Chapter 1126: Chapter 1168: Spit Out Everything You Swallowed

Looking at Ling Shenglan’s angry face, Ling’s father cautiously asked, "What would it take for you to forgive me?"

Ling Shenglan took a deep breath and firmly said, "You want my forgiveness? Fine! You need to calculate all the money Yueyue has sent to you over the past five years, make a clear list, and return every single cent to Yueyue! As for the living expenses I originally left with you for Yueyue, give all of that to her as well. Consider it my compensation to her for all these years as her mother!"

Upon hearing this, Ling’s father couldn’t help but scream, "Give it all back to Yueyue?"

Ling Shenglan nodded and said righteously, "Of course! That money was earned through Yueyue’s hard work. Aren’t you afraid it will poison you by keeping it in your hands? Does your conscience really allow it? If you had done any part of your duties as parents for Yueyue over the past twenty-one years, then you might have a right to that money! But all this time, Yueyue was just fostered under your name! I have been the one earning money to raise her from childhood! How could you have the audacity to take her money in the first place? So, that money doesn’t belong to you; it belongs to Yueyue! You must return every bit of it to Yueyue! And the living expenses I gave to Yueyue were from Xiao Feng, given by me to Yueyue, with nothing to do with you. You have no right to keep it! Now, I won’t take the money back, as long as you give it all to Yueyue!"

"...!" Listening to Ling Shenglan calculating everything against him, Ling’s father’s heart sank instantly.

The inevitable came! He was afraid Shenglan would ask him for this money, but unexpectedly, she finally opened her mouth, and there was no avoiding it.

Now, not only is the money she left with them gone, but she also wants all the living expenses Yueyue sent back over the years! Luckily, Shenglan doesn’t know they once married Yueyue to a lame man in the village for a dowry of ten thousand yuan! Otherwise, that ten thousand would surely be demanded back as well!

Seeing Ling’s father hang his head in silence, Ling Shenglan frowned and said displeased, "What? You can’t bear to give it back now?"

Ling’s father quickly raised his head and explained anxiously, "No, no, it’s not that I can’t bear to! It’s just... just...!" Ling’s father paused for a moment, then reluctantly said, "It’s just, you know, all the money in the house is in your sister-in-law’s hands! Even if I make a list and calculate how much there is, if your sister-in-law doesn’t agree to hand it over, there’s nothing I can do!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Shenglan’s eyes sharpened, and she said expressionlessly, "Won’t hand it over? Tell her that if she refuses to give the money, we’ll see each other in court! I imagine the judge will make a fair and just decision!"

Ling’s father widened his eyes in fear and said, "Are you going to report to the police? Shenglan, you absolutely can’t do that. After all, she is your sister-in-law, how can you report her to the police?"

Ling Shenglan sneered coldly and said mercilessly, "Whether I report or not is up to you! Anyway, I’ve made my position clear, if you don’t hand over the money, don’t blame me for turning my back! After all, you’ve done these things to me, and you don’t care about me as your sister or Yueyue as your niece anymore! But if this really goes to court, you will definitely lose! I’m not asking for much, just to give back the money that doesn’t belong to you! It’s quite generous of me not to ask you for these years’ emotional distress damages!"

Seeing Ling Shenglan speak so heartlessly, Ling’s father couldn’t help but feel afraid, "Shenglan, no matter what, I am your brother, why take things this far? Back then, when our parents died early, we siblings relied on each other and grew up together, our bond isn’t fake!"

Since he was in the wrong, Ling’s father had no choice but to play the emotional card!

Unfortunately, for Ling Shenglan, who was already deeply disappointed and disillusioned, hearing his words did not move her in the least. Instead, she sneered and said, "Brother? If you really treated me as your sister, you wouldn’t do this to my daughter, nor would you misappropriate my money! Yes, our parents died early, and we siblings relied on each other and grew up together. You used to love and care for me, and helped me a lot! But ever since you married that woman, you completely changed! You only listen to her, and in your heart, there is no me as your sister, nor is there Yueyue as your niece! Now, like that woman, all you care about is money, money, money! If you had treated Yueyue with just a little bit of kindness back then, I wouldn’t have taken things this far!"

At this moment, even calling Ling’s mother ’sister-in-law’ felt insulting to her, and she didn’t even want to utter her name! Now, she was utterly resentful towards that woman!

"Give me some time, I will discuss this properly with your sister-in-law, I will definitely try my best to persuade her to hand over the money!" Seeing that Ling Shenglan had spoken so clearly, Ling’s father knew that saying anything further would only make Ling Shenglan angrier!

However, thinking of his wife’s obsession with money, asking her to give up the money is more painful than asking for her life!

Thinking of this, Ling’s father felt a throbbing pain in his temples!

"Fine! I will give you a week, if within this week, there is no result, then I will have no choice but to take legal action! No matter what, we have lived together for decades, and unless I am forced to, I don’t want to take the last step!" Although she hated the woman her brother married, in the end, this man in front of her was still her brother. If possible, she still hoped to leave him a way out.

"A week! Isn’t that too short? How about a month? I must go back and talk to your sister-in-law slowly! As you know, she values money more than her life; asking her to give it up is like asking for her life! I must talk to her slowly!" Ling’s father cunningly rolled his eyes, hoping to buy more time.

As long as he could procrastinate, keep dragging things until Ling Shenglan leaves, that would be ideal!

He thought, she’s been back for half a year, she can’t stay in Jin City forever without leaving, right? Even if she wants to, Xiao Feng wouldn’t agree!

Ling’s father’s wishful thinking clattered in his mind, but unfortunately, his intentions couldn’t escape Ling Shenglan’s sharp eyes. Ling Shenglan coldly chuckled inwardly and said unmistakably, "No, I said a week, so a week it is! I don’t want to waste too much time on this matter! I owe Yueyue too much and just want to make up for it as soon as possible! So, within a week, you must give me an answer!"
