Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star

Chapter 220: A Violent Argument



Upon hearing this, Yu Zhan had a touch of deep thought and doubt in his heart.

Before Liu Man left, she left a note on the coffee table in the living room. Liu Chengyu arrived home at 8 p.m., which was before Zhang Pei came back. He saw what she wrote after entering the door:

“Mom: For the convenience of my studies, I rented a house near Capital University. The address is XXXXXXX. I have moved in since today. I also brought the two cats. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me.”

Liu Chengyu was so angry, for he had just returned home and the Princess instantly moved out. Didn’t she just feel uncomfortable seeing him? He hadn’t blamed her for taking his daughter’s body, so how dare she give him this attitude?

Moreover, only the title of her mother was written on the note. Where was his name placed?

As soon as Zhang Pei came home, she saw her husband sitting on the sofa, fuming. His face flushed unnaturally, and she smelled the scent of alcohol in the air and said exasperatedly,

“Have you been drinking again?”

Liu Chengyu snorted coldly, “You said that f*ing princess is a good girl, she…”

“I’m asking you: did you drink again?” Zhang Pei interrupted him and asked again. Her voice was loud, and she was almost roaring.

Liu Chengyu was still afraid of his wife. He was confused by Zhang Pei’s yelling, and he murmured in a low voice, “The leader sees that I’m out, and he’s very happy. He called a party and invited me to a drink with the others…”

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Pei walked up to him in three steps and slapped him harshly in the face.

Zhang Pei exhausted all her energy and knocked such a grownup man down on the sofa. Liu Chengyu went into a trance from getting betean up, and he didn’t pull himself back to reality for a long time.

Zhang Pei pointed at Liu Chengyu and scolded him aggressively, “You have been in the detention center for such a long time, so why don’t you learn from your lessons? Have you forgotten why you got into the detention center in the first place? You forgot how the delivery person named Wang Chunhua died? Have you? Have you forgotten how much money we lost because of you? What is so good about wine that makes you take the risk not once but twice?”

“I haven’t been driving,” Liu Chengyu said stubbornly. The car that caused the accident was still parked in the garage. The car key was kept in Zhang Pei’s hand. He had no car to drive.

“Whenever I look at that princess, I recall the daughter I will never see again. I get in a bad mood. When I get in a bad mood, I want to drink. You know my problem. Do I not even have the right to solve my sorrows with wine?”

Liu Chengyu felt that his approach was okay, and he even complained.

Before the accident, Zhang Pei had already hated Liu Chengyu’s love of drinking, “Whatever you are dissatisfied with, you can tell me. Why do you have to drink? Can’t you let me have less to worry about?”

“I said it as soon as I came back. Did it help? Don’t you worry more about the Princess’s thoughts? You’re afraid she gets upset! My daughter is no longer there. Even if I say a thousand, no, ten thousand sentences, she still won’t come back!”

The more Liu Chengyu thought about it, the more wronged and angry he felt.

“How could I refuse the leader’s hospitality? He tried every means to keep me, and I am very grateful to him. I offend him, and I won’t even have a job left,” Liu Chengyu felt it was very reasonable, “I am a man, and I have to bear the burden of supporting my family. You don’t let me drink or socialize, so how do I work? How do I deal with socializing parties? You haven’t been to work in 20 years, and you’ve been staying at home. Don’t you rely solely on my work to support your living?”

Liu Chengyu’s complaint made Zhang Pei stunned. She looked at her husband, whom she had been waiting for more than half a year, in disbelief. In the depths of his heart, he viewed her contributions like this.

“You think it is easy to do housework? Do you think raising a child does not require energy? You think doing all the chores does not require using my brain?”

Faced with a series of harsh questions from Zhang Pei, Liu Chengyu’s head completely became sober.

There was a panic on his face, “Sorry, I have drunk too much, and you shouldn’t take my words seriously.”

Zhang Pei sneered. She was not the former housewife who was detached from society and reality. She followed Liu Man and became a businesswoman. She had broadened her horizons, her mind had become smarter, and her personality had become more independent.

As the saying went, one only spoke the truth after drinking. What Liu Chengyu said was what he thought of in his heart!

“You only know to be grateful towards your leader, but you don’t know to appreciate Man Man. She is the one who contributed the most to your affairs. Your leader just said hello and ignored the rest of the matter. If we had known this earlier, we wouldn’t have been working hard to get you out. We should’ve let you rot in prison!” Zhang Pei had confidence, so she spoke mercilessly.

“Didn’t you tell Yiyi yesterday that you are going to visit and thank Lawyer Li? He helped you clear the relationship between the court and the procuratorate. His appearance fee was 300,000 yuan, and Man Man had already paid 150,000 for you. Since you are so capable and your leader has helped you find a new job again, your career sure has been developing well. You can continue to make money. You can pay the remaining 150,000 RMB by yourself. Oh, it is best to give the money to the lawyer by the end of this month to avoid offending him. If you do offend him, beware of him sending you back into prison again.”

150,000 RMB. He had just come out of prison, so where could he get 150,000?

Without waiting for him to digest the information about such a large number of attorney fees, Zhang Pei continued, “Because you were driving under the influence, our family is heavily in debt. We have to repay 8900 RMB to the bank every month, and we have to do so until 25 years later. Since you hate Man Man, she is not obligated to help you, so you can fight for your dignity and pay it yourself. After all, it is you who caused the incident. You are a grown-up man, and you should take responsibility for what you’ve done.”

Zhang Pei returned Liu Chengyu’s words to him intact, which was extremely ironic.

When Liu Man left, she not only left a note but also sent a WeChat message to Zhang Pei, so Zhang Pei didn’t need to read the note to know that Liu Man had left home and rented a house alone.

Time was a terrible thing. Zhang Pei and Liu Chengyu did love each other very much before; however, at that time, their family was wealthy, Liu Chengyu worked well, and the scenery was boundless. Apart from his bad habit of drinking, there were no other shortcomings. Their daughter was beautiful and charming; she was self-willed but straightforward. Zhang Pei had always thought she was a very happy woman.

But these were only appearances, and only when there were substantial problems, such as ones related to money, the sinister hearts of people could get expressed.

Before Liu Chengyu’s accident, his salary was only a little over ten thousand a month. He had just gone to a new unit to report today. It was a public institution, and it was very idle without any work pressure. His monthly salary was less than half of his previous salary.

Asking a person with a monthly salary of less than 5,000 to repay a loan of 8,900. Wasn’t that already killing him? Not to mention they were having him pay a lawyer’s fee of 150,000.

It was only until then that Liu Chengyu realized why his wife had so painstakingly persuaded him before going to bed last night.

Without the Princess, their family would have been ruined.

Liu Chengyu sat on the sofa blankly. Was it too late for him to regret his choice now?
