Liu Siyue hadn't even processed the news when Lin Wanyi's phone call came in again.
Two minutes later, she grabbed her bag and rushed out the door.
Su Jing wanted to follow her, but she said, "Mom, don't worry about me. I'm going to find Wanyi."
When she arrived, Tang Guixiang was still hurling abuse at Chen Hui:
"You little tramp! I gave birth to you and raised you, what right do you have to disobey me?
"Let alone a house, even if I wanted your life, you should give it to me unconditionally."
Liu Siyue couldn't listen to this anymore. She stepped in front of Chen Hui:
"Old woman, watch your mouth! You chose to give birth to Chen Hui, you had your fun and brought her into this world.
"It's not like she begged you to be born. What's with the moral kidnapping?
"Giving birth to her and raising her is your responsibility as parents. Stop acting like you bestowed some massive favor upon her.
"I've never seen such disgusting parents in my entire life. To put it bluntly, you don't even deserve to be a mother."
Tang Guixiang never expected to be scolded by a little girl. How could she accept this:
"None of your damn business! Who the hell are you?
"I'm teaching my daughter a lesson, why are you interfering? You clearly lack proper upbringing. Get the hell out of here and stop being an eyesore."
Liu Siyue didn't leave. Instead, she took out a house purchase contract and slammed it in front of Tang Guixiang:
"Open your eyes, old thing. This is my purchase contract. This house is mine.
"What are you doing in my house? Who allowed you to come here?
"Tell me, who should be getting the hell out now?"
Tang Guixiang stared at the contract, and Chen Qiang even stopped playing his video game.
Both of them looked at Liu Siyue: "Who... who exactly are you? Isn't this Lin Jiajun's house? How is it yours now?"
A second later, Tang Guixiang pointed at Lin Jiajun as if she had a sudden realization:
"Oh, I get it now. Lin Jiajun, you deceived my daughter, didn't you?
"You lied and told her this house was yours to trick her into marrying you.
"Liar! Lin Jiajun, you are a liar!"
"Mom!"
Chen Qiang tugged at her clothes: "Mom, don't panic. This apartment isn't Lin Jiajun's, but he has another one!
"Even though it's a bit small, I don't mind. I can use that one for my marriage."
Tang Guixiang suddenly remembered and slapped her forehead:
"Right, right, right! How could I forget about that house?
"I saw the property deed for that one myself! Lin Jiajun, give that house to my son. Take him to transfer the ownership right this instant."
Lin Jiajun shielded Chen Hui:
"Impossible. Don't even think about it. I'll say it again: my house will never be given to Chen Qiang."
"Why not?"
Chen Qiang flew into a rage: "Why can you let Lin Wanyi live there but not me?
"She's your sister, and I'm Chen Hui's brother! Why the double standard?"
Tang Guixiang was equally indignant:
"Exactly! Chen Hui, are you an idiot? That's a house for the two of you. If Lin Jiajun can give it to his sister, why can't you give it to your brother?
"Is there water in your brain?"
Lin Wanyi suddenly felt incredibly guilty. In the end, she had still brought trouble to Lin Jiajun.
She immediately said, "Auntie, rest assured, I won't live in their house.
"I'm still living at my mom's place right now."
"Pfft!"
Tang Guixiang didn't listen to her at all;
"What do you mean your mom's place? She's old, her house belongs to Lin Jiajun and Chen Hui now.
"At the end of the day, you're still living in my daughter's house. Do you have no shame?
"Lin Wanyi, let me ask you, does a divorced sister-in-law living in her brother and sister-in-law's house have any shame?
"If it were me, I would have taken that little burden and died a long time ago!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Lin Jiajun was furious, and Chen Hui stomped her foot;
"Mom, how can you be so vicious? It wasn't my eldest sister's fault that she got divorced. How can you say such things?"
"Why can't I say it? I'll say it again: divorced women are not good women.
"They deserve to be looked down upon and spat on. She feels wronged? What is there to feel wronged about?
"As the saying goes, marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Marriage is for a lifetime. Yet she divorces and comes back to snatch my son's house. Bah, cheap tramp!"
Lin Jiajun was truly furious. He knew exactly what kind of life Lin Wanyi had been living.
He knew her divorce was absolutely not her fault.
He couldn't let Tang Guixiang insult Lin Wanyi like this.
He grabbed Tang Guixiang's clothes and shoved her toward the door:
"Get out, get out right now. From now on, you are not welcome in our home.
"Don't ever appear in front of me again."
Tang Guixiang shrieked: "Chen Hui, Chen Hui, do you see this?
"He's treating your mother like this, and you can actually tolerate it?
"He dares to treat me like this today, tomorrow he'll dare to treat you the same way. Do you still dare to marry a man like this?"
Lin Wanyi was terrified. After all, this was Chen Hui's mother.
Blood is thicker than water.
She hurriedly went to pull Lin Jiajun away: "Let go, Jiajun, let go. Don't be impulsive."
Just as Lin Jiajun let go, Chen Hui continued pushing Tang Guixiang out:
"Mom, I'm an adult. Stop trying to control me. All the money I earned over the past few years is in your hands, and I don't want a single cent of it back.
"Consider it repayment for giving birth to me and raising me. Mom, from now on, don't come looking for me."
"You!"
Tang Guixiang flew into a towering rage:
"Fine, very fine indeed! I'd like to see how you manage to get married without your maiden family.
"I won't attend your wedding, and we'll see how you show your face then. Don't come begging me to attend."
She finally pulled Chen Qiang and left.
Chen Hui looked at Lin Wanyi apologetically:
"Eldest Sister, I'm so sorry. Please don't take what they said to heart.
"You can live in that house, stay as long as you like."
Lin Jiajun said the same thing, but Lin Wanyi didn't think that way.
She planned to use the money she had on hand to buy a small two-bedroom apartment and move out with Wang Keke.
Paying a down payment was still manageable.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Lin Jiajun and Chen Hui, she just didn't want to make things difficult for them.
Liu Siyue said: "Jiajun, Huizi, let's go transfer the house to your names right now.
"Let's not delay it any longer."
Chen Hui shook her head: "No, you saw how my mom was. If she finds out you transferred it to me, she will definitely squat here every day and refuse to leave.
"Siyue, just keep it under your name. It's not like you'd kick me out."
Liu Siyue grew anxious: "How could I? This house is a gift from my mom to you guys, it just hasn't been transferred yet.
"It is your house."
She thought for a moment and added: "Anyway, you can transfer it anytime. I'm going to head back first. Let's keep in touch by phone."
She walked very fast. When Su Jing saw her rushing back, she thought something major had happened:
"What's wrong? Yueyue, what's wrong?"
Liu Siyue said urgently: "Mom, when you bought a house for Jiajun, why didn't you think of Sister Wanyi?"
"Ah, what's wrong with her?" Su Jing didn't understand.
After Liu Siyue recounted everything in detail, Su Jing slapped her thigh in regret:
"Oh my, look at my brain. At the time, I only thought about Jiajun needing a house for his wedding. How did I not realize that Wanyi returning after a divorce would be even harder?
"Yueyue, come with mom. Buying a house is no big deal at all."
Liu Siyue jumped up and gave Su Jing a big hug, but the very next second, Qin Chao suddenly appeared right in front of her:
"Liu Siyue, you would buy a house for someone completely irrelevant to you, but what about me?
"I am your boyfriend. When are you going to buy me a luxury car and a mansion?"
