Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 66 The Fate of Honest People

At this moment, the middle-aged woman arrived in front of them. Upon seeing the car Ye Qing and Su Nian were driving, she said sarcastically, "Oh, I never knew you had such rich friends. What? You think you can get out of this divorce by bringing someone over?"

Seeing Chen Yong's frustrated expression, Ye Qing frowned deeply and asked, "What happened?"

"What's going on?" the middle-aged woman said in a sharp and sarcastic voice. "This is my son-in-law. My daughter doesn't like him anymore and wants to divorce him, but he refuses to agree. The thing is, he has no skills whatsoever and can't support our family. He still shamelessly refuses to divorce us. Tell me, does he have no shame at all?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yong's face flushed red.

Ye Qing frowned.

No wonder he sensed Yang Yong was preoccupied the moment he entered the room today; it turns out it was because of the impending divorce.

"Then what did Chen Yong mean when he said... that you should return the money he spent?" Ye Qing asked.

The reason he didn't leave wasn't because he wanted to see Chen Yong make a fool of himself!

From their first meeting, he knew that Chen Yong was too honest, while the middle-aged woman in front of him seemed to be a sharp-tongued and mean-spirited person. He felt that Chen Yong would suffer a great loss, which is why he stayed.

"What's it to you!" the woman said with a sneer. "Don't think you're so great just because you drive a nice car. Let me tell you, my new son-in-law is much richer than you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "New son-in-law? So your daughter cheated on you, and now you're here to force my friend to get a divorce!"

The middle-aged woman said matter-of-factly, "So what if he is? Chen Yong is a good-for-nothing. He only does odd jobs on construction sites and can't support our family at all. We've met a better man now and want to divorce him. What's wrong with that?"

As she spoke, she proudly showed off a handbag in her hand, saying, "See this handbag? My new son-in-law gave it to me; it costs over 30,000 yuan! He can't even afford one with his entire month's salary!"

Chen Yong's face was full of frustration.

"Didn't Chen Yong say that he would divorce you as long as you pay back the money he spent on you?" Ye Qing said, "Your new son-in-law is so rich, why don't you make him pay it back!"

The middle-aged woman sneered, "He married my daughter. My daughter is so beautiful. Has he been trying to freeload off her all these years?"

Ye Qing wanted to say something, but Chen Yong gritted his teeth and grabbed Ye Qing, saying, "Ye Qing, can you take me with you?"

Ye Qing was taken aback.

At this moment, Chen Yong looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "If you don't return the money, I won't sign!"

After saying that, he opened the car door and climbed inside.

Ye Qing also gave the woman a deep look, then opened the car door and didn't continue arguing with her.

"Chen Yong, you can't escape!" the woman shouted.

Lin Qianyu didn't dwell on it too much and started the car directly.

As soon as the car started, Ye Qing heard a sobbing sound coming from the back. Chen Yong was looking down, seemingly unable to bear it, and was silently wiping away tears!

Ye Qing turned her head and looked at Chen Yong, saying, "Tell me what happened, maybe I can help you!"

Ye Qing still felt some goodwill towards this honest and kind man.

After all, he had only heard of Ye Qing's name, and because of a small favor he had done for her back then, he came to confirm whether Ye Qing was still alive. Based on this alone, Ye Qing had a very good impression of him!

Chen Yong gritted his teeth, raised his head, and his eyes were bloodshot!

"I don't know if you still remember!" Chen Yong said, "My family is actually quite well-off. My parents run a small business in Donghai, and after I graduated from university, I also helped out at home!"

He seemed to have been holding it in for a long time before finally speaking to Ye Qing: "Later, through a matchmaker, my family introduced me to a woman, who is now my wife. She is very beautiful, and I fell in love with her at first sight. She also liked that our family was well-off, so we got married!"

"Shortly after we got married, she made me hand over all my salary and everything else," Chen Yong said. "Later, my parents had some misfortunes and passed away one after another, but the business was still doing alright in my hands! I gave her everything I had, adding her name to the house and car, and handing over all my salary!"

"However... one day, I looked at her bank card and found that there wasn't a single penny left!" Chen Yong said with a bitter smile, "I asked her and found out that she had given all her money to his family!"

Ye Qing was taken aback and asked, "She has a younger brother?"

Chen Yong nodded.

"And that's not all. She got into gambling somewhere and owed millions!" Chen Yong said. "At the time, I wanted to divorce her, but she kept begging me, saying she wouldn't do it again!"

“I thought about how we already had a child, and for the sake of the child, I was willing to suffer a little. I also saw her admit her mistakes, so I…” Chen Yong gritted his teeth and said, “I sold the company and the house to help her cover the losses, and then I went with her back to her parents’ home, which is Jiangcheng!”

"However, this was just the beginning of a nightmare!" Chen Yong said. "I lost my business and didn't have much skill, so I could only work on construction sites and deliver food after work. If I worked hard, I could actually earn more than 20,000 yuan a month!"

“But they’re not satisfied at all!” Chen Yong said. “They complain about me every day, and I’ve been putting up with it!”

"But not long ago, I don't know where she hooked up with a rich man... and then she forced me to divorce him..." Chen Yong said with a bitter smile, "If I don't divorce him, they threaten me with the children, and my brother-in-law also hires some thugs to coerce and threaten me!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu's faces turned extremely dark.

"I don't know whether to say you deserve it or to pity you!" Ye Qing said speechlessly, "After she squandered your family fortune, you still have to hand over every penny you earn in Jiangcheng every month?"

“She made a scene when I refused to pay, so I thought it was better to avoid trouble!” Chen Yong said. “I never expected things to turn out this way!”

"I don't have any friends here, and I really don't know what to do!" He looked up at the car window, his eyes filled with endless exhaustion.
