Capítulo 704: 704 almost drove someone to death? Yixuan did not press charges against her parents, so the Cao parents were detained for three days before they were released back home. However, Yixuan’s affair had become widely known, and the couple couldn’t leave the house. They had to hide indoors to avoid being recognized and vilified as the target of public anger. Later, Yixuan’s fiancé visited a few times, but the first couple of times the old couple was in detention and no one was home. This time, seeing that people were home, he hurried over, limping. The Cao couple felt annoyed seeing this person, as there was already too much going on at home. Who would want to welcome this fiancé who had not even brought gifts to the bride’s family? But the visitor wasn’t someone to be trifled with either, he brought two troublemakers and barged into the old couple’s home. “I’m telling you, father-in-law, I’ve not even married in but have already been tainted with scandal. You old couple should take responsibility for this, shouldn’t you?” “Lin, it’s not that we shirk responsibility, but things have escalated to this level. Let’s both step back and calm this situation down,” Mr. Cao said. “Calm it down? It was easy when you took the bride price, but now when there’s trouble, you want to leave me bare-handed? You two old things, don’t you think you’ve taken too much advantage?” the visitor said, limping and sitting in the Cao’s courtyard, pointing at them. “I can’t count on a person anymore, but the money, you both must return it to the Lin Family, otherwise, I’ll sue you in court. You’ve just come out of that place, and I believe you don’t want to go back so soon. Don’t push me too far, or I might do something drastic.” Seeing how difficult the visitor was, Mr. Cao softened his tone, “Lin, we almost became relatives. Give us a few days to clear things up, and then we will return your bride price. How does that sound?” “Now when I step out, people point fingers at me. Do you think returning my bride price is enough?” the visitor began to be unyielding. “Your wonderful daughter, spreading scandal everywhere, now the whole world laughs at me as a cripple. Don’t you think your family should compensate for my emotional distress?” “Lin, even we old folks are having a tough time!” “Your tough time wasn’t caused by me!” the visitor retorted harshly. “I’ll give you some time, but you need to add compensation for emotional distress. I’ll give you three days! If you come up with more excuses, then sorry, but I’ll have to take extreme measures!” After saying that, the man rose from his chair and left with his two thugs. However, before the man left the Cao household, he ran into Yixuan’s aunt at the door. Of course, he did not recognize her as a Cao family member, but the aunt recognized the limping troublemaker. The aunt snorted coldly and entered the Cao’s home, which hadn’t shut its door. Seeing her sister, Mrs. Cao was somewhat surprised, “Meilin, what brings you back?” “If I hadn’t come back, I wouldn’t have known you two old fools even sold your own daughter!” Aunt Cao snorted coldly, especially disdainful as she faced Mr. Cao, who was turning away. “What I do with my daughter is none of your business!” Mr. Cao snapped back, hands behind his back. “Living off others these years, I’ve been quite accommodating to you!” Aunt Cao’s anger flared. “To put it nicely, this is the Cao’s house, to speak unpleasantly, do you think this house belongs to Cao or Meng? You dare to play tricks in front of me? Before I left for overseas, I made it clear: take good care of Yixuan. That was my only condition for giving up my inheritance rights, and what happened? You almost drove her to death?” “Meilin, you don’t understand. These years, we’ve also had a hard time. Every time we go out, people whisper, saying Yixuan is not clean…” Mrs. Cao explained. “You’re the last one who should talk! Your suffering is your own doing, Yixuan hasn’t done anything unclean. As her mother, to save your own face, you made her suffer so much, what right do you have to say you’re also suffering?” Meng Meilin scoffed. “Goodness, marrying Yixuan to that complete disable? Just by looking at his face, I knew what kind of despicable and shameless person he was. Are you even fit to be Yixuan’s parents?” “I…” Mrs. Cao was verbally beaten and was left speechless.
