"Well, that's more like it. It's inevitable for men to make mistakes. It's a great virtue to know your mistakes and correct them. Mother-in-law forgives you. I'll help you with Xiao Mei's thinking later. Just don't make the same mistake again!" The mother-in-law secretly let out a sigh of relief, and a trace of pride flashed in her eyes.
Just as she was about to turn around, I stopped her. Mother-in-law had a confused expression. I cleared my throat and said, "Wait, Auntie, help me say sorry to Xiao Mei. I won't be able to accompany her in the future. Take good care of yourself. That villa, just treat it as compensation for the loss of my youth." I also changed the way I addressed her.
"Ah," Mother-in-law was stunned on the spot with a strange expression, "Xiao Zhuang, what do you mean!" "I've decided to break up with Xiao Mei.
"I've decided to break up with Xiao Mei. Ai, she can't give birth. With my parents' tempers, they won't agree. Moreover, Xiao Mei is married. If they find out, they'll definitely beat me to death. It's better to just get the pain over with. Perhaps she and I are fated to not be fated to be together." I shrugged and made my decision.
Although Mother-in-law had been in contact with me for a while, she didn't know my exact identity. She only knew that even the deputy mayor was respectful to me. She wanted sister-in-law to have me all, which wasn't wrong. But now, I couldn't take a similar blow, so I could only loosen the reins.
After all, everyone's temperament was different. With my understanding of Mother-in-law, she wouldn't be willing to let go of a rich husband like me.
As expected, after hearing my explanation, Mother-in-law immediately panicked. "Hey, Xiao Zhuang, you can't be like this. Xiao Mei has fallen to this point. As her man, you have an undeniable responsibility. Now that you've been exposed, you want to break up?
How can there be such a good thing? Do you believe that I won't find the media to expose you? "
Unexpectedly, she actually threatened me. She was already in a bad mood. "Do whatever you want. I want to see if your exposure is faster or if my connections are better. Auntie, your words really hurt my heart. What's the difference between you and an ingrate? When you were targeted by the deputy mayor, who stood up for you?" I said angrily with a straight face.
"Ah, Xiao Zhuang, look at what you're saying. Mom was just too emotional and said something unpleasant."
"Sigh, I only have one daughter, Xiao Mei. I've always hoped that she could live a good life and not follow my old path. It's mom's fault. I've always been strict with you and always wanted to pursue perfection. In this world, how many perfect things can there be? Everyone says that when a girl grows up, it doesn't matter. As long as you treat her well, it doesn't matter if you're a wife or not. Mom saw your sincerity and was quite touched. Since you have other girlfriends, it's not convenient for me and her dad to live there. We're going to wait for a few days and wait for Xiao Mei to recover, then we'll go back to our hometown to live. Don't look at mom's snobbish attitude, I actually love Xiao Mei." My mother-in-law said sincerely. Her face was filled with emotion, as if she had suddenly aged a few years.
I didn't feel good either. I thought about my parents who were far away in my hometown. It was true that my mother-in-law had good intentions. However, her vanity was a bit excessive.
Just like what she said, the two elders' hopes were all on her sister-in-law. In the past, when she married her cousin, their relationship with her uncle had always been bad. Instead, they wanted to see a divorce. It wasn't easy for them to meet a capable son-in-law, so how could she miss it? She even proposed to help her sister-in-law … She was really trying her best.
"Alright, Auntie, thank you for your understanding."
I squeezed out a smile. Actually, I felt a sense of responsibility towards Liu Jie. This little girl loved me to death. I really didn't want to let her down.
That's why my mother-in-law asked me to make a choice between the two, which brought up the sad memories of Liu Yuhan.
That was why I came up with this plan and tricked my mother-in-law. As it turned out, I was very successful. With her personality, if she hadn't discovered the existence of Liu Jie, I was afraid that she would have stayed in Yun City and wouldn't have left. I couldn't just chase them away.
Now that my mother-in-law had taken the initiative to accept it, I didn't have to worry about it anymore. At most, I would have to coordinate my sister-in-law and Liu Jie. I was still capable of that.
"You still call me Auntie? Calling me mother-in-law sounds better," she said with a gloomy expression.
"Hehe, alright. Mother-in-law, it's not easy for you two these years. How about this, I'll give you three hundred thousand renminbi every year. It should be enough for your various expenses." After dealing with my mother-in-law, I was in a good mood, so I didn't mind taking out some material help.
"Haha, that's great. To tell you the truth, her father doesn't even earn tens of thousands of renminbi every year. His health is getting worse day by day. With the pension, he doesn't have to work so hard anymore. All he needs to do is drink tea and play poker every day."
My mother-in-law was overjoyed. In fact, she was afraid of me, so she had this thought. But since I had taken the initiative, it was a different matter.
At this moment, she called my father-in-law over. "Give the bank card number to Xiao Zhuang. He wants to transfer some pension money to us."
"What pension money? Xiao Mei hasn't even talked about marriage with him. It's already too much to accept the villa. You still want money?!"
Sure enough, my father-in-law couldn't help but blame my mother-in-law. With my support, he also straightened his back.
"Oh, I took the initiative. It's not what my mother-in-law wants. Just keep it. Buy whatever you want to eat. Don't be stingy with money." I laughed.
"Did you hear that? This is our son-in-law's filial piety. Old man, you only know how to refuse." My mother-in-law rolled her eyes.
Seeing how firm I was, he had no choice but to accept the money. I could understand my father-in-law's attitude. To put it nicely, it was pension money. But to put it bluntly, it was the money I had given to my sister-in-law, and I would only give it to her parents.
So, it was understandable that my father-in-law didn't want to accept the money. He only had one daughter. If I were her father, I wouldn't want my daughter to be entangled with a man. No matter how much money she had or how much power she had, it wouldn't look good in front of her relatives and friends.
My mother-in-law didn't need to think about this. After receiving the money, she happily told me not to tell Xiao Mei about this for the time being. I didn't want her to be unhappy. I understood what she meant. My sister-in-law didn't like to trouble me. When she was pregnant, she tried to accept my compensation. But now that the child was gone, it was a big blow to her.
