chapter 10 wishful thinking

After I sat down, my father-in-law said straight to the point, "We all know about you and Weiwei. Jay Carter, you are also serious. Why did you say that Weiwei cheated on me based on unfounded facts? And you even beat me." My wife, what is your responsibility as a man? That’s not what you promised me when I married my daughter to you!"

I understand, this is the time to call for punishment.

I guess Alonzo Gibson went back to tell them, and now the whole family is here to give me political lessons.

When my father-in-law saw that I was silent, he thought I was in the wrong, so he continued, "You are not young anymore. You are thirty this year, right? You have been married to Weiwei for six years. Can you not know who she is? I know." You are under great pressure now, but that is not a reason for you to beat your wife.”

I nodded, not wanting to say anything, because the whole family was here, and no matter how much I tried to quibble, it would be useless.

Then they scolded me all the time. Anyway, they just kept teaching me to show some responsibility as a man and asked me to give my wife enough trust.

In fact, after we got married, I trusted her enough that I would never peek at her phone or ask about her private information.

Because I know that even couples should have their own private space. This is the minimum respect for each other.

But Sophie Gibson didn't respect me at all. I don't know when her cheating started. I just found out about it.

But now I don’t have enough evidence, and I don’t want to make the situation so ugly, so I can only hold back for the time being.

In the evening, my mother-in-law prepared a meal and the family gathered around the table.

My father-in-law brought wine himself. He poured it for Alonzo Gibson and me, and then said to Alonzo Gibson, "Akun, bring some wine to your brother-in-law to apologize!"

I was stunned for a moment before I realized that it was because of what happened yesterday.

But what kind of medicine is this father-in-law selling in his gourd?

You were scolding me just now, and now you're treating me nice again?

Alonzo Gibson picked up the wine glass coquettishly, stretched it towards me with a smile, and said, "Brother-in-law, what happened yesterday was because I was impulsive. You know I'm just a rough guy. Don't take it to heart. We are all the same." As a family, please forgive me.”

The wife also echoed, "Yes, husband, my brother is worried about me, so just forgive him!"

Even the mother-in-law also spoke up and said, "Xiao Lin, our A-Kun is a hothead. He is so impulsive just because of Weiwei, so don't argue with him."

Good guy, what is this family going to do?

Not since I went bankrupt have they been so polite to me, toasting me, and saying nice things.

This reminds me of the way my family fawned over me when I was in my glory years, just like now.

I'm not stupid either, I'll understand when I see them like this.

Sure enough, money can make all the difference. During the past year and a half since I was bankrupt, their family looked at me like I was a piece of trash every time I came here.

Now I guess I heard from my wife that my house was going to be demolished, and she started to please me again.

No need to think about it, it must be like this, otherwise how could they suddenly be so flattering?

This family really eats people without spitting out their bones! This is trying to hollow me out!

I can't drink this wine. Drinking it means that I have accepted Alonzo Gibson's thanks. Then they will strike while the iron is hot and kidnap me morally with just a few words.

So I smiled, pushed away the wine glass Alonzo Gibson handed me, and said, "Forget it, apologise. There is no overnight feud between the family."

After I pushed the wine glass away, Alonzo Gibson face became a little ugly. He didn't know what to do for a moment, so he turned to his father-in-law for help.

The father-in-law was a shrewd man, and he immediately said, "My son-in-law is right. Not only do the families not have an overnight feud, they will also help each other, right?"

I smiled bitterly in my heart, have we finally gotten to the point?

I stopped hiding it and said directly, "Dad, if you have anything to do, just tell me!"

The father-in-law glanced at his mother-in-law and motioned for her to speak.

So the mother-in-law immediately said, "Since you said so, let's just say it! A Kun and his girlfriend have recently discussed getting married. We are thinking of buying him a house as a wedding room. Isn't this a little money? , so let’s talk to you.”

I asked jokingly, "What's the difference?"

"Only one million."

Listening to this tone, one million seems so insignificant to them!

I spread my hands and said, "I don't have so many!"

At this time, the wife couldn't hold it in any longer and finally said, "Why didn't you? Didn't you say last time that the demolition of your hometown would cost more than one million yuan in compensation?"

"Yes, but I haven't even written the horoscope yet!"

The wife then said, "Then we can sell this house first. I asked the agent today and said that our house is still worth 1.8 million...and then when the demolition money comes down, we can mortgage another house." .”

Oops! This wishful thinking is well done, wonderfully done!

Let me sell this fully paid house to buy a house for that bastard Alonzo Gibson, and then use the demolition money to mortgage the house. Is there anyone in the world who does this kind of business?

I stopped talking nonsense to them, waved my hand and said, "I'm not going to touch this money. It belongs to my mother. I have to leave it to her for her retirement."

Alonzo Gibson had a bad temper. He suddenly dropped the cup in his hand and shouted at me, "Jay Carter, don't think I don't know. Weiwei told me that you want to use this money to start a company... You Do you think you are still the same person as before? Please, times are different now!"

I glanced at my wife, and she deliberately avoided my gaze.

I was so angry that my wife really wanted to kill me!

Why is her heart so cruel?

But this scene is what I want. The sooner we break up, the better. I’m really not in the mood to say another word to this family of worms.

I also directly showed my cards and said, "I made it clear that I will not take out this money. There is no need to discuss it. If you can, just put a knife to my neck and rob me."

After saying that, I got up and went back to the bedroom.

This rather sumptuous dinner ended unhappily.

They probably didn't expect that I, who had become submissive after going bankrupt, suddenly became so tough.

Through the bedroom door, I could still hear the voices of my mother-in-law and Alonzo Gibson cursing outside.

I put on my headphones and turned a deaf ear. I don’t know how long it took, but the bedroom door was opened.

I turned around and saw my wife walking in.

I thought she was also here to scold me, but I didn't expect that she sat next to me, with a faint fragrance from her body just after taking a bath.

"Husband, don't be angry with my parents. They have already left... Let's not talk about the demolition payment."

My wife sat next to me and said softly to me.

"Yeah." I replied calmly while smoking.

"Husband, stop smoking, smoke me..." After saying that, my wife sat directly on my lap.

I looked at her coldly, didn't push her away, and didn't react in any way.

Normally I would have pushed her down on the bed, but now I really don't have any thoughts about her at all.

Seeing that I didn't push her away, my wife moved closer to me.

At the same time, he blew into my ear and said softly, "My son is already asleep..."
