That's really quite a vicious remark.
Cao Ying looked at her mother in disbelief: "Mom, how could you say that?"
Cao's mother pinched Cao Ying, saying with exasperation, "I'm playing a game with the Gu family. Besides, if you go in, the Gu family won't get away with it either. Their grandson has a mother who's in jail, do you think they'd dare to do that?"
She was indeed somewhat smug, thinking that she had a handle on the Gu family.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Gu Changbai snatched his son and daughter from Cao Ying's arms and handed them to Hao Pingping, saying, "Mom, take the two children inside."
Then, Gu Changbai turned around and angrily said to the Cao family, "If you want a divorce, then get a divorce. Who are you trying to scare? If you, Cao Ying, could have married into a good family, would you have plotted against me back then? If I hadn't saved you back then, you would have died in that river."
This was the first time Gu Changbai had spoken of Cao Ying's scheme against him back then.
Both of them had realized beforehand that the matter was not simple.
Perhaps Gu Changbai didn't realize it at first, thinking that he had accidentally saved Cao Ying.
Because of her reputation, Cao Ying was forced to marry him.
But as time went by, Gu Changbai wasn't completely oblivious.
Cao Ying's heart was not with him, and later she even moved all her belongings to the Cao family.
If it weren't for Gu Hanping and Hao Pingping still being in charge at home, most of the things would be kept by my parents.
The Gu family probably doesn't even have enough to eat.
Cao Ying could hardly believe her ears. Gu Changbai was such a good-for-nothing; he couldn't even utter a single word normally.
How dare you talk to yourself about divorce now?
She was even threatening to separate the family at the time, but Gu Changbai didn't say much.
These days, their lives are indeed not as good as their in-laws'.
But Cao Ying felt quite happy, after all, she controlled the family's finances, didn't she?
She has always held the reins in the family.
At most, Gu Changbai might disagree with some things, but Cao Ying didn't need Gu Changbai's agreement.
She has her own ideas and opinions on what to do.
"Fine, let's get a divorce. Anyone who doesn't is a coward. But I'm taking my son with me."
Neither Cao's parents expected things to escalate to the point where their daughter wanted a divorce.
But thinking about it, having a daughter divorce would indeed give her leverage over Gu Changbai's family.
What does a daughter's happiness matter?
Anyway, they were raised from childhood, so if this one leaves, I can just find another one.
If you can't find a good one, then can't you find a widower whose wife has died?
My daughter is quite pretty; she might find another young, unmarried man, and the bride price will be quite high.
“Fine, if you don’t agree, then I’ll have my daughter divorce your son.” At first, Mr. Cao thought that as a man, if he made his stance clear from the beginning and then said something too serious, it would be impossible to salvage the situation.
He was willing to endure some hardship for his son's sake.
But now, Cao's father also feels that perhaps controlling his daughter's divorce can solve this problem.
Gu Hanping didn't say anything at first, but now?
Gu Hanping, his face cold but actually suppressing his inner joy, asked, "Is this what your family all thinks? Cao Ying, is this what you think too?"
Cao's parents naturally assumed that they had Gu Jia under their control.
That's definitely a firm assertion.
Cao Ying felt that things were getting out of her control, but then she realized that she had already made a boastful statement.
If you back down now, you won't be able to leave later.
Wouldn't she be driven to her death by the Gu family and those in-laws she hates?
Besides, she also felt that even if the Gu family looked down on her, wouldn't they look down on her son?
"Divorce. If you don't agree to my conditions, then let's get a divorce."
