In the end, Wen Li was forced to divorce him.
During the divorce, Wen Li did not take away his property nor did she take away anything that belonged to the Zhang Family. Her only request was to take Zhang Xiao away. He simply did not allow Wen Li to take Zhang Xiao away. She said that Zhang Xiao was his daughter and had to stay in the Zhang Family.
On that day, the torrential rain poured down.
Wen Li dragged her luggage and left while crying.
Zhang Xiao chased after her mother and was stopped by a few servants under his command.
Zhang Xiao screamed at the top of her lungs, as if he did not hear anything. She looked coldly at Wen Li, who was forced to separate herself from his daughter. Only then did he realise that he had long blamed Wen Li, and was subconsciously taking revenge on her. He even destroyed everything that belonged to Wen Li, except for an album that was tightly held by Zhang Xiao.
He had even fallen out with the Wen Family and cut off contact between Zhang Xiao and the Wen Family, to the point where the current Zhang Xiao was unable to contact her uncles who were far away in the Canada.
The divorced Wen Li went abroad to relax was actually returning to her parents' home. Who would have known that she would run into an aerial disaster and not be able to find her corpse? From then on, Zhang Xiao hated him. She hated him, this cold and ruthless father, for indirectly causing her mother's death.
This hatred, was precisely from the Twenty-Two.
Before, he didn't care.
He really didn't care whether his daughter loved him or hated him, because he had two sons that Ling Hong Yu had given him, and an outstanding stepson like Yi Xiu Jie.
Now...
Perhaps it was because he had grown older, or perhaps it was because more than twenty years had passed. He slowly calmed his heart and began to ponder, 'Was I too heartless back then?' He didn't love Wen Li, but they had known each other for many years. He knew that woman, and she was a woman who was full of love, yet also acted with fairness.
If she didn't really love him, she wouldn't have married him right at the beginning of his heartbreak. She wanted to use her love to heal his pain. Would she really force Ling Hong Yu to leave him like Ling Hong Yu had said?
"Xiao Er..." Zhang Hao Tian, who was lost in her memories, revealed a bit of fatherly love, and probed while extending his hand, wanting to touch this daughter that he had neglected for over twenty years.
Zhang Xiao avoided the big hand that he stretched out, causing his hand to freeze in midair.
"Speak, what do you want to talk about with me? About going home? As I said, I will not go back, I am no longer the young miss of your Zhang Family. I'm sure you remember what you said nine years ago."
"Xiao Er, Father is... Dad said that in a fit of anger."
Zhang Xiao laughed coldly, "You should get back to business."
Only after staring at her for two minutes did Zhang Hao Tian manage to control his emotions and requested, "Listen to father, go back with father and don't stay in Mu Family to be the nanny. Ning Zhi Yuan said a few words to Father today, so Father is worried that he will harm you. Believe it or not, Dad is doing it for you."
Pausing, he continued, "Dad is not forcing you to go out with him. Dad understands his personality, and if he didn't fall in love with you, you wouldn't be happy. Therefore, Father will not force you. Xiao Er, Father said those words from the bottom of his heart. Although Hongyu proposed this marriage, she was also considering it for your sake. With our family's conditions, to be able to match up to you, Ning Zhi Yuan is indeed a good candidate. But Dad never nodded. Furthermore, last year's incident where father had his car accident, caused the relationship between our Zhang Family and Ning Family to be broken down. Ning Zhi Yuan has always been a burden to father in his business life, and was opposing father. Your Aunt Hongyu only wanted to improve the current stiff relationship between our two families, purely for the sake of our Zhang Family, don't blame her wrongly."
While talking, Zhang Hao Tian pulled Ling Hong Yu out and did his best to protect Ling Hong Yu.
Zhang Xiao sarcastically said, "That's right, she did her best to help you and help you out. She did this all for the sake of the Zhang Family and for my happiness."What a hilarious person. She's doing this for my own good. She was just borrowing my strength to kill me. She really wanted me to die..."
"Zhang Xiao!"
Zhang Xiao's words made Zhang Hao Tian furious, "Hongyu has been good to you for so many years, it's fine if you don't accept his, but you're still slandering her. Have you ever seen a stepmother as good as her? She treats you as if you were her own, and you..."
"Enough!"
Zhang Xiao growled, "Her good, I can't accept it. Please go back and tell her, I, Zhang Xiao, don't want her to be good to me! I know what she did to me, you defended her, I understand, you killed my mother for her, for her, what else can you not do? Wasn't it just her that wanted to marry me to Ning Zhi Yuan, so she wanted to use Ning Zhi Yuan's hands to kill me? "She's a bitch, wicked woman!"
"Pah!"
Zhang Hao Tian reached out and slapped Zhang Xiao's face.
Zhang Xiao's words came to a sudden halt, as she stared at the man in front of her coldly.
She should have known that no matter when, no matter what happened, he would always defend that woman.
"Xiao Er..."
When Zhang Hao Tian made a move and slapped his daughter, he was also startled for a moment, and then shouted apologetically.
"Nine years ago, you slapped me across the face and pointed at the door to tell me to scram. After nine years, you still slapped me over." Zhang Xiao did not cry, nor did she cover her face. She only spoke with an extremely calm tone, and the gaze she gave Zhang Hao Tian became colder and colder, "Thank you for using another slap to wake me up!"
With that, she turned and walked away, not back, but towards her bicycle. She unlocked it and began to push it.
Zhang Hao Tian had not even called her a few times, so she shouldn't have, much less turned his head back.
After walking out of the hospital, Zhang Xiao rode her bicycle and rushed forward desperately. She still did not cry, but her heart was still in pain.
She didn't know where she was going, so she just kept on riding.
There were fewer and fewer people on the street, which meant that it was getting late.
People began to fall into a deep sleep.
However, there were also people who woke up from their slumber and it was Little Mu Ya.
A few days after Zhang Xiao brought her along, she had already recovered from her slumber. However, tonight, she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.
When she opened her eyes, she habitually opened her mouth and called out, "Mom, Mom."
Unable to get Zhang Xiao's response, she immediately started to cry. Then she rolled off the bed, crawled to the edge of the bed, and slid down on her bare feet, crying out to her mother as she walked to the door. She knew she had to turn the handle to open the door, but she couldn't reach it, and there was nothing she could do but cry out for her mother as she lay on the floor.
"Mommy..." "Mom..."
Mu Ya's small hand slapped on the door and continued to cry for her mother.
