Chapter 31: Chapter 31 The Willing Rich Second-Generation Who Takes on Responsibilities (31)
"Good hit!" Mother Xiao clapped her hands from the side.
She was no longer a wealthy old lady. Her bags and jewelry had all been sold to fill the financial holes, and her life had plummeted from heaven to hell. Mother Xiao had long hated Shi Yunyun to the bone.
"If I'd known you were a jinx, I never would've let A-Yu marry you!"
Mother Xiao firmly believed that Shi Yunyun was the one who had brought ruin to the Xiao Family.
"You killed your own father when you were a child, and now you have caused A-Yu's father to have a stroke and our Xiao Family to go bankrupt. You're nothing but a jinx and a good-for-nothing! Once you give birth to the child, get out!"
If it weren't for Shi Yunyun's pregnancy, Mother Xiao wouldn't have tolerated her this long.
"Mom, I'm not divorcing her."
Xiao Yu took a drag from his cigarette with a cold look in his eyes.
Even though the Xiao Family had collapsed, Shi Yunyun's biological mother is still Mr. Shi's wife. Xiao Yu knew Sun Ting wouldn't just abandon her daughter.
'Doesn't Sun Ting only think cared about her daughter and grandson?'
'That's fine!'
Xiao Yu decided he'd cling to her like a blood-sucking leech, dragging his whole family along to live off her!
"Without her, who's going to support us?"
Xiao Yu crouched in front of Shi Yunyun, and pinched her chin roughly.
"You tell me… aren't you just a bitch? I tried to get a divorce from you in a nice way, but you wanted to talk about the law. Well, thanks to you, now I know all about the divorce cooling-off period."
"Shi Yunyun, you've ruined me and the Xiao Family so badly, so you'll have to spend the rest of your life making up for it. Don't even think about getting away from me."
Mother Xiao quickly caught on to her son's meaning, and seeing Shi Yunyun's pitiful appearance, she spat at her.
"You're right, son. She owes our family. She'll stay here and slave away for us as repayment."
After getting money from Shi Yunyun and tasting the benefits, Xiao Yu began constantly demanding more money. And if she refused, he'd beat her.
She was pregnant, so Xiao Yu avoided hitting her body, but only targeted her face and arms.
At first, Shi Yunyun fought back, but how could she overpower a grown man?
Xiao Yu intimidated her, saying he now had nothing left but his life… And since he didn't care about living anymore, he might as well drag Shi Yunyun and Sun Ting down with him.
Frightened, Shi Yunyun had no choice but to keep asking Sun Ting for money. Starting with a few thousand, then tens of thousands, and eventually even hundreds of thousands.
Sun Ting sensed something was wrong and went to confront Shi Yunyun, only to be shouted at and driven away by Mother Xiao.
But Sun Ting wasn't one to take things lying down and immediately called the police.
In front of the community and women's federation workers, Xiao Yu put on a convincing act, promising to turn over a new leaf and take good care of his wife.
But the moment they left, he called Shi Yunyun's stepfather, Mr. Shi.
Xiao Yu threatened him, saying his life was worthless and he wasn't afraid to die. If Sun Ting dared to call the police again, he couldn't guarantee what kind of revenge he might take against him and the Shi Family.
Mr. Shi and Sun Ting had always been a second marriage, and he had once genuinely loved her gentle, submissive nature, which was why he married Sun Ting.
But now, after Shi Yunyun had caused such a massive scandal and Sun Ting refused to listen to reason, still clinging to her daughter, Mr. Shi's patience had worn thin.
The current Xiao Yu was like a rabid dog, biting anyone within reach. If he really did something insane, Mr. Shi feared he'd regret it too late.
After some thought, he simply divorced Sun Ting.
No matter what, they had been married for years, and though there had been a prenuptial agreement, Mr. Shi wasn't completely heartless. He still left Sun Ting with some real estate and a portion of money.
Sun Ting had initially refused to divorce, but Mr. Shi knew Shi Yunyun was her weak spot. After a mix of harsh and soft words, Sun Ting had no choice but to sign.
When Mingting heard about Sun Ting's divorce, he couldn't help but sigh.
'Too much love spoils the child!'
Shi Yunyun had turned out this way largely because of Sun Ting's indulgence. Of course, the unprincipled and bottom-line indulgence of the Male Supporting Role is also one of the reasons.
Recently, the System had been diligently keeping an eye on Xiao Yu and Shi Yunyun.
It was deeply worried that one day, Xiao Yu might hit her too hard, causing a miscarriage, which would mean Mingting would have to bear part of the unborn child's resentment.
In this regard, Mingting said it was overthinking things.
He knows a lot of entertainment reporters, and after a little arrangement, the news that Xiao Yu, the scumbag, domestically abused his wife became a hot search.
Since Xiao Yu relied on Shi Yunyun and Sun Ting's money to support the Xiao Family, and because Sun Ting kept calling the police and reporting him to the women's federation, he didn't restrict Shi Yunyun's freedom too much.
As a result, Sun Ting took the opportunity to accompany Shi Yunyun for a prenatal checkup and found an entertainment reporter to expose Xiao Yu.
Only after being beaten and suffering real pain did Shi Yunyun finally realize that Sun Ting, her biological mother, was the only one who truly cared for her.
So this time, during the livestream, she followed Sun Ting's instructions completely.
Originally, netizens had already grown thoroughly sick of Shi Yunyun.
This woman had done two livestreams before… the first showcasing her love-struck idiocy and the second was her malicious plagiarism, so nobody liked her.
But when they saw the bruises covering Shi Yunyun's arms in the livestream, the netizens were still angry.
No matter what kind of person Shi Yunyun was, she was a pregnant woman carrying a child. How could Xiao Yu do something like this to her?
Beating one's pregnant wife is something no decent human could tolerate!
The furious netizens pointed their spearheads at Xiao Yu, and the hot search directly topped the list.
Shi Yunyun also apologized to Mingting in the livestream, saying that it was not her original intention to plagiarize, and even said that the later livestream where she framed the small-time artist had all been forced on her by Xiao Yu.
"Mingting, I'm sorry! Even though this apology comes too late, I still want to say it… I've realized my mistakes now. Even if I was pressured, I shouldn't have hurt an innocent like you."
Looking at Shi Yunyun's thin, pale face on the livestream, Mingting sneered coldly.
'So she only learns to behave after getting beaten?'
'Where was this remorse earlier?
'Besides, is this repentance even sincere?'
