Only one day later, Chu Xinyi received another call from Xu Zhen, although the reason was the same as asking for money, but the amount was five times as much as before.

"I didn't just give you 10,000 just the day before yesterday." Chu Xinyi rubbed her temples, her head hurt so much, she hadn't rested well for two nights, even if she was asleep, she always had nightmares, dreaming that Ning Ronghao was implicated because of herself and lost the opportunity to be promoted.

"You will also say, that was not the day before yesterday." Xu Zhen is now justified in asking Chu Xinyi for money.

"Then it won't cost 50,000, will it?" Chu Xinyi felt that if Xu Zhen continued to spend like this, her savings would be gone in less than a month.

"What do you mean? Xiao Cheng, I've already released him as you said, do you want to change your hexagram now? Xu Zhen was immediately unhappy, and said in a weird manner: "This is the good daughter I gave birth to, who said that raising a child can prevent old age?" ”

As a parent, Xu Zhen is also a wonder, Chu Xinyi listened silently, she not only has a headache now, but even her heart hurts faintly.

Although Lan Fucai also came to blackmail himself, the harm caused by the same behavior as Xu Zhen was completely different. After all, he is just himself and his stepfather, and she is his own mother.

"You don't have to say it......" Chu Xinyi thought that Lan Yecheng had also been tortured for so many years, at least let him get rid of it first, "As long as you promise me not to harass Xiao Cheng again, I will give you this money." ”

What do you mean by that? I'm your mother, and if I ask my daughter or son for money, is that harassment? Xu Zhen complained dissatisfiedly, but she immediately thought that Lan Yecheng didn't even have a job now, even if she asked him for money, he didn't have it, so she followed Chu Xinyi's meaning and said, "Good daughter, as long as you can give me a family in time, I will naturally not let your brother give it again." ”

"Then we'll settle it." Chu Xinyi didn't want to listen to Xu Zhen say a word anymore, that would only make herself more sad, "When do you want money?" ”

"The sooner the better." Xu Zhen's eyes lit up suddenly, this money came so easily, she should have recognized this daughter earlier.

"Alright then, you go to the café last time, I'll come back to you later." Chu Xinyi didn't want to ask Xu Zhen to the military compound anymore, the last time she was crying and kneeling outside, it was really embarrassing.

Fortunately, there were not many passers-by at that time, and they didn't see their neighbors, otherwise how would others misunderstand themselves and talk about Chu Weiqi and Zheng Qiuping behind their backs.

"Good, good...... I'll go right away. Xu Zhen hurriedly hung up the phone, jumped down from the kang with her eyebrows fluttering, grabbed her coat and threw it on her body indiscriminately, and was ready to go out.

The 10,000 yuan I got back from Chu Xinyi last time was taken by Lan Fucai to play cards as soon as I got home.

Fortunately, he has been lucky in the past two days and has won a lot of money. When I came back yesterday, I was in a good mood, so I rewarded her with 500 yuan, but I said that it was the money for the family to buy vegetables and cook this month.

The more Xu Zhen sat on the kang just now, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart, but she didn't spend the money given by her daughter, which was uncomfortable for anyone.

She longs for the life of the rich wife in her dreams, and it is rare that her daughter has been contacted, and the things in her dreams must be realized one by one.

Therefore, Xu Zhen called Chu Xinyi and wanted to ask her daughter for more money, and when she got the money, she would go to the most luxurious shopping center in the city to buy herself a decent dress.

The most important thing is that I have to talk to my daughter about buying a big house, which can't be delayed any longer. When she moved into the big house, she had to hire a servant. After working hard for most of her life, she also has to experience the feeling of being arousing.

The more she thought about it, the more proud Xu Zhen walked out of the room, but unexpectedly saw Lan Fucai smiling gloomily at her, and her heart suddenly chuckled, and she secretly screamed badly.

"You...... Today...... Why did you come back so early? Xu Zhen not only smiled unnaturally, but even stumbled in his words.

"If I hadn't come back sooner, I wouldn't have heard you have asked me for so much money behind my back." Lan Fucai looked at Xu Zhen and said sarcastically: "I really underestimated you as a second-hand product before, you are more open than me." ”

Xu Zhen took two steps back with a weak heart, her lips moved, but she couldn't say a word to defend herself.

