The little guy was put in a difficult position by the two elders. He would offend the other one if he chose to go!
"Don't be so stubborn!" Mo Yuxin pulled Chang Zhiyuan back. "How can he choose? Aren't you making things difficult for him? In my opinion, we should go to whichever visa is approved first. It's easier to get a visa from Japan. We can go to Japan first! "
Chang Zhiyuan was anxious. How could his wife side with an outsider?
Suddenly, Chang Zhiyuan had an idea. He turned to Ruan Keshan and said, "In-law, you're from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He's a citizen of the country. It's not good for him to go abroad, right?"
Ruan Keshan curled his lips and puffed out his chest. "We just need to apply in advance."
"Hey, I don't need to apply in advance. I can go whenever I want. My visa is still valid for seven years! I'll just wait for Youxuan to get it done. I'll definitely be faster. "Chang Zhiyuan puffed out his chest, feeling that he had won this round.
Ruan Keshan was speechless.
Mo Yuxin was helpless. She quickly winked at her sister-in-law and called everyone to eat together, hoping to shut Chang Zhiyuan's mouth during the meal.
However, the two were still fighting during the meal. They didn't dare to let Youxuan eat too much meat because not only Qi Chenglin, but even Ruan Danchen wouldn't allow it.
They weren't afraid of Qi Chenglin, but they were afraid that Ruan Danchen would be unhappy.
…
Everyone ended their lunch while Ruan Keshan and Chang Zhiyuan were bickering. In the end, no one had time to talk about Ruan Keyu and Chang Yuehuan.
Mo Yuxin and Chen Minxia chatted on the side. They were quite agreeable.
At first, the two would control the two men, but later on, they couldn't be bothered to control them anymore.
After the meal, everyone chatted for a while. Including Ruan Danchen, they tacitly ignored Chang Zhiyuan and Ruan Keshan's bickering.
Ruan Zeer was used to it. After all, he had Old Master Ruan at home. He didn't care what Ruan Keshan did.
Chang Jingwan was shocked. She didn't know that her strict father had such a childish side.
The Ruan family got up to leave. Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen also wanted to take the little fellow away. Chang Zhiyuan waved at the little fellow. "Youxuan, come."
The little fellow came over with a big bag of toys.
The other four bags were with Qi Chenglin, Ruan Danchen, Chen Minxia, and Ruan Zeer. Due to Ruan Keshan's aversion to these toys, the little girl did not let him carry them. The little fellow felt that he was very considerate, but he didn't know that Ruan Keshan was very sad at this moment.
Ruan Keshan felt that this was a manifestation of the little fellow's trust and closeness to them. Could it be that the little fellow was angry at him because of what he said before?
Thus, throughout the entire process, Ruan Keshan looked at the little fellow with a particularly resentful expression.
What the little fellow didn't know was that he was standing in front of Chang Zhiyuan, shaking his little butt.
"Granduncle." The little guy called out sweetly, which made Chang Zhiyuan feel that he was willing to give him anything.
"Here, this is the pocket money granduncle gave you, ah!" Chang Zhiyuan took out a stack of red bills from his pocket, but he couldn't count how many there were.
"Buy whatever you want to buy, ah!" Chang Zhiyuan stuffed the money into the little fellow's hand.
The little fellow's eyes lit up. His chubby little hands grabbed the money as he blushed and said embarrassedly, "This … this is so embarrassing!"
Chang Zhiyuan watched as the little fellow grabbed the money, took the bag off his shoulder, and took out a wallet from inside. He took out a wallet that he had gotten from Qi Chengji last year. At that time, he especially "subtly" hinted that it was time for Qi Chengji to change his wallet. Thus, Qi Chengji cleverly gave him the "old wallet" that he had bought less than a week ago.
Seeing the little fellow politely put away the money, even Chang Zhiyuan, who was especially good at finding excuses for his nephew, couldn't take it anymore.
"Great-uncle, you don't have to spend so much next time. Give me less. At most, you can give me a few more times, right?" The little fellow said in a negotiating tone, which always made people's teeth itch.
"It's okay, you don't have to save money for granduncle. Granduncle will pay you back next time!" Chang Zhiyuan smiled with a wrinkled face.
Mo Yuxin felt that Chang Zhiyuan was exuding the glow of a fool with a lot of money.
"Granduncle, you … you really make me like you!" After the little fellow put the money away, he jumped into Chang Zhiyuan's arms and wriggled around.
"You must be the best granduncle in the world. When I go to school tomorrow, I'll tell my friends and let them be jealous. Their granduncles are definitely not as good as mine! "The little fellow said crisply, puffing out his chest.
