The Final Settlement (3)

.The hall manager's smile grew even warmer. "Miss Lin, don't be embarrassed. I'm delighted to be of service to you!"This statement carried a subtle magic that soothed the soul, wondrously calming Lin...Mother He was speechless at once.

The third daughter-in-law let out another cold snort. "Second sister-in-law's face, it seems like she's one who is aloof. The old lady thinks that by guarding those things, she can rest assured Be careful, you know, she has entered a den of wolves. With second sister-in-law's methods, she will coax all the things from Mother in the future, just wait and see what kind of face she will have! Hmph, these years, I have served Mother for so long, I truly care for her, in the future, if Mother follows me, I will treat her well. But second sister-in-law has only been with Mother for a short time, yet Mother would rather believe second sister-in-law than me. Hmph, fine, this is the path the old lady has chosen herself. In the future, whatever happens, she will have to bear it herself, I don't care anymore. In short, I have said what I wanted to say today. After I tidy up and leave this house, everyone should just shut their doors and live their own lives, other people's affairs have nothing to do with me!"

When Mother He heard this, her heart felt uneasy. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing the third daughter-in-law's angry expression, she sighed inwardly and swallowed all the words she was about to say, then left!

Alright, that's it then. Since the family is split, let each person take care of their own doorstep.

To be honest, what the old woman did was truly heartbreaking. Over the years, she had been the most filial in front of the old woman, second only to none. The second daughter-in-law followed her husband in official duties, and the third daughter-in-law followed her husband in business, but she alone served the old woman before and after, taking care of all the big and small things in the house. The old woman was a master at managing affairs with just her mouth; everything she ordered ultimately fell on her shoulders. Yet, she never expected the old woman to be so indifferent to past feelings. When the family divided, she took all the private property and moved it all to the second son's house.

Oh!

Mother He must have had some waves in her heart. But thinking back to her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, and then about that wicked daughter, she didn't say a word.

Okay, let them go. Sell off the family assets, divide them up. She'll take her share and that will be that.

While the He family was bustling with the process of settling their assets, He Zhansu quietly left with his wife and daughter.

Before, he decided to divorce his wife and daughter so as not to burden them. He even submitted a report and the approved document came down. However, because of Rong Ling's promise to give the He family a way out, he changed his mind.

This way, he divorced his wife, and he didn't want to. After all, it was his wife whom he had fallen in love with during their free-love relationship. There was true love between them. Although he was momentarily blinded and lost his heart, deep down, he didn't want to divorce her. That's why when Xiaoru was pregnant, he tried every means possible to delay the divorce.

People say that adversity makes people grow. After what He Jia experienced, Rong Ling's harsh wake-up call made He Zhanxu truly mature. He was not willing to let this marriage end like this. In life, who hasn't done one or two foolish things To give up just like that would be too pathetic. So, he directly found Li YiPing and forcefully told her,

Yiping, I applied to be transferred to a remote location, and I probably won't be coming back. I want to take you and our daughter with me. From now on, it will just be the three of us—no grandma, no other relatives. In this home, you'll be the one in charge, your word is law, I'll do everything you say. I also swear to you, for the rest of my life, I won't let you down again, or else, I'll shoot myself. Give me a chance to redeem myself, and give Bingbing a chance too. Our daughter is still young; she needs a complete family. Both you and I want to watch her grow up happily and joyfully. Yiping, I can't bear to be apart from you, and I can't bear to be apart from our daughter. Come with me, I won't let go of you!

He hasn't displayed this kind of dominance in such a long time. Not even back when he, under pressure from Old Madam He, insisted on marrying her.

This kind of dominance allowed Li Yiping to see a different He Zhanshu. Her already restless heart became even more agitated.

Because there have been changes, I can't help but feel hopeful!

“You can’t bear to part with me!” He once again forcefully trapped her between the wall and his arms, staring deeply into her eyes. “If you can’t bear it, why not give it another try (..tw no pop-up ads) In this life, there's no one who hasn't made mistakes. Give me a chance, give yourself a chance. And think about our poor daughter, think about her, how pitiful she would be without a father. How much ridicule will she suffer in the future…”

“Dad!” At last, Bingbing, who had been biting the end of her pencil, threw it down and rushed over to hug both Li Yiping and He Zhanshu.

"Mom—"

She cried and joined the ranks of those who were advising him.

"Baby wants Mommy and Daddy, Baby doesn't want to be an orphan, Mommy, Mommy..."

Big and small, you said one sentence I said one, one domineering and gentle coexist, the other with tears as an attack. In the end, Li Yiping was defeated. The dress He Zhanxu gave her before, she tried it on, it fit exceptionally well, and especially suited her. It turned out that his memory still contained her size, her appearance, it seemed he hadn't completely forgotten her.

