"No, I won't be able to sleep all night if I don't go."

“Ping An, go drive. The whole family will go. Pei Zhen and Xiao Ou can stay here.” Er Ya made the decision; she knew her mother’s temperament.

The two daughters-in-law nodded obediently; they really shouldn't get involved in this matter.

None of the family members sat in the three cars; Jiang Yan and Liu Xu also stayed behind.

Upon arriving at Qi Hong's house, Han Mei hurriedly came out of her room.

"Aunt, why are you here at this time?" The Ding family members had just left.

"If I don't come, you'll all be furious."

"Auntie, don't be angry, it's not worth it."

Zhu Zi rushed over to help Li Cuihua, but the old woman slapped him, saying, "I don't need your help."

"Auntie, please don't be angry. It's all my fault. Please come inside quickly."

Zhu Zi was also quite embarrassed, being beaten in front of so many younger people at his age.

The group entered the living room, and Han Mei hurriedly went to boil water, but Er Ya stopped her, saying, "Sister-in-law, you go and keep my mother company. I'll go boil water."

Han Mei nodded and sat down next to Li Cuihua. "Aunt, please don't be angry. This is easy to resolve. As long as Qi Hong wants a divorce, I have a way."

"Yes, I believe you. You're a smart person, much better than that muddle-headed fool."

"Aunt, it's my fault. I shouldn't have let them pamper me so much."

"Zhu Zi, how come you're becoming more and more irresponsible as you get older? This is your son's life's decision, and you haven't even asked your wife or Qi Hong's opinion before making this decision?"

Was your grandma like this back then? Were your parents like this?

"Auntie, I was wrong, I was really wrong." Zhu Zi apologized sincerely.

"Your grandma is gone, your parents are gone, and you still look down on me? You've got guts now."

"Auntie, I really didn't mean it like that. I just agreed without thinking at the time. Later, when I realized what was going on, it was already done. I thought the girl was pretty good, so I just let it go."

"With your eyesight, do you know what's right? Your 'right' is making Qihong lose face so badly?"

You know Shouyi. How could he be happy if someone gave Hongmei such a hard time?

By the way, are you also unhappy because Shouyi and Zhenye didn't come?

Qihong grew up around them; if something really hadn't happened, would they have stayed away?

Zhu Zi quickly shook his head. "Auntie, I absolutely didn't think that way. This occasion isn't suitable for the leaders and Zhenye and the others. When Ping An and the others got married before, it was all people from that circle. Today, half of the people here are here to see the leaders. I know that."

"The fact that you can say that shows you're not completely confused."

"By the way, what did the Ding family say?"

"They'll be coming tomorrow, Auntie. Don't worry, I'm here. It's just a matter of spending money, that's easy to handle."

"Yes, I trust you. You and Zhuzi have been married for so many years, you know his character. You two shouldn't be angry. In the future, Qihong will only marry if you agree. As for Zhuzi, you don't need to listen to his opinion."

"Aunt, don't worry, I know. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Cheng Guangxu checked the time. "Let's go back too, Mom. It's too late; you probably won't be able to sleep."

"Okay, go back. Han Mei, you should call Hong Mei tomorrow, otherwise she'll worry again."

"Aunt, I know, don't worry. I'll come to your house tomorrow to tell you the results."

Li Cuihua and her family left again, and Qihong went with them. He really didn't want to stay at home now.

Zhu Zi went to the kitchen to cook noodles and brought them to Han Mei. "Wife, don't be angry. I was wrong. I will learn from this experience with Qi Hong and will never make the same decision again."

Han Mei sighed, "Well, I'm not angry anymore. As long as things are resolved, that's all that matters."

Zhu Zi breathed a sigh of relief. He really couldn't accept it if his wife got angry and left home.

After the couple finished eating their noodles, Zhu Zi went to wash the dishes. The two lay on the bed. Zhu Zi said, "Zhu Zi, did that woman always cry in front of you before? Did you soften your heart whenever she cried?"

Zhu Zi didn't say anything; his wife was right.

"Is it because I'm strong and never shed a tear that you think I can't be sad?"

Zhu Zi quickly hugged his wife, "I absolutely didn't mean that, I don't know how to say it."

"Alright, I got it. Your performance today was pretty good."

Zhu Zi gave a wry smile. "That's my son too." He didn't say anything more.

The next morning, after returning from her boxing practice, Han Mei washed up, checked the time, and then picked up the phone to call Zhang Hongmei.

"Madam, Qihong made a fuss about divorce after we got home yesterday, and I agreed. We didn't reach an agreement yesterday, but we'll have a result today."

"Han Mei, is it really that serious?"

"The main reason is that Ding Xiaowei looks down on Qi Hong and thinks he is incompetent."

"Hmm, that won't work. Can this be resolved today? Should we send Wang Ying over?"

"No need, it's nothing."

"Okay, let me know when you get the results."

"Yes, Madam, Zhu Zi has no other ideas."

"Heh! I know, we've known each other since we were kids, how could I not know him?"

After hanging up the phone, Han Mei went to the kitchen. Just as she was about to cook, Zhu Zi returned with breakfast.

"Don't bother cooking, I bought some ready-made food. After we eat, I'll call Ding Chunqiu; this has to be resolved today."

"Well, if he doesn't come, we'll go over there."

"Okay, let's eat."

Han Mei was right; the Ding family was just making excuses not to come.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. We'll be right there. It's okay. If you're going to work, I'll come to your workplace to find you."

Ding Chunqiu gritted his teeth. All his scheming over the years had come to nothing. Everything was over.

He didn't say anything else; there was no escaping it now. He slammed down the phone and glared fiercely at the mother and daughter sitting to the side.

She's hopelessly stupid. How could I have such a daughter? It's a disgrace.

"Old Ding, what should we do? What will happen to Xiao Wei in the future?"

"Is this something we can decide? Even if we disagree, it's just a matter of dragging it out for two years."

"Then let's do as I said last night, let's just ask for money."

"In that case, we will have a complete break with the Li family."

"Old Ding, even if we don't take the money, we'll still be enemies in the future."

Ding Chunqiu understood this principle as well. He let out a long sigh.

"Old Ding, what will happen to Xiao Wei in the future? Give me a straight answer."

"What else can we do? We can just find her a normal family in another city."

"Dad, I don't want to go to another place, I want to stay in the capital."

"Stay in the capital? Who would want you?" Ding Chunqiu had no patience left to say this to his daughter.

"How could no one want me? I'll find a partner myself, you don't need to worry about it."
