Xue Weimin saw that his parents' relationship had reached a point where it could no longer be reconciled, so he stopped trying to persuade them. He said, "Dad, since Mom has made her decision, you should go and get the divorce procedures tomorrow."
"Once Mom finishes her work, I will take her to Kyoto. Weiqi and Sisi will also come with me."
"You can do whatever you want with the mother and son. I have only one request: they never appear in front of the three of us siblings."
After saying that, he looked at the two elders of the Xue family and said, "Also, grandpa and grandma, please never mention them in front of us."
Xue Weimin's words carried a lot of weight in the family. Even his parents didn't dare to contradict his decisions. After arranging this matter, he instructed his younger siblings, "Weiqi, go get your grandparents. Sisi, help Mom pack. I want to talk to her privately."
As the four of them left, Old Man Xue grabbed the teacup beside him and threw it at his son, roaring angrily, "You bastard, are you satisfied now?"
"Why did you hit Hailin? He didn't want this to happen." Old Mrs. Xue sided with her son.
"Just shut up."
Old man Xue turned his anger on her, looked up at the upstairs, and lowered his voice to scold her: "You stupid woman, why did you tell Yuni and Weimin about the child? If you hadn't told them, Yuni wouldn't have filed for divorce, and Weimin and the others wouldn't have been disappointed in Hailin."
"If you want to raise that child, just raise him secretly outside like before. It's not like our family can't afford to raise a child. You old fool, why did you say that in front of Yuni?"
"Now, you've caused their divorce with just one sentence, and it's chilling for the Peng family. If my father-in-law goes to Kyoto and complains to the Peng family, I wonder how you can withstand their wrath."
Old Mrs. Xue had never thought so much before. She simply thought that Xue Kai was the flesh and blood of the Xue family. She could also see that her eldest son liked the child very much and didn't want him to be a wild child in an improper way. She didn't think about anything else.
Now that the old man said this, Mrs. Xue felt a little regretful.
As the eldest daughter-in-law, she was not from a humble family. Her family had a very good relationship with the main family in Kyoto. The Peng family was very powerful and influential in Kyoto. Even her second son, who made her the most proud, did not dare to offend them easily.
"I'll go and persuade him."
Old Mrs. Xue knew the pros and cons clearly, so she stood up immediately and pulled Xue Hailin, who was sitting beside her, and said, "Boss, come on, let's go upstairs and persuade Yuni and apologize to her."
Xue Hailin stood up numbly. He felt very uncomfortable at the moment. His head was aching, his temples and eye sockets were painful as if they were pricked by needles, and his legs were as heavy and weak as if they were filled with lead.
"Mom, Weimin is talking to Yuni. Let them talk first. We can talk to her later, when she calms down."
Seeing that he was panting and looked very unhappy, Old Lady Xue quickly helped him sit down and asked, "Boss, are you feeling unwell?"
"Yeah, not feeling well."
Xue Hailin leaned on the sofa, rubbing his head with both hands, with a look of pain on his face: "Mom, pour me a glass of water."
"Do you want to call a doctor?" Old Man Xue saw that he was not feeling well and hurried over.
"No need. I've been busy these days and stayed up for two nights without sleep. I have a terrible headache. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep tonight." Xue Hailin rubbed his head hard.
The two elders of the Xue family noticed that the color of his eye sockets and lips was abnormal, but they didn't think much of it and just thought he was too tired.
Old Lady Xue poured him a glass of warm water, and after she nursed him to drink, she softly asked, "Boss, what do we do with that woman?"
Wen Qian was leaning against the wall like a soulless body. She was beaten to a pulp by Peng Yuni the night before and almost died. She hadn't eaten for the past two days and was so weak that she couldn't even stand up.
She heard everything that happened in the Xue family's quarrel just now. When Peng Yuni asked for a divorce, she was not happy at all, because she knew that even if they divorced, Xue Hailin would not marry her, and the Xue family would definitely humiliate her in the future.
Now she didn't have too many expectations. She just hoped that the two elders of the Xue family and Xue Hailin would accept and raise her son because he was of the Xue family's blood.
As for herself, she had no extravagant hope of entering the Xue family, nor did she dare to enter the Xue family.
Seeing that they were talking about their own affairs, Wen Qian pricked up her ears to listen, wanting to hear his arrangements.
But Xue Hailin didn't give a definite answer: "I'll talk to Wen Qian later."
In the study upstairs, Xue Weimin was having a detailed discussion with his mother, mainly asking about work and his father's personal affairs.
At this point, Peng Yuni no longer hid anything and told him everything.
"Wei Min, your uncle and aunt did indeed abuse their positions to embezzle a lot of money. They also blatantly sold jobs and collaborated with outsiders to resell materials."
"Your father knows all this, and I know it too. I've advised them before not to overdo it, and even if they do, they should be more discreet. But they didn't listen to me, believing that even if something went wrong, your father and Second Uncle would be able to help them sort it out."
"Also, it's not just your uncle and aunt, your aunt and uncle are the same."
"Your aunt's eldest cousin, Yuan Hong, is spoiled. To be frank, he's now lawless. Not only does he collaborate with all sorts of people, he even gets involved in that kind of stuff."
"He was almost caught by the police last time, but he was so smug after escaping. I said a few words to him, but your aunt was so protective of her and even accused me of meddling."
"Wei Min, I thought about it carefully last night, and I always have a bad feeling. I always feel that the hands behind this won't give up. He must have other plans."
"The sudden intervention of the troops this time must have been driven by him. Now that your uncle and his wife have fallen, your aunt and her husband might be next."
"Our family can't escape this either. The existence of Wen Qian and her son is your father's biggest mistake. Those who don't get along with him will definitely seize this opportunity."
"Your father has been completely seduced by that slutty vixen and has lost all sense of purpose. He doesn't want to do anything serious and won't make any other arrangements. He doesn't consider the future of you three siblings or the Xue family at all."
"I argued with him, quarreled with him, and reasoned with him, analyzing the pros and cons, but he wouldn't listen and even thought I was meddling."
"Weimin, you are a smart kid and a visionary. You should know that what I said is right. Go talk to your dad later. Maybe he will listen to you."
Xue Weimin sat beside her and listened quietly. He waited until she finished speaking before saying, "Mom, I understand. I'll talk to Dad."
"Weimin, go talk to him. Don't get involved in your uncle and aunt's affairs. If your grandparents want to intervene, let them do it. In the end, your second uncle will cover it."
"Once the divorce procedures are completed, the four of us, mother and children, will leave immediately. If your father makes a foolish mistake, we will immediately publish a notice in the Kyoto newspaper to sever ties with him. We absolutely cannot let him and his hindering relatives like the Xue family ruin your future."
