Chapter 173 How could he forget about this!
"..."
Zhou Chengfeng's eyes also widened.
Actually, there are so many?
Although he had long known that anything his mother could store in the safe must be something extraordinary, the value of this item was still beyond the comprehension of Zhou Chengfeng, who had always only cared about eating, drinking and having fun...
Zhou Chengfeng had no idea how many tens of millions of dollars were in the safe.
But what he was more afraid of at the moment was that if the police really found Lin Wanrou and arrested her, would that woman ignore the agreement she had just signed and insist on suing him for rape.
The balance in my heart tilted as expected.
Between his mother's huge loss and his own, Zhou Chengfeng decisively chose himself...
"Mom, I... I know the jewelry in your safe is very valuable..."
Zhou Chengfeng said with a bitter face, "But, if you really call the police and have Lin Wanrou arrested, even if she just signed an agreement with us, she will definitely go to the police and report me!"
"Mom, please, just for my sake, for my sake... just, forget it..."
"I, I really don't want to go to jail!"
Hearing his selfish remarks, Chi Manning's eyes widened instantly. She slowly sat up from the reclining sofa and looked at him in disbelief. "Chengfeng, do you know how much money our family will have to pay if you just say forget it?"
"Not to mention that such a large sum of money was given to that little bitch so easily, I wonder if I can swallow this anger. Just think about the jewelry she took away, among them was my dowry!"
Her eyes were red and her voice was trembling, "That's my dowry! It's my dowry!"
In addition to the things that the two elders of the Chi family had carefully prepared for her, there was also the dowry that Old Lady Chi brought from the Hua family, which also added to her dowry as a legacy...
But Zhou Chengfeng doesn't care about that.
His mind was now filled with the thought of not letting Lin Wanrou sue him.
He doesn't want to go to jail, and he can't go to jail!
If the second young master of the Zhou family were to be arrested and imprisoned for a few years, would he still have any dignity left?
"Mom, I know you're heartbroken..."
Zhou Chengfeng tried hard to squeeze out two tears from his eyes, "But you have to feel sorry for your son too..."
"If that woman really sues me, I'll go to jail!"
"Didn't Big Brother tell me before? With those videos online and the testimony of the bar staff, Lin Wanrou's lawsuit against me is a sure thing!"
"Mom, I don't want to go to jail. I can't go to jail..."
Zhou Yunqi frowned in displeasure, a feeling of contempt rising in his heart.
He had deliberately exaggerated the situation in order to make Zhou Chengfeng learn a lesson and not do such stupid things again.
But what he didn't expect was that when things developed to this point, Zhou Chengfeng not only did not realize his mistake, but also took it for granted to say such selfish words that made his mother feel disheartened!
"Zhou Chengfeng, that's enough!" Zhou Yunqi stopped him.
"Am I wrong? These are what you said before, brother!"
Zhou Chengfeng frowned, looking anxious, not realizing he had any problem at all. "Brother, please help me persuade Mom! If I go to jail, where will our Zhou family's reputation be? As the decision-maker of the group, your prestige will also be affected!"
"Brother, think about it carefully, think about it carefully..."
"I say that's enough!" Zhou Yunqi stopped him again.
Looking at his mother who was silently weeping, anger was evident on his face. "Zhou Chengfeng, how could you only care about yourself?! Didn't you hear Mom say that there was also a dowry from grandma and grandma's belongings in there?"
"Don't you understand how precious those things are!"
"So what if it's precious? Can it be more important than me going to jail?!" Zhou Chengfeng continued to quibble.
"You! How can you be so selfish!"
Zhou Yunqi's face turned grim. "He's simply stubborn and unyielding! It's unreasonable!"
"I'm unreasonable?!"
Zhou Chengfeng also bent his arms and tried to stand up straight. "Brother, you are talking without any pain in your back! If it was you who could go to jail at any time, would you still be preaching so righteously? Humph! What a joke!"
The fist hanging at his side suddenly clenched. Zhou Yunqi suppressed the urge to punch him and said coldly, "You did this stupid thing yourself! Zhou Chengfeng, you're already 26, not 16, and you're not a child who knows nothing!"
"When something happened, you asked the family to clean up the mess, and you even sent Dad to the hospital out of anger! Isn't that enough?"
"Are you trying to piss off Mom now?"
"I..." Zhou Chengfeng opened his mouth and immediately made up his mind, "Who knew Lin Wanrou would be so shameless as to steal our mother's safe? In my opinion... this is Old Zhang and the others' dereliction of duty!"
"With so many servants in the house unable to look after Lin Wanrou, they should all be fired! Yes! All of them!"
"Zhou Chengfeng, you!" Zhou Yunqi could hardly suppress his anger.
He didn't expect that Zhou Chengfeng would become like this now!
Or perhaps, under the blind indulgence of his parents and family, he had already developed a selfish character, believing that the whole world should revolve around him...
Just as he was about to scold her again, he noticed his mother slowly standing up.
"Chengfeng, I want to ask you..."
Chi Manning raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and said coldly, "Have you told anyone else the password to my safe?"
"Or rather, have you told that bitch Lin Wanrou?"
Zhou Chengfeng:……!!!
What's the safe combination? Why does my mom ask?
Suddenly thinking of him showing off with Lin Wanrou, his eyes flashed uncontrollably.
"No, no!"
Zhou Chengfeng was as stubborn as a duck. "Mom, you just said it to me casually. How could I remember it clearly? I, I didn't remember it at all. I don't even know the combination to your safe. What can I tell others..."
"Hehe...you didn't remember? You don't know?"
Chi Manning smiled sadly, her eyes filled with chilling sadness. "Then how did you steal the household registration book? Could it have grown legs and escaped from the safe on its own?"
Zhou Chengfeng: ...
Damn! How could he have forgotten this?
"I, I, I... I forgot..."
Zhou Chengfeng didn't know how to explain himself for a moment, "Mom, please believe me, I really didn't say that..."
“Didn’t you say that?!”
Chi Manning's face turned stern. "The surveillance footage clearly shows that bitch Lin Wanrou used the password to open the lock! You didn't tell me, so how did she know that?"
"I..." Zhou Chengfeng was already in a panic, and his eyes were rolling around anxiously.
Even if he denied it to death, Chi Manning, as his mother, had already seen from his reaction that the password of the safe was definitely the one he told Lin Wanrou.
And who knows, this idiot might even tell that bitch everything that’s in the safe!
"Yunqi, call the police!" Chi Manning closed her eyes in disappointment and said directly to Zhou Yunqi.
"it is good."
"no!"
Zhou Chengfeng immediately shouted, "Mom, big brother, I, I, I know I was wrong... Just give me one more chance, don't call the police, I beg you, I beg you..."
I don’t know if it was because he was anxious or scared, but as he shouted, his nose and tears started to run and he cried miserably.
Even though Chi Manning was angry and disappointed with Zhou Chengfeng's selfish reaction, she still felt a little reluctant.
If the safe only contained her collections over the years, perhaps she would grit her teeth and fulfill Zhou Chengfeng's wish and swallow her anger.
But her dowry was included in it.
That was something her grandmother passed down to her mother, and her mother passed it down to her.
No matter what, that bitch Lin Wanrou can't get away with it!
"Yunqi, call the police, now!"
Chi Manning regained her composure and no longer glanced at the begging Zhou Chengfeng. She simply said, "Contact Lawyer Zhang. If Lin Wanrou dares to sue Chengfeng, our Zhou family will fight to the end!"
