The Blind Lover-Chapter 164 - Living in Difficulty

“You bastard, are you still dreaming of being your own boss? Do you really think you can make a comeback? Trash! Look at your wife and child! It’s so cold but you can’t even afford a down jacket. Yet, you can still pay for meals with others. Why did I marry a loser like you? If you don’t have the money to give me, I won’t be able to live like this. I want a divorce!”

Qu Li had been living in misery for so many days. Her rich friends knew that her company had gone bankrupt, and even her house had been mortgaged. They pretended to be concern about her, but in reality, they saw her as a joke. Some even blocked her on social media, afraid she’d be asking them for money.

Even her face, which she cared about the most, had wrinkles on without the use of skincare products and prolonged fatigue.

All of this was Shi Yong’s fault!

Qu Li could not wait to divorce Shi Yong right away. It was not impossible for her to find a rich man while she still had some charm.

If it were not for the fact that she could not bear to part with her daughter, Qu Li would not have been able to endure living in this shabby rental house with Shi Yong until now.

Even ordering takeout, the whole family could not bear to throw it away even if they could not finish it. They would eat the leftovers for the next meal.

Moreover, when Qu Li heated up the take-out last time, she realized that there was actually a mouse under the kitchen!

A mouse!

Qu Li knew mice only from the books she read. When she suddenly saw such a huge, fat mouse, she was so scared that she almost fainted.

What kind of shabby life was this? She could not live another day!

After cursing Shi Yong, Qu Li walked into Shi Xiao’s room and saw her daughter curled up on the bed. She felt both distressed and aggrieved. She pulled open the blanket and squeezed together with Shi Xiao. Their bodies touched and they felt just a tad warmer.

“Xiaoxiao, what do you plan to do?” Qu Li asked.

Shi Xiao frowned.

During the period when she went missing, Shi Xiao went through something strange. She changed so much. Although she was still Shi Xiao, her attitude and behavior were so different now.

If Qu Li had asked Shi Xiao this in the past, Shi Xiao would have told everything to her mother. But now, she knew that her mother had thought of a way out by asking that question. Although, she was still concerned for her daughter.

Shi Xiao remained silent for a few seconds before she said indifferently, “You want to divorce Dad?”

No matter what Qu Li’s plan was, she couldn’t stand this life anymore. Divorcing Shi Yong was a necessary choice.

Qu Li did not expect her daughter to directly reveal what she was thinking. She immediately felt a little awkward. She smiled and said, “It’s not that I’m going to divorce him soon…”

Oh, so you were still looking for a candidate.

Shi Xiao thought.

“You know the current situation. Your father can’t do much. Back then, the reason why our company was able to do it was partly because we had capital investment and partly because we relied on that fool’s alimony to maintain our daily operations. Now that we don’t have both, our family still owes the loan sharks a huge amount. You know what loan sharks are, right? The interests are getting exorbitant, how can we even pay them back?”

“Fortunately, Shi Yong borrowed the money in his own name. It has nothing to do with me. Xiaoxiao, you are still young now. If you find a good family, you can remove yourself from this family and continue your previous lifestyle. I thinking for you. If only you can live well, I’ll die of happiness now!” ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

Qu Li wiped away her tears and sobbed.

Although Qu Li was a utilitarian and unkind woman, she truly doted on Shi Xiao.

Even though her temperament had become much colder, Shi Xiao was still moved by her mother’s tears. She could understand Qu Li’s choice. After all, she would not be able to live this kind of life any longer.

However, if both mother and daughter left Shi Yong, then Shi Yong would be alone. Sooner or later, he would also die.

Now… What else could she do?

“Mom, don’t go yet.” Shi Xiao had stayed in this home for so many years. To her, the family was complete. Home was home. She did not want to become a homeless orphan.

She thought for a moment and said to Qu Li, “That fool is still in the Ning family. Let’s go and get the money back. At least we can pay off all our debts and move into a bigger house. We can talk about the future later.”

Hearing Shi Xiao’s words, Qu Li frowned and said with uncertainty, “They definitely won’t give us the money. I went there last time.”

“You didn’t make any preparations when you went there. Naturally, you won’t be able to get the money.” Shi Xiao’s smile turned colder. “I’ve thought about this matter. We must get the fool’s money!”
