Ye Changqing watched the broom coming down, and anger flared in his eyes.
He hadn't settled the score with her for abusing his daughter, and yet she still wanted to attack.
He reached out and snatched the broom away. "Give it to me!"
When Jin Xia saw that Ye Changqing had grabbed the broom, she tried to pull it back forcefully.
However, Ye Changqing was so strong that she lost her balance. She staggered forward a few steps and fell flat on the ground.
There happened to be a pile of dog poop on the ground that hadn't been cleaned up, and she landed right on it. When she raised her head, there were a few stick - like pieces of dog poop sticking to her face.
She felt a rush of heat and reached out to wipe it, only to see that it was dog poop.
Instantly, she became enraged. "Ye Changqing, how dare you snatch the broom! You're outrageous! I'll slap your face to pieces!"
She got up and rushed at Ye Changqing again.
A cold light flashed in Ye Changqing's eyes, and he suddenly raised the broom in his hand.
He looked ready to fight!
Jin Xia's face paled slightly in fear, and she stopped in her tracks.
The reason she wasn't afraid of Ye Changqing before was because of her status as his mother - in - law.
Ye Changqing used to be very filial to her, and she had become accustomed to ordering him around.
Now that Ye Changqing seemed about to really hit her, she was scared.
Jin Youxin grabbed Jin Xia. "Mom, I couldn't beat him. Don't go and make a fool of yourself."
Jin Xia was still reluctant. Relying on her status as the mother - in - law, she shouted, "I don't believe he would dare to touch me!"
Jin Youxin reminded her, "Mom, he's not the same Ye Changqing as before!
Didn't you see how badly I was beaten?"
Suddenly, Jin Xia came to her senses. Looking at Ye Changqing again, she realized that he was indeed different.
Ye Changqing held a broom in one hand, and his aura was intimidating, as if he was ready to fight to the death.
Remembering that Ye Changqing had just come out of prison, she suddenly became afraid. A person who came out of prison, even if he used to be good, might have turned bad now.
Ye Changqing walked up to her and stared at her, scolding angrily, "Before, you were my mother - in - law.
Even when you were being completely unreasonable, bullying others too much, and making trouble for no reason, I tolerated it.
I have now signed a divorce agreement with Jin Yurong, and you are just a stranger to me!
How dare you act so shamelessly?"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised the broom.
Jin Xia shrank her neck in fear and hurriedly backed away. She tripped over something and fell to the ground again.
She didn't have time to stand up. She covered her head with her hands, closed her eyes, and shouted randomly, "Don't hit me! Don't hit me... I won't do it again..."
After waiting for a long time, she didn't feel the broom come down.
She opened her eyes and found that Ye Changqing had long disappeared.
Ye Changqing left, holding Lingling. "Lingling, from now on, Dad will protect you, and no one will dare to bully you again."
Lingling looked up at Ye Changqing with her small face and dark, shiny eyes. "Can you also protect Grandpa and Grandma?"
Ye Changqing felt a pang of sadness. This girl must have seen her grandparents being bullied. He stroked Lingling's small head.
In a very firm tone, he said, "I can also protect Grandpa and Grandma."
Lingling hugged Ye Changqing and kissed him on the cheek. "Sure enough, TV doesn't lie. Dads are heroes."
Ye Changqing felt even more guilty. He had owed so much over the past three years. Today, he had only done a small thing, yet his daughter regarded him as a hero.
In fact, he hadn't even made up one ten - thousandth of what he owed.
He suddenly wanted to do more for his daughter and asked softly, "Daughter, do you have any wishes?"
He was ready to do anything for his daughter.
As long as his daughter asked, whether it cost a lot of money or even risked his life,
as long as it could make his daughter happy, he was willing to do it today!
Lingling tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Take Lingling to school.
Lingling wants the whole class to know that I have a dad, too."
Going to school...
Ye Changqing murmured. He didn't expect his daughter's wish to be so simple.
"Okay, I promise. Dad will take you to school tomorrow.
And every day from now on."
The next day.
The weather was fine.
Ye Changqing carried Lingling to school. At the school gate, Ye Changqing kissed Lingling on the cheek.
He bent down to put her down and waved goodbye. "You go in."
