"Mian Mian, won't you let Dad explain?" Jiang Jingxiu continued to knock on the door. How could he possibly let his daughter be sad alone while he did nothing?
That would be worse than killing him with a knife.
"What else is there to explain? Mom is getting married, and you're getting married too. I have no home anymore," Mian Mian said tearfully, lying on the bed.
Seeing that his daughter didn't want to open the door for him, Jiang Jingxiu found the spare key and opened the door himself. As he entered, he saw his daughter lying on the bed with her face buried in the quilt. His heart felt as if it had been fiercely squeezed, causing him unbearable pain. He immediately walked over, picked up his daughter, and said, "Sweetheart, don't be sad. The reason I'm doing this today is that I hope to marry your mother and give you a warm home."
"Really?" Mian Mian hugged her father, her voice tinged with sadness.
"Of course, it's true. Dad promised he would never get married, unless it was to your mother. Daughter, please give Dad a little trust, okay?" Jiang Jingxiu hugged her tighter, his heart aching.
"But you can't force Mom. If Mom doesn't want to, please don't force her anymore, okay?"
"Alright, I'll listen to you. Whatever my precious daughter says goes. Do you doubt my love for you?" Jiang Jingxiu kissed his daughter's forehead.
He wouldn't think like his daughter. He wanted to force Jiang Mi to make a choice. Now that he had given her the opportunity to choose between him and that man, he thought that if Jiang Mi hadn't considered these things before, she would seriously contemplate them after today.
Jiang Mi's love for her daughter was no less than his own. He believed she would weigh the options and ultimately choose him.
...
Mian Mian also had worries on her mind. However, her only friend at school was Xiao Guo, and now that Xiao Guo was busy, she felt a little unhappy.
Qian Xiao Guo hardly spent time with Jiang Mian Mian anymore. Every day, she was with Zhao Ke, who treated her exceptionally well, surprising her with gifts daily, accompanying her for meals, and showering her with affection.
Not long after they started dating, Qian Xiao Guo had already received countless gifts from Zhao Ke. She was so immersed in the sweetness of love that she stopped studying altogether.
Despite Mian Mian's repeated persuasion, Qian Xiao Guo wouldn't listen. This eventually led to a heated argument and a rift between them.
Mian Mian didn't know how to stop her from being so infatuated.
One day after school, Qian Xiao Guo went on another date with Zhao Ke. As Mian Mian went downstairs, she ran into Jiang Tianci, who invited her to the bookstore.
Mian Mian declined, saying she had to go home and do her homework.
"Jiang Mian Mian, don't you want to know where your deskmate and Zhao Ke are going? As far as I know, Zhao Ke plans to take your deskmate to a hotel," Jiang Tianci said.
"What did you say!" Mian Mian stopped abruptly, looking at the boy standing in front of her with shock.
"What I said is true. If you believe me, I can take you there to stop them," Jiang Tianci said.
"Okay, you take me," Mian Mian's expression turned grim. She never imagined Qian Xiao Guo could be so foolish.
How old was she to dare go to a hotel with a boy?
Jiang Tianci and Jiang Mian Mian left the school together, rushing towards the hotel Zhao Ke had booked.
Li Xiang saw them from upstairs. He immediately called Yun Buji, who answered quickly and asked, "What is it?"