Lan Fucai didn't speak again, walked back to the house from Xu Zhen's side, sat on the kang with his buttocks, and rolled a cigarette for himself.

Seeing this, Xu Zhen didn't dare to leave, timidly followed into the house, far away from Lan Fucai, standing at the door with his head down, and secretly glanced at him from the corner of his eye, but it was not at all obvious from his expression whether he was angry or not.

The cigarette was rolled up, lit the fire, Lan Fucai took a deep breath, and then pointed at Xu Zhen and scolded: "You said that you are a money-loser, I had very good luck two days ago, and I won a lot of money, just because I gave you five hundred, I didn't even lose a cent of capital today." ”

Xu Zhen glanced at Lan Fucai in wonder, if it were usual, she would have been beaten by him by now, why did she just scold her a few words today, which really made her a little unaccustomed.

"Since you caused me to lose so much money, after you get the money from that girl in a while, you can compensate me for it." After speaking, Lan Fucai raised his leg and twisted the remaining cigarette butts under the soles of his shoes, twisting them to pieces, which meant that if Xu Zhen disagreed, the cigarette butts would be her end.

What? Xu Zhen was stunned, Lan Fucai didn't mean that he would have to go for 50,000 yuan, right? Then she won't get a penny again.

Although she was not happy, she didn't dare to resist, she knew very well in her heart that she was not beaten today, it was entirely because of the 50,000 yuan.

Rolling her eyes, Xu Zhen nodded, although she wanted to hit the wall in distress, but she had an idea in her heart, she could ask Chu Xinyi for a little more, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds.

"Then don't go yet!" Lan Fucai thought her movements were slow, and glared at her fiercely.

"Yes, I'll leave right away." Xu Zhen turned her head and walked out.

"Go and come back quickly, if you come back late, be careful of your skin." Lan Fucai warned, and when he heard that he was rich, his hands itched again.

Ning Ronghao had been worried about Chu Xinyi all day, and her "divorce" last night definitely didn't look like a joke.

"If my presence affects your promotion", she assumed a premise, and the other meaning of this sentence is that she did hide something from him, and this matter would affect his promotion this time.

What the hell is going on? Ning Ronghao saw that Chu Xinyi had not been quite right during this time, but he chose to remain silent. While doing his best to protect her, he waited for her to speak voluntarily.

But after last night, he suddenly felt that his previous approach might be wrong, so he came back from the unit early and wanted to go out to dinner with her and have a good talk with her.

The car was still some distance away from the military compound, and Ning Ronghao saw Chu Xinyi get into a taxi from a distance, he subconsciously reached for his mobile phone, wanting to call her, but changed his mind a second before dialing it out.

Slowing down his speed, Ning Ronghao looked at the taxi in front of him, thinking about whether he should go home first.

He hesitated for only a few seconds, and seeing the taxi go farther and farther, he didn't have time to think about it, so he drove over.

Where is she going? This is not the direction of going to Blue Leaf to start a family. Ning Ronghao didn't follow Chu Xinyi's taxi closely, because he subconsciously felt that it was not good for him to do this, and he was even more afraid that she would misunderstand that he didn't believe her.

Actually, he was just worried about her.

The reason why he thought of Lan Yecheng was not because he doubted her because of the scandal, but because Ning Ronghao always felt that Chu Xinyi's recent situation seemed to be related to that child, although he didn't know what the reason was, but this intuition was very strong.

If it had been something else, he might have investigated it a long time ago, but this matter was related to Chu Xinyi, even if he wanted to protect her out of good intentions, he couldn't do that.

It was as if now, he didn't mean to follow her, but just a gut reaction and drove along, and he already regretted it, and felt that he should turn around and go home.

However, he really couldn't rest assured. After thinking about it, he thought it was better to call Chu Xinyi and confess.

There were still more than ten seconds left before the red light, Ning Ronghao deliberately slowed down the car, he didn't want to keep up.

While waiting for the red light, he picked up his mobile phone and wanted to call Chu Xinyi, but he didn't pay attention to the fact that a car in the opposite lane in front of him ran a red light and rushed straight towards him at a very fast speed.

Chu Xinyi looked at the scenery outside the car window blankly, and there was a "bang" behind her, which startled her.

When I looked back, it seemed like there was a car accident at the intersection.

