The worst guess was confirmed. Xia Chenggang really did not disappoint her "expectations" of him. Not only did he leave, he also took away all the money in the family.
There were only a few useless empty shells left in the safe.
Su Jinru still didn't believe it and frantically called various parties to confirm. Facts slapped her in the face again and again - Xia Chenggang transferred all the property without her knowledge and did not leave her a single cent.
Over the years, all the savings that the old lady and she had earned from running the restaurant were gone.
Su Jinru sat on the ground like a deflated hydrogen balloon, her eyes completely lifeless.

No one in the family could sleep, and they lost their appetite after eating a few bites of the food they bought.
The families of the injured workers called from time to time, crying, swearing, and cursing in emotional breakdown, and finally asked them when the compensation would be deposited into their accounts. They wanted to pay 3.5 million yuan, not a penny less.

She didn't speak, and the person on the other end of the phone was also silent.
Xia Xi was sure that there was someone over there because she heard breathing sounds. She competed with the person opposite to see who would lose patience first.
After a long moment, a familiar voice rang out from the receiver, tinged with fatigue and pain: "Jinru, it's me."
It’s Xia Chenggang.
Xia Xi dug his nails into the flesh of his palms, suppressing the urge to curse. His throat rolled, and the veins on his neck were throbbing, with a deep dent in the middle of his collarbone.
