Chapter 1486: Chapter 1254: Apologize or Divorce
"You better come back with me, otherwise if the Old Master gets angry and wants me to divorce you, I absolutely won’t hesitate."
As the car started driving back, Gao Qiming withdrew his hand.
Wang Xiaohui gained her freedom but didn’t dare to risk jumping out of the car.
She cherished her life, even if the car wasn’t going particularly fast; jumping out during the drive could still lead to a serious accident.
All the way, Gao Qiming didn’t say another word to Wang Xiaohui, until the car drove into the compound, then into the Gao Family courtyard where it stopped. Gao Qiming got out holding his daughter, then he looked at the motionless figure sitting in the back seat: "Wang Xiaohui, get out."
His tone was cold, with no emotion visible in his eyes.
Gao Qiming understood the Old Master at home. If his wife hadn’t done something stupid to offend the Old Master’s taboos, the Old Master wouldn’t have instructed Master Li to go to the train station to bring Wang Xiaohui back.
As for why he volunteered to tag along, it was because the Old Master looked so displeased that, to avoid being caught in the storm, he had no choice but to temporarily steer clear of the storm’s eye.
"I, I’m scared..."
Wang Xiaohui shook her head in the car, not daring to meet Gao Qiming’s eyes.
"Explain clearly to Dad what you did, Dad is not an unreasonable person." Gao Qiming stared at Wang Xiaohui for a while, then Wang Xiaohui bit her lip, got out of the car anxiously, and followed behind Gao Qiming into the living room.
Old Master Gao was already seated in the living room.
"Do you want to explain it yourself, or should I?"
He opened with this sentence, making Wang Xiaohui shiver involuntarily.
"Dad, I..."
Her mouth moved, but after a while, Wang Xiaohui didn’t say more.
Old Lady Gao saw this and became furious, "Are you mute now?"
"I know I was wrong."
Without looking at Old Lady Gao, Wang Xiaohui nervously turned to Old Master Gao: "Dad, I was also in a fit of anger at the time, so I tried to hit that little girl, but I didn’t actually hit her at all. Instead, I was almost pushed down by a few kids and later was grabbed by the wrist, the pain made it unbearable, so I couldn’t help but speak recklessly."
"Why didn’t you apologize to that child?" Old Master Gao’s voice was thick and cold: "Mr. Jiang gave you a chance to admit your mistake, but you didn’t take it seriously, even going as far as to flaunt power outrageously. Is this how you were brought up?"
Wang Xiaohui lowered her head without daring to make a sound.
"Today because of your foolish words, I, as the father-in-law, have to take responsibility for you. Tell me, can the Gao Family keep a daughter-in-law like you?"
Not only did he get reprimanded for Mr. Jiang using investments as leverage, but he was also criticized for impacting Academician Luo’s work, showing how influential Little Moonlight’s wrongly accused child’s family background is.
Yes, he indeed stood high, but can Mr. Jiang, Academician Luo, and Professor Kang be considered low in social status?
On the contrary, these three not only have high social standings but also make significant contributions to the country’s development.
For example, Mr. Jiang fully supports the country’s economic development, Academician Luo is wholeheartedly dedicated to the country’s scientific research, Professor Kang makes outstanding contributions to sports while also tirelessly working for the country’s education.
Compared to these three, what can he count for?
"Dad!" Wang Xiaohui’s eyes widened as she shook her head and backed away: "I won’t divorce Qiming, Dad, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me this once!"
Tears welled up in her eyes, Wang Xiaohui looked to Gao Qiming: "Say something! I gave you four children..." Gao Qiming turned his head away, not looking at Wang Xiaohui.
"Give me Little Moonlight."
Old Lady Gao took Little Moonlight from Gao Qiming’s arms, and the grandmother-granddaughter pair left the living room.
It’s not that Old Lady Gao didn’t want to deal with the mess Wang Xiaohui created, but she simply couldn’t intervene!
"If you want to stay in this family, show your attitude, apologize to Mr. Jiang and that child. As long as Mr. Jiang and his granddaughter forgive you, you can continue to be a daughter-in-law of the Gao Family. Otherwise, I will arrange for you and Qiming to process divorce papers at the soonest possible time!"
Old Master Gao spoke expressionlessly. Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaohui clutched onto it like a lifeline: "I’ll apologize, Dad, I’ll go apologize right now!"
She turned to leave the living room, but Old Master Gao stopped her sharply: "Are you going empty-handed? Do you even know where they live?" Wang Xiaohui hesitated, and she looked back to Old Master Gao: "I’ll follow Dad’s arrangements."
Old Master Gao didn’t respond to Wang Xiaohui. After thinking for a moment, he got up and walked out of the house.
