An Shuchao looked at his own daughter in shock, "You want me to divorce your stepmother?"
The moment he heard about Bai Xue Mei’s affair, he had thought of countless possibilities, except the idea of divorcing her.
Ever since Bai Xue Mei married him, she had been a gentle wife, treating him and An Ping well, it was just An Hao that she wasn’t good to.
"How come you’re unwilling?" An Hao’s eyes were fixed on him without blinking.
"An Hao, is there some kind of misunderstanding in this matter?" Keeping a family together until now hasn’t been easy, he didn’t want to simply break it apart. If Bai Xue Mei hadn’t done anything to betray him, how could he just send her away?
"Misunderstanding? How could there be a misunderstanding? I saw it with my own eyes, and you trust me, so where would the misunderstanding come from? Bai Yanjiao had Yang Erdan beat me and ruin my face, Camp Commander Qin and Regiment Commander Tian can testify to that. Just for that alone, you shouldn’t let them create havoc in our home anymore! You are my father, and I am your daughter! How can a father not think... not think about me and An Ping..." Tears flooded An Hao’s eyes, and she felt so overwhelmed she could barely breathe.
She knew her weak father all too well; if she didn’t force him, he would never be able to make a decision on his own.
Seeing the emotional stirrings at the bottom of An Shuchao’s eyes, Bai Xue Mei feared he might waver. In desperation, she could only resort to drastic measures.
She took down a rope from the wall, walked to the peach tree in the yard, tied the knot, and spoke to An Hao with determination, "Isn’t it you who wants to drive me away? All these years, you just can’t tolerate me! Since it’s , I might as well be dead! I’ll die and that will be the end of it!"
Having spoken, she added fuel to the fire for An Shuchao, "I originally didn’t want to tell you this, but now I’m forced into a corner, I’ll let you know. The scene An Hao saw was not me seducing Li Wangfu, but him trying to take advantage of me! Why didn’t I speak out? Because I was considering your dignity as a man!"
Bai Xue Mei, appearing adamant about hanging herself, while Bai Yanjiao was crying and making a scene trying to untie the knot.
An Hao laughed, what a good strategy!
The act put on by mother and daughter, how many people’s eyes could it deceive?
Seeing An Shuchao’s hesitation and reluctance, An Hao knew he couldn’t make any decisions.
"You don’t need to decide anymore. I’m leaving! I won’t come back to this home again." An Hao said resolutely, then turned to leave.
Qin Jian saw the pain and despair in her eyes, and his heart felt as if it had been hit by a heavy blow. He reached out to support An Hao but was pushed away by her, "Big Brother Qin, I’m embarrassed you had to see such a farce. Don’t worry about me, you should go back now! Don’t... don’t make me feel..."
Don’t make her feel too ashamed...
She didn’t say the last three words, but Qin Jian understood.
"Alright." He nodded, exchanged a look with Tian Niu, and left her home.
"Qin, seeing your sister-in-law suffering so much at home, you should hurry up and marry her!" Tian Niu felt deeply indignant for An Hao, "I have never seen such a father, is he really her father? He just watches his daughter suffer and can’t even make a single peep!"
Qin Jian furrowed his brows deeply, analyzing the situation rationally, "Her dad actually loves her, but he’s just too confused! Too indecisive, not at all like a man!"
"You’re absolutely right! I really hope he wakes up sooner rather than later!" Tian Niu took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took two deep drags.
