Chapter 645: Liu Family (Part 1)
Ruan Qi was not interested in the Liu family's affairs, and it was none of her business who the younger generation of the Liu family married.
The ties between them and the Liu family had been completely severed since their grandmother Liu Qiuyu's death. Now, twenty years had passed, and the younger generation of the Liu family might not even have heard of the name 'Cheng Boyan', so how could they talk about kinship?
It was Liu Qiuyu's biological brother Liu Qiusheng, Ruan Qi who asked Mr. Xi a question.
Mr. Xi: "Liu Qiusheng is still alive and in good health. But he might as well be dead."
"Why do you say that?" Ruan Qi looked curious.
Old Master Xi: "Liu Qiusheng's wife, Wang Fang, is your grandmother's sister-in-law, you know that, right?"
When Ruan Qi heard the name Wang Fang, her face suddenly turned cold.
Wang Fang naturally knew about it.
When Liu Qiuyu was trapped in the Cheng family, Ruan Fengmian ran to the Liu family to ask Liu Qiusheng for help. Liu Qiusheng, mindful of their brotherly bond, did indeed argue with the Cheng family for a few days. However, when Wang Fang learned of this, she cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang herself, refusing to allow Liu Qiusheng to interfere in Liu Qiuyu's affairs.
Wang Fang said that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water; her life or death has nothing to do with her parents' family. She spoke with impudence, but she was also the most diligent person to bring things to her parents' home.
Liu Qiusheng was a coward to begin with, and his quarrel with the Cheng family was only for his own sake. He didn't really want to offend Cheng Qi at all. Now that Wang Fang had made such a fuss, he took advantage of the situation and stopped interfering in Liu Qiuyu's affairs.
Liu Qiuyu was therefore completely isolated and helpless.
Ruan Qi hates Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya, and she also hates Wang Fang and Liu Qiusheng.
If Liu Qiuyu's family had shown any decency, she wouldn't have been trapped in the Cheng family for so many years. Liu Qiusheng and Liu Qiuyu had been siblings for decades, and after Liu Qiuyu married into the Cheng family, he received so many benefits. But as soon as Liu Qiuyu got into trouble, they immediately turned against her. This brother-sister relationship is simply disgusting.
And there was Wang Fang, who, like Liu Qiuyu, was a woman, but she only knew how to make things difficult for other women. Back when Liu Qiuyu was at her parents' home, she took such good care of Wang Fang, but who knew that Wang Fang was such an ungrateful person!
Ruan Qi became angry when she thought of the Liu family couple.
She puffed her cheeks and asked Mr. Xi, "What happened to Wang Fang?"
"Wang Fang," Old Master Xi chuckled, rather gloatingly, "Wang Fang's second son is the son of Mr. Zhang next door!"
Ruan Qi: ???
"……What?!"
Seeing her shocked expression, Old Master Xi chuckled and told her what he knew: "Wang Fang's second son, your biological cousin, was conceived through an affair between Wang Fang and Old Zhang, who lived next door to the Liu family. He's not Liu Qiusheng's child at all."
“…”
There was so much information that Ruan Qi was having trouble wrapping her head around it.
She counted on her fingers, her eyes widening. "That's not right. Aren't my two cousins only one year apart in age? That second cousin is already over fifty years old this year, right? Liu Qiusheng has been cuckolded for over fifty years?!"
Mr. Xi nodded and laughed.
"She's been wearing it for fifty years! A few years ago, when your second cousin celebrated his fiftieth birthday, someone who knew the truth let it slip at a drunken table, and the whole thing came to light. It turns out Wang Fang had been having an affair with the neighbor, Old Zhang, less than a year after marrying into the Liu family. After she gave birth to her eldest son and came out of confinement, she took advantage of Liu Qiusheng's business trip to call Old Zhang over to the Liu family every night, and the two of them spent a whole month together!"
Ruan Qi: “!!!”
So shocked!
Ruan Qi had heard from Ruan Fengmian that there was a painter named Zhang who lived next door to the Liu family. This old Zhang and Liu Qiusheng were good friends, and the two families often visited and had dinner together.
Who would have thought that while they were having sex, Lao Zhang and Wang Fang would end up in the same bed?!
"What was Liu Qiusheng's reaction after he found out about this?"
"What else could he react to? He was furious." Old Master Xi grinned. "When Liu Qiusheng found out about this, he was so angry he went straight to the hospital. When he woke up, he and his two sons and two daughters all did a paternity test. The results showed that his eldest son and two daughters were his biological children, but his second son was definitely not his. He had been raising a son for Mr. Zhang next door for fifty years."
"..." Ruan Qi's mouth twitched, and she didn't know whether to gloat or express sympathy to Liu Qiu Sheng.
Mr. Xi continued, "After the test results came out, Liu Qiusheng slapped Wang Fang twice on the spot and threatened to divorce her. Of course, Wang Fang disagreed. Do you know what she used to threaten Liu Qiusheng against the divorce?"
Ruan Qi looked expectant.
Mr. Xi: "Half of the Liu family's wealth!"
"???" Ruan Qi's eyes widened. "The Liu family's wealth is all in Wang Fang's hands? How did she do it?"
Old Master Xi said, "Who knows how she did it? Liu Qiusheng has always been a confused person, otherwise he wouldn't have been manipulated by Wang Fang for so many years. I guess Wang Fang probably took advantage of Liu Qiusheng's inattention and tricked him into signing the property transfer agreement. Who knows what happened? Anyway, half of the Liu family's property is already in her hands."
"After Liu Qiusheng learned about this, he was so angry that he went to the hospital again. But this time, he didn't dare to ask for a divorce. The Liu family has been on the decline for years. If Wang Fang really ran away with half of the Liu family's wealth, the entire family would be completely ruined. So, Liu Qiusheng cowardly endured this."
Ruan Qi: "What about my second cousin? Did he leave the Liu family?"
"without."
"No?!" Ruan Qi was shocked. "Liu Qiusheng has been cuckolded all the way to Siberia, and he's still raising someone else's son? Is he crazy?"
Old Master Xi smiled and shook his head: "He did want to kick your second cousin out, but Wang Fang disagreed."
Ruan Qi: "...But Liu Qiusheng isn't the only one in the Liu family. What about his eldest son and two daughters? Are they just going to watch their father suffer?"
Before Mr. Xi could say anything, Xi Xiaoyun beside him snorted and laughed.
"Xiao Qi, you have no idea how spineless and selfish the younger generation of the Liu family are. They don't care about family ties, they only care about profit. They support whoever has money."
Ruan Qi understood: "...So, Liu Qiusheng's children are interested in Wang Fang's property?"
"That's right." Xi Xiaoyun smiled sarcastically, "Liu Qiusheng's personality is inherently cowardly, and his children have never looked down on him. Now that half of the Liu family's wealth is in Wang Fang's hands, Liu Qiusheng has been sidelined, and those younger generations don't take him seriously anymore. Anyway, it's Liu Qiusheng who's been cuckolded, not them, so why should they worry so much?"
Ruan Qi: “…”
Ruan Qi felt like all his three perspectives were about to be shattered.
She had always thought that although Liu Qiu Sheng was a little selfish, he was raised in a scholarly family after all. No matter how weak his personality was, he should be somewhat similar to Liu Qiuyu in his bones.
