Chapter 666: Returning a Favor
After receiving Zhang Pei's call, her elderly mother was very happy and shouted to the whole family around her, "Peipei called back!"
There was a noisy sound on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Pei smiled happily, she heard the voices of her father and brothers and sisters. She had been married far away for more than 20 years, and they rarely contacted each other. When she wanted to borrow money, her family gave her the money without hesitation. Although each person only gave her 50,000 yuan, this kind of thought was true family love.
Zhang Pei asked about her parents' health over the phone. Both of them had poor hearing. Her mother handed the phone to her sister, who said, "Manman is a big star now. We have all watched the movies she acted in. How could you raise such an excellent child? We are so envious."
Zhang Pei had no ability to raise a princess. She smiled and said, "She has made great achievements on her own. It has little to do with us as parents."
The elder sister thought Zhang Pei was being modest. She didn't believe that Zhang Pei didn't contribute behind the scenes. She asked again, "Did your family of three take time to come back during the Spring Festival this year? Your brother-in-law should be out, right?"
Zhang Pei had not yet told her family about her divorce, so her sister asked her about it. Now that Zhang Pei has completely moved on from this failed marriage, she said frankly, "Liu Chengyu and I are divorced."
My sister was shocked. "Why are you divorced? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell your family first?"
There was a noise again on the other end of the phone. Apparently, the news was too sudden and the Zhang family was not prepared. In their opinion, the relationship between Zhang Pei and Liu Chengyu was undoubtedly good. They were also very satisfied with Liu Chengyu as their son-in-law. He graduated from a prestigious university, had a stable and decent job, was handsome, and most importantly, was very good to Zhang Pei.
...
...
It was the ridiculous incident of drunk driving and killing someone. Last year, Zhang Pei came back and begged for money everywhere, wasn't it just for Liu Chengyu?
Why did they get divorced out of the blue? Their daughter was still so successful and it was time for her to enjoy her life.
Zhang Pei's family doesn't know that Zhang Pei now has her own career. In their impression, Zhang Pei is still an incompetent woman who relies on her husband for support.
"It's a long story. Just assume that he and I have different views," Zhang Pei couldn't explain, nor did he want to explain.
The elder sister was stunned for a moment. She felt that there was an indescribable strength in Zhang Pei's tone. "So you are raising your daughter alone now?"
"No, Manman and I live our own lives, and she has her own life," Zhang Pei believes that the way she and Liu Man get along is more like friends, partners, and an equal and independent relationship.
The elder sister couldn't understand this kind of relationship. She asked in confusion, "Why do you seem like a different person?"
Zhang Pei smiled and said, "My daughter is so outstanding. If I am a bad mother, wouldn't I be holding her back? It would be embarrassing for her."
"So what you mean is that Liu Chengyu brought shame to Manman?"
"Yes," Zhang Pei said without hesitation this time, "Liu Chengyu's existence is a stain on my daughter. He still doesn't know how to improve himself and is stubborn. Naturally, I can't live with him anymore."
At this point, Zhang Pei smiled and said, "It's New Year's Day, I don't want to mention this person, it will spoil the fun. I'm calling to wish our parents, you and your brother a happy new year. I just transferred 200,000 yuan to you through Alipay, 50,000 yuan each for you and your brother, and 50,000 yuan each for our parents."
My sister immediately opened Alipay and actually saw an income of 200,000 yuan. Last year, Zhang Pei did borrow 50,000 yuan from each of them, but she had already paid it back.
The elder sister was shocked. Two hundred thousand was a lot of money for them. "Pepe, do you have a memory problem? You have already paid us back the money."
"No, no, this money has nothing to do with the money I lent you last year. This is my Spring Festival red envelope for you."
My sister was stunned.
Zhang Pei is a grateful person. She is grateful to them for extending a helping hand to her when she was in the most difficult and helpless time. Two hundred thousand yuan may not seem like a lot now, but at that time, ten thousand yuan could have overwhelmed her.
