Qiao Zhishu's legs felt like they were filled with lead. He wanted to move forward, but found that he couldn't lift them up at all.
When Mrs. Xing heard this, she didn't quite understand what Mother Qiao meant.
"Do you want them to divorce?"
Mother Qiao was sitting upright, not even daring to raise her head. She had her hands clasped together. Even though Mrs. Xing was polite when talking to her, she always felt that everyone was superior to her.
"Yes, something so sudden happened at the engagement party. I believe Qiaoqiao...she wouldn't want it either."
This scene was completely beyond Mrs. Xing's expectation.
"If she doesn't want to, she probably won't be able to get the marriage certificate."
After hearing this, Qiao's mother believed Chen Ying's words even more.
"The candidate we agreed on for the engagement at the beginning was actually Yingying..."
Mrs. Xing lightly traced her fingers on the edge of the tea cup, with a slight displeasure in her eyes.
She doesn't need to say more about Xing Huo's excellence. The greatest achievement of Mrs.
When the housekeeper saw Qiao Zhishu frozen in place, she took the lead and took a step forward, "Madam, the young lady is here."
Qiao's mother looked obviously relieved. She was so overwhelmed by Mrs. Xing's momentum that it was almost difficult to breathe. "Qiao Qiao."
Qiao Zhishu came to the sofa and greeted Mrs. Xing first.
"mom."
Mrs. Xing raised her eyes slightly and motioned for Qiao Zhishu to sit down, "I called Xing Huo and asked him to come over for dinner later."
"Okay." Qiao Zhishu sat next to Qiao's mother.
Mrs.
Logically speaking, marrying a daughter into a wealthy family is something that such a person would never dare to think about. How could she be willing to let Qiao Zhishu give up?
Qiao Zhishu reluctantly moved the corner of her mouth and looked at her mother next to her.
"Mom, what were you talking about just now?"
Mother Qiao moved, took her hand, and said earnestly: "Qiao Qiao, it was my fault that day. I shouldn't have begged you or forced you to agree to the engagement. I know you were so reluctant.
Now that this matter has passed, you and Xing Huo should get divorced."
Her tone was so urgent that in Qiao Zhishu's ears, it felt like she was dreaming.
Mrs. Xing remained calm, and when Qiao Zhishu raised his eyes, his eyes happened to meet hers.
"Mom, don't you speak regardless of the occasion? Stop talking about this now."
But now that this topic has been raised, Qiao's mother wants an answer.
"Your Xing family must be dissatisfied with this marriage. Xing Huo deserves a better girl with such good conditions."
Every word from Qiao's mother was like a sharpened needle poking into Qiao Zhishu's most vulnerable heart.
After the marriage, Xing Huo had been teaching her how to forget the words "well-matched", but now, Qiao's mother pulled out the humbleness hidden in Qiao Zhishu's heart with just one sentence.
Mrs.
"Qiaoqiao, what do you think? Do you want to divorce Xing Huo?"
Mother Qiao listened and pushed Qiao Zhishu's leg, "Just tell the truth."
Qiao Zhishu is not like Mother Qiao. Living in the Chen family for so many years has made her feel humble, but this feeling of humility is not piercing her bones.
"Mom, I don't want to."
She and Xing Huo are getting along very well now, so why should she get a divorce?
