"mom·····"
Qiao Chen didn't dare to look at Qiao Xiufen even once, and stammered, unable to speak.
Duan Sisi interrupted with a cold laugh: "Can't you understand the words 'low sperm count' and 'asthenia gravis'? I only didn't say it out of consideration for your Qiao family's reputation. The one who is truly infertile is your son!"
This cruel reality was unacceptable to Qiao Xiufen, and she roared, "Shut up! Who gives you the right to speak here?!"
"Why should I shut up!"
Duan Sisi tilted her chin up as if she wanted to look at Qiao Xiufen with her nose in her mouth.
She pointed to her feet, "Please get this straight! This is my home! My name is on the property certificate!"
Qiao Chen: "Duan Sisi, haven't you made enough of a scene?!"
After he finished roaring, he took a deep breath, and his expression softened.
"Sisi, it's all my fault. If you're angry, take it out on me. Don't yell at my mom here. She's an elder."
"She still knows she's an elder!" Duan Sisi sneered. "When she threw my cat away, didn't she think about her status as an elder? When she forced me to take medicine and controlled my normal life, didn't she think about her status as an elder? When she gave me attitude, didn't she think about her status as an elder?"
"Duan Sisi!" Qiao Chen roared again, his voice filled with barely suppressed rage.
Duan Sisi's expression was surprisingly calm. "Qiao Chen, you don't need to yell anymore. My parents gave me this name, not for you to yell at."
She walked slowly to Qiao Chen and said, "I really thank you. Today I've seen through you and your mother completely. Of all the nonsense you said today, there was one thing you actually said that was right."
"You, Qiao Chen!" Duan Sisi poked Qiao Chen's chest. "You're just trying to climb up to my family! What kind of men haven't I had around me? How could I be so blind as to fall for you! I'm giving you three days to get out of my house and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for a divorce!"
Sisi practically roared out the word "divorce".
After she shouted, she didn't give Qiao Chen a chance to react at all, turned around, slammed the door, and left.
Seeing that things had developed to this point, Qiao Xiufen became anxious and quickly grabbed Qiao Chen's arm, pushing him towards the door.
"Go and win her back! They were just saying things in the heat of the moment. What could they be thinking that would lead them to divorce?"
Qiao Xiufen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but Qiao Chen remained motionless, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Mom, I was wrong. We're from completely different worlds. It's better that we're divorced."
He said that, turned around and went into the room, slamming the bedroom door shut with a loud bang.
Qiao Xiufen didn't care about anything else and chased after her herself. She ran and chased, almost losing her slippers, but still couldn't catch up with Duan Sisi.
She watched helplessly as Duan Sisi's car sped past her without any intention of stopping.
Qiao Xiufen wore a miserable expression, slapped her thigh, and cried out, "That Sisi is so unreasonable! I chased after her, but she still insisted on leaving. It's definitely a divorce!"
Duan Sisi drove while crying, her eyes blurred with tears, making it impossible for her to see the road ahead.
If it weren't for the fact that there are almost no cars on the road at this time, she would definitely have had an accident on the road.
She ran all the way home in her slippers.
When Duan Jingwei heard the knocking, he opened the door and saw his beloved daughter standing there, wearing slippers and crying her eyes out.
"Sisi?! Why did you come back so late all alone? Where's Qiao Chen?"
As he pulled Duan Sisi into the house, he turned his head to look outside the door, trying to find Qiao Chen.
Upon hearing Duan Jingwei's words, Geng Ling rushed out without even bothering to apply her skincare products.
"Sisi, why did you come back by yourself in the middle of the night?"
When Duan Sisi saw her parents' concerned faces and then remembered Qiao Chen and Qiao Xiufen's bullying faces, she couldn't bear the grievances any longer and poured them all out.
"mom!"
She cried and buried her face in Geng Ling's arms.
Geng Ling was jolted by the impact, and when she heard the woman's aggrieved wailing, her heart ached terribly.
When Duan Jingwei saw Duan Sisi crying, he also became anxious.
"Sisi, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell Dad, and Dad will get revenge for you!"
Geng Ling shoved him and said irritably, "Do you even need to ask? It's so late, who could be bullying our Sisi? It must be the Qiao family mother and son!"
She got angrier and angrier as she talked, bringing up old grievances from the dinner table.
"At the dinner table, I could see that Qiao Xiufen was really tormenting our Sisi! Qiao Chen, a grown man, was like a mute. It's one thing that he didn't protect his wife, but he even sided with his mother! And this was in front of us; if it weren't for us, who knows how much he would bully Sisi!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Jingwei's anger flared up instantly, and he rolled up his sleeves, ready to head outside.
"They dare to bully my daughter, Duan Jingwei! I'll show them what I'm capable of!"
Hearing the sound of shoes being put on, Duan Sisi quickly got up to stop them.
"Dad, don't go!"
Geng Ling comforted her, "Daughter, don't be afraid, you still have your parents! Your parents will stand up for you! Let's go find their family together!"
Duan Sisi didn't know what to say to persuade her, so she cried and mumbled, "Don't go."
When Duan Jingwei saw her like this, his heart melted, and he lost all his anger. He coaxed her gently, "Okay, okay, we won't go, we won't go."
He led Duan Sisi to sit on the sofa, patting her back to help her catch her breath while giving Geng Ling a look, signaling her to get her a glass of water.
"Good girl, Dad promises you, I won't go looking for them. But can you tell Dad what happened?"
After pouring the water, Geng Ling chimed in, "Sisi, you should explain to your parents how they bullied you."
Duan Sisi cried until her mouth was dry. She finished a glass of water and, after calming down, she recounted what had happened that night in fits and starts.
"His mother not only threw away my cat, whom I'd raised for eight years, but also blamed me for not being able to have children and gave me attitude. Qiao Chen not only didn't speak up for me, he also... he also..."
Duan Sisi couldn't continue speaking; her eyes were blurred with tears again.
What did he do to you? Did he hit you?
Geng Ling nervously checked Duan Sisi from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Duan Sisi was unharmed.
Duan Sisi took a deep breath before finishing her sentence: "He said I wasn't chaste and didn't act like a complete woman when I was with him."
Upon hearing this, Duan Jingwei slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"That little brat Qiao Chen! I married my precious daughter, whom I've cherished for so many years, to him, and he actually said such outrageous things! I'll beat him to death!"
Seeing Duan Jingwei walking out in a fit of rage, Geng Ling was afraid something might happen, so she quickly stopped him.
"Alright, whatever it is, we can talk to them tomorrow. We're in the right. Let's see how far those two will go!"
