Chapter Fourteen: You Lay a Hand on My Mother, and You Still Expect to Walk Away?
Meanwhile, at Zhang Fan’s home.
Wang Chunhua sat in her wheelchair, her brows tightly furrowed.
“You barged in by force, and now you’re even snatching my phone?”
“If you want to see my son and you’re all grown adults, don’t you have any shame?”
“No wonder you couldn’t raise a daughter like Liu Yan properly.”
She glared unhappily at the elderly couple before her.
The two elders were in their sixties, clearly having had Liu Yan later in life.
Liu Yan’s father scoffed, sitting on the sofa, tapping his fingers against his teacup.
“My daughter? She’s just having an affair. There are countless people cheating out there.”
“Maybe your son is the one who can’t satisfy her. Of course, she’d cheat.”
Disgust replaced Wang Chunhua’s disdain.
“You, a father, commenting on your children’s private matters is truly repugnant.”
Liu Yan’s mother rudely cut her off.
“Enough! Cut the crap!”
“Hand over the property deed and sign the contract, give us the house!”
“When Yan Yan married Zhang Fan, I opposed it from the start. After all, he’s disabled. Hmph! She took care of him all these years, and now she wants the shared property. You should be secretly pleased!”
Wang Chunhua was a fiercely strong-willed woman.
Zhang Fan’s personality clearly reflected her influence.
He was usually a gentleman, but once enraged, he became a wounded beast.
She clenched her fists in fury.
“Enough! Shut up!”
“My son has already divorced Liu Yan, and he agreed to leave with nothing. So eventually, the house and assets will belong to Liu Yan.”
“But we can give it, you cannot demand it with such disrespect! Understand?”
Liu Yan’s father raised his brows, looking at her.
“So, what do you want?”
Wang Chunhua’s eyes flashed with displeasure, her tone sharp and commanding.
“When my son returns home, you will apologize to him face to face.”
“Otherwise, forget about getting the house, the car, or any shared property.”
“I’d rather have him donate all the money and go into debt than give you a single cent!”
Liu Yan’s mother’s eyes widened as she strode up to Wang Chunhua, fury blazing in her gaze.
“Apologize? You want me to apologize to your useless son?”
“You’re a damn cripple! How dare you say such things?!”
With that, she raised her hand, ready to slap Wang Chunhua.
But Wang Chunhua was no pushover. She immediately grabbed Liu Yan’s mother’s wrist!
Though her arm appeared frail, it unleashed astonishing strength, causing Liu Yan’s mother sharp pain.
She screamed.
“Ah!!”
“Let go! Release me!”
“You damn cripple!”
Liu Yan’s father was shocked as well, quickly standing and striding toward Wang Chunhua.
“You crippled bastard, how dare you lay a hand on my wife?”
“I’ll beat you to death today!”
He kicked fiercely at Wang Chunhua.
Sitting in a wheelchair, she had no chance to dodge.
But at that moment—
A dark shadow pounced like a hungry tiger, knocking Liu Yan’s father to the ground!
Before the three could react, the shadow raised a fist and smashed it into Liu Yan father’s face!
Like a heavy sandbag, the blow left his nose and face bruised and battered.
He was utterly defenseless.
Soon blood seeped from his eyes, mouth, and nostrils.
Seeing the bright red blood, Liu Yan’s mother finally screamed in terror.
“Stop! Enough!”
“If you keep hitting, someone will die!”
The attacker then rose and delivered a powerful kick to Liu Yan father’s stomach.
Bang!
He spat out a mouthful of bile, clutching his belly, his body bending into an S-shape.
Anyone who’s been kicked in the gut knows it’s impossible to scream out loud.
His face flushed crimson; he looked on the verge of collapse.
Upon seeing Zhang Fan, Liu Yan’s mother roared.
“Zhang Fan! Are you out of your mind?”
“How dare you hit my husband!”
“This isn’t over!”
Zhang Fan ignored her.
Back when they first married, the couple had faced constant opposition from these in-laws.
The first year of marriage, bringing gifts to meet them, he wasn’t even allowed inside.
All because they looked down on his mother’s disability.
Since then, Zhang Fan never took the initiative to see them.
