Chapter 162 Everything in the house belongs to Dad
He shook his head angrily, "To put it bluntly, it's because I've fed you too much all these years. If you're not full and are hungry, I don't know if you'll still be thinking about this."
Xu Shanshan never expected that Wen Changyu, who had been subservient to her all his life, would one day be so tough. She was so angry that she couldn't speak for a moment. After a long while, she finally managed to utter, "...Fine, fine, so this is your true nature."
"Pah, hypocrite!" she spat at Wen Changyu in anger.
Wen Changyu didn't care, he just stared at her and said, "Xu Shanshan, is this what you call good upbringing from a good family background?"
"Adultery during marriage and murder of your own daughter—is this the upbringing of your Xu family?"
"What you call the inheritance of a large family?"
Xu Shanshan gasped for breath, then suddenly went berserk again, rushing forward to grab and hit Wen Changyu, yelling, "Don't say it! Don't say it! You shameless bastard, you can't say it..."
Wen Changyu indeed said nothing more.
Arguing is never a good thing; it only vents your anger and doesn't get any more out of you. The important thing is to solve the problem.
Wen Changyu grabbed her flailing hands and ruthlessly exposed her again, "I told you what you don't want to hear, you're shameless." He coldly stared at the crazed Xu Shanshan, then asked, "Regarding Zhizhi, should I take you to the nearby police station, or will you go yourself?"
Xu Shanshan suddenly broke free from him, saying, "I'm her biological mother. If I don't like her, what's wrong with leaving her with someone else?"
"I gave birth to this child, and I can treat it however I want. Who can tell me what to do?"
"Can the government control me?"
"Does the state mandate that I must be good to my own children?"
"Why doesn't anyone care about those who were drowned in urinals or smothered to death with blankets?"
After Xu Shanshan finished speaking, she even looked amused and annoyed.
Wen Jinshu couldn't help but say, "Even if the law can't punish you, that guy surnamed Wang won't get away with it."
These words struck at Xu Shanshan's weak spot, and she fell silent instantly.
“He listens to me and is under my command,” Xu Shanshan said loudly.
Wen Jinshu looked at her with disappointment in her eyes. "So what?"
“He is of normal intelligence, in his forties or fifties, and has the capacity for independent civil conduct. Choosing to help you with this kind of thing is illegal and criminal.”
After Wen Jinshu finished speaking, he prepared to leave with his father and younger brother.
Xu Shanshan panicked and grabbed Wen Changyu's sleeve. "...I, it's all my fault. I'm such a terrible person. You...you let Jinghui go. I...I agree to give you half of the savings. No...we can not get a divorce."
Wen Changyu was disgusted by her words. "Xu Shanshan, don't make me look down on you."
Wen Jinshu pressed down on Wen Changyu's hand, saying, "We can let it go, but... all the savings must go to Dad, and that house must also go to Dad. In other words, everything in the house will go to Dad, and you will leave with nothing."
"Otherwise, we will definitely pursue this to the end."
Wen Jinshu's words made Xu Shanshan release Wen Changyu's sleeve. She stared at Wen Jinshu and asked, "Do you hate me that much?"
Wen Jinshu, however, showed no remorse and instead asked, "Don't you hate us too?"
Xu Shanshan fell silent.
Wen Changyu and the others left, and soon someone came and took Xu Shanshan away as well; she also had to cooperate with the investigation.
After leaving the alley, Wen Changyu asked Wen Jinshu, "How can we let that person go?"
“He caused his children to be separated from their families for twenty years, and I must make him suffer enough.”
Wen Jinzhou also said, "We don't care about money. It's true that Zhizhi has suffered for twenty years outside."
Wen Jinshu opened the car door, sat in the back seat first, rubbed her hands together, and smiled at her upright father and younger brother in the snow. "I only said that now that Mom is leaving with nothing, we won't pursue that guy surnamed Wang. I didn't say that we wouldn't pursue it after Mom left with nothing!"
Wen Jinshu's expression turned cold after she finished speaking, "I won't swallow this insult until they suffer a bit more."
His mother was right. The law might not necessarily make her pay any price. After all, she has been paying child support all these years. She can say that she was in poor health, so she found someone to help raise the child. As for why she didn't tell her family, she can say that she was in a bad mental state. In short, she has too many excuses.
She might not actually get a conviction. Considering the costs and the fact that Zhizhi grew up safely, she might get a two-year suspended sentence.
Then she took the money and the house, and used it to support Wen Qianqian and that man...
That's disgusting.
Therefore, the Wen family's money cannot be given to her, not even a single penny.
On the contrary, she has to vomit it up.
After Wang Jinghui was taken to the police station, he confessed everything without much interrogation, but he shifted all the blame onto Xu Shanshan.
He said that Xu Shanshan had a bad relationship with her husband, so she didn't want the child and asked him to help find a family to adopt it.
"I was really just helping a friend out," Wang Jinghui said, her face covered in injuries, breaking down in tears.
“But the Wen family says that the child’s mother fainted on the roadside, which is why the child was lost.” The police officer stared at him.
Wang Jinghui immediately said, "You can call the child's mother, Xu Shanshan, Comrade Xu, over and ask her if it's really as I said." He raised his hand and said, "I swear."
The police officer glanced at him and said, "This is a new society, don't stick to those feudal superstitions."
"Based on your statement, we will summon Comrade Xu."
Fearing that the police would waste time looking for Xu Shanshan, Wang Jinghui quickly told them where Xu Shanshan was staying, and then added, "She might come to me today too. If you can't find her at her place, you can come to my house."
So later, Xu Shanshan was taken to the police station.
Xu Shanshan was indeed good to Wang Jinghui, readily taking all the blame and saying that all of Wang Jinghui's actions were at her behest.
She said, "I almost died when I gave birth to her. I don't like her. I feel disgusted just looking at her, so I can't tolerate her being around me. That's why I thought of giving her away to someone else to raise."
“However, I gave that family money and sent them money every year. I didn’t treat them unfairly.”
Xu Shanshan, as expected of a capitalist's daughter from back then, has seen a bit of the world. With just one sentence, she turned the malicious abandonment of the child into finding someone to raise it.
"Why didn't you tell your family about this?" the police officer asked.
Would they agree if we told them?
"I disagree. Am I supposed to stay trapped in this torment?" Her expression was somewhat deranged. "I'll go crazy. If this goes on for too long, I'll go crazy. I don't know what I'll do then. Am I just supposed to watch myself create a tragedy?"
The police officer glanced at her and said, "We understand what you've said. We will verify the situation further. Please do not leave your place of residence recently and cooperate with our investigation at any time."
"May I leave now?"
"That's fine, as long as you don't leave the area."
"Where is Wang Jinghui?" Xu Shanshan asked again.
“He can’t. We haven’t investigated the follow-up situation yet. We haven’t verified whether things are as you say. We still need to verify whether he is an accomplice or a principal offender. As a suspect, he needs to be detained temporarily.”
"I already told you, I made him do it, I made him do it..."
The police officer said coldly, "Ms. Xu, please calm down and don't interfere with our investigation."
