Chapter 10:
It turns out that Chen Jianguo and his son took all the company's funds and fled the country, leaving my mother and Chen Siyue with debts and a mess to deal with.
It wasn't until the creditors came knocking at the door that my mother and sister realized their dreams of living abroad and living a comfortable life were shattered.
My mother is now under surveillance in the Chen family villa, completely devoid of freedom.
When the court ruling comes down, she won't even have a place to live and will be left to wander the streets.
Chen Siyue had a miscarriage and severe bleeding while trying to escape.
She is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
I am still at my grandmother's house.
My mother is frantically sending messages, hoping that someone will take her in after the house is seized.
But every relative is avoiding her.
It is said that the debts left behind by Chen Jianguo amount to more than sixty million, far surpassing the value of the Chen family villa.
Those creditors cannot find Chen Jianguo and his son, so they keep harassing my mother.
[I really regret it! I should have brought Chu Yi with me initially.
I spoiled that child Siyue and let her ruin the well-established company!].
My mother still can't see the reality and is trying to cover it up.
My aunt bluntly retorted, [Do some good deeds! You let your own daughter sell herself, and you are still defending that scumbag!].
My other aunt chimed in, [If it wasn't for Siyue, would the Chens have been able to recover so much money? They saw the company failing and used you to escape!].
My mother angrily replied, [Watch your mouth! The child Siyue is carrying is my stepson's, and they are planning to get married! What do you know!].
My aunt couldn't be bullied easily and replied, [Wang Juan, are you blind? Siyue's appearance, speech, and behavior over the past six months resemble that of a prostitute! She must have slept with countless men! You wretched woman, you couldn't see through people and ruined Siyue's life! If I were you, I would jump into a river and drown myself!].
My other aunt bombarded with exclamation marks and declared, [Let me make this clear, Wang Juan, if you dare to set foot in my house, I will break your legs! Second uncle, stop pretending to be dead! Come out and speak!].
The group chat was filled with chaos, and I quietly exited.
After booking tickets to Jing City, Chen Siyue wanted to meet me.
She is currently recuperating in the hospital, weak and frail, as if she has lost half of her life.
I thought she would have realized the truth, but as soon as we met, she desperately interrogated me, "Lin Chuyi, explain to me clearly! Why is the Chen family different from the past? Weren't they rich later on? Tell me!" I stood tall and looked down at her from the bedside and said, "Because they have me." She didn't believe it and shook her head vigorously, "That's impossible, I tried my best too! I'm good at drinking and the clients liked me.
I brought back a lot of money!" I looked at her with pity and said, "Did you use your body?" "Sheng Ge said he didn't mind.
He had been abroad and as long as there was money, he would take care of me!"
"We went abroad, and no one recognized us!" Chen Siyue suddenly burst out laughing, pointing at me and said, "Weren't you like this in your past life too? That's why you can't have children, and you've been played around with, right?" I sat calmly on the edge of the bed and told her a fact: "Do you know why I married Chen Dongsheng?" Chen Siyue looked at me intensely.
"I was harassed by someone at a dinner table, and he fought for me." "Impossible!" she shouted.
"Later, he injured himself and ordered Chen Jianguo to hand over the company to me, and then he prepared to jump off the building and commit suicide." "Lin Chuyi, you're lying! Brother Sheng never cared about anyone, he's not that kind of person!" My eyes dimmed slightly.
"Yes, I know he was just acting, but he dared to." That day, he was hanging in mid-air on the tall building, facing the wind, and said softly, "Chuyi, I can probably understand the feeling you had when you stabbed the knife into my pillow that night.
I ask you, were you trying to scare me, or did you really dare to kill me?" I replied, "If you dare to resist, I will." He turned back and smiled at me, "If you leave me, I will really jump." We were both gambling on our future fate.
That night, I won the bet.
This time, he won the bet.
The beginning of Chen Dongsheng and I was destined to be a struggle, evenly matched.
But Chen Siyue, from the beginning, placed herself in the position of being played around with.
"Chen Siyue, do you still think that I rely on my mom and Chen Dongsheng?" In my life, I rely not on choices, and I don't even have the right to choose.
No matter what path is given to me, the only thing I can rely on is the courage and effort to break free from the darkness.
Chen Siyue doesn't understand that it's not life that fails, but people.
