Chapter 152 - 151 A Masterstroke
An Shuchao looked at his own daughter in shock, "You want me to divorce your stepmother?"
The moment he heard about Bai Xue Mei’s affair, he had thought of countless possibilities, except the idea of divorcing her.
Ever since Bai Xue Mei married him, she had been a gentle wife, treating him and An Ping well, it was just An Hao that she wasn’t good to.
"How come you’re unwilling?" An Hao’s eyes were fixed on him without blinking.
"An Hao, is there some kind of misunderstanding in this matter?" Keeping a family together until now hasn’t been easy, he didn’t want to simply break it apart. If Bai Xue Mei hadn’t done anything to betray him, how could he just send her away?
"Misunderstanding? How could there be a misunderstanding? I saw it with my own eyes, and you trust me, so where would the misunderstanding come from? Bai Yanjiao had Yang Erdan beat me and ruin my face, Camp Commander Qin and Regiment Commander Tian can testify to that. Just for that alone, you shouldn’t let them create havoc in our home anymore! You are my father, and I am your daughter! How can a father not think... not think about me and An Ping..." Tears flooded An Hao’s eyes, and she felt so overwhelmed she could barely breathe.
She knew her weak father all too well; if she didn’t force him, he would never be able to make a decision on his own.
Seeing the emotional stirrings at the bottom of An Shuchao’s eyes, Bai Xue Mei feared he might waver. In desperation, she could only resort to drastic measures.
She took down a rope from the wall, walked to the peach tree in the yard, tied the knot, and spoke to An Hao with determination, "Isn’t it you who wants to drive me away? All these years, you just can’t tolerate me! Since it’s like this, I might as well be dead! I’ll die and that will be the end of it!"
Having spoken, she added fuel to the fire for An Shuchao, "I originally didn’t want to tell you this, but now I’m forced into a corner, I’ll let you know. The scene An Hao saw was not me seducing Li Wangfu, but him trying to take advantage of me! Why didn’t I speak out? Because I was considering your dignity as a man!"
