After enduring for half a month and collecting enough evidence of Li Qian's abuse, Chen Xia dropped a bombshell on her: "Since you get angry just looking at me, I'll leave. My dad is coming over today and I'll be staying at his place for a while."
Li Qian was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses and unleashed a torrent of abuse on Chen Xia: "Chen Xia, you heartless ingrate, how could you contact that bastard Chen Lihui behind my back?"
Do you have any conscience? All these years I've given birth to you, raised you, scrimped and saved to send you to school, and this is how you treat me? If I'd known you were as heartless as your father, I should have strangled you the moment you were born..."
Chen Xia interrupted her: "Do you think I care about being born to you? Did you ask for my opinion when you gave birth to me and raised me? If time could turn back, if I had a choice, I would rather be an orphan and go to an orphanage than have a suffocating biological mother like you."
I seriously doubt whether you are really my mother. Other people's mothers are gentle and considerate. When their children encounter difficulties, they always give unconditional support and encouragement.
And you? You're always hysterical, always suppressing me, controlling me, and insulting me. I'm a person, not a tool for you to show off, vent your frustrations, or take your anger out on.
I have flesh and blood; I feel pain too. If you didn't like me, why didn't you let my father raise me in the first place? Don't tell me lies about my father not wanting me.
"It was you who told him that if my dad fought for custody, you would take me with you and die, that's why he gave up."
Li Qian broke down and shouted, "And who am I doing this for? Haven't you heard the saying, 'It's better to follow a beggar mother than a high-ranking official father'? If you follow your father, you'll have to live under your stepmother's thumb. I'm your biological mother, would I harm you? I won't allow you to see your father unless I'm dead."
Chen Xia chuckled: "For my own good? You're just fooling yourself. Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
I've simply been placed under your custody, not severed ties with my father. The blood ties between my father and me will never be broken. My father has the right to visit me at any time, and no one can stop him, including you.
You can scare my dad with your death, but you can't scare me. Haven't I always said I owe you a life? I'll give it back! I'd rather die than be controlled by you like a puppet for the rest of my life.
Chen Xia was fairly confident about her chances of being admitted to Beihang University. It was a thorn in the original owner's heart; she had searched for Beihang's admission information online countless times and dreamt of studying there.
The acceptance letter wouldn't arrive for another month, and given Li Qian's erratic temper, Chen Xia didn't think she could tolerate her for a whole summer.
She got the phone number of her scumbag father, Chen Lihui, who was doing business in the provincial capital from a relative, called him, and told him in detail what kind of life the original owner had lived with Li Qian all these years.
She highlighted her college entrance exam score, the universities she could apply to, and the schools Li Qian wanted to force her to apply to.
She told him that she was saying goodbye, that her life was bleak and hopeless, that she had been forced to work hard for so many years, only to end up with nothing. She didn't know what the point of living was anymore, and perhaps only death could allow her to escape Li Qian's clutches.
After Chen Xia tearfully recounted to Chen Lihui the details of what the original owner had lived with Li Qian all these years,
He instantly recalled the pain of being dominated by Li Qian over the years, and his empathy reached its peak at this moment, and his anger also erupted completely at this moment.
When Chen Lihui divorced, he left with nothing, leaving the house he bought before the marriage and all the savings the couple had accumulated during the marriage to Li Qian, just so that the original owner could live a life of comfort with Li Qian.
For the sake of their child's healthy development, Li Qian refused to let him see the child, and he tolerated it. She said she wanted a divorce because of his infidelity, and he tolerated that too. But now, the child is being raised by Li Qian to the point of wanting to commit suicide. If he continues to tolerate this, he'll truly be a Ninja Turtle.
He divorced Li Qian for two reasons: first, their relationship had broken down, and second, he had offended a spoiled rich kid at work and was ostracized, leading him to quit his job in anger.
Li Qian felt that he shouldn't have resigned from his public office on a whim. He felt that rather than sitting on the sidelines at his workplace earning a meager fixed salary, he should resign and try his luck in a big city.
Even at its worst, it still has more development potential than a small county town. If he really did cheat on her, as Li Qian said, and divorced her for her pregnant mistress, then why did he remarry three years later? And why is his youngest son five years younger than his daughter Xiaxia?
Over the years, Chen Lihui's business in the provincial capital had flourished, and he had accumulated wealth and connections. After consulting with a lawyer he knew well, he decided to sue Li Qian to gain custody of Chen Xia.
He knew Li Qian's temperament quite well; there was no way to reason with her. And don't expect her to come to her senses on her own. After so many years with her, Chen Lihui was all too familiar with her controlling nature.
If he hadn't offended that spoiled brat and been forced to resign, Li Qian, who cared a lot about her reputation, wouldn't have agreed to his proposal for a divorce.
