Chapter 457 Property Redistribution
In Lingyun Temple, Wang Chenglin felt extremely regretful.
If I had known this, I shouldn’t have come here!
He has been a manager of the branch company for many years, how can he stand the investigation?
Especially for branches of listed companies, how many people in this position are clean?
He is not afraid of being fired by the company. After all, he still has the resources and connections. If he sets up a small company of his own, he can also succeed successfully.
But if we really investigate him, he might end up in jail!
Wang Chenglin was completely panicked. His forehead was covered with sweat and his eyes were filled with fear and panic.
He began to think about how to deal with the situation in his mind, trying to find a way out of the predicament.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and his tone was no longer as tough as before: "Master Shen, we have something to discuss..."
Wang Chenglin's attitude took a 180-degree turn, and he said with a big smile on his face: "Master Shen, this is all my fault. I was bewitched and blinded by greed. I am willing to back down. Let's discuss how to solve this matter."
Zhong Minglan looked at Wang Chenglin's face and felt angry and sad. "How do you want to solve this?"
Wang Chenglin paused, with a hint of pleading in his eyes, and continued, "I am willing to redistribute the property, and I will obey you as to the custody of our daughter."
Zhong Minglan sneered: "The custody of our daughter must belong to me, so how do you plan to distribute the property?"
Wang Chenglin was silent for a long time before saying, "The house you live in now belongs to you, the savings will be divided equally between you, and the car will also be given to you. Is that ok?"
Zhong Minglan narrowed her eyes. It was really sad that a couple who had lived together for more than ten years had come to this point. "How much savings do you have?"
Wang Chenglin thought for a moment and said, "About 400,000 yuan. It's all in the card. We can split it in half when the time comes."
Zhong Minglan shook her head: "For so many years, I have been responsible for all the expenses of the family."
"You only have over 400,000? Are you kidding me?"
"Have you forgotten the money you spent on buying that woman a house and a car? The house and the car together must be close to two million, right?"
"And your funds, insurance, and stocks. You've invested a lot of money, right? These are all our joint assets during marriage!"
"I don't ask for much, just 400,000 in savings plus that woman's house and car!"
"I know that the house and the car are both in the name of that woman. It doesn't matter. I will sue her when the time comes."
When Wang Chenglin heard Zhong Minglan's words, his face turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead more rapidly. His eyes were full of panic and anger, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously.
"Zhong Minglan, do you want to listen to what you are saying?!" Wang Chenglin couldn't help but raise his voice, his eyes wide open, "That money was earned through hard work, and you are leaving. Have you considered me?"
Zhong Minglan snorted coldly and stared at Wang Chenglin with a sharp gaze: "Why didn't you think about me and my daughter when you cheated on me?"
Wang Chenglin avoided Zhong Minglan's gaze guiltily, staggered back a few steps, and stammered, "Well, I have to leave a way out for myself. You took away everything I could share, how am I going to live in the future?" As he spoke, he kept wiping the sweat from his face with his hands.
Zhong Minglan took a step forward and pointed at Wang Chenglin's nose angrily: "How dare you talk about survival? When you were having fun with that woman, did you ever think about my and my daughter's survival?"
Wang Chenglin's body trembled slightly, and his lips quivered: "Minglan, I know I am sorry for you, but things have come to this, can't you leave me some leeway?"
Zhong Minglan looked at him coldly, without any mercy: "You asked for this. If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
"I can promise you that as long as you agree, it will be considered as a lump sum payment for your daughter's support."
Wang Chenglin was so angry that his teeth itched. His daughter was already sixteen years old! Child support would only need to be paid for two more years! Why would he need so much money?
Wang Chenglin took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, tried to soften his attitude, and said, "Minglan, can we discuss this further?"
"I've given you everything, where do you want me to live? Can you at least leave... that house to me? You can't let me sleep on the street, can you?"
"How about this, you and I both make concessions. I'll sell Xiao Zhou's car, and then give you the 400,000 yuan in the card, and you can leave the house to me. Okay?"
Zhong Minglan was unmoved. She folded her arms across her chest and said firmly, "There is nothing to discuss. My daughter has just started high school and will go to college in the future. She needs money for everything."
"And I've been working hard to support this family all these years. Now that it has come to this, I have to think about my future."
"If you don't agree, we'll see you in court, and you might lose even more then."
Wang Chenglin's face became even uglier. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again: "Shiyu, it is Dad who is sorry for you and your mother. Please persuade your mother."
Wang Shiyu bit her lips tightly, tears clearly visible on her face, "I want to live with my mother. I think my mother is not wrong."
"That house and car must be returned!"
When Wang Chenglin heard what his daughter Wang Shiyu said, he was stunned. He stood there blankly with an extremely complicated expression on his face.
He looked at his daughter's eyes full of disappointment and determination, his lips trembling slightly.
In his heart, he always thought that his daughter was still young and didn't understand these things, and as long as he made amends afterwards, everything would be fine. But now, he found that he was wrong, extremely wrong.
He looked at Wang Shiyu and said in a hoarse voice, "Shiyu, Dad is sorry for you." However, Wang Shiyu just looked at him coldly, without a trace of warmth in her eyes.
Wang Chenglin felt a sense of despair. He knew that if he did not agree to Zhong Minglan's request, the relationship between him and his daughter would be completely broken, which would be a consequence he could not bear.
He lowered his head, not daring to look into his daughter's eyes, and said weakly, "Okay, I agree. I'll go back and take care of the house and the car."
After the sound fell, Wang Chenglin turned away in despair.
There was no surprise on Zhong Minglan's face, as if she had expected him to compromise. Wang Shiyu was not happy about Wang Chenglin's agreement, and her eyes remained cold.
Zhong Minglan hugged her daughter and said softly, "Shiyu, don't be afraid, mom will never leave you again." Wang Shiyu hugged her mother tightly and nodded.
"Master Shen...thank you...thank you..." Zhong Minglan took her daughter's hand and bowed deeply.
