On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 72 What I gave her was not a cage, but wings!

"I know you, Chen Mo. I've asked your teacher about it." Li Fengzhi said to Chen Mo with an angry look on her face.

"It's really my honor." Chen Mo looked at Li Fengzhi with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

"I know you come from a wealthy family and are a rich young man."

“It’s just okay.”

"You don't have to be so frivolous and flattering with me here. I know what kind of people you are."

As she spoke, Li Fengzhi looked at Su Yuqing with a face full of bitterness and distress and said, "Don't think that just because he's handsome and rich, you feel that you have found your lifelong home.

How old are you now? What do you know about love?

Even if you are adults, this kind of playboy is the most untrustworthy and the one who takes women the least seriously.

He is the same kind of person as your dad. When he likes you, he will take good care of you, but when he doesn't like you anymore, he will kick you away.

They have beauty and financial resources, and they can get any woman they want. Can't you see the lesson I've taught you? The last thing you want in a man is a man who is both good-looking and rich!

Ordinary men will treat you as a treasure, but in the eyes of such men, you are nothing!

Sooner or later he will get tired of you and abandon you. It's not too late for you to realize your mistake and turn back!"

Hearing this, Su Yuqing turned her head and looked at Chen Mo with tears in her eyes. She didn't believe it. She didn't believe that Chen Mo would be the same person as her father.

Besides, they have never confirmed their relationship and are not together, so there is no question of abandonment.

"Auntie, you are right. People cannot guarantee what their future will be like. No matter how nice some people say now, no one knows what they will be like in the future. But I only know one thing, that is, Yuqing is with me, and what she gets and leaves behind will be happy memories, and that is enough." Chen Mo grabbed his sleeve and spoke while gently wiping away Su Yuqing's tears.

Chen Mo simply didn't bother to write empty promises like "I'll love you for ten thousand years" or "I'll treat you well my whole life."

He only knew that since he loved her, he had to cherish her. Since he loved her in the present moment, he had to cherish the present moment and treat her as everything to himself.

"I don't care what sweet words you used to trick my daughter into giving me her. I'm solemnly warning you today: stay away from my daughter. Otherwise, if I find out you've hurt her, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Then I solemnly warn you that Yuqing is now over sixteen years old and has a stable job and income that can guarantee her daily needs. Legally, she has the qualifications and rights to break away from your guardianship.

I hope you will not harass her unnecessarily in school or in life. If you care for her and protect her as a mother, I welcome that at any time. But if you are exercising your motherly rights and want her to be your puppet forever, I'm sorry, I won't let her live like that anymore."

As Chen Mo spoke, he took out the labor contract and placed it in front of Li Fengzhi.

Li Fengzhi's fingertips trembled as she picked up the labor contract, the paper drawing a sharp arc in the air. "Sixteen years old? Custody?" She suddenly sneered and slammed the contract on the entrance cabinet, causing the glass vase to shake slightly. "Okay, okay, you're playing legal games with me at such a young age. I don't understand what's legal or illegal. It's natural for parents to discipline their children. No one can control it. Don't try to fool me!"

Chen Mo calmly protected Su Yuqing behind him. The boy's upright shoulders blocked the twilight from the window. He spoke firmly, "According to Article 18 of my country's Civil Code, minors over the age of sixteen who rely on their own labor as their primary source of income are deemed to have full civil capacity."

While speaking, Chen Mo opened his mobile phone and searched for relevant terms of the Civil Code and showed them to Li Fengzhi.

At the same time, he tapped his knuckles against his mother's signature on the document. "Yuqing is currently legally employed by my family as a nanny, with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan—enough for an independent life."

"Six thousand!?" Li Fengzhi's pupils suddenly contracted, and her nails made a harsh scratching sound on the counter surface.

This figure was more than double her monthly income, and she suddenly realized that her daughter's frail body concealed such a resolute will to resist.

"Okay, okay, it's great to be rich. Even I can't control you anymore!"

After reading the content of the Civil Code that Chen Mo searched, Li Fengzhi knew that even if she didn't understand the law, this couldn't be fabricated by Chen Mo, but she still refused to give in.

"Don't talk to me about the law. If I don't agree, you can't leave. If you dare to take her away, I will bring the police to your house!" Li Fengzhi threatened Chen Mo.

"Auntie, let me be frank, everything we are doing now is legal and compliant.

Even if you call the police, we are in the right. No matter how you make trouble for us, it will be useless.

But you have to think carefully about the consequences of your unreasonable behavior and causing trouble for the police every time. You can ignore other people's gossip, but what about Yuqing's brother? What about her stepfather?
Have you ever considered about them? Will there be any bad words spread about your affairs that will affect them?

Especially since Xiaoyu is still so young, it would be easy for his classmates to isolate and bully him because of some rumors. You don’t want to see him being bullied at school because of your behavior!

Every blow was fatal, and Chen Mo's words completely hit Li Fengzhi's soft spot.

Yes, she felt that she owed Li Gang too much. His love for her was selfless, but her feelings towards him had always been one of guilt and compensation. How could she let her husband and son be treated badly because of her behavior?

"Okay, okay, get out of here!" Li Fengzhi, who was suppressed to the point of being powerless by a seventeen-year-old boy, could only grab the ceramic fortune cat at the entrance and smash it against the wall to vent her anger and powerlessness.

Bang! The porcelain fragments exploded into sharp starlight at Chen Mo's feet, but Chen Mo did not dodge at all. Instead, he completely blocked Su Yuqing behind him to prevent the fragments from flying onto her.

"Remember, get out of here! When this young master gets tired of playing with you, don't come back crying and beg me! You think you are a canary in a golden cage, but it won't be long before you realize how wrong your choice was." Li Fengzhi looked at her daughter, whom she had raised, with a face full of grief and indignation, and saw that she treated her without saying a word. She felt heartbroken.

Chen Mo bent down and picked up the largest piece of porcelain. The sharp edge left a red mark on his palm. "You're wrong. I'm not building a cage for her."

He gently placed the porcelain piece back on the counter. When he turned around and picked up the suitcase, the metal zipper clanged as crisply as a wind chime. "I will cherish her like a canary, but I won't put her in a cage. I will only teach her how to grow wings and fly into her own world."
