After leaving my father and keeping my son, I built my own wealthy family, and my ex-husband's

Ming Changfu, meanwhile, stared wide-eyed, panting heavily, holding a half-broken beer bottle in his hand.

"mom!"

Mingyun rushed over and hugged Zhou Xiu tightly.

"Dad! What are you doing!"

"What are you doing?" Ming Changfu's face was full of ferocity. "Your mother's asking for it! She actually told me not to ask you for that 45,000 yuan and to find another job to earn some money! Damn it, since when did she become the one to order me around!"

Mingyun's eyes were bloodshot.

The mother, who has always been timid, must have mustered up a tremendous amount of courage to say these words to the father this time.

The result was that her father smashed a bottle over her head!

"Mom, I'll take you to the hospital." Mingyun helped Zhou Xiu up.

Ming Changfu roared, "Why go to the hospital! What a waste of money! We're not going to die!"

Zhou Xiu shuddered and hurriedly pushed Mingyun away, "I'm not going, I'm not going, daughter, I... I'm fine, it's just a little scratch, I can put some medicine on it myself."

Mingyun, having reached her limit, shouted, "Dad! I'm taking Mom to the hospital; you don't need to pay! If you dare stop me today, I'll call the police!"

"Huh?! You fucking rebel?! If I don't beat you up today, you'll never know who's boss!"

Ming Changfu kicked over the coffee table and swung his arm to hit Ming Yun.

"No...no!" Zhou Xiu grabbed Ming Changfu's arm tightly, crying, "I don't want to go to the hospital, I won't go, please don't hit our daughter..."

Then she said to Mingyun, "Daughter, please apologize to your father, I beg you."

Mingyun felt...suffocated by the discomfort.

It felt like her trachea was being ripped out and then strangled.

Seeing her father become even angrier because he was being pulled, and grabbing her mother's hair and about to hit her again, Mingyun knelt down with a thud, biting her gums until they bled. "Dad, I'm sorry, I apologize to you."

Ming Changfu asked, "So, will you still give me that 45,000 yuan every month from now on?"

Mingyun's fingernails dug into her palm.

She already gives the family tens of thousands of yuan a month for living expenses, and sometimes her father tries to ask for more money in various ways.

Now, even the money for Grandma's nursing home is being swallowed by my father.

"Are you going to give it to me or not?!" Ming Changfu's eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

Mingyun was utterly powerless. "Give...I'll give it to you."

Only then did Ming Changfu release Zhou Xiu.

Mingyun helped her mother to another bedroom. No matter how she tried to persuade her mother to go to the hospital, it was no use. She had no choice but to find the first-aid kit at home and treat her mother's wounds.

Fortunately, no vital organs were damaged.

As soon as her wound was bandaged, Zhou Xiu went to the living room to clean and tidy up.

Mingyun couldn't stop her, so she could only let her be.

Afterwards, Mingyun went to the kitchen to make lunch; otherwise, Mingchangfu would go crazy.

After lunch was prepared, her younger brother, Mingxuan, swaggered back, chewing betel nut and smoking a cigarette.

"Oh, sis, you're here!" Mingxuan plopped down in her seat. "Get me a bowl of rice!"

Mingyun hadn't even had time to take off her apron before being ordered around. She said coldly, "Is your leg broken or your arm bent?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Xiu hurriedly brought over two bowls of rice, one for Mingxuan and one for Ming Changfu, forcing a smile and saying, "Eat up, eat up."

The father and son ignored everything else and focused on eating.

Mingxuan didn't even care that his mother's head was wrapped in gauze.

Mingyun: ...

"Daughter, please sit down too." Zhou Xiu took off her apron and served her rice.

"Mom, you eat."

Mingyun gave the food to her mother and asked her to sit down.

Zhou Xiu felt like she had a nail under her butt, fidgeting and feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Eat up!" Ming Changfu glanced at her sideways. "Our daughter already gave you a seat."

Only then did she dare to pick up her chopsticks.

But the first thing she did when she picked up her chopsticks was to serve food to her son and husband. Then she quickly ate a couple of bites herself, made some food, and went to feed Mingyun's grandmother.

"Sister, with your cooking skills," Mingxuan said while wolfing down her food, "it's a shame you're not a chef."

