Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What do you mean? I don’t understand!” Father Zhao was furious when he thought of Peng Zezai.

“Then… if I divorce him, you guys won’t have any objections, right?”

She was a little nervous. Back then, she was the one who fought so hard to marry Peng Zezai. Now that she was getting a divorce, it sounded like she was causing a ruckus.

“Divorce is good. Once you get a divorce, you can come back to your parents, and we will support you.”Father Zhao clapped excitedly when he heard that.

“It’s grandpa who will support us.” She smiled slightly.

“Nonsense. Are you serious? No matter what decision you make, your parents will support you.”

Her mother held her hand. From the moment they entered the house until now, they had not let go. After five years, compared to the image she had of her mom in her memories, her mother seemed to be a little older, but she was still so gentle.

“You don’t blame me for being so wilful back then. I’m so touched…” Her throat was sore.

“How could I bear to blame you? You were just beginning to fall in love with him. You met him and thought it was the love of your life. You rushed into it without hesitation. It’s useless for us to say anything. We could only support you. You’re our precious daughter, after all.”

“Mom…” She was overcome with emotion. She hugged her mother. She should be studying abroad right now.

“Not many people are as lucky as we were, to have met and both liked each other from the start. This is just a hurdle for you. I never really liked that guy. My daughter is so beautiful. How could she not be good enough for him?”

He had never agreed to her getting married so early.

For a moment, no one said anything. 

There was no need to persuade her by making grand declarations.

“I understand now. I’ve decided to give up on him. Don’t cry,” she said seriously.

“Give up on who?”

Grandpa Zhao walked in briskly with his walking stick. His hair was white and there were many fine lines at the ends of his eyes. She suspected that he did not really need his walking stick.

“Grandfather!” She stood up excitedly. “Do you want me to…”

Grandpa Zhao hugged her tightly and the smile lines became more noticeable around his eyes. Father Zhao stood beside them and felt a little wronged. Why was he the only one who did not get to hug her? If there was no one else, he could hug his wife. Mother Zhao was inexplicably hugged by her husband.

“Dad, your granddaughter is going to get a divorce. She’s going to live at home.”

Zhao Jia said that she was going to get a divorce, but she did not say that she was going to live at home. Her company was still there.

“Divorce? What’s wrong? What did you say when you begged me to think of a way?”

“Dad, it’s all in the past. Sit down. Jia Jia went through a lot of trouble to come back. Don’t scold her.”

Her grandpa had helped her get married to Peng Zezai back then. If she wanted a divorce now, it would be a slap to the face. Her grandpa had always doted on her.

Zhao Jia felt wronged. She took the teacup from Uncle Sheng and said respectfully, “Grandpa, have some tea.”

“I can drink tea whenever I want. You said yesterday that you don’t have a boyfriend, and now you want a divorce? Have you thought about it carefully?” Grandpa Zhao took the teacup and said earnestly.

“I’ve thought about it. It’s only a matter of time before it happens anyway.” She was scared to death and thought that her grandfather was going to be angry.

She smiled slightly and said in a low voice, “Since you two don’t have a problem with this, can you tell my brother not to be angry and unblock me?”

The anger that Zhao Suxuan had shown at that time was still vivid in her mind. He had gone overseas when they all supported her, and he had not contacted her in three years.

“We can’t find your brother now. He went overseas, so it’s understandable that he’s angry. Now that you’re divorced, won’t he be even angrier when he finds out?”

“I dreamed last night that he scolded me. I miss him so much.” She lowered her gaze and pursed her lips, feeling wronged.

“Be good. When he comes back, I’ll speak to him for you. Now, as long as you live well, your brother will also be happy,” her mother said.

She understood her son’s character. He was angry on the surface, but he was definitely observing silently. For so many years, she had never said that she was unhappy in the Peng family. Peng Zezai did not treat her badly, so there was no reason for them to interfere in their marriage.

She let out a soft, “Mm”.

Because tomorrow was Monday, she stayed at home for a few more hours before taking a plane back to Shangjiang City. As soon as she arrived at the airport, Zhao Jia felt that something was wrong. There were a lot of people here to greet her today, so many that it made her hair stand on end. She could clearly see the banners and light signs that they were holding up. Chang Jin? What a coincidence! He was also getting off a plane here. It seemed that she had to find a time to treat him to a meal.

The fans saw Zhao Jia in the crowd and started discussing.

“Is this woman Zhao Jia who was trending on the search list last night?”

“As expected, she is deliberately trying to run into Brother Chang Jin. Brother, run!”

“This woman is quite pretty. I didn’t expect her to be this kind of person. I even placed an order to buy Ru Chu’s products last night.”

“Over-hyped woman! Scheming woman! If she dares to debut and form a group, boycott her!”

Some female fans stared at Zhao Jia with righteous indignation. Other fans looked anxiously at the exit, waiting for Chang Jin’s figure.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her. That handsome face shot a flirtatious glance at her and pulled her away..
