My wife is in my arms

Chapter 958 Solitude III

The city in the afternoon is like being roasted in an oven.

This is the heat unique to summer, with cicadas chirping incessantly. Li Xiaohong rushed home and found her son and daughter-in-law still arguing, which gave her a real headache.

They're all troublesome individuals.

That's how her son is.

The daughter-in-law is the same.

Although her son's business ventures have depleted her retirement savings, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. While her family's financial situation is indeed not as good as before, it is certainly much better than that of an average family.

She receives 50,000 yuan in pocket money every month, and her mother-in-law doesn't shortchange her by a single penny.

Unfortunately, they ended up getting divorced one after another.

However, this is also her son's fault. He has no talent whatsoever, yet he insisted on marrying a minor model. Li Xiaohong has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and knows very well what kind of people these minor models are.

They weren't very capable, but they had seen the world and became arrogant.

Earlier, her daughter-in-law had wanted her, as her agent, to pave the way for her in the entertainment industry, but Li Xiaohong politely declined.

Looking back now, her refusal back then was undoubtedly the most correct decision. She wasn't satisfied with a monthly allowance of 50,000 yuan and would make a fuss about divorce every now and then. If she had really become famous, she probably wouldn't have hesitated to divorce her son, who is not yet a successful entrepreneur.

When the two were dating, Li Xiaohong reminded her son that it was okay to date young models, but he should never marry one.

When a man looks for a wife, he must first consider his own circumstances.

If you have the ability to find a beautiful wife, that's fine, because you can control her. If you don't have the ability, then don't look for someone so beautiful. If you do look for someone, find someone with an average appearance, an honest personality, and a good or bad family background.

It would be even better if it were less than ideal, because girls from these kinds of families tend to be more discerning and self-sufficient. But her son just wouldn't listen, as if she, his mother, wanted to harm him.

it's good now.

He failed in his business venture and was also scammed.

My wife wants a divorce again, and the most crucial thing is... we've been married for so many years, but we don't even have a child.

"mom"

Upon seeing his mother appear, the man standing at the door immediately called out.

Li Xiaohong was too lazy to pay attention to her son. His business ventures were failing, and now he couldn't even keep an eye on his wife. She didn't know what the point of his life was.

She was carrying around a pile of KPIs all day long, acting like a full-time employee. She gestured for her son to move aside, then knocked on the door and said, "Xiaoqiao, come out! Let's talk."

As a mother-in-law, Li Xiaohong has already lowered her stance considerably. It's not that she wants to be this way, but rather that she loses all confidence the moment she glances at her son.

Upon hearing her speak, the door opened, and a woman with a pretty face and a good figure walked out. She was about thirty years old, but quite tall, and even at home, she still wore exquisite makeup.

After her daughter-in-law came out and sat on the sofa, Li Xiaohong also sat down. She asked softly, "Why this time?!"

Ask your son.

A woman named Zheng Qiao pointed to Fang Han, who was standing to the side.

"you say"

Li Xiaohong turned to look at her own troublesome first-generation entrepreneur.

Under his mother's watchful gaze, Fang Han opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Finally, Zheng Qiao spoke up, "Your son's current investor has run off with the money again."

"..."

Li Xiaohong was stunned for a moment.

Then her head started buzzing. She'd failed in her business twice, been scammed once, and now, after so much time, she'd been scammed again? It all felt unreal to Li Xiaohong. Had her family, the first generation of entrepreneurs, stumbled upon a den of swindlers?!
After a long while, Li Xiaohong took a deep breath and asked, "How much were you scammed this time!?"

"Thirteen million"

Fang Han was somewhat unsure of himself.

"I……"

Li Xiaohong stood up and slapped her son across the face.

After being slapped by his mother, Fang Han lowered his head and remained silent. Although his attitude was good, it did not appease Li Xiaohong. After slapping him once, she slapped him again, slapping her son twice in a row. Li Xiaohong did not even ask her son if he had called the police.

I was scammed last time, and I haven't heard anything since I reported it to the police. Especially since the person who did this must have already prepared an escape route, they're probably off enjoying themselves somewhere with that money by now.

After venting her anger, Li Xiaohong turned her attention to her daughter-in-law and said, "Xiaoqiao, even if Fang Han has been swindled out of another thirteen million, our family still doesn't need your little bit of money, right?"

"Mom, she wants to debut as a celebrity."

Fang Han suddenly spoke up.

"Debut!?"

Li Xiaohong was taken aback.

Sure enough, this was an opportunity for her son to be scammed out of 13 million again, and she was once again asking her, her mother-in-law, to make a comeback. But how could that be possible?!
She's already causing trouble before even debuting; if she does debut, what chance will her son have? Without much hesitation, Li Xiaohong said, "Xiaoqiao, you know I'm just your manager. I don't have any real power in the company. I've told you before, even if I wanted to pave the way for you, I don't have the influence."

"Mom, I don't believe you. You've raised a pop diva like Liu Fei, how could you not be capable?! If you're not going to help me, you can just say so. But since that's the case, then don't stop me from divorcing your son."

Zheng Qiao didn't even lift her eyelids.

"mom"

Fang Han called out again, his tone earnest.

Li Xiaohong glanced at her son, thought for a moment, and said, "Fang Han, this is the last time I'll advise you. Don't start this business. The most important thing is to know your own limitations. You're stupid and indecisive. The smartest thing you ever did was to be born as my son. As for whether or not to get a divorce, you two can discuss it."

As she spoke, Li Xiaohong looked at her daughter-in-law again and said, "Zheng Qiao, there's something I've been holding back for a long time: you only have the life you have now because you married my son. If it weren't for that, you might still be standing next to that car. Every woman dreams of marrying a rich man, but only a handful succeed. Most end up as mistresses without any status or recognition. Fifty thousand a month may not seem like much, but many girls, even if they become mistresses of rich men, don't necessarily earn that much."

This thirteen million completely shattered Li Xiaohong's last line of defense.

She had a son who had no talent but insisted on starting his own business.

In addition... to put it bluntly, from Li Xiaohong's perspective, her daughter-in-law wasn't particularly beautiful. Being able to marry her son was already the best thing that could happen to her, yet she was still not satisfied and was determined to break into the entertainment industry.

Don't you even consider whether you have the fate to do so?

Standing up from the sofa, Li Xiaohong said to her son, "Your own wife, if you can reason with her, then reason with her. If you can't, then she's not your wife. In the future... we have several sports cars at home, you can drive them around now and then. Lots of girls will want to sit in the passenger seat. As a man, if you want to succeed, you have to learn to make choices. Remember, everyone in this world has a price."

Done.

Li Xiaohong gave her daughter-in-law a deep look before leaving.

That's all she could say, and that's basically what she did.

But Li Xiaohong had to admit that her approach to educating her son... was just as disastrous as Han Hui's approach to educating her daughter and Wang Yu's approach to educating her son.

The reason she spoke so harshly to her daughter-in-law this time was to remind her not to forget her identity as a freelance model after a few years of good life.

Back at Liu Fei's house.

When Li Xiaohong opened the door, after being disturbed by her son and daughter-in-law's outburst, she decided to stay at Liu Fei's house for a while longer.

Seeing Liu Fei lying on the sofa staring blankly at the living room ceiling, Li Xiaohong couldn't help but ask, "Were you scammed too?! Why are you so distracted?!"
