Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 435 Divorce

Mrs. Chi was taken aback. What did the old man mean? She had asked him to persuade her son to change his mind, so why was he asking her this now?

"Answer me!" Chi's father said authoritatively.

After a long pause, Chi's mother finally said, "Of course I don't want to lose my son, but as for me to accept this woman, there's no way I'll accept her!"

“In that case, I agree with Mo Qing’s decision.” Mr. Chi said this casually, immediately causing Mrs. Chi’s eyes to widen. “Old man, are you crazy? We only have this one son!”

“From now on, we only have one daughter,” Mr. Chi said casually. “After all these years, I really didn’t know you liked being on TV so much. Rather than letting a bunch of people embarrass themselves with you, it’s better to sever ties.”

Chi's mother's face flushed red and then turned pale at her father's words, and she was speechless for a moment.

Mr. Chi's expression hardened, and his tone became more serious, "No matter how much you make a fuss, this is a family matter of the Chi family. Do you have to make such a big fuss? Zuo Zuo and Mo Qing have been married for several years. Do you, as their mother-in-law, really think you have a clear conscience?"

Upon hearing her father's words, Chi's mother immediately understood. So, her father was siding with that vixen Yan Zuozuo! All her guilt and unease vanished, and she spoke without hesitation, "What have I done to wrong her? Don't you want to look at all those messy reports outside? Is there anything good about anyone connected to her? Our Chi family wants a dutiful daughter-in-law, not a vixen with a string of affairs!"

Yan Zuozuo's heart tightened, and she felt a pang of sadness, wanting to cry. But when she met Chi Moqing's angry gaze, she held back. If she cried now, the relationship between Chi Moqing and Chi's mother would only worsen, and Chi's mother would definitely think she was putting on an act, and would dislike her even more.

"A vixen? There are indeed vixens here, and more than one!" After saying that, Mr. Chi looked at He Xinrui, who was standing to the side with an embarrassed expression, "Miss, how long do you plan to stay here?"

He Xinrui was taken aback, looked at Chi's mother with a wronged expression, pursed her lips and said, "I came to pick up Auntie from the hospital. Since Uncle is here, I'll leave first. You two chat."

"Xiao Xi..." Chi's mother wanted to call out to her, but a cold look from Chi's father stopped her. Then Chi's father said, "Even if Zuo Zuo is a vixen, she's a vixen that Mo Qing cares about. Not every vixen is someone our Mo Qing can fancy!"

These words were clearly meant for He Xinrui's ears. She gritted her teeth and left without looking back.

"Alright, now that it's just family here, let me ask you a question: what exactly is it about Zuo Zuo that you're unhappy with, that you insist on their divorce?" Mr. Chi asked, narrowing his eyes.

Mother Chi clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and said, "I just don't like her. My son deserves a better woman. He doesn't need to wrong himself by marrying someone who cheats on him all the time!"

"You saw it with your own eyes?" Mr. Chi asked sternly. "What a mess this once happy family has become! Is it Zuo Zuo's fault, or is there something wrong with you as the mother-in-law? Don't you ever reflect on your own actions?"

Mr. Chi had never spoken so harshly to Mrs. Chi before. Seeing his angry expression, Mrs. Chi was stunned and completely bewildered. What was going on? Not only her son, but even her husband had been tamed by this vixen?

Thinking of this, Chi's mother immediately became furious again, pointing her finger at Yan Zuozuo's nose and cursing, "Yan Zuozuo, you bitch, what kind of bewitching potion did you give your father-in-law to make him think of you like this too?"

"Shut up!" Mr. Chi slammed his hand heavily on the bedside table. Even with his good manners, he couldn't stand his wife's repeated unreasonable tantrums. "When are you going to stop this nonsense?"

Startled by her father's angry roar, Chi's mother was stunned and stood there speechless for a long time.

"Do you think I don't know what you did back then, and why Can Can hasn't come back all these years?" Chi's father looked at Chi's mother with a face full of disappointment. "I've always thought that you are kind-hearted and that you raised two children, so I've never mentioned this matter all these years."

Everyone in the ward was stunned; it turned out that the father had known all along…

Especially Chi's mother, who stared at Chi's father in utter disbelief. He knew, he had always known, that he was only keeping her around because of the two children? What about all her sacrifices over the years!

Mr. Chi let out a long sigh. Twenty years had passed. He actually knew the reason why Chi Xuecan left home back then. But at that time, he was already married to Mrs. Chi. Chi Moqing was ten years old, and Chi Ran was five.

He selfishly thought that Chi Xuecan was only angry for a moment and would calm down and come back soon. But he didn't expect that the girl was also stubborn, and she left for twenty years.

He felt guilty and remorseful, always feeling that he had let Chi Xuecan down. But Chi's mother had already raised his children, and in their relationship, he couldn't deny that Chi's mother was a virtuous wife and loving mother, at least to him.

He couldn't bring himself to get a divorce, and he couldn't bear to leave his two children without a mother.

For twenty years, he swallowed all the pain alone, trying his best to maintain the happiness of the whole family. But his guilt only deepened; he knew that this happiness was built on Chi Xuecan's suffering. Leaving her hometown, a young girl unable to return home, was his fault as her older brother.

