ATBLM [QT] Chapter 118.1

Shu Xiaoyun’s previous prediction was as expected, the Jiang family really had something wrong.

That evening, after dinner, Jiang Rui was walking in a small park near Lotus Street when she was suddenly stopped by a middle-aged man.

This person is Jiang Lei, Shu Manman’s biological father. He should be around forty years old, but he looked much older than Shu Xiaoyun. He was looking at Jiang Rui with a look of love and excitement.

“Manman, I’m your father. Don’t you remember me?”

The exaggerated and deliberate demeanor made Jiang Rui frown, but she said nothing.

“Your mother is so cruel. She took you away for six years. Manman, Dad and Grandma miss you very much.” Jiang Lei continued to play the cheap emotional card.

Jiang Rui did not want to waste time on this kind of person. She wanted to solve the problem once and for all, so she said, “If you talk here, Mom may see you. Let’s go over there.” She pointed to a small bamboo forest.

“Okay.” Seeing that she had been fooled, Jiang Lei felt proud.

If he said that he has never thought about his ex-wife and daughter in these years, it is naturally false. After all, she is his own child. But how could that little miss compare to his desire for a son?

It was only now, when he fell hard on another woman, that he remembered the goodness of Shu Xiaoyun again. More importantly, Shu Xiaoyun had an old house in her hands.

He got news from elsewhere that this area would likely be demolished in two years, and the amount of compensation would be at least up to seven digits. What would these two women do with so much money?

There is also the possibility of being defrauded by others. As their ex-husband and father, of course, he has the obligation to take good care of the money for them.

And he chose to approach his daughter first, rather than Shu Xiaoyun because she was younger and easier to coax. Sure enough, after only saying a few words, she felt soft.

Jiang Lei almost laughed out loud as he imagined the carefree life after getting the money.

At that time, if Shu Xiaoyun is willing to give him another son, he will generously let her stay in the Jiang family. If she is not willing, huh, anyway, a yellow-faced woman can go wherever she likes. With money, is he afraid that no young and beautiful woman will be willing to follow him?

As for this daughter…

He originally thought that she would not live long, but he did not expect that she would grow up to such a big age and look pretty good. Jiang Lei looked at her as if he was seeing a large sum of money as a gift.

The two of them walked into the small bamboo forest one after another. Jiang Rui moved her fingers slightly to set up a barrier around it so that others could not see or hear the movement here, and then she slowly turned around.

Jiang Lei did not notice anything strange at all and continued his performance: “Dad didn’t want to get divorced back then. But your mother didn’t know why she insisted on divorce and took you away. You don’t know how much Dad misses you—”

“But, I don’t miss you at all.” Jiang Rui interrupted him coldly.

Jiang Lei paused and just thought it was a child having a tantrum and did not take it seriously. For the sake of the seven-digit demolition money, he now has unprecedented patience for both Shu Xiaoyun and his daughter whom he doesn’t love very much.

“Dad knows that you are angry with Dad. It’s my fault that I haven’t come to see you for so many years. Tell me, how can you forgive me?”

“I heard that you have always wanted to have a son?” Jiang Rui asked without answering.

Jiang Lei hurriedly said: “Dad wants to give you a younger brother, but you don’t know that Dad is doing this all for you. You said that you, a girl, will get married in the future and you will not have a single brother in your natal family. What will you do if you are bullied? Having a brother can support you in the future.”

Jiang Rui nodded and said, “Then, I have to thank you for considering me.”

Jiang Lei was overjoyed and was about to speak when he heard her say again: “But, I don’t want any younger brothers. If you want to get my forgiveness, why don’t you cut off your descendants?”

Jiang Lei was stunned for a moment and then became angry.

Throughout his life, he first hated Shu Xiaoyun for not giving him a son, and then he hated his new wife for cuckolding him.

Because of his two failed marriages, some people in the neighborhood were secretly teasing him, saying that he had no chance of giving birth to a son and that the Jiang family would end in his lifetime.

This has become a taboo for him. Anyone who dares to mention it will be resented by him. His daughter was already dispensable in his eyes. The coaxing he had just done was just for the sake of money. How could he tolerate her being so presumptuous?

“You—” Jiang Lei’s face suddenly became ferocious. He waved his hand to hit her, but halfway out, he found that he could not move.

He struggled hard, but his whole body was like an evil spirit. Only his eyes could move. He was confused at first, then fearful. When he saw the girl in front of him, he said viciously: “What are you looking at?! Why don’t you call someone to help me!”

Jiang Rui clapped her hands as if she were in ashes and said slowly: “Why call someone else? I can help you. I promised you to cut off your descendants, how can I not do it?”

Doesn’t his family have a throne to inherit? Then, she will let him be a eunuch and guard the throne for the rest of his life.

“What are you going to do? You little bitch, you lose money! You have the same virtue as your filthy mother!” Jiang Lei struggled hard, and the unknown fear made him curse.
