Chapter 228 Go back home
Ruan Dejun's heart trembled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously: "Did the Xiao family ask you to say this? Were you sent by the Xiao family?"
His voice was weak, and the arrogance he had just shown was long gone.
Peng Chengxuan said nothing.
In fact, he never mentioned this to the Xiao family. It was all a lie he made up.
He knew in his heart that people like Ruan Dejun only cared about fists and backing, and never cared about reason.
Presenting facts to him is like talking to a cow.
Fortunately, he checked the details before setting off and knew what these two people were most afraid of.
That child is their only hope for the rest of their lives, and their only capital to stand tall among their neighbors.
As long as they grasp this point, they will have to bow their heads.
He didn't say anything, and Ruan Dejun took it as his consent.
Seeing Peng Chengxuan's stern expression but never denying his relationship with the Xiao family, Ruan Dejun felt cold sweat sliding down his back.
He originally thought that this was just an ordinary farce, but he didn't expect that the matter would involve the Xiao family, a well-known and wealthy family in Beijing.
The Xiao family has connections in both worlds, and they can crush low-level families like them with just a flick of their fingers.
He dared to yell at Ruan Chuxia, but when facing the Xiao family, he didn't even dare to breathe.
What's more, the other party used his most precious son as a handle.
Ruan Tianyu is his last face and the only way out for his family.
Xie Guihua's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she could barely stand. "You...what on earth do you want to do? Don't touch Tianyu, he's innocent! He's never caused any trouble and has always been a good soldier! Please, don't hurt him..."
Her voice trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.
She was not afraid of being scolded or beaten, but the child was innocent and her life must not be ruined because of their mistakes.
Peng Chengxuan took a step forward and stared at them coldly, "Are you scared now? What were you doing before?"
Every time he took a step forward, Ruan Dejun took half a step back.
"If you know what's good for you, go back home right away, don't embarrass yourself in Beijing, and don't bother Ruan Chuxia anymore."
"You pretended to be affectionate in front of Ruan Chuxia, but you cheated her out of money, ruined her reputation, and made her clean up your messes time and time again. Are you worthy of being parents?"
"otherwise……"
He paused deliberately, looked around at the two of them, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say anything else.
Ruan Dejun opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Ruan Dejun gritted his teeth and wanted to say a few more words, but when he thought of his son in the army, he swallowed the words back.
He knew that now was not the time to show off.
He lowered his head and pleaded softly, "Then...then tell me, what should we do?"
"It's simple. Leave Jing City immediately and never show up again."
Peng Chengxuan's tone was cold and emotionless. "Your presence will only bring trouble to Ruan Chuxia. From today on, you are not allowed to pretend to be her parents, you are not allowed to appear in her life, and you are not allowed to use her name to deceive others."
"Also, stop using Ruan Chuxia's name to make money."
"I know you've already scammed a few relatives, saying Ruan Chuxia had become wealthy and you were going to help them start businesses. They believed you, and ended up losing all their money. Do you really think no one's investigating?"
"Otherwise, your son's life will be miserable."
He staggered and his face turned pale in an instant.
Ruan Dejun was completely terrified. He nodded quickly, his voice trembling, "Let's go! Let's go now! Please don't touch Tianyu... We will never come again, and we won't dare to do it again..."
After saying that, he grabbed Xie Guihua and ran out.
He knew that he was really doomed this time and dared not take any chances anymore.
Xie Guihua didn't dare to resist and let him drag her.
She wanted to defend herself and say that they were also trying to survive, but now, she couldn't say a word.
Only after we had walked a long way out of the alley did she tremble and ask, "We are penniless now, where are we going?"
They couldn't even afford a ticket back home, let alone settle down.
Ruan Dejun gritted his teeth, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and finally whispered: "Chen Shuang mentioned the address of the Jiang family last time, let's go to her place!"
He knew that his daughter had married into the Jiang family. Although she had never been invited to visit, he secretly wrote down the address.
Now I have no other choice but to ask my daughter for help.
Xie Guihua became anxious when she heard this and shook her head directly, "I won't go!"
She took two steps back and said, "Are you crazy? How can we meet the Jiang family in this state?"
Not to mention that Ruan Dejun was smelling bad now, even if he was clean, she wouldn't dare to go.
She knew very well that her daughter was the young lady of the Jiang family. She had a car to drive, lived in a big house, and was surrounded by rich and noble people.
And what about them?
He was so poor that he didn't even have a decent piece of clothing.
This visit was not to recognize the relationship, but to slap the daughter in the face.
My daughter is the young lady of the Jiang family.
What is the background of the Chiang family?
They were a famous family in Beijing, with extensive connections and deep influence. Even local officials had to show them respect.
And what are they?
A country bumpkin who can't even touch the doorstep.
If I really go there, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get past the doorman, let alone help.
Wouldn’t going to the house just be a slap in the face to my daughter?
The more Xie Guihua thought about it, the more scared she became, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
Seeing Ruan Dejun's face becoming more and more ugly:
"How about...we stay at the station for the night and figure out a solution tomorrow? We should also write a letter to Tianyu so he doesn't worry..."
"How about... let's go find Ruan Chuxia and try again?"
When Ruan Dejun heard what Xie Guihua said, he immediately stopped.
"Are you crazy? You just got scolded, and it's only been a few hours, and you've already forgotten the pain? The Xiao family has shown up in person, and you think they're just decorations? You still dare to go find Ruan Chuxia? Do you want to die? Or do you think the beating wasn't severe enough and want another beating?"
Xie Guihua didn't take it seriously, and curled her lips, "You're stupid, I tell you, the Xiao family must be busy right now, how could they have time to deal with such a small matter as ours? After all, she is your own daughter, and blood is thicker than water. Maybe when she sees you like this, her heart will soften and she will give you the money."
"Even if she's really willing to give it to you, don't go!"
Ruan Dejun waved his hand fiercely, "This matter is non-negotiable. Don't think that you can get away with it just by bowing your head. Ruan Chuxia is now the young mistress of the Xiao family, and her status is different."
"Why?"
Xie Guihua gritted her teeth, her face flushed. "Why wouldn't you let her go? We worked so hard to raise her, and now she's married into the Xiao family, living in a big house, eating delicacies from land and sea, and living a good life. She's planning to kick us both out? How could it be so easy? I have to ask her face to face! Ask her if she still has a conscience! If she dares to say she wants to sever ties with me, I'll expose her true colors. I want to see if the Xiao family is still willing to keep her! And if they can still let her be the young lady!"
"Even if you're married, you can't deny your debts!"
