Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang's eyes turned even colder towards Meng Anyao. She was thinking about how to deal with her perfunctorily when she heard footsteps behind her.
She turned her head and her expression changed from being indifferent to one of great surprise.
"It's not time to get off work yet, why are you back early?"
Su Jieyu smiled at her, but her mood was particularly bad.
She couldn't say that she heard about the shameful things Meng Anyao had done from her leader, so she rushed back to deal with it.
She felt embarrassed even to mention it, let alone say it out loud.
Su Jieyu really didn't understand. Over the years, she had never slacked off in educating Meng Anyao, and had always tried hard to train her into a good girl with upright values, courage and strength.
But why couldn't Meng Anyao even fulfill such a simple request?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pursed her lips, feeling disappointed in her heart.
Although Su Jieyu did not explain anything, Aunt Zhang guessed from her expression that Meng Anyao must have done something bad again and was causing her to worry again.
Aunt Zhang couldn't help but sigh deeply, and felt more distressed about Su Jieyu's experience.
She just wanted to take care of Su Jieyu and let her talk inside first, and then she went to pour her a cup of hot water.
However, Meng Anyao, who didn't want to hear the noise in the house, came out at this time. When she saw Su Jieyu at home, she didn't even say a word of concern, but started complaining and making accusations.
"Mom, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, our family would have been in turmoil."
"You should criticize Aunt Zhang. She has been working in our house for such a long time, but she doesn't know any rules. It's ok that she is disrespectful to me, but she can't even do her job properly. Does she want me to teach her how to be a servant?"
She kept nagging and even threatened to tell Meng Huaizhou about this matter. She must take this opportunity to set some rules for Wang Ma.
Su Jieyu couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted her coldly.
"That's enough. I've told you so many times that this is a new society. The relationship between us and Aunt Zhang is just an employment relationship. We are equal. She is not our servant."
"Aunt Zhang came to work in our house so many years ago. She watched you grow up with her own eyes. An Yao, how can you be so rude to your elders?"
She was so disappointed with Meng Anyao that she was too lazy to even consider her feelings as she did before. Instead, she confessed everything in the calmest tone.
"As for your father, you don't need to tell him. Your father and I have already divorced and we have no relationship now. Aunt Zhang is someone I hired, and our family affairs have nothing to do with Meng Huaizhou. He has no right to know."
This sudden news made Meng Anyao stand there in a daze as if she had been struck by lightning.
She didn't understand. She had just gone on a long trip, so why did such earth-shaking changes happen at home?
After all, she was the daughter she had raised for so many years. Su Jieyu still felt a little distressed when she saw Meng Anyao looking so devastated.
She took several deep breaths before speaking the second half of the sentence:
"Meng Huaizhou and I have already signed the divorce report. Mom wants to ask you now, who are you going to be with in the future?"
Seeing Su Jieyu's firm attitude, Meng Anyao had to believe, no matter how reluctant she was, that everything she said was true.
My parents are divorced.
Combined with the situation at home she had just discovered, her expression suddenly became even more unbelievable.
Divorce would have been fine, but she never expected that in the end it would be her father who would be kicked out of the house.
At this moment, Meng Anyao even felt resentment towards Su Jieyu, thinking that she was too heartless and shouldn't have shown no mercy to her father.
Meng Anyao felt heartbroken whenever she thought about the possibility that Meng Huaizhou was homeless and had no place to stay.
She made her choice almost without hesitation: "I choose Dad."
Although Meng Anyao did not say what she was thinking, after all, they had been mother and daughter for so many years, so how could Su Jieyu not understand the look in her eyes.
It was clear that Meng Anyao had no sympathy for her difficulties at all. Instead, she blamed all the mistakes on her.
She never expected that the child she had raised with so much difficulty over so many years would turn out to be such an ungrateful person!
Su Jieyu was so angry that she laughed.
"Okay, as long as you think it through and don't regret it, it's fine. You are free to be with whomever you want."
Meng Anyao didn't seem to realize that Su Jieyu's seemingly calm tone actually carried a hint of anger.
She just turned around impatiently and ran upstairs, and she even looked a little happy from behind.
"Okay, thank you mom for respecting my decision. I'll pack my bags and go find dad."
But in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Su Jieyu stood where she was, but was unable to look away.
"Xiao Su."
Aunt Zhang couldn't help but shout out in worry and walked over to look at Su Jieyu's expression.
She was afraid that Su Jieyu would feel sad because of this kind of thing. The non-stop hard work over the years had made Su Jieyu's body very tired.
Aunt Zhang was really worried that she wouldn't be able to withstand such a blow, and was always thinking about how to persuade her.
"Don't be too sad. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. An Yao follows her father, so she shouldn't be too far behind."
Su Jieyu came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head at her.
"Aunt Zhang, don't worry about me. I'm fine. I had already guessed that this would be the result."
"Although I have personally raised An Yao since she was a child, she always feels that I control her too much and has never been very close to me. It is not surprising that she wants to leave me."
At this moment, there was no fluctuation in her heart, and she even felt a little relieved.
I think it would be great if Meng Anyao really wants to leave, since I will be the only one left in this family from now on.
She will no longer be tied down by family and can concentrate on pursuing her career.
Meng Anyao, who was busy packing her luggage upstairs, thought of many things in an instant.
The reason why she chose to follow Meng Huaizhou was not entirely because she liked her father more, but more because of weighing the pros and cons.
My mother is a member of the art troupe. Although her life seems glamorous on the surface, she can't provide any help.
With Su Jieyu's personality, she wouldn't show favoritism for her daughter.
If I follow her in the future, nothing will happen. I still have to follow my father, who works in the diplomatic department.
