CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: CHOOSING DIVORCE OVER A DAUGHTER

Xu Manzhi clutched her arm, which hurt from being hit, and looked at Liu Fang with an unfriendly expression, "Mom’s right. If it weren’t for the grandson in Fang Meixiang’s belly, which family would let a woman who seduced a married man into the house with a child?

Back then, my mom agreed to Fang Meixiang and Yongming getting married because of her diploma from a junior college and the child in her womb. Now the diploma is fake, and my mom’s grandson is gone, this is a marriage scam. We haven’t even confronted you about it, yet you have the audacity to come to us!"

Liu Fang held her child tightly in her arms with anger.

The child cried out in pain, and she came back to her senses, had to soothe the child a couple of times, and looked coldly at Liu Yongming past Ma Cuihua and Xu Manzhi, "What do you mean by this?"

Liu Yongming’s eyes blazed with fury, "My mom and my sister-in-law have already made it clear. If it weren’t for Fang Meixiang approaching me at school on her own at the time, I wouldn’t have been with her. Didn’t expect she was scheming from the beginning, and over the past year, she spent quite a bit of my money. We need to settle these accounts one by one.

Also, she initially told me she was pregnant with a son, that’s why I went through so much trouble to get a divorce. Now I’ve lost my money, my son is gone, and she still wants compensation for my losses."

"Peh! Shameless thing!" The man behind Liu Fang glared fiercely at Liu Yongming, ready to fight.

Liu Yongming, emboldened by his family, showed no fear, "Why? Did I say something wrong? If I had known she was pregnant with a daughter, I would have made her get an abortion long ago! Anyway, I won’t support this child, nor can I afford to!"

Liu Fang took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to explode, "So you’ve made up your mind not to take responsibility!"

Liu Yongming turned his face away, making his stance clear.

Liu Fang curled her lips into a cold, thin smile, "Great! I’ll remember what happened today! Although my husband and daughter are in there, they’ll come out eventually. Just you wait!"

Liu Fang turned and left with the child without looking back, while the two men behind her glanced at the Liu family, toppled a cabinet, and smashed everything in the yard to bits, then pointed a threatening gesture at Liu Yongming by making a throat-cutting motion.

Liu Yongming was both shocked and angry, but still held his ground stubbornly.

After they left, Ma Cuihua went home with a gloomy face, saying nothing.

Seeing Liu Yongming standing there dazed, Xu Manzhi stomped her foot angrily, "Yongming, what are you standing there for? Go and get a divorce, and sue Fang Meixiang for fraud, no matter what, we must recover the losses!

And Lin Qin, didn’t she take five hundred yuan from you during the divorce? Think of a way to get that money back, too."

Liu Yongming squatted down in frustration, "You think I don’t want to? The man who stole money from Lin Qin before got beaten to death by her, she’s certainly on guard now, let alone where she hides the money, I don’t even know where she lives, where could I possibly get those five hundred yuan from?"

Xu Manzhi’s face turned dark in an instant, "Then find the child! Isn’t Yaya your daughter? As long as you bring Yaya back, I don’t believe she won’t hand over the money obediently!"

Xu Manzhi said viciously.

Liu Yongming was even more depressed, "I’ve already published a notice severing ties with Yaya, on what grounds would I bring the child back? If she reports this to the police, our entire family would be finished!"

Xu Manzhi was taken aback, as a woman with little education, she truly didn’t understand all these twists and turns. In her view, Liu Yaya was Liu Yongming’s biological daughter, and blood ties couldn’t be severed. If Liu Yongming forcibly brought the child back, no one could say anything.

Being told by Liu Yongming just now, she suddenly realized, and cried out in anger, "Lin Qin is truly ruthless, she had already prepared in advance and guarded against us fiercely! What about Fang Meixiang? Fang Meixiang committed marriage fraud, right! The Fang family has to compensate for our losses!

Make your elder brother accompany you to the police station now to divorce Fang Meixiang!"

Urged by Xu Manzhi, Liu Yongguo accompanied Liu Yongming to the police station.

The case against Fang Meixiang was ironclad, just waiting for the verdict to be handed down and transfer to prison.

When Liu Yongming met her, she no longer feigned and just looked at him mockingly, "Looks like my mom already sent the child to your house. How is it? Isn’t our baby beautiful? Do you like her?"

Liu Yongming gritted his teeth in hatred, "Fang Meixiang! You bitch! Not a single thing you’ve said from start to finish was true! Your name is fake, your diploma is fake! Even the child’s gender was fake! I, Liu Yongming, will absolutely not be a sucker! Your own daughter, you raise her yourself, she has nothing to do with me!

Just to let you know, that worthless thing and your mom have already been chased away by us!"

Fang Meixiang’s smile faded, her eyes turning from mockery to icy coldness as she stared at Liu Yongming for a long time.

"Since you don’t want the child, then why are you here?"

"Divorce!" Liu Yongming slapped the marriage certificate on the table with a face full of resolve.

Off to the side, Liu Yongguo said blandly, "We’ve already asked the police, and your actions have constituted marriage fraud. As long as we file a lawsuit, the court will declare your marriage invalid, additionally, you will have to compensate us for our..."

"Economic losses." Liu Yongming added.

Fang Meixiang laughed heartily until tears came out, "Liu Yongming, what right do you have to say these things to me? If you were innocent, I might actually be scared, but you’re just as shady as I am. Believe it or not, I’ll expose all the things you’ve done, and let you go down with me!"

Liu Yongming’s expression changed instantly, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "What nonsense are you spouting! I’m warning you, you can eat anything recklessly but don’t speak recklessly!"

Fang Meixiang’s smile grew more triumphant, "What? Scared? Remember the person who lent you money back then? I’ll be honest with you, that was no relative of mine, that person was a loan shark! The money was borrowed by you, if it can’t be repaid, they’d even resort to murder and arson!

And the matter of Lin Yi’s injury, you and I both know the truth about it! Oh, right! You haven’t graduated, have you? Still waiting for your job assignment, right? If it weren’t for the sake of my daughter, I would have dragged you to hell with me long ago!

Liu Yongming, you’d better not provoke me, got it?"

"You....." Liu Yongguo started to speak but was immediately silenced by Liu Yongming covering his mouth tightly.

With a triumphant air, Fang Meixiang leaned forward, "Liu Yongming, remember my words! Take good care of our daughter, don’t think about tricks and schemes, they’ll only lead you into an abyss!

If, when I get out, I don’t see a chubby, adorable daughter who has been well taken care of by you, I’ll be angry! The consequences of my anger are severe, and you..... can’t afford them!"

Liu Yongming staggered back a few steps, watching Fang Meixiang being taken away by the police with a pale face.

Liu Yongguo, clueless about what had happened, complained disgruntledly after being dragged out of the police station by Liu Yongming, "Weren’t we here to get a divorce? Are you afraid just because that woman said a few words? How can you be so spineless?"
