Chapter 81: 4 against 1, Qin Yanlin suffers a complete defeat.
"It's not like you can't afford it. If you're not going to offer anything, what's the point of talking properly? If you don't want to talk, then get out of here and stop loitering around me. I find you an eyesore!" Deng Xiuzhen went into the kitchen.
"It's not that I won't give it to you, but think about it, my company needs to expand and I need funds. Giving out two million at once is a bit difficult for me." Qin Yanlin suppressed his anger and followed him into the kitchen.
"I want two million. Give it to me if you want, or I'll take you to the company tomorrow. It's our company, and I own half of it. Even if we get divorced, I still want half," Deng Xiuzhen said expressionlessly, completely ignoring Qin Yanlin's complaints.
"You! What's wrong with you? You're going to the company? What are you going to do there? What will you do? Can you manage anything?" Qin Yanlin's voice rose again.
"Whether she can manage or not is her business. She owns half of the company, and she has the right to decide how to handle that half!"
The sudden interruption made Qin Yanlin even angrier. He turned around abruptly, ready to lash out, but found Wen Jing standing there, coldly watching him.
“Wenjing, that’s not what I meant. I meant your mother isn’t good at management, which is detrimental to the company’s development…”
"The company originally belonged to my mother, so why can't she use the money?"
"If she can't control the company's money, then isn't the company just yours? What does its development have to do with her? You control the company, so why should she support it?" Wenjing interrupted Qin Yanlin.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't say anything, but she secretly praised him and felt deeply comforted. This child was really excellent; every word he said hit the nail on the head.
"If the company develops, it will be good for you too. Won't all the money you earn be yours in the future?" Qin Yanlin felt a mouthful of blood rise to his throat, but he forced it back down.
“If you really want what’s best for us, then give the money to Mom. We feel like our money is our own with Mom, but it’s not safe with you!” Wenjing said calmly, but her tone was very unfriendly.
“Yes! The money should be kept with Mom!” Wen Yu chimed in.
“Dad, all the money Mom earned from the shop was given to you. Without Mom’s money, your company wouldn’t have been able to start. Logically speaking, that company should belong to Mom.” Wenxin always spoke softly.
Four against one, Qin Yanlin suffered a complete defeat.
He had to promise to find a way to raise the money and send it to them tomorrow.
"Then go and raise the money now, and come back when you've raised it all," Deng Xiuzhen finally said.
Qin Yanlin looked at the three children, hoping they could put in a good word for him.
"Dad, you should go and raise the money quickly," Wenjing said.
"Dad, I believe you can raise the money today, keep it up!" Wenxin chimed in.
"Dad, if you can raise the money today, I'll believe you're earning it for us," Wen Yu added.
Qin Yanlin didn't say anything, waved his hand, and turned to leave.
He was very annoyed: Just a few days ago, the family was very affectionate when they met, and the children all liked him so much. How did things suddenly turn out like this?
It's all that Qi Guomin's fault! If he hadn't been so nosy and gone to our house to complain, our family wouldn't have known he had an affair, Deng Xiuzhen wouldn't have spoken so sarcastically, and he wouldn't have gotten angry or argued with her...
Two million isn't too difficult. Just delay paying Qi Guomin's material costs, that should be enough. Yes, that's what we'll do! Let's teach him a lesson and see if he'll ever complain again!
Having made up his mind, Qin Yanlin hurried to the company.
Shortly after Qin Yanlin left, Tian Guoqiang arrived.
"Uncle Tian, you're here," Wen Yu greeted him warmly.
"Where's your mother?" Tian Guoqiang put the fruit he was holding on the table, patted Wen Yu's head, and went straight to the kitchen to find Deng Xiuzhen.
"Why are you here?" Deng Xiuzhen asked, gesturing for Wenjing to bring over a stool.
"We've finished asking the questions. I wanted to ask you if you noticed anything unusual that day?" Tian Guoqiang said as he sat down.
"Didn't I already say that this afternoon?" Deng Xiuzhen continued working.
“Now I have this feeling that if I can’t solve a case, I’ll go to you and you’ll definitely find some answers,” Tian Guoqiang said with a smile.
Deng Xiuzhen glanced at Wenjing, who then got up and left with Wenxin and Wenyu.
"To be honest, I did notice something was off that day."
Tian Guoqiang's eyes lit up as he listened, but he didn't interrupt.
“Last night I choked and coughed with my head down. Then I saw someone wearing red shoes. It felt really strange, so I looked up and saw a figure from behind. I wasn’t sure who it was. Today, didn’t you let Yao Huaying’s husband, Fang Tiancheng, in? Then I saw the red shoes, and the figure from behind looked just like him.”
"You mean Fang Tiancheng ran out of the house last night?" Tian Guoqiang asked.
“I’m not sure, but I did see red shoes last night, and I saw them again this morning,” Deng Xiuzhen replied.
After pondering for a while, Tian Guoqiang asked Deng Xiuzhen if she had found anything else. Deng Xiuzhen replied no, and he got up and left.
"Mom, is there a problem with what happened last night when you got angry?" Wenjing asked.
Wenxin and Wenyu watched with expectant expressions.
"Some people died in the fire last night, and the police want to know the cause of the fire." After a pause, Deng Xiuzhen continued, "In the future, please be careful when using fire and electricity. Water and fire are merciless, so please be careful!"
The children nodded repeatedly.
Upon hearing that Qin Yanlin was going to take two million, Li Yuan quickly and secretly informed Tian Yutong.
"Yanlin, what are you going to do with so much money?" Tian Yutong rushed over and asked in a coquettish voice.
Qin Yanlin glanced back but didn't say anything. He felt a little annoyed; it was none of the secretary's business how he spent his money.
"Yanlin~" Tian Yutong snuggled up to Qin Yanlin.
"Stop fooling around, I have important business to attend to." Qin Yanlin said, but his arm was wrapped around Tian Yutong.
"Is there something important? Did you get scammed?" Tian Yutong pouted and rubbed her head against Qin Yanlin's chest.
"No, it's my wife who wants the money," Qin Yanlin explained.
"What does she need so much money for?" Tian Yutong's voice changed. Li Yuan said he could guarantee her a promotion, and she quickly and smoothly got into Qin Yanlin's bed. She even felt like she was about to become Mrs. Qin.
When someone suddenly came to collect money, and demanded two million, she felt it was her money being taken, and it pained her greatly.
Qin Yanlin gave her a strange look and said, "There was a big fire last night. The shops in our alley burned down and need to be rebuilt. She and her child still have living expenses."
"You don't need that many, do you?"
“She deserves credit for this company, and I have to support her if she needs money. We're a couple, so we should support each other.” Qin Yanlin was embarrassed to say that he was being threatened by his wife and children.
"You'll give her whatever she asks for?" Tian Yutong asked, looking aggrieved.
"What does it matter to you how much I need?" Qin Yanlin sensed something was wrong.
