Chapter 200 Any Chance of Victory
Although Sun Wenxiu was not highly educated, she still understood the difference between temporary wealth and a long-term meal ticket.
Qi Chenyan wanted to use 300,000 yuan to directly buy out the mother-daughter relationship between her and Yu Li.
This means that once she receives the 300,000 yuan and spends it all, she will no longer be able to use the debt of childbirth to morally blackmail Yu Li and rightfully make Yu Li support her as her mother.
Three hundred thousand yuan seems like a huge sum of money, but in reality, it wouldn't even be enough to buy a toilet in Beijing.
Moreover, Sun Wenxiu has great ambitions. She previously thought that it would be quite good if Yu Li could pay for her to buy a house of more than 100 square meters in Beijing.
But later, after hearing Ren Qingxue say that if one could buy a villa with a sea view, preferably next to Yu Li, then life would be incredibly comfortable.
By then, her family will be famous in the county town and even in the countryside. People in the village and the neighborhood will be extremely envious of her.
Compared to the long-term benefits that Yu Li can bring to Sun Wenxiu, the current 300,000 yuan seems as worthless as 30 yuan.
After realizing this, Sun Wenxiu's expression immediately changed.
“Son-in-law, although I know you mean well, how can you use money to insult the mother-daughter relationship between me and Xiaoli?”
Sun Wenxiu said indignantly, "I will not agree to this!"
Qi Chenyan was not surprised at all by Sun Wenxiu's sudden change of heart.
After all, anyone with a brain would realize that if they could maintain the mother-daughter relationship and cling to Yu Li, they could be like a bloodsucker, constantly draining Yu Li's life force.
Even though 300,000 yuan is a huge sum for Sun Wenxiu, it seems insignificant compared to being able to keep pestering Yu Li in the future.
Qi Chenyan was neither in a hurry nor annoyed. Instead, he withdrew his hand, leaned back casually in his chair, and spoke in a light tone, yet with a penetrating depth.
"Of course, you can refuse, in which case all the conveniences I have provided will be withdrawn."
"It's not just the 300,000 yuan and the debt, but also the 50,000 yuan in medical expenses, and the subsequent treatment costs for the child."
Qi Chenyan added slowly and deliberately, "Oh, right, I forgot to remind you, Qianqian's condition is serious, she needs a heart transplant, and just one heart will cost between 300,000 and 500,000."
"The surgery and subsequent treatment will cost at least a million, and right now you can't even come up with a mere fifty thousand. As for a million, I'm afraid even if your whole family sold their blood and drained all their blood, you still wouldn't be able to come up with that much, right?"
Sun Wenxiu's face was grim. "Xiaoli is Qingxue's older sister. If Qingxue is in trouble, as her older sister, she can't just stand by and do nothing..."
“As a daughter, she has a certain obligation to support you. According to the law, if you insist on maintaining the mother-daughter relationship, I can send you an extra 2,000 yuan of my basic salary each month as alimony.”
"As for the rest, Lili has no obligation. If you want to cause trouble, then I will call the police. I can only ask you, mother-in-law, to go to the police station to reunite with your youngest daughter."
"If you want to go to court, I will naturally fight you to the end. However, let me give you a friendly reminder: with Lili and I willing to give you monthly alimony, you have no grounds for this lawsuit, whether from a legal or moral standpoint."
Finally, Qi Chenyan concluded: "If you insist on making a scene and causing an ugly situation, then my remaining patience will run out. In the end, not only will you not get the 300,000, but you will also be ruined by huge medical expenses."
Qi Chenyan glanced at his watch. "I have a meeting in half an hour. You have ten minutes to think about it."
"If you are unwilling to sign and take the 300,000 in ten minutes, then we will have to see each other in court. But you have no chance of winning a lawsuit against me."
In front of his wife, Qi Chenyan was always gentle and kind, and did his best to respect all her decisions.
When facing outsiders, especially those who are unreasonable and argumentative, Qi Chenyan, disregarding his own dignity, exudes a kind of oppressive and domineering aura accumulated over the years.
Even those sharp-tongued foreign media outlets would be afraid of him, let alone someone like Sun Wenxiu, a paper tiger who puts on a brave face.
The only thing Sun Wenxiu could boast about was her blood relation with Yu Li.
However, given that Qi Chenyan has clearly stated that he can provide a fixed basic alimony every month, Sun Wenxiu's lawsuit against Yu Li for being unfilial is completely untenable from a legal standpoint.
Moreover, Yu Li can provide evidence that, over the years, Sun Wenxiu has not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother, except for giving birth to her.
Yu Li could also sue Sun Wenxiu for abusing her daughter and not being a proper mother.
Once the two sides break off relations, it all comes down to whose lawyer is more capable and who has the upper hand in the law.
Clearly, from both a moral and legal perspective, Sun Wenxiu is the one who should be condemned.
Moreover, even setting aside the fact that Sun Wenxiu wants to continue sucking Yu Li's blood, if she and Yu Li break up, then Sun Wenxiu will be completely unable to deal with Qianqian, who is currently in mortal danger.
If she cannot afford the medical expenses, the police will not release Ren Qingxue.
Sun Wenxiu loved her youngest daughter so much, how could she bear to let Ren Qingxue continue to suffer in the police station?
"Severing ties...is that also Xiaoli's idea? She wants to sever our mother-daughter relationship, so why doesn't she come and talk to me about it?"
Qi Chenyan coldly and ruthlessly shattered Sun Wenxiu's last shred of hope: "Because from beginning to end, she didn't want to see you."
“You are a good mother to Ren Qingxue, but not to Yu Li.”
As if realizing her mistake, Sun Wenxiu covered her face and began to cry.
But in the end, Sun Wenxiu, with trembling hands, signed her name and affixed her fingerprint to the agreement to sever ties with her family.
Qi Chenyan looked it over and, after confirming that it was correct, got up and straightened the slightly wrinkled hem of his clothes.
“Once the medical bills are paid, Ren Qingxue should be released by the afternoon at the latest. I will see you through to the end and buy you train tickets so you can go back to where you belong and never appear in front of Lili again.”
*
Ren Qingxue, who was completely unaware of the situation, thought that the other party would not pursue the matter and that everything was fine after she went through the procedures, signed the papers, and was released.
"Mom, did you ask Yu Li for this medical bill? At least she still has some conscience, knowing to hurry up and give me the money to get me out. I don't want to stay in that awful place for another minute. Come on, Mom, let's go back to the hotel to take a shower first."
But Sun Wenxiu stood still. "Qingxue, I've already cancelled the hotel reservation and bought the train tickets home. Let's go home. Let's not waste our time in the city. This place doesn't belong to us."
Upon hearing this, Ren Qingxue instantly exploded.
"Mom, what gives you the right to make this decision? I finally managed to escape this small town, and I finally have the chance to transform from an ugly duckling into a swan. I've found a job in Beijing, and I'll soon be able to establish myself. I'm not leaving!"
