Chapter 217 - 217: Father Cheng and Mother Cheng
Lily had the blood of a wizard. She was destined to be more than just an ordinary person unless someone could seal her energy, but it would only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.
Therefore, Yunbao decided to be Lily’s teacher for the time being and teach her how to use her energy to become a junior witch.
As the youngest person in the family, Yunbao was very happy that she could become a teacher. She took out 100% of her enthusiasm to teach Lily. Although Purple Eye had helped a lot in the process, Yunbao thought that she had the talent to be a teacher.
Cheng Xi finally relaxed in this environment. Even if there was no official divorce now, it was still a beautiful life that she did not dare to imagine.
As for Devon’s request to see the child, she rejected all of them. She couldn’t let him appear in front of Lily again. It would be best if they never met again.
Such a good day was so good that Cheng Xi thought she had a beautiful dream and knew that her parents had come looking for her.
Father and Mother Cheng had been traveling overseas previously and had only set off back after hearing about their daughter. However, they were not here to make a decision for their daughter. They were here to persuade Cheng Xi not to divorce Devon.
Mother Cheng said, “You even have a child. If you get a divorce, you won’t be able to find such a good person. I think he treats you quite well usually. It’s common for husband and wife to quarrel. You can’t get a divorce because of this.
Cheng Xi was furious and said, “Mom, that wasn’t a husband-and-wife quarrel at all. I was forced to marry him from the beginning. He hit and scolded me and Lily at every turn. It’s impossible for me to continue living with him.”
Father Cheng said with a straight face, “Don’t spout nonsense here. We’ve already seen Devon. He said that he didn’t touch you at all. You can’t slander someone just because you want a divorce.”
“I’m your biological daughter. Instead of believing me, you believe an outsider.” Cheng Xi’s eyes were filled with tears. “I’ve been living worse than a dog all these years, but you actually want me to go back and be with him.”
Father Cheng didn’t care about Cheng Xi’s tears at all. “Devon gave us so many gifts during the holidays. They’re all precious things that can save face. You don’t know how to cherish such a good husband. If others find out that you’re divorced, I don’t know how they’ll laugh at our family.”
Mother Cheng chimed in, “Lily is already so old. If you bear with it for a little longer, this life will be over. Are you going to be a second time married wife?” Cheng Xi saw her parents’ attitude clearly. She wiped the tears off her face and said, “No matter what you say, I have to leave Devon. It’s not like I have to get married. I’ll live with Lily in the future.”
Father Cheng stood up and roared, “Our Cheng family doesn’t have such an embarrassing daughter like you. If you want a divorce, don’t come back.”
Cheng Xi looked at her parents coldly and said, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t go back.”
Facing her daughter’s determined attitude, Father and Mother Cheng were furious. They turned to look at Gu Teng and said, “Miss Gu, you’re also a married person. Help us persuade her.”
Gu Teng fully supported Cheng Xi’s divorce. She was already furious after hearing those words just now. How could she persuade Cheng Xi not to get a divorce?
She said with a cold expression, “Since Cheng Xi said that she wants a divorce, she definitely can’t live on. I won’t persuade her.”
Cheng Xi looked at Gu Teng gratefully and said firmly, “I’ve already made my intentions very clear. I’m definitely getting a divorce.”
Lily looked at her grandparents and mother, who were at each other’s throats, and said, “Grandpa, Grandma, Daddy really treats Mommy badly.”
Mother Cheng did not look at Lily kindly. “If you help your mother, you will be a wild child without a father in the future.”
Lily had been beaten since she was young. She had only become a little more cheerful in the past few days. When she heard her grandmother’s harsh accusation, she was so frightened that she hid behind Cheng Xi.
Cheng Xi protected the child and said, “You don’t have to scare the child here. I’m getting a divorce.”
Father and Mother Cheng made a scene. “Our Cheng family has never had such an embarrassing thing happen.”
Yunbao listened to their argument and said, “Is a divorce embarrassing? Then there’s no need to get a divorce if you didn’t get married in the first place, right?”
Yunbao’s three-year-old brain could not understand the logic of an adult. She only relied on her simple thoughts to ask. Her tone and expression were the naivety of a child.
However, everyone was stunned when they heard this. According to the logic of Father and Mother Cheng about divorce being embarrassing, Yunbao’s question was indeed very reasonable
Father Cheng said angrily, “There’s no place for children to interrupt here..”
