424: Chapter 423: How Could She Possibly Break Up 424: Chapter 423: How Could She Possibly Break Up “Dad!
Ti for your dicine!” Shao irou carried a bowl of brown herbal soup to the bedside.
“Okay!” Shao Chengzhi’s hoarse voice responded, and then he slowly sat up.
Shao irou hurriedly placed the dicine bowl on the bedside table and helped support his back.
After Shao Chengzhi had finished the dicine, a glimpse of guilt flashed in Shao irou’s eyes, and she asked with concern, “Dad!
Do you feel a bit better?”
Shao Chengzhi coughed twice before saying, “A bit better!”
“Dad!
It’s all my fault!
If it weren’t for my issues, you wouldn’t have gotten so upset!” Shao irou was filled with self-reproach.
She wanted her elderly father to support and decide for her without considering his health.
What angered her even more was Lu Pengcheng, who, for so unknown reason, was adamant about getting a divorce no matter what!
Shao Chengzhi looked at his daughter, whose eyes were slightly red, knowing the pain his own child felt, and he indeed felt that his daughter was being wronged about their divorce.
But so things can’t be forced!
He sighed internally!
“irou, what’s done is done, don’t bla yourself anymore!
Sit down!
Let’s talk for a bit,” he said.
Shao irou obediently sat in the chair by the bed.
“Dad!
What do you want to talk about?”
“Xiaozheng must have arrived early, right?” Shao Chengzhi asked.
Shao irou frowned unhappily, “He’s been here a while!
Dad!
I just don’t understand, why do you still think Lin Xia is good?
Lu Zheng said he was going there, I disagreed, but you supported him the most!
He just went!
This ti my mother-in-law went over to Lin Xia’s and ended up so upset she had to go to the hospital!
If it weren’t for this hospital incident, how could Lu Pengcheng have t that nurse!” She was still visibly upset.
Shao Chengzhi shook his head in disappointnt, “You!
You really can be extre!
It wasn’t right for your mother-in-law to go there and threaten her in the first place!
Then to exaggerate the situation, for what?
Wasn’t it just to make Xiaozheng and the others bla her!
The aftermath went beyond her expectations!
I guess she’s regretting it now?
Who should we really bla for all this?
If we must point fingers, doesn’t your mother-in-law have any fault?
irou!
I’ve always thought of you as a sensible and understanding person, yet I didn’t expect you to be so unreasonable and biased in this matter!
Just because Lin Xia is your future daughter-in-law, a junior from a lesser family background, do you think it’s fair to bla her at will?”
Shao Chengzhi still didn’t know that Fang Youlan had gone to Spring City, influenced by Shao irou.
Of course, Shao irou herself wouldn’t admit to this.
She defended herself, “No!
Dad!
It’s just that Lin Xia is too ill-mannered!
Even if my mother-in-law said sothing unpleasant, she is still an elder, isn’t she!
Look at her daring to talk back to my mother-in-law; one day, might she not show the sa disrespect towards or even you?
Her low family background is already an issue, but her defiant temperant tops it off; will she not be even more rebellious in the future?
I only have this one son, Xiaozheng.
When we get old, will we have to live together with them?”
“We’re not even married yet, and there’s already no respect for seniors and juniors.
When the marriage day cos, where will we stand…”
Shao Chengzhi waved his hand irritably, “Enough!
I don’t want to hear it!
Xiaozheng is already over there, and it’s still uncertain whether she can beco your daughter-in-law!”
Although he hadn’t had much interaction with Lin Xia, he could tell that the girl had a strong temper and was very assertive.
With these incidents, it was impossible for her not to feel any resentnt.
Being criticized and judged by her future mother-in-law’s family before even getting married, one would definitely think carefully about whether it was necessary to continue.
Marrying far away was never an easy affair.
If you can’t rely on your husband and his family stands so proudly, what’s the incentive for anyone?
Shao irou quietly pursed her lips in disagreent, “How could she possibly break up with Xiaozheng!
If they could break up, would my mother-in-law have ended up in the hospital?” She was utterly unconvinced of that possibility.
In her heart, she felt that Lin Xia, coming from a less prestigious family, had finally found a high-status family, like a phoenix flying up to a branch.
How could she give that up easily?
Shao Chengzhi had his own judgnts and didn’t wish to say more but casually asked, “How are you considering things with Lu Pengcheng?”
Shao irou glared with anger, losing her previous frailty, “Of course I cannot let him be pleased!
Now he’s even angered you into illness!
I need to be even less compromising!
If he wants to retire, let him!
Let’s see how he handles his mother!”
Let alone others, his own mother wouldn’t let Lu Pengcheng have an easy ti!
Shao Chengzhi had thought a lot these past few days and wasn’t as shockingly bewildered as when he first learned of the issues.
After calming down, he realized that maintaining this marriage was hardly aningful anymore.
Overti, his eldest daughter lived in misery, which he saw with his own eyes.
She was not happy with Lu Pengcheng, who, besides having no place for her in his heart, had also reconnected with his first love, who bore him a daughter.
If this had happened during the marriage, he would have made him pay a dreadful price, even his life!
But that wasn’t the case!
This was making things difficult!
Whatever one might say, Lu Pengcheng was still the biological father of his grandson!
He earnestly persuaded, “irou!
I think you should really think this through calmly.
If his heart isn’t with you, why bother continuing with this marriage in na only?
Although you are over fifty this year, do you still want to repeat the sa life of the past decades?
Haven’t you had enough of that kind of life?”
Shao irou burst into tears.
How could she not know that every word spoken by her old father was true?
But the frustration in her heart was truly hard to overco.
Opening her heart, she wiped her tears and choked up, “Dad!
I understand the reasoning too!
But I can’t get over this emotional hurdle!
I spent so many years with him in a marriage of mutual respect.
He seldom ca ho, always staying at his workplace.
I always knew he didn’t care for , but I thought at least we were husband and wife, and we had a son!
I was thinking that once he retired, he could stay at ho all day!
But I never expected that at this age he’d be determined to divorce !
Not only can’t I bear the disgrace, I’m also extrely frustrated…
Why should he waste half my life and still leave and my son to find his own happiness?
What about my happiness?”
Although she had t Luo Xinyan, she could see she had no intentions of resuming a relationship with Lu Pengcheng, but such matters were unpredictable as people’s feelings can change!
What if their family of three lives amicably together, what about her and Xiaozheng?
Shao Chengzhi listened silently before finally saying, “irou!
Sotis letting go not only gratifies the other person but also gratifies yourself!
Think about it!”
He didn’t want to say more.
So things still need to be figured out on one’s own…
