She felt it was particularly absurd for her to witness the meanness of her family members with her own eyes.

"No matter what, you still have to win over Xiao Mian. You can't let her become alienated from you."

With a slightly cold gaze, Lin Rou whispered, "She is your wife after all, and she is also our family's escape route. Shaoyang, you can't act on impulse at this time."

Zhong Shaoyang still looked unwilling.

But looking at the expectation and eagerness on her face, and Zhong Dingguo's hair which had turned half white in recent days, he couldn't say no after all.

"Okay, I'll go." After wiping his face, he went upstairs with a look of endurance and humiliation on his face.

Looking at his figure, Zhong Sisi felt absurd.

"Mom and Dad, can't we sell our shares and stop in time?"

She cautiously asked, "If I declare bankruptcy, even if I can't live the wealthy life I have now, at least I can keep some money."

Now the Zhong family still has outstanding bank loans to repay.

After declaring bankruptcy and auctioning off their property, they will not be in dire straits.

At least I can keep a house and some money. Even if I can't continue to live a luxurious life, at least I can ensure food and clothing.

"What nonsense! Do you know how much money we're going to lose if we buy and sell stocks?"

Zhong Dingguo's expression suddenly changed, and he angrily said, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! What bankruptcy? The Zhong family will never go bankrupt!"

Lin Rou also looked disapproving. "Sisi, if you don't understand business matters, don't make things more complicated. Don't say such unlucky words about bankruptcy or not."

Their faces were full of determination, as if they didn't even consider this option.

Even though she already knew the result, Zhong Sisi couldn't help but lower her eyes, feeling a bit bitter and self-deprecating in her heart.

"Dad, mom."

She paused for a moment, then, with a hint of anticipation, asked softly, "Second Uncle has been alone for so many years, hasn't he ever thought about finding someone else?"

"How would we know about him?"

Zhong Dingguo said unhappily, "Let him live his life however he wants. What does it have to do with our family?"

"What happened to my second uncle's wife and daughter?"

Zhong Sisi bit her lip and said with difficulty: "Was the fire that year really an accident?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Zhong Dingguo flew into a rage and slammed the table, demanding, "Who taught you to ask these questions? Who told you anything? Was it your second uncle?"

His face was ferocious and his eyes bulged out, making him look particularly scary.

It made Zhong Sisi feel unfamiliar.

Lin Rou's eyes flickered, and she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Sisi, why are you asking these questions? It happened so many years ago, why bring it up again? Your second uncle would be upset if he heard about it."

After all, they are her parents. How could Zhong Sisi not see the guilty conscience hidden beneath their angry or calm appearance?

it goes without saying.

Zhong Sisi felt very cold in her heart. After a while, she smiled bitterly and said, "In your eyes, I am probably just a simple fool."

She asked no more questions.

Since her family doesn't allow her to take care of it, then she won't.

In short, no matter what the outcome is, she will face it together with her family.

Ms. Ruan is right. Since she has enjoyed it for so many years, it is time to return it.

She is not innocent either.

She turned and went upstairs in silence, leaving Zhong Dingguo roaring furiously behind her: "Listen to what she's saying! She's rebelling... One by one, they're all troublesome!"

Inside the room, Zhong Shaoyang took a deep breath as he watched Li Mian throwing clothes into the suitcase.

"Xiao Mian, how long are you going to make such a fuss?"

He tried to calm his breathing, his voice a little tired, and said in a hoarse voice: "We are obviously husband and wife, do we have to make such a fuss?"

"Did I want to be like this?"

Li Mian turned around abruptly, tears streaming down her face. "It was all right that you liked Ruan Xingchen before. But now, I'm your wife, and we have a child. Have you ever thought about how much pain I'm feeling when you do this?"

"I told you, it's not what you think. I don't like her at all."

Sighing, Zhong Shaoyang said in a deep voice: "How could I possibly like someone who schemed against me? I transferred money to her this time because she and Huo Yan set a trap for me. I had no choice... Can't you just trust me?"

His eyes were full of fatigue. He took a step forward and held Li Mian in his arms.

He kissed her ear gently and whispered, "You are my wife. You love me so much. I am not blind. How can I not see it? Believe me, huh?"

"Brother Shaoyang..."

Li Mian's legs became weak from the kiss, and her nostrils were filled with his masculine scent, making her unable to stand steadily for a moment.

Apart from that drunken encounter before their marriage, the two of them had no further intimate contact.

After they got married and got pregnant, they slept in separate rooms for the sake of the child.

This was the first time that Zhong Shaoyang was so close to her while he was awake.

Li Mian's cheeks flushed red, and she felt a little dizzy for a moment, as if her brain had lost the ability to think.

I could only grab the fabric on his chest and murmur, "You, you really didn't lie to me? You don't like her anymore?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Zhong Shaoyang's eyes flashed with coldness, and he closed his eyes and kissed her lips: "Xiaomian, why don't you understand... You never left me when I was in the most difficult time. Only you are so good. How could I continue to like that woman?"

It was hard to tell whether it was because of the close contact or because of what he said, but Li Mian felt as if an electric current was running through his scalp.

I felt numb and tingling all over, my whole body was limp, and my heart was beating faster.

Brother Shaoyang said that he no longer likes Ruan Xingchen.

The person he likes now is her, right?

The anger and sadness in her heart turned into excitement and sweetness. Li Mian couldn't help but hook her arm around Zhong Shaoyang's neck and act coquettishly: "Then you are not allowed to contact her or look at her again in the future."

Pushing the envelope.

Zhong Shaoyang was impatient in his heart, but a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Okay... If you say no, then no. My wife has given an order, how dare I disobey? Are you not angry now?"

"see your performance."

Although she said this, Li Mian couldn't help but smile sweetly, and the joy in her eyes was about to overflow.

Did she finally see the light through the clouds?

She was so surprised that she felt dizzy for a moment.

What's more, the two of them were so close that she could hear the heartbeat of the person next to her.

She couldn't help but soften her voice and said softly, "You, please let me go..."

"It's only natural for me to hug my wife."

Zhong Shaoyang chuckled softly, and not only did he not let her go, but he pushed her directly onto the bed and pressed on her.

The suitcase, which was not filled with much, was swept directly to the ground, and clothes were scattered all over the floor.
