The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 67: The Adopted Daughter of a Wealthy Family (23)

"Don't like it? Why are you so good to Jian Fan? Zhuo Zhuo, if you show that you don't like Jian Fan at all, we will not let you marry Jian Fan. Even if you are already married, we will let you divorce Jian Fan. We have never thought of wronging you." Bai Yao yelled at Bai Zhuo for the first time.

They let Bai Zhuo go home so that he could live a better life, but why did they always let Bai Zhuo suffer? Bai Yao looked sad and was greatly shocked.

"I never feel wronged, because Jian Fan is very good, he treats me very well, and he is a very, very good husband. If I had more time, I would definitely be inseparable from him. But now I have more important things to do, and I don't have the chance to spend every day with Jian Fan anymore. I don't know what kind of person I will meet in the future, so I don't want to waste each other's time."

After Bai Zhuo finished speaking, everyone in the Bai family fell silent. They didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"What about Jian Fan's attitude towards you?" Bai Chong asked, staring into Bai Zhuo's eyes.

Bai Zhuo couldn't wait to speak out, "Jian Fan is very good to me, very good." Bai Zhuo was afraid that if he spoke a little too late, Bai Chong would misunderstand Jian Fan.

Bai Chong's eyes gleamed, "You've already said this. What I'm asking is, is Jian Fan's kindness to you out of his responsibility as a husband, or because he has feelings for you?"

Bai Zhuo was stunned, then avoided Bai Chong's sharp gaze with a guilty conscience. Bai Chong understood and smiled bitterly, "So you knew Jian Fan had feelings for you, but you still wanted to divorce him, even though he was willing to wait for you in China?"

Bai Zhuo bit his tongue and nodded firmly, "Dad, I was impulsive and irresponsible and dragged him to get married. I am already very sorry for him. I am not qualified and I don't want him to waste a few more years on me."

Bai Zhuo felt bitter. She couldn't tell anyone that she wanted to divorce Jian Fan. It had nothing to do with whether Jian Fan was willing to wait for her. In order to resolve the issue of the child, she had to divorce Jian Fan.

Bai Chong looked at his daughter's restless appearance and his wife and children's sad expressions. He closed his eyes, sighed, and then spoke in a loud voice.

"Bai Zhuo, I will only give you five years. If you cannot return to your country after five years, I will personally bring you back with your mother and your brother."

Bai Zhuo was extremely surprised. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Bai Chong in disbelief, only to find tears flashing in Bai Chong's eyes. Bai Zhuo bit her lip again and lowered her head to avoid Bai Chong's sight. The guilt in her heart had overwhelmed Bai Zhuo.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

Bai Chong did not respond, but continued to talk about his decision, "I agree to divorce Jian Fan, but I agree not because I think that Jian Fan is wasting her time by waiting for you, but because you, Bai Zhuo, do not like Jian Fan, and this marriage is not what you expected after careful consideration."

"Zhuozhuo, here you have the right to choose what you want to do at any time." Bai Chong said while stopping Su Yao and Bai Yao who wanted to interrupt.

Bai Zhuo, who had been keeping her head down, did not see this scene. She could only suppress all her guilt and weakness and say thank you to Bai Chong.

"Zhuozhuo, we don't spend as much time with you as the Shui family. We all owe you and the Shui family. But your mother, your brother and I love you as much as the Shui family does." Bai Chong's voice softened, but only for a moment.

"We won't stop you from helping Shui Chengwen, nor will we interfere with your business, but the deadline is only five years. After five years, you must come back safe and happy."

"In the past five years, you cannot lose contact like you did this month. There must be at least three phone calls or video calls every week." It was an order and a request, but Bai Chong's voice sounded like begging.

Bai Zhuo finally couldn't control herself and fell to her knees, crying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm really sorry." Bai Zhuo used to think that these three words were the most useless, but now she can't do anything except saying these three words.

As soon as Bai Zhuo knelt down, he was pulled up by Su Yao and Bai Yao on the left and right. Su Yao wanted to say something but was stopped by Bai Chong again.

Bai Yao looked at his parents' red eyes and their bleeding fingers, and silently kept all their instructions and requests deep in his heart.

His parents were already very sad and his sister felt guilty enough, so he couldn't make things worse.

"Dad, Mom Zhuozhuo just came back and hasn't rested yet. Now that things have been decided, let's let Zhuozhuo have a good night's rest."

"Well, Bai Yao, go and take care of Zhuo Zhuo's wound on his hand. Your mother and I will go and rest first." Bai Chong seemed to be really exhausted when he said this.

A negotiation that exhausted everyone's energy ended just like that. It was simpler than Bai Zhuo expected, but also more exhausting than she expected.

Bai Zhuo had already forgotten about hiding her wound in front of everyone in the Bai family. When Bai Yao was treating the wound on her hand, Bai Zhuo did not realize that her broken finger had been discovered by everyone in the Bai family.

However, everyone thought that Bai Zhuo hurt himself because he blamed himself too much, and no one thought much about it.

"I don't want Zhuozhuo to leave me for so long. You shouldn't stop me." After returning to her room, Su Yao finally cried out loud in front of her husband without any scruples.

Bai Chong's voice was choked with sobs, but he still tried to put on a smile. "So we just ignore the kid from the Shui family?"

Just one question left Su Yao speechless. How could he not care? They owed the Shui family a lot.

"The child of the Shui family is as stubborn as our Zhuozhuo. He was unwilling to ask us for help when the Shui family became like that. Now Zhuozhuo has finally found him. I don't know how much effort he spent to get the child to agree to let her stay with him."

Bai Chong felt extremely distressed when he thought about how much his daughter had suffered in order to stay with Shui Chengwen.

But Bai Chong also felt sorry for Shui Chengwen having to bear such a heavy burden of the Shui family at such a young age, so he had to agree to Bai Zhuo's request.

"You saw how Zhuozhuo was when she first came home. Do you think that even if we can stop Zhuozhuo's body, can we stop her heart? The Shui family's affairs are a thorn in Zhuozhuo's heart. If this thorn is not removed, it will cause Zhuozhuo pain for the rest of her life. Are you willing to do that?"

Su Yao shook her head. Of course she was reluctant to do so. She didn’t want Zhuo Zhuo to be sad more than anyone else.

"Besides, Zhuozhuo is the daughter of our Bai family and has been nurtured by the Shui family with all her heart. She has her own responsibilities to shoulder. We can't always treat her as a child who has not grown up."

As Bai Chong spoke, he wiped Su Yao's tears. Su Yao gradually calmed down. In fact, Su Yao understood all the reasons, she just needed time to accept it. She even considered it more carefully than Bai Chong.

"What about Jian Fan? If we really let them divorce like this, will Jian Fan agree?" Su Yao felt regretful and worried.
