The next day, Wang Gang got up, washed up, and went downstairs. He saw his mother had prepared a large table of breakfast and called him to come over for dinner.

Li Xiaoyue and Na Zhuoyue had already sat down to eat, while Na Zixuan was standing aside, being held by Shen's father.

"Xiao Lei, you and Xiao Yue will take the children back to Beijing later. Be careful on the road." Mother Shen took a large bag and said:
"This is the local specialty I brought for you. Give some to your sister later."

Wang Gang has already agreed with his cousin Shen Zhicheng to take his car back to Beijing.

"Mom, we don't lack anything in Beijing." Wang Gang saw what his mother prepared and said, "You and Dad don't have to work too hard in the future. My sister and I have discussed giving you 5,000 yuan a month for living expenses, and you don't have to work in the fields anymore."

Father Shen held his grandson in his arms and said, "You don't have to give me money. Your mother and I are not too old to move and can support ourselves.

Although you and your sister are doing better and better in Beijing, I know that life there is stressful, so keep the money for yourself!"

"Dad, my monthly income is good now, so I don't need a few thousand yuan." Wang Gang persuaded:
"You and mom are old, and my sister and I are not around. If anything happens, we will be worried. Why don't you come back to Beijing with me?"

Mother Shen shook her head and said, "I can't get used to living in Beijing. When your sister gave birth to Xiao Zhuoyue, I stayed there for a few days and felt very uncomfortable."

"That's right. The village has everything now. We all know each other. If something happens, are you afraid that no one will take care of us?" Father Shen said:
"You should worry more about yourself when you have time! Find another wife as soon as possible so that your mother and I can feel at ease."

Wang Gang saw his parents were about to bring up the topic of urging him to get married again, so he quickly averted his gaze and said, "Mom and Dad, if you can't handle the farm work, just hand it over to others. Don't really tire yourself out."

"I know! Your mother and I know what's going on." Father Shen said impatiently.

Wang Gang said nothing more and concentrated on eating breakfast.

An hour later, Wang Gang and Li Xiaoyue got into Shen Zhicheng's van and waved goodbye to their parents.

"Xiao Lei, please take good care of Xiao Yue on the way."

"Don't worry, Mom."

Li Xiaoyue said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Shen with red eyes. Although they had not been together for a long time, she was already deeply loved by them.

Watching the van go away, Shen's mother wiped the tears from her eyes and said to Shen's father: "Xiaoyue is a really good kid, she is pretty and has a good personality, she is really attractive. It would be great if she was Xiaolei's girlfriend."

"Don't talk nonsense. Xiaoyue is Na Jun's girlfriend. It would be bad if Na Wei heard this." Father Shen frowned.

"How could I not know? My son-in-law is not here!"

"Alas." Father Shen sighed and said, "How could our son, such a good child, end up with a woman like Xie Meilan!"

When the two elders were sighing, they didn't know that their ex-daughter-in-law was not living well now.

After Lu Jie went in, Xie Meilan soon discovered that all the properties under Lu Jie's name were frozen, and the Porsche he bought for himself was also taken away.

With nowhere to go, Xie Meilan could only temporarily rent a small house to live in.

She once wanted to meet Lu Jie, but was stopped by Lu's mother.

The company's human resources department has contacted Xie Meilan and asked her to come over to complete the resignation procedures.

When Xie Meilan arrived at the company, she found out that she was not fired, but resigned voluntarily, and the company was not prepared to give her a penny of compensation.

"Why doesn't the company give me compensation?" Xie Meilan started arguing with the HR manager on the spot.

The HR manager took out a document without any hurry, handed it to Xie Meilan and said, "Did you sign this document?"

Xie Meilan took a look and found that the document was about the acquisition case she was in charge of last time.

"The Lu acquisition case has been investigated by the regulatory agency. You were also responsible for a part of the acquisition case." The HR manager said, "The company has found out that Lu Jie pocketed 80 million through the acquisition case. Given your relationship with Lu Jie, don't say you didn't know!"

