CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 69: TELLING THE PARENTS

As for Cheng Li, Father Jiang also doesn’t like her. Because he once accidentally saw another side of Cheng Li, he knows she is a person who is not what she seems.

In the past, he had also tried to convince Jiang Xue to not get too close to Cheng Li, but Jiang Xue never listened.

Not only that, but instead, her relationship with Cheng Li became even closer. At that time, he was very angry and even scolded Jiang Xue.

Later, seeing that Jiang Xue wouldn’t listen, and their relationship was getting more strained because of it, he had no choice but to let it go.

Now that Jiang Xue’s relationship with Cheng Li is not good, he is actually quite happy. He always had a grievance against Cheng Li, feeling that the rift in his relationship with Jiang Xue had a lot to do with Cheng Li.

"Isn’t Xue’er good friends with her? What’s wrong with me asking about it?" Mrs. Jiang felt displeased by her husband’s yelling and couldn’t help but retort.

"What good friends, she is not a good person!"

"Alright, Old Jiang, Cheng Li is a good girl, and you shouldn’t ruin her reputation. Besides, she’s Xue’er’s only friend."

"Long hair, short knowledge." Father Jiang was somewhat angry and very annoyed by Mrs. Jiang’s inability to distinguish right from wrong.

Jiang Xue, who was watching her parents about to argue, immediately spoke up: "Dad, Mom, please stop arguing. I know very well what kind of person Cheng Li is."

"Xue’er, you?" Father Jiang was a bit disappointed. He had thought his daughter had changed and seen through Cheng Li’s true colors, but now it seems he was wrong.

"Dad, don’t worry. I know you never liked me hanging out with Cheng Li, not because she often visited our home, but because she was not a good person."

"Dad, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have ignored your advice."

"Xue’er, what are you saying? Cheng Li isn’t a good person, what’s wrong with her?" Mrs. Jiang was confused by Jiang Xue’s words. Jiang Xue had always been determined and a good student. Yet she had almost no friends, except for Cheng Li.

Mrs. Jiang naturally didn’t want Jiang Xue to fall out with her only friend, so she was hoping they would reconcile. But judging from what Jiang Xue said, it seems like Cheng Li did something bad.

Otherwise, given how close her daughter and Cheng Li were, how could she say such things, how could she refuse to let her attend the child’s one-month-old banquet?

"Mom, I understand your thoughts. But it’s truly impossible for Cheng Li and me to reconcile." Jiang Xue said seriously, looking at her mother.

She had lived another life and seen Cheng Li’s true colors, and naturally she wouldn’t foolishly remain friends with her as she did in her past life. She doesn’t want to die again.

It’s said that dying is worse than living poorly; she certainly won’t make the same mistake again.

"Xue’er, can you speak clearly, I’m about to die of anxiety. What exactly happened between you and Cheng Li?"

Jiang Xue looked at her mother and didn’t explain but instead asked, "Mom, if someone urged you to divorce Dad, what would you do?"

"What?" Mrs. Jiang was stunned, and when she realized what Jiang Xue was saying, she was immediately enraged, saying, "Xue’er, what nonsense are you talking about? There’s a saying that it’s better to tear down ten temples than ruin one marriage; anyone who dares tell me to divorce your dad is my enemy."

"Mom, Cheng Li urged me to divorce Qian Cheng!" As soon as Jiang Xue finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang couldn’t believe what she was hearing, staring blankly at Jiang Xue, and said, "Xue’er, what did you say, say it again?"

"Mom, Cheng Li encouraged me to divorce Qian Cheng, do you think this friend is worth keeping? Do you think she has my best interests at heart, or is she harming me?"
