Xu Shan's husband, Zhu Kongque, clenched his fists tightly at his sides, his veins bulging!

They actually dared to so brazenly allow his child to change his surname; they clearly don't respect him at all.

The voice was both sinister and cold.

"My child will not change his surname, nor will he inherit any of the Xu family's property."

Xu Shan glanced at him with a blank expression and quickly looked away. Her mind raced, but she couldn't find a suitable reason to refute him. She then looked up at her mother.

“But my sister-in-law doesn’t have the surname Xu, so she can’t get a share.”

Xu's mother had been foolish her whole life, and this was the first time she had seen the light.

“Yes, if Xu Wen’s mother can get a share, then I also want a share. I’ve been married into the Xu family for so many years, so I’m a member of the Xu family too.”

"Jianren is already divorced, so they definitely can't separate again."

Xu Qian and Xu Shan were surprised. Their brother had actually gotten divorced? They hadn't heard a word about it.

Could it be that the two of them were deliberately lying to them in order to get a larger share of the inheritance? They couldn't help but doubt the truth of the matter.

"Second Aunt, this is originally your and Chenxing's property to be divided, why are you getting involved?"

"I don't care, if it's not for me, it can't be for her."

Xu's mother insisted that she was happy to give the money to her son, but not to others.

"Second Aunt, don't be so stubborn. You won't get a share. Didn't Chenxing leave you a separate inheritance?"

Xu's mother's eyes darted around, looking at Xu Qian and Xu Shan. Xu Shan quietly moved her finger, pointing to Zhu Kongque beside her.

Xu's mother immediately understood.

“I don’t care if I don’t want to share, but if the daughter-in-law wants to share, then the son-in-law should share too.”

"Ha!" Xu Jianren sneered.

"Sir, just count me. I am indeed divorced. Xu Wen and Xu Yao live with their mother. I am alone now."

"Mom, you don't need to fight for your son-in-law anymore. If your daughter has money, then your son-in-law will have money too, right?"

Xu Jianren didn't want to see his mother's biased expression anymore, so he directly showed her his divorce certificate.

"Divorce certificates can be fake. Who knows if you're really getting a divorce or just faking it?"

Xu Shan lowered her head, fiddling with the small rhinestones on her manicure, and said casually.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Anyway, it's only my property that's going to be divided, so you guys can get a bigger share, right?"

Xu Jianren coldly stared at Xu Shan's greedy face.

As Xu Jianren produced the divorce certificate, Xu Chenxing's spirit was instantly drained.

He favored his daughter, but what had he endured for most of his life? Wasn't it just to carry on the family line? The reason he was good to Xu's mother was because she gave birth to his son.

Although he didn't like his son, he couldn't live without him.

All he wanted was a house full of children and grandchildren.

Now that his son says he's divorced and his two grandsons are still living with their mother, his heart feels empty.

Did they get divorced because they were dissatisfied with the compensation for the demolition of their house last time? But he hasn't even been allocated the house yet!

Xu Chenxing sat there blankly, lifeless, his heart filled with mixed feelings. What should he do?

Xu Chenhui glanced at Xu Chenxing out of the corner of his eye. "Finally getting your comeuppance, huh? You couldn't treat everyone equally. You caused your son to be separated from his wife and children. Are you happy now?"

"Why did you get divorced?" Xu Chenxing asked, coming back to her senses, unwilling to accept it.

"I have no money, I have no skills, so what's the point of not getting a divorce? Are you going to stay with me and continue to suffer, being ostracized and looked down upon by you all?"

"You always try to repay my kindness by saying you'll help me get married and have kids, but now that I'm single again, isn't that great?"

Xu Jianren said with an indifferent expression.

"What will you use to blackmail me next?"

Let me think about it

"Well, how about using the excuse of gratitude for being raised?"

Xu Jianren smiled mockingly, staring at Xu Chenxing with an ambiguous expression.

徐辰星……

After a long silence, he looked around at everyone.

"The two houses in the village were compensated with a total of 2.3 million yuan. Since the factory was run by two people, plus the debts, the compensation received was about 10 million yuan."

Our family has high expenses, and we haven't saved much money over the years, only a little over four million yuan, with a total of over sixteen million yuan.

Your mother and I will each keep one million as our funeral savings. You won't need to pay for our retirement separately; you'll just need to take care of us from now on.

That leaves fourteen million; you three can split it equally!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chenxing seemed to have exhausted all his strength and slumped back on the sofa.

"Dad, didn't you say before that the compensation was for three houses in the village? How come it's only for two now?"

Xu Qian blurted out.

