I'm not asking anything of you anymore. Let's just get a divorce. I don't want anything from you anymore. Consider it my bad luck.
I thought that following him would give me a peaceful life and allow me to escape my old ways, but who would have thought it would lead to another abyss?
"I disagree. If we're going to get a divorce, then you have to give me some compensation."
Who is Zhou Wei? How could he let himself suffer a loss? No matter what, he has to demand a sum of money.
Xu Ling was so angry she laughed. She felt she had been blind before, how could she have fallen for such a man?
"No, how can you be so spineless?"
I didn't ask for anything when I married you, and now that you're all better off, you expect me to give you money? Are you out of your mind? Fine, since that's how it is, I won't drop the case. I'm convinced it was you who secretly filmed me!
Xu Ling originally wanted to come and have a good talk with him, so that they could part ways amicably and treat everything as a dream.
I never expected this person to be so shameless.
"I also hope we can part amicably, but now I'm in this situation, I have nothing left, you can't expect me to be penniless too."
If you really insist that I took these photos without my consent, then I will produce the evidence, and neither of us will be happy.
Why did he even consider divorce in the first place? Wasn't it because Xu Ling promised to give him a home?
Now look what's happened! She thinks she can just pack up and leave? No way!
"Then I'll tell the company everything you've done, and let's see what you do then?"
Xu Ling wasn't without her cards; the two of them were locked in a vicious battle, each holding leverage over the other.
It's fair to say that if the two of them were to truly fight to the death, they would both perish together.
"I don't care. I'm already in this situation anyway, so I'm going to drag you down with me."
Xu Ling gritted her teeth in anger, wondering how she could have ever fallen for such a scoundrel.
Just then, some people arrived; it's unclear how they found this place.
Police officers followed behind those people.
"Alright, you two don't need to argue anymore. Don't worry, neither of you can escape."
The people who came were employees of the company. The company has already investigated and found that the two of them colluded to embezzle a lot of company funds and even carried out some shoddy projects.
The company has now reported the incident to the police, who have taken them away for investigation.
"Excuse me, I don't understand what you mean."
Zhou Wei was convinced that what they had done would be discovered, since they had done it very well and it seemed flawless.
"It's okay if you don't know. Go to the police station and explain it to the police."
Both of them were taken away.
After being taken away, the old lady realized she was missing and cried uncontrollably, lying on the ground and refusing to get up, resorting to crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself.
"Where's my son? Where's my son? Where have you taken my son? Give him back to me right now!"
When Zhou Bu saw this, he had a real headache. This was so different from what he had dreamed. How could it have turned out like this?
In his dream, his father was still very rich and even got a promotion until the very end.
"Grandma, stop making a scene and get up. What's the point of you making a scene here? It's not like the nurse took Dad away."
Zhou Bu was speechless. If crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide were effective, how many people would do that?
"Go find your mom right away and ask her for help."
Then he suddenly realized that his former daughter-in-law could help him.
Zhou Bu shook his head. That's impossible. That mother has gone to some godforsaken place. Let alone help her, we can't even get in touch with her.
"Grandma, it's not that I don't want to contact her, it's that my mom went to a very remote place to support a local hospital."
Forget about contacting them, they only deliver food once a month in that area.
We can't contact him at all now. If we could, he would have run away long ago, okay? Would he still be here?
"What should we do then?"
The old woman was truly desperate now, not knowing what to do. Her eyes were vacant, as if everything in front of her was darkness.
What should she do if she can't get in touch with her precious son?
"If you can't get in touch with him, you need to figure something out. Otherwise, if something happens to your dad, what will you and I do? How will we manage to live our lives?"
Zhou Bu was also very anxious. He didn't know what to do. Fortunately, he had already paid the tuition for the year, but what about the future?
"Grandma, please give me back the bank card my mom gave me."
Zhou Bu realized that he still had the bank card his mother had given him, and the money in it would be all his living expenses from now on; he absolutely could not give it to anyone else.
He's gotten smarter now. He realizes that he can't rely on anyone else, and that he can only rely on himself. He doesn't feel comfortable leaving his money with his grandmother at all.
The old lady never expected her grandson to be so outrageous. Instead of thinking about how to resolve the situation, he came over and asked her for money.
The old lady reached out and slapped the ungrateful wretch several times.
"You heartless little brat, how could you do this? Your father is in trouble now, and all you care about is money, isn't that right?"
Zhou Bu dodged the blows twice, and the old lady couldn't catch him even when she tried to get up.
"Grandma, can you please stop being unreasonable? I need the money so I can find a way to save my dad."
Otherwise, you'll have to figure it out yourself. Go see who can save my dad.
