521: Chapter 520: Admitting a Mistake 2 521: Chapter 520: Admitting a Mistake 2 Seeing Xu Sanya again, Du Zhiwen hurriedly got up from his chair, “Sanya.”
He walked over to her.
But Xu Sanya flicked her hand away, “Don’t touch .”
“If you have sothing to say, say it here, in front of my folks,” she said, ungraciously.
Xu Erhong stood aside, enjoying the spectacle, arms crossed, mouth twisting into an ever-greater smirk.
The old lady and Xu Wentian, however, remained silent.
Xu Niannian was hesitating, wondering if she should step away and let Xu Sanya and Du Zhiwen sort things out first.
But then she saw how many onlookers there were and suddenly thought that one more wouldn’t make a difference.
Seeing her standing to one side, the old lady even called her over to sit beside her, looking at her with pity.
Xu Sanya looked indifferently at Du Zhiwen and walked to the dining table to sit down.
Du Zhiwen followed behind her.
Xu Sanya said impatiently, “What are you still doing here?
I already said I want a divorce, don’t co looking for .
Our Xu family’s threshold is low enough, stepping in shouldn’t lower your status,” she said with hostility.
Xu Sanya’s words were much more discourteous than Xu Erhong’s, blunt, straightforward, and harsh.
Facing so many people, Du Zhiwen actually felt sowhat unable to preserve his dignity, especially since the mistake he had made was to belittle her family mbers.
These things were easy to say behind their backs, but in front of the entire family, even if he had maintained a condescending attitude towards the Xu family mbers, he couldn’t bring himself to speak openly.
“Sanya…
I was wrong, co back with ,” Du Zhiwen said, distressed.
He didn’t want a divorce, not at all, he didn’t want to be alone, nor did he want to start over with soone else.
Xu Sanya turned her face away, not looking at him.
Hearing him admit his mistake reminded her of his years of indifference towards her family, and the resentnt that had built up over the years burst forth.
She scoffed, “Ha, what did you do wrong?
It’s who was wrong.
I shouldn’t have married you in the first place.
If I hadn’t, I could have visited ho whenever I wanted, not have to curry favor.
How foolish was I to avoid going ho for a whole year because of you.”
The old lady had already tried to talk Xu Sanya around, and Xu Sanya thought that as long as Du Zhiwen ca over to apologize, she would forgive him right then and there.
But she had underestimated her own anger, especially when faced with him, that long-suppressed resentnt couldn’t help but surge forward.
“Now, it’s clear we can’t continue like this.
For all these years, I was wrong, I didn’t consider your feelings.
You look down on my family, so you should look down on too.
You think my family mbers are rude and uneducated, let tell you, my dad is educated, more so than you, a university graduate,” she said while wiping away tears.
Upon hearing this last remark, the Xu family mbers nearly lost their composure on the spot.
The old lady was even more embarrassed for Xu Sanya, thinking what an embarrassnt she was.
Couldn’t she talk about serious matters properly?
What are you bragging about at this ti?
Stick to the main issue.
Her outburst left everyone, including the Xu family mbers, caught off guard, and even Du Zhiwen didn’t know whether to laugh at Sanya’s bluntness or to truly admit his faults.
“Young Aunt,” Xu Niannian tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to get back on track.
Xu Sanya also suddenly realized she had gone off-topic in her inability to contain herself.
She stiffly said, “I’m crude too, my education isn’t as high as yours, let’s just get a divorce.
You want soone highly educated, soone who thinks on the sa level as you.
Go find soone at your school, there are still several female teachers who aren’t married.”
She ntioned divorce repeatedly, and the more she talked, the more resolute she sounded, which even frightened Du Zhiwen.
He was panicking inside.
“Sanya, please, let’s not divorce.
I don’t want a divorce, will you please co ho with ?”
“No,” Xu Sanya refused outright, not giving it a second thought.
Du Zhiwen, becoming desperate and sweating profusely, recalled how during past argunts with Xu Sanya, he never needed to apologize to make up.
At worst, he would just concede a little, and she would imdiately let go of any grudge.
He hadn’t expected her to be so adamant this ti.
Looking at her stern face, Du Zhiwen was at a loss for words.
He tried to grab Xu Sanya’s hand, “Sanya, will you please co ho with , I know I was wrong.”
Xu Sanya shook off his hand, and it slamd into the edge of the table, making a loud clang.
“You were wrong?
What were you wrong about, it’s who was wrong.
I shouldn’t have married above my station to a person like you, a people’s teacher.
You’re oh so great, aren’t you?
Supposed to be matched with heiresses, or at least a female teacher,” she said defiantly.
Xu Sanya’s deanor seed exceptionally resolute, making even Xu Niannian worry that she might really an it.
Just as everyone was wondering if Xu Sanya was serious, Du Zhiwen suddenly let out a “bang” as he kneeled on the ground.
Both knees on the ground.
Xu Niannian looked at Du Zhiwen in surprise.
Even the old lady and Xu Wentian cast a bemused glance at him, while Xu Erhong just rolled his eyes heavenward.
What’s the point of kneeling?
As if there’s gold under a man’s knees, thinking it’s sothing special, is it?
Ha, he kneels all the ti.
What’s the big deal?
It’s not like he ever got poked by gold while on his knees.
Xu Erhong kept up an internal tirade of disdain, yet the person most astonished at the scene was undoubtedly Xu Sanya.
She might have guessed that Du Zhiwen would co to apologize, but she never imagined he would kneel before her in front of her family.
Was this really Du Zhiwen?
