Chapter 648: Chapter 646: Kind Father 25
Under the account of influencer Shuangshuang, the video about Wei Yue was overwhelmingly viral, thanks to Mrs. Toma, attracting a constant flow of onlookers. In such controversial videos, the comment section is the most exciting part.
So just after Ah Chen left that comment, many people saw it, and the onlookers were taken aback. What does it mean?
Is Wei Yue the sick girl in the video?
Then who is this Ran Chen who left the comment? Soon, those who didn’t know found out—she’s the daughter in the mother-daughter duo criticized by netizens.
After interviewing, influencer Shuangshuang quickly edited the video, also noticing that someone had screen recorded it and it was gaining heat. Naturally, she didn’t want to miss the buzz and edited the video quickly in the car.
However, she never expected that although she gained attention, this incident would also completely shut down her path as an influencer.
The number of comments under Ah Chen’s post grew, with some people cursing her, some just watching the drama, and others being more rational.
Although netizens are easily misled, when something seems off, many can quickly realize it.
Initially, it’s not like Ah Chen and Zhuo Qiaoqing did anything morally outrageous. If this matter hadn’t been hyped up by influencer Shuangshuang, it would have been just ordinary family conflict between them and Ran Zhengfeng.
"If it weren’t for this screenshot, I wouldn’t have noticed the phone costs eight to nine thousand. It’s the high-end model, and the top-end version would be over ten thousand."
"Isn’t this girl asking for donations? Yet, she uses such an expensive phone? Smells like gossip."
"If the phone belongs to Wei Yue, then she shouldn’t need donations, right? But if it’s Ran Chen’s, then the situation becomes very interesting."
"Hmm, a philanthropist who takes her daughter’s birthday gift to give to others, being kicked out by that mother and daughter duo seems understandable."
"Yeah, who knows how many similar incidents have happened?"
"Maybe it’s a diversion tactic."
"Anyway, Ran Zhengfeng genuinely helps the orphanage kids."
"In any case, taking your daughter’s birthday gift to give to someone else’s kid is intolerable to anyone. This can’t be justified. Holy saints sacrifice themselves, but sacrificing others isn’t holy; it’s being shamelessly generous with other people’s things."
"Are you sure this is Ran Chen? Are you sure what the other party said is true? Maybe Ran Zhengfeng bought the phone for Wei Yue because she’s ill. But Ran Chen also wanted it and got jealous, which is why she said that."
"Damn! Go quickly check Zhuo Qiaoqing’s ledger, it’s displayed in reverse. What did I see? I saw that last month Zhuo Qiaoqing bought a phone for over nine thousand, with proof of purchase! It’s said there’s over ten years of records, and we’ve just seen the beginning."
"Not only that, check out her article! It’s incredible."
The ledger published on Zhuo Qiaoqing’s account, along with her long article, pushed this matter to its peak.
Of course, the account couldn’t store so many records, so she showcased some to draw attention. The complete records were in a cloud drive, with a download link and code shared on her account. She marked all the proofs and transfer records in detail.
At first glance, downloaders subconsciously felt that Zhuo Qiaoqing’s side of the story seemed more credible.
Especially after reading that article, many could feel Zhuo Qiaoqing’s grievances. Some words left a deep impression on them:
Ran Zhengfeng said I always argued with him about the orphanage and that girl, claiming I didn’t support him. But if I didn’t support him, would he have been able to not contribute a single penny to our household after being married for over a decade? His salary isn’t low, with bonuses too, yet he’s never brought a single cent home. Aside from his personal expenses, all his money goes elsewhere, and when there’s an unexpected situation mid-month, he even takes money from me. While I can’t access the transfer records from too long ago, I have them in my ledger. Over the years of marriage, there haven’t been any gifts, at most just a cake.
He claims he doesn’t spend much money, which is laughably absurd. Of course, he doesn’t spend much; because I prepare everything for him!
He’s almost never bought presents for our daughter. I’ve prepared every birthday gift.
Ever since that girl’s parents passed away, whenever our daughter received something, he always prepared the same for that girl. Is it not normal for both our daughter and me to mind?
I don’t support him? If I didn’t support him, how could he not contribute anything to our household and still live so comfortably?
I bought the house; I bought the car. I’ve been paying the mortgage all these years.
When that girl needed treatment fees, he wanted to mortgage the house, saying he would help repay it. Isn’t that laughable? Does that mean he expected me to repay it all alone?
After over a decade, I realized I made a mistake. Truly, I regret it, what kind of relationship should I have had with Ran Zhengfeng if not a marital one? Thankfully, my daughter has remained strong, unimpacted by these issues—otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do.
Laughably, in the eyes of those orphanage kids, my daughter and I are the villains, and only Ran Zhengfeng is a good guy.
Shouldn’t I be angry?
I’m simply exhausted. I want a divorce. I want to live quietly with my daughter. Is there anything in this family that Ran Zhengfeng has contributed to? So what if I kicked him out? I didn’t even take back that car but let him have it.
Yet in your eyes, I’m still a villain, and he’s been wronged beyond measure.
If you feel so sorry for him, go marry him because I certainly won’t.
Last time, when the class organized a donation, Ran Zhengfeng actually questioned why my daughter didn’t donate. It was simply ridiculous. I was so mad I slapped him. My daughter isn’t someone just anyone can bully.
Besides, even if he doesn’t help, that girl wouldn’t be short on treatment fees. I mentioned this early on, and Ran Zhengfeng said that money was for her future to settle down. At the time, I also said, my house is for my daughter. If her own father doesn’t think of her, as her mother, I have to consider her future.
The most infuriating part was when that girl had just gotten sick, he wanted my daughter to be a donor. At that moment, I had thoughts of killing him! This is utterly intolerable!
Because I refused, he perceived me as cold and heartless.
He was unhappy and appeared pitiful, making the children he helped view me as the villain.
Is this kind of person someone you all admire so much? Take him home then, because I certainly can’t afford to have him around and frankly find it a bit disgusting.
Initially, I only wanted a quiet divorce, but some people couldn’t stand it and wanted to ruin us, mother and daughter. I guessed this matter might become a big deal but never expected it to blow up this much. I’m truly grateful I developed a habit of documenting things. Otherwise, how could I voice these grievances?
Ran Zhengfeng, go ahead and do your charity work, but leave us be, mother and daughter.
