Zhang Jiasen’s mother actually didn’t really have any speaking rights in the family. Zhang Jiasen’s father possessed all of the decision-making power. Zhang Jiasen who had grown up in this environment was someone that believed strongly in male dominance.

  No matter how well Miao Miaomiao treated Zhang Jiasen and didn’t look down on his background, Zhang Jiasen still felt that his dignity was being insulted and denied everything about Miao Miaomiao.

  “Daughter-in-law, our family really doesn’t have money. We can only take out a hundred thousand at most,” said Zhang Jiasen’s fahter.

  A hundred thousand? It seems that Zhang Jiasen really had sent quite a lot to the Zhang family over these last two years.

  Furthermore, Ning Shu was sure that ten thousand wasn’t all that Zhang Jiasen’s father could pull out.

  She shook her head and said, “How could ten thousand possibly be enough? Zhang Jiasen embezzled near eight million. This matter won’t be easy to solve. However, if this sum could be patched up, then this matter will definitely be dropped.”


  “Eight million? How could our family possibly have eight million? Big Sis Miao, your family has so much money, can’t you just take out this bit?” The moment Little Sis Zhang heard that it was eight million, she almost jumped up. Even if they were all sold, they wouldn’t be able to gather this much money.

  “Dad, what if we just let Big Brother……” Little Sis Zhang didn’t even finish her words before Zhang Jiasen’s father looked towards her sternly. “That’s your older brother. No matter what, we have to get him out.”


  It was clear that Little Sis Zhang wanted to let her brother stay in jail for a couple years to make up for the eight million.

  Actually, that was actually a pretty good trade. There were few people that would be able to earn eight million in a few years.

  Ning Shu just sat at the side and listened without a word.

  Zhang Jiasen’s father said firmly to Ning Shu, “No matter what, we have to save him. How about this? In the future, a boy can also have your surname of Miao. The first child will also have the surname of Miao. That’ll be two children with the surname of Miao.”


  Jesus, from the sound of this, they wanted her to have more than two children. Since two children were going to have the surname Miao, there would definitely be a child with the surname of Zhang.

  My god. Ning Shu wiped at her cold sweat.

  Ning Shu found it incredulous that this was what they were using as negotiation terms. She could have children without Zhang Jiasen. She could just go to a sperm warehouse and choose the best quality sperm. The child she gave birth to would then belong one hundred percent to herself. Would she still need their ‘grace’?

  Ning Shu grinned. “How about this? Doesn’t the family still have a house? Let’s sell this house, and I’ll figure out a way to get the rest of the sum? How’s that?”


  What Ning Shu meant was to have Father Miao sell Miao Miaomiao and Zhang Jiasen’s wedding house.

  “This won’t do.” Zhang Jiasen’s father directedly rejected this idea. The house was the foundation of a family. Even if they sold all the pots and pans, they couldn’t sell the house. Wasn’t that telling others that this family couldn’t survive anymore?

  Although Zhang Jiasen’s father was from the countryside, there were still some things he was very clear on. He knew that it was very hard to obtain one’s own house in the city.

  Ning Shu said mildly, “But we need money right now. Once there’s more cash, we can buy a new house.”


  Zhang Jiasen’s father furrowed his brows tightly as he sucked on his pipe. The entire room was filled with the stifling smell of smoke.

  In the end, Zhang Jiasen’s father still made the decision to sell the house.

  Ning Shu smiled faintly.

  A buyer soon came for the house, but the price was very low. The house that had originally costed over two million with the decor and furniture added on was sold for just a million.

  A million was quite far away from eight million, but Zhang Jiasen’s father still decided to sell it so that Ning Shu could fill in for the rest of the money. She was the one that said she would figure out the rest after all.

  The house was soon sold, but after a change of hands, it fell back into Ning Shu’s possession. This time the property only had Miao Miaomiao’s name and not Zhang Jiasen’s.

  This house no longer counted as a shared asset.

  The mansion had also been seized, so Zhang Jiasen had lost everything he had been working towards these past two years. He already had nothing left, and he even had to face a prison sentence.

  Ning Shu tucked the property certificate away with a faint smile.
