"I lied to him and told him I would come back and file a report..."
She paused, she really didn't want to talk about the facts in the middle, it was too upsetting and would affect her mood.
"······Anyway, this is the way it is. By marrying you, I can get rid of him using me as a tool, so, you know."
Looking at the girl's innocent expression that said, "This is how it is. I have a clear conscience and you can believe it or not," Zhao Jie's forehead was filled with black lines.
Jian Yuelan, who listened to the whole thing, felt that Tao Mingming was a bit pitiful for having such a father who disregarded family affection and only cared about interests.
"So, if I marry you, I have to face the problem of your father?"
"That's right."
Tao Mingming didn't feel guilty at all. Perhaps she felt that this statement was too profit-seeking, so she added, "Of course, I really want to marry you."
Zhao Jie felt that it would be better for her not to say this.
Saying it made him feel like a tool being used.
"What does your father do?"
Tao Mingming looked embarrassed and said with his head lowered, "Fire that director."
Jian Yuelan raised her eyebrows. No wonder the original text said that Tao Mingming had a good family background.
In this era, it is indeed not bad to be a director in this department.
Zhao Jie suddenly felt a toothache. He knew very well how difficult the people in this department were.
"Do you think I can do better than your dad?"
Before she could finish her words, she blurted out everything, "Why are you two doing this? We're protected just because we're married. Besides, he's not the director of the island. He has no right to bully you."
At the end, she blinked her eyes and said righteously, "Comrade Zhao, you must believe that you have the ability to protect me, and you also have the ability to make him beg you in the future."
"Let's smack him in the face together."
Jian Yuelan sighed inwardly. The relationship between Tao Mingming and her father had broken down completely.
Zhao Jie was silent. Damn it, he was definitely just a tool for Tao Mingming.
An indescribable feeling welled up in my heart: depression, helplessness... But more than that, it was the satisfaction and joy that completely filled my chest.
"We'll get the marriage certificate as soon as the report is approved. I'll protect you from now on and make sure your father doesn't use you as a tool to climb higher up the social ladder."
Tao Mingming grabbed his hand without saying a word and ran back.
"What?"
"Go find Sister Shi."
"Uh, isn't it a bad idea to do this late at night?"
"Do you still want to get married?"
"think!"
"Then stop talking nonsense..."
The footsteps were getting farther and farther away. Jian Yuelan was very satisfied after eating the whole melon. Very good. With Zhao Jie's intervention, Tao Mingming's fate had changed.
It's a good thing that she won't end up like in the original story.