"It must be the kid who just overspeeded, I just see that kid is not doing well, he must have drunk too much!" The driver said in a hateful tone: "This kind of person seeks death by himself, but harms others." ”

Chu Xinyi nodded blankly, wanting to find her mobile phone and come out to call the police.

The driver dialed "120" and "110" one step ahead of her, reported the accident address concisely and clearly, put down the phone, he glanced at Chu Xinyi from the rearview mirror, sighed and said: "We taxi drivers have seen this kind of thing a lot, no matter who encounters it, they will call the police, and one minute earlier, the injured will have a better chance of surviving...... I just don't know who was unlucky this time. ”

couldn't help but glance back again, Chu Xinyi felt inexplicably uneasy.

When she arrived at the café where she had made an appointment, as soon as she entered the door, Chu Xinyi saw someone waving to her, and Xu Zhen had already come one step earlier.

Seeing that Xu Zhen had taken a more secluded seat, Chu Xinyi walked over cautiously, and looked around, she wanted to make sure that Lan Fucai did not follow.

Before Xu Zhen could sit down, she couldn't wait to ask, "What about the money?" ”

"It's been taken out." Chu Xinyi only answered Xu Zhen's question, and did not take out the money directly.

"Then you'd give it to me." Xu Zhen couldn't wait, she stretched out her hand to Chu Xinyi, urging vigorously.

"You let me finish my sentence first." Chu Xinyi was afraid that she would come and grab it, so she put the bag on her lap.

"What?" Xu Zhen swallowed her saliva, "Then you should hurry up." ”

Seeing Xu Zhen's greedy appearance, Chu Xinyi secretly sighed in her heart and said, "I can give you this 50,000 yuan." However, let's say that in the future, every month, I will give you 10,000 yuan, which is enough for your daily expenses in our city. ”

"Ten thousand?" Xu Zhen's brows immediately tightened together, and she pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, "Daughter, you're too stingy." Are you a great composer now, or the wife of the executive vice mayor, and you give your mother such a small amount of money a month? That's too much to say. ”

"10,000 yuan, it's not 'such a little money' as you said! Although my mother-in-law's house is not my housekeeper, our family can't spend so much in a month. Chu Xinyi clenched her fists, she couldn't accept that Xu Zhen raised the words "executive deputy mayor" at every turn, which was a stain on Ning Ronghao.

"You're right, who made your father-in-law the secretary of the provincial party committee and your man the deputy mayor, there are more people who stutter about it, and it is estimated that everything in this house is given by others, right? Do you go out to buy things and take them casually? You don't have to pay for it, do you? Xu Zhen's eyes lit up with envy, and she smacked her lips, "Since you don't have to spend your own money, of course you can't spend so much......

"My father-in-law and Rong Hao are not that kind of people!" Chu Xinyi was so angry that her face turned red, "They have never embezzled a penny, let alone received a little benefit from others!" You ask for money, I can give it to you, but you can't insult them! ”

"Cut, you don't have to blush and protect my neck with me, everyone who is an official in this world is the same......" Xu Zhen's words were not finished, but seeing that Chu Xinyi's face became ugly, she still closed her voice with interest, taking other people's hands short, her own 50,000 yuan is still in her hand, "However, if you don't want to hear it, I won't say it in the future...... Give me the money. ”

Chu Xinyi knew that Xu Zhen hadn't agreed to her previous request, but she really didn't bother to say another word. Opening the bag, she handed over the money.

Xu Zhen took the money, first looked around, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to this, she took out a pile of money and counted it in front of Chu Xinyi, for fear that she would fool herself.

After counting the five stacks of banknotes one by one, and seeing a lot, Xu Zhen carefully put away the money, raised his eyes and asked, "Didn't you promise me before that you wanted to buy me a big house, when will you buy it?" ”

"After a while, such a large amount of money, I always have to talk to my husband." Chu Xinyi suddenly wanted to go home, she really wanted to see Ning Ronghao, it was almost time for him to get off work, should you go to the unit to pick him up?

"Hmm. Yes, yes. Xu Zhen pretended to nod, not to mention how anxious she was, I don't know how long it will take for a while? After a pause, she said meaningfully: "As soon as this winter passes, it will be spring soon, there are many people who get married on May Day, don't catch up with the peak period of decoration, it will be difficult to find workers at that time." ”

"I see." Chu Xinyi lowered her eyelids, she was so afraid to look at Xu Zhen now.

