Chapter 194 The Mother of Char Siu Man 2 (20)
Xia Mingwei rejected all of Luo Yefan's suggestions.
It has always been easier to add flowers to brocade than to offer charcoal in the snow.
Now that the Luo family is in trouble, these cunning old men would love to divide the Luo family up immediately. Why would they help them?
After all, the business world is a battlefield; there are winners and losers. Winners enjoy flowers and applause. Losers have to obediently withdraw from the battlefield and be at the mercy of others.
Luo Yefan wasn't unaware of this simple truth. But he just didn't want to admit the fact that his Luo family had gone bankrupt so easily.
After a long silence, Luo Yefan spoke again, "After the company goes bankrupt and is liquidated, how much capital will be left?"
Xia Mingwei shook her head. "Not only is there no money left, but there's also an outstanding debt! I estimate the bank will be liquidating it soon!"
Hearing this, Luo Yefan's heart sank. It seemed the situation was worse than he had imagined!
Ignoring Luo Yefan's terrible expression, Xia Mingwei continued, "I've done a rough calculation, and I'll basically be taking back all the assets under my name, including this villa. Don't bother with anything else for a while, just pack your things and let's move out!"
At this moment, Luo Yefan truly regretted his actions. Because of his stubbornness in insisting on marrying Shu Qing, his family had gone bankrupt.
This brings us to the inherent flaws of human nature!
Previously, the original owner always went along with Luo Yefan, and he felt that the original owner ruined the relationship between him and Shu Qing, and did things that separated the lovers.
But now, with just a little trick from Xia Mingwei, he immediately regretted it!
Humans are just so sentimental!
With such a big thing happening at home, Shu Qing was naturally present.
Moreover, Xia Mingwei and Luo Yefan did not deliberately avoid each other during their conversation, so she heard every single word of their conversation.
She naturally didn't miss the regretful look on Luo Yefan's face, and inwardly sneered again.
To blame the company's bankruptcy entirely on her, this weak woman—you really have some nerve!
Thinking about her current situation, she quickly became restless again.
She chose to marry Luo Yefan for two reasons: first, Luo Yefan was a good match and could provide her with material security; second, Luo Yefan's family background was simple, which could cover up the baby's true identity and prevent people from criticizing his background.
But now that the Luo family has gone bankrupt and been liquidated, and the news of Bao Bao's illegitimate child has spread like wildfire, there is no point in her staying in the Luo family any longer!
But back then, in order to make this old woman believe that she and Luo Yefan had a fake marriage and acknowledge the baby's identity, she actually got a real marriage certificate with Luo Yefan!
Thinking of this, Shu Qing cursed Xia Mingwei in her heart once again. If she had known the Luo family would go bankrupt, why would she have registered her marriage with Luo Yefan?
Now she reasonably suspects that she has been tricked by this old woman!
It seems I'll have to think long and hard before I decide to leave!
Luo Yefan has just lost his wealth, and his temper is currently at its worst. If I rashly propose a divorce, he definitely won't agree! Leaving him later will probably be much more difficult!
It seems we can only follow them for now and see how things go!
But seeing her dream of becoming a wealthy wife fall through, Shu Qing was still filled with regret! She hated herself for acting impulsively and getting a marriage certificate with Luo Yefan.
If she had always considered herself a "friend," she wouldn't be in such a predicament now!
But no matter what Luo Yefan and Shu Qing thought, the day of the bank liquidation still came, and they still had to move!
The difference between a detached villa and a 130-square-meter house is quite significant.
More importantly, they all have to live together in this space.
With a three-bedroom, two-living-room layout, Xia Mingwei and Xiao Ba would occupy two rooms, and Shu Qing and Luo Yefan would share one. Therefore, Shu Baobao naturally wouldn't have a room.
Shu Baobao wasn't stupid. His smiling face immediately changed when he saw that Xiao Ba, who was about the same age as him, had his own room.
He pouted, started crying and demanding an explanation from everyone, asking why he didn't have a room of his own.
Shu Qing looked distressed, hugged Shu Baobao, and cast a pleading look at Luo Yefan.
Luo Yefan wanted to say something, but seeing Xia Mingwei's somber expression, he could only swallow his words.
Seeing that Luo Yefan was useless, Shu Qing had no choice but to resort to petty tricks.
She didn't blame Shu Baobao, but just kept saying that she was useless and couldn't provide him with a comfortable life.
Everyone present was a smart person; they all knew exactly what Shu Qing was trying to say.
Luo Yefan didn't stop her for a simple reason: he wanted to see where Xia Mingwei's bottom line was now.
Shu Baobao is still quite young, but her cries already have that shrill quality unique to infants. It's really unpleasant to hear!
Finally, Xia Mingwei couldn't help but speak up, "Crying, crying, all you do is cry, like you're wailing at a funeral! Your mother isn't even dead yet, and you're already putting on a show for me!"
"It's probably because you, you unlucky bastard, walked into our house that my family went bankrupt so quickly!"
These words were undeniably serious, and Shu Qing's face flushed red and then turned pale upon hearing them.
But considering that she was now living under someone else's roof, she couldn't refute anything.
She tried her best to suppress her anger and said, "Mom, the baby is still a child, please don't treat him like this!"
"A child? They say you can tell a person's future from the age of three! If he's already learning bad habits at such a young age, who knows what he'll be like when he grows up! I think he already has the ability to cause trouble now, he'll probably be a menace when he grows up!"
"Besides, what's wrong with the child? Does a child not need to be disciplined just because they made a mistake? I'm disciplining him now because it's for his own good! He cries over every little thing, what kind of behavior is that!"
"This impulsive and dramatic nature doesn't seem like that of a responsible man; it's more like..."
Xia Ming chuckled softly, "But you never know, luck can be anything. Who knows, you might end up with both a son and a daughter!"
After saying this, Xia Mingwei patted Shu Qing's shoulder in a serious manner.
This isn't just a hint; it's practically an explicit statement.
Shu Qing was completely stunned. How dare this old woman curse her child to be gay! How could she dare to do that?
She couldn't hold back any longer and retorted, "It's just about one room, Mom. You're making a mountain out of a molehill! Or are you just too petty to even think about it?"
Xia Mingwei's face immediately darkened. "So you know why he's crying and making a scene! I thought you were really stupid, pretending not to know what was going on! Since you know about this, then deal with it properly! I don't want any more room-related issues to arise in this house!"
