No matter how unbelievable the scene before us is.

Ultimately, it is happening right before our eyes.

The young couple breathed a sigh of relief, God knows how terrified they were when they heard the Zhang Family was coming.

The Xiao Family has just a few people, one or two at most, who spend their days laughing foolishly, like scatterbrains.

They were truly worried about such a family, facing the ruthless and unyielding Zhang Family, would suffer losses.

They rushed over in a panic.

Only to discover that the situation seemed...

To say it isn’t different.

Would be an understatement; it’s completely the opposite, like south and north.

Li Jing’an pressed her wildly beating heart back into her chest, turned her head, and stared seriously into Zhang Quansheng’s eyes, saying earnestly, "This time, I don’t plan to endure or yield, or save face for the Zhang Family. I want to say the harsh words up front."

Since marrying Zhang Quansheng, because they couldn’t have children, she’d endured countless scornful looks and grievances from the Zhang Family, both openly and in secret.

Those hurtful words passed through her ears, and she let them go, not taking them to heart.

Only for Zhang Quansheng’s sake, she couldn’t bear to see him stuck in the middle, caught in the crossfire.

Besides, those annoying relatives only show up once or twice a year.

No sense letting such petty people affect the couple’s relationship.

However, her compromise and generosity were seen by the Zhang Family as weakness and incompetence.

Relying on Li Jing’an’s refusal to stoop to their level, they repeatedly challenged her limits.

This time, it even involved outsiders.

Over time, she’d had enough and didn’t want to endure anymore.

To put it bluntly, she’s just that kind of person.

Someone who’d rather break than compromise.

She’d rather spend her life without a child of her own than raise someone else’s child.

Especially a child from the Zhang Family, so filthy and wicked.

Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes to phoenixes, mice will dig holes, Li Jing’an doesn’t think such character from the Zhang Family could produce anything good.

Zhang Quansheng, pure amid the filth, is already a rare gem.

A good bamboo shoots from bad bamboo, but that’s a rarity.

She’s already claimed several generations of good bamboo shoots, and doesn’t feel lucky enough to catch another.

What’s raising a son for old age?

If raised, can she live forever?

Old age and death will inevitably come.

Without a son’s care. In old age, hopefully receiving slightly considerate attention.

Then again, if raising a thankless wretch, what then?

Initially living to sixty-five, but the wretch, to claim her estate, hastening her demise at fifty-five.

Wouldn’t she be at a great loss?

Previously trying to smooth things over, believing the Zhang Family had limited abilities, creating no major storms.

During holidays, their nuisances could be tolerated slightly.

But now, their urgency escalates, and unless their intentions are thoroughly crushed, how will she live going forward?

Deep breath, Li Jing’an decisively resolved.

"Quansheng," she turned to Zhang Quansheng, earnestly, "We might never have a child of our own.

If you truly want a child, I’m willing to part ways, granting you freedom.

Find a woman who can bear children for you. But if you choose to stay with me, then..."

"Alright," Zhang Quansheng grasped Li Jing’an’s hand, helplessly, "It’s that blind and reckless Zhang Family causing trouble. Your anger shouldn’t be directed at me.

No kids, then no kids. What’s the big deal? As long as we can live well together, that’s all that matters."

He sees it clearly, besides, within him is Zhang Family’s selfish, cold-blooded determination to never back down before reaching goals.

He doesn’t believe his child, even with Li Jing’an’s influence, could turn out any better.

If inheriting his cold, cruel nature, might hurt Jing’an’s feelings, thereby losing more than gaining.

"You said it."

"I said it."

The couple exchanged a few simple words, then the Zhang Family noticed them.

Xia Yulu gritted her teeth, rushed to Zhang Quansheng, and knelt, "Quansheng! Finally, you’re here. If you hadn’t come to stand up for us.

We’d be beaten to death by this thug-like Xiao Family."

Xia Yulu is quite a character, a failure at everything, a bottomless eater.

But calculating and scheming, always spot on.

Masterful at playing the pity card, adding fine strokes to her performance.

Unknown to others, seeing her cry so pitifully, they’d assume she’s suffered huge injustice.

Little did they know, the most reprehensible, most hateful was right here.

Li Jing’an stared coldly, Zhang Quansheng gazed silently at Xia Yulu too.

Over there.

Mrs. Xiao, seeing the couple arrive, felt a little uneasy, clutching Wen Ran’s sleeve and whispering, "These two, might they misunderstand us because of this?

Being one family, a misunderstanding could be quite hard to clarify."

"If it can’t be explained, then don’t. It’s not a big deal."

Wen Ran understood well, in life, no feast doesn’t end, so treasure each moment together, play joyously.

Even parted, don’t feel overly sad.

Because, they shared the most beautiful times.

Having fun earlier, maybe one day, one crossroads, suddenly losing touch.

Next encounter, just polite greetings, then strangers again.

It’s common, plus they’ll soon leave here, whether falling out or not hardly affects her.

Hongguo chimed in, "I believe Sister Jing’an wouldn’t mess up life recklessly; she surely knows who’s good or bad."

"Hmph~"

Xiao Chenxing sighed, "Afraid of him, not Li Jing’an! Afraid, of Zhang Quansheng.

Men! Oh, truth is they’re just the same; sometimes, in their eyes, the one beside them isn’t as important as family."

"Whack!"

Xiao Chenye raised his hand for a slap, "Dead girl, why so full of nonsense?"

Xiao Chenxing: "... I didn’t mean you, see, nervous again."

"Say one more word, I’ll crack your head open."

"Ha?" Xiao Chenxing straightened, "Afraid of you?"

Xiao Chenye: "Xiao Chenxing!"
