Yang Chen nodded and said, "Apart from exchanging one life for another, I’m willing to give everything to save you."
As for money and such, if it’s gone, Yang Chen can earn it back quickly.
He would never sacrifice his own life for anyone, not even Xue Yinong, let alone for his aunt and cousin.
Xue Yinong smiled and nodded, saying, "If it truly requires your life to save me, I won’t let you do it. I’d end it myself. Fine, let’s do it! However, it’s best to bring in a few more partners. Like Qiu Yuhong, Zhang Xiang, and others, the more complex the power, the more the Tang Family will be apprehensive. If it comes down to a showdown in the end, they will hesitate to act rashly."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, "No problem, I’ll talk to them later. At midnight tonight, there’s going to be a big event at the Shield Security Group headquarters. Do you want to come with me to watch?"
Xue Yinong quickly nodded, "Hehe... sure! I love watching shows."
Yang Chen: "Alright! You guys can head back. You should get to Shield Security Group before eleven. I’ll be there around the same time. Qiu Yuhong will prepare wine and dishes for us, and we can enjoy the show upstairs while eating."
Xue Yinong laughed happily, "Alright! It’s settled!"
After sending off Xue Yinong and the others, Yang Chen quickly returned and asked Yu Shishi to come downstairs to make dinner.
After dinner, Yang Chen went out to drive and pick up passengers.
The passengers tonight were pretty nice; everyone was very courteous.
Before he realized it, it was ten o’clock, and Yang Chen was ready to find a ride heading towards Shield Security Group.
After searching through the options, he finally picked a destination near Shield Security Group.
Yang Chen quickly grabbed it and used the navigation to pick up the passenger.
The passengers were a couple, looking not too old, around thirty.
The male passenger looked like he had drunk quite a bit, his face completely red.
The female passenger, on the other hand, looked very angry.
During the first few minutes, the car was silent.
Suddenly, the man, who had his eyes closed, became agitated and exclaimed, "I’m telling you, giving your brother a house and a car worth over three hundred thousand is absolutely impossible! I’m his brother-in-law, not his father."
Woman: "What’s with your tone? He’s my brother, and you’re his brother-in-law, so what makes you say that? He’s my only brother, and now his girlfriend is pregnant with requests for a fully paid three-bedroom house and a car worth no less than thirty thousand before she agrees to marry him. But you know the situation with my parents; even if we sold them both, we couldn’t afford a house and car. I’m their daughter, and you’re their son-in-law, so shouldn’t you share the responsibility? My parents raised me for over twenty years, and I married you without asking for any dowry. Now they’re in trouble, so shouldn’t you help? If you said you couldn’t, I wouldn’t bring it up. But your family’s house is about to be demolished, and you’ll get five houses. Why can’t you give my brother one?"
Man: "Honey, I know you married me without asking for a dowry, and I really appreciate it. I’ve always loved you and treated you well. But aren’t you aware of how much a house in Hai City costs? It’s millions. Plus a car worth no less than thirty thousand, we can’t even come up with thirty thousand with everything we own combined. What are you thinking?"
Woman: "Then just keep three houses and exchange the other two for cash compensation, isn’t that doable?"
Man: "Oh man, why don’t you get it? It’s not about how many houses, it’s about how much you’re giving. The most I can accept is paying the down payment for him and buying a car around ten thousand. That’s all I can offer as a brother-in-law. If he’s still unsatisfied, then don’t ask for anything."
Woman: "If that’s the way it’s going to be, then we’ll have to divorce. I can split the assets and still give my brother a house and a car. Think it over yourself. Do you want to give it to him willingly or end up with nothing."
Man: "What if my family didn’t have the demolition plans? If we didn’t have houses and cash, would your brother not get married?"
Woman: "There’s no ’what if.’ The fact is your family’s house is about to be demolished, and you have these things, so you have to give them. He’s my only brother, so I have to look out for him."
The man stared blankly at his wife, who was gazing out the window, presumably feeling as if his heart had frozen over at that moment.
Her words were infuriating. Yang Chen had only seen such cases online before, not expecting to encounter one in real life.
Yang Chen laughed and said, "Brother, divorce is a good option; isn’t this like receiving double the joy? Congratulations, congratulations! If you need a lawyer, I can recommend one for you. That big internet-famous lawyer Zhang Xiang, he handled a case for me before, and I can introduce him to you. Since the house belongs to your parents, it has nothing to do with your wife. Divorce now is beneficial for you. Three major blessings for a man: promotion, getting rich, and the wife passing away. Now the initiative is in your hands; why act so passively? A woman who truly loves you and wants to spend her life with you would never behave so unreasonably and pressure you like this. If she doesn’t love you, why waste your time and emotions on her? You both look young, with life still ahead. Make the decision now to avoid future chaos."
Oh?
Listening to Yang Chen’s words, the man’s eyes instantly brightened, saying, "Brother, with your analysis, I’m enlightened all of a sudden. My parents’ old house is being demolished, and I don’t even qualify to get a piece of it, so why should she get one? Haha... Chen Min, what did you just say? You want to divorce me, don’t you?"