Previously, he had boasted to his classmates about his great-grandparents who were scientists. Now that he had so many family members to boast about, he was really embarrassed!
Chang Zhiyuan smiled widely, thinking that the little fellow's words were really pleasing to the ears!
Ruan Keshan snorted, feeling that he had lost again. He was very indignant.
Ruan Ze 'er sneaked up to Ruan Keshan's ear and whispered, "You see, actually giving him money is more useful than anything else."
Ruan Keshan snorted again, "How can I be as shameless as him! I … I have the unyielding pride of a scientist! "
"…" Chang Jingwan heard their conversation clearly from the side. She felt that her worldview had been turned upside down.
Were all scientists like this?
Was the pride of a scientist used in this kind of place?
Ruan Ze 'er, the mathematical genius who had been featured in the newspaper and guaranteed entry into A University, did not seem to be reliable at all!
"Granduncle will definitely create more opportunities for you to show off," Chang Zhiyuan said on the other end.
Chang Jingwan also felt that this person was definitely not her father. Her father could not be so brain-dead.
Chang Zhiyuan wanted to continue increasing his favorability in Qi Youxuan's heart, but his phone rang and interrupted him.
Chang Zhiyuan looked at it and saw that it was Old Liang.
Chang Zhiyuan got up and answered the phone. After listening to Old Liang, he hung up and said to Ruan Danchen, "Chang Jingqiu and her parents' DNA test report is out. Old Liang was afraid that something might happen, so he personally brought Chang Jingqiu's parents to Old Madam's place. He will leave after we get there."
Old Liang had really done his best on this matter. He was really worried about leaving this matter to him.
After all, this was a family matter of the Chang Family. Ruan Keshan and the rest could not follow them, so they left first. Ruan Danchen asked them to bring the little fellow back first while she and Qi Chenglin went to the Chang Family. Old Madam Chang's place would definitely be in a mess today. Old Madam Chang and Chang Jingqiu might go crazy, so it was better not to let the little fellow go.
However, Chang Zhiyuan asked Chang Jingwan to follow them. She was all grown up now and it would not be good to leave her outside after such a big incident.
…
When they arrived at Old Madam Chang's place, Old Liang was waiting at the entrance of her villa with a document in his hand.
Other than Chang Zhiyuan, he had not interacted with anyone else in the Chang Family. However, from the past few days, he really did not like them and did not want to interact with them. The Chang Family only interacted with Chang Zhiyuan.
Chang Zhiyuan alighted from the car. Old Liang walked over and handed him the DNA test report. "I will not interfere with your family matters."
Chang Zhiyuan patted Old Liang's shoulder. "Thank you so much."
Old Liang smiled generously. "Don't mention it!"
Old Liang did not stay for long and left.
Before entering the house, Chang Zhiyuan said to Ruan Danchen, "If Old Madam says anything unpleasant, ignore her. If you don't want to acknowledge the people in this family, then don't. Just remember not to deny us. "
Chang Zhiyuan was also helpless. Even he, who had been born and raised in the Chang Family, was fed up with that group of people. If it wasn't for the fact that they were related by blood, even he wouldn't want to acknowledge them, let alone Ruan Danchen, who had no feelings for the Chang Family at all and was repeatedly provoked by Old Mistress Chang.
Ruan Danchen was amused by his words. "Don't worry. Otherwise, I would not have brought Youxuan and Big Uncle to visit you."
"Sigh!" Chang Zhiyuan finally relaxed and smiled. He nodded and added worriedly, "I will definitely treat you and Youxuan very well. Don't deny me! I don't want to be implicated by them. "
Mo Yuxin was speechless.
From what he said, it was as if he really wanted to cut ties with the Chang Family.
After getting Ruan Danchen's assurance, Chang Zhiyuan pressed the doorbell. Before long, the sister-in-law opened the door and let them in.
In the living room, Chang Jingqiu had just been discharged from the hospital yesterday and was sitting in a wheelchair. She was wearing an ankle-length skirt that covered her legs.
Actually, Chang Jingqiu's waist was injured, causing her to be paralyzed. Her legs were not injured, so it did not matter even if they were not covered.
Old Madam Chang and Chang Zhixing were sitting on the sofa. Opposite the sofa were two chairs that had been temporarily moved over. Sitting on the chairs were the two people that Ruan Danchen had seen at the hospital that day, Huang Pinggui and Wang Lixia.
