Faced with Gan Lin's accusations, Gan Li silently typed a '6' in her mind.
Seeing the smug look in Sun's eyes, she sneered, raised her hand, and said coldly, "I'm accusing you? You'd better take a look at this."
A jade pendant fell from her hand, but fortunately, because she was holding onto the rope attached to it, the pendant did not fall to the ground. Instead, it swayed in mid-air, which was quite an eyesore in this scene.
When Madam Sun saw the jade pendant, her expression changed.
Gan Lin's angry expression froze for a moment.
Ganli looked at his expression and said:
"This just fell off your mother. You've probably already recognized this jade pendant and know who its original owner was."
For so many years, Chen Danian has relied on this jade pendant to maintain his image as a scholar, but now he's given it to your mother and says they have no relation. Do you believe that?
Gan Lin stared blankly at Madam Sun, but saw that the latter subconsciously avoided eye contact, and immediately understood what was going on.
His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Sun felt uneasy under his gaze, and avoided eye contact with him.
"Lin'er, let your mother explain..." Madam Sun began hesitantly, trying to salvage the situation, but when the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to explain.
Should she tell her son that she initially just didn't want Gan Li to be smug, but later fell for Chen Danian's refined and handsome appearance?
How could she possibly say those words?
Gan Mingyi calmed down at this moment. His eyes were red, and he wiped his face hard, gritting his teeth as he said, "Mrs. Sun, if you want to save face in front of the children, stop making excuses!"
He took a deep breath, looked at his deeply affected son Gan Lin, felt a pang of pain in his heart, and spoke with a resolute tone:
"For the sake of the children, I won't tell anyone about your shameful deeds, but don't even think about staying in the Gan family anymore! We're getting a divorce!"
Gan Li raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by her second brother's decision.
However, thinking about Gan Lin... she understood her second brother's good intentions.
While catching rats, one must also consider the jade bottle. No matter how despicable Sun Shi may be, she is still Gan Lin's biological mother.
If her affair were exposed, Sun's reputation would be ruined, but how could Gan Lin ever face anyone again with a mother like that?
Upon hearing Gan Mingyi's words, Madam Sun's face flushed red and then paled. She was unwilling, but dared not say anything more.
She knew that she was in the wrong today.
Moreover, she knew Gan Mingyi's personality; he couldn't tolerate any infidelity. Knowing that she had cheated on him, how could he possibly still forgive her?
It's already the best outcome that they're willing to keep quiet about the bad things I've done, out of consideration for my son.
Rather than arguing further and angering the Gan family, it's better to leave like this and at least save face.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Sun gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.
When the village chief was called in to preside over the matter, he was still a little confused and wanted to say a few words of advice, but Old Man Gan sighed and shook his head at him.
Seeing that the Gan family members all looked grim and Sun looked guilty and ashamed, the village chief guessed that something must have happened. So he didn't waste any more words, helped the two of them write the divorce papers, and then took his leave.
Madam Sun didn't say anything more. She turned around and went to the cabinet, where she wrapped all of Gan Lin's clothes in a cloth. Then she looked at Gan Lin and said, "Lin'er, your mother is leaving. Take care!"
Then he turned around and left.
Before Gan Lin could react, Gan Mingyi had already taken a few steps to Sun Shi and grabbed her arm.
Mrs. Sun turned pale with fright and screamed:
"Gan Mingyi, what do you want to do? Let me tell you, I'm no longer one of your family members. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I'll report you to the authorities and accuse you of bullying innocent people, and I'll send you to jail!"
Gan Mingyi sneered disdainfully: "You? You think you're worthy of dirtying my hands? I'm just worried that you might do something rash on the way and then blame it on my Gan family, so I'm kindly sending you back!"
Of course, his fear that she might try to kill herself was just an excuse; what he was really worried about was that this woman would go back and spread rumors, ruining the Gan family's reputation.
The affair must not be known to outsiders, but it must be known to her family, to prevent them from causing trouble in the future!
Having been married to him for so many years, how could Mrs. Sun not know what kind of wicked scheme he was plotting?
She originally planned to go back to her parents' home and cry about how Gan Mingyi was ungrateful and wanted to abandon his wife who had shared her hardships just as things were starting to look up. She thought that her brother and sister-in-law would take pity on her and, even if they were unwilling, they wouldn't be able to kick her out. They thought they could at least let her stay at her parents' home for a while.
But if they find out that I was divorced because I cheated on them, then I can forget about having a good life!
Without a second thought, Mrs. Sun refused, saying, "No need! I can walk by myself."
Seeing her fierce but cowardly appearance, Gan Mingyi was too lazy to waste words with her. He told his family a few words and then pulled Sun Shi out without saying anything else, refusing to let go no matter how much she struggled.
Gan Lin watched their retreating figures before she came to her senses, and her hatred for Gan Li grew even stronger!
If she hadn't divorced Chen Danian, and if she hadn't been going to do some business, why would Chen Danian have come to inquire about some secret recipe? And how could his mother have gotten involved with Chen Danian?
Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up, pointed at Gan Li's nose, and roared:
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! You made it so that my older brother couldn't get married, so that Sister Qiao'er couldn't get married, and so that I couldn't go to school! Now, you've even caused my father and mother to divorce! You wicked devil, why don't you just die?"
The Gan family members were startled by his sudden outburst of anger, but after hearing his words, their faces darkened.
Old Man Gan said in a deep voice, "Haven't I already explained your mother's situation to you? It was your mother who acted shamelessly! What does it have to do with your aunt?"
Grandma Gan was already furious with Madam Sun today, and seeing her grandson being so clueless, she blurted out in anger:
"You're just like your unreasonable mother! It's clearly her own fault, but she blames others!"
Feeling even more aggrieved by their accusations, Gan Lin, with her neck stiff and eyes red, said:
"You're only favoring her because she can earn money now? No, that's not right, you've always favored her! If that's the case, why did you even bother marrying a daughter-in-law? Why did you even bother having a grandson? Why not just stay with this daughter?"
He roared at everyone in the Gan family, like a trapped little beast, venting his helplessness and anger.
Ganli watched coldly, her heart unmoved.
From Gan Lin's perspective, the breakdown of her parents' relationship and their divorce, which destroyed a once happy family, is indeed heartbreaking.
But he is no longer a three-year-old child. He is eleven years old this year. Gan Tian is a few months younger than him and already knows right from wrong. Yet Gan Lin tries to push all of Sun's mistakes onto others. Isn't that ridiculous?
She felt the child was ruined, but she couldn't say that herself; she could only wait and see when the Gan family realized it.
Or perhaps, if Gan Mingyi disciplines him strictly, he can change his temperament?
But to everyone's surprise, Gan Lin disappeared that very night.
