After the two elders left, Xue Hailin looked up and spoke to Wen Qian: "Wen Qian, you know what's going on at home. It's best for you to take Xiao Kai away now."
"I'll prepare some money for you. We all have to go out to do some business tomorrow. Find the right opportunity to take Xiao Kai away secretly and find a place to settle down first."
"The turmoil in the Xue family is temporary. My second brother will not sit idly by and watch the Xue family be destroyed. He will stabilize all these things, but it will take some time."
"Take Xiaokai and hide from the limelight first. When the Xue family is stable in the future, you can bring the child back."
Wen Qian didn't care about the future. She just wanted to take her son away from here. She nodded and said, "Okay."
"Xiao Kai, listen to your mother. Dad will come to pick you up later." Xue Hailin loved his youngest son a little and reached out to touch his head.
"Gurgle..."
At this moment, Xue Kai's stomach rumbled.
Wen Qian was actually already hungry, so she took the opportunity to make a request: "Give us something to eat, and bring me some medicine."
Xue Hailin felt a little bit sorry to see her being beaten like this, but he said nothing and turned around to get his things.
Soon, Xue Hailin brought food and medicine, two hundred yuan in cash receipts, and a five thousand yuan stub. He also prepared simple luggage for Wen Qian and her son.
"I have a lot of troubles to deal with at work tomorrow, so I can't come to see you off. Take the child and leave. Be careful on the road. Don't use Wen Qian's name or the fake ID I made for you in the future."
Wen Qian nodded, and for the sake of their relationship over the years, she also reminded him, "Take care of yourself."
Xue Hailin felt a little touched, but thinking about his work, future, and the glory of the Xue family, that little bit of emotion was quickly suppressed, and he turned around and left without hesitation.
Wen Qian pulled the corners of her mouth that were aching, hot tears slid down her cheeks, and she felt a little regretful in her heart.
After the mother and son finished eating, she applied medicine on herself, then closed the door. Ignoring what was happening outside, the mother and son lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
They fell asleep, but the others couldn't sleep and were discussing things in the study.
It was not until the second half of the night that the Xue family members returned to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, as soon as Gong Linglong arrived at the office, she heard her colleagues talking about the Xue family.
She was a little surprised to learn that Peng Yuni and her son had both resigned from their jobs this morning and divorced Xue Hailin due to marital discord. "Li Xuan, is this information reliable?"
"Reliable. My cousin works in the same department as Xue Weiqi. He saw Xue Weiqi submit his resignation and leave with his personal belongings early in the morning."
"The divorce between Vice Mayor Xue and Director Peng was handled personally by Director Xiao."
"I heard that Deputy Mayor Xue didn't want a divorce and was trying to persuade him when he came to handle the paperwork, but Director Peng was adamant. He kept crying the entire time about how the Xue elders were too much, saying they only blamed her for any family problems. It was clearly her brother-in-law and his wife who knowingly broke the law and did something wrong, yet they pushed all the responsibility onto her. Life is unbearable for them."
In the end, Peng Yuni gave Xue Hailin face and did not tell him about his extramarital affairs. She filed for divorce on the grounds of family disharmony.
"I heard that last night, Mr. Peng and his two sons went to the Xue family. Mr. Peng had an argument with the two elders of the Xue family and took Director Peng and her daughter away on the spot. He also made Xue Sisi change her name to Peng and made her the granddaughter of the Peng family."
Gong Linglong had long guessed that something would happen when the two elders of the Xue family came over, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this. This was very different from what she had expected, and she always felt that something was wrong.
"By the way, didn't that mother and son live in the Xue family? What's their situation now?" Gong Linglong continued to inquire.
They didn't receive much information about Wen Qian and her son, but they were sure that Mrs. Xue had beaten Wen Qian last night, and that the mother and son were still living in the Xue family.
Bai Shuixian had come to the city with her today. She stayed in her space, waiting for her daughter to come in and tell her the news outside. She frowned and said, "What is the Xue family planning? Xue Hailin and Peng Yuni are getting divorced at this time, but they're leaving Wen Qian and her son at home. Doesn't this make outsiders even more suspicious?"
"It was Peng Yuni who insisted on getting a divorce. The Peng family also interfered. Peng Yuni was quite resolute, and it seemed that their three children also supported the divorce."
"I've heard for a long time that although the old man of the Peng family has retired, he is still very powerful. He must have sensed something unusual from recent events and was afraid of being implicated by the Xue family, so he made the quick decision to let them divorce." Gong Linglong analyzed and guessed.
Bai Shuixian thought it was possible, and after pondering for a while, she confirmed: "Even if they divorce, Xue Hailin will not marry Wen Qian, nor will he allow the child to recognize his ancestral home. He will definitely not allow the mother and child to affect the reputation and future of the Xue family."
"Mom, do you think they will do something cruel in secret?" Gong Linglong made a gesture towards her neck.
"I don't know much about the other members of the Xue family, but Xue Haihui is a ruthless man. He's definitely capable of doing it. But the Xue family is being targeted right now, so they probably won't make a move at this critical juncture. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."
With the Xue family's current power, they don't need to show up themselves to deal with one or two people. They just need to pay some hard work fees, and there are countless desperate people who will work for them.
Wen Qian, who was being talked about by them, was still at Xue's house. The mother and son had slept last night, had taken medicine on their bodies, and had just made some food in the kitchen to fill their stomachs. At this time, their physical strength and spirits had recovered a little.
At this time, the mother and son were hiding behind the back door of the Xue family. Wen Qian was paying attention to the movements outside. When she saw the neighbors on both sides carrying baskets to buy vegetables, she immediately opened the door and slipped away with her son.
Not long after they left, Xue Sisi came back. She also went to school to apply for suspension today. After completing the procedures, she came back to get some things.
As soon as she returned home, she saw that Wen Qian and her son had run away, the coal stove in the kitchen had been used, and there was unfinished porridge on the chopping board. Xue Sisi kicked the coal stove angrily and left angrily.
She didn't see the kick at all, and the spark hit the kindling next to her.
It was a hot summer day, and the weather was dry. A spark quickly ignited, and soon the fire swept through the kitchen, and also the storage room at the back where a lot of miscellaneous items and old furniture were stored, as well as the study and bedroom.
Today is a weekday. The people living around here are all cadres' families, most of whom are dual-income earners. The adults have gone to work and the children have gone to school. Only the elderly in each family are at home.
It was morning again. The old ladies in each family went out to buy groceries, and the old men went for a walk. By the time everyone discovered it, the raging fire had covered half of the Xue family's house.
After Xue Hailin completed the divorce procedures with Peng Yuni in the morning, he went to Xue Haiping's house with his parents and two sons. They had just said a few words to Xue Haiping's children when they received a call from Peng Yuni, informing them that there was a fire in the house. They immediately rode their bicycles and rushed home.
When they returned home, the fire had been put out. Neighbors on both sides helped to put out the fire with water.
However, as soon as the Xue family returned home, they were immediately surrounded by people from the Public Security Bureau.