If Mrs. Chi could have remained a virtuous wife and mother, a kind and gentle mother-in-law, he would never have uttered these words, and would have only suffered for the rest of his life. But in the end, she disappointed him.

The children are all grown up now, and Chi Xuecan is still in a coma. He can't be so selfish anymore; it's time to make a decision.

He walked up to Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo and sighed heavily. "If the Chi family makes you feel oppressed and unhappy, then go live the life you want. I regretted letting Cancan leave back then for the rest of my life; but I believe that letting you leave this time is the thing I regret the least."

If he can't even protect his own family and safeguard his son's happiness, he's a complete failure as a father.

Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo looked at their father, their eyes slightly reddening, "Dad..."

"Zuo Zuo, you are a good girl. I am at ease entrusting Mo Qing to you." Chi's father earnestly instructed them. He had already owed Can Can his whole life and did not want to do anything that would make him feel guilty.

Yan Zuozuo didn't know what to say, so she looked up at Chi Moqing. Chi Moqing hugged her tightly and said to his father, "Dad, if you have time, come and visit more often. We're planning to bring the child over as well..."

"I won't allow it!" Upon hearing that they were going to take the child away, Chi's mother immediately protested loudly. If they really took the child away, Chi Moqing might never want her as his mother again. She disagreed and couldn't let them take the child away!

“Mom doesn’t acknowledge Zuo Zuo’s identity and even wants to test the child’s DNA. Since you hate all four of us so much, child, let’s take the child away.” Chi Moqing looked calmly at Chi’s mother. “Zuo Zuo has already suffered countless grievances because of Mom. I don’t want my child to suffer the same grievances.”

Mrs. Chi was so frustrated she couldn't utter a word, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "I won't allow you to take the child away!"

"I approve!" Mr. Chi said sternly, ignoring Mrs. Chi's shocked expression. "Our Chi family children should be kind and upright. If they follow you, they will only grow up crooked."

Mrs. Chi went berserk: "What do you mean by saying that following me will only lead to bad behavior? Did I lead Mo Qing astray, or did I lead Xiao Ran astray? You should speak with conscience. I admit that what I did back then was wrong and hurt Can Can, but I have devoted myself to the Chi family for the past twenty years, being a good wife and mother. Are you going to erase all of that?"

"So I've indulged you for twenty years, swallowing all the pain and self-blame alone. If you were still that devoted wife and mother, I would never have said these words today. But what have you done? You haven't even realized what mistakes you've made. Back then, you hurt Can Can for your wicked sister; now you're hurting Zuo Zuo for that woman. Twenty years have passed, have you really reflected on your actions?"

Mr. Chi shook his head in disappointment: "You were kind to Zuo Zuo at first because of your son. But what you did later, wasn't it all because of your disabled sister and your niece who's in prison? If you really knew you were wrong, would you still do this and treat Zuo Zuo like this?"

The father's questioning tone left the mother speechless, her face turning pale and then red.

"Forget it, since we can't get along, let each of us live our own lives," Mr. Chi said again. These words made Mrs. Chi uneasy. What did he mean by "let each of us live our own lives"?

She looked at Chi's father nervously: "What, what do you mean?"

“You don’t dislike Can Can or Zuo Zuo, but one of them is my sister and the other is the woman my son loves. Since you can’t even tolerate them, you shouldn’t stay in the Chi family.”

Upon hearing Mr. Chi's words, everyone's expression immediately changed drastically. Mrs. Chi was completely stunned. "You...you mean you want to divorce me?" She seemed unable to bear the blow, and her whole body swayed.

“I should have done this twenty years ago. To be honest, it's my fault as the father-in-law that Zuo Zuo has suffered this injustice.” Mr. Chi sighed, then turned to Mrs. Chi. “Let’s go, we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau first, then you can pack your things and leave the Chi family!”

Chi's mother felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and her face was completely drained of color. She knew her husband's character very well; once he had said those words, he would never go back on his word.

He really wants to divorce her!

Regardless of his wife's reaction, Chi's father grabbed her and headed outside, determined to get a divorce.

This is bad! Yan Zuozuo was anxious and grabbed Chi Moqing's hand, wanting to follow him out. "Honey, let's hurry and stop Dad. We can't let him really divorce Mom because of what happened to us."

However, Chi Moqing stopped her, pulled her close, and kissed her forehead. "Don't worry, Dad knows best how to make Mom give in. I had my vas deferens recanalization surgery a while ago, so why don't we go consult a doctor together now and get some other checkups, okay?"

Yan Zuozuo frowned and asked with concern, "Are you really alright?"

"I assure you, not only will everything be fine, but Mom will definitely apologize to you." Chi Moqing smiled mysteriously.

Yan Zuozuo was very suspicious, but since he said so, she couldn't insist on going with him, lest she anger Chi's mother again and be accused of going to watch a good show, which would leave her unable to clear her name.

She and Chi Moqing both underwent full-body checkups, and they were both in excellent health, ready to start trying to conceive. Throughout the journey, Chi Moqing kept looking at her with a blushing, heart-pounding gaze, making her heart flutter and her mind race.