Xu Chenxing struggled to look up at her. "That's your brother's wedding house. The property certificate is in your brother's name. I have no right to sign it on his behalf."

"But that's a house you paid for to build, Dad!"

Xu Shan pouted in dissatisfaction.

"I also paid for your shop, why don't we split it equally?"

Xu Chenxing asked in a forced, insincere smile.

Xu Shan was extremely dissatisfied. She had been trying to please them every day, and they had secretly given her brother a house as compensation. It was too unfair. Now they wanted to take her shop and divide it up too. How could they accept that?

“Dad, the shop was bought after my marriage and belongs to my marital property. How can it be divided? My brother’s house was built before he got married.”

Xu Shan's insatiable greed is truly disgusting.

Xu Chenxing glanced at Xu Shan sideways. He now felt that he had spoiled his two daughters' appetites. Fortunately, the money was still in his hands, and he was in charge.

"If you don't want to, you can leave and not participate in today's property distribution! Your mother and I don't need you to support us in our old age!"

Xu Chenxing's face turned cold as he spoke in a deep voice.

"No...no, I'm not unwilling!"

Xu Shan stammered reluctantly. She could still tell which was more important.

Seeing that Xu Shan had finally behaved, Xu Chenxing continued.

"Fourteen million, you three split it equally. I'll use it to support Jianren in his old age, and you two will use it to support your mother. What do you think of this division?"

"Jianren will take care of my and your mother's funeral arrangements!"

There was silence below.

Xu Qian and Xu Shan started whispering to their respective husbands.

Their mother is over seventy years old, how much can she eat and drink? Besides, Xu's mother has a million yuan in retirement savings, so the two families are making a profit by supporting one elderly person.

"Of course we should take care of our mother in her old age. Besides, it's not convenient for my brother, a man, to take care of her alone."

Xu Shan made a statement.

"I also agree to support my mother in her old age," Xu Qian stated.

Xu Chenxing anticipated that they would agree.

Xu's mother wanted to take care of her daughter in her old age, and this was the last thing he could do for her.

He also left her a million dollars, enough for her to live comfortably in her old age.

Xu Chenxing is incredibly good to his wife. Xu Aimei secretly pursed her lips.

"I disagree!"

Everyone was taken aback, and their eyes turned to Xu Jianren.

Xu Jianren slowly looked around and said!

"We all get the same amount of money, so why should I be the one supporting my dad and also responsible for their funeral arrangements after they pass away?"

"Because you are a descendant of the Xu family. As a man, you should contribute more."

Xu Chenxing is using this tactic again.

Xu Jianren closed his eyes. He knew, of course, that his father had a lot of money, which he might have planned to leave to him in the future.

But what he wants now is not secret compensation, but open and aboveboard favoritism.

Yes, he just wants preferential treatment; he wants to see if his recent struggles and resistance have any effect.

Before he came, he secretly resolved that this was the last chance he would give his parents.

But Xu Chenxing clearly disappointed him once again! Perhaps in Xu Chenxing's eyes, this distribution was already extremely fair!

Xu Jianren simply believes it's unfair!

He just wants to be favored, even if only once!

Shattered by his illusions, Xu Jianren stood up listlessly.

"Mom and Dad, I know you don't like me. I have indeed lived a very tiring life these past few years. I am ordinary and mediocre, and I cannot be the son you have in mind. I have disappointed you."

Let's stop torturing each other. I'll give up your property. I'm all alone now, so all that money is useless to me. Just pretend you never had me!

Xu Jianren knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times.

The room was eerily silent, making the sound of Xu Jianren kowtowing seem incredibly jarring.

Xu Jianren calmly kowtowed three times without making a fuss, then got up, dusted off his pants, and turned to leave without any hesitation.

The people inside were only awakened when they heard the door close.

"Jianren!"

Xu Chenxing shouted in grief and indignation, his heart filled with panic. He had a premonition that Xu Jianren really wanted to sever ties with them.

He got up to chase after Xu Jianren, but a sudden, dull pain shot through his chest, and he could not take another step forward. He clutched his chest and slowly collapsed to the ground.

"dad!"

"Chen Xing!"

The room immediately descended into chaos.

Xu Chenxing suffered a sudden onset of high blood pressure and was rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, he was treated in time and his life was saved.

Xu Jianren never showed up from beginning to end. He even changed his phone number and has been out of contact ever since.

Wang Chengyu knew that Xu Jianren had quit his job and gone on a long journey.

After spending the day with Xu Wen and Xu Yao, he sent a message to Wang Chengyu and then left.

No one knows where he went.