Lingling stretched out her small hand and grabbed Ye Changqing's clothes. With her big, black - grape - like eyes, she stared at Ye Changqing and acted coquettishly. "Dad, don't go.
You just stand still. Lingling wants to introduce you to all the kids in Class One.
Let them all know that Lingling has a dad."
Ye Changqing glanced at the time. It was almost eight o'clock.
He had an appointment with Jin Yurong to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau at eight o'clock to handle the divorce procedures. It was too late to send Lingling to school.
If he continued to stay and meet all the kids with Lingling, it would be even later.
But looking at his daughter's hopeful eyes, he felt that nothing else mattered.
He immediately nodded in agreement. "Okay, Dad will listen to Lingling. Remember, if anyone asks what Dad's job is, you say he's a doctor."
Being a doctor is a relatively respected profession.
He wanted his daughter to be proud of him.
At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Jin Yurong got out of her sports car and looked around but didn't see Ye Changqing.
She took out her phone, ready to call, but then remembered that she didn't have Ye Changqing's number.
She stood and waited for a while, but still didn't see Ye Changqing come. She suddenly became worried. "After signing the divorce agreement, did he calm down and regret it?"
Looking at the divorce agreement in her hand, her face showed determination. "It's too late to regret it now!"
After waiting for another ten minutes and still not seeing anyone, she directly started the car, preparing to drive to Shajing Village to find Ye Changqing. Even if she had to drag him, she would bring him here.
This divorce was going to happen.
Just as she started the car, she turned off the engine again.
She didn't want to face Ye Changqing's parents, and she didn't want to hear them say that she didn't care about Lingling.
She also didn't want to see Lingling. Every time the girl cried, it made her very annoyed.
As time passed by, an hour had gone by, and she completely lost her patience. She started the car again.
Just then, a taxi stopped.
The door opened, and Ye Changqing got out.
Finally, he's here!
Jin Yurong was so angry that she threw her car keys onto the passenger seat and shouted at Ye Changqing, "Ye Changqing, what do you mean?
I'm the company president now. Do you know how valuable my time is?
I've been waiting here for a whole hour!"
Ye Changqing had just met all of his daughter's classmates and a few parents, and he was in a good mood. When he heard Jin Yurong say this, anger immediately flared up in his heart, and he replied coldly, "I had something to do this morning!"
Something to do?
Jin Yurong said angrily, "What could you, a newly - released convict, possibly have to do?
I'm the company president. The whole company depends on me!
Are you as busy as I am?"
Ye Changqing became angry when he heard this. "Yes, you're the company president. It's enough for you to have the company. You don't want your daughter, and you don't need to send her to school.
I'm different from you.
I need to send my daughter to school."
Send your daughter to school?
Jin Yurong was stunned for a moment. She had forgotten about that. Then her face turned livid. Was he mocking her for not wanting Lingling?
Instantly, she became furious. "Ye Changqing, even if you send your daughter to school, school starts at eight o'clock.
What time is it now?
Don't use your child as an excuse.
Aren't you just deliberately stalling and not wanting to get divorced?
We're all adults. Do you think this will work?"
Ye Changqing was angry when he heard this. If it weren't for Lingling wanting to introduce him to a late - arriving classmate, he would have been here long ago.
He didn't expect that when he finally arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, this woman thought he didn't want to get divorced!
Even if Ye Changqing had thoughts of not wanting to divorce to maintain his family and for his daughter's sake,
but seeing Jin Yurong like this, he completely gave up on that idea.
Without saying a word, he walked directly towards the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He just wanted to get the procedures done quickly.
Jin Yurong saw that Ye Changqing was leaving without saying a word and shouted, "Stop!
I know what you're thinking. You think that now I'm the company president, I'm beautiful, and I make money.
If you don't divorce, you'll have money to spend and can live off me.
If you divorce, you might not even be able to find a wife.
You just want to hold on and not divorce.
Did I hit the nail on the head? Don't walk away. Stop!"
Ye Changqing walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau. Hearing her still talking self - righteously, he turned around and roared, "Jin Yurong, shut up!
I'm already in the Civil Affairs Bureau!
Isn't it a divorce?
Hurry up and do the procedures!!!"