He brought her those antiques, but she wasn't interested in their value. What she saw was the thoughtfulness this man had for her and her mother. According to what her former mother-in-law told her over the phone, there were only a few valuable antiques in their family. He single-handedly took away three of the most precious ones without hesitation. This kind of heart, she should cherish it well.He Zhansu was a good catch – handsome and wealthy. A man like him would never lack for women. If he didn't truly care for her, those three antiques would have been more than enough for him to live a carefree life and find another beautiful woman of substance.

But he didn't.

"In the past, I did many wrong things. After going through so much, I've also opened up. I'm getting old, so I shouldn't reach out that far anymore. From now on, you and Zhanshu should live a good life together. He told us that he died in front of me and his father, and this lifetime will be yours. If we can't make things right with you, then this lifetime will be single. Ah, it was my fault as a mother, I was confused by the old woman and...and the little girl, so I did such a thing. Zhanshu has always been filial, and all of us elders have been talking about wanting a grandson for a long time, so over time, it will affect him. And after the relationship with Rongling deteriorated, we secretly said many bad things about you in front of Zhanshu. Hearing this, he would also be influenced. Men are hard to control their lower body, and women chase men across layers of gauze. This woman is determined and skilled, rubbing against that man relentlessly, and few men remain unaffected. I didn't know it before, but he and Xiaoru were like that, and they even planned to have Xiaoru give birth to a son, and then you would raise him and recognize you as his mother. That way, it would cut off my path, and the desire for grandchildren from you and Grandma would also be avoided, saving you from our constant disapproval and cold treatment. You said this child, isn't he a little silly I saw through it, my son truly has feelings for you in his heart, so, please consider carefully again whether to get back together with my son. Yi Ping, marriage is a matter of two people, and marriage also requires effort. I admit that I and Zhanshu's grandmother have caused great damage to your marriage, and I also admit that Zhanshu has deeply wronged you, but Yi Ping, haven't you also failed in this marriage, lacking some care for Zhanshu I might say something unpleasant, please don't get angry immediately, think carefully. What I want is that the two of you aren't yet divorced because I can feel that both of you still haven't let go of each other. And you still have Bingbing between you. If there's still a chance to reconcile, then reconcile, don't wrong the child. Mom will say one more thing that might be unpleasant, after Zhanshu went through this Xiaoru incident, for the rest of his life, you should just put your heart in it, because he will definitely never look at another woman again. Ah, I said too much, think about it carefully. In short, after I talked to Zhanshu, I tell you, no matter how you choose, Bingbing will always be my granddaughter and Zhanshu's daughter. That child, we will definitely take care of her for a lifetime!"

This was He Mother's first genuine act of submission. What she said could be considered very heartfelt.

Li Yiping had anger, resentment, grievances, and unwillingness. However, what He Ma said still made her chew on it over and over again. There was one point that He Ma said right, marriage is a two-person affair, and marriage also needs to be managed. Looking back, in this marriage, she had indeed done some things wrong. She didn't really feel the pressure from He Lao Tai Tai and the entanglement it caused Zhan Shu. When her husband gradually became silent and went to bed after eating at home, she didn't communicate with him in time, but instead blamed herself, feeling that her husband didn't care about her enough. But in the world, how much had she cared for him!

What if, at the time, she had been able to speak her mind honestly Would things have turned out differently What if she had shown her strength earlier, instead of constantly accommodating Mrs. He and others Perhaps the situation would have been completely different!

She thought a lot, for a long time, but what came wasn't He Zhanxu arriving early as he had promised to get the divorce papers. Instead, it was his domineering declaration of ownership, and after finishing the declaration, repeatedly domineeringly inserting himself into her life, acting as a good father, good husband, good man.

He submitted that kind of job transfer application, and most of his current duties were handed over. He just waited to see which place needed him in the end, and then went there. So, he had more free time. He basically stayed here with her, and she couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard she tried. She was still preparing for job applications, and he watched on, not stopping her. Only when she went to interviews did he follow closely behind. When she returned home, he started doing housework, accompanying his daughter with homework, and even learning to cook. He looked like he was determined to become a full-time house husband. It was really hard for him, such a tall and strong man, but he wore a woman's apron and bent over in the kitchen, clumsily handling pots and pans. What he made wasn't too salty, or too bland, sometimes burnt, sometimes half-cooked. He could even frown at it, silently eliminating it himself. At night, she didn't keep him company, but this man was like a persistent stray dog that couldn't be driven away. She tried every way possible, but she still couldn't get rid of him. He did have some sense and didn't go into the bedroom, but letting his tall frame squeeze onto that small sofa, looking pitiful, she couldn't sleep soundly even though she was lying in bed behind the bedroom door.

It's definitely having an impact!
