At this mont, Ran Mo Zheng did not know that Ran Yue had arrived and was pacifying his crying mistress.
He just ca ho after working late in the office, but as soon as he entered his study, Ning Qing hugged him while crying. He spent a lot of effort just to have her speak why she was crying and when he found out it was because of his wife, Li Jing, he couldn't help but frown.
Li Jing was not the type to cause trouble for him unless it was sothing reasonable. When he announced that he had raised a mistress sowhere else and even brought ho Ning Qing's daughter with him, Li Jing only slapped and scread at him, saying he had done great injustice to her.
Ran Mo Zheng could only lower his head and feel guilty for his own actions. It wasn't that he didn't love Li Jing anymore. She was still his first love and will always be. However, ti has changed everything and he couldn't help but have fun a little just like his other peers who kept several mistresses and had illegitimate children scattered in the country.
At least, he only kept one woman, right?
After his confession, Ran Mo Zheng gave everything that Li Jing wanted, buying everything that she liked. Thankfully, Li Jing no longer fussed over this matter and even accepted the fact that he couldn't undone what was already done.
Because of this, he happily brought his mistress ho together with her children. Li Jing only coldly glanced at them before she kept a distance from them.
So, what was going on? Why did she suddenly cause trouble when he was outside?
Looking at Ning Qing's tear-streaked face, he felt a little bit sad for her and pitied her. He patted her back and gently said, "It's alright. Don't cry anymore. I'll talk to her tomorrow and tell her not to cause any trouble again."
Ning Qing cried even more and hugged him tightly, hiding the smile that exposed her acting. But it was only briefly revealed as she continued to act pitifully in front of Ran Mo Zheng.
Suddenly, as the two kept hugging each other, the door to the study was pushed open without warning.
Ran Mo Zheng and Ning Qing flinched as if they were criminals who were caught by police officers, and simultaneously looked towards the direction of the door.
Upon seeing Ran Yue standing before the door, Ran Mo Zheng pushed Ning Qing out of his embrace. Ning Qing, pushed gently to the side, felt wronged and bowed her head down, not revealing the flash in her eyes when she saw Ran Yue standing in front.
Ran Yue briefly glanced at Ran Mo Zheng before her sights fell on Ning Qing. She snorted and mockingly said, "Already playing the white lotus in front of my father, Miss Ning?"
"Yue'er! Watch what you're saying in front of !"
Ran Yue coldly laughed, "Why don't you watch your mistress and her children first before telling what to do?"
Ran Mo Zheng was angered by her tone and was about to scold her, but a soft hand stopped him.
Looking to the side, he saw Ning Qing shaking her head timidly.
Seeing her like this, Ran Mo Zheng was even more angered. He rembered that whenever Ran Yue ca ho, Ning Qing would show a fearful expression in her face and hide inside his room. What does this an? Did Ran Yue think that just because she was his daughter, she could just do whatever she wanted to the people he liked?
Ran Mo Zheng exploded just thinking of what Ran Yue could have done to his mistress and shouted, "Ran Yue! How dare you say that to , your father?! Do you even see in your eyes? Now that you're married to Yang Baihua, that bastard, you won't even show respect to ?"
"Is it because I didn't treat you well after what Yang Baihua did to you? Because I didn't seek justice. So now, you're rebelling against ?!"
Ran Yue already expected her father to explode upon seeing the slight movents made by Ning Qing. But she didn't expect that her father would actually ntion Yang Baihua in their conversation.
He knew exactly why her marriage failed and he felt pity for this daughter he raised for two decades.
Regardless of what happened, Ran Mo Zheng would never ntion her marriage and problems in front of strangers.
But today, he just had to say those words. It was even in front of his mistress, Ning Qing.
Ran Yue couldn't speak for a while after hearing what her father had to say.
Li Jing, hearing her own husband saying those words to their daughter, was imdiately furious.
Within that second, she crossed the threshold and gave Ran Mo Zheng a resounding slap.
"Ran Mo Zheng, you dare raise your voice to your daughter? For what exactly? For your mistress?! I'm telling you this, but don't expect that I will stay silent just because I let you take in your mistress and her bastards inside my house!"
Li Jing turned her head towards Ning Qing and scoffed. "And you... do you think this is the era of concubines taking over the legal wife? Don't make laugh! What do you think will happen if I filed for a divorce? Do you still think the thigh you're holding on will still have everything?"
"What did you say?!" Ran Mo Zheng was alard by Li Jing's words. "Divorce? Are you out of your mind?"
"Yes! I was insane to even think you'd never change your heart and have only ! Ran Mo Zheng, today, I, Li Jing, swear that I will protect my daughter and will file a divorce before you and your mistress could hurt her!"
After screaming until she was hoarse, Li Jing pulled Ran Yue outside and drove away from the Ran family's mansion.
As they sat silently inside the car for a long mont, Ran Yue finally opened her mouth to speak, "Mother... you didn't have to leave. They'll live happier if you leave! And that was our ho in the first place, why does it have to be us that needs to leave?"
Li Jing shook her head and sighed. "Your father... He's been planning to sell that place. After the Yang family decided to keep that woman's child, he couldn't take it and so he wanted to use the money to invest in stocks. It's useless for us to stay there."
Ran Yue felt her heart being struck with lightning and thunder. "Then, what are we going to do?"
Li Jing: "et Ran Xueyi."
