Chapter 386

Although Xiao Changkun was spineless, he was definitely not a fool.

In this family, if we're talking about vanity, both he and his wife Ma Lan had it.

However, Ma Lan's vanity was at least ten thousand times stronger than his!

Ma Lan was a typical person who cared about face to the point of extreme vanity!

Now she actually had the nerve to call him vain? This old woman really didn't know what shame was!

While angry, Xiao Changkun suddenly thought of something that didn't seem right.

Ma Lan had always been obsessed with the Tang Chen Yi Pin villa. Even before the renovation was finished, she was already thinking about moving in, and even dragged him over several times to check the progress. At that time, Ma Lan herself had planned what kind of sofa to buy for the living room, what kind of bed for the bedroom, and what kind of dining table for the dining room.

In other words, Ma Lan had never thought that Wang Zhenggang would provide furniture.

Therefore, she was prepared to spend money to buy furniture and was already impatient to move in.

But why, now that the villa was almost finished and it was time to buy furniture and move in, was she dead set against spending money?

There must be something fishy about this!

So, Xiao Changkun asked coldly, "Ma Lan, you are dead set against buying furniture, what is the reason? Is it because there isn't that much money left at home?"

Ma Lan said in a panic, "No, it's not. I just want to save some money. Churan's startup might need money, how can we spend all our money on enjoyment?"

Xiao Changkun frowned and blurted out, "Come, come, open your mobile banking, let me see the balance!"

"What do you mean?" Ma Lan was panicked, but pretended to be angry and said, "Xiao Changkun, you want to check my accounts? Do you not trust me?!"

"Yes!" Xiao Changkun answered firmly and said coldly, "I now seriously suspect that you've created a huge hole in the family's finances! Otherwise, given your personality, you would have been dying to move into Tang Chen Yi Pin tonight!"

Ma Lan argued, "Stop with your calculating. It was agreed when we got married that I would manage the family's money. What right do you have to check my accounts?!"

Seeing Ma Lan acting like a complete rogue, Xiao Changkun immediately guessed that something must be wrong with the money. He said with extreme seriousness, "Ma Lan, don't think you can fool your way through this time. If you don't let me see the bank account balance, I'm divorcing you!"

"Divorce?!" Ma Lan exploded and blurted out, "Xiao Changkun, you've become quite something, haven't you! Talking about divorcing me! Do you have any conscience? Have you ever thought about how much suffering I've endured and how many grievances I've swallowed following you all these years? Back then, I was pregnant before marriage, how many people pointed fingers behind my back? Have you forgotten all that?"

"I haven't forgotten," Xiao Changkun said, "That's why I've always accommodated you and tolerated you, and it's the same now. However, I just want to know how much money is left in the family. Don't forget, I'm also a part of this family, and I've contributed quite a bit of income to this family! Before I fell out with my mother and the Xiao Group went downhill, I had twenty or thirty thousand in dividends every month!"

Ma Lan snorted, "Don't give me that. In this family, I'm the one who manages the money, you have no right to ask!"

Xiao Changkun gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! You're going to be stubborn to the end, right? Good! In that case, let's sign a divorce agreement tomorrow. I have nothing left to say to you!"

"You dare!"

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Xiao Changkun shouted coldly, "I'm telling you! I'm going to find a lawyer tomorrow! I mean what I say! Anyway, there's nothing worth dividing in this family, just two million in savings and one house. The child is grown and married, so there's no issue of who the child goes to, it can be settled very quickly."

As he spoke, Xiao Changkun glared at Ma Lan and said, "The two million in cash was entrusted to you for safekeeping. When the time comes, I will sue directly in court and demand half of it. If you can't produce it, you will be held legally responsible!"

"You..." Ma Lan really didn't expect that this old guy Xiao Changkun would be so heartless!

He wanted to divorce her and divide the property? If he really sued her, what would she do?

She was old now and had no money. If she really got divorced, what kind of good life would she have?

Thinking of this, Ma Lan instantly lost her nerve.

She hurriedly softened her tone and said, "Oh husband, why are you so angry! We've walked through wind and rain for over twenty years, is it worth it to fall out with me now?"

Xiao Changkun said seriously, "I just want to know how much money is left in the family. If you refuse to disclose it, then I will definitely divorce you tomorrow!"

In fact, Xiao Changkun had long been fed up with Ma Lan.

It could even be said that he never liked Ma Lan in the first place!

He was in love with the school beauty Han Meiqing back then, but Ma Lan was the third party who intervened. He kept ignoring Ma Lan, so Ma Lan came up with that shameless trick, getting him drunk first, having a relationship with him, and then telling Han Meiqing, causing Han Meiqing to break up with him in extreme pain.

It was also Ma Lan's luck that she got pregnant that one time, so she used the child to force Xiao Changkun to marry her.

Xiao Changkun had lost Han Meiqing and was devastated. Thinking of Ma Lan being pregnant with his child, he chose to marry her for the sake of the child, and thus had these twenty-plus years of miserable and unhappy married life.

Originally, Xiao Changkun had accepted his fate, thinking, just live like this, isn't a lifetime just living? What would happen if I got divorced? So he didn't have that thought.

During the last class reunion, after being mocked by everyone, his heart was a bit shaken.

Today, Ma Lan's abnormal, shrewish, irrational, and unreasonable behavior had completely made him give up. Now he was dying to divorce her and get rid of this woman completely!

Ma Lan was truly panicked now.

For so many years, she had been oppressing Xiao Changkun, and Xiao Changkun had always endured it and had never been so determined and tough. So it was clear that she had really angered him!

Although Ma Lan was a shrew, she was actually just a paper tiger.

When she was howling, if the other party slapped her, she would immediately behave;

But if others showed even a hint of fear, she would immediately rush up to bite them.

So, seeing that Xiao Changkun was truly angry, she was genuinely afraid in her heart.

Xiao Churan also spoke up at this time, "Mom, although you manage the money, both Dad and I have the qualification and right to know the family's financial situation. Since Dad wants to see the specific balance, just open your mobile banking and let him see it!"

Ma Lan bit her lip, her inner defenses completely collapsed.

She looked at Xiao Changkun evasively, gathered her courage, and whispered, "The money... is all gone..."

"What the hell?" Xiao Changkun exploded instantly and blurted out, "The money is all gone?! There was over two million, and it's all gone?!"
