Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 218 - 151: Yang Chen Is the Real Manipulator

Cheng Junjun’s impassioned, almost rhetorical speech was powerful and full of emotion, leaving the guests deeply moved.

Her grandparents were also flustered by her soul-stirring words, their eyes darting around, evincing guilt.

The guests began discussing among themselves.

"I never thought Miss Cheng grew up in such a family environment. My God, honestly, it’s a miracle she’s come this far. If it were me, with a whole family looking down on me and my mom being forced to her death, I might have ended up the same."

"Actually, I understand the grandparents’ thinking, but what I can’t understand is why they blame the granddaughter. If you want a grandson, just have another kid. If you can’t, then maybe it’s fate that you won’t have a son. So why blame the granddaughter?"

"It’s terrifying! It’s the year 2022, and there are still people with such awful ideas. Besides, whether it’s a boy or a girl mainly depends on the father!"

"Sigh... I can completely understand why Miss Cheng’s mother chose to end it. Before my son was born, I went through the same thing. My in-laws nagged every day about wanting a grandson, and my husband didn’t say a word, silently agreeing with their pressure. I had four kids before having a son. If the fourth wasn’t a son, I might have jumped off a building too. It’s truly a collapse of body and spirit; you can’t possibly understand that feeling."

...

All the guests looked at Cheng Junjun with sympathetic eyes. Growing up healthy and beautiful in such an environment was indeed not easy.

Zhang Hailing immediately sensed that the situation wasn’t right.

Why would she, at 23, marry the 48-year-old Cheng Dalong?

Because he had billions.

But now, seeing how things were going, it seemed he might not be able to hold onto his wealth.

Then how could she marry him?

"No way! I’ve endured strange looks and gossip from others just to secure billions in wealth. No one can take away what’s mine!" Zhang Hailing thought to herself.

"Dalong, I’m already pregnant, and I urgently need money for the pregnancy. You can’t let them make us pay! What will happen to our son if we’re broke?" Zhang Hailing cried.

Cheng Dalong sighed helplessly and said, "It’s not up to me now; the decision is in their hands. What can I do?"

In a low voice, Zhang Hailing said, "Can’t you see? Yang Chen is behind all this; Yang Chen likes your daughter. Just persuade her to go easy on us, and Yang Chen will definitely let us go. You don’t want your son to end up on the streets, do you? I certainly don’t. If you can’t support yourself, I can’t marry you, and the son can’t be born."

"Damn! Just admit you’re in it for the money," Cheng Dalong said.

At this point, Zhang Hailing saw no need to disguise her intentions.

"Think whatever you like; I’ve said what needed to be said. It’s up to you," Zhang Hailing said indifferently.

She married Cheng Dalong for the money, so naturally, she’d call it off if there was none.

Don’t expect morals from a gold-digger like her.

Cheng Dalong was still hesitating when Cheng Junjun’s grandparents approached her, pleading for mercy and sparing her father.

Turning the family into ruins wouldn’t benefit her, so why choose such a self-defeating path?

Cheng Junjun chose to ignore them entirely, turned to Yang Chen with a smile, and said, "Chen, let’s go."

Yang Chen nodded, and the two of them turned and left.

The elderly couple wanted to chase after them but were blocked by Cheng Dawu and the hotel staff.

"Junjun, come back, don’t leave! Grandpa knows he was wrong; I’m apologizing. Don’t be so heartless!"

"Junjun, can I kneel and apologize? Please don’t do this!"

As they spoke, they really knelt, but Cheng Junjun didn’t look back at them, not even once.

The grievances Cheng Junjun had suffered for over twenty years couldn’t be erased by a few words or a kneeling.

Zhang Hailing quickly started crying in front of her parents.

"Dad, Mom, what should I do? If he’s held responsible, what about my future?" Zhang Hailing sobbed.

Zhang Dachun comforted, "Just pay a bit of money, and then slowly earn it back."

Zhang Hailing: "Earn what! He’s already divided the company’s other businesses to his daughter, leaving only Longmei Hospital. Now that Longmei Hospital is facing compensation claims and canceled partnerships, it’s like his company has collapsed. There’ll be huge breach penalties to pay. I might end up in massive debt right after marrying him. Boohoo... isn’t my life ruined?"

Zhang Dachun: "What? So miserable... oh, no, how could this happen!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Li Lanying: "How is that acceptable? We marry for happiness, not to inherit massive debt. This marriage is off, cancel it now!"

Zhang Hailing: "But we already registered... boohoo..."

The surrounding guests smirked maliciously and began teasing in low voices.

"This is killing me. Scheming to marry into money and ending up in huge debt on the wedding day, the plot is just too funny."

"Haha... failed to snag a rich guy and became a debtor instead; she probably won’t try to marry wealthy again."

"What a mess, pregnant, registered, and in debt before the wedding’s even over."

"Miss Cheng really played it well, effortlessly transferring all the assets. I bet the private settlement conditions were Dalong handing over all remaining business to her without charge."
