Guan Lian was trembling with anger. She had finally managed to bring her two children here to start a new life, and if her mother-in-law came, she would definitely not let it go.
However, she also knew that the more she acted as if she didn't want her mother-in-law to come, the more Chen Wei would feel like he was controlling her.
"Okay, let us know in advance when she's coming. Remember to find her a guesthouse in the city. Our textile factory has a rule that outsiders can't come in."
If she really comes, I'll let my two children come out to see her.
Her words "outsiders" pierced Chen Wei's heart. After living under the same roof for nearly 20 years, she now casually called them outsiders. How come he never knew she was so heartless?
Aunt Tian threw the shovel on the ground with a loud thud, almost hitting Chen Wei's foot. He quickly took a step back and bumped into the guardhouse shelf.
Coward!
"Comrade Guan is right. After all, the child is your family's child. Of course you can come to visit if you want, but there is no place for you to stay in our village."
If she finds out, I'll take a broom and throw them all out.
"There are many guesthouses in the city, but you are both a father and a mother, so you should bring something for the two children when you come here. It's not easy for Comrade Guan to take care of two children by himself. From what you're saying, you used to give all your salary to your mother."
Aunt Tian paused here, giving Chen Wei a meaningful look, which Chen Wei avoided.
"You yourself said that the children are not just Comrade Guan's children. As their father, you also need to pay for their tuition and living expenses. Don't let them rely on Xiao Guan to support them like before. What use are you as their father then?"
Aunt Tian's eyes were full of disdain, as if she thought it was better to replace it since it was useless.
Chen Wei clenched his fists, finally unable to contain his anger, "This is our family matter, what business is it of yours!"
He had long disliked these people. They had nothing to do with him, yet they all loved to meddle in other people's business, especially that young woman. No wonder she kept trying to get him to take the train back today; it turned out she knew Guan Lian.
He had been blocking her way for a while; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was going to attack them.
"Aunt Tian is right. I used to support both children on my own salary. If you want to acknowledge them as your parents, you'll have to pay me!"
“You you you!”
Guan Lian must have been corrupted by them. She's obsessed with money. What do you mean she's supported by her salary? They're a family, doesn't she spend his money too?
"If we don't resolve this issue today, I'm going to see your manager. I refuse to believe they won't take responsibility!"
He still thought this was the neighborhood committee office where their old factory used to be located. They were usually willing to compromise and smooth things over. But this was a textile factory, and they had already gotten their divorce certificate!
"Do whatever you want. The divorce certificate has already been issued. If you come and harass me again, I'll report you to the police for indecent assault!"
After Guan Lian finished speaking, a wave of pleasure suddenly welled up in her heart. It turned out that even if he came, nothing could be changed. She and her parents had gone to great lengths to keep it a secret from the Chen family, always afraid that they would come looking for them.
It seemed like it would disrupt her peaceful life, but after Chen Wei stood there, Guan Lian realized, in a fit of extreme anger, that getting a clean divorce back then was a very good thing.
Moreover, the leaders and colleagues in the textile factory were all on her side. As long as they couldn't get into the factory, she wasn't afraid even if Chen Wei brought the two of them to live at the entrance of the textile factory. She was even willing to come out every day to see the joke.
With her firm stance, Chen Wei had no choice but to be angry. The place was full of people, and he was alone and unfamiliar with the area, so he didn't dare to make a move.
Even if she showed weakness, it was no use; Guan Lian's heart hardened.
Aunt Tian was watching him intently, ready to slap him if he dared to say anything more. Song Qing was also very wary, and the security guards kept scrutinizing him.
Everyone here is standing with Guan Lian; he has no chance at all.
"Ah Lian, I was wrong before. I apologize to you. I shouldn't have misunderstood you. We've had such a long-standing relationship..."
Guan Lian suddenly laughed. She was acutely aware of the man's cowardice and helplessness. Everything he was doing now seemed ridiculous to her.
Chen Wei swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue under her gaze, feeling like a clown being stripped naked and put on trial by these people.
"Fine, since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too. I'm taking a child with me!"
