Pregnant and Divorced by My Disabled Husband

28: Chapter 28: Father and Son Stand Up for Jian Si 28: Chapter 28: Father and Son Stand Up for Jian Si Lu Yanbai cunningly rotated his eyeballs.

He tasted every dish on the table and then spat them all out.

“The meat is too tough.”

“The fish is too fishy.”

“The soup is so salty, it’s killing me.”

“The bird’s nest is too fake, are you too stingy to spend money?

If you don’t have money to buy, my family has plenty, I can give you some.”

“The lobster has a muddy smell.”

“These dishes are really terrible, not as good as my Mommy’s cooking.”

He disparaged almost every dish, and finally concluded, “Daddy, the food here is too terrible, let’s not come here again.

The people here are not good either.

Auntie hit me, and Grandpa hit me too; they are not good people!

Only Mommy is good to me, she protected me when Grandpa wanted to hit me.”

Hearing this, Jian Shihai’s heart instantly tightened.

“Xiao Bai, what are you talking about?

What if you make your Daddy misunderstand?

When did Grandpa want to hit you?

You broke Grandpa’s antique vase; he was trying to pick it up.”

While defending himself, he didn’t forget to inform Lu Youting about Lu Yanbai’s misconduct.

He thought Lu Youting would scold Lu Yanbai, but the little guy spoke first, “Do you really think I’m a fool?

Auntie said my Mommy is a white-eyed wolf; she said I’m a little bastard!

You think you can bully us when Daddy is not here.

Humph!”

These words broke Jian Shihai out in a cold sweat.

He looked at Lu Youting and chuckled awkwardly, “It’s a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding.

Xiao Bai is still young; he must have heard wrong!

Youting, you mustn’t believe his words.”

Lu Youting’s obsidian-like pupils hid a chilling gleam, “You don’t need to explain.

I have the ability to discern right from wrong.”

Jian Shihai immediately fell silent, occasionally casting resentful glances at Lu Yanbai, wishing he could kill the little beast.

The meal was finished in such a tense atmosphere.

After the meal, Jian Si wanted to leave but was called to the study by Jian Shihai.

Lu Yanbai, concerned, wanted to follow, but Jian Si stopped him, asking Lu Youting to watch him closely while she followed Jian Shihai alone into the study.

Once the study door closed, Jian Shihai immediately showed his true colors and backhanded Jian Si across the face.

Jian Si was prepared; she stepped back and dodged his hand.

Jian Shihai narrowed his eyes and glared furiously, “You have quite the nerve to dodge.”

Jian Si curled her lips and forced a smile, “Did you think I’m still the Jian Si from five years ago that you can bully at will?”

Jian Shihai was infuriated, “No matter what, I am still your father.”

Jian Si felt the word “father” was the most ridiculous thing.

“Father?

Just because of this word, I can’t blame you for my mother’s death.

Just because of this word, when I was being bullied by Xu Jiaorong and her sons, I didn’t dare to retaliate.

Just because of this word, I agreed to marry Lu Youting, which ended in divorce.

How much longer do you intend to morally blackmail me with this word?”

“You…” Jian Shihai’s old face turned shades of blue and white.

Jian Si felt a sourness at the tip of her nose, with a layer of tears forming in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, holding back her tears, “If you only called me back today to lecture me, then I’m sorry, I’m very busy and don’t have time for lessons.”

Jian Shihai’s face turned iron blue, suppressing his urge to strangle her, and he forcefully said, “You must leave Jiangcheng by tomorrow at the latest!

Ever since you came back, Xiao Bai has been completely on your side, which is not conducive to Qingqing marrying Lu Youting.”

Faced with his unreasonable demand, Jian Si felt her blood run cold, and a feeling of desperate sadness enveloped her, her face white as paper.

Seeing her silent, Jian Shihai added, “I know you’ve been living in City A, I’ve already bought your plane ticket for you; tomorrow morning at eight, I will personally send someone to take you to the airport.

If it’s not necessary, don’t ever come back in this lifetime.”

