He Zhangcheng clenched his fists nervously as he looked at Ye Man, afraid that she would disagree. At the same time, he leaned forward slightly, as if to block her way back. He was serious.
However, no one knew the fear he was feeling. He knew that if Ye Man was really determined to divorce him, he seemed unable to stop her, since the situation in his family was really bad for her.
Ye Man lowered her head and pondered for a while before looking at him, "Okay."
He Zhangcheng breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll go check on Xiaoting."
Afraid she might disagree, he added, "Okay?"
Ye Man silently stepped aside, but the crying from the living room didn't stop. "What about your mother?"
"I will persuade her to leave."
Xiaoting, her eyes red, was sitting on the floor playing with her toys. The snacks her mother had given her were left uneaten. He Zhangcheng walked in hesitantly. Xiaoting just kept her head down, fiddling with her toys. He took a deep breath and sat down next to his daughter.
"Click"
Xiaoting broke a toy, and instinctively looked at her mother. Ye Man stood at the door watching her, saying, "Xiaoting, stay in your room for a while."
Ye Man closed the door, leaving only the father and daughter inside. Xiaoting stared at the toy she had broken, and He Zhangcheng silently reached out his hand. Seeing that she didn't object, he took the broken toy into his hands.
"How about Dad fixes it for you?"
Xiaoting hadn't noticed that he was still angry. He Zhangcheng tried a few times but couldn't fix the broken toy, so he put it aside and planned to fix it later. He thought for a long time and decided not to let the matter slide just because his daughter was only a few years old.
Even if the harm was inflicted at a young age, it was still very real.
"……sorry"
Xiaoting, who had finally been coaxed by her mother, turned her face away after hearing his apology.
"What Grandma said isn't true, Xiaoting, don't take her words to heart..."
Xiaoting suddenly stood up and was about to walk towards the door when He Zhangcheng quickly stretched out his arms to stop her. "I'm sorry, Dad and Mom think the same way. We will only have Xiaoting as our daughter from now on. What happened today will never happen again. Xiaoting, please believe me?"
When He Zhangcheng saw that his daughter was about to cry, he quickly reached out and hugged her before she could react. The little girl was all warm and tearful in his arms. How could he, as her father, feel any better?
The first time they met, she was already several months old, lying in her swaddling clothes, yet she was already smiling at him. The next time they met, she hid behind his wife, looking at him timidly, and he couldn't recognize her at all. Every time this happened, his heart would clench.
I spent too little time with her as she grew up.
"...I'm sorry, it's all Dad's fault."
Xiaoting clutched his clothes and cried. Ye Man heard the crying coming from inside the room and turned to walk to the sofa. Ma Mingyue was looking at her with a nervous expression. Liu He was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, groaning and moaning.
"What have I been doing all these years? The He family looks down on me and you are their only son. If it weren't for you, would I have had to put up with so much injustice in the He family?"
I finally raised you with great difficulty, and now you slam your fist on the table at your own mother and want to kick me out... What a terrible thing to do!"
Ye Man crossed her arms and looked at her coldly, while Ma Mingyue quickly sat up and stood between them.
"Sister-in-law, Auntie almost couldn't breathe just now. She was only trying to help my brother, please don't—"
"Alright, this is our family matter."
Ye Man gestured for Ma Mingyue to be quiet, "You should seek retribution from the He family for all the mistreatment you've suffered there. Why should I and my daughter have to suffer because of you?"