Their relationship had long been strained, and today, for Liu Yan’s father to attack his mother—
That only stoked Zhang Fan’s fury further.
He cast a cold glance at Liu Yan’s mother, then knelt beside Wang Chunhua, carefully examining her.
Wang Chunhua reached out to touch his hair, speaking softly to comfort him.
“Xiaofan, I’m fine.”
“Don’t worry, they didn’t get to lay a hand on me before you came back.”
Only after confirming Wang Chunhua was truly unharmed did Zhang Fan exhale and stand up again.
His gaze turning sharply hostile as he looked at Liu Yan’s parents.
Liu Yan’s mother hurriedly helped her husband up, seating him on the sofa and glaring fiercely.
“Zhang Fan, mark my words, this isn’t over!”
“You will hand over all shared property with my daughter, leave this house, and pay my husband’s medical bills!”
“If you don’t compensate us, I’ll sue you and send you to jail! Then let’s see who takes care of your mother!”
Zhang Fan frowned darkly.
“I originally intended to follow proper procedures and give Liu Yan what she deserves.”
“Whether it’s Liu Yan or you taking it, it’s the same to me—as long as I can sever ties with you completely.”
“But now, that’s impossible.”
Liu Yan’s mother’s expression turned grim.
“What do you mean? Are you daring to break the law?”
“Even if you refuse, the court will transfer the property and vehicles to my daughter’s name!”
“Hmph, wasting time. Stupid like your mother. My daughter marrying you was a waste of youth.”
Zhang Fan’s face remained expressionless.
“Then sue me.”
“My good friend is the best lawyer in Haisi, and his firm is the largest.”
“Go ahead and sue. I want to see how long you can drag this out.”
Liu Yan’s father hastily grabbed his wife’s arm, whispering.
“Wife, let’s go.”
“That brat’s just a stinky delivery guy. Our daughter is an American citizen now—no need to stoop to his level.”
“Let’s call the police and let them deal with this.”
Liu Yan’s mother helped him up, sneering.
“Right, why bother arguing with a poor delivery guy?”
“Zhang Fan, you’ll always be trash at the bottom. One meal my daughter has in America is worth a whole day of your delivery runs!”
“You even dare to fight for custody of the child? With someone like you, no wonder Zhang Qingyun’s not doing well.”
They turned to leave.
But Zhang Fan’s large figure blocked their path, closing the door behind them.
Only then did a flicker of panic flash in Liu Yan’s mother’s eyes.
“What are you doing?!”
“This is unlawful imprisonment! You’re committing a crime!”
Zhang Fan’s face remained cold, but his heart blazed fiercely.
To him, his daughter, mother, and brother were untouchable.
Even though his mother had not been physically harmed,
He had heard every insult hurled at her the moment the elevator doors opened.
His gaze was icy, like a biting winter wind.
“Listen carefully—you will get neither the house, the car, nor a single cent.”
“Today, you’re not leaving.”
Before he finished, Zhang Fan lunged forward!
Half an hour later.
Far away in America, preparing for bed, Liu Yan received a video call from Zhang Fan.
The past week had been extremely difficult for her.
After helping John pay over six million for treatment, he had promised to repay her upon discharge.
But he had yet to make any move to pay her back.
Moreover, Liu Yan was not a language major; she only passed a basic level English exam in college.
Over the years, she only knew how to say "yes" and "no."
In America, language barriers became a serious problem.
Every time she asked John to help with her green card process, he always found excuses.
So she still had no green card.
What frustrated her even more was John’s incompetence compared to Zhang Fan.
Weren’t white people supposed to be more capable than Asians?
Receiving Zhang Fan’s video now, already angry, she was ready to explode.
But the images in the video chilled her to the bone.
After holding it in all week, Liu Yan erupted like a bursting gas tank.
“Zhang Fan, you’re insane!”
“How could you beat up my parents like this? You lunatic!”
In the video, Liu Yan’s parents looked utterly miserable.
Especially Liu Yan’s foul-mouthed mother, whose mouth was gagged with Liu Yan’s father’s teacup.
She was almost suffocating.
What Zhang Fan said in the video infuriated Liu Yan so much she nearly fainted.