Seeing that Chu Xinyi didn't move after saying a word, she couldn't be sure that Xin'er always made Xu Zhen feel as uncomfortable as scratching her heart, she licked her lips and asked with a smile: "Big girl, what kind of house are you going to buy for your mother?" ”

"Pick a better community and buy a set of about 100 square meters, it's enough for the two of you to live, Xiaocheng won't go back with you." Chu Xinyi thought that after solving Xu Zhen's matter, she would start planning for her younger brother's future. If he wants, she will send him to study abroad, and as for what major, it is up to him to choose.

"What? 100 square meters? Xu Zhen didn't expect that she would wait and wait, just wait for a 100-square-meter house, the smile on her face disappeared all of a sudden, and her whole face was elongated.

"Two people...... How big does it need to be? Chu Xinyi thought of her and Ning Ronghao's home, when he bought the house, he chose a room of more than 200 square meters, she felt that it was a little too big, but he said that he would have a room of children in the future, and he was afraid that it would not be enough to live...... Really, not to mention responding to the call of the country.

"At least it has to be as big as your mother-in-law's villa." Xu Zhen slapped the table, unconcealing the strong dissatisfaction in her heart.

Chu Xinyi suddenly felt speechless, did her mother really think that she was printing money?

"I can't afford to buy a villa like that, just you and Lan Fucai, you don't need to live in such a big house." Even if Xu Zhen goes too far, Chu Xinyi still considers her to be her mother, and she will definitely fulfill her obligation to support. However, when she thinks of Lan Fucai, she feels that every penny is wasted, and that money will be more meaningful if it is donated to children in poor mountainous areas, "I just finished studying, and all the money I earned before was used to pay for tuition, and I didn't save much." ”

"You don't have to cry poor with me, even if you don't, your husband will always have it." Xu Zhen didn't even dare to breathe in front of Lan Fucai, but she had the ability to play a scoundrel with her daughter, "In short, I just said one sentence, I am your mother, and you should raise me." However, I can take a step back, the house is not a villa, but at least 300 square meters of duplex, the decoration must be the most luxurious, the household appliances in it must be everything, and you have to hire a servant for me to serve me......"

Listening to Xu Zhen's chatter, Chu Xinyi felt that her head was about to explode, and she was about to stop it when she heard her mobile phone ringing.

"You said so much, let's drink saliva first, let me answer the phone, you must not make a sound." Chu Xinyi could tell from the ringtone of her mobile phone that it was Ning Zaiyu calling.

Xu Zhen nodded, picked up the cup and drank the drink. is different from the cramped attitude last time, this time she is completely the arrogant expression of a nouveau riche, and her pockets are bulging, and people have confidence.

Chu Xinyi looked away in disgust and picked up the phone: "Uncle, you ......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Ning Zaiyu said in a panic: "Sister-in-law, where are you?" My brother was in a car accident and has been taken to the hospital......"

Chu Xinyi only felt that her head was "buzzing", and she didn't listen to a word of Ning Zaiyu's words.

It wasn't until she heard Ning Zaiyu keep calling "sister-in-law" that she came back to her senses and asked in a trembling voice, "You...... Say what? ”

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?" Ning Zaiyu regretted that he was too impulsive just now, and he didn't prepare Chu Xinyi at all, "Don't worry too much, my brother will be fine, you can rush to the central hospital now, my mother and I will go over immediately, and I will notify Dad......"

"I see." Chu Xinyi hung up the phone in a hurry, and at the same time stood up and wanted to leave, but she didn't want to be grabbed by Xu Zhen's arm.

"I'm not done yet, you can't go." Xu Zhen screamed to stop her daughter from leaving.

"Let go of me!" Chu Xinyi shook her arm, but she couldn't shake Xu Zhen's hand, she suddenly became angry, pushed her away, turned around and ran towards the door.

"You unfilial daughter, you dare to push me, I'm your mother!" Xu Zhen scolded, and when she saw Chu Xinyi rushing out of the café without looking back, she paused hatefully, gritted her teeth and muttered: "I haven't finished my words yet, this 50,000 yuan is not enough, you can give me some more......"
