Chapter 324: Forgot to Introduce Myself
Shirley glanced at them and walked straight toward home, supporting Aunt Qian and taking the two children with her. Her parents and brother and sister-in-law from the Yu Family were furious, ready to confront her.
"Our dad, mom, and me, your sister-in-law, we’ve all apologized to you. What more do you want? Back then, if we didn’t sever ties with you, not only would we be unable to lift our heads in the brigade, but your nieces and nephews would also be ridiculed. They were so young, could you really bear it? Over the years, our parents haven’t neglected to visit you, but wasn’t it you who failed to live up to expectations, becoming a leper staying at Laizi’s house? If that rubbed off on us, how could the Yu Family end up well? Now that you’ve managed to get by, and us brothers no longer need to earn work points and can get salaries, can’t you just let bygones be bygones and look ahead?"
"Let bygones be bygones? Why should I let it go? It wasn’t you who got beaten and scolded; it wasn’t you who was abandoned and ignored. Why didn’t you speak up for me when I suffered, but now that you see me having a good life, you suddenly show up. Who do you think you are? Family severance papers have already been signed; why are you meddling in my life again? What exactly do you want?"
Suddenly, Shirley exploded with anger. If it had been someone else, perhaps she could have remained calm, but the person speaking was her older brother. He used to treat her quite well, being the kindest person in the family to her. Before she married into the Xu Laizi’s house, she had sought his help.
Thinking she could either manage to get a letter of introduction or beg, which would surely be better than marrying Xu Laizi.
Yet, before she could return home to wait, he gathered the family and had her locked up. She could never forget the night before her wedding, locked in a room, how desperately she cried and begged, and how cold they were to her.
Qian Chengwang, seeing Shirley so heartbroken, felt a profound ache. Ever since he met her, she had always been strong, independent, and positive, and he had never seen her so sad before.
"You’ve had enough. Shirley said it already, you have signed the family severance papers. Legally, you have no relationship anymore. She’s marrying into the Qian Family next month, she’ll be under the household register of the Qian Family, with no relation to you. If you still come here to harass her, I will call the police."
