Many from the village came over for the drama. Some of them who didn’t think that the drama was entertaining enough even added, “Old Mr. Shu, Shu Yan doesn’t just have ‘some money’. We heard from Old Mrs. Ye that it is close to 3 million yuan!”

“Exactly. That’s so much money. Why does one woman need so much money? She should be more familial to his parents. What she was doing was wrong.”

“Exactly. So what if Shu Yan’s three brothers have houses already? They still need to be remodeled. She could spare some of hers.”

“Oh, Aunty Lanhua, that sounds nice. Then how come you didn’t shell out some money for your brother to find himself a wife? He’s close to 40, no?

“How would I know? After the investigation and the cops determined that I was innocent, they let me go. I was going to return to my company but I got progressively more upset. I don’t care that he wants to look for Shu Yan, but why is he keep pestering me? Does he really think that I have taken Shu Yan’s money? Bull! I relied on nobody but myself to get to where I am today. And all the Ye Zhiqiang needed to do was to say a few things and had them fooled. And they will rather believe in an outsider than family,” said Shu Jianyang, enraged.

He had purposefully made this about himself. That way it became beef between him and his Second Uncle. If he was to make it Shu Yan’s problem, for sure neither his grandparents nor his parents would bat an eye. It was disappointing but nevertheless the truth.

Shu Jianyang was on his way to his office when he received a call from Shu Yan. He, too, was somewhat disgusted by Shu Yan’s family right about now.

“What do you think was going through their minds? Making a police report that I had committed murder. Had they no idea what kind of a person I am? Every time they come into the city, I have treated them to good food and beverages. Perhaps my being too nice to them was the reason that they have accused me of murder.” Apparently, Shu Jianyang was truly upset this time. “I am so sorry that you have parents like that.”

“One can’t choose their parents, right? Third Brother, I want to talk to you about something. See if there’s anything we can do to have them stop looking for me this way.” It wasn’t there Shu Yan was worried about them looking for her but they irked her.

“Shu Yan, watch yourself. If it isn’t for Mom, you think you would have been able to marry Ye Zhiqiang? And that you would have been able to come into so much money if you hadn’t married him? In fact, all these money came because of Mom. Even if you don’t give them all, you have to at least give us half of them. Besides, didn’t you give money to Shu Jianyang? You need to figure out who’s close to you and who’s not. We are your real brothers.” Shu Jianbin, upon hearing Shu Yan’s words, starting getting anxious.

He heard snickering from the other end of the phone. “This was the first I have never heard that when a woman gets a divorce, she needs to give half of her wealth to her brothers. Have you no shame? I am better off without brothers like you. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I only have one brother and that is Shu Jianyang. Besides, I have never given him a dime. He earned his own success. Unless leeches like you. All you know is to leech blood from your sisters.”
