Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time! Chapter 150 - Sever Ties

Chapter 150: Sever Ties

Yun Xi finished what Chen Li wanted to say. After all, they had to put on a show and make the Chen family feel that they had taken advantage of the situation by making this statement. Only then would they be able to proceed smoothly.

“Are you really that heartless? Do you want to sever ties with your biological daughter? When you hand over the land to your daughter, your daughter will also have to fulfill her duty of supporting you in your old age. When you are old, my mother will also support you! Responsibility and obligation exist at the same time.”

Yun Xi put on an incredulous face. She made it sound as though she could not believe that the person in front of her was so cruel. She even acted like she was sad and reluctant.

“How can she support me in my old age? I never expected anything from her. I have my own son. My son will naturally support me in my old age and send me to my funeral. I don’t need her to do anything.”

Chen Sheng’s smile revealed that he had the same old thinking that only sons could take care of the family. When a daughter gets married, she would be water that has been thrown out. She would have nothing to do with her parents, and of course, there was no need for her to provide for her parents.

Moreover, there was no love between him and Chen Li since she was young. There was also a stepmother in this family. He must have a.s.sumed that Chen Li would not take good care of them. Therefore, Chen Sheng never counted on this daughter of his who had never been close to him.

“That’s right, father. I’ll take care of you until you die. There’s no need for this woman at all.”

Chen Xin continued to add insult to injury.

“Alright, since you are so heartless, then just sign this agreement of severing ties with us. Whoever goes back on their words in the future will be sc.u.m.”

Yun Xi pretended to be fl.u.s.tered and exasperated. This sentence sounded more like she was in a fit of pique, and she wanted to use this method to win back Chen Sheng’s heart.

However, how could such a person have any feelings for his daughter? He was only eager for his daughter to send money to him, and he definitely did not think of giving her a single cent from this family.

However, the reason why Yun Xi pretended to be like this was not to win back their hearts. She was merely urging them to sign this agreement as soon as possible. This way purely to let their guard down.

“Father, wait here. I’ll go find Scholar Zhang at the east end of our village and help us write this doc.u.ment.”

Chen Xin seemed to be afraid that the Yun family would go back on their word and wanted to find a middleman as soon as possible. He also wanted to write these doc.u.ments in black and white so that they could cut ties with Chen Li as soon as possible.

Zhang at the east end of the village knew some words, but he was not exactly a scholar. He had only read some poetry and books since he was young and everyone in the village called him Scholar Zhang.

However, Zhang had some regrets in his life. It was a trying time for his family, so he could not take the college entrance examination and enter university. He was keen to study and he felt incredibly sorry for himself. However, people had to get out of depression no matter what. Therefore, Zhang chose to stay in this poor and remote place to teach, hoping that the students he taught could go further and fulfill his unfulfilled wish.

However, the students usually attended cla.s.ses inconsistently. At other times, they could not afford tuition fees. Zhang also chose to help other people write doc.u.ments and earn some change to support himself.

The paperwork that was supposed to sever the relationship between father and daughter needed a middleman. Yun Xi was struggling with this matter. She did not know if she should call Ye Jun, who lived next door to Chen Sheng’s house. After all, she did not want him to get involved in this matter again.

After all, she knew how Yun Yang felt about Ye Yao. Perhaps they will become a family in the future. If that was the case, the legal nature of this paperwork would not be so stable anymore.

However, it just so happened that this talented Zhang had stepped forward to write the doc.u.ment. He had also acted as a witness in the process, which was in line with Yun Xi’s intentions.

Zhang’s house was not far from Chen Sheng’s, so it would only take a short walk to get there. Zhang explained the ins and outs of the matter and immediately wrote down this guarantee.

Chen Li and Chen Sheng both signed on to it. Zhang also wrote down his name on the guarantor and witness of the process.

There were two copies of the doc.u.ment. One was placed in Chen Sheng’s hands, while the other was put away by Yun Xi on Chen Li’s behalf.

After all, Yun Xi still did not trust Chen Li. She was afraid that something might happen in the future. Chen Li’s mother-like heart was so soft that she might tear up the doc.u.ment after listening to the slander of others.

It would then be hard for Yun Xi to play this game after putting in so much effort.
