Chapter 550: Roll Back to Your Hometown
Not only was she beaten up and suffered great physical harm, but now that she was being threatened, her spirit had suffered a critical blow; Luo Cuihua was truly beyond tears.
She could only vent her anger on her own husband.
"Wu Xiaode, if you're a man who pees standing up, then handle your daughter for me; are you trying to force me to my death?"
Challenged on whether he was a man, Wu Xiaode could hardly endure it and shouted, "Yue'er, do you still have me as your father in your eyes? Apologize to your mother immediately. No matter what, Cuihua has raised you for so many years; one must know how to be grateful."
"Pah! This shrew is not my mother, and you are not my father. The moment you refused to pay my tuition and forced me to marry, I considered you dead."
As if struck in a sore spot, Wu Yueer roared back, "Do you think I'm still that little girl you can manipulate? This lady doesn't rely on you anymore. As for money, you won't get a single cent. If I give it to a beggar on the street, they would at least thank me; giving it to you would only be like a snake trying to swallow an elephant with insatiable greed."
"You... you..." Wu Xiaode was trembling with rage.
He even had the heart to slap this unfilial daughter to death.
"No matter what, I am your father. I raised you from a small child and spent so much money; isn't it only right for you to repay me? Since ancient times, honoring one's parents has been a matter of course."
Shen Yan spoke up to interrupt: "You can't say it like that. According to Article 1067 of the Civil Code, only parents who are under sixty years of age and lack the ability to work or are in financial difficulty have the right to demand support fees from their adult children.
You are in good health and haven't reached the point of not having food to eat, so Wu Yueer has the right to refuse support. Besides, you're a grown man; how are you not ashamed to ask a student for money? If I were you, I would have found a block of tofu to smash my head against long ago."
Hahaha!
The crowd couldn't help but snicker.
Indeed, if a piece of tofu could kill you, it would mean you deserved it.
Seeing Shen Yan rattle off legal articles with such ease, everyone sincerely admired this man; talent is something innate, and Shen Yan is a monster among monsters.
"Did you hear that? This lady has no obligation to support you now. Tuck your tail between your legs and roll back to Shenyang." Wu Yueer triumphantly lifted her chin at Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode and Luo Cuihua's complexions were extremely ugly; judging by the other party's tone, they probably weren't lying.
Could it be that they were to return in defeat just like this?
Both of them were unwilling to accept it.
At first, when they saw Wu Yueer's advertisement photo on Taobao, they only assumed she had a little wealth and held the mentality of grabbing whatever they could, but after actually arriving in Hangzhou and asking around, both of their jaws nearly dropped.
My heavens!
Wu Yueer had actually opened a milk tea shop on Gourmet Street, and business was booming, making money hand over fist.
Consequently, their greed surged like water gushing from a well, bubbling up endlessly.
Wu Xiaode gritted his teeth and said in a threatening tone, "Girl, I don't want much, 300,000. Give me the money and I'll leave immediately, otherwise I'll loiter in your shop and go make a scene at your school from time to time; let's see how you can study in peace."
Once these words were spoken, everyone present felt anger rise in their hearts.
They had never seen such shameless people; their worldview was about to be shattered, and they had the urge to beat the two of them up.
Wu Yueer was so angry she gritted her teeth, tears threatening to fall; only at this moment did she truly understand what it meant when they say it's easy to avoid the King of Hell but hard to deal with the little demons.
"Damn it! I really wish I could just shoot you dead."
Chen Zhen, who had a military background, hated evil with a passion and couldn't help but give Wu Xiaode a kick.
This kick landed squarely in the abdomen, and Wu Xiaode lay on the ground for a long while unable to catch his breath.
"Don't worry, it's fine!" Shen Yan gently patted Wu Yueer's shoulder, then looked at Wu Xiaode and said with resounding force: "Go ahead and make a scene. When the time comes, I'll bring in a group of media reporters, film the ugly faces of you two, and let the people of the whole country get a good look at you.
When you're being pointed at by everyone every day, let's see how you'll be able to stay in your hometown.
Besides, I'll send people to follow you; no matter where you run, we'll give you a thorough 'promotion'."
Eek!
Wu Xiaode and Luo Cuihua turned deathly pale, looking at Shen Yan as if he were a devil.
Damn! How could this guy be so ruthless? This is trying to drive people to their deaths.
"Who are you trying to scare? Do you have that much power?" Luo Cuihua forced herself to be tough.
Chen Zhen raised an eyebrow and said provocatively, "If you don't believe me, you can try."
Luo Cuihua and Wu Xiaode really wanted to say 'let's try then', but they truly didn't have the guts. These two were dressed in suits and leather shoes, and their every gesture carried an indescribable aura; they were clearly not ordinary people.
They were just commoners; how could they afford to provoke such figures?
Shen Yan saw at a glance that the two opposite him were scared out of their wits and finally delivered the ultimatum: "You have thirty seconds to leave here. Don't bother Wu Yueer again, or I'll call people."
There was a moment of silence at the scene.
As time ticked away, under Shen Yan's watery gaze, the pressure on Wu Xiaode and Luo Cuihua grew greater and greater; afterwards, they didn't even dare to utter a harsh word and vanished in a flash.
Shen Yan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Before long, the milk tea shop resumed operations, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.
Wu Yueer said thank you to Lin Yang; Lin Yang's expression was somewhat complex, he waved his hand, turned, and walked away. Shen Yan had Chen Zhen go back first, and he drove Wu Yueer home himself.
He applied a wet towel to her face to soothe it.
"Hiss!"
Wu Yueer looked in the mirror in the bathroom and raised her hand to touch her cheek; the burning pain extinguished the pleasure she had felt from having her revenge.
"That damn Luo Cuihua hit so hard; I should have slapped her a few more times."
Thinking of the pig-head face Luo Cuihua had when she left, Shen Yan shook his head speechlessly.
Women really are creatures that hold grudges.
The next second, the aggrieved-looking Wu Yueer leaned close to Shen Yan, pouted, and acted like a spoiled child: "Give me a kiss; it'll definitely be ten thousand times more effective than a cold compress."
Shen Yan touched her little head and, as requested, left a kiss on that flawless face.
Moving inch by inch, his actions were incomparably gentle.
Gradually melting Wu Yueer's wounded heart. She tilted her head, and her red lips stuck to Shen Yan's mouth like a magnet.
The breath from the tips of their noses reminded Shen Yan every moment.
Beneath Huniu's tough exterior hid a soul that needed care.
After a long while, their lips parted. Wu Yueer snuggled into Shen Yan's warm embrace and said with full attachment: "Hubby, you were simply dashing tonight, just like a hero stepping on colorful clouds to save me. I've wanted to teach that shrew a lesson for a long time.
This fight was satisfying; the breath that had been stuck in my heart for so many years can finally be released."
"It's only right; if you feel that isn't enough to vent your anger, I'll find people to deal with them again." Shen Yan buried his head in Wu Yueer's beautiful hair, inhaling the fragrance of a young woman.
This fragrance seemed to possess a kind of magic, slowly drawing the exhaustion out of his body bit by bit.
Where the heart finds peace, there is home.
