“But the only condition is that you have to tell me and your mother clearly why you want to divorce Chen Ze all of a sudden. Did Chen Ze do something to let you down?”

Wen Liang looked at Wen Xi’s small face and asked in a slightly serious tone. He felt that what Xiao Ping said last night made sense. Knowing his daughter, she would not just give up on Chen Ze for no reason. Something must have happened that they did not know about.

After hearing Wen Liang’s question, Wen Xi stopped wiping her mouth with a tissue. She looked up at him and then turned to look at Xiao Ping, who was also confused and nervous. After sighing quietly, Wen Xi replied, “The reason… Hasn’t it always been obvious?”

Wen Xi paused for a moment and slowly lowered her head, then continued indifferently, “Chen Ze is not someone I can warm up to. His heart has never been with me, and will never be with me! Didn’t I tell you yesterday? This is called stopping losses in time and correcting one’s mistakes.”

“The two of you don’t need to think too much and just relax a little. My life is still so long. A mere Chen Ze won’t be able to exhaust me to death! I’m just too tired, and I don’t want to continue to stay in a relationship that’s destined to be fruitless. To put it in a simpler term, I’ve woken up.”

When Wen Xi said these two sentences, she felt like she had been enlightened. There was even a faint smile on the corners of her mouth.

Just like what she had said earlier, she continued to torture herself before, but then she suddenly came to her senses and woke up. This was the answer that the Wen couple had gotten from Wen Xi.

After hearing their daughter’s words, the atmosphere at the table was slightly strange. Wen Liang looked at her with eyes full of heartache, but Xiao Ping, who was next to him, was not as easy to talk to as he was!

There was some suspicion in Xiao Ping’s eyes, and she looked at Wen Xi with some deep obscurity. After a long silence, she asked, “Is it just because of this? Did anything else happen?”

Fortunately, in the next second, Wen Xi immediately recovered from her trance. She looked into Xiao Ping’s eyes and replied with a chuckle, “What else? Do I have to wait for something to happen before I realize that I’m wasting my time, Mom? Then in front of Chen Ze, do I have to continue being lowly and passive? Do I have to wait until he has done something wrong and unforgivable before I can leave him?The things he has done to me all these years is more than enough. Chen Ze is a cold and heartless person!”

The moment she thought of what had happened in her previous life, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Chen Ze indeed hasn’t done anything yet at the moment. The things that truly let her down had only just begun.

After looking at Wen Xi for a long time, Xiao Ping couldn’t see anything she wanted in her eyes. She only saw Wen Xi’s determination and sobriety.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Ping said in a low voice, “It’s getting late. Go to work after you’re done with breakfast. Don’t be late again!”

Hearing Xiao Ping’s words, Wen Xi knew that her mother had already compromised. She looked at her mother deeply and after a long while, she chuckled and said, “I know, Mom. I’ll go to work now. I’ll come back to see you and Dad in a few days!”

Wen Xi glanced sideways at her father as she spoke. She got up, took her bag, and left.

Wen Liang hurriedly got up and sent Wen Xi out of the door. When he returned to the living room, Xiao Ping was still sitting at the table, motionless and with a dull expression. Sighing softly, he walked up to her and patted her on the back, consoling her.

Xiao Ping knew that she couldn’t beat Wen Xi. After all, how could they beat their own child?
