Chapter 452 The Thoughts of Chen's Mother and Son
Mother Chen was stunned at first, then her crying stopped abruptly. A trace of panic flashed across her face, but was quickly replaced by anger: "You heartless thing! You say you want to break up with me? I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. I raised you with a lot of hard work, and this is how you repay me?" As she spoke, she began to cry again, slapping the ground with her hands, as if to vent all her grievances and unwillingness.
Annie stood up and said, "How much does it cost to break up with him? I'll give you five million. If you break up with him, he'll be mine from now on. You'll have to work for me for the rest of your life." As soon as Annie finished speaking, Chen Xuan pulled her over and said, "Annie, what are you holding on to? Where would you get the money? You're just an employee."
Annie chuckled and said, "Chen Xuan, actually I never told you that my family is quite well off, but I've always relied on myself. My parents give me one million yuan in pocket money every month, but I've never touched it. I just wanted to see if my boyfriend would cherish me since I'm just an ordinary worker. But things didn't go as I wished. He cheated on me with a rich woman, so this money was worth it for you."
After hearing this, Chen Xuan said, "Annie, I don't want to owe you anything. I don't want people to think that I'm a gigolo, you know? I don't want your parents to look down on me. I have such a mother and brother, and I am..." Chen Xuan's voice stopped abruptly, his throat seemed to be choked by something, his eyes were slightly red, full of struggle and pain.
Annie gently held Chen Xuan's hand, her eyes full of heartache and understanding: "Chen Xuan, my parents are very open-minded. They will like anything I like. I help you because I love you and want to face all difficulties with you, not to burden you. Besides, you have worked in Fu Group for so many years, your ability is obvious to all." Then Annie moved closer to Chen Xuan's ear and said in an inaudible voice: "I will help you get out of their control first, and then you work hard to give me a home with you and me, can't it? When we get married, you can just get a house from Fu Sihan, right?
When Chen Xuan heard Annie's words, his body stiffened slightly, and a hint of surprise and hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he immediately thought it through. He had worked for Fu Sihan for so many years, and he was terrified every day. He could even give the cleaner a house. He had risked his life for Fu Sihan! Thinking about it this way, he had to ask for a house for Fu Sihan.
"Annie, what you said may make sense. I have worked hard for Fu Sihan for so long, so I deserve something." Chen Xuan's voice was low, with a degree of determination he had never had before. "However, let's first resolve the issue of severing ties with them. We can find a way to deal with the money issue later." Annie nodded quickly, her eyes full of approval. She held Chen Xuan's hand tightly, as if to pass on strength to him.
Chen Xuan took a deep breath and turned to face his mother, still sitting on the ground, throwing a tantrum, and his brother, cowering beside him. His colleagues were still whispering among themselves, their eyes fixed on this family drama. Chen Xuan raised his voice, emphasizing each word, "Mom, Chen Hao, I'm severing ties with you. Five million is fine? I'll make you regret it. We need to sign an agreement."
Let's sign a legally binding agreement to sever ties. From now on, we will have no further ties, and you can't come to me for any reason."
When Chen's mother heard the word "five million", her throwing a tantrum suddenly stopped, and a hint of surprise and greed flashed in her eyes, but then she changed into a look of grief, crying and shouting: "You heartless man, you want to break off relations with your mother for this little money. I carried you for ten months and raised you with my own efforts. How can you be so cruel!" As she spoke, she began to beat her chest and stamp her feet again, but she kept glancing at Chen Xuan from time to time to observe his reaction.
Chen Hao didn't seem satisfied with the money, so he quickly pulled his mother aside and whispered, "Mom, we can't agree to this. Five million is too little. Isn't his household registration still at home? This is our long-term meal ticket." Upon hearing this, Chen's mother was moved and cried even louder. She simply lay on the ground and rolled over, "I don't want to live anymore. I gave birth to such a heartless son. He wants to get rid of us with this little money."
Annie looked at Chen's mother and Chen Xuan's brother with a wave of sarcasm in her heart. She sneered, "Stop pretending. I know exactly what you're thinking. You want a long-term meal ticket. Chen Xuan agreed to it, but I won't. This agreement today is the final bottom line. If you don't sign it, you won't get a penny."
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother cried even harder, twisting her body on the ground and slapping the ground with her hands, raising a cloud of dust. "What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere in our family affairs? I gave birth to and raised my son, and you have no right to dictate what he does? Who are you to meddle in our affairs?"
Chen Hao also stood up straight, a trace of anger flashed across his face, and he shouted at Annie, "Woman, don't go too far! This is our family affair, don't try to sow discord here."
Anne met their gazes fearlessly and said, "He owes me five million, and he wants to give you five million. If you don't break off relations with me, you should pay me back!"
Chen's mother and Chen Hao wilted like eggplants hit by frost. Chen's mother opened her mouth, but her voice instantly faded, and her original anger disappeared. She muttered, "This...how can we be blamed for this? He was the one who was willing to give money to the family." Chen Hao also lost his previous momentum. He lowered his head and whispered, "Sister-in-law, you are making things difficult for us. We don't have so much money."
Annie looked at them with disdain and snorted coldly, "Making things difficult for you? Don't you know how much Chen Xuan has sacrificed for you over the years? And now you still want to treat him as a lifelong ATM? No way! You have to sign this agreement today, whether you want to or not."
Chen Xuan watched Annie argue for him, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. At the same time, he felt completely disappointed with his mother and brother's behavior. He stepped forward and said firmly, "Mom, Chen Hao, Annie is right. We must end this today. I'll give you five million and we'll be even. I'll move my household registration and I'll make this a clean slate."
"Five million! That's a lot of money..." She rubbed her hands, the anger and grievance on her face instantly disappearing, replaced by a flattering smile. "Chen Xuan, are you serious? As long as you give me the money, I promise I won't bother you again." Chen Hao also echoed, his eyes flashing with desire for money: "Brother, oh no, sister, you can't lie to us. When will the money arrive?"
Annie ignored their eagerness and headed straight for the printer, preparing to print out the severance agreement. At this moment, the surrounding colleagues were still reeling from the dramatic family dispute. "I never expected Assistant Chen's family to be in such a state. His brother is so naive, and his mother is so partial." "Yes, Annie is such a good girl. She's always helping Assistant Chen." The colleagues' words were filled with sympathy for Chen Xuan and resentment towards Chen's mother and Chen Hao.
