"You silly child, such a big thing happened and you didn't tell me anything. How can I be at ease?"
"The Han family may be well-off, but our family doesn't care about anything. What Han Minjia did today was really too much."
"This matter cannot be left like this. If we go back now, they will only escalate their actions in the future."
"And if anything like this happens again, or if you encounter any trouble, be sure to come back and tell me. Don't keep everything bottled up inside, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao's pent-up resentment finally erupted, and he began to cry loudly.
"Mom, at first, I thought Han Zhichao had been good to me, and I really didn't want to make things difficult for him, but I didn't expect things to get worse now."
“Now I finally understand and know that forbearance and tolerance will not make people understand; on the contrary, people will still think that this is all expected,” Wang Zhao said, crying.
"Silly child, we're not after anything. Your father and I just want you two to be well."
"Don't go back to him today. Think carefully about your future together. This is no small matter. It's very difficult for people to change. I don't need to teach you this principle."
“Mom, but I can’t bear to part with Zhichao. He’s been very good to me. It’s just that his mother has gone too far. Many people saw it today, and the neighbors are laughing at us. I feel so bad,” Wang Zhao said reluctantly.
"Since you can't bear to part with it, then you have to change. You can't keep being bullied. You need to understand that."
“Your father and I would never agree to let you continue to suffer. You don’t care about yourself, but I, as your mother, do care about my daughter,” Wang Zhao’s mother said.
"Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you on this matter," Wang Zhao said.
"By the way, Xiao Zhao, I've heard a lot of gossip lately, saying that you and that Guo family's daughter don't get along."
"I heard it from your Aunt Liu, is it true?"
"People always compare me to her, and it makes me unhappy."
"And Han Zhichao's mother always implies that I am not as good as others, how can I be happy about that?"
“What does it have to do with you? It’s their business if they’re doing well. You just need to mind your own business,” Wang Zhao’s mother said.
“You need to relax. Otherwise, look at your mother-in-law, she’s always comparing herself to Xiao Jing from the Zhou family. Don’t you think that’s exhausting?”
"There's no need. Mom has been through this before, this is nothing to me. You need to think this through, do you hear me?"
"What was once a good life has now become a laughing stock among the neighbors. Do you think this is a good thing?"
"Mom, I know, don't worry, I was just overthinking it."
“If Zhichao doesn’t separate the family this time, I will seriously consider our relationship. Mom, you’re right, I can’t continue like this.”
After Wang Zhao figured things out, he felt much better and regained his initial confidence.
Han Zhichao and his father-in-law went to the study, and the two remained silent the entire time.
At first, Han Zhichao wanted to say something, but when he heard his wife crying, he fell silent.
"Shichika, what are you thinking?"
"This matter can't be taken lightly. You're already married to Xiao Zhao; shouldn't you be thinking about your future together?"
“After hearing what Xiao Zhao told me about these things today, I, as his father, am definitely heartbroken.”
“Dad, this is our family’s fault. I’m here to pick up Xiao Zhao,” Han Zhichao said.
"I was very worried about her on the way here."
"I will give her an explanation for this matter. I still want to live a good life with Xiao Zhao."
"Then tell me, what are you planning to do this time? I think it's better to separate the family."
"When you're together, there are bound to be more conflicts. When you separate, you'll naturally remember the good things about the other person, and all you'll see now are their problems."
"Also, you're very busy with work. Do you think it's good for you to deal with these trivial matters when you get home?"
"If your mind is filled with family matters, how can you possibly improve?"
"I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but you still need to consider these things."
“Think about it carefully yourself, and see if what I said is right?” Wang Zhao’s father asked.
Han Zhichao thought about it after hearing this and felt that it made sense, so he nodded in the end.
“You’ve come all this way so late at night, and you probably haven’t eaten yet. Xiao Zhao cried for a long time after he came back, so we didn’t feel like eating either.”
"Zhichao, you're here too. Have a good chat with Xiaozhao first. We can talk about the rest after we finish eating."
Han Zhichao originally wanted to go home to check on his mother, but since his father-in-law had said so, he couldn't be ungrateful.
The two of them came out of the study, and Wang Zhao's emotions had stabilized; he stopped crying.
"Let's eat, honey. Let's give them some space, have a good chat, and make things clear."
Han Zhichao knew that this was an opportunity given to him by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he went directly to Wang Zhao and thought for a long time before speaking.
“Honey, I heard Aunt Gao from next door talking about this. You’ve been wronged.”
"You don't need to compare yourself to Guo Jinyou. I will work harder to make your life better and I won't let you suffer any injustice."
"My mom was really upset by the Zhou family this time. Don't take it to heart. Just think of it as her doing it for my sake."
“I’ve thought about this a lot and talked to my dad a lot. I’ve figured it out. When I go back this time, I’ll bring up the issue of separating the family.”
"I didn't think things through before, and I also bear some responsibility for this. Honey, I'm sorry you had to suffer."
Wang Zhao and Han Zhichao still had a strong bond, so seeing his apologetic expression, Wang Zhao forgave him.
However, she also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Han Zhichao, but hearing his promise made her both happy and satisfied.
"Alright, alright, I forgive you. Don't forget what you said," Wang Zhao said.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll handle this."
The two embraced, and Wang Zhao's parents were relieved to see them reconcile.
"Mom and Dad, I have to go home after I finish eating. I need to talk to you about this. Xiao Zhao, will you come back with me?"
“I won’t go back yet. I’ll go back after some time,” Wang Zhao said.
“Okay, let me find a place first, then it’s settled,” Han Zhichao said.
“Okay, as your parents, we agree. We didn’t misjudge you. Let’s eat, everyone eat,” said Mr. Wang.
