  He really didn’t believe that the Zhai family would be so shameless and didn’t care about their reputation at all.

  Seeing that there were more people watching the excitement, Father Wei knew that it had begun to take effect. When other people rushed in, Father Wei hurriedly said, “Ah De, don’t be silly. Jiajia is still young. She can’t do without a father. Your mom and I are already old. You can’t let us send off our own child. Come down first. We can discuss everything. There’s nothing that can’t be resolved. If you don’t want to get a divorce, then don’t. You and Hua Hua have been husband and wife for more than ten years. I believe the two of you still have feelings for each other and Hua Hua similarly can’t bear to leave you as well. Everything can be resolved as long as you persuade Hua Hua’s parents. Listen to Dad, and come down quickly.”

  “That’s right. What is it that you can’t come to terms with that you have to use your life as a joke? It’s better to dismantle ten temples than to destroy a marriage. Your in-laws shouldn’t want to see their own daughter getting a divorce. Just discuss the conflicts between the both of you and resolve them.”

  Other people didn’t understand this situation much.

  It sounded that the person who wanted to commit suicide was in the midst of getting a divorce from his wife. Of course, this man didn’t seem to want to get a divorce, and according to the man’s father, neither did the woman. However, the woman’s parents seemed to be quite powerful and insisted on separating this couple.

  \r \r \r

  “Come down first. It’s extremely dangerous up there. It’s not convenient for us to speak either. It doesn’t sound like too big a problem. If you can’t persuade your in-laws alone, we will all help you. It’s better for a couple to make peace than break up. There’re so many of us here to talk reason to them. We can do it.”

  “That’s right. Divorce isn’t a big deal. If the two of you don’t want to be separated, nobody, even birth parents, can be involved in this. Where’s your wife? As long as you are of one mind, there’s nothing to be worried about. Come down quickly.”

  It was a fact that Wei De and his parents led a miserable life recently. One look at them and it was clear they weren’t in a good state. It was easier for people to sympathize with the weak. All three members of the Wei family weren’t young anymore, especially Father Wei and Mother Wei, whose hair was white and faces were wrinkled. The only strong Wei De was sitting on the railing of a tall building and looked like he no longer wanted to live.

  It was obvious that all public opinion leaned toward the Wei family and they criticized the Zhai family for being too unkind. If the couple didn’t want to be separated, who were the Zhai family to join in the excitement and insist on their daughter getting a divorce? What kind of parents were they? Weren’t they too cruel?

  A few people even asked Wei De what his in-laws’ surname was and where they were from. They wanted to see for themselves such unreasonable people as well.

  Zhai Hua wasn’t planning to bother about Wei De initially. Zhai Yaohui said that Wei De wouldn’t jump and was just trying to scare them at most. Furthermore, someone had already called the police, and this was taking place at the tall building opposite the court. Would a court be lacking police forces? As such, once the news was out, the police and the fire department were ready to save people.

  The police had already deployed their full force. Coupled with the fact that Wei De didn’t really want to die, the more he kicked up a fuss, the more their family didn’t need to come forward. Wei De might not want face, but their Zhai family did.

  Upon hearing Zhai Yaohui say so, Zhai Hua silently agreed to his attitude in dealing with things and didn’t bother about Wei De. She let him play a one-man show alone. It was just that when she heard the news spreading outside, Zhai Hua could no longer tolerate it. Their Zhai family was being lambasted although Wei De was obviously the one who did wrong.

  Without saying another word, Zhai Hua stood up and rushed outside.

  “Hua Hua……” Miao Jing tried to pull Zhai Hua back. People outside were already saying such ugly words. If Hua Hua went to see Wei De at this point in time, it would definitely not be good. What if under the pressure of those people who weren’t in the know, Hua Hua decided not to get a divorce from Wei De? Miao Jing was worried that Zhai Hua would be kidnapped by her morals and suffer a big loss in silence.

  Zhai Yaohui pulled Miao Jing back. “Zhai Hua decided herself then that she wanted to marry Wei De. Now that she wants to get a divorce today, she should bring out her courage. If she was so straightforward in getting married, the same should apply now that she’s getting a divorce. Let her resolve this matter by herself.”

  Divorce? That wasn’t embarrassing!

  As long as Zhai Hua did things in an upright manner, there was nothing she couldn’t say to everyone in an open manner. The Wei family would show their true colors sooner or later. “She’s already a mother now. You should let her experience some things herself so that she knows our difficulties back then. I don’t have grievances that she misunderstood the both of us back when we were young. I’m doing this for Jiajia as well. After they get a divorce, Jiajia will definitely be living with Zhai Hua in our family. If Zhai Hua doesn’t grow up, who will Jiajia rely on in the future? Could it be the both of us? Even if there was Zhai Sheng, the uncle, his care for Jiajia would be limited once he has his own family and children. Zhai Hua is the only one Jiajia could always rely on. As such, we have to let go.”

  Regardless of whether it was for their daughter or granddaughter, Zhai Hua was the only one who could resolve this. Blindly protecting them wasn’t loving them but harming them.

  When Zhai Hua was young, they had protected Zhai Hua so much that she wasn’t good at recognizing people and decided to follow Wei De. It was good to experience a rough fall as well. In the remaining decades, even if he and Miao Miao were no longer around, he believed that Zhai Hua wouldn’t have any major issues and would raise Jiajia, her daughter, well.

  Zhai Yaohui already tried to reason with her. Aside from listening, there was nothing else Miao Jing could do. She only hoped that after today, Zhai Hua would no longer have any relationship with Wei De and that they wouldn’t have any interaction in the future. Even if Hua Hua was as tough as a boy since young, she couldn’t handle torments like this again regardless of how strong she was.

  “Old man, look. Our daughter-in-law is here.” The moment Zhai Hua appeared, Mother Wei was overjoyed. They had an in-law relationship for over ten years, but this was the first time Mother Wei looked at Zhai Hua so happily. “Hua Hua, you’re finally here. We only have Ah De as a son. We’re all a family. Can we sit down and talk about the issues together to resolve them? If Ah De is gone, the both of us can’t live anymore. You have such a good relationship with Ah De. He will definitely listen to whatever you say. Hua Hua, let Ah De come down. I’m about to have a heart attack seeing him like this.”

  When everyone heard that the main character was here, they stared at Zhai Hua with interest. “Yes, this is between the two of you. As long as you don’t have that intention, you don’t have to listen too much to your parents. Both of you should be happy. You’re already a grown-up. Could it be that you don’t know what kind of life you want?”
