"Are you really not planning to stay here? With your professional skills, you should be very popular as a lawyer."
The place where they gathered was very down-to-earth, just a roadside food stall that could be seen everywhere.
Of course, when meeting friends for dinner, Wen He still wore a hat and glasses, afraid of being disturbed.
"Do you think I want to be a lawyer? I don't like this profession at all."
"Back then, memorizing those laws and regulations made me want to vomit. I've wanted to quit a long time ago."
"The reason I chose this major in college was because it had a promising future and made money quickly."
"But… she is already someone else's wife now. What's the point of me earning more money?"
"I should still go back to my hometown to take care of my family. There are still many dilapidated houses at home. When the time comes, I'll pick one and renovate it into a small bookstore, not to make money, just for fun."
Gao Chongting was completely listless. His eyes were still swollen, and his voice was a little hoarse.
These states were enough to show how much pain and torment he had experienced today.
Gao Chongting had already prepared himself mentally for this ending.
But when he saw her wedding with his own eyes today, he still couldn't control his emotions.
"You actually already earned enough money to marry her, but fate played tricks on you, and your family suddenly became seriously ill."
Wen He knew that talking about this now might not be a good idea.
What he wanted to tell Gao Chongting was that he had already tried his best, but things didn't go as planned.
This was something that no one could change.
"Sigh, let's not talk about this…" Gao Chongting sighed.
Then, he randomly took a bottle from the case of beer on the ground and opened it.
"Let me have a drink with you." Wen He also took a bottle of beer from it.
"You're seriously ill, so you shouldn't drink."
"Wen He has never drunk alcohol before. This is also a part of life to experience." Cheng Yudie didn't know where she took out a small notebook.
After flipping through a few pages, she put a √ mark behind [Have a drink].
Seeing that Cheng Yudie had allowed it, Gao Chongting didn't say anything more, but silently clinked glasses with Wen He.
"Oh, right, I have something I want to ask you for help with," Wen He remembered something.
"What is it?"
"I want to transfer Wen Ze's guardianship to me. Otherwise, when he goes to school in the future, he will still need a guardian. I can't let him go back to find those two guys."
"This is easy to do. I'll make a phone call later and ask them to cooperate, and then go to the court," Gao Chongting said.
"Will they cooperate obediently?" Wen He was a little surprised to hear this answer.
"What are you thinking? Of course they won't cooperate obediently. It's okay, I'll hold their weaknesses, repeat the old trick and threaten them."
"Actually, I want to spend some money to buy this right," Wen He said.
"There's no need for that. If you have this idea, they will ask for an exorbitant price."
Hearing this, Wen He knew that Gao Chongting probably misunderstood what he meant.
Wen He, who had awakened and returned, no longer had any feelings for Wen's father and Wen's mother.
"I'm not being soft-hearted. This money is to buy Wen Ze peace of mind."
"I know their personalities too well. If they are separated by threats, they will definitely come to Wen Ze in the future."
"Crying, making trouble, selling miserably, saying how good they used to be to Wen Ze, trying every means to kidnap Wen Ze."
"I will use this money to buy out Wen Ze's past happiness at home. If they accept this money, they will completely cut ties."
"If they make trouble again in the future, Wen Ze will also have a reason to refute, saying, 'My brother has already given you hundreds of thousands. If you want me to go back, you can return those hundreds of thousands.'"
"This money is to give Wen Ze the confidence not to be kidnapped by family ties in the future, so that he can truly gain freedom."
Hearing this, Gao Chongting suddenly understood.
He didn't expect that Wen He, who usually looked dull, could consider so much, even thinking about things so far ahead.
If you put it that way, it is indeed necessary to give some money, otherwise Wen Ze will not even have a reason to refute in the future.
It can't be because his parents beat him hard when he was a child…
…and then there will really be no relationship at all in this life, right?
Then what about the comfortable days Wen Ze had when he was a child?
No matter what, before Wen He exploded, Wen Ze was indeed raised very well at home. This is an undeniable fact.
Anyone with a little conscience would easily be kidnapped by family ties at this time and return to that home.
Then take care of them with all your heart and soul, just to repay the kindness of raising them in the past.
In order to prevent this from happening, Wen He must use money as an extra layer of insurance to ensure that Wen Ze has enough confidence to resist.
This money can't be too little. If it's too little, what if Wen's father and Wen's mother really take it out?
"350,000 should be a number that they probably won't be able to save in the second half of their lives, but it's not too much."
"I squeezed 200,000 out of them. They have almost emptied their current savings."
"And they have now been laid off by the company and have moved to a new place."
"With their age, coupled with the current environment being so competitive, and so many college graduates every year…"
"It is estimated that it will be difficult to find a job that can save any money."
"Most likely, it will be enough for them to eat and drink. It would be a blessing if they could save 10,000 or 20,000 a year."
"Theoretically speaking, 200,000 may already be the upper limit for the second half of their lives."
"But no one can say for sure about the future, so a little more is a little safer."
After understanding Wen He's meaning, Gao Chongting was also seriously helping to come up with ideas.
350,000 is indeed a good amount.
To take a step back, even if they really take out 350,000 by then to let Wen Ze go back.
Then Wen Ze would get 350,000 out of thin air, which is equivalent to not having given any money at the beginning, and also buying Wen Ze's freedom for so many years for nothing, and then the money is returned.
And Wen Ze can completely take it to hire a nanny to take care of them.
No matter how you think about it, it is an acceptable situation.
Anyway, 350,000 can't buy a house in full, at most it can pay a down payment.
But they are old, and if they have to bear decades of mortgage, it is also a very heavy burden for them.
"Okay, then you can help me hand over this money to them. I don't want to have any contact with them anymore."
Wen He accepted Gao Chongting's suggestion and had a drink for it.