Jian Si felt a chill throughout her body, as if something was stuck in her throat, a bitterness spreading from her eyes.

After suppressing her emotions for so many years, she finally couldn’t hold back anymore, and all her feelings surged out.

“I am your daughter too, why do you have to be so cruel to me?

For the past five years in Country A, you didn’t care at all, leaving me to fend for myself.

Now I have returned, and if it weren’t for Ye Qingqing, wouldn’t you refuse to see me?

Why can you be so biased?

Why do you hurt me over and over again for her?” Jian Si looked on with an expression of utter heartbreak, but Jian Shihai was unmoved.

“This is all because you owe Qingqing.

If I hadn’t married your mother twenty-something years ago, she would have been the Miss of the Jian Family.

Seven years ago, if you hadn’t married Lu Youting, Qingqing would have been the official daughter-in-law of the Lu Family.

You rightfully should return to her what you owe.” Jian Si felt a heart-wrenching pain, as if she were plunging into an endless abyss, her eyes dim and lifeless, filled with desolation.

This was her father.

He could capriciously place baseless charges on her.

There’s nothing sadder than a broken heart.

This time, she was utterly disillusioned with this so-called father.

“I won’t leave Jiangcheng!”

Jian Shihai narrowed his eyes.

“What did you say?

Say it again?”

Jian Si stretched her lips into a forced smile and asserted forcefully, word by word, “I said, I absolutely will not leave Jiangcheng!”

“You…” Jian Shihai raised his hand in anger.

This time Jian Si didn’t dodge, tilting her head high, her face defiant.

“If you dare, hit me!

If you do, then I’ll have no ties with the Jian Family from then on.”

Jian Shihai’s chest heaved violently with rage.

Thinking about Lu Youting downstairs and fearing to leave marks on her face, he forcefully withdrew his hand.

Jian Si emphasized again, “Five years ago, after I donated my bone marrow to Ye Qingqing, I owed her nothing.

What needed to be repaid, I have repaid.

From now on, I will live only for myself, for my child.

I absolutely, absolutely will not leave Jiangcheng, unless you drag me away.”

Having said this, she no longer looked at Jian Shihai’s colorfully changing face and turned away without looking back.

The study door opened, and when she saw Lu Youting and Lu Yanbai standing at the door, she froze.

Lu Youting’s narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, an ominous aura enveloping him, chilling to the bone.

Lu Yanbai’s small face was covered in a cold layer, his eyes reddened, with tears shimmering.

It took Jian Si a moment to find her voice again.

“You, how did you get here?”

Hearing the voice, Jian Shihai shuddered, promptly walking out of the study, and upon seeing Lu Youting and Lu Yanbai, his face immediately filled with smiles.

“Youting, Xiao Bai, you’re here!

Do you need something from me?”

Lu Yanbai lifted his foot angrily and kicked fiercely against his shin.

“You villain, you’re bullying Mommy again!”

This kick was with all his might, and since Lu Yanbai was wearing children’s leather shoes, Jian Shihai’s face twisted with pain.

Jian Shihai dared not cry out in pain, and playing dumb, he said, “Xiao Bai, what are you talking about?

Grandpa was not bullying your mommy, we were just talking.”

Lu Yanbai puffed up his cheeks.

“Do you really think we are deaf?

We heard everything you said!

You were forcing my mommy to leave me, and you even tried to hit her.”

Realizing they had heard everything, Jian Shihai’s face suddenly became more colorful than a palette.

Lu Youting looked at Jian Si’s strong effort to hold back tears and felt an inexplicable pain clutching at his heart.

He took Jian Si’s hand, his voice softer than ever before, “You are right, not all parents deserve to be parents, nor do all parents love their children.”

Jian Si hadn’t wanted to cry.

She had held back her tears for a long time, but upon hearing Lu Youting’s words, her defenses broke down.

The tears flowed uncontrollably, as though she wanted to cry out all her grievances at once.

The more she cried, the grimmer Lu Youting’s expression became, his heart seared with pain as if scorched by hot oil.
