Anyone's life is as small as a grain of sand. When this grain of sand falls into the long river of time, it often does not make any waves.
In less than a month, the news of the murder committed by the Jianmin Demolition Company completely disappeared from the memory of the people in Mobei, as if it had never happened.
After all, life has to be taken care of, and the mortgage has to be paid off every penny. The serial murders a few months ago have gradually been forgotten by people, becoming a story that everyone is too lazy to mention after dinner.
But there was one person who, even after she had a new family and a new life, could never forget Liu Jianmin.
…
When he came out of the Mobei City People's Court, Chen Liangshan looked at the "Guardian's Ruling and Judgment" in his hand, and his eyes began to get wet.
Since then, I have had a daughter, a daughter who has no blood relationship with me, but is worthy of my life.
He silently looked at the sky and whispered to himself: "Brother Jianmin, I finally fulfilled my promise..."
Nannan is a few days older than Liu Xiaoyue, so today is also the happiest day in her little life, because after all her thoughts, she finally became a "sister" today.
Xiao Yanran also held Liu Xiaoyue's hand and asked with a smile: "Xiaoyue, from today on, you are our child. Now... what should you call me and Uncle Chen?"
Liu Xiaoyue opened her mouth, but the smile on her face gradually disappeared, because every time she thought of the words "father" and "mother", two people who made her feel sad always appeared in her mind.
"It's okay, Yanran."
Chen Liangshan put his arms around his wife's shoulders and whispered comfort in her ear: "Xiaoyue is still young, so it's normal that she can't accept this change of title for a while. Let's take it slow."
Regarding this matter, Xiao Yanran seemed very reasonable, so she touched Liu Xiaoyue's head and said with a smile: "Okay! Don't think so much, little one. In order to celebrate this good day, our family has a day off, and you too
No need to go to school, let’s go to the amusement park!”
"Wow!"
The two children were so happy that their shouts changed their tune, and their dancing looks were very cute. This also brought a ray of light to Chen Liangshan's gloomy mood today.
…
It was not until the evening when the closing music played in the amusement park that the two children walked out reluctantly. Xiao Yanran also booked a high-end children's restaurant nearby, planning to take the children to have a good meal in the evening.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, the two children saw the amusement park inside, and they rushed forward laughing and joking.
After sitting in the seat, Chen Liangshan gently held Xiao Yanran's hand. The other person lowered her head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "What are you doing! An old married couple is not afraid of being laughed at in a place like this..."
Chen Liangshan smiled and said: "The person holding your hand is not another man, what are you afraid of?"
Hearing this, Murong Shui's heart froze for a moment, and she remembered an incident that had made her feel even more humiliated.
Less than a month ago, Xiao Yanran agreed to interview a celebrity in Mobei City alone in order to raise money for her husband's hospitalization expenses.
The situation that day was almost the same as today. They were both in such a high-end restaurant. The difference was that there was a fat man sitting next to me.
This man was wearing a suit worth tens of thousands of dollars, but with a lewd smile on his face, he held himself with his big greasy hands and reached into his clothes to lift his hands.
However, at that time, because of her husband's high hospital bills, I had to suppress my nausea and smile at the harassment of the man in front of me.
But men in this world are always dissatisfied. After seeing this attitude of mine, the greasy man's actions became even more excessive. Even after the meal, he even made an even more excessive request to go to the penthouse suite to rest for a while.
, and half-assedly did something that I still can't let go of.
Although it has been nearly a month since that incident, during this period, whenever Xiao Yanran thinks about that night, the man who made her sick was panting heavily and sweat dripped down on her body.
, all seemed to make her feel as disgusting as if she had been crawled by maggots.
Now, everything has been endured. When Xiao Yanran saw Liu Xiaoyue's golden egg, she thought of the moment when the court announced custody this morning. She suddenly felt that everything she had paid was worth it.
Life is gradually developing in a good direction, and everything in the past does not seem to be so important in her eyes.
Chen Liangshan patted his wife's hand gently and asked, "Yanran, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Yanran finally recovered from the memories, shook her head with a smile, and made up a lie at will: "No, it's okay... I suddenly have an extra child, it feels like I am in a dream."
Chen Liangshan smiled and said: "Me too. Although I have had this idea for a long time, when the day comes, I still feel a little different. It seems that the burden on my shoulders is heavier. Oh! By the way, Yanran, I want to be with you
Tell me something."
