Watching the two fighting, Su Nianxue suddenly felt an unprecedented exhaustion.
So-called family affection is nothing but a deception.
She seems to have lost the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
"Alright, stop fighting, let's leave it at that." She rubbed her throbbing temples, feeling really exhausted.
“Nianxue…” Han Jingru wiped away her tears, “It’s all my fault. If only I had come back and asked you myself back then.”
Lin Tiancheng sighed softly, though he had anticipated this outcome when he was with the Gu family.
Seeing it with my own eyes, I still felt angry and regretful.
When adults compete with each other, it is ultimately the children who suffer the most.
It's just a pity that Nianxue is such a good girl.
But what's done is done, and saying anything more won't change anything.
He took a handkerchief from his pocket and silently handed it to Han Jingru.
"Tiancheng, it's all my fault, I deserve to die."
Why didn't I come back to see her and ask her in person? Han Mengjuan covered her face with a handkerchief and sobbed uncontrollably.
Lin Tiancheng knew the reason for this; she really couldn't leave before.
As for what happened later... I was afraid and didn't know how to face her.
You know, all those letters she wrote over the years have gone unanswered.
She instinctively felt that Su Nianxue wouldn't want to see her, her mother.
She was somewhat afraid to face her.
It was only after he and Xiaoxue kept encouraging her that she mustered up the courage to come.
"Su Jianguo, you're not a real man. I despise you." Lin Tiancheng said his first words since entering the room.
Why involve children in adult matters?
Even if Jingru divorces you, Nianxue is still her daughter.
This point cannot be denied, no matter where you go.
Why are you so determined to prevent the mother and daughter from communicating?
You have no class at all!
"What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere in our family affairs?" Su Jianguo's old, drooping eyes were now filled with anger.
“I’m not an outsider. I’m Jingru’s husband and Nianxue’s stepfather. It’s not wrong for me to say a few fair words for them.”
Lin Tiancheng stood ramrod straight, looking at him coldly with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Stepfather"
"If you want to be her father, you'll have to see if my daughter acknowledges you first." At this moment, Su Jianguo was like a child, firmly binding Su Nianxue to his boat.
Why not admit it?
Didn't you find me a stepmother too?
So it's not unusual for my mom to have a stepfather.
"To be fair, I'll call him Dad. You shouldn't have any objections, right?" Su Nianxue lightly lifted her eyelids and gave Su Jianguo a cold smile.
It's truly a case of "the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden to light lamps."
Back when Wang Lanhua first entered the family, she insisted that he call her "Mom".
Su Jianguo's eyes widened suddenly, filled with disbelief. "Su Nianxue, are you crazy?"
Your mother abandoned you and ran off with another man. Now you not only have to acknowledge her, but also call this man "Dad"?
"I think you've lost your mind from giving birth!"
Su Jianguo's voice was somewhat sharp; he clearly could not accept this explanation.
In his view, Su Nianxue was his own daughter, and having grown up with him over the years, she should naturally stand on his side unconditionally.
But what did he just hear?
She actually wants to call this man "Dad"!
Doesn't that imply that Han Jingru was right to abandon them?
How could she side with outsiders?
He was not very accepting of this statement.
Before Su Nianxue could speak, Han Jingru interrupted him loudly, "Su Jianguo, what do you mean I abandoned her?"
I never abandoned her, I just don't want you anymore.
Besides, I only married Tiancheng after I returned to Luzhou after divorcing you.
How can you tell me to run off with another man?
But you, you married such a shrew.
I don't believe you have no idea what kind of life Nianxue has been living at home all these years.
"You still have the nerve to sow discord here, Su Jianguo? Why don't you just die?"
She made no attempt to hide her disgust for the Su couple.
She regretted it once again, wondering what she had been so blind to have fallen for back then.
It's just that I feel sorry for my own daughter.
"Han Jingru, are you even being reasonable?"
As a grown man, I have to support this whole family; I don't have time to deal with these trivial matters.
You make it sound like you're completely innocent.
If you truly cared for Nianxue, you wouldn't have abandoned her and left back then.
In the end, we've come full circle back to the topic of divorce.
In Su Jianguo's mind, the root cause of all this was Han Jingru.
She was the one who insisted on getting a divorce in the first place, so she should be the one at fault.
Unexpectedly, she, the one at fault, can now accuse him with a straight face.
She didn't even consider that, no matter how wrong he was, he still raised their daughter.
Unlike her, who let go for more than ten years.
For more than ten years, there has been no news of them!
No, that's not right either; she did write back quite a few letters.
But so what? She's still the one at fault.
At least that's what he's believed all these years.
A slight sneer curled at the corner of Su Nianxue's lips. So he knew everything.
He knew how much she had suffered in this family, and all the unfair treatment she had endured.
So what?
