"An Lan, what happened?" Jin Zijun asked on the phone, "Is there any problem in your relationship with Jin Feng?"
Qiao Anlan's eyes were slightly red. "Dad, I was wrong about this from the beginning. Back then, in order to get Jin Feng to marry me, I asked you to find a way to break up Jin Feng and Chen Bilan. I thought that if I gave birth to two children for Jin Feng and took good care of the family for him, he would truly fall in love with me."
"Over the years, we have always treated each other with respect. He has indeed been very good to me and has always treated me as his dearest one. But only now do I realize that I have never entered his heart. I never have."
As he spoke, Qiao Anlan's voice choked.
"An Lan." Jin Zijun sighed on the other end of the phone: "You just said that you and Jin Feng are already the closest relatives. So how can you give up this relationship that you have worked so hard to maintain until now?"
Qiao Anlan smiled bitterly, "Dad, I've been possessing Jin Feng for fifteen years. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have forced Chen Bilan to leave Jin Feng, and Jin Feng wouldn't have regretted it for the rest of his life. One day, Jin Feng will know the truth behind the matter. Instead of letting him hate me for the rest of his life, it's better to let go sooner rather than later."
"So An Lan, what are you going to do?" Jin Zijun asked back.
"dad."
Qiao Anlan sighed softly: "I have thought about it. I am going to divorce Jin Feng. As for the custody of the children, I will respect their opinions. If they are willing to follow Jin Feng, I will let the children stay."
"An Lan, you haven't asked Jin Feng's opinion on this matter. What if he doesn't want to divorce you?" Jin Zijun advised: "Otherwise, let's wait until Jin Feng comes home."
Qiao Anlan: "Dad, I've been thinking about this for a long time. If Jin Feng really wants to take his daughter home, I hope she goes home happily. I don't want to be a stepmother. This is the last little thing I can do for Chen Bilan."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Anlan realized that his daughter Jin Jinxuan had been standing at the door of the study.
Jin Jinxuan looked at Qiao Anlan with tears in her eyes: "Mom, do you want to divorce Dad?"
Qiao Anlan nodded helplessly: "Yes, Jinxuan, I want to divorce your father."
Jin Jinxuan rushed over and hugged Qiao Anlan: "Mom, please don't divorce Dad, okay? I don't want you to get divorced."
"I'm sorry, Jinxuan." Qiao Anlan gently touched Jin Jinxuan's hair. "It's Mom's fault. It was Mom who insisted on breaking up your father and his beloved woman. If your father knew the truth, he would hate me for the rest of his life."
"But if you don't tell me, Dad will never know the truth, right?" Jin Jinxuan asked while looking up and crying.
Qiao Anlan sighed, "Your grandfather has endured a lot for me. Now your father blames him in his heart, but in fact, it was your mother who fell in love with your father and that's why she went to beg your grandfather. Jinxuan, this is the responsibility that your mother should bear."
"But mom, I don't want to grow up in a broken family." Jin Jinxuan cried even more sadly: "My good friend's parents are divorced, and she is unhappy every day. Can you bear to see me unhappy?"
"Silly child."
Qiao Anlan stroked Jin Jinxuan's hair and tried to keep smiling. "Although Mom and Dad are divorced, Mom and Dad will still love you. We will always be your parents and will never abandon you and your brother. We will not miss any important moments in your lives."
"No! I don't agree!"
At the door of the study, an unhappy male voice suddenly rang out: "Mom, why do you have to give up your position for a mistress? And that mistress is already dead. Even if Dad insists on taking the mistress's daughter home, my sister and I will naturally find a way to kick her out!"
"Cheng Yu."
Qiao Anlan quickly let go of Jin Jinxuan in her arms, walked up to Jin Chengyu, frowned and explained, "Your Aunt Chen is not the mistress. If you must say who is the mistress, the mistress is actually me. It was me who fell in love with your father at first sight. After returning to Xicheng, it was me who asked your grandfather to break up your father and Aunt Chen. It was me who forced a couple in love to separate."
Jin Chengyu said unconvincedly: "That's because they are not destined to be together. What does it have to do with you, Mom?!"
"child."
Qiao Anlan told him solemnly, "Mom stole your love first, causing your dad a lifetime of regret. This is an eternal pain in your dad's heart, and it hurts me too. Promise Mom not to go after your sister. Not only did she lose her mother when she was young, she also wandered away for sixteen years. Now that she's finally found her father, we should give her warmth, not be hostile to her. Do you understand?"
Jin Chengyu was still dissatisfied: "I only know that the appearance of this girl broke my originally happy family. I only know that it was her appearance that caused my mom and dad to divorce!"
"Cheng Yu."
Qiao Anlan's brows knitted tightly together. "I know you're filial, and I know you want the best for Mom and Dad. I also know that even if your dad knew the truth, he wouldn't really blame me, but he would be even sadder and more guilty. When he sees me, he'll think of that painful past. Cheng Yu, this isn't what Mom wants to see, do you understand?"
"Besides, your father's daughter who is away from home is also your biological sister. A family should live in harmony, right? So Cheng Yu, you must promise mom that you will get along well with this future sister, okay?!"
The woman said, and then added seriously: "This is my only request. I just hope you will agree to it, okay?"
Although Jin Chengyu was very unconvinced, he finally nodded when he saw his mother's eyes full of expectation: "Okay, I promise you."
"Good boy."
Qiao Anlan immediately hugged Jin Chengyu into her arms: "Although your father has a very powerful underworld influence, he has always been kind-hearted. So when you grow up, you must be like your father and be a real man. Don't be afraid when you encounter bad people, and don't be timid when you encounter others making trouble. But no matter what, we must persist in having a kind heart and a conscience. Do you understand?"
…
In the hunting ground.
Ran Xia had just calmed down the two pairs of mother and child when she discovered that something outside the cage was crawling into the cage.
The girl turned her head suddenly and saw poisonous snakes crawling into the iron cage.
"snake!"
A woman, seeing a swarm of venomous snakes approaching, was so frightened that she immediately hugged her child and said, "What should we do? There are snakes. We are dead!"
