Chapter 131: Chapter 135: The Phoenix Man Creature (17)

Regardless of whether Su Qing was willing or not, when the time came, she was sent away by people from the Su Family.

Meanwhile, Zheng Zhanpeng had been waiting at home for some good news from his wife, but after several days, there had been no news at all.

Even the whereabouts of mother and daughter, Su Qing, were not found.

Calls couldn’t get through, and when he went to besiege the Su Family, he didn’t even make it past the security booth at the base of the hill.

Stubborn Zheng Zhanpeng mobilized his whole family to cause a scene at the Su Group’s building. The result was they got beaten up and thrown out.

But he wouldn’t give up. Su Qing wouldn’t be able to shake him off. After all, they were legally married and even had a child together. If she wanted to enjoy the riches alone, he would need to agree.

Zheng Zhanpeng simply thought that Su Qing had taken the child back to the Su Family to enjoy their fortune, which naturally upset him.

The few people who weren’t seriously injured returned to their tiny rented room to find the door plastered with notices from the landlord demanding overdue rent. Zheng Zhanpeng’s fury, unable to erupt, could only watch as his parents continued to grimly spout filthy words about Su Qing. He took a step forward and yelled at Shi Erxiu.

He bellowed, "I told you to treat her better, but you just wouldn’t listen. Now you’ve driven my wife and child away, what are you going to do about that..."

Shi Erxiu was so frightened by the shouting that she reflexively countered, "No, I didn’t... I never even made her get out of bed to work, how could I have been unkind to her..."

The more Shi Erxiu spoke, the quieter and more guilty she sounded.

The thought of the wealth that was about to be his having flown away made Zheng Zhanpeng unbearably distressed.

If he had never gotten a taste of it before, it might have been better; he could have slowly consoled himself, telling himself it wasn’t his fate. But he had seen what life was like for the high and mighty, envied by all, with red wine and sports cars, designer watches and shoes...

Su Qing had even let him enjoy it before. But losing it so suddenly was especially unbearable.

Zheng Zhanpeng couldn’t help feeling regretful to the core.

He had seen the neglect and harsh words his parents and sister had for his wife and daughter. It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen it; it was just... just that disappointment had blinded him.

Qingqing... she should understand, how could she just disappear with the child? After all, the child was so young, she couldn’t just leave without a father.

Now, Shi Erxiu felt more miserable than ever before. Not only was her son accusing her, but her daughters—who had heard their affluent brother was tired of them—also looked at their mother with disdain, no longer obedient as they always had been.

Zheng Youli sucked on his dry pipe, his typical hardworking farmer’s face also full of disgust for his wife.

He felt that his foolish wife had ruined their son’s bright future.

It was clear that the whole family had neglected and mistreated their daughter-in-law and granddaughter. How could it have all become her fault alone? Shi Erxiu couldn’t figure it out. She wanted to retort, but the old man’s glare scared her into shivering. Memories of being beaten down in the past came flooding back, making her too afraid to speak up.

She might have had a commanding presence in the household, where everyone listened to her, but before giving birth to Zheng Zhanpeng, she had been the one scolded and beaten from morning till night by her mother-in-law and husband.

Only after giving birth to this precious son did she gain her current status as a meritorious member of the family. But that stern look in her husband’s eyes, and the force of his blows that had once cowed her, were still vividly etched in her memory, frightening her even in remembrance.

Because of this, she looked even less kindly on Su Qing, who had run away at the slightest grievance. Which married woman hadn’t been hit by her man at some point? She thought of her daughter-in-law as treated quite well by her son, who had never even touched a hair on her head.

"Well, the most important thing now is to bring back our daughter-in-law and granddaughter..." Zheng Youli spoke with finality, and no one said another word, "Zhanpeng, you and your sisters go keep watch at the Su Family’s house and the Su Group’s office starting tomorrow. I refuse to believe that Su Qing won’t return home." freeweɓnøvel.com

The Zheng Family was anxious and frustrated in their search for Su Qing, while the Jiang Family was similarly engulfed in nonstop quarrels over her matter.

"You see, I told you not to lend out the money, now there’s no way to get it back. Su Li, that woman, despite her age, has gone and had a son..."

"Now that she has a son, she won’t care about Su Qing anymore. I fear that everything she had done before was just smoke and mirrors, making her daughter suffer a little, surely to clear the path for her son..."

"How could this woman be so cruel... She’s really planning on leaving not a single penny of the inheritance to Su Qing."

The Jiang Family was also surprised to learn that the Su Group had a new heir, and panic ensued.

They still remembered the one hundred thousand they had lent out, and now there was little hope that Su Qing could pay it back.

Jiang Tao couldn’t help but complain angrily to his wife.

Xu Baifeng had not expected that Su Li, that woman, would have a son at her old age.

With a son, what was the point in having a daughter...

Xu Baifeng didn’t bother arguing with Jiang Tao anymore and quickly pulled out her phone, pushing it in front of him, "Call your daughter right away and tell her to repay the money."

After several unanswered calls, Xu Baifeng snatched the phone back, "Then call her husband. The IOU was signed by both of them."

Zheng Zhanpeng had forgotten about this matter until the Jiang Family came knocking, which jogged his memory of the debt.

He had almost used up the ten thousand, spending all his savings on a bracelet not long ago and hadn’t regarded this sum seriously because he believed that Su Qing would resolve it, but now...

"This money was borrowed by Su Qing, what does it have to do with me." Now that Su Qing was missing, Zheng Zhanpeng was adamant about not acknowledging the debt.

That really hit a nerve with Xu Baifeng, "Don’t you deny it. It’s in black and white, both your names and fingerprints are there. Don’t think about denying it; otherwise, I’ll see you in court."

Zheng Zhanpeng valued his reputation and the prospect of going to court was daunting: how could he face anyone after that? His tone softened, "Now Qingqing’s mother must have forgiven her, but she’s avoiding me, and I don’t understand why she’s upset with me... Once she’s back, I’ll have her repay you, okay..."

Upon hearing this news, Xu Baifeng was suddenly invigorated, confident that a mother wouldn’t neglect her child.

Laughing heartily, she hurried Jiang Tao along, "Get in touch with your daughter right away; she has money now."

Su Qing, the subject of many people’s concerns, had moved into a house in the Western District and had enjoyed a few days of rare tranquility and leisure.

The house was bought well, the security was excellent, and the neighborhood was nicely developed. On sunny days, Su Qing liked to take the child downstairs for a walk.

The nanny hired by the Su Family was very professional, and Su Qing hardly had to worry about her child, who was taken care of impeccably. She only needed to focus on recovering from the inadequate postpartum care she received.

She didn’t have to think about anything, as all expenses, including the nanny’s wages, were fully paid by the Su Family.

Although sometimes her thoughts would turn to bitterness and resentment, Su Qing would just let them pass. She didn’t dare make a fuss anymore.

She was no longer alone now. She had her daughter to consider.

She was afraid that if she continued to compete with her baby brother, whom she envied, she might be completely shunned by others and ruin even her current life.

Thinking back to the time she spent away from home, she could distinctly recall the darkness and sense of hopelessness.
