...
"Xiao Shu, what's wrong with you..."
At the Chen family home, Chen Changqing was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper after dinner. Zhang Hua, ever since becoming Chen's third wife, had never forgotten to make her presence felt in front of Chen Changqing, even though she knew perfectly well that he didn't have feelings for her.
Still unwilling to give up on becoming the real Mrs. Chen, she sat on the sofa opposite Chen Changqing. Inadvertently, she looked up at the living room door and saw Chen Shu crying as she walked into the house. She couldn't help but feel puzzled.
However, she opened her mouth, but only said half of what she meant before turning her gaze to Chen Changqing.
"Mom doesn't want me to come back, Mom?"
Chen Shu walked into the living room, tears streaming down her face, and stared intently at Zhang Hua: "This is my home. I can come back whenever I want, and no one can stop me from entering."
I didn't mean that.
She just blurted out, wanting to ask, "Why are you back now?"
It's not that I don't want her to come into this house. Besides, has that brat forgotten who her father was?
If you haven't forgotten, why didn't you use your brain and say those hurtful things to her?
Chen Changqing ignored the lawsuit between Zhang Hua and Chen Shu. He really couldn't bring himself to like his daughter Chen Shu. So, he casually folded the newspaper and put it back on the coffee table, then got up and walked towards the stairwell, intending to go upstairs to his study for a while.
"dad!"
Seeing Chen Changqing about to leave, Chen Shu cried out, her voice trembling with tears, "Are you really planning to disown me as your daughter?"
"I have already said it, and I will not change it."
Chen Changqing glanced at Chen Shu indifferently and then stepped onto the stairs.
"How cruel you are! All I did was make a mistake regarding Xiao Yu, yet you and Grandpa are fixated on this one mistake and have declared that I am no longer a part of the Chen family. Do you think an outsider is more important than me?"
Tears streamed down her face as Chen Shu cried out in despair, "I'm your daughter, Grandpa's granddaughter! Can't you show me more tolerance and tenderness?"
"Do you only acknowledge me as part of this family after you've seen me suffer in the countryside with Xiao Yu and his family?"
Chen Changqing did not stop or turn around; he had already reached the middle of the stairs.
"Dad...do you really not care about me anymore? I've been wronged in the Wang family, are you just going to let me be bullied?"
Wang Junchi yelled at me because I told him that Wang Jingjing had taken the man I didn't want, and he then shouted at me...
But I wasn't wrong. Wang Jingjing really wanted to take the man I didn't want and be the stepmother of the little brat she gave birth to. Dad... how can she be so shameless?
Knowing full well about my relationship with Xiao Yu, even though we're divorced, and he's still my ex-husband, did Wang Jingjing ever consider my feelings when she wanted to be with him?
Chen Changqing stopped at the top of the stairs on the second floor. He turned around and looked down, or more accurately, locked his gaze on Chen Shu, but his deep eyes made it impossible to discern any emotion in him.
"Divorce means that the husband and wife no longer have any relationship, and that they are independent individuals. You have the right to choose to remarry, and your ex-husband also has the right to choose to remarry. As for your current husband's older sister..."
She's unmarried, and it's her right to like whomever she wants. Even if she's with Xiao Yu, it only means they like each other. Why do you portray that as her picking up a man you didn't want?
With a cold expression, Chen Changqing continued, "Chen Shu, do you think too highly of yourself and consider Xiao Yu to be nothing more than mud on the ground, or are you unwilling to accept that your husband's eldest sister and Xiao Yu are mutually attracted, and thus intentionally humiliate the other party while trampling on Xiao Yu's dignity?"
Chen Shu felt guilty. Her lips twitched as if she wanted to say something, but she heard Chen Changqing say again, "I've said before that I'm very disappointed in you. I even doubted that you were a child of my Chen family. Otherwise, how could my Chen family have produced such a girl with bad character, selfishness, and shamelessness?"
When Chen Changqing said, "I once doubted that you were not a child of my Chen family," Chen Shu and Zhang Hua both stiffened and felt their blood run cold.
However, neither of them showed any obvious abnormality in their facial expressions.
Chen Changqing said that on purpose, with the simple goal of observing whether Zhang Hua and Chen Shu had any emotional changes. Unexpectedly, the result disappointed him greatly.
But this did not dispel his suspicions about Chen Shu's background.
reason?
Chen Shu's words and actions were really unlike those of a child from the Chen family.
This was not Chen Changqing's unfounded speculation, nor was it because Chen Changqing heard his eldest son Chen Dongsheng's doubts and thus questioned Chen Shu's background. It was his confidence in the Chen family bloodline, coupled with Chen Dongsheng's explanation, that made him think more.
Take Chen Dongxu for example. In Chen Changqing's mind, his second son Chen Dongxu was playful and disliked studying since childhood. But even if he was a scoundrel, he was good at heart. He had no bad intentions and would never dare to do anything that would break the law.
Therefore, when he learned that his second son had his legs broken by a group of thugs, he did not suspect at all that his own son had caused trouble first, which led to such a disaster for him... He only felt heartache and anger.
She was heartbroken that her son had been crippled and was extremely angry at the person who had crippled him.
As for Chen Shu... his daughter, she forced him to marry because she liked him, and when that failed, she asked her elders for help.
After getting what she wanted, instead of nurturing the relationship between husband and wife, she used other means to get pregnant again... Upon learning of the changes in her husband's family, she disregarded the fact that the child had only been born for a short time and, in order to avoid suffering herself, displayed selfishness to the fullest extent.
—Hunger strike and wrist-cutting, all for the sake of divorce.
In the end, the old man stepped in and resolved the matter.
Unexpectedly, not long after, the rice was cooked into a meal.
