Liu Hong looked at Zhao Xuan in disbelief. It was her mother-in-law who made the decision for her when she entered the family. She never expected that her mother-in-law would support their divorce. She felt even more flustered.
"mom……"
Chen Yaohua was shocked when he heard Zhao Xuan's words. He hadn't expected that his mother would be the first to agree to his divorce. He looked at Zhao Xuan, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes, and his eyes involuntarily reddened.
Zhao Xuan reached out and touched Chen Yaohua's hair, saying gently, "Mom was wrong. Mom shouldn't have let you marry Liu Hong just to repay a debt of gratitude. We do owe the Liu family a debt of gratitude, but that doesn't mean we should sacrifice your happiness. I misunderstood before. I didn't expect Liu Hong to be like this. Over the years, Liu Hong's behavior has become more and more outrageous. Rather than letting you live in pain, it's better to get a divorce."
Upon hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Liu Hong's face turned deathly pale. She realized she might really lose Chen Yaohua. She couldn't help but regret her actions, but it was too late.
"No, I won't get a divorce. I still have Rui Rui, Rui Rui... Rui Rui..."
Liu Hong began to panic, and she shouted loudly for Chen Rui outside the door.
Chen Rui was playing marbles in the yard when he heard his mother calling him with a sob in her voice, so he ran in out of curiosity.
As soon as Chen Rui entered, Liu Hong hugged him tightly and said loudly, "Rui Rui, tell your father that we're not getting a divorce. Tell your father that you want your mother!"
"Rui Rui, if Daddy and Mommy get divorced, who will you live with?"
Chen Yaohua also squatted down and looked at Chen Rui with a serious expression.
Chen Rui was confused by his parents' questions. He looked at his father and then at his mother, not knowing what to say.
Suddenly his eyes lit up. "Dad, if I go with you, can you buy me a toy electric train? And a game console?"
After hearing Chen Rui's words, Chen Yaohua tightly closed his eyes. After a long while, he opened them and calmed himself down. He then said to Liu Hong, "Liu Hong, did you see this? Look what you've done to the child!"
After Chen Rui finished speaking, Liu Hong felt like the sky was falling. She thought that at least she still had Rui Rui, but she never expected that in the child's heart, she was not even as good as a toy.
"Yaohua, I was wrong, I will change in the future, please don't divorce me, okay?"
Liu Hong suddenly pushed Rui Rui away from her arms, then reached out and hugged Chen Yaohua's leg, crying as she spoke.
"Wow……"
Chen Rui was pushed to the ground by Liu Hong and burst into tears. Chen Yaohua pushed Liu Hong away, then picked up Chen Rui from the ground and handed her to his mother.
"Liu Hong, do you really know you were wrong? No, you don't know. You're just afraid of losing your current stable life. When you think the child can save you, you hold the child tightly in your arms. But when you think the child can't save you, you push the child down without hesitation. When you pushed the child down, did you ever think that he was just an eight-year-old child? Liu Hong, you've only ever loved yourself. Let's get a divorce. I'm tired."
Chen Yaohua's voice was calm, with a hint of weariness in it, but his eyes revealed a resolute determination.
Liu Hong shook her head desperately; she knew she had no way out. She began to apologize to everyone present, hoping to win back Chen Yaohua's heart.
"Yaohua, please give me another chance for Ruirui's sake! You don't want Ruirui to be without a mother, do you?"
Liu Hong kept crying and complaining to Chen Yaohua.
Lin Qing looked at Liu Hong, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She didn't know if Liu Hong genuinely wanted to change things, or if she was just afraid. But as Liu Hong said, the children are the ones who suffer the most from the breakdown of a family. She didn't know what Chen Yaohua would choose, but it seemed that no matter what choice he made, the children would always be hurt.
When Chen Yaohua heard Liu Hong mention the child, he was filled with conflicting emotions. He didn't believe Liu Hong would change for the better, but he also didn't want to cause harm to the child. Thinking of Rui Rui, he couldn't help but waver.
"Yaohua, why don't we give her a chance?" Liu Xiuyun suddenly said softly.
Chen Yaohua took a deep breath, remained silent for a while, and then sighed heavily. He looked at Liu Hong and said, "Fine, for the sake of the child, I'll give you one more chance, but this is the last time. If you can't change, we'll have to separate."
Upon hearing Chen Yaohua's words, a glimmer of hope flashed in Liu Hong's eyes, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Why should we do this for Rui Rui's sake?" Gu Nianqing's voice suddenly rang out.
Lin Qing turned her head and looked at Gu Nianqing with a puzzled expression. After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "Because Rui Rui will be unhappy if she doesn't have a mother."
"Why doesn't Rui Rui have a mother? Isn't her aunt right there?"
Gu Nianqing tilted her head and asked, feigning confusion.
Lin Qing didn't know what Gu Nianqing wanted to do, but still answered seriously, "Because if your second uncle and second aunt divorce, Rui Rui will be separated from his mother!"
"Then he should just stay with his second aunt!"
Gu Nianqing continued to ask.
“If he goes with your second aunt, he will be separated from your second uncle, and then he will have no father.”
Lin Qing patiently explained, suddenly becoming interested and wanting to know what this kid was up to.
"No way! He still has a father even though he lives with his second aunt! Anyway, his second uncle isn't his biological father, so he can go find his biological father!"
After Gu Nianqing finished speaking, the living room fell silent instantly. Even Lin Qing looked at Gu Nianqing in surprise. She knew that this kid had no good intentions, but she did not expect him to release such a bombshell.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hong immediately panicked, and after a moment she glared angrily at Gu Nianqing.
...
After a long while, Chen Yaohua gently pulled Gu Nianqing into his arms and then asked her seriously, "Why did you say that Rui Rui is not Second Uncle's child?"
“It was my second aunt who said it.”
Gu Nianqing replied.
"You're talking nonsense, you little brat! If you dare say another word, I'll break your legs!"
Liu Hong suddenly burst into a tirade of curses.
Who are you calling names? Try hitting me!
When Lin Qing heard Liu Hong say she wanted to break her son's legs, she was instantly displeased. She stood up, blocked Gu Nianqing's way, and said sternly to Liu Hong.
"Nianqing, can you tell your second uncle where you heard this from?"
Chen Yaohua looked at Liu Hong with his red eyes for a while before lowering his head to ask Gu Nianqing in his arms. Although he was asking Gu Nianqing, he already had the answer in his heart. He had also seen the fleeting guilty look on Liu Hong's face earlier.
