In the end, Wen Li was forced by Zhang Haotian to divorce him.

During the divorce, Wen Li did not take away his property, nor did she take away anything belonging to Zhang's family. The only request was to take Zhang Xiao away. But he was ruthless, he just didn't want Wen Li to take Zhang Xiao away, saying that Zhang Xiao was the daughter of his Zhang family and would stay in Zhang's house.

That day, it rained cats and dogs.

Wen Li dragged her suitcase and left crying.

Zhang Xiao ran after her mother, but was stopped by some servants he ordered.

Zhang Xiao's heart-piercing cry, as if he didn't hear it, watched Wen Li be forced to separate from her daughter with cold eyes. At that moment, he actually felt happy, only to realize that he had long blamed Wen Li and was subconsciously taking revenge on her. He also destroyed everything that belonged to Wen Li, except for a photo album that was hugged tightly by Zhang Xiao, which remained.

He also had a falling out with the Wen family and severed Zhang Xiao's connection with the Wen family, so that now Zhang Xiao has been unable to contact his uncles in Canada.

The divorced Wen Li went abroad to relax, but in fact she was going back to her mother's home. Who knew that she was unfortunately caught in an air crash and never came back, even the bones could not be found. And the scene of her leaving became the last farewell between mother and daughter. From then on, Zhang Xiao hated him, hated him as a father who was indifferent and cruel, and hated him as a father who indirectly killed her mother.

This hatred lasted for twenty-two years.

Before, he didn't care.

He really doesn't care whether his daughter loves him or hates him, because he has two sons born to him by Ling Hongyu, and an excellent stepson like Yi Xiujie, he thinks enough is enough.

Now……

Maybe it's because he's getting older, or maybe it's been more than 20 years, he gradually calmed down, and began to think about whether he was too unfeeling back then? He didn't love Wen Li, but the two of them had known each other for several years. He knew that woman, she was a woman full of love and acted in an open and aboveboard manner.

If she didn't really love him, she would never have married him resolutely at the beginning of his broken love. She wanted to use her love to heal his pain, would she really force Ling Hongyu to leave him as Ling Hongyu said?

"Xiao'er..." Zhang Haotian, who was caught in the memory, showed some paternal love, tentatively stretched out his hand, wanting to touch this daughter who had been neglected by him for more than twenty years.

Zhang Xiao avoided the big hand he stretched out, making his hand freeze in the air.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about? About going home? I still say the same thing, I won't go back, I am no longer the eldest lady of your Zhang family. I think you must still remember what happened nine years ago What did you say that day?"

"Xiao'er, Dad is... Dad said that out of anger."

Zhang Xiao sneered twice, "You'd better get down to business."

After staring at her for two minutes, Zhang Hao managed to control his tumbling emotions, and demanded: "Listen to Dad, go back with Dad, and don't stay at Mu's house as a babysitter. Ning Zhiyuan said something to Dad today. Worried that he's going to hurt you. Believe it or not, Dad really does it for your own good."

After a pause, he continued: "Dad is not forcing you to go on a blind date with him. Dad also understands his character. If he doesn't fall in love with you, you will not be happy. So, Dad will not force you, Xiao Son, what Dad said is the truth. Although Hongyu proposed this marriage, she also considered it for you. With our family's conditions, Ning Zhiyuan is indeed the best candidate if he is worthy of you. But Dad has never nodded in agreement. Also last year, Dad was in a car accident, which broke the relationship between our Zhang family and the Ning family. Auntie just wants to improve the current stiff relationship between our two families, and it's all for the sake of our Zhang family, so don't blame her."

While talking, Zhang Haotian pulled out Ling Hongyu again, and tried his best to protect Ling Hongyu.

Zhang Xiao satirized him in a cold voice: "Yes, she is trying her best to help you and relieve your worries. It is for the sake of Zhang's family and for my happiness. I should be grateful to her, right? You laugh so hard , she was doing it for my own good, she was borrowing a knife to kill someone, she wished I could die..."

"Zhang Xiao!"

Zhang Xiao's words made Zhang Haotian furious, "Hongyu has been kind to you for so many years, it's fine if you don't accept it, and you still have to slander her like this. Have you ever seen such a good stepmother like her? She treats you like her own, you still……"

"enough!"

Zhang Xiao growled, "I can't bear her kindness, please go back and tell her, I, Zhang Xiao, don't want her to be nice to me! I know what she has done to me. You defend her, I understand. For her, you even killed my mother. For her, what else can you not do? Asking me to go back, isn't it because she wants to marry me to Ning Zhiyuan? Kill me? She is a slut, poisonous woman!"

"Snapped!"

Zhang Haotian stretched out his hand and slapped Zhang Xiao across the face.

Zhang Xiao's words stopped suddenly, and he stared coldly at the man in front of him.

She should have understood that no matter what time, no matter what happens, he will always defend that woman.

"Xiao'er..."

When Zhang Haotian slapped his daughter with his hands, he was also taken aback, and then he yelled apologetically.

"Nine years ago, you slapped me and pointed at the gate to tell me to get out. Nine years later, you still slapped me." Zhang Xiao didn't cry, she didn't cover her face, she just used an extremely calm expression. Talking in a tone, looking at Zhang Haotian's eyes became more and more cold, "Thank you for slapping me again!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and left, not going back, but walking towards her bicycle, unlocked the car, and pushed the bicycle away.

Zhang Haotian even called her a few times, but she didn't answer, let alone look back.

After walking out of the hospital, Zhang Xiao rode a bicycle and rushed forward desperately. She still didn't cry, but her heart was still very painful.

She didn't know where to go, so she just kept riding and riding.

There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, which means that the night is getting deeper and deeper.

People began to fall into a sound dream.

However, someone also woke up, and it was Xiao Muya.

After Zhang Xiao took her for a few days, her sleep had recovered, but tonight she suddenly woke up again in the middle of the night.

After opening her eyes, she habitually opened her mouth and called: "Mom, mom."

Without Zhang Xiao's response, she burst into tears immediately. Then turned over and sat up on the bed, climbed to the edge of the bed, crawled and slid out of the bed, cried and cried to my mother and walked to the door with bare feet, she knew that she had to twist the doorknob to open it, but she couldn’t reach the doorknob , she had no choice but to lie on the door and cry for her mother.

"Mommy mommy……"

Mu Ya patted the door with her little hands, crying for her mother non-stop.
