Xia Mengying followed Xia Dahai, and the two found a quiet cafe near the hospital.
Because it is near the hospital, even during dinner time, there are very few people in the cafe. Everyone is sitting here and there, and their voices are very soft.
"Tell me, why do you want to come out to me?"
Xia Mengying looked at the steaming signature coffee in front of her. As she loves sweetness, she did not add sugar or coconut milk. The strong bitter taste could be smelled in the air. She sat up straight and looked at the person sitting opposite.
Xia Dahai's polite but distant tone made it impossible for anyone to detect the tenderness between father and daughter.
"What's your attitude? Do you still think of me as your father?"
Xia Mengying bit her lip and said nothing, picked up the spoon on the side, lowered her head to stir the coffee in front of her, as if she didn't hear Xia Dahai's scolding, and turned a blind eye to his angry look.
If to her, he was just a dispensable stranger, if she didn't have him as a father in her heart, she wouldn't be so uncomfortable now. The painful feeling was as if someone had cut out her own body with a knife.
A piece of flesh was cut off from her body, and the pain was so painful that she could hardly breathe.
At this time, how could he still accuse her with confidence? Who did she become like this because of?
"Who is the man who sent you to the hospital? He has no education at all. You are not allowed to associate with him in the future."
Xia Dahai ordered with a straight face.
Xia Mengying's hand holding the spoon paused, she looked up at Xia Dahai, raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Why should I listen to you?" In this situation, what right did he have to interfere with her making friends?
"He has a name. His name is Ning Ziqian. He is the most educated man I have ever seen. It's very rude to call others that man or that man."
Xia Mengying bit her lip tightly and stared at Xia Dahai with wide eyes. Her words were clear and her red face looked a little angry. I wonder if it was out of rebellious psychology. Xia Dahai's misunderstanding and dissatisfaction with Ning Ziqian made her
She felt very disgusted in her heart.
"If you are told not to interact with him, then don't interact with him!" Xia Dahai's attitude was tough.
"Impossible!" Xia Mengying stared at Xia Dahai for a moment, refusing to give in at all.
"Is an ordinary friend more important than a biological father?"
"He is a good man. At least, he has never caused harm to me or my mother."
Xia Dahai was speechless and glared at Xia Mengying for a long time with a cold face. Seeing that she had no intention of compromising, he snorted with dissatisfaction. After thinking about it, he changed the subject. As a father, he knew very well that his daughter's
He has a much tougher temper than his wife.
"What did your mother say to you in the ward just now? Did she tell you how to handle things with me?"
He originally wanted to ask Fang Jingyi if he had mentioned divorce to her, but seeing Xia Mengying's attitude, he changed his approach to a more tactful way.
"Yeah, I said it."
Xia Mengying responded casually, her hand holding the coffee spoon gradually tightened, and her eyes were gradually filled with light mist. She couldn't understand why she had to hold back her tears like this. That person was herself.
Father, the person closest to her in the world, shouldn't she, as a daughter, cry and express her grievances at this time? But why can't she do it? Xia Mengying slowly raised her head and looked at the earnest face.
Xia Dahai stared at him nervously, "Divorce, my mother said so, and her attitude is very firm."
Xia Dahai's face was already ugly, but when he heard the word divorce, his face immediately turned green.
"She really said that to you?" Xia Dahai was a little flustered. If both Fang Jingyi and Xia Mengying said this, they would most likely have made up their minds. This was somewhat different from what he expected, let alone what he wanted.
result.
"What about your attitude?" Seeing Xia Mengying's cold face and not speaking, Xia Dahai felt even more panicked, and continued, "Mengmeng, the only woman in my father's heart is your mother. When I first married your mother, I
I swear in my heart that I will become a rich person and let your mother live a good life. I will never be looked down upon by others. I am working so hard outside just for you. I know I am sorry for your mother.
But I also have my difficulties. For so many years, I have been trapped between your mother and grandma. I have my helplessness, but I have never thought about divorcing your mother, let alone letting another woman take her place.
With her status, Mengmeng, are you willing to see your father and mother divorce?"
Xia Dahai said it sincerely. Seeing him like this, Xia Mengying felt pity for him and couldn't help but feel soft. In the past twenty years, although Xia Dahai rarely accompanied her, they had been living together after all, and their relationship was still very deep.
Daughter, she naturally does not want her father and mother to divorce.
"Your mother cares about you the most, and you are the first thing she considers in whatever she does. If you stand with your father and firmly oppose our divorce, she will definitely not divorce."
"You want to use me to coerce mom?"
Xia Mengying had just sympathized with Xia Dahai and felt that her previous request to return 30% of the shares and the Clearwater Bay villa was a bit excessive. Xia Dahai's words directly made her eyes red with anger.
How nice would it be if the person sitting in front of me was just a stranger?
Yes, Fang Jingyi cares about her and regards her as her lifeblood. If she makes a fuss and says that she can't bear the title of the eldest lady of the Xia family and wants a complete family, then threatens Fang Jingyi to cut off her mother and daughter if she divorces her.
Regarding relationships, she could predict that Fang Jingyi would definitely compromise.
"Do you want me to kill mom with you?"
After a long time, Xia Mengying spoke coldly. When she said this, her heart felt cold, and the blood that was originally flowing seemed to have condensed into ice cubes.
"If you really cared about my mother's feelings, you wouldn't have had a younger brother after I had an older sister, and you wouldn't still be entangled with their family until now."
"Yes, it's very difficult for you to be caught between grandma and mother. Don't we understand it enough? It's not like you haven't seen how grandma has treated us over the years. What else do you want us to do? What you call helplessness is to be with others.
Do women secretly start a family outside and then have children? Just because I'm not a boy? My mother had a massive hemorrhage when she gave birth to me and can't carry another child? She didn't want to, and this matter hurt her more than anyone else. Why do you guys
Can't you forgive me? It's true that grandma is your mother. She did endure a lot of hardships to raise you. What about my mother? Like you, I was raised by my mother who endured all the hardships. You dare not violate it*
**Wish, I will not do anything to make my mother sad and desperate. Has she not paid enough for you all these years? Hasn’t she endured enough? Why can’t you think about it for us from our perspective?
?”
She was very angry and wanted to get angry, but when she looked at Xia Dahai, her outburst of anger turned into deep helplessness and deep despair.
