Chapter 386: I Want a Divorce!

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

In this family, if you talk 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 extreme; her vanity was at its peak!

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

Just as he was getting angry, Xiao Changkun suddenly thought of something that didn't seem right.

Ma Lan had always been obsessed with the Tomson First Grade villa. Even before the renovation was finished, she was already thinking about moving in. She even dragged him over several times to check the progress, and at the 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 table for the dining room.

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

So, she was prepared to spend money to buy furniture, and she was very 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, what is the reason you are dead set against buying furniture? Is it because there isn't that much money left at home?"

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

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

"What do you mean?" Ma Lan was panicked but acted annoyed, "Xiao Changkun, are you checking my accounts? Don't you trust me?!"

"Yes!" Xiao Changkun replied firmly and said coldly, "I now seriously suspect that you've created a huge hole in the family's finances! Otherwise, with your personality, you would have been dying to move into Tomson First Grade tonight!"

Ma Lan quibbled, "Stop with your guessing. I'm the one who manages the family money; we agreed on that when we got married. 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 get away with this. If you don't let me see the bank account balance, I'm divorcing you!"

"Divorce?!" Ma Lan exploded and cursed, "Xiao Changkun, you've gotten bold! You want to divorce me! Do you have any conscience? Have you ever thought about how much suffering and grievance I've endured for 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 a dividend of twenty or thirty thousand 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'll 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 gets custody, and it can be settled quickly."

As he spoke, Xiao Changkun glared at Ma Lan and said, "The two million in cash was handed to you for safekeeping. When the time comes, I will sue 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 they really divorced, what kind of good life would she have?

Thinking of this, Ma Lan was instantly a bit intimidated.

She hurriedly softened her tone and said, "Oh husband, why are you so angry! We've been through wind and rain for over twenty years; is it worth it to turn against 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, I will definitely divorce you tomorrow!"

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

One could even say that he never liked Ma Lan in the first place!

He was in love with the school beauty Han Meiqing at the time, but Ma Lan had intervened as a third party. He had always ignored Ma Lan, so Ma Lan came up with that shameless trick: she got him drunk, had relations with him, and then went to tell 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 was devastated after losing Han Meiqing, and thinking of the child, he chose to marry Ma Lan for the sake of the child, leading to these twenty-plus years of miserable and unhappy married life.

Originally, Xiao Changkun had accepted his fate, thinking, *Just live like this, isn't life just a lifetime? What would happen if we divorced? So he hadn't thought about it.

During the last class reunion, after being mocked by everyone, he felt a bit shaken.

Today, Ma Lan's abnormal, shrewish, unreasonable, and irrational behavior had completely made him give up. Now, he couldn't wait to divorce her and get rid of this woman completely!

Ma Lan was truly panicked now.

For so many years, she had oppressed Xiao Changkun, and he had always endured it, never being this determined or tough. So, it was clear that she had really pushed him to the limit!

Although Ma Lan was shrewish, she was actually a paper tiger.

When she was screaming, if the other person slapped her, she would immediately behave;

But if others showed even the slightest sign of fear, she would immediately rush up to bite them.

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

Xiao Churan also spoke up at this time, "Mom, although you manage the money, both Dad and I have the 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 internal 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 questioned, "The money is all gone?! There was over two million, and it's all gone?!"
