Chapter 699: Paying Someone Back in Their Own Coin 2

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

Father Sheng's words immediately made Mother Chen's expression turn extremely ugly.

The family really didn't have any spare money. Spending money abroad was very expensive. Although going overseas sounded fancy, the fact that they had no money was also true.

"You're threatening us?"

"I'm not threatening you either, just giving you a heads-up. Pissing me off won't do you any good. Also—"

Father Sheng's gaze turned sharp. "You built houses illegally, destroyed cultivated land resources, and damaged rural resources. If this gets serious, you could be held legally responsible."

Mother Chen's expression turned extremely ugly. "How is it illegal construction…"

"I've investigated. Your area should be limited to one hundred square meters, but it's long since exceeded that by a lot. That's public resource. According to regulations, the illegal construction has to be demolished. And you once misappropriated the land on the back mountain for farming—that is absolutely not allowed."

Father Sheng's every word struck home.

This made Mother Chen's expression turn extremely ugly.

It really was just as Father Sheng said.

Their family had been greedy for small gains and misappropriated the land.

If it really got investigated, they'd really have to face a lawsuit, and then the house would be demolished too. How much money would they lose!

Moreover, they might even go to jail. They were already up in years—how could they withstand that?

Most importantly, it would affect three generations of descendants. What girl's family would agree to marry into a household with a criminal record in the future?

When that time came, even if Chen Ge wanted a wife, he wouldn't get one.

They wouldn't be able to hold their heads up in the village either!

Father Chen was anxious too. "What should we do? Mother of the child!"

Mother Chen was also so anxious she was about to cry.

She had never imagined that such a trump card would be caught in Father Sheng's hands.

The previously arrogant Mother Chen now knelt before Father Sheng.

"Mr. Sheng, I beg you, don't report us, and don't call the police. We were wrong!"

Mother Chen was so scared that tears were falling.

She really didn't want to go to jail, and she didn't want her child to be dragged into it.

Father Chen knelt down as well, repentant. "This old woman doesn't understand anything, her temper is too awful. How could she make things difficult for your daughter? Clearly her falling in love with my son is my son's good fortune, and we still picked and chose like buying vegetables!"

Mother Chen immediately nodded. "Yes, yes, we were wrong! I shouldn't have given her dirty looks and spoken disrespectfully. Please, for the sake of us being future in-laws, just let this matter rot in your stomach and don't tell anyone, okay?"

Now she truly realized the seriousness of the matter.

Lest all her efforts come to nothing, she threw all dignity to the back of her mind.

She only wanted to protect the whole family.

Father Chen's gaze was like a shuttle. "Didn't you say we were reaching above ourselves, that your daughter should find someone else? Why are you calling us in-laws now? This clinging behavior doesn't seem like your style."

Mother Chen wrung her hands and squeezed out a smile at Father Chen. "I'm uneducated, don't take my words seriously. I don't understand anything! The two children are in mutual love, so as parents why would we break them up!"

As she spoke, she even tugged at Father Chen.

Father Chen nodded fawningly as well. "That's right, young love—we parents can't beat the mandarin ducks apart. I think Xinyi is a very good child, she and my son complement each other perfectly. I acknowledge this marriage!"

Father Sheng sneered. "But I don't acknowledge it anymore!"

That single sentence left Father Chen and Mother Chen dumbfounded.

"My daughter does like Chen Ge, but who can guarantee she can accept that you have a criminal record, and that it won't affect her children in the future? I'm her father. I can absolutely arrange for other men to meet her, just as you said. Maybe she'll actually fall for one of them."

Father Sheng said it lightly, but it made Father Chen and Mother Chen tremble with fear.

Mother Chen was already so anxious that tears were streaming down.

She immediately grabbed Father Sheng's hand, agitated. "Mr. Sheng—oh, no, in-law, I believe she's not that kind of person! Their feelings for each other are truly very good, she absolutely won't fall for someone else."

Father Sheng stared at Mother Chen. "Then what are you doing making trouble in the middle? Better to make a marriage than break one, yet you repeatedly gave my daughter a hard time. When she marries over in the future, what if she gets bullied by you?"

"I won't, I won't bully her!" Mother Chen shook her head. "I'll even yield to her, let her eat the best and drink the best. She'll have the final say, she can do whatever she wants!"

Father Sheng looked at the weeping Mother Chen and sneered. "Words are no proof. Why should I believe you? On what basis should I take the risk of helping you? What if I push my daughter into a tiger's mouth?"

Mother Chen grew agitated. "I'll write a guarantee! I'll sign it! One copy for you and one for me. If I treat her badly, then I'll leave myself at your mercy."

Father Sheng nodded. "That's good then. Write the guarantee. If you bully my daughter and make her unhappy, I'll go expose you, and you'll compensate my daughter three million."

This family cared so much about money, so he'd use money to punish them.

"This…" Mother Chen hesitated a little.

Father Chen was the anxious one. "What are you standing there for? Write the guarantee! You want to go in, but I don't!"

Mother Chen could only grit her teeth and go write the guarantee.

She didn't want to go in and tread the sewing machine either, so she could only agree to Father Sheng's demands.

After writing the guarantee, she began to sign and press her fingerprint.

After Father Sheng received the guarantee, he looked it over carefully and was quite satisfied. "After all, this is still an illegal matter, but fortunately the legal system is complete now, so a fine will do. I'll buy the illegally built land, and I'll also pay to buy the deed for that plot on the back mountain for you."

Father Sheng's words made Father Chen and Mother Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, in-law, in-law is truly too kind!"

"I really was blind before. How could I bully Xinyi? When Xinyi comes, I'll definitely treat her well!"

Father Sheng snorted coldly. "Don't celebrate too early now, I'm not finished. Don't think that just because my daughter became your family's daughter-in-law, you can borrow her authority to bully others."

"Let me tell you, even as one family, you're not allowed to use my connections to demand special treatment, much less take any advantages, otherwise don't blame me for kicking you when you're down."

Just a few sentences had already frightened Father Chen and Mother Chen.

They both knew full well that Father Sheng's methods were very tough.

Without ever having dealt with them, he had easily learned all their secrets.

After dealing with him in the future, wouldn't he catch even more dirt on them?

Where would they get the guts? Did they want to rot in prison?

"Never! Absolutely not! I'll even make my son treat Xinyi well!" Mother Chen said fawningly.

Father Chen nodded too. "Right, I'll also supervise my wife. Something like before is absolutely impossible in the future, rest assured."

Father Sheng nodded. "Then when your son wants to work in H City in the future, you two won't object and force my daughter to live here too."
