CHAPTER 857: CHAPTER 451:

Xu Wei sneered, "Why would I beat or scold you? I can’t kill you anyway."

Her voice was filled with resentment, and Jiang Xun was certain that if possible, Xu Wei truly wished for his death.

He remained silent for a while before saying, "I understand that you’re emotionally unstable right now and don’t want to talk to me. I can ask your parents to come and stay with you."

Xu Wei looked up at him, "What do you mean by that?"

Jiang Xun replied, "I just want you to feel a bit better."

Xu Wei picked up the bowl from the table and threw it at Jiang Xun’s head, angrily shouting, "Seeing you makes me feel worse."

Jiang Xun didn’t dodge, and blood started to ooze from his head.

Xu Wei looked on, not afraid, but rather twistedly satisfied.

Jiang Xun asked, "Are you relieved now?"

"No."

"Then throw it again."

Jiang Xun stood there steadfastly.

Xu Wei really considered picking up another object to throw.

At this moment, Father Xu and Mother Xu saw the scene, rushed over, and grabbed the item from Xu Wei’s hand.

Father Xu furrowed his brows and asked, "Xu Wei, what are you doing?"

Xu Wei shrugged indifferently, "Just what you saw."

Father Xu wanted to say more, but, mindful of Jiang Xun’s presence, he stopped.

Jiang Xun said, "Uncle, Aunt, I’m fine. Please don’t blame Xu Wei. I have things to do and I’ll leave first."

Father Xu wanted to see him off, but Jiang Xun shook his head, "Please stay here with Xu Wei, she needs you more."

Only then did Father Xu give up.

The room was left with just their group.

Father Xu, angry, said, "Xu Wei, what are you causing a scene for? Has Jiang Xun not treated you well enough?"

Xu Wei looked up, her face cold, "Then if you think he’s so good, why didn’t you marry him yourself back then?"

"Xu Wei!"

Father Xu raised his hand, wanting to hit Xu Wei in anger.

Mother Xu immediately said, "Don’t hit the child, let’s talk things out."

Father Xu lowered his hand, frustrated, "Do you think what she said makes sense?"

Mother Xu turned to Xu Wei and asked, "Xu Wei, what exactly are you dissatisfied with? We’ve all seen how Jiang Xun has treated you lately. This is a marriage that others can’t even hope for."

Xu Wei chuckled, "Then find someone else who likes him to marry him."

Mother Xu, seeing her stubborn attitude, felt troubled for a moment.

Father Xu said, "Xu Wei, don’t be ungrateful. You and Jiang Xun are legally married, and everything you do is normal. And for this, you want a divorce?"

Xu Wei seemed triggered, suddenly becoming agitated, "So what if we’re married? Does that mean I have no human rights? Do I not even have the most basic right to refuse? I just don’t want to, is that a problem? Moreover, you forced me into this marriage, why should I endure all of this?"

As she spoke, tears fell from Xu Wei’s eyes.

With a crisp "slap," Xu Wei covered her face, looking at Father Xu with tears glistening in her eyes.

Father Xu said coldly, "Xu Wei, you know that your marriage with Jiang Xun isn’t just about the two of you. I’ve raised you, and now you’re disregarding the family for your own happiness?"

Xu Wei forced a pale smile, "Family? If the family doesn’t care about me, why should I care about the family?"

Father Xu wanted to say more, but Mother Xu immediately said, "Enough, Weiwei is already upset, don’t push her further."

Then she turned and said, "Dad and Mom don’t want to push you, but you should also consider the family. And Jiang Xun treats you well, he’s unique in the circle."

Looking at them, Xu Wei suddenly had nothing to say. Everyone was advising her to get along with Jiang Xun, but no one looked at the issues from her perspective.

She suddenly felt it was all meaningless.

She wiped her face and said, "Alright, I get it, you can leave now."

Mother Xu, seeing her like this, still felt uneasy, "Weiwei, you..."

Before she could finish, Xu Wei interrupted, "I said you can leave. I want to be alone."

She enunciated clearly.

Mother Xu had nothing more to say.

Father Xu immediately said, "See, it’s all because you’ve spoiled her, otherwise, how dare she speak to her elders like this."

Mother Xu tugged his sleeve and said, "Enough, let’s go."

They left.

The room became empty again. Xu Wei slumped onto the bed, as if all her strength had been drained.

She felt a sense of powerlessness, as if no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t change her fate.

--

In the living room, Father Xu said to Jiang Xun plainly, "Letting you in just now was so you’d take her home. But you’ve seen her emotions, you’re probably not going to get through to her now."
