The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Panda Novel

Xiao Yaojing pulled her father’s sleeve agitatedly.

Mr. Xiao quickly interjected, “Feiran, why are you being so rude?”

“You too, Cheng Xin, what are you doing in this in-laws meeting?” Mr. Wen asserted hastily as well.

Xiao Yaojing and Wen Tao exchanged glances. They felt that this meeting had advanced in a peculiar direction.

“What in-laws? Have I agreed to anything?” Mrs. Wen slapped the table and stood up abruptly.

“And you think I agree to any of this?” Mrs. Xiao got to her feet as well. “You are just a stepmother, don’t you think you are being too braggy?”

“Look at the pot calling the kettle black. It’s ridiculous to see you gloat about this. Why, did Mu Qishao dump you?” Mrs. Wen sneered mockingly.

“If not for you, Cheng Xin, we would still be together, you little boyfriend stealer!” Mrs. Xiao shouted angrily.

“Darn it, Sun Feiran! Who was the real boyfriend stealer then? I think you know better than I do.”

The others were dumbfounded.

“Erm, who is Mu Qishao?” Mr. Wen and Mr. Xiao asked quietly. They were both shaken by the loud debate.

“What does it have to do with you?” Both mothers yelled at the same time and the room trembled slightly.

Both fathers were shocked and became as quiet as mice.

Xiao Yaojing rested her head lifelessly on the table. She looked at the two women that had been quarreling from when they were toddlers all the way to junior high school graduation and shifted her gaze to PA Wen who had an equally lifeless expression. She pulled out her phone.

[Yaojing: Extra! Extra! Breaking news!

Yezi: What the hell? Aren’t the parents meeting tonight?

Yaojing: [voice message]

Yezi: They are fighting?

Yaojing: My mother and my future mother-in-law are fighting about their boyfriend in junior high school, and now they are arguing about the ancient question of who was the boyfriend stealer.

Yezi: Your mom and PA Wen’s mother were in the same junior high school, and they were in a love triangle? What epic news!

Yaojing: Right? I feel like if I stay any longer, I’ll be pulled into this mess as well.

Yezi: There’s been a series of unfortunate events lately and this is the most entertaining by far. Let me laugh for a bit longer, please.]

“Xiao Yaojing, I’m warning you, don’t you even think about getting married into their family!” Mrs. Xiao aimed her verbal cannon at her daughter.

“Wen Tao, you have my permission to marry any woman in the world but if you want to marry her daughter, it will be over my dead body!” Mrs. Wen howled furiously. She pulled her husband and stormed away.

“Hey, Mom—”

Wen Tao and Xiao Yaojing looked at the people who had left the place, then looked at each other.

“You didn’t tell me your mom is from Liu County,” Xiao Yaojing said finally.

Wen Tao looked like he was wrongly accused. “You didn’t tell me your mom is from Liu County either. How should I know that they have such a gigantic grudge against each other?”

Xiao Yaojing sighed, “What now? We haven’t even eaten anything yet.”

“Hmm, why don’t we eat first?” Wen Tao suggested.

“Great minds think alike.” Xiao Yaojing took a seat instantly.

Wen Tao sat down quietly beside Xiao Yaojing. He asked nervously, “Jingjing, you won’t break up with me just because of this, right? This is not our last supper, right?”

Xiao Yaojing looked at Wen Tao looked rather anxious, and in her opinion, adorable.

“What if I want to break up?” Xiao Yaojing asked teasingly.

“Xiao Yaojing, you can’t just walk away after what you did to me, that is very bad behavior. You can’t do that!” PA Wen jumped up in bewilderment, his voice loud.

Was it easy for him to get this woman?

Now that he thought about it, it didn’t seem so hard, but he wouldn’t let her walk away so easily!
