After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Xu Weiyan's gaze fell on Zhao Mengmeng. "Miss Zhao is pregnant?"

"What's it to you?" Zhao Mengmeng retorted impatiently.

Xu Weiyan's mother glared at Zhao Mengmeng with resentment, then looked at Shen Qinglan and greeted her with a fawning smile, "My dear in-law, it's been a long time. Do you still remember me? I am Weiyan's mother, Chen Xiu'e, and this is Weiyan's father, Xu Chang."

Shen Qinglan never expected to run into Xu Weiyan and her family here.

She utterly loathed this family of vampires and didn't want to give them any face at all. She directly said to Xu Weiyan, "Weiyan, didn't you tell your parents that you and Mu An are divorced?"

"Once you're divorced, you can't call each other in-laws anymore, otherwise people will misunderstand, especially since our Mu An already has a girlfriend, and he and Mengmeng are getting married soon."

Xu Weiyan's face flushed red and then turned pale. "I'm sorry, Auntie, I'm used to calling my mom that."

With a ding, the elevator doors opened.

"Let's go," Qi Mu'an said to everyone.

Chen Xiu'e suddenly grabbed Qi Mu'an's hand and deliberately shouted, "Qi Mu'an, are you really that heartless? Even though Wei Yan has divorced you, you were still husband and wife once!"

"Now that she has cancer, she has no money for treatment and no one to take care of her. Are you just going to stand by and watch her die?"

Passersby stopped to watch the spectacle.

Shen Qinglan stepped forward and pulled Chen Xiue's hand away. "How can you be so shameless? Don't you know why your daughter divorced my son? You still have the nerve to ask us for money. Haven't you taken enough money from my son?"

"It's one thing to use the money to support your family, but she's also secretly taking money from my son to keep a lover outside. Doesn't she like that lover? Isn't she head over heels in love with him?"

"Why didn't you ask that bastard to give her money for medical treatment?"

As soon as Shen Qinglan finished speaking, the crowd erupted in excitement.

"My God, how can there be such a shameless woman? It's one thing to support her own family, but she also keeps a lover."

"You can tell just by looking at her parents' faces. Like father, like daughter."

"Anyone who encounters a woman like this is truly unlucky."

“I think her getting cancer is retribution, it’s her own fault, there’s no need to pity a woman like that.”

"Exactly, don't give this kind of person a single penny."

Xu Weiyan couldn't stand it anymore. She glared angrily at her mother, Chen Xiue, and ran away.

Chen Xiue wanted to argue with Shen Qinglan, but her husband Xu Chang forcibly dragged her away.

Shen Qinglan then turned around and glared at her son, "I'll deal with you when we get back. I'm warning you, you're not allowed to give Xu Weiyan a single penny, and you're not allowed to contact her. Your wife now is Mengmeng, remember that."

Qi Mu'an obediently replied, "I understand, Mom."

Zhao Mengmeng winked at her mother-in-law, thanking her for her help. She now greatly admired her mother-in-law; her fighting spirit was too strong.

Shen Qinglan proudly raised her chin and gave her son a push, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go!"

Chen Xiue caught up with her daughter, Xu Weiyan.

He stepped forward and grabbed her, scolding her impatiently, "Why are you running away? You dared to do it, are you afraid of losing face? Is your reputation more important now, or getting your money back from him? How will you get treatment if you don't get your money back?"

"Let me tell you, we don't have any money to treat your illness."

Xu Weiyan shook off her mother Chen Xiue's hand and looked at her incredulously: "Mom, am I really your daughter? Did I pick her up from the roadside? Otherwise, why would you treat me like this?"

“How much money did I take from the Qi family to help you? Now that I’m sick, you won’t give me a single penny. I don’t believe you really can’t afford it.”

Chen Xiue: "You silly girl, you know our family's situation. Your father and I only farm a few acres of land, and the money we earn isn't even enough for our living expenses. Where would we get extra money for you?"

Xu Weiyan: "If you don't have it, then what about my three brothers? Don't forget, the apartment they live in and the business they run are all funded by money I got from Qi Mu'an. Now it's time for them to repay me."

Chen Xiue: "Your brother and his family have lost money in their businesses, and they still have to raise their children. They are even more stressed than we are. Even if you force them to their deaths, they still won't be able to give you any money."

Xu Weiyan paused for a moment, then said, "Fine, then I won't get treatment. There's no point in living anyway, so I'll just go home with you and wait to die."

“No, you can’t go back,” Chen Xiu’e objected. “If you go back, the villagers will know about your divorce. Where will your father and I put our faces then?”

"Besides, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. You can't die in our house, or the villagers will gossip about you. You have to stay here, even if you have to die here."

Xu Weiyan couldn't believe her mother was saying this. "Mom, do you mean that if I die, you won't collect my body? You won't even let me be buried in our village?"

Chen Xiue: "Don't blame us. You can only blame yourself. Why did you leave such a good man like Mu An and go to be with another man? If you hadn't been with that man, you might not have gotten this disease."

Xu Weiyan suppressed her anger and looked at her father, "Dad, why aren't you saying anything?"

Xu Chang sighed helplessly, "Wei Yan, it's not that your parents are heartless, it's just our local custom. Even if a married daughter gets divorced, she can't come back home and die there."

“This isn’t something your mother and I can decide. If you come back, the villagers will definitely come to our house and cause trouble. They will also be even less likely to agree to let you be buried in our village.”

Xu Weiyan sneered, "What era are we living in? You're still so sexist. Why did you raise me in the first place? You might as well have just strangled me."

"You can go back now. My life or death is none of your business."

Chen Xiue breathed a sigh of relief. "We have to go back now. If we don't, your third sister-in-law will complain. Your father and I spent a lot of money on travel expenses to come to Beijing this time, not to mention your third sister-in-law taking care of two children all by herself."

"She has a problem with all of us."

Xu Weiyan laughed self-deprecatingly, "Doesn't Third Sister-in-law know I'm about to die? Is my life more important, or her child?"

Chen Xiue was displeased. "Don't say that. Your third sister-in-law gave birth to two sons for our Xu family. These two children will be there to support your third brother in his old age. Your illness is already like this. What's the use of us being anxious?"

“Son, it’s always son,” Xu Weiyan said with dissatisfaction. “In your eyes, only sons are human, and daughters aren’t? Fine, from now on I’ll pretend I don’t have any family members, and you can pretend you don’t have a daughter like me.”

As she spoke, Xu Weiyan lifted her foot and walked away without looking back.

Xu Chang watched his daughter's retreating figure, feeling a pang of guilt. "Old woman, are we really going back like this?"

Chen Xiu'e glared at her: "Otherwise what? You stay and take care of her?"

Xu Chang: "That won't do, I don't know how to take care of people."

Chen Xiue: "That's settled then. Let's hurry up and go to the train station to see if we can still buy a ticket back. That way we won't have to spend another day on a hotel. We've already spent a thousand yuan these past two days."

“There’s no point in us staying to take care of Weiyan. She’s in this state, do you still expect her to give us money for our old age? The important thing is to go back and take care of Lao San’s grandson.”
