In normal times, Zhu Miaomiao would be able to point out Zhuang Li’s many shortcomings in a casual recall, such as not understanding romance, not being able to speak, dull personality, etc. But facing these thick bills, she was dumb, scared, and ashamed, so she didn’t even dare to say a word.
After all, she was still a normal person with a normal sense of right and wrong. She knew that her expenses meant disaster for a small family with a medium income.
Look at the disdain on the faces of these lawyers and look at the disgust in the eyes of the policemen. Her reputation appeared to have been tarnished.
Zhu Jianrui was also sensitively aware that the attitude of the people around him towards him had changed. They didn’t say anything, but the disgust in their eyes was so strong.
And he himself knew very well that his hatred for Zhuang Li was extremely unreasonable. Zhuang Li had worked hard to raise him for fourteen years, and the two were not related by blood, so he had no reason to take revenge on him.
But the reality was so cruel. Even if Zhuang Li did nothing, he had already become a mistake that must be corrected for the mother and son.
In order to help his mother successfully marry into the Gong family, Zhu Jianrui must destroy Zhuang Li, and even must make this man disappear from the world forever, and then erase all traces of him.
Such thoughts were vicious and against the law and morality, so he did not dare to speak them openly and could only remain silent.
Zhuang Li nodded and sneered with unknown meaning. He had long known that no one with a heart could give an answer to this question.
There was dead silence in the mediation room. Everyone was re-examining this small hacking case, but they had different ideas. Several lawyers quickly settled the bills and were shocked by Zhu Miaomiao and Zhu Jianrui’s extravagance.
Even though they lived at the bottom of society, Zhuang Li did not let the mother and son suffer at all. What Zhu Miaomiao ate, wore, and used were not only from the best brands, but they were also high-quality products on the market. Zhu Jianrui had received aristocratic education since kindergarten and spent a lot of money every year just to learn various specialties.
In order to allow the mother and son to live the best life, Zhuang Li constantly compressed his living space, all of which was clearly reflected in the expenses that could no longer be saved.
Although they formed a family together, Zhuang Li and Zhu Miaomiao and her son, lived in two completely different worlds: one world was full of hardships and suffering, and the other world was only sunshine and happiness.
This man was so pitiful! The lawyers and policemen shook their heads.
Zhu Miaomiao and Zhu Jianrui seemed to have been publicly executed under their disdainful gazes, and every cell in their bodies was occupied by the feeling of shame.
Gong Xuanlin glared at the mother and son, then looked at Zhuang Li, and said meaningfully: “There are some flowers that look very beautiful and attractive, but because they are too precious, they are not suitable for growing in the barren wild. It can only be carefully cared for in a hothouse.”
Zhuang Li smiled and asked, “You mean, I was not qualified to take care of this mother and child because I am a barren wilderness? Then guess what they would be like now without me? If Zhu Miaomiao had a strong enough character, she might have given birth to the child while working part-time, and then raised him. But she would not be able to find a good job without a degree, and the aristocratic education Zhu Jianrui received would be in vain.”
“He will live with Zhu Miaomiao in the narrowest rental house, eat the cheapest food, receive the most ordinary education, and be ostracized by his peers. I provided him with such a good living environment that he can go on to the next level in the path of crime. Otherwise, in such a bad situation, do you think he would have become a prisoner in a labor camp?”
Zhu Jianrui, who had antisocial personality: “…”
Gong Xuanlin who didn’t know how to argue: “…”
Zhu Miaomiao screamed: “You are a reform-through-labor prisoner! I would not have let Ruirui suffer!”
Zhuang Li glanced at her, and his smile became more and more interesting: “The speculations just now are all based on the premise that Ms. Zhu’s character is strong enough. But please take a good look at this Ms. Zhu. She has nothing to do with the word ‘perseverance’. Does it matter? As Mr. Gong said, she is a precious flower that is only suitable for growing in a greenhouse and cannot withstand the slightest bit of wind or rain.”
“So, the above speculation can be completely invalidated. Without my care, her and Zhu Jianrui’s fate would only be like this: without academic qualifications, unable to find a job, Zhu Miaomiao, who had severed ties with her parents, would keep wandering around outside, and then because of malnutrition or some accident abort the child; or give birth to the child in a public toilet, throw it into the trash can, and let it fend for itself. She can’t even feed herself, do you think she will feed a child?”
Everyone looked at Zhu Miaomiao, and then at the bills with many items only related to luxury enjoyment and couldn’t help but nod in deep agreement.
Even Gong Xuanlin and Zhu Jianrui looked at Zhu Miaomiao with suspicion.
“No, it’s not like that! You’re talking nonsense! Zhuang Li, that’s enough for you, it’s just a divorce, why do you have to say these unfounded words to hurt me! You are still a man, can’t you be more generous?”
“I can’t be generous to trash like you.” Zhuang Li stood up and walked straight to the door, waving his hands without looking back: “After the bill is settled, please pay the compensation into my account, three hundred and twenty million and don’t forget the two million in mental damages. Once I get the money, I will sign the divorce agreement immediately. If you default on the bill, I don’t mind sending this bill to the people across the country for appreciation. Zhu Jianrui, you know, I have this ability.”
He left without looking back, leaving Zhu Miaomiao roaring in shock and anger.
When this man completely stopped loving her, there was such a sharp blade underneath the tenderness he tore apart.
