Little Fish's face lit up with surprise, "My grandparents really took my dad in?"
“Before the divorce, they refused to let him stay. After your father and I got divorced, they still wouldn’t let him stay, so he had nowhere to go. It’s unreasonable and unfair. Your father went back this afternoon. It’s okay for your mother to suffer for your sake.” Dong Yun’s words touched her daughter and made her feel sorry for her sacrifice.
"Then I'll go there now. I can't stand that lousy school for even a day longer!" Xiaoyuer clapped her hands excitedly and immediately started packing her things. There was no heartache or emotion in her eyes, only longing for a better life.
Dong Yun quickly stopped Xiaoyuer, "Wait a minute, your dad said he'll let you go over once he's settled in."
"Why wait? What's there to settle down for? I'll go with him. I'm a member of the Li family too." Xiaoyuer is eager to go back to the Li family. She can eat and live well there, and her grandparents have money. Even if she doesn't go back to an international school, she can definitely get into a better school. She won't lack pocket money anymore.
She looked at Dong Yun suspiciously, "You don't have custody of me, do you?"
Dong Yun felt a little guilty. "It doesn't matter who it is. Your father and I only have you as our child."
Hearing this, Xiaoyuer understood everything. "Why do you want custody of me? Why not give it to my dad? You don't have a job, and your family is poor. You can't help me with anything. If you want custody, can you afford to support me? Do you want me to go begging with you?"
"Baby, don't get upset. You're your dad's only child. Whether he has custody or not, he'll still take care of you. It's all the same," Dong Yun quickly reassured Xiaoyuer.
“How could it be the same? Custody is with my dad. I can go home with him now and I won’t have to live in this lousy place anymore.” Xiaoyuer clenched her fists and glared fiercely at Dong Yun.
“Your dad said he’ll pick you up once you’re settled. Just wait a bit. He won’t abandon you.” Dong Yun tried to take Xiaoyuer’s hand, but Xiaoyuer dodged away.
"Did my dad refuse to have custody of me, or did you fight for it?" Xiaoyuer panicked. Her dad hated her mom to death. She thought her dad would continue to live with Dong Yun for her sake. In fact, she hoped that the two of them would get a divorce so that she could go back to her grandparents' house with Li Xingguo.
Dong Yun could tell her daughter didn't want to be with her, and her face showed unease. "I fought for it. Your father wanted it too, but seeing how much I've sacrificed for you, he didn't fight me. But your father and I have discussed it, and we will still love you as before. We won't neglect you because of the divorce. Don't worry, your father is settled, and he will definitely take you over."
"You have no money and don't work, so what do you want my custody for? If my grandparents find out, they'll think I don't want to acknowledge them anymore. Can't you think about me? How can you be so selfish? You can't stand to see me doing well, can you?" Li Xingguo also has no money and will rely on his grandparents when he goes back. Now that she doesn't have custody with Li Xingguo, do you think her grandparents will be willing to raise her? Her mother is really something, she's just a burden.
Dong Yun's eyes reddened. "Baby, how could you say that? You've really hurt my heart. If you don't want to be with me, I'll call your dad tomorrow and change the custody back."
Little Fish immediately nodded, "Let's change it back. I'll be perfectly justified in sticking with my dad, so my grandparents won't refuse to support me. I'm also worried that your divorce will be for nothing."
Dong Yun wiped her eyes and said, "Okay, when you transfer schools, I'll rent a place near the school and stay with you."
Little Fish... why are you guarding her? If she goes back to the Li family, her grandparents definitely won't want her to contact Dong Yun anymore. Why are you guarding her near the school? Aren't you just making things difficult for her?
She waved her hand impatiently, "Call my dad right now and get the custody back."
Dong Yun felt terrible. Her daughter hadn't said a word of concern for her, only expressed her dissatisfaction. She sobbed twice and took out her phone to call Li Xingguo.
Little Fish sat beside him, watching longingly, hoping her father would immediately let her go back to the Li family.