He wished he hadn't divorced her; he'd escaped his misery, but he'd ruined his daughter's life. He knows it's too late now; his daughter is asking for his help not because she has any affection for him as an irresponsible father, but because she's truly desperate. All he can do now is make amends, make amends as much as possible.
No matter how much Li Qian yelled and threatened, Chen Xia still left with Chen Lihui without hesitation. If she weren't only sixteen years old and not yet an adult, she wouldn't even need to ask her father, Chen Lihui, for help; she could have left on her own.
The original owner might still have a romanticized view of Chen Lihui, her biological father, but Chen Xia didn't. Regardless of Chen Lihui's reasons, it's a fact that he ignored the original owner for so many years after the divorce.
However, it must be said that compared to the neurotic and extremely controlling Li Qian, Chen Lihui actually became a good father, at least he could give Chen Xia the utmost respect. Afraid of upsetting Chen Xia, he didn't take her back to his current home, but instead rented her a fully furnished apartment. Seeing that Chen Xia didn't even have a cell phone, he directly bought her the three essentials for college students: a laptop, a tablet, and a cell phone, and chose the most expensive domestic brand on the market.
In addition, he opened a bank account for Chen Xia, transferred the living expenses he had been saving for her since the divorce to the account, and then transferred another 100,000 yuan into it, saying it was to celebrate her good results in the college entrance examination.
Chen Xia took the card: "Dad, you don't need to be so careful when you talk to me. I'm not that sensitive. I've lived with someone like Mom for over ten years. If I were sensitive, I would have been reincarnated countless times by now. Before the deadline for college applications, I changed my application back. I want to study in Beijing. I want to take control of my own life."
Countless past experiences have taught me that if I compromise this time, then next time she will control my job, then my marriage, and finally whether or not I have children, and how many children I have, will all be up to her.
I don't want to be a puppet forever. I used to still have illusions about her, thinking that even if her methods were a bit radical, her purpose was to help me study hard. But this time, her changing my college application made me see her true colors completely, and I no longer have any illusions about her.
Chen Lihui turned his head and wiped away his tears: "It was Dad's fault, Xiaxia. Don't worry, Dad will do everything in his power to help you get rid of Li Qian and live the life you want."
Li Qian was unwilling to simply hand over Chen Xia, whom she had raised for over a decade, to Chen Lihui. She went to Chen Lihui's company in the provincial capital and made a scene, demanding that he hand over Chen Xia. After Chen Lihui refused, she called the police, claiming that her daughter was missing and that she suspected her ex-husband had killed her.
After receiving the report, the police officers in the neighborhood quickly responded to the scene. After understanding the truth of the matter, they criticized and educated Li Qian, telling her that although Chen Xia was not yet an adult, she was already sixteen years old and had the right to choose who she lived with.
As Chen Xia's father, Chen Lihui also has legal guardianship rights. Li Qian's act of making a false police report was highly inappropriate and has already interfered with Chen Lihui's life and work. If she continues to make trouble like this, she will face legal sanctions.
After being criticized and educated by the police, Li Qian, though unwilling, could only temporarily give up. Chen Xia's resolute decision made Li Qian realize that Chen Xia was no longer the child she could manipulate; she had grown up, her wings had hardened, and she wanted to break free from her control, which Li Qian would absolutely not allow.
Only then did Li Qian realize her mistake and begin to reflect. However, what she regretted was that she hadn't been strict enough, allowing Chen Xia to take advantage of the situation and contact Chen Lihui.
Chen Lihui filed a lawsuit against Li Qian, alleging long-term abuse, psychological control, and suppression of his daughter Chen Xia, and demanded a change in guardianship of Chen Xia.
In court, Chen Lihui's lawyer presented the judge with evidence including Chen Xia's psychological diagnosis certificate, testimonies from school teachers, statements from neighbors, recordings collected by Chen Xia herself, and the original owner's diary. This evidence clearly demonstrated Li Qian's psychological abuse and control over Chen Xia, resulting in severe psychological trauma and a long-term repressed lifestyle.
"Judge, Li Qian's behavior has seriously violated the provisions of the Law on the Protection of Minors, which stipulates that guardians should respect the physical and mental health development of minors and prohibits the abuse and control of minors."
Under prolonged psychological suppression and control, Chen Xia has developed obvious symptoms of anxiety and depression, and has even contemplated suicide. As a teenager approaching adulthood, Chen Xia has the right to choose her own living environment.
As a father, Chen Lihui has the ability and willingness to provide Chen Xia with a healthy and free environment to grow up in. He hopes that the presiding judge will fully consider Chen Xia's wishes, change Chen Xia's guardianship, and order Li Qian not to interfere with Chen Xia's life in the future.
