“Is this how you earn money? Dressed like this? Did you work as physical labor, or did you go do something else ?” Xu Xinrong’s indifferent voice destroyed Jiang Bei’s expectations.

Jiang Bei’s paused.

He wanted to unzip the cloth bag, eager to prove himself. He knew that Xu Xinrong would deeply misunderstand him.

The only thing he could use to prove himself was the money.

But before he could open the bag, Xu Xinrong had already put Wanwan aside. She slowly stood up and looked at Jiang Bei with a cold gaze.

It made him freeze.

“Jiang Bei, I don’t care what you did today. I don’t care whether you lied to me or not. Even if you really made money, I don’t care anymore.” Xu Xinrong slowly shook her head.

“Xinrong…” Jiang Bei stared blankly at the woman in front of him who was expressionless. His heart felt a sharp pain.

“Look at this…” He panicked and wanted to open the bag, but it seemed to be stuck. He couldn’t pull it open no matter how hard he tried.

His hands didn’t have any strength at all. He didn’t even have the slightest strength to open the cloth bag.

“Jiang Bei, I’ve asked around today. This house should be able to sell for 60,000 yuan.”

“Use 50,000 of it to pay off your gambling debts. I won’t interfere with the rest of your life. We’re done, but I want to take the remaining 10,000 yuan for Wanwan’s alimony. Is that okay?” Xu Xinrong suddenly asked. She had a pained expression.

Obviously, she wasn’t planning to ask such a question. Wanwan’s alimony was just an excuse. She had never asked this scumbag in front of her to give her a cent.

But she had just asked.

“Xinrong… did something happen?” Jiang Bei asked hurriedly.

Xu Xinrong had obviously cried, and she cried until her voice was hoarse and her eyes were swollen. She must be in a difficult situation.

She asked for part of the payment. How was this possible? This was not something she would ask!

So what exactly had happened to make this woman make such a request?

She was in pain, but it also seemed like she was begging.

“Xinrong, what happened? Can you tell me? I will help you solve it. Trust me.” Jiang Bei said in a hurry, the sweat on his forehead slowly falling down.

“Trust you? I have trusted you many times!” Xu Xinrong asked with a smile, but it was cold.

“Mommy, daddy really made money today. He made a lot of money…” Wanwan tugged on Xu Xinrong’s sleeve, but she gently shook it off.

Xu Xinrong suddenly turned her head to look at Wan Wan.

“You only went out with him for one day! In just one day, and you already learned to lie! Did he take you to the park to make money? That’s why you came back so late? Is this how he makes money!” Xu Xinrong pointed at Jiang Bei in rags and asked sternly.

“Mommy…” Wanwan’s tears fell down, “I didn’t lie, daddy really took me to the park, and earned money. Daddy protected Wanwan, defeated the bad guys…”

This was completely different from what she hoped for.

She thought that her mother would forgive her father after seeing that he had worked hard. Then, the family could live together and be happy like other children’s families.

Wanwan didn’t know how to defend her father. She couldn’t do anything except cry because her father had been wronged.

She was even scolded by her mother.

“Jiang Bei! Don’t ever think about seeing my daughter again!” Xu Xinrong said as she picked Wanwan up and walked out.

“Bang!”

The door was slammed shut. Jiang Bei fell weakly to the ground, he gripped his hair in pain.

Jiang Bei wanted to chase after her, but he didn’t have much strength left.

However, the sound from outside the door gradually faded away, and it also stimulated Jiang Bei’s heart. It was already so late, where would Xu Xinrong take Wanwan?

Before this, she wouldn’t have left with Wanwan so late. She must have encountered something difficult!

Jiang Bei struggled to get up. He had already recovered a little. He rushed into the bathroom, washed his face, and drank a lot of cold water. Then, he quickly ran out with his bag.

Xinrong definitely needed money. He had it here!

No matter how much she wanted and how much she needed, he would not be stingy. As long as he had it, he would give it to her!

When Jiang Bei ran downstairs, Xu Xinrong had already left with Wanwan on her bike. Jiang Bei could only see their backs.

But at this time, Wanwan seemed to have heard something and turned her head.

“Daddy, daddy!”

Wanwan used her tender voice to call out. She stretched out her hand, but was trapped in the child’s seat.

Xu Xinrong had no intention of stopping at all. She looked very anxious and didn’t care about what Jiang Bei was doing behind her. It was as if she wanted to escape.

“Xinrong, Wanwan…”

Jiang Bei murmured softly and followed behind her, stumbling as he ran.

He kept falling but getting up again..
