car and just started it when Yan Jing rushed to the front of the car, opened her arms and stopped the car, preventing them from driving away.
She said loudly: "Auntie, I gave birth to a son for Shen Ming, the only grandson of your Shen family. If you don't forgive my mother, I won't let your grandson recognize you!"