There were many seats on the sofa, but they did not let them sit. Instead, they sat on the chairs like they were interrogating criminals. Could it be that they were afraid that they would dirty the sofa?
Ruan Danchen looked on coldly. She truly could not have a good impression of this family.
Seeing Huang Pinggui and Wang Lixia sitting on the chairs, Wang Lixia could not help but look around the living room enviously even though she was nervous. Huang Pinggui, on the other hand, had a fawning smile on his face. Seeing that Chang Jingqiu did not seem to be despised by the Chang Family, he started to show concern for her. However, Chang Jingqiu pursed her lips in annoyance and continued to ignore him.
It was only after Huang Pinggui was snubbed that he finally stopped talking. However, his face was filled with indignation as he felt that this daughter of his was truly heartless.
Seeing that Chang Zhiyuan and the others had arrived, Old Madam Chang saw the document in Chang Zhiyuan's hands. It was the one that Old Liang was holding.
"Hmph!" Old Madam Chang harrumphed. "He's finally willing to hand over the report? What does he mean by guarding against us? We should be the ones guarding against him instead. "
Chang Zhiyuan was already used to Old Madam Chang's inability to tell good from bad, so he did not refute her. He only placed the documents in front of them, "This is the DNA report of Huang Pinggui, his wife, and Chang Jingqiu. Take a look yourself."
Actually, it did not matter whether they read it or not. Even Chang Jingqiu had admitted that she was Huang Pinggui and Wang Lixia's daughter. However, Old Madam Chang still took the report out and read the results.
Old Madam Chang's face darkened as she threw the report on the table. Chang Zhixing picked it up and took a look as well. Liu Xiangwen, who was at the side, was especially nosy and joined in the fun. When she saw the results, she looked at Huang Pinggui and Wang Lixia.
She did not expect that these two ordinary-looking people could give birth to such a beautiful daughter like Chang Jingqiu.
"What do you plan to do about this?" Old Madam Chang asked Huang Pinggui and his wife coldly.
Huang Pinggui chuckled and began to rub his hands out of habit. His actions and expression revealed a sense of wretchedness, which made Old Madam Chang even more annoyed.
Liu Xiangwen harrumphed coldly in disdain. When she thought about how the dignified Chang Family actually had a relationship with such a person, she felt disgusted.
Liu Xiangwen rubbed her arms as if there was something dirty on them.
Chang Jingqiu saw this and thought for a moment before her eyes turned red. "What are you guys trying to do? Back then, you sold me out, so let's make a clean break. We have nothing to do with each other. Now, you're here to take advantage of me? Have you never treated me as your daughter? What else is there in your eyes other than money? Do you guys not miss me that much? "
"Don't say that. I'm sure you don't want to suffer with us. Look at how you've grown up in such a rich family and are used to it. Now that you're here to suffer with us and live in that run-down bungalow, are you willing? " Huang Pinggui snorted in disdain. "You said that we don't have any familial love in our eyes, but you're still unwilling to acknowledge us. You're indeed our child. Even if you weren't brought up by us, your personality is just like us. "
Did that mean that she was as selfish as them and only cared about money?
Chang Jingqiu's face flushed red. She did not expect Huang Pinggui's mouth to be so sharp.
Huang Pinggui ignored her and rubbed his hands as he said to Old Madam Chang, "Rich families like you are very particular. I know that you guys care a lot about your reputation. I'm sure you don't want outsiders to know that you've raised the wrong child for 27 years. Even though I'm not well-educated and have never seen the world, I can still think of that. "
Huang Pinggui sniggered coldly. "I know that you guys look down on us and don't want to have anything to do with us, let alone let others know of our existence. Looking at the situation today, you guys seem to want to continue raising Chang Jingqiu. I didn't know that you guys are rather kind-hearted to be able to raise a child for someone else. Even though you know that you've raised the wrong child, you're still willing to do so. "
Old Madam Chang's expression turned darker as Chang Jingqiu's heart skipped a beat.
Huang Pinggui raised three fingers. "We don't want much. Give us 3 million, and we promise not to say a single word. We'll pretend that nothing happened and that we don't even know one another."
Old Madam Chang's gaze was fierce.
