When Su Lan displayed a hint of panic, Wang Yizhi saw a glimmer of hope. However, as events unfolded, Su Lan’s demeanor shifted to one of utter calmness, tinged with a trace of scorn.
Wang Yizhi’s heart grew cold. Su Lan had changed, and this time, he might not be able to exert control over her.
Nevertheless, since he was present, he resolved to make an attempt.
Approaching Su Lan, Wang Yizhi reached out to gently stroke Xiaoyu’s hair. “Xiaoyu, I’ve missed you so much…
Xiaoyu quivered.
Her father missed her deeply. Did this imply that he intended to bring her back to the Wang Family?
The thought of returning to the Wang Family was something she vehemently opposed.
Su Lan handed the jade pendant to Qin Zhenzhen and reprimanded Wang Yizhi.
“Why did you lay a hand on Xiaoyu? Do you recall how you treated her before?”
Wang Yizhi defended himself shamelessly, “I was merely offering her guidance.”
Su Lan’s frustration intensified.
“Refrain from uttering such repugnant words! Your kin has always favored boys over girls, and Xiaoyu has borne the brunt of this bias!”
“Numerous members of the Wang Family have borne witness to the scars on her body. Those marks won’t fade away!”
Subsequently, Su Lan promptly escorted them out.
“I won’t object if you wish to visit Xiaoyu!”
“Yet, Xiaoyu regards you as though you’re a specter. I dread the prospect of her being haunted by nightmares. Thus, I implore you: if you harbor any love for
Xiaoyu, depart from our abode and cease frightening her!”
The villagers exchanged hushed murmurs amongst themselves. “It’s apparent that the Wang Family truly harmed Xiaoyu!”
“The Wang Family’s behavior is utterly shameless!”
“It seems their intention isn’t solely to visit Xiaoyu. They’re likely considering a remarriage with Su Lan.”
“Su Lan will never agree! She holds a prominent position now, and she won’t make any concessions while she’s not in a vulnerable state.”
“That’s not entirely accurate. Regardless of Su Lan’s status, a woman who has been married and has children will encounter challenges marrying into an esteemed family.”
“She’s an accomplished individual with literary talents. If she secures a
Recommended status, she could attain an official position. Plus, he’s Xiaoyu’s father.’
Wang Yizhi overheard their conversation. His confidence surged, leading him to kneel before Su Lan.
He even struck himself on both cheeks.
“Lanlan, this is my wrongdoing… please find it in your heart to forgive me!”
“It’s devastating to witness Xiaoyu in this state. She despises her own father.
This is the cost of her father’s absence. Lanlan, let’s reunite!”
“Starting now, I pledge to honor and heed your wishes. I won’t contest you.”
“If you doubt me, I swear…”
Raising his right hand, Wang Yizhi was abruptly cut off by Su Lan’s icy interruption. “Spare me the theatrics. Even if you breathe your last before me,
I’ll never reconcile with you!”
Su Bin and the others abstained from intervening, understanding that their sister wouldn’t let them down.
They stood by, observing the scene. Not a trace of concern lingered within them; they were primed to expel Wang Yizhi if needed.
Wang Yizhi stood mute, while his mother endeavored to persuade Su Lan.
“Lanlan, my darling daughter-in-law, you have to think about this carefully.
For Xiaoyu’s future, you should get back together with my son!”
“Firstly, you will never marry a good family with one daughter. Secondly, many stepfathers will have bad feelings towards their stepdaughter.. What if you meet such a person…
