Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 1553

Chapter 1553: What a Realistic Young Lady

In less than two hours after the buyer appeared, a fifteen-million-yuan card indeed appeared in Xu Shengnan’s hands. So, the property deed of this house naturally belonged to someone else.

Once she received the money, Xu Shengnan immediately transferred the amount that the court had ruled as Fang Shiyou’s into his account without hesitation. “Fang Shiyou, from now on, there is nothing between us.” With this, Xu Shengnan left without even turning back, leaving Fang Shiyou alone there in a daze.

With the divorce certificate and his bank card in his hands, Fang Shiyou questioned himself as to whether it had been right for him to go through with this divorce.

“You’re back?” When Mother Fang saw that her son was listless, she knew that all procedures had been completed. From today, Xu Shengnan was no longer her daughter-in-law. “All right, now that things are the way they are, there’s no use for us to keep thinking about it. You’re free now, so you should be able to bring the one outside home, right? Don’t forget that she has your son, my grandson, in her stomach!”

Other than not being able to give her a grandson, Mother Fang had to admit that Xu Shengnan was a rarely seen good daughter-in-law.

Xu Shengnan had paid for everything in their family. As for whatever her son earned, it was up to him how he wanted to spend it. Even so, Xu Shengnan had never looked down on her mother-in-law or her husband or bullied them just because she had spent so much on their family.

Unfortunately, whatever she said or did was useless as long as she did not produce a son.

Fang Shiyou entered the bathroom to freshen up. “I won’t be able to bring her back for the time being. The rented house she’s staying in is pretty good. I’ve already paid for the rent and the contract only expires in a month. Not only will she not move over here, but we’ll have to move over there. The house is no longer ours, so we won’t be able to stay here any longer.”

Since this was no longer their house and they had to move out, there was no point in asking his girlfriend to move in and then move out. It would only be upsetting for everyone then.

“The total sum of what I’ve saved over these years and the money I got today, as well as my pension, doesn’t even add up to four million yuan. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the 4th Ring and 5th Ring to see if there are any suitable houses for us to purchase. Then, our family of four can move over together.”

“We’re not going to stay in the 3rd Ring neighborhood anymore? Won’t it be far from your workplace and difficult for you to travel back and forth?” Mother Fang did not think of much, but she was reluctant to let her son toil so hard after having enjoyed a good life for the first half of his life. “If you really buy a house, how will you pay for the mortgage? You have to marry that woman, but you aren’t as capable as Xu Shengnan to carry the entire burden of the mortgage.”

Fang Shiyou laughed bitterly. “Didn’t you say that everything was worth it as long as it was for my son? We can’t say anything now that this is what the court ruled. No matter how hard it is, I’ll have to bear that burden. Who else can I blame for wanting a son and you wanting a grandson? If we have to live further, then that’s what we’ll do. At least, Xu Shengnan wasn’t so bitter and the car is still mine. And she didn’t take a single cent of whatever savings I accumulated over these past few years.”

He had made his own calculations before giving his mistress an allowance. Fang Shiyou would never touch the savings that he had accumulated. When his salary was insufficient, he would either ask Mother Fang or Xu Shengnan for money.

At least, Fang Shiyou still had some money. Otherwise, at this point in time, there was nothing else Fang Shiyou and his mother could do but cry.

“Shiyou, do you think this will work? Why don’t we forget about buying a house and just rent a house in the 3rd Ring?” It would be easier that way.

“No.” Fang Shiyou shook his head in refusal. “In those days, you and Dad worked so hard just to buy a house. Dad had overworked himself while he was still young and that was why he left us so early. There’s no reason for me to live like we did in the past and only rent a house instead of living in our own house, especially after how hard Dad had worked just to buy a house to settle down in the capital. Moreover, even if it’s just a small house, without a house of more than ninety square meters, your grandson’s mother may not be willing to marry into our family. Then, your grandson may not even be able to enter this world.”

Mother Fang’s expression soured. “Young ladies nowadays are so realistic. They don’t look at a person’s character but at his money? While you were with Xu Shengnan, our house was not big either. It was even smaller than the one that Xu Shengnan was living in. Xu Shengnan didn’t even despise us even after moving from a big house to a small one. We were the ones who requested to sell that small house to move into a bigger one.”

Now that she compared this young lady to Xu Shengnan in the past, she was seriously much worse.

Fang Shiyou did not know if he should laugh at himself or his mother. Instead, he only said monotonously, “Xu Shengnan is good at everything but giving birth to a son. That’s her only weakness. That’s enough to wipe out all her good points. That woman may have a thousand shortcomings, but she’s able to give you a grandson, and that’s enough to cover all her shortcomings. Mom, this is what you normally tell me.”

“…” Mother Fang was stunned for a moment and could not answer him. “I-it’s not that I don’t want to, but a house this big like ours already costs more than ten million yuan. If we give it to Ling Ling, won’t it be letting someone else stand to gain from it? If we have a grandson, that’s different. I just want our Fang family’s assets to be left to the Fang family’s children. Isn’t that only right after all?”

A house worth ten million yuan—she had toiled her entire life with her husband but could not even afford a fraction of that. Mother Fang was extremely reluctant for such a huge fortune to be transferred to someone else the moment Ling Ling got married.

Now, Fang Shiyou would no longer be mystified by such words.

It no longer mattered whether their family had a son or daughter because that highly valued property was no longer the Fang family’s.

At this time, the news that Mother Fang had set the timer for suddenly popped up. It was just as well. Mother Fang felt as though Fang Shiyou was blaming her for everything that had happened, so she decided to turn her attention to the TV to avoid eye contact with Fang Shiyou.

But when Mother Fang saw that beautiful face on the TV, she was taken aback. Mother Fang rubbed her eyes, took a closer look at the face shown on the TV, and then rubbed her eyes again. Her eyesight was fine. “Shiyou, who is this young lady? Why is she on the TV? I remember I set the TV for CCTV.”

“This is the new minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who has only been in office for a few years. She’s really impressive. She’s not only beautiful but also capable. Very few women have the ability to become the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.” Talking about this, Fang Shiyou thought of Xu Shengnan.

Compared to ordinary women, Xu Shengnan had done what most others could not.
