Chapter 250 Choose 2 from 1
Chu Xiao looked at the mother and daughter opposite him with a calm and composed expression.
My mother's reputation, and my own future.
I wonder what choice Chu Ci will make?
Chu Ci hadn't spent much time with his half-brother since childhood, and the only label he had for him was that of someone who would steal the family fortune.
Therefore, as long as it doesn't involve family property and Kinder, she doesn't care about anything related to Chu Xiao.
Huang Xiu'e, however, was not as at ease as her daughter, and twisted and turned as if there were nails pricking her buttocks on the chair.
Chu Xiao's deep, venomous eyes stared at her, and the scenes from the depths of her memory replayed one by one.
"You don't deserve to be called Mom. My mom isn't you."
“One day, my dad will find out you’re a thief, that you’re two-faced.”
"You can only hit me and imprison me now. When I grow up, I'll kill you."
kill you!
kill you!
Huang Xiue felt a chill on her neck, as if a cold, venomous snake was coiled around her neck, about to suffocate her.
Huang Xiu'e's breathing quickened; she just wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, so she impatiently urged them on.
"Just tell me what's on your mind, I have other things to do!"
"Busy playing mahjong?" Chu Xiao's lips curled into a faint smile that sent chills down one's spine.
As he finished speaking, a stack of photos was thrown on the table.
Just as Chu Ci was examining the photo closely, Chu Xiao spoke up.
“You were at your friend’s mahjong parlor during the time your grandmother went out, had an accident, and was taken back to the hospital by ambulance.”
Huang Xiu'e instinctively reached out and pulled all the photos back into her bag, afraid that passersby or other customers in the store would see her playing cards.
Chu Xiao kindly reminded me: "This is a printed copy. I have an electronic version; feel free to take it."
Her hatred for Chu Xiao reached its peak; her teeth were grinding together. "What exactly do you want?"
Chu Xiao picked up his coffee cup, took a small sip, and the sour taste, along with the aroma of almonds, filled his mouth.
He didn't care about Huang Xiu'e's exhausted patience and frantic state.
The more anxious the enemy is, the closer he is to success.
After swallowing a sip of coffee, Chu Xiao put down the cup and said unhurriedly:
"Don't rush. Now that you're out, enjoy your afternoon tea. I wonder how long you can have this leisurely time?"
Having recently experienced too many changes, Huang Xiue, who was already feeling guilty, instantly understood Chu Xiao's words.
"You...you...you're not lying to me!"
Chu Xiao merely curled his lips into a smile.
Huang Xiu'e added, "Your father promised me that he wouldn't pursue the matter if I got a divorce."
"Hahaha..." Chu Xiao laughed out loud, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
The laughter wasn't hearty; it was more like a haunting melody, sending chills down one's spine.
Chu Xiao sneered, "You've been lying your whole life, and all you've got is a silver tongue! The person you've fooled your whole life suddenly got smart and you didn't even notice."
what!
Chu Xiao meant that Chu Jinhuai tricked her into getting a divorce, and then turned around and bit her!
If that's the case, she'll definitely go to jail.
Because she had confessed to Chu Jinhuai that she had abused the old woman to death.
Huang Xiue was terrified; she didn't want to go to prison.
Thinking of this, Huang Xiu'e's tears fell in a steady stream, making her look quite pitiful.
"Xiao Ci, please help your mother. He clearly promised, you heard it too."
Looking at the person who had bullied him when he was young and had no power to fight back, now looking so vulnerable, Chu Xiao felt no pleasure in taking revenge.
Once, he was simply too weak.
Now, he has grown up; he can protect himself and has become someone who protects others.
Bad people must also be punished.
Chu Ci sat there like an outsider, remaining silent, trying to analyze what Chu Xiao was trying to do.
I'm getting annoyed by my mom's crying.
Even though she was annoyed, she didn't show it on her face at all.
She didn't want her work to be affected by her mother's situation every few days; she just wanted a permanent solution. "Name your terms."
"No, you choose."
Chu Xiao lowered his eyes and pushed the two leather bags in front of Chu Ci.
"Give up your shares in Kinder, or your mother goes to jail. It's one of two choices."
hum~
Chu Ci snorted coldly.
Trying to sow discord between her here.
Chu Ci glanced lightly at the items on the table. "Don't try to fool me. My mother didn't abuse Grandma. You won't achieve your goal."
She's experienced in negotiation.
But Chu Xiao never fights a battle unprepared, so he came prepared.
"Understood, you choose Kinder's equity."
In short, Huang Xiu'e was terrified, her face turning ashen.
If Chu Xiao really wants her to go to jail, she definitely won't be able to escape.
However, Chu Xiao would let his daughter go as long as she gave up her shares in Kinder.
Huang Xiue's eyes lit up; all her hopes were pinned on her daughter beside her.
She glanced to the side and saw that Chu Ci remained unmoved.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she tightly gripped Chu Ci's hand. "Xiao Ci, help Mommy. You're all I have left. If you don't help Mommy, you'll lose her, lose the Mommy who loves you the most."
“How can I help you? My shares were part of my dowry when I got married, and it was agreed upon by the four of you adults. Now that I’m married into the family, these shares are no longer something I can decide on my own.”
Chu Ciai was unable to help, and his sadness was evident in his expression.
It's all an act, all an act.
But what can she do even if she knows?
"Xiao Ci, your mother has been by your side since you were little. You can't treat your mother like this. People will say you're unfilial. Your mother has sacrificed so much for you. Now that she needs you, how can you abandon your mother!"
Huang Xiu'e played the victim, hoping to soften Chu Ci's heart and make him give up his shares in Kinder.
However, Chu Ci sat upright and showed no intention of helping her.
Chu Jinhuai withdrew the case and did not pursue the matter further; she had already signed the divorce agreement.
In the division of the property, she only received a small amount of money from Chu Jinhuai.
As for the shares and real estate, they were not acquired by Chu Jinhuai after their marriage, so they are not considered marital property and she did not receive any of them.
Because money alone wouldn't be of much help to his daughter.
Now, between her and the shares, her daughter is determined to choose equity.
Since her daughter doesn't care about her, she doesn't need to care about anything her daughter does.
"Fine, I'll pretend I never had a daughter like you. Our mother-daughter relationship ends here!"
“Your in-laws care most about your reputation. I’d like to see if you can have a good time with a mother who’s been in jail.”
Chu Ci knew that what her mother said was not a threat.
The reason why the husband's family business has been able to achieve what it is today is largely due to the efforts of the eldest brother and sister-in-law in promoting the idea of five generations living together in harmony.
It was precisely because of the marketing of health and longevity to the elderly that her husband's family's business was so successful.
If her in-laws found out that she had severed ties with her mother, and that her mother had gone to jail, it would be a disaster.
Forget about keeping Kinder's shares; her marriage is the first thing to be in jeopardy.
She didn't want to give up her shares, and even less did she want her mother to affect her plans to become a female CEO.
But now, it seems everything has changed.
How should I choose? Is there a way to have the best of both worlds?
