Jiang Aiguo looked at her coldly and said, "Sister-in-law, we are family; there are some things I don’t want to say publicly, but your actions today really chill my heart. Ask yourself, since Yangyang was born, have you given her a shred of motherly love? You’ve only ever exploited Yangyang, not treating her like a person. Someone as cruel as you, do you deserve to be Yangyang’s mother?"
When Jiang Aiguo was young, he also ventured into the sea, but later resigned due to a bad back. Although he usually appeared easygoing, once he got angry, his presence was enough to overshadow everyone here!
Wang Ying was immediately frightened and drooped her eyelids, not daring to make a sound!
As the head of the family, Gu Yuandao naturally couldn’t let Jiang Aiguo steal the spotlight at this moment. He spoke in a deep voice, "Big brother, this is a family matter, I’ll handle it myself. Yangyang is just being rebellious, don’t meddle in it blindly!"
In fact, Gu Yuandao really wanted to separate Nianyang. After all, Nianyang wasn’t his biological daughter, and he’d long wanted to get rid of this burden, not willing to spend even a penny more on Nianyang!
But since no one outside knew that Nianyang wasn’t his daughter, he couldn’t make this public. If he really agreed to separate Nianyang, what would people say about the Gu Family later?
Everyone would accuse him of being irresponsible, not even tolerating his own biological daughter!
Out of consideration for the deceased Gu father’s kindness in raising him, Jiang Aiguo usually tolerated Gu Yuandao repeatedly, but thinking of the grievances Nianyang suffered today, he just couldn’t tolerate Gu Yuandao anymore!
"Second brother, stop with those formal words. If you really handled things, would you have stood by all these years while Sister-in-law abused Yangyang? Would Gu Youlan have the audacity to snatch her own sister’s boyfriend? Is this your so-called handling?"
Gu Yuandao’s face turned beet red with rage, unable to utter a word!
Jiang Aiguo let out a cold snort, "With the way your Gu Family oppresses Yangyang, if she continues to live with you, who knows when she might lose her life. Such an unfair family must be separated, or are you waiting for the New Year?"
Nianyang couldn’t imagine the gentle Jiang Aiguo would be so bold in supporting her. Her heart warmed, and she gratefully glanced at Jiang Aiguo before turning to Zhang Jianjun, "Uncle Mayor, I’ve already decided. I want to separate from the Gu Family. I can do without anything; I don’t need the Gu Family to give me a penny. I can support myself!"
"However, once I leave the Gu Family, they will no longer control me. All my personal interests will be fully managed by myself, with no relation to the Gu Family, and they cannot interfere!"
"Of course, based on the obligation of children to support their parents, once I leave school and enter the workforce, I will provide support obligations according to the actual situation in the village, as a reference."
Each word that Nianyang spoke was powerful and echoed clearly in everyone’s ears!
Everyone had only one thought: the terms of this separation completely favored the Gu Family!
This is like giving away a daughter to another family for free, and they no longer have to fulfill the obligation of support!
And later, when the daughter works, she’ll even bring money to the family. It’s simply wonderful!
Zhang Jianjun was initially hesitant, thinking this was too harsh on Nianyang. How could parents not support their children?
But looking into Nianyang’s earnest eyes, he decisively said, "Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll make the decision for you. I’ll draw up an agreement now, following your wishes!"
"Thank you, Uncle Mayor!"
Nianyang said happily, with this agreement, she could act freely without any concerns. The Gu Family wouldn’t be able to take advantage of her under the guise of parental authority!
As for the support obligations she mentioned after starting work, that was still five or six years away. By then, it’s not even certain if they’d still be her parents!