Xie Meilan said bitterly: "I really don't know! You have to believe me!"

The HR manager said calmly: "The company is giving you a chance now. If you resign on your own, we will not hold you responsible. Otherwise, you know the consequences." Xie Meilan gritted her teeth and said: "I am innocent. I will not resign."

The HR manager took the documents back and said, "If you do this, I will handle this impartially and let the law enforcement department handle it. At that time, the company will publicly dismiss you on the grounds that you have violated the law. You will not have to pay compensation, but your reputation in the industry will definitely be bad."

"You." Xie Meilan gnashed her teeth anxiously, but the HR manager remained calm as always.

"I want to see Mr. Chen!" Xie Meilan shouted.

"I'm sorry, at your level, you are not qualified to see Mr. Chen." The HR manager took out a "voluntary resignation letter" and said: "Sign it, your personal belongings have been packed."

Xie Meilan picked up the pen with trembling wrists. She had worked hard in Beijing for ten years and had finally managed to get her current position. Now that everything was back to zero, one can imagine how she felt.

The HR manager kept looking at Xie Meilan with dead fish eyes as she signed her name and took away the voluntary resignation letter.

Soon a security guard placed a box in front of Xie Meilan.

"This is your personal property. If you take a look and it's ok, you can leave."

Xie Meilan picked up the box with red eyes and walked out of the former company.

When she walked downstairs, she saw her former colleagues. They treated Xie Meilan as if she were the plague god and tried to avoid her, let alone say hello.

Just as Xie Meilan, feeling disheartened, walked out of the building, a car stopped in front of her and Lu Jie got out of the car.

"Lu Jie, you're out." Xie Meilan said in surprise.

"Get in the car first." Lu Jie called to Xie Meilan.

Xie Meilan got into Lu Jie's car without much thought.

The car quickly drove to a hotel, and then Lu Jie took Xie Meilan to room 8406.

Xie Meilan actually had a lot of questions to ask Lu Jie, but she didn't know where to start.

"My mother sold the property and hired a lawyer to bail me out. Now all the properties under my name have been seized, so I can only live in a hotel for the time being." Lu Jie held Xie Meilan's shoulders and said:
"Meilan, don't worry, my lawsuit will be over soon."

Xie Meilan frowned and said, "The police said that you and Dr. Yang were colluding to commit fraud. Is that true?"

"Of course it's fake. How could I possibly hurt you? I was actually deceived by Dr. Yang." Lu Jie said sincerely: "If I knew that Dr. Yang was a liar, I would never have introduced your mother to receive treatment."

Xie Meilan was completely relieved after hearing this and said, "The company said you embezzled 80 million? Is that true?"

Lu Jie said seriously, "I'm telling you the truth. I didn't take the 80 million alone. Mr. Chen and even Mr. Hua from the head office embezzled the money. I'm being pushed out here to be the scapegoat!"

"What should we do then?" Xie Meilan asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, I have already made preparations for both situations. I have evidence in my hand, so Mr. Chen and the others have no choice but to protect me." Lu Jie said with a grim smile.

Xie Meilan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I have met your mother."

Lu Jie nodded and said, "I know. My mother told me that I had been keeping my divorce a secret from her. I had already signed the divorce documents with my ex-wife, but I had never completed the formalities."

After saying that, Lu Jie took out his cell phone, pulled out his divorce agreement, and showed it to Xie Meilan.

Only then did Xie Meilan feel completely relieved.

"Meilan, you have to believe me, I really love you." Lu Jie said to Xie Meilan affectionately:
"Give me some time to get everything sorted out, and then I will marry you in style."

"Well, I believe you." Xie Meilan lowered her head shyly and leaned in Lu Jie's arms.

A strange smile appeared on Lu Jie's face. (End of this chapter)
