Chapter 146: 078 Justice (First Shift)
Translator: 549690339
The black car stopped in the Zhus’ yard.
A business Mercedes, low-key and luxurious, this was Zhu Wentao’s car.
Uncle Wen was surprised and immediately went forward to greet him: “Sir, you’re finally back.”
The word ‘finally’ carried some spirit.
Zhu Wentao, dressed neatly, got out of the car and said to Uncle Wen, “There are some nutritional supplements I bought for mom in the trunk, please take them out.”
Uncle Wen hurriedly went to open the trunk.
Zhu Wentao adjusted his collar, picked up his briefcase, and walked into the Zhus’ living room.
“Tell him to take his things and get out! I don’t have this son!” Granny Zhu’s angry voice came from the bedroom.
Madam Zhou persuaded, “Sir, you’d better avoid her for now. The old madam doesn’t want to see you.”
Han Suwen hid in the kitchen and took a sneaky peek.
The Zhu family’s situation was even more complicated than she thought.
Ming Ti and Ming Chen hid upstairs with Ming. Hearing the commotion downstairs, Ming Chen asked, “Should we call Ming Jing?”
Ming Jing was at her competition class, and according to the schedule, she wouldn’t be home for another half an hour.
Ming Ti took out his cell phone and called Ming Jing, but no one answered.
“She might be in class.”
Ming Ti said, “Let’s not leave the room.”
Zhu Xiangxiang didn’t go to her competition class today. She had no face to show there. Hearing the noise downstairs, she came down. “Dad?” Zhu Xiangxiang cried and threw herself at him.
“Are you going to abandon me and mom?
Zhu Wentao had sincerely loved this daughter, and even though it was later proven that there was no blood relation, his love was genuine. He gently patted Zhu Xiangxiang’s back: “How did you do on your final exams?”
As soon as he asked about her grades, Zhu Xiangxiang’s body stiffened up.
“It… It’s okay, I guess.”
She quickly changed the subject: “Dad, you’re not leaving again this time, are you?”
Zhu Wentao looked at his daughter’s hopeful eyes, and his lips moved slightly,
“Where’s your mom?”
“Mom hasn’t been feeling well lately. She’s resting upstairs. She’ll be happy to know you’re back,” Xiangxiang said excitedly as she ran upstairs.
Soon, Zhu Xiangxiang helped Lin Qing downstairs.
Compared to her usual glamorous and proud appearance, she looked like a frostbitten eggplant, wilted and exhausted, with downcast eyes. If it weren’t for Zhu Xiangxiang supporting her, she could hardly walk.
Zhu Wentao frowned. After all, they had been husband and wife for 20 years, having weathered storms together. Seeing her like this, his heart softened a bit, but when he thought of the delicate beauty and the unborn child, his heart instantly hardened again.
“You never come back without a reason, so tell me, what do you want?” Lin Qing uttered this sentence as if it took a lot of effort, then bent over with a cough and sat down on the sofa.
“What happened to you…?”
“Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not dead yet,” Lin Qing said irritably.
Seeing her impervious demeanor, Zhu Wentao didn’t bother to pretend anymore. Getting sick wasn’t something people could control, and it had notnlng to ao witn mm.
He took out two documents, “Let’s get a divorce.”
Lin Qing’s pupils suddenly constricted, and her hands tightly grasped the sofa cushions.
“Dad!” Zhu Xiangxiang cried out in disbelief, “Don’t do it! Don’t divorce mom!” Zhu Xiangxiang rushed over and knelt at his feet, crying heartbreakingly.
Zhu Wentao touched her hair: “Xiangxiang, I’m helpless too. Do you want to follow your mom or me? You choose.”
Zhu Xiangxiang looked back at Lin Qing, “I don’t want to follow anyone, I just want my mom and dad.”
Zhu Wentao saw Lin Qing’s silence and said, “As for the division of property and child custody, it’s all written in the agreement. If you have no objection, just sign it.”
Lin Qing picked up the agreement and examined it carefully, because she wanted to see how shameless this man could be.
As expected, she had underestimated his shamelessness.
“You want the child, and you want me to leave empty-handed? Zhu Wentao, have you no shame?” Lin Qing threw the agreement in his face.
“You’re so eager to divorce me, is it because your mistress is pregnant, and you want me to make way for you? Let me tell you, unless I die, she’ll always be a mistress, and her child will always be illegitimate!”
Zhu Wentao picked up the agreement and looked at her, “I’ve already left you the shares and some real estate. Are you still not satisfied?”
“Hahaha, you’re such a ridiculous man! I supported you when we started with nothing. In the hardest times, we ate steamed bread and pickles for a month. When you were running out of money, I took out my family heirloom dowry to tide you over. When you were sick and bedridden, I stayed up all night taking care of you with my swollen belly, which caused my child to be born prematurely and swapped by others..”</p
