Zhu Zhitao's words were just nonsense to his mother!

"What?" Zhu's mother sneered. "How can this be? That's clearly yours!"

“Hehe, what’s wrong with that? Xiaoxiao is my child, why can’t she inherit my things? Besides, my salary isn’t even enough to cover your living expenses. Yuanhua pays for all the household expenses, so I have no face to argue.” Zhu Zhitao said, and this time, he finally understood.

If he can't correct his attitude and continues to try to smooth things over as before, a divorce is inevitable.

The only thing that can save the marriage now is to adopt the right attitude and handle things properly with the parents.

“What do you mean you have no face to fight for it? Even if we get a divorce, we will fight for it,” said Zhu’s mother. “That little one is our Zhu family’s child. We will fight for custody, and all the property in the future will belong to our Zhu family.”

His mother is determined to ruin him and get him divorced.

“That’s Xiaoxiao’s, not the Zhu family’s,” Zhu Zhitao said. “Don’t even think about taking something from Xiaoxiao to help my second brother’s family. I won’t agree to that. Even if we get divorced, I won’t fight for Xiaoxiao’s custody. I feel at ease with Xiaoxiao by Yuanhua’s side, but not with you. You say the child stole food? You didn’t give Xiaoxiao any food for a day. What’s wrong with giving her two biscuits? What’s wrong with that? It’s not like she stole someone else’s food. Can’t she eat her own?”

Zhu Zhitao only realized what had happened after watching the video recordings at home yesterday.

He was so disappointed in his mother.

It was all his fault before. His mother always tolerated him and never said anything, so it became a form of indulgence.

"I...I'm not feeling well, am I?" Zhu's mother argued illogically, showing no remorse for not loving her granddaughter, but instead resorting to sophistry.

"Heh, you're not feeling well?" Zhu Zhitao sneered. "I took you for a checkup today, a thorough examination, but they couldn't find anything wrong. You're just asking for trouble. It's one thing to cause trouble yourself, but to cause trouble for your son too. Seeing your eldest son's wife and children separated, you're finally at ease, happy..."

When Zhu's father came in from outside, he heard his son and wife arguing.

"Zhitao, what are you saying? No matter what, she's still your mother," Zhu's father said. "Apologize to your mother right now!"

"Apologize?" Zhu Zhitao sneered. "My mother was wrong, but you weren't wrong either? When Xiaoxiao was being starved and punished, couldn't you, as her grandfather, say something? But what did you do? You were just drinking tea over there, and it was the best tea that Yuanhua bought. Didn't you feel guilty when you were drinking it?"

Mr. Zhu was taken aback, not expecting his son to be so angry.

What was initially infuriating, after hearing what her son said, left her at a loss for words.

After all, he really didn't care about or love Zhu Xiaoxiao, so when his wife treated Xiaoxiao badly, he turned a blind eye and didn't take it to heart.

But my son isn't home, how would he know!

"How did you know?" Zhu's father asked, somewhat surprised.

"Heh, how would I know?" Zhu Zhitao sneered. "The family video cameras are all recording! Yuanhua has never been a weak woman. The reason she tolerated you was because she considered you her elders. But you have hurt her and Xiaoxiao again and again. You even want to take a share of our marital property under Xiaoxiao's name? There's no chance at all. Based on that kind of video evidence of you abusing Xiaoxiao, you won't get a single penny. With elders like you, the judge would have to be blind to give custody of the child to a useless father like me."

When Zhu Zhitao said this, his eyes turned red, and he could no longer hold back his tears, which streamed down his face.

The more he talked, the more convinced he became that Yuan Hua would never forgive him!

Because Yuen Wah has always been a woman who keeps her word and delivers on her promises.

Perhaps a divorce agreement is not just empty words.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhu looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

Zhu's mother, in particular, was very puzzled and asked, "What video? Where is it?"

“The videotapes are all in the study,” Zhu Zhitao said. “After watching them last night, I understand why Yuanhua is so angry and doesn’t want to be with me anymore. Are you happy now?”

After saying that, Zhu Zhitao left dejectedly. When he got to his workplace, he still had the divorce agreement in his hand, so he quickly put it into his briefcase.

He Tiantian came over for training and saw Zhu Zhitao looking unnatural.

However, He Tiantian didn't ask any more questions, as she believed Yuan Hua could handle it.

That evening, Zhu Zhitao went home.

Zhu's mother said triumphantly, "I've hidden all those videos. Since Yuan Hua can't be found, there's no evidence."

“Hehe, that’s a backup,” Zhu Zhitao said. He used to think his mother was a shrewd person, but now he realized that she was a woman who was too clever for her own good.

"Huh?" Zhu's mother was taken aback. "What do you mean by that?"

"This copy at home is a backup; Yuanhua has an even more complete copy," Zhu Zhitao said. "Even now, all you're thinking about is destroying evidence, not feeling any remorse. You guys are truly heartless!"

After saying that, Zhu Zhitao drove away to Jinhua Residential Area to see if he could get in.

After her son left, Zhu's mother was stunned for a moment, then cursed, "That little bitch Yuanhua is very scheming!"

“I told you not to go too far, but you did it anyway,” said Zhu’s father. “Now that Yuanhua is serious this time, we’re definitely not going to get anything out of it. If Yuanhua really divorces Zhitao, Zhitao will hate us for the rest of his life.”

"I am his biological mother!" Zhu's mother said nonchalantly. "No matter what, he will not disown me as his biological mother."

“You shouldn’t be so confident. I think our son hates us this time,” said Mr. Zhu. “And you, the child is so young, what’s a little food? But you just don’t like her.”

"If you liked it, why didn't you say so sooner! Where was the earlier?" Zhu's mother sneered, looking completely unconcerned, and went to the dining room to eat, showing no interest whatsoever.

Zhu Zhitao then arrived at Jinhua Residential Area.

I finally arrived at my doorstep and knocked on the door.

Yuan Hua, Yuan's father, and Xiao Xiao are having dinner.

Hearing a knock at the door, Yuan Hua got up and went to open it.

Upon seeing that it was Zhu Zhitao, Yuan Hua did not allow him to enter, but instead said softly, "Have you finished reading the agreement?"

Zhu Zhitao's eyes stung, and he choked out, "Yuanhua, can't you give me a chance?"

Yuan Hua gently shook his head and said, "I have given you many chances, but you have never cherished them. I have said everything I needed to say. You know me; I keep my word. We have been married for so many years, and no matter how much I have suffered, I have never mentioned divorce. I felt that I could still bear it, but now I can't bear it anymore. Moreover, I haven't felt any happiness in my marriage since I got together with you two years ago. I feel that our marriage has no need to continue."

Hearing this confirmed Zhu Zhitao's suspicions.

“I’ve let you down,” Zhu Zhitao said. “I neglected your and Xiaoxiao’s feelings for the sake of so-called family harmony.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hua felt a lump in her throat. She didn't want to see things come to this, but she had to take this step.