"Well, you go ahead and I'll listen."
Chen Liangshan thought for a while and said seriously: "We are Liu Xiaoyue's guardians now, so we should be responsible for her life, right?"
Xiao Yanran nodded.
Chen Liangshan added: "In that case, I have an idea. I checked before. In addition to a large amount of cash, what Xiaoyue inherited from Liu Jianmin and Liu Jianren also included shares of their company and real estate.
There are real estate projects under development and several commercial sites that have been covered for many years. I plan to liquidate all projects and fixed assets and package them all up for sale."
Xiao Yanran was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what the other party meant, and responded: "I understand. Although this may result in losing a lot of opportunities to make money from projects, I know that Liu Jianmin's kind of business is not something that ordinary people can do.
, it is inevitable to deal with people of both black and white backgrounds, so it may be the best way to retreat now and liquidate all assets."
"Well, that's what I thought too."
Chen Liangshan nodded, but then said: "After all the assets are realized, I will use the money to create a foundation for Xiao Yue, and a professional team will be responsible for managing and operating it. When she reaches the age of eighteen, the fund will be
All the money from the meeting will be automatically transferred to her account, so that she will never have to worry about food and clothing."
The atmosphere suddenly solidified.
All the money is automatically transferred to Liu Xiaoyue's account, so that she will never have to worry about food and clothing.
Xiao Yanran felt as if she had received an electric shock. Her eyes widened and she froze there for a long time before asking in an unbelievable tone: "You...you plan...to spend all Xiaoyue's money...
In her foundation?”
Chen Liangshan thought for a while, "Oh! One thing I didn't make clear is that the expenses and labor costs for supporting Xiao Yue every month will be included in the calculation, and the cost will be higher than that in the local market.
10% of the highest price will be credited to your account."
Xiao Yanran's tone was trembling at this time, "This...how much can this be?"
Chen Liangshan said: "It's probably a few thousand yuan. After all, it's only 10% higher than the market price, so it's not too much."
Hearing this, Xiao Yanran was even more surprised and asked: "It means... except for the money we spent on Xiaoyue, no one can touch the rest of the money. Even if my daughter grows up in the future, only
Can you... be self-reliant on your own?"
Chen Liangshan nodded again: "That's right."
"Chen Liangshan, are you crazy?"
Xiao Yanran suddenly took her hand out of the other party's hand, and in her excitement she spoke without caring about her manners: "How much effort have we put into this child? How much effort? How much time? You almost even risked your life!
And do you know what you are doing now? Leave all your money to that child? Chen Liangshan, you really think you are a Bodhisattva, helping others to raise children! What do you think of me? A nanny hired with money?
!”
Xiao Yanran's voice was loud and immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding guests, but Chen Liangshan didn't pay attention at all and said slowly: "How much or how little you pay, these things cannot be measured by money, but as for the decision, I have already
I told you, do you understand?"
"impossible!"
Xiao Yanran almost roared: "I will never allow you to do this! Do you know how much it costs to raise a child? And why do you do this? Have you ever thought about your own daughter?"
Chen Liangshan sneered and said: "You started to distinguish between your daughter and other people's daughters so quickly? I remember you didn't have this attitude towards Xiaoyue two minutes ago, right?"
"It's just impossible!"
Xiao Yanran didn't care about letting the people around her see the joke at this time. She reprimanded loudly: "Chen Liangshan, let me tell you! Don't even think about this! Unless..."
"Unless what?"
Chen Liangshan interrupted: "Is this divorce? Yanran, listen to me, even if you divorce me, Xiaoyue is now 10 years old, and the court will consider the child's opinions when making the decision, so she cannot leave with you anyway.
of."
The waiter in the restaurant finally couldn't help but walked over and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, miss, please keep your voice down a little, as this will disturb the surrounding guests."
"you you……"
Xiao Yanran was so angry that she almost shed tears. She even felt that the man in front of her was so unfamiliar that it frightened her. She grabbed her handbag and yelled at him with all her emotions: "Chen Liangshan, you are a psycho! Madman!"
After scolding, Xiao Yanran ran out of the restaurant in tears, but Chen Liangshan, who was sitting motionless, seemed to have foreseen this outcome. He looked up at the waiter and smiled politely: "Please hurry up.
