Chapter 57 - Eradicating Pests At Home (1)
It was inevitable that Su Haoran would come home and confront her mother about Ye Xing and Ye Mingyu's existence. However, it still made Su Xiaofei suspicious of him. Why did that bastard still take a week before he could finally return home after New Year's Day?
No, it was impossible that Su Haoran had another mistress he was keeping behind Yun Qingrong's back, but instead, this might coincide with the fact that in Su Xiaofei's past life, Su Haoran had an addiction to gambling. It was only revealed after her death that his multiple creditors had been looking everywhere for him.
Such a sick bastard. Not only did he betray her adoptive mother, but he also spent her money lavishly in her past life. Perhaps, this was also around the same time that Su Haoran embezzled some money from Bluemedia that would surely cause Yun Qingrong a lot of trouble later on.
Su Xiaofei knew she needed to separate her mother from Su Haoran as soon as possible or else, she might be able to save Yun Qingrong this time, but her mother might need to pay a heavy price for her husband's wrongdoings later.
"What else do you have to say?" Yun Qingrong's voice boomed as soon as Su Haoran came closer like an innocent little lamb in front of her. "Don't you think I've seen enough already? Not only did those two upset my Feifei, even Housekeeper Chen looked down on my daughter!"
"Dear, please calm down and let me explain." Su Haoran was on his knees, ready to beg his wife for forgiveness. "As for my cousin, you might have misunderstood her. She probably didn't mean to offend and upset Xiaofei."
Su Xiaofei and her unwilling accomplice, Lu Qingfeng, were just outside the room, eavesdropping on their elders' conversation. Su Xiaofei chuckled the moment she heard what Su Haoran just said, while Lu Qingfeng frowned next to her.
"Xiaofei, do we really have to be here and eavesdrop on them?" Lu Qingfeng asked with a hint of annoyance. If it was just him, he would tell his Aunty Qing to divorce that excuse of a man immediately. There's no need for her to waste her time listening to more of his lies.
Instead of placating Yun Qingrong's anger, Su Haoran's words only infuriate her. She could see now that her father had been right all this time, and she had married the wrong person since the very beginning.
She looked at his face, seeing no remorse or guilt in his eyes, and shook her head. Why did she waste years of life keeping her marriage with this kind of man? Even if Feifei wasn't their real daughter, he didn't have to cast her aside like an unwanted puppy she had picked up on the road.
It was clear to her now that her husband would never change. Perhaps her Feifei was right. Su Haoran wouldn't be able to treat her right because he knew somewhere that he had a daughter that he should be spoiling and not another child whose origin was unknown.
"Enough. I don't wanna hear your explanations anymore. I will contact my lawyer immediately, you go and find that daughter of yours. I don't want to keep you here with us any longer."
Since it had already come to this, how can she stay married to him anymore? Now that his real daughter from another woman had come forward, it wouldn't be right if she still forbade him to become a father to a child that he'd been yearning to have for years.
"Qingqing! How can you say that? We've been together for so long and yet you want to divorce now? Do our years of being together mean nothing to you?" Su Haoran obviously cannot leave and divorce Yun Qingrong yet. Not like this. If she decided to divorce him, then he would be forced to leave with nothing.
"You should have known this would happen, right, Papa?"
Unfortunately, Su Haoran would never understand that Yun Qingrong's love for her daughter was greater than the love she had for her husband.
"Xiao Fei." Su Haoran's face darkened upon seeing the child his wife took in, standing at the doorway of the study.
"Feifei, what are you doing here?" Yun Qingrong rushed to her daughter worriedly. Her Feifei was already dressed in her night clothes, and she hadn't expected that she was still awake this late at night. "Did Mama's loud voice wake you up?"
"No, Mama. It's okay. I couldn't sleep because I was worried about you." Su Xiaofei gave her mother a weak smile. She had left Lu Qingfeng outside, and she had no doubt that he had already left to return to the guest room he occupied.
"Dear, can you please not make reckless decisions like this? I know it's my fault, but I'm not willing to part with you like this…"
"Papa must be missing Jiejie, right? He must also be worried because Miss Ye has cancer." Su Xiaofei said, giving her adoptive father a mocking look.
From the moment she started to be conscious of her surroundings and knew her Papa and Mama, she had never felt familial love from Su Haoran at all. At first she wasn't sure of the reason, but now that she knew, she had no sympathy whatsoever for this pathetic old man.
"This, Xiaofei. You should leave this issue to your elders. Go back to your room." He said sternly to Su Xiaofei.
"There's nothing else to talk about." Yun Qingrong shot him a glare, protecting her daughter from Su Haoran's words. She must have been too blind and stupid not to notice that her husband would never come to love her Feifei.
"Aunty Liu has already packed your belongings. My lawyer will contact you soon. You are free to do whatever you want outside this household." Yun Qingrong refused to be swayed by his words.
Su Haoran was stunned, but he didn't have any chance to refute because Yun Qingrong had already left with Su Xiaofei.
