Chuzheng found time to meet with Chen Beibei’s mother, a very timid and incapable woman.

In the face of her husband’s abuse, she could only silently bear it.

Because she had no income and could only rely on her husband’s meager earnings to support herself and her daughter.

"Two thousand yuan a month, if you want to earn it yourself, you can. Why don’t you earn it yourself?"

"Me? What can I do?"

The woman looked haggard, exuding timidity... that kind of timidity was different from Xi Jing’s...

Not because Xi Jing was her Good Person Card, making it subjectively seem different.

Rather... even though Xi Jing was timid, he was still striving to live, with a tenacity about him.

Even in the storm, he wanted to keep growing.

Completely different from the timidity of this woman.

The more Chuzheng thought about it, the happier she felt. The little guy was indeed different, making her really want to... cut off all his resilience.

[...] Your Miss Sister is still your Miss Sister.

Chuzheng, of course, was just thinking and wouldn’t really do it. She still preferred a Good Person Card that could cry and laugh.

Chuzheng calmed her chaotic thoughts: "What era do you think it is now? As long as you want to do something, it won’t let you starve."

"I can’t..."

"Then just watch as your daughter gets beaten to death, and be ready to pay for her coffin."

"..."

Chuzheng was too lazy to say more, some people just can’t be helped no matter how hard you try.

Chuzheng told her to think carefully, if she figured it out and needed help, she could come to her.

She wasn’t so kind, she just didn’t want her Good Person Card to constantly be thinking of other annoying kids.

With Chuzheng’s lawyer suppressing things over there, huge property damage and domestic violence, Chen Beibei’s stepfather couldn’t get out quickly, so the woman had enough time to consider thoroughly.

-

Late on the third night.

Chuzheng was ready to sleep when the woman suddenly came to find her.

The woman looked much more haggard, she must’ve just come back from the hospital, carrying the scent of disinfectant.

"I... I’ve made up my mind..." the woman whispered, "I want to divorce him."

In the past, when he hit Chen Beibei, it was just a few random slaps and not too serious.

But this time it was unexpectedly severe...

And the money Chen Beibei took was for buying tutorial books and supplies that she’d already mentioned to him the day before. He drank, agreed, and then forgot the next day.

These past days, she had been constantly worked on by those protection agencies, and Chen Beibei also begged her to divorce, making her finally think of Chuzheng and decide firmly.

Chuzheng let her in, the room wasn’t big, you could see everything at a glance.

A young man was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, looking over in a daze, cute and silly.

Chuzheng went over to envelop the young man, wrapping him up tightly with the quilt: "Sleep first."

The young man tried to focus: "I..."

"Sleep," Chuzheng didn’t give him a chance, pushing him down.

Chuzheng focused on coaxing Xi Jing to sleep, ignoring Mother Chen completely.

Until Xi Jing was asleep, Chuzheng leaned against the headboard, holding the young man, and gestured for Mother Chen to sit.

Mother Chen: "..."

During this period, the two often came and went together, initially thinking they were relatives, but later found their actions too intimate, clearly a couple.

So at this moment, seeing the scene, besides being a bit shocked, Mother Chen didn’t know how to express her thoughts.

The relationship between these two... was a bit strange.

"That day with you and I..."

"Keep your voice down."

Mother Chen immediately lowered her voice and talked quietly with Chuzheng.

-

Chen Beibei’s stepfather wasn’t having an easy time these days, hearing today that someone wanted to see him, he left the holding area.

Of course, he saw his wife, standing with the girl from next door.

"You’re not gonna try to get me out of here!"

Seeing Mother Chen, Chen Beibei’s stepfather yelled, the person behind him pressed him down and pushed him back.

Mother Chen’s shoulders slumped, habitually afraid upon seeing this man.

But remembering the purpose of today’s visit, Mother Chen slightly mustered up, sat across from the man, and stated the reason.

"Divorce?! Dream on, when I married you, I paid you twenty thousand! Now you want to divorce me, you think I’m a fool!"

The man finished speaking, almost flipped the table but was held down by the person behind him, stopping him from hitting Mother Chen.

Mother Chen was scared, got up straight from the chair, and retreated in fright.

Chuzheng didn’t know about this.

The money was initially for Chen Beibei’s treatment, and Mother Chen was forced with no choice at the time, Chen Beibei urgently needed it, and she borrowed it from everywhere.

Back then, the person seemed alright, who could have thought...

But this wasn’t really related.

That money wasn’t even enough for medical fees.

Originally, this person took the money not to save Chen Beibei, it was for himself.

"I’m telling you divorce is impossible, dream on!" The man roared with his neck stiff.

Bang—

A file was slapped on the table, the sound successfully stopped the man’s shouting.

Chuzheng propped up the table with one hand, her calm tone Leisurely rang out: "If you choose to divorce now, I can let go of pursuing damages for the things you destroyed."

"Who the hell do you think you are, I..."

The man burst into a stream of profanity, even after several reprimands from behind, he didn’t stop.

Chuzheng wasn’t concerned, dismissing the man’s curses like watching a cheap clown.

Her slender, pale fingers flipped open the file, revealing one particular page: "All damaged items total one million..."

The man’s voice suddenly cut off, his face showed shock and disbelief.

He probably couldn’t imagine how those things could be valued at one million.

And was this his responsibility?

Obviously, this woman deliberately framed him...

"If you agree to divorce, I won’t pursue your responsibility, this debt will be written off," Chuzheng paused: "It’s quite a bargain, think hard about it."

Man: "..."

The man felt heartache, but thinking of that one million...

He had never seen that much money in his life, how could he possibly repay it?

Chuzheng left the man time to think, took Mother Chen and left.

"Will he agree?"

"If he doesn’t want to be in debt for one million, he will."

Mother Chen’s face turned pale: "That money, you really don’t need him to pay?" One million, a number Mother Chen couldn’t even imagine.

"No need."

Mother Chen: "W-why are you helping me like this?"

"You’re lucky." Also because of the light from the Good Person Card, or else who would bother with your mess.

Mother Chen opened her chapped lips, took a while before speaking two words: "Thank you."

[Congratulations Miss Sister for obtaining a Thank-You Card ×1]

Chuzheng glanced at her and said: "If he agrees to divorce, remember to get the house."

Mother Chen looked at her in a daze, seemingly not understanding what Chuzheng was saying.

Not until Chuzheng walked far away, embraced the young man standing in the sunlight, both got into the car and left, did Mother Chen slowly turn her eyes, snapping back to reality.