Chang Jingqiu suddenly cried out, "I can't let you guys threaten the Chang Family like this! You guys said it yourself. The Chang Family has raised me for so many years. You guys have already earned that much money by selling me. The amount of effort and money that the Chang Family has spent to raise me is not something that you guys can imagine. To be honest, you guys owe the Chang Family. It's already good enough that the Chang Family didn't ask you for money! The Chang Family raised your daughter for you guys, yet you guys still want to give you money. There's no such logic! "
"That's none of our business." Huang Pinggui said like a hoodlum. "Anyway, you guys are the ones who are afraid of losing face, not us. If you guys don't want us to spout nonsense, then use money to shut our mouths. Don't you rich people always say the same thing? Problems that can be solved with money aren't problems at all. We don't want anything else. We just want money! "
"Then bring me away!" Chang Jingqiu screamed, "Anyway, I'm a cripple now. Without the Chang Family, I'm nothing. I'm just a cripple who can't do anything. I've also lost my previous job. I'll go back with you guys to live in that broken bungalow. You guys can raise me! "
"Why!" Huang Pinggui was unhappy when he heard that, "You're a cripple who can't do anything, yet you want us to raise you? We don't have that kind of money, so we won't raise you! "
"Then why do you guys want money? Why does the Chang Family have to give you money? Huang Pinggui, let me tell you, even if I leave the Chang Family and never come back, I won't give you the chance to extort the Chang Family! "
Chang Jingqiu's eyes turned red as tears flowed out, "Grandmother endured hardships to raise me up and treated me better than anyone else. I definitely won't implicate her and let her suffer because of me. She has to lower her head to someone like you and give you money. I, you guys, all owe the Chang Family! "
"They've already raised an unrelated person like me for so many years. I won't let them suffer anymore!" Chang Jingqiu fiercely pointed at Huang Pinggui, "Let me tell you, Huang Pinggui, in my eyes, the Chang Family is my home, my family. Long ago when you guys sold me out, we had nothing to do with each other. I definitely won't acknowledge the two of you! "
"Even if I drag this crippled body of mine to beg on the streets, I won't be in the Chang Family anymore! From today onwards, I'm no longer a member of the Chang Family. Even if you guys go out and spout nonsense, I won't admit it! If that's the case, what reason do you have to threaten the Chang Family? "
"You …" Huang Pinggui stood up. His eyes were also red, but he was angry. He looked as if he wanted to eat Chang Jingqiu alive and attack her at any moment.
"What are you doing? This is our house, how dare you behave so atrociously here!" Old Madam Chang slammed the sofa angrily.
Just then, Chang Jingqiu pushed herself up with both hands on the armrests of the wheelchair. With a plop, she fell forward onto the sofa.
She couldn't feel anything below her waist and couldn't kneel even if she wanted to. All she could do was lie there pathetically.
"Jingqiu!" Old Madam Chang exclaimed, "What are you doing?!"
Chang Jingqiu crawled forward. Old Madam Chang said to Chang Zhixing anxiously, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help Jingqiu up!"
"No, no one is allowed to touch me!" Chang Jingqiu cried and hugged Old Madam Chang's leg. She looked up at her feet and said, "Grandmother, just let me be like this! I can't feel my legs now. I can't even kneel to you. This is all I can do now. Please don't stop me. "
"Child, what are you doing? You haven't recovered yet! "Old Madam Chang said, her heart aching.
Chang Jingqiu shook her head. "Grandmother, I just want to kowtow to you. Jingqiu is unfilial. You raised me, but I'm a cripple now. I can't repay you even if I want to. This is the first time I've hated myself so much. I hate myself for being useless. The only thing I can do now is not to make things difficult for you. "
"Child, what are you talking about?" Old Madam Chang said, her heart aching.
"Listen to me." Chang Jingqiu cried. Her emotions were very real. "I can't bear to leave you, but I can't let that scoundrel use your kindness to extort money. It's not that we can't fork out three million, but why should we let him take advantage of us and be threatened by him? I can't let him disgust you like this! If this happens once, there will be a second time. Today, he said that he took three million and didn't say anything. Tomorrow, he tasted the sweetness and regretted it, coming back to ask for another five million. Otherwise, he'll say anything. When will this end?
"Grandmother, you're getting on in years. You should be living a happy life. No one can make things difficult for you. I can't let them take advantage of you. I'm not a member of the Chang family anyway. Even if I leave, it's only right. " Chang Jingqiu cried. She looked up, but her eyes were full of longing. "Grandmother, Jingqiu is unfilial. I can no longer be filial to you in the future. From today onwards, I can no longer be your granddaughter. Don't worry. Even if I have to leave, I won't go with them. I can live well on my own. Even if I can no longer be filial to you, I'll pray to Buddha to bless you every day so that you can be healthy, happy, and live a long life. It's just that … it's just that Jingqiu can no longer be under you in the future. Jingqiu is unfilial. "
