PNB Chapter 406 What a big pot
Chapter 406 What a big pot
Lu Cong shut his mouth, but he was still very uncomfortable.
The son has worked for so many years but hasn't saved a penny. On the contrary, he has fattened up Fang Qing, who now has a house and savings.
He kept saying that Fang Qing had a hard time, but in his opinion, Fang Qing was the most comfortable.
Fang Qing got all the benefits. She's clearly the most calculating one, so how dare she say Jiang Ting is calculating?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the more ironic it seems.
Of course, despite his anger, he couldn't bear to scold his eldest son. He thought bitterly to himself that it was all Fang Qing's fault for being greedy.
"Let's not talk about the past, Fang Qing. Don't leave yet, let's talk some more..."
"I have nothing to talk to you about." Before Lu Jiangting could finish speaking, Fang Qing interrupted, "Hurry up, don't make me have to squeeze through the Spring Festival travel rush with my son. I've already had it hard enough, please have pity on me."
A family of three: "..."
They started talking about how hard she had it all again, and Lu Jiangting felt annoyed whenever he heard the words "hard she had it all."
Enraged, Lu Jiangting said, "If you're in a hurry to go home for the New Year, you can leave now. But don't forget that Chenchen has to go to school, and you have to go to work too."
"You know in your heart whether you can leave or not. Don't bring up divorce. When can't you get a divorce? If you really want to avoid trouble, you can go back to your hometown and wait for notification. I will apply for telephone mediation, and I will mail you the divorce certificate once it's ready. It won't delay your affairs."
"Good." Finally seeing his son stand up for himself, Lu Cong applauded him.
This put Fang Qing in a difficult position.
What he said turned out to be true.
Perhaps out of spite, Fang Qing said harshly, "Fine, you said it yourself, then please apply for telephone mediation."
After saying that, he pulled Wang Chenchen and went back.
Back at their rented apartment, Wang Chenchen was too scared to speak, silently observing Fang Qing's expression from a corner.
Mom is angry, and she looks scary.
"Come here." The tone was full of threat.
But Wang Chenchen didn't dare disobey her and slowly moved towards her.
"Mother."
"I'm asking you, why did you tell your Uncle Lu about me making you sick?"
"I did not say."
Fang Qing said angrily, "You still haven't told me? Only the two of us know about this. You promised Mom you wouldn't tell him. If you didn't tell me, how did he find out?"
Wang Chenchen was so frightened that tears streamed down her face. She said, "Mom, I really didn't tell Uncle Lu. I only told Grandpa and Grandma. If you hit Grandpa and Grandma, it must be because they were naughty and they said it."
Fang Qing: "..."
"You..." She was so angry that she could hardly breathe, and she grabbed Wang Chenchen's ear and said, "How could I, Fang Qing, who am so smart, give birth to such a stupid son like you?"
……
Next door, Lu Jiangting explained his determination to fight for custody to Lu Cong and his wife.
"Fang Qing won't treat Chenchen well, I have to fight for custody. Dad, Mom, you can understand me, right?"
Understand my ass.
Both parents now believe that their son has some mental issues and should see a neurologist.
"You definitely can't beat him; he's Fang Qing's son."
"I know, but I've already asked around, and there's a way."
Two people: "..."
He repeated what Yi Yunshuo had told him: as long as he could prove that he was better at raising the child than Fang Qing and had a better ability to raise the child, the child could stay with him, and his chances of winning were still very high.
Finally, he added, "It's a bit of a hassle. Fang Qing and I have only been married for a short time, which means I've only been Chenchen's stepfather for a short time. I don't know if a foster relationship will be recognized. All of this can only be achieved if a foster relationship is established."
Upon hearing this, Lu Cong breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Jiangting continued, "If I can't hold back any longer, I'll wait until my relationship with Fang Qing lasts for three years and I've established a foster relationship with Chenchen before I try to take custody. That way, my chances will be much greater."
Lu Cong: "..."
He's gone mad, he's really gone mad.
So you mean, you're not getting a divorce?
"No, we're going to get a divorce, but we're not getting one for now."
The worst thing you can do in this kind of thing is to procrastinate. If you drag things out, won't there be more unexpected changes?
“Jiang Ting, I think she’s just bluffing. She won’t really do anything to Chenchen. Chenchen is her own son. I don’t believe she would actually send him to the Wang family.”
"What if she actually does it?"
“What if…” Lu Cong was speechless. “Chenchen is a cute kid, but he’s Fang Qing’s son. Even if she’s really bad to him, it’s their business. We outsiders shouldn’t interfere, and we have no reason to. Jiang Ting, listen to your father. Just leave it alone and everything will be fine. The more you interfere, the more arrogant Fang Qing will become, and the more the child will suffer.”
“But…but he is Jianjun’s son. Jianjun’s life has been hard enough. I can’t let his son go through the same thing.”
Lu Cong rolled his eyes in anger.
"Then Wang Jianjun saved..." Wait a minute, Wang Jianjun really did save his life.
"Alright, alright, give it a try if it doesn't work. I'll try to live a few more years and help you get through this predicament."
"Father, Mother, thank you for your hard work."
"Don't say that. As long as you're okay, we'll do anything."
……
The divorce proceedings were completed in just two days, but then Lu Jiangting said, "We've both been quite busy lately, so let's talk about the divorce later."
Old Wang: "What do you mean?"
Lu Jiangting said, "Fang Qing said she's going back to her hometown for the New Year and is busy for the time being. I've thought about it, and we should talk about the divorce after the New Year."
"So this means they won't be separating for the time being?"
"Yes, we won't get divorced."
Old Wang was speechless, then flew into a rage and cursed, "You son of a bitch, are you messing with me?"
Lu Jiangting lowered his head and dared not speak, letting Old Wang scold him loudly enough for people outside to hear.
Yi Yunshuo gloated and nudged Fu Huaiyi's arm, saying, "He got scolded again."
"I heard."
Not long after, Lu Jiangting returned. He stopped by Fu Huaiyi's workstation and said in a low voice, "For Yuyao's sake, I will not divorce Fang Qing for the time being."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"You're talking nonsense. Your affair with Fang Qing, those two crazy people, has nothing to do with Yao Yao."
Yu Yao called them a crazy couple, and he thought the description was very apt.
Lu Jiangting said calmly, "Fang Qing said he would bring up Yu Yao during the mediation process, and I can't let her slander Yu Yao."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Fu Huaiyi was so annoyed that he held his breath all afternoon.
He rode his motorcycle to work today, and when he got off work in the evening, he sped up and caught up with Lu Jiangting, deliberately cutting him off.
Lu Jiangting was angry. "Fu Huaiyi, what are you doing?"
Fu Huaiyi stopped. "You still have the nerve to ask me what business it is of ours whether you and Fang Qing get a divorce."
