Chapter 109 Divorce is possible, but I can't give you the money.
Wen Xin and Wen Yu's words were like a bucket of ice water poured into Deng Xiuzhen's heart on a freezing winter day, making her heart curl up and clench into a ball, unable to breathe.
Perhaps they were simply attracted by the so-called superior life, or blinded by money.
It's understandable to be blinded by money and yearn for a better life. But for a child to look down on their mother because of money and a so-called better life, that child is probably a born ingrate.
Having lived two lives, Deng Xiuzhen knew that people who were blinded by money could not be won back with emotions, but could only be bought off with money.
She didn't want to use money to win them back; she'd rather give up on a child like that.
It's not that she's heartless, but rather that feelings that can be bought with money aren't true feelings. They might be close to you today because of money, but they could betray you tomorrow for the same reason.
Qin Yanlin looked at Deng Xiuzhen with a victor's smile on his lips.
Looking at his smug, self-satisfied face, Deng Xiuzhen was utterly disappointed. She truly didn't want this man anymore.
"Let's get a divorce!" Deng Xiuzhen said calmly, though she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"Divorce?" Qin Yanlin chuckled disdainfully. "Did you give the money to Qi Guomin and now you're short of cash and want to use this excuse to ask for more? Let me tell you, my company is also having cash flow problems lately. Ask for money? No way!"
“Mom, how could you give money to someone else when Dad’s company is struggling to make ends meet? Why are you always siding with outsiders? Can’t you think about the family? Can’t you help the family?” Wen Yu said excitedly.
Ignoring Wen Yu's questioning, Deng Xiuzhen looked at Qin Yanlin and said, "Qin Yanlin, I'm telling the truth. I don't want your money. Let's get a divorce!"
"You! You're completely unreasonable!" Qin Yanlin's face turned cold. He wasn't afraid of divorce, but deep down he wasn't really willing. He didn't understand why himself; he just didn't want a divorce, and the mere mention of it made him irritable.
“Dad, just divorce her. Look at her, she always has this long face on her face. Isn’t it because you always give in to her? Don’t give in to her. The more you give in to her, the more arrogant she becomes!” Wenxin quickly interjected. She wasn’t in a hurry for her parents to divorce; in fact, she was somewhat looking forward to it.
Recently, she made some friends who were all very fashionable and generous. In comparison, she felt like a poor country girl, rustic and shabby, and couldn't hold her head up high.
She had heard that many of her friends' parents were divorced, and their stepmothers treated them very well. Even those who weren't divorced, because of the presence of mistresses, were content to be housewives, keeping a low profile. None of them dared to argue with their husbands, dared not discipline their children, or even raise their voices at them.
Not only do they not force their children to study, they also do not restrict their spending. They can eat whatever they want, wear whatever they want, and if they want to go out, they only need to call home to let them know. They have achieved complete freedom of money and time.
Aunt Tian bought her several fashionable clothes, as well as scarves and jewelry, all carefully selected by Aunt Tian. If she could wear them out, they would definitely dazzle those stray dogs!
However, as long as Deng Xiuzhen was around, she never had the chance to wear it.
Deng Xiuzhen just keeps forcing her to study! What's the point of studying? Isn't it to live a better life?
Now that the family is wealthy, Deng Xiuzhen is forcing them to live a hard life. How can they endure this?
"Dad, get a divorce already! Mom doesn't earn a penny, all she does is nag us, and she's always running off to Kyoto. She doesn't care what we do at home." Wen Yu also supported his parents' divorce; he didn't think as much as Wen Xin. He only knew his family was wealthy after spending more time with Qin Yanlin.
Qin Yanlin told him: The company will be his in the future, and when he grows up, he can become the big boss!
He could be a boss right away, so why would he bother studying?
Then he stopped studying altogether, and his grades plummeted. The teacher said he would call his parents, but he was afraid that Deng Xiuzhen would scold him if she found out.
If his parents divorce, he can stay with his father and won't get scolded.
"And you?" Deng Xiuzhen looked at Wenjing and asked softly.
"Mom," Wenjing hesitated for a moment. She didn't want her parents to divorce, but she could sense that her mother was unhappy.
Between her mother's happiness and the family reunion, she felt that her mother's happiness was more important.
She made a careful decision: "Mom, if you want a divorce, then go ahead and get one. I'll stay with you. Even if we don't have money, I can rely on myself!"
"I'll go with Dad!" Wen Yu quickly declared.
“I’ll go with Dad too.” Wenxin’s eyes darted away, avoiding Deng Xiuzhen’s gaze.
Deng Xiuzhen's gaze swept over the three children's faces several times before she asked, "Have you made your choice? Are you sure you don't want to change it?"
"Yes, absolutely not!" Wen Yu was the first to speak up again.
"I'll stay with Dad, no matter what." Wenxin lowered her head, her eyes darting around.
"Mom, I'll stay with you. Don't worry, I can take care of you." Wenjing looked at Deng Xiuzhen and nodded with a smile.
“Remember your choices. No matter what happens in the future, you will have to bear all the consequences yourself. You can’t blame anyone else!” Deng Xiuzhen said to her three children.
"We know," the three children answered in unison.
"And you? Have you made up your mind yet?" Deng Xiuzhen looked at Qin Yanlin with sarcasm.
"Divorce is fine, but I won't give you the money!" Qin Yanlin said angrily.
"Yes, I don't want your company, and I don't want your company's money either!" Deng Xiuzhen said calmly.
"How will you make a living in the future?" Qin Yanlin felt helpless.
"You don't need to worry about that. Many people are doing just fine without you, and I can do just fine too!"
Hearing Deng Xiuzhen's words, Qin Yanlin felt even more suffocated. He angrily shouted, "The children want to live in this house, but I can't give it to you!"
“Okay, we’ll go and complete the formalities tomorrow. Once they’re done, I’ll move out.” Deng Xiuzhen agreed without any argument.
Qin Yanlin pursed his lips, paced around in frustration, glared at Deng Xiuzhen, then turned and left without saying goodbye or staying together, and without even glancing at the children.
Wen Xin and Wen Yu realized what was happening and chased after him outside, but Qin Yanlin had already disappeared into the dark night.
They looked back at Deng Xiuzhen, somewhat anxious, wondering if their mother would punish them.
They were soon relieved, because Deng Xiuzhen completely ignored their presence.
However, they didn't dare to act recklessly. They quickly washed up and went to bed, waiting for their father to come and divorce their mother at dawn, and then their mother would move out. Only then would they truly be free.
They didn't consider at all that their parents wouldn't get divorced tomorrow, after all, Aunt Tian was young, beautiful, smart and capable, better than their mother in every way.
In their opinion, anyone with a brain would choose Aunt Tian, given the choice between the two.
