Chapter 847 - 253: [Big Bombshell!]
But if you look closely, what you are holding is not gold, but a piece of dog shit.
Then when this piece of dog shit is thrown away, you won’t feel any disappointment, you won’t be sad."
Chen Yan said, gently holding Lu Sisi’s hand: "I hope you understand that the marriage of your parents, from the very beginning, was rotten inside and out!
So, don’t pin your hopes for harmonious family and beautiful kinship on these two people anymore."
Lu Sisi lowered her head and pondered for a while, and the trace of slight sadness in her eyes gradually dissipated.
She leaned over and rested her head on Chen Yan’s shoulder.
But moments later, Lu Sisi suddenly chuckled and then gently punched Chen Yan.
"What you said just now was really harsh.
How could you describe my parents’ marriage as being like dog..."
Chen Yan smiled lightly, carefully observing Lu Sisi’s emotions, and only then felt relieved enough to embrace the girl in his arms.

Yang Jiaming came downstairs more than half an hour later.
His expression was grim, and he walked into the living room with a dark face, took a look at Chen Yan and Lu Sisi, then took a deep breath: "I’m leaving now... Sisi, I’ll leave your mom to your care. If there are any problems, contact me."
Lu Sisi responded softly with an "Mm," without saying much more.
Yang Jiaming left, and neither Chen Yan nor Lu Sisi got up to see him off.
It was Lu Sisi who, after Yang Jiaming left, gently wiped her forehead: "I’ll go check on my mom."
"I’ll go, it’s just right since I need to treat your mom today." Chen Yan shook his head: "You take a break."
"Then I’ll go prepare lunch," Lu Sisi replied softly.

In the room on the second floor, when Chen Yan reopened the door and came in, Lu Xiuting, who was sitting on the bed, shivered a little, looking at Chen Yan with some panic.
Chen Yan’s face was cold, he walked to the foot of the bed, squinting as he looked at Lu Xiuting.
Lu Xiuting’s face turned pale, and she said in a low voice: "I-I’m sorry, I just, I just didn’t handle things well, I... I didn’t mean to make such a big fuss. I was just..."
Chen Yan said calmly: "You knew the card Yang Jiaming was holding, thought he wouldn’t dare to divorce, so you deliberately wanted to gain the upper hand, wanted to trouble him, control him, thinking since he wouldn’t dare to divorce, you’d roundly curse him, to gain the upper hand, so even if you don’t divorce in the future, it would be better..."
"Yes, it’s that I didn’t manage properly," Lu Xiuting said softly.
"Ha."
Chen Yan looked coldly at Lu Xiuting.
This woman is greedy, shameless, and at the same time foolish!
Yang Jiaming, that kind of man, though also intolerable, is not foolish. How could you easily control him?
Using the crime of infidelity to judge the other party is a good idea.
But... the problem is, you have to be clean yourself!
Lu Xiuting’s private life was exposed by Yang Jiaming today, how could she have the face to accuse Yang Jiaming of infidelity under such circumstances?
No wonder Yang Jiaming, though he came with the intention to reconcile, was still enraged, finally flipping the table and leaving.
If it hadn’t been for a strange encounter years ago, gaining that "voice inside the jade" and carrying out an inheritance deal...
With a mind like Lu Xiuting’s, as Yang Jiaming said, she would be fit only as a screw-turner in a factory for her whole life.
"I don’t care what means you use, whether you want to control him or gain the upper hand, as you please."
Chen Yan said flatly: "I only look at the results. My requirement is that you and Yang Jiaming don’t divorce, and both should try to give Lu Sisi some family love as compensation.
I don’t care what means you use, I only look at results.
I only hope you remember, my treatment for your illness, prolonging your life, comes at a cost.
If you can’t meet my requirements, then you can’t survive."
Lu Xiuting shivered!
She suddenly raised her head, looked at Chen Yan, gritting her teeth: "Chen Yan... aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Lu Sisi? That you use the means of helping me live to threaten me..."
Chen Yan looked at Lu Xiuting, genuinely curious, wondering how much water was in her head to utter such a self-threat?
"Lu Xiuting... did your mother get a fetal protection injection when she had you? Or a fetal protection injection, right into your head?"
Chen Yan sneered: "You can tell Lu Sisi, see who she believes, you or me."
Pausing, Chen Yan continued slowly: "I’m really curious about what makes a fool like you dare to threaten me.
Not to mention your life is in my hands—these threats, gaining the upper hand, these things are based on having enough bargaining chips.
What bargaining chips do you have to threaten me with?
Anger me, and if my relationship with Lu Sisi breaks, then what? Then you’re on a dead end.
Using this kind of method to threaten me? Are you afraid you’re not dying fast enough?
Oh right, I shouldn’t really question you like this.
Because today I also realized how foolish you are!
You and Yang Jiaming, how do you think, with those few insults and reproaches, you’d mistakenly believe you can gain the upper hand, and later on dominate in your relationship with him?
What are you thinking? Is it a fantasy? A dream?
What do you have?
Although Yang Jiaming is a bastard, there’s one thing he said that’s absolutely right.
You are nothing but a leech, living off Yang Jiaming for twenty years, for a life of affluence.
With not even a shred of bargaining chip, yet foolishly believing you can gain the upper hand through quarrels and taking a stance?"
Lu Xiuting shivered, suddenly turning pale: "You... Chen Yan, no matter what, I am Lu Sisi’s mother, I am her biological mother..."
"Yes, biologically her mother. Other than that, in my eyes, you’re just a malicious, greedy, foolish old woman." Chen Yan said calmly.
"..."
"For you to dare to use such words to threaten me, it clearly shows you’re utterly selfish and shameless, without a care for your daughter at all.
Because, to tell Lu Sisi about me using your life to make you work for me?
This kind of revelation, the worst outcome, would be to ruin my relationship with Lu Sisi, causing a rupture between us?
And then what? Your daughter loses me, her biggest reliance?
Your action is tantamount to using your daughter’s happiness as a bargaining chip to threaten me, in exchange for your own health, life?
You really deserve the title of a good mother! Shameless!"
Lu Xiuting quivered, finally biting her lip, pallidly saying in a low voice: "I-I’m sorry... I was just blinded by anger, I-I didn’t mean that... I..."
"I don’t care what you mean." Chen Yan shook his head: "Three days, I’ll give you three days to negotiate with Yang Jiaming.
If not, I can make you return to how you were a few days ago."
Saying that, Chen Yan turned and walked to the door: "Lu Sisi is downstairs, if you want to reveal this, go ahead—you’d just have to shout out, I won’t stop you from talking to her."
"I dare not! I absolutely dare not!" Lu Xiuting hurriedly begged for mercy.
Chen Yan smiled and turned to leave.
