Jiao Li clung to my leg, crying heart-wrenchingly.
"Xiao Fan, please, for the sake of our past relationship, can we not make a scene? I'll have my mom go back, and we can live well together like before, okay?"
I looked at her coldly and said nothing.
"Girl, why are you crying? This is clear-cut; both sides should take responsibility—divorce! Split the assets. You don’t want the house? Make him cough up half the money; there’s at least five or six hundred thousand!" Her mother shouted with her hands on her hips.
"Divorce, huh? You said it!" I turned to Jiao Li. "What do you think?"
Jiao Li immediately stopped crying. "Right, divorce!"
I sneered. "You all really need to brush up on your common sense. How could the House Deed be in my hands when there’s still a mortgage on it?"
"What?" Jiao Li hurriedly pulled out that fake property certificate and examined it closely.
"Stop looking; it's fake," I said dismissively.
"Oh dear, I can't go on living like this! My poor daughter, how did she marry such a scoundrel! I can't take it anymore..." The old lady suddenly moved to the window, one leg dangling out just like Jiao Li did that day.
But this time, we were on the tenth floor!
The fire ladder couldn't reach...
My mom saw this and collapsed onto the floor.
"Mom! Mom! Are you okay?" Jiao Li and I rushed over to her, giving her water and pulling out the emergency heart medication she always carried.
Jiao Li stood there motionless, even opening another window...
"Enough! What do you really want?" My mom finally regained her composure, and I had Cui Xiangjun help her to the bedroom.
"Divorce? You owe my daughter for her youth; how will she ever get married again? 200,000—don’t even think about a penny less!" The old lady spoke clearly and confidently.
"Where am I supposed to get that money? My salary card has been with Jiao Li; I didn’t keep a single cent. I spent all my family’s savings on the betrothal gifts—are you trying to take my life?" I was furious.
"Then just wait for the lawsuit! Oh dear, my daughter! My life isn’t worth much; if I die, at least leave you some dowry!" She cried out loudly, but her leg remained dangling out of the window without moving.
"Do you think a miser is afraid of death? That's a joke! But what can I do? Call the police? It's a family matter; what can they do?"
"Two hundred thousand, is it? Is that all our Xiao Fan is worth?" Suddenly, Ma Shishi spoke up, pulling out a check from her pocket and casually signing it for two hundred thousand.
"The check is real; you can take it to the bank to verify. I'm the legal entity, and my signature is valid. Take it! Stop bothering him!" Ma Shishi waved the check like she was calling a dog.
"What are you doing? I can't pay that..." I quickly grabbed Ma Shishi.
"No need, it'll be deducted from my salary!" Ma Shishi said proudly, her confidence evident as a wealthy person.
The mother and daughter seemed to have received a pardon, immediately jumping down from the window and snatching the check, counting the zeros carefully.
"One, ten, hundred, thousand... Miss, can you double-check if it's correct?" the old lady asked Jiao Li.
"Yes, two hundred thousand. Let's go get the money!" The two of them pushed open the door and left as if nothing had happened.
"Wait!" I called after them.
"Jiao Li, I'll ask you one more time: in these past six months, did you really feel nothing at all?"
"Feelings? Hahaha, what a joke!" Jiao Li's eyes were like daggers. "I hate all men— you, you, and you!" She pointed at me, at the chubby guy, and even at Cui Xiangjun, who had just come out of the bedroom and quickly retreated.
"You men deserve to die! Favoring boys over girls? Wedding customs are disgusting! Why do we women always get hurt?"
She gritted her teeth. "My mom is right; being born a girl is a crime! But I won't accept that! I want to prove that all men are useless!"
Her hatred had driven her to madness...
The chubby guy lowered his head shyly; I felt disgusted. This guy was truly embarrassing for men.
"You... just go, Jiao Li. You have a chance to change, but your mother's shadow has blinded you. Many men aren't what you think..."
"Pah!" Jiao Li spat and walked away with her mother without looking back.
"Sigh!" I sighed deeply. "When will this life of working to pay off debts ever end..."
Ma Shishi shot me an annoyed glance.
Six months later, Ma Shishi and I held our wedding in front of friends and family.
I never expected that in paying off debts, I would end up losing myself.
Ma Shishi looked stunning in her pure white wedding dress, like a fairy from a painting! I jogged over and took her small hand from my father-in-law, embracing her with excitement.
As the applause filled the air, I leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "So, that 200,000 doesn't need to be paid back, right? Leave me some salary..."
"Ah, you still remember that? The check wasn't stamped; they can't cash it. You all should learn a bit about common sense!" Ma Shishi laughed, her eyeliner slightly askew.
"Can't cash it? Then why haven't they caused a scene?" I felt genuinely worried and a bit apprehensive.
"Well, I don't know about that, but I think I once lost a 200,000 check and reported it to the police..."
Goodness, you really are something...
