Chapter 2269: Return “Home”

Editor: Atlas Studios

“Divorce! Why did you get a divorce! Did the Huang family give you anything?” Tan Shi stood up and asked agitatedly.

“I left with nothing. What will they give me? It’s alright though, I still have money of my own. After some time, I’ll open a shop and live well,” Tan Jing said, pretending to be relaxed.

“That’s good…” Tan Shi heaved a sigh of relief. The reason why their family was doing well now was all because of Tan Jing. If he should lose Tan Jing as a support, then Liu Cui would divorce him!

When he married Liu Cui, he had spent 1,000 dollars on the betrothal money, television, radio and Phoenix brand bicycle!

“It’s getting late. I’ll get going first. I’ll come back tomorrow,” Tan Jing said.

“I’ll talk to Father and Mother! We should all have a good meal at their place tomorrow!” Tan Shi said.

“Sure.” Tan Jing smiled and left Tan Shi’s house.

Since the prey had taken the bait, she had achieved her goal for the day.

Liu Cui walked out of the kitchen with the dishes. She grabbed Tan Shi and asked, “Why has Elder Sister left? Isn’t she staying for dinner? Did you offend her?”

“She still has business to take care of in the city. She’s a very busy person,” Tan Shi said proudly.

Liu Cui knew about Tan Jing’s high profile marriages. When Tan Jing married into the Xia family, the Tan family could not wait to let the entire capital know about it. Everyone had thought that Tan Jing could only marry a local boor after her divorce, but who would have thought that she would marry into the Huang family! That was also a prominent family! Everyone looked at the Tan family with envy!

However, everyone had only heard of Tan Jing’s endeavors. Not many people knew what Tan Jing really looked like. Liu Cui had always thought that Tan Jing must be a very beautiful woman. Now that Liu Cui saw Tan Jing today… Tan Jing was not that pretty after all. Liu Cui thought that she might be prettier than Tan Jing! She wondered what those rich families in the capital actually looked for in a woman.

“Alright, alright. Let’s go inside and eat!” After the two of them finished their meal, Tan Shi hurriedly went to his parents’ house to tell them about Tan Jing.

Jiang Yi grabbed Tan Shi’s hand excitedly and asked, “There’s always money in a divorce! Did your sister say how much she received?”

“She didn’t say, but I think it must be a lot! Elder Sister said that she wants to buy a shop space in the city to do business in the future! That means she must have received tens of thousands of dollars!” Tan Shi said.

“She must still have a lot of money! We must take all her money!” Jiang Yi said.

“Elder Sister also said that she didn’t get a house, so we can ask her to stay here! She definitely won’t be willing to give us too much money in one go. Shouldn’t we take our time to ask her for money? Besides, if she goes into business, she’ll keep making money. If we just keep an eye on her, do we still have to worry about not having a good life?” Tan Hu said.

Everyone’s eyes glinted with greed. This was the first time Liu Cui had seen the Tan family members behaving like this. She was not an indiscriminately kind person. As long as her interests were not affected, she did not care if others were dead or alive.

“Tomorrow, bring out all the good stuff that you’ve hidden away! Serve her good wine and food!” Jiang Yi said.

“No problem!” Tan Hu said readily.

On the way home at night, Liu Cui held Tan Shi’s hand and said, “Why… are all of you so harsh on Elder Sister?”

“I don’t know either. It has always been like this from when I can remember,” Tan Shi said indifferently.

“Is your elder sister not nice to all of you? Or is she not nice to you?” Liu Cui asked.

“My elder sister… She actually treats me quite well. When we were young, she would give me all kinds of delicious food, but it was only for a few years. When she got married, I was still very young,” Tan Shi said.

Liu Cui understood what was going on. It seemed that Tan Shi had become greedy and violent because of the Tan family’s actions. Although she was not afraid of bad things happening to her, she would not be the one to go out and proactively do bad things. The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth.

When the two of them reached home, Tan Shi hurriedly drew the curtains and lit a candle.

“What are you doing? Why are you being so mysterious?” Liu Cui asked curiously.

“Come here!” From his pocket, Tan Shi took out the 100 dollars that Tan Jing had given him and said, “This is the wedding gift that Eldest Sister gave us today. She asked me to tell you she is sorry for not being able to attend our wedding.”

“So much money!” Liu Cui said in surprise.

“My elder sister doesn’t lack money. I still think that this bit of money is too little!” Tan Shi said as he curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

Liu Cui gave Tan Shi a hard punch on the shoulder and said, “As if your elder sister gets her money easily! Rich families are like tigers and wolves in a den! It’s not easy for her to live with such people! It’s not like our family doesn’t have money. Don’t ask your elder sister for money in the future.”

“She gave it to me herself!” Tan Shi said.

“Fine! But do you have to reject her next time, do you understand? You have hands and feet, so why are you taking other people’s money for nothing! Do you still want to live with me! If you don’t want to listen to me, then let’s get a divorce!” Liu Cui picked up the money and threatened him.
