Tang Xianfang frowned: "Impossible! My decision will never change!"

If she had persevered back then, she wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to get to the starting line. Because of her weakness and compromise, she missed out on too many precious moments.

She will have to pay a much higher price to make up for the time she wasted.

Tang's father was about to burst into a tirade, but looking at Tang Xianfang's cold and rational face, he instantly realized that this was no longer the second daughter he had forced to give up her studies with just a word from her.

Tang Xianfang has her own confidence!

Tang's father's stiff expression softened: "Fine, you don't have to listen. You'll understand what I mean one day!"

He nodded to Tang's mother: "Stay here with her during this time, and don't let her cause any trouble!"

Tang's mother immediately nodded obediently.

Tang Xianfang glanced at her mother and didn't object; she did need someone to stay behind and do the housework.

She didn't want to argue with Tang's father about whether Tang's mother stayed or left; she could use that energy for her work.

If Tang's mother stayed and caused her trouble, she would send her away without hesitation. She wouldn't be soft-hearted towards her own family; her feelings for them had long been worn away.

So, Tang's mother naturally stayed and took care of Tang Xianfang's daily life.

Tang's mother is the most competent caregiver.

Mr. Tang was a strong-willed and nitpicky man who was very strict with Mrs. Tang in life. He would lash out and give her a hard time if she was not satisfied. Over the decades, Mrs. Tang honed her skills.

Not long after Tang's mother moved in, Tang Xianfang began to enjoy the conveniences that her mother brought her in life.

At the same time, they also have to deal with some troubles that come with Tang's mother.

Tang Aifang started going to Tang Xianfang's house more often, and the two sisters met more frequently.

Tang Aifang didn't treat Tang Xianfang as the hostess. Even when she came to someone else's house, she still acted self-righteous. She came to see her mother, not specifically to Tang Xianfang's house.

If her mother weren't around, she wouldn't even bother to visit Tang Xianfang's house!

Tang Aifang's hatred for Tang Xianfang needs no hiding; it is laid bare.

As Tang Aifang appeared more frequently, the neighbors in the same compound began to learn about the discord between Tang Xianfang and her sister, and many busybodies sought out Tang Aifang to inquire about the situation.

Tang Aifang was even more shameless. She was unhappy with her own life and couldn't stand seeing Tang Xianfang doing well. She vented all her malice and even told others about Tang Xianfang's divorce.

The news caused a huge stir; no one knew it until they were told, everyone was shocked by it.

Tang Xianfang doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like divorce!

The public outcry led Tang Aifang to glean a crucial piece of information.

Tang Xianfang's divorce certainly wasn't without reason!

That day, as usual, Tang's mother returned from grocery shopping and was surrounded by a group of people downstairs who kept asking her about Tang Xianfang's divorce.

When did this happen?

Who started it between the couple?

...

One of them said with certainty that the divorce was definitely Tang Xianfang's fault, because she carefully observed...

Tang's mother immediately shouted, "Who told you my Xianfang is divorced? She's not! My son-in-law even came over yesterday, are you blind?!"

Everyone scoffed at Tang's mother's stubbornness.

"Xianfang's mother, how dare you say that? How would we know about this divorce? It was all told by your own family members, your eldest daughter Tang Aifang herself!"

Tang's mother was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Tang's father had kept her around in order to persuade Tang Xianfang to remarry, which was a top priority for him.

How could Tang Aifang dare to tell others about Tang Xianfang's divorce?

Tang's mother was rendered speechless by this unexpected turn of events: "I... love Fang, she..."

What should we do?!

Tang's father would be so angry that he would kill someone if he knew.

Tang's mother, her hands and feet ice-cold, shook off the neighbors who kept asking questions and rushed upstairs.

Upon opening the door, Tang Aifang was excitedly packing the clothes she had brought, as she was about to move back to her own home.

Suppressing her anger, Tang's mother closed the door and walked up to Tang Aifang.

"Tang Aifang, are you crazy! You even dared to tell others about your sister's divorce! Your father repeatedly told you to persuade your sister to get back together with her! You've ruined everything! Do you think your father will ever let you into your parents' house again!"

They won't let me into my parents' house?

Tang Aifang snorted disdainfully. She would soon be able to climb over Tang Xianfang to get ahead, and she would definitely be more successful than Tang Xianfang in the future.

She learned from her neighbors that Tang Xianfang had recently been entertaining a wealthy man, and the two had an ambiguous relationship. Tang Xianfang had found a better place to go, so she felt confident enough to get a divorce.

This time, she won't be foolish enough to let Tang Xianfang seize the opportunity; the tycoon must be hers!

Tang Aifang whispered in her mother's ear, "Mom, don't argue with me about this. Do you know why Tang Xianfang wants a divorce? You probably don't know, but she's found someone even better!"

"What do you mean?" Tang's mother was confused by her words.

The task assigned by Tang's father was to persuade Tang Xianfang to remarry. If it was really as Tang Aifang said, then the task would be impossible to complete.

Tang's mother was too naive to process the information immediately, and was only concerned about the task that Tang's father had given her.

"mom!"

Tang Aifang was furious: "Don't you understand what this means? Tang Xianfang cheated on her, that's why they divorced her. Otherwise, think about it with your brain. Tang Xianfang gave birth to a daughter, and at such a young age, she is already a very capable doctor in the hospital. Would they agree to divorce her? It's definitely because she was in the wrong first, and they don't want her anymore!"

"How could this be! My daughter wouldn't be that kind of person!"

Tang's mother was terrified. She was a person who cared most about the traditional Chinese virtues of obedience, submission, and chastity. In her grandmother's generation, Tang Xianfang would have been beaten to death for doing such a thing.