Ming Changfu narrowed his eyes. "Your sister is the young mistress of the Qin family. Does she need to be a chef?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyun had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Ming Changfu's next words were, "Daughter, the job market isn't great right now... Look at your younger brother, he can't find a job even after graduation."

Mingxuan swallowed the food in her mouth with force. "Yes, it's really difficult. I don't know what to do."

"You want more money?" Mingyun asked directly. "How much?"

Mingxuan laughed, "Just give me whatever you think is appropriate, sis. I still need you."

"Give me what?!" This time, Ming Changfu didn't ask Ming Yun for extra money. He changed the subject, "Son, your brother-in-law is Qin Pinsen! Getting him to arrange a job for you is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

Mingxuan suddenly realized and nodded vigorously, "Sister, you should tell my brother-in-law right away!"

"By the way, I'd like to work near home, with simple and easy job duties, and preferably at the level of department manager or above."

"Oh, and there's also a 13th-month salary with weekends off, an extra month of paid leave each year, and year-end bonuses. As for the base salary... just give me 30,000 to 50,000 yuan."

"..."

After listening to what Mingxuan said, Mingyun crossed her arms and said, word by word, "Look at me, don't I look like a turtle in a wishing well?"

Mingxuan looked surprised. "Your husband is Qin Pinsen! He's not an ordinary person! This is already a very low standard!"

Mingyun smiled enigmatically, "Then, how about I just give you a company and make you the CEO?"

"Great! Great!" Mingxuan's eyes lit up.

Mingyun was too lazy to waste any more words with him and said directly, "You have to wear pants the size of your ass. I'm embarrassed to even hear you make such a request."

Mingxuan slammed her chopsticks down. "What do you mean? You're not going to help me? Are you even my sister?!"

Ming Changfu lit a cigarette. "Daughter, think about it carefully. Since you married Young Master Qin, has our family ever asked you to ask him for help?"

"No, I didn't ask you to look for them," Mingyun said. "Wasn't it because when I got married, I gave you all the dowry the Qin family gave me that you promised me you wouldn't trouble the Qin family?"

Ming Changfu puffed out a cloud of smoke and said, "Don't mention the bride price to me. If I hadn't raised you, you wouldn't have had the chance to marry into a top-tier wealthy family in Binhan City."

Mingyun continued, "Three years later, you said you wanted to ask the Qin family for money to start a business. I promised to give you 50,000 yuan a month for living expenses before you finally gave up."

Ming Changfu scratched his head, his eyes gleaming with cunning. "How about this, you either increase our living allowance to 80,000 yuan, or you go and tell Qin Pinsen to arrange a job for his brother-in-law with a monthly salary of over 30,000 yuan."

Mingyun almost fainted.

"I saw the news yesterday that Qin Pinsen has returned to China," Ming Changfu said with a forced smile. "Daughter, if you don't speak up for your brother, I'll have to find some time to meet my good son-in-law myself."

Mingyun was startled.

Given Ming Changfu's personality, who knows what embarrassing things he might do?

This is also why Mingyun did not tell her family that she wanted a divorce.

We can only try to calm him down first.

"Qin Pinsen is very busy," Mingyun said without changing her expression. "I'll try my best to talk to him. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first. Dad, little brother, you two enjoy your meal."

Before leaving, she wanted to say goodbye to her grandmother.

But Grandma fell asleep after eating.

She glanced around from the doorway, said goodbye to her mother, and then left.

Today is Mingyun's last day of vacation. Tomorrow she will go to work as usual at her teacher's plastic surgery hospital.

She planned to use the remaining half day to clean the house.

I'll take Tianheng to kindergarten again when I have some free time in a few days.

Exhausted, I returned home to find that I still had some wine left over from the impromptu purchase I made the night before.

She threw them all away at once.

I've decided never to touch this thing again.

Not only does drinking too much make you feel unwell, but more importantly, it doesn't solve any real problems.

She then turned on her home stereo and played soothing classical piano music.

To make it easier to work, I changed into the tight-fitting vest and yoga pants that I usually wear when exercising at home.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Mingyun hummed a tune and casually opened the door.

The person standing before them was none other than Qin Pinsen.

The moment Qin Pinsen saw her, his gaze became fixed on her...
