Chapter 251: Chapter 251: The Vixen Chapter 251: Chapter 251: The Vixen Bai Xiao had just decided to reveal herself, figuring it was better to clear the air rather than having her sister continue to hide and sneak around.
Unfortunately, she was a step too late because she saw two people suddenly rushing over from behind the dam, from behind a row of trees where Wang Yan had just been.
“Shitou!”
“Boss!”
Both voices contained anger.
Bai Xiao pinched her temples, feeling powerless, and covered her face. This was a case of being caught red-handed.
Indeed, caught in the act.
“Mom and Dad! How did you get here?”
Wang Yan protected Bai Yue behind him.
“Shitou, you get back here!”
“Dad!”
“Are you leaving or not? If you don’t leave today, I’ll break your legs, and as your father, I’ll pretend I never had a son like you.”
Well, it looks like he was still caught by his parents.
“Dad, now that you’ve seen it, I won’t lie to you. I love Bai Yue, and I want to marry her.” Wang Yan made a desperate stand; there was no way he could avoid this.
Slap!
A slap landed on Wang Yan’s face, and Bai Xiao could feel the strength of that slap even from a distance. Old man Wang clearly hadn’t held back at all.
That must have hurt!
Bai Xiao grimaced, Old man Wang must have been furious to strike such a harsh blow—after all, that was his son, not his enemy.
“Shitou, don’t be stubborn with your dad. Let’s go, co back ho with mom!” The old lady ca over to pull Wang Yan; with the father and son in such a state, it was clear that tensions were high. Both were stubborn, and it might not cool down any ti soon.
Wang Yan suddenly broke free from the old lady’s grasp. “Dad, even if you beat to death today, my words remain the sa, I want to marry Bai Yue!” He furrowed his brows, staring resolutely at Old man Wang.
The father and son were both uncompromising.
Old man Wang was breathing furiously, his breaths hissing like the bellows used in a fire, and Bai Xiao could even imagine Old man Wang with his eyes bloodshot.
It’s best if you go back with your parents first, we can talk things through!” Bai Yue pulled on Wang Yan, not wanting him to really break ties with his family over her, although Wang Yan had ntioned this more than once to her.
But now that it had co to this, Bai Yue couldn’t bear it. Raising a son to provide for old age, yet to see a son treat his own parents like this over a woman, any parent would feel aggrieved.
“Shut up, who gave you the right to butt in? Just look at you, a divorced woman not behaving with dignity in the dead of night. No wonder the Li Family doesn’t want you. You’re nothing but a flirtatious vixen, leading my good son astray. To what extent has he been bewitched by you now? I’m telling you, as long as I, Wang Lao Shi, live a day, you’d better not dream of getting your claws on my son. Get lost now.” Old man Wang was flying into a rage at Bai Yue.
Unable to bring his son’s heart back, Old man Wang could only lash out at Bai Yue. This woman was the crux. His fine son wasn’t raised for soone else. Because of a divorced woman, Wang Yan dared to challenge them today, standing his ground stubbornly against them. Old man Wang felt his authority was being challenged like never before.
He blad everything on the woman before him. The saying goes that a beautiful woman is a source of trouble. Isn’t this woman proof of that?
Had it not been for Bai Yue getting divorced and moving back to Liupan Village to live, their son, Wang Yan, would never have set his sights on this woman. Ultimately, it was all this woman’s fault.
A woman who doesn’t properly handle her household affairs and insists on causing a stir with a divorce clearly isn’t good. Even if her man wasn’t great, she shouldn’t have divorced. A divorce demonstrates that Bai Yue herself has behavioral issues. Otherwise, why doesn’t everyone else get divorced? When it cos to her, she wants to divorce, bringing her three sons with her. How can that be justified?
In Old man Wang’s eyes, divorced won were all indecent, just look at how she hooked his son’s heart now, making Wang Yan oppose his own family. Such a woman, he resolutely refused to allow into their ho, absolutely disagreeing, even if it killed him.
Tears imdiately started flowing down Bai Yue’s face. Probably only Li Dashan, besides Old man Wang, had ever humiliated her so blatantly to her face. Such cruel, face-slapping words were the utmost insult and disdain anyone could show a woman.
“Dad, if you’re going to talk like that, I will tell you that Bai Yue is the woman I love the most. If I can’t have her, I won’t marry anyone else in this lifeti. I’d rather be a bachelor forever. It wasn’t her seducing , it was forcing her to like . If there is a fault, it’s mine, and it has nothing to do with her. She’s a good woman; just now she was advising to separate from her to avoid making things difficult for the family, but how can you not think before saying such things at your age!” Wang Yan held Bai Yue tightly in his arms, his stance firm.
Now that things were out in the open, what was there to fear?
The trouble Bai Yue faced from her father was because of him. Old man Wang’s intentions were no secret to him; he had been causing trouble these past few months, insisting on setting him up with so woman from the neighboring village. Had it not been for his outright refusal when the matchmaker and that girl’s parents ca knocking, his father likely would have already forced him to marry her.
It was to sever his infatuation, but he could never leave Bai Yue in this lifeti. She was the most important person in his heart, and no one could stop his pursuit of happiness.
Old man Wang was truly seeing red now. His son was completely bewitched.
About to say even harsher words, the Old Lady suddenly stopped him; she knew all too much how stubborn her old man was. In this situation, if he said anything absolute, Wang Yan would take it seriously. If it really escalated to a father-son rift, it would be too great a loss.
“Shitou, no matter what, you need to co ho with us first, let’s talk more there, not here. What does this look like in the middle of the night? If soone hears us, they’ll think we’re uncouth!” The Old Lady was skilled in speech, turning to Bai Yue, she said, “Bai Yue, you go back too. This matter needs to be considered by us, the adults.” This was the limit of what the Old Lady was willing to say to Bai Yue; she wouldn’t utter another word.
Bai Yue nudged Wang Yan, “Let’s go back.” She didn’t wish that because of her, Wang Yan would truly sever ties with his family.
She had never wanted to uncover this matter because she feared she couldn’t bear such consequences, constantly hovering between breaking it off or not because their relationship was different from normal marriages. Now the harsh truth had been revealed, and Bai Yue knew that it wouldn’t be long before this matter was resolved.
She could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The dust had settled, which wasn’t a bad thing; it was better than being constantly anxious. If Wang Yan chose not to be with her because of his family, wasn’t it sothing she had anticipated long ago?
So what was there to be disappointed or worried about? She was just a divorced woman, undeserving of happiness, indulging her own delusions. So this dream could finally end, sparing her the struggle to let go of this warmth she clung to. Actually, the continuous dragging on without breaking up with Wang Yan was because deep down, she still couldn’t bear to part with this rare tenderness and warmth.
Wang Yan had given her all the fantasies and consideration she could expect from a man, which made her reluctant to let go. Now, it was ti to wake up, her dream had reached its end.
Bai Yue waved at Wang Yan, “Auntie, Uncle, I’m going back first!”
Turning, she walked away quickly, her pace almost a run by the end as she headed ho, her tears hidden from all eyes.
Bai Xiao quietly followed behind, ensuring his sister’s safe return ho.
Maybe the conflict was just beginning. His sister was the best in the world, so kind, it was heartbreaking.
