Chapter 23 Sister-in-law, listen to my excuses!
"Chen Le, I don't care where your money comes from or what shady things you've done. I just hope you won't drag my parents down with you or spend it on me and Xin Xin."
"When you come here again, don't bring anything. We don't want it."
As she spoke, Su Xi took out 20,000 yuan in cash from her bag and stuffed it directly into Chen Le's hand.
Chen Le gave a bitter smile.
This 20,000 yuan was the money Chen Le gave to his parents-in-law.
Now, it has been returned to Su Xi intact.
This shows that the two elders didn't dare to accept it at all, and were filled with anxiety and fear...
"Su Xi, this money is for my parents. And... it's clean, it definitely wasn't won gambling!"
Can't you trust me just this once?
Holding the cash, Chen Le spoke with difficulty.
"Believe you? Ha..."
"Chen Le, I trusted you for seven years, but what did I get in return?"
"It's your malicious intent to hurt our daughter that's so cruel and heartless!"
"You want to ruin her life! Why should I believe you now?"
"I'm raising my child alone now, and I still have to work to pay off debts. What more do you want..."
"What sins did I commit in my past life that you must see me die in front of you before you're satisfied..."
"Chen Le, I beg you, have some compassion and spare me and Xin Xin. Also, please stop harassing my parents. They've already suffered enough; they've lost their pensions and are living on rotten vegetables every day..."
"Please stop scaring them, please..."
At this point, Su Xi could no longer control her emotions, and tears streamed down her face.
The grievances and anger in my heart flowed like a river bursting its banks.
But she regretted it.
He was afraid of angering Chen Le.
This will cause the guy to lose his humanity again and take his anger out on his daughter.
"I'm sorry, Chen Le, I didn't say anything just now..."
Su Xi suddenly lost all strength, wiped away her tears, and knelt down.
She was most afraid that Chen Le would continue to pester her and try to take her daughter's corneas again.
She didn't want her daughter to suffer any more harm.
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Le's eyes widened, and his heart felt as if it were being brutally crushed by a pair of giant hands.
He gritted his teeth and chose to remain silent.
They gently pulled Su Xi up from the ground.
He knew that explaining any further would only make Su Xi more frightened and wary.
Even if he changed in any way, to Su Xi, it was all a disguise.
In these seven years, she has experienced far too much deception and torment!
I have long since lost all trust in myself.
"Get up, I'm not angry, I really am not angry."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll keep the money."
Chen Le took a deep breath, his voice choked with emotion.
"Chen Le, take your things and go back too. Xin Xin needs to take a nap."
Is that okay?
Su Xi pleaded.
His eyes were filled with fear and hatred.
Now that she has to go to work, she doesn't dare let Chen Le spend time alone with her daughter anymore.
Chen Le gave a sad smile, could only nod, picked up his things, and walked outside.
His figure appeared so desolate and forlorn.
Chen Le slapped himself hard across the face.
Even though he already has a net worth of millions.
But in front of Su Xi and her daughter, he was a sinner who could never redeem himself!
Su Xi caught up with him, her eyes filled with complicated emotions, and said, "Chen Le, you... go back and visit your parents when you have time. They came yesterday."
"If you really make money, don't just give it to me and Xin Xin, send more back to your parents!"
"They know about my divorce from you."
"The elderly couple has had a very difficult time, and this incident has been a huge blow to them."
Upon hearing this, Chen Le nodded blankly.
Like being struck by lightning.
He looked completely lost and dejected.
Just thinking about how my parents traveled all night by train to see their granddaughter with such joy!
But she discovered that her son was already divorced.
For the elderly couple, this was akin to a comet hitting the Earth.
Chen Le couldn't even imagine how his parents endured the journey home.
Chen Le arrived at the entrance of the residential area, where a van stopped in front of him.
Zhang Zihao, wearing a floral shirt, a large gold chain, and a watch, swaggered down the street.
"Ah Le, I've brought you all the 600,000 you wanted!"
Zhang Zihao laughed and waved his hand.
Instantly, his henchman carrying a bag of money rushed over to Chen Le.
Chen Le suddenly woke up with a start.
He instinctively turned around.
Su Xi... is right behind me!
At this moment, the coldness on her face was replaced by numbness.
"Chen Le, this is how you make money, isn't it..."
"Hehehe... loan sharks."
"Thank you for thinking it through!"
"Even if Xin Xin and I scrimped and saved for a month, it wouldn't be enough to cover the interest on your loan..."
"I knew it all along. There's no way someone like you could ever change. You're like a leopard that can't stop eating shit!"
Su Xi's voice was trembling, and she suddenly felt the world go dark.
Six hundred thousand!
The previous debts haven't been fully repaid...
He borrowed another 600,000...
Even after the divorce, she felt that Chen Le was still haunted by evil spirits.
My life is truly going to be ruined by this scoundrel...
Chen Le opened his mouth, wanting to explain.
But when he saw the way Su Xi looked at him, his smile turned into a bitter one.
I'm afraid Su Xi won't believe anything I say now.
Zhang Zihao was also stunned.
Seeing Su Xi angrily turn and leave.
He then realized what was happening!
"Damn, this misunderstanding has gotten really big!"
"Ah Le, I'll go explain to you, don't worry!"
After Zhang Zihao finished speaking, he turned around and chased after Su Xi.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't go yet! Let me explain!"
"My debts with Ah Le have long been settled!"
"This 600,000 yuan is not a loan with high interest rates; it's just a money transfer between friends!"
Seeing Zhang Zihao catch up, Su Xi instinctively took two steps back.
They were watching the other person with great vigilance!
Zhang Zihao naturally exudes a gangster aura, and coupled with his identity as a loan shark boss, he is an extremely dangerous figure in the eyes of ordinary people!
"Mr. Zhang, I will only repay the portion of the money Chen Le borrowed that I was responsible for after our divorce."
"I'm not going to listen to this nonsense you're telling me."
Su Xi said nervously.
"Sister-in-law, no, no, no, you mustn't do that. I just wanted to clear up a misunderstanding."
"You don't know yet, do you? Ah Le is already a millionaire..."
"Huh? He didn't tell you?"
"You weren't planning to surprise me, were you...?"
Zhang Zihao scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"what?"
"Worth a millionaire!"
Su Xi was stunned when she heard this.
For her, ten thousand yuan is an astronomical figure!
One million is too far away...
She had no concept of such a huge number.
However, she was certain that this had nothing to do with Chen Le.
Zhang Zihao was stunned, and almost jumped up in anger.
"Damn, looks like Ah Le really didn't tell you!"
"That's where this kid's problem lies!"
"You're a mother, after all, uh..."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. He hasn't gone astray, he hasn't gambled, and he hasn't been fooling around with other women. We've been together these past few days, I swear."
"Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand. My brother, A-Le, doesn't need to gamble at all. He makes money much faster than he wins gambling. Even robbing a bank might not be as fast as him making money, haha."
Zhang Zihao patted his chest and grinned as he spoke.
