Ye Xiu stood up, somewhat at a loss. It was the first time she didn’t know how to organize her words to answer Bai Dan’s question.
She rubbed her hands anxiously before she slowly found her voice.
"Yes, Dad, I want to divorce him. Not just because of the Xingxing issue, but because he has controlled me through hypnosis for so many years, I can’t bear it anymore."
Ye Xiu had struggled before, but it was only for a moment. The former Ye Xiu thought her past life had been wonderful.
Although she found it hard to accept, there had been wonderful times in the past, and that cherished feeling was real.
But from the moment she became clear-headed, all she felt was disgust.
Every move she made was controlled, even her thoughts were influenced by suggestions. Over time, would she completely obey Bai Da’s arrangements, lose herself, and become a puppet?
Ye Xiu’s words were resolute, clearly displaying her determination.
Even now, as she made eye contact with Bai Dan, she remained firm in her thoughts, unwilling to change. Ye Xiu couldn’t bear to be with Bai Da again, not even for a day; it was torment.
Bai Xin was definitely sweating for Ye Xiu.
Her dad’s face was dark and frightening, especially his invisible dominance.
But it seemed like Ye Xiu wasn’t affected?
"Alright, as long as it’s your decision, that’s fine. If he doesn’t go, I’ll make sure he goes and signs the papers. Don’t worry, Xingxing will stay with me. You don’t need to involve her. Bai Yu and Bai Ye, you handle it. Then tell me the day, and I will personally take Bai Da to sign."
Bai Da had a dark, terrifying expression during his last lesson, and the words he spoke next moment made Ye Xiu herself hardly believe them.
Because who would wish for their son to get divorced? But, surprisingly, Bai Dan did and even said he would help her resolve it.
It was really, really wonderful.
She was truly surprised; she hadn’t expected her father-in-law to give her this promise.
Indeed, her mother was right. Her father-in-law was fair and impartial; choosing to come to Bai Family Village was not a mistake.
Who would want to wait another two years to get divorced?
It was so good that her father-in-law could help. Xingxing would definitely stay with her grandfather, and she wouldn’t object. As for Bai Yu and Bai Ye, she would also want custody, and then it would be up to them.
She had previously neglected their education and naturally hoped to change that in the future.
"Bai Yu, Bai Ye, I want to ask for their own opinions, whether they want to stay with me or with Bai Da. I hope they choose me, staying with him would ruin them."
Even if possible, she hoped Xingxing could stay with her, but she knew that was a wishful thinking; not only might her father-in-law disagree, Xingxing herself might not agree.
"That’s your matter; you just handle it yourself."
Bai Dan only needed to take care of Xingxing; Bai Yu and Bai Ye were not in his consideration.
"Dad, do you have any reservations about Bai Yu and Bai Ye? You can tell me."
Ye Xiu always felt that her father-in-law’s words hinted at something. Could those two have done something they shouldn’t have?
"There’s nothing that needs to be said. You are the parents, not me."
Some things don’t need to be said over and over again.
In the operating room at the moment.
Bai Zhi was gritting her teeth, enduring.
It was so quiet around her that she could hear her own heartbeat, so much so that she wanted to see the sunrise and saw this year’s dumbfounded expressions.
And she heard the sound of a needle being removed and placed in a dish.
What a pleasant sound.
