Chapter 101 I've never spent any money on my ex-wife
Before Yu Yan could say anything, Xiang Chu grabbed Xiang Jingheng's hand and said, "I don't want to!"
He refused decisively and thoroughly.
The previous "little monkey" incident not only hurt Yu Yan, but also caused psychological trauma to Xiang Chu.
He didn't want to do something wrong again for no reason, get locked in a dark room by his father, and be treated coldly by her as if he wanted to live with her.
Although she's a pretty good cook...
But it's not worth it for a few meals.
Why not?
Xiang Jingheng bowed to Xiang Chu and said, "Your mother is a PhD. She can help you with your homework. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask her."
"I don't want to!" Xiang Chu's face was full of rejection. "If I don't understand something, I can ask the teacher. I don't need her!"
"Be good..."
"I don't want to..."
Xiang Jingheng kept pushing Xiang Chu toward Yu Yan, and Xiang Chu kept snuggling into his arms. Their tug-of-war at the school gate attracted a lot of attention.
Yu Yan and Shao Yun both looked terrible, their expressions extremely cold.
"Xiang Jingheng".
Yu Yan called out in a deep voice, "Xiang Chu kept saying she didn't want to, didn't you hear her?"
Xiang Jingheng was stunned, looking at Yu Yan, whose face was ashen, in astonishment, "I did it for you..."
"Don't say it's for me."
Yu Yan coldly interrupted him, "Did you ask the child's opinion before you asked Xiang Chu to come with me? Did you discuss it with me? You didn't ask anyone and just made the decision unilaterally, regardless of whether Xiang Chu was willing or not, or whether it was convenient for me. Xiang Chu kept saying he didn't want to come with me, you have ears, but did you listen?"
Xiang Jingheng: "I..."
"You are always so self-centered, only thinking about yourself and never caring about other people's feelings."
Yu Yan: "Are you the sun? Do we all have to revolve around you?"
Xiang Jingheng was speechless.
Xiang Chu was stunned, both in her eyes and in her ears.
He could almost see Yu Yan carrying an Italian cannon and bombarding his father...
Yu Yan was truly fed up with Xiang Jingheng's autocratic behavior. He had never truly looked at her as an equal, and he didn't understand what respect meant. It was as if she had married him and would always be his appendage.
He could do whatever he wanted with her, treating her no differently than a subordinate. At least subordinates get paid, but in his eyes, she was nothing more than a free nanny.
Oh, it also needs to function as a tutor, helping children with their homework.
While saying "Your mother is a PhD," what Xiang Jingheng really meant was, "Since you are a PhD, you should take on the responsibility of tutoring the children. Why not take advantage of it?"
Xiang Jingheng is like a walking calculator; he's really good at scheming.
The abacus beads were practically jumping off her face.
After Yu Yan left with Shao Yun, Xiang Jingheng stood there for a long time, not realizing what he had done.
The phone vibrated, temporarily interrupting Xiang Jingheng's thoughts. He took out his phone and saw that it was Gan Xiaoxing calling.
Xiang Jingheng hung up the phone without any expression.
"Let's go home."
Xiang Jingheng got Xiang Chu into the car, and his phone rang again. It was Gan Xiaoxing again, and Xiang Jingheng hung up once more.
Looking at her, Xiang Chu couldn't help but ask, "Dad, why didn't you answer your godmother's call? Maybe she had something urgent to do."
What could possibly be wrong with her? Every time she calls, it's never good news.
The phone rang again just as he had hung up. It was a relentless barrage of calls. Xiang Jingheng frowned in annoyance, suddenly remembering that he had done the same thing to Yu Yan not long ago.
...until Yu Yan blocked his contact information.
It seems that doing this is quite troublesome. Only when it happened to him did Xiang Jingheng try to put himself in Yu Yan's shoes.
Under Xiang Chu's watchful gaze, Xiang Jingheng still answered the phone, "I'm driving, we can talk about it later."
"Stop lying, you just don't want to answer my call, do you?"
Gan Xiaoxing instantly saw through Xiang Jingheng's lewdness, not caring whether he was being suggestive or not, and immediately launched into a tirade:
"Xiang Jingheng, what do you mean now? Are you really going to break off our friendship? You want to disband our team, kick me out of the research lab, and let Mei Nan take over? Fine, I can make sacrifices to save the research lab, I agree. But aren't you going too far in burning me down? You're not even including me in the projects anymore, and I'm not getting any dividends. Why should I?"
"On what grounds?"
Xiang Jingheng sat in the driver's seat, and because he was afraid that arguing with Gan Xiaoxing would frighten Xiang Chu, he specially put on a Bluetooth headset, but his voice still couldn't hide its coldness.
"Just because I've supported the research lab for five years, and I've supported you for five years too. Gan Xiaoxing, since we started working together, I've poured 500 million yuan into the research lab over these five years. Tell me, how much of that have you helped me earn back?"
Gan Xiaoxing immediately became anxious upon hearing this, "Xiang Jingheng, are you talking to me about money?"
"You were the one who brought it up first."
Xiang Jingheng was unwilling to argue with Gan Xiaoxing about interests and money, as it would hurt their feelings. He didn't have any true friends to begin with, and Gan Xiaoxing was the only "friend" who had stayed by his side all these years.
Outsiders described their relationship as "soulmates," saying that Gan Xiaoxing was his confidante, and Xiang Jingheng once thought so too.
Even if he and Gan Xiaoxing couldn't reach the level of soulmates, they were at least confidants.
True friends are hard to find. Xiang Jingheng has given Gan Xiaoxing a level of tolerance that he has never given to anyone else, and even Yu Yan has never enjoyed such favoritism.
But what did it all amount to in the end? Nothing but a heartless and cruel person.
"Gan Xiaoxing, the villa you live in now, the swimming pool, the exquisite and luxurious life, half of it was given by your parents, and half of it was given by me."
Xiang Jingheng gave a sneer, "I've never spent this much money on my ex-wife."
Xiang Chu sat in the back seat, dumbfounded, listening.
Although he didn't know what his godmother said on the other end of the phone, he could sense his father's displeasure. He had never heard his father speak to his godmother so harshly before.
And...did Dad pay for Godmother's house?
But when he went to his godmother's house and exclaimed with wide eyes, "The house is so big and beautiful," his godmother said that she had worked hard to earn the money to buy the house, and that's what she told her fans during her live stream.
Xiang Chu lowered her eyelashes and suddenly remembered when she lived with Yu Yan, it was a very small house with narrow stairs.
Her father didn't give her any money, and she didn't take anything with her when they divorced.
There were only a few old clothes in the suitcase.
Grandma said, "She should leave with nothing. She shouldn't even think about taking a single penny. She hasn't contributed anything to this family, so why should she take Jingheng's property? She's dreaming!"
Xiang Chu pursed his lips. He felt vaguely uncomfortable, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
Then I heard my father say, "You made such a mess of the research lab, and then you just walked away. Mei Nan and I had to clean up the mess for you, and we still have to support you. I want to ask you, why should we?"
"I've said it before, once you leave the lab, this lab has absolutely nothing to do with you anymore. Projects and profits are all yours. And don't go looking for trouble with Mei Nan, don't you dare pick on the weak!"
Xiang Jingheng cursed, took off his headphones, and hung up the phone.
When Xiang Chu heard her godmother crying on the other end of the phone, she was startled and looked up.
Xiang Jingheng turned around and looked at his son's pale face, then touched him. "Did I scare you?"
Xiang Chu's eyes reddened, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Dad, are you and Godmother not getting along? Is Godmother like her, abandoning me too?"
