Seven Years of Lies, I Ruined His Life - Chapter 11
That evening, our son barely ate a few bites before returning to his room.
Guan Qin’s parents commented on how picky he was, saying it was all Guan Qin’s fault for spoiling him.
The entire meal left me simmering with frustration.
Guan Qin kept her head down, picking at the rice in her bowl, not touching a single side dish from beginning to end.
I couldn’t help but let out a sneer.
Guan Qin was making me laugh with anger.
The way she had calculated every penny with me just a few days ago was still fresh in my mind.
The person she was then and the one sitting at the dinner table now were like two different people.
In the past, whenever we argued, I would always tell her, “You only act tough at home.”
Now we were divorced.
And that bit of fierceness was still only directed at me.
I put down my chopsticks and stared at Guan Qin’s parents. “Mom, Dad, if you have something to say, just say it. Why take it out on Xiao Qin and Xiao Yu?”
Guan Qin’s head shot up.
Her eyes were filled with refusal.
But her parents paid her no mind, rattling off the purpose of their visit.
My brother-in-law had gotten into trouble back home and beaten someone up.
The other party was demanding 500,000 yuan, or they would send him to jail.
Guan Qin kicked me under the table.
Just like every time before, she didn’t want me to get involved in her family’s affairs.
This was the first time she had made physical contact with me since the divorce.
I nodded.
“This can’t go on with my brother-in-law.”
“We can help him once or twice, but we can’t help him forever. If nothing else works, maybe a few days in jail would teach him a lesson.”
