When Xie Jianhua arrived at the coal mine, he was told that Lin Luping did not come to work today.

This news made Xie Jianhua's heart sink suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

He anxiously asked Lin Luping's colleagues, trying to get some clues from them.

But the colleagues just shook their heads and said they didn't know where Lin Luping was.

Xie Jianhua was unwilling to give up, so he decided to look around the coal mine again, hoping he could meet Lin Luping or someone who knew her whereabouts.

But the morning passed and there was no news.

Xie Jianhua went to his father-in-law Lin Jun again, but the reply he received was still that there was no news about Lin Luping.

Xie Jianhua's heart sank with worry, and his ominous premonition became stronger.

He realized that Lin Luping's disappearance was no accident and something must have happened.

He decided not to search blindly anymore, but to call the police first and let professional forces intervene.

He described Lin Luping's situation to the police in detail, including her appearance, behavior before her disappearance, and possible whereabouts.

The police quickly launched an investigation and received the news a few hours later.

However, when Xie Jianhua heard the results of the police investigation, he could hardly believe his ears - Lin Luping was administratively detained for suspected involvement in gambling.

This discovery shocked and angered Xie Jianhua. He couldn't believe that Lin Luping would be involved in such illegal activities.

After learning the news, Xie Jianhua felt extremely complicated.

On the one hand, he was glad that Lin Luping was at least safe; on the other hand, he was heartbroken for what she had done.

Under the arrangement of the police, Xie Jianhua came to the detention center to visit Lin Luping.

When he stepped through the cold iron door, walked through the long corridor, and finally stood in front of the small window, he saw Lin Luping.

She was wearing prison clothes, her hair was a little messy, and her eyes showed both fear and unwillingness.

"Lin Luping, how could you do such a thing?" Xie Jianhua's voice echoed in the small space, with a hint of disappointment that was hard to conceal.

Lin Luping raised her head and met Xie Jianhua's eyes. She tried to force a smile, but it was very stiff. "I have no choice. I just want to make more money and give our daughter a better future."

Xie Jianhua was extremely angry when he heard this. Not only was she arrogant and willful, she also did not consider her family and children in anything she did. Her extremely selfish character always forced Xie Jianhua to submit to her will, and she also had to act like a victim and a weak person, complaining without reason, trying to gain sympathy and moral capital everywhere.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm: "Lu Ping, have you ever thought that by doing this you might not only ruin yourself, but also affect your daughter's future? Do you know that your criminal record will affect Yanyan's future civil service exams?"

Lin Luping's face turned pale instantly. She lowered her head and was silent for a while. Then she suddenly raised her head with a hint of stubbornness and sophistry in her eyes: "Your daughter? What ability does she have to take the civil service exam? She can't even read well, what future can she have? She is as stupid as a pig! It's a good thing that she can get into college! You are the only one who cares about a yellow-haired girl all day long!"

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Xie Jianhua's heart.

He didn't expect that Lin Luping would belittle her daughter in such a way. This was not only disrespectful to her daughter, but also a great insult to him as a father.

Xie Jianhua's body shook slightly. Lin Luping's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.

He widened his eyes and looked at Lin Luping in disbelief, as if he was really meeting her for the first time.

The woman in front of him was the one he loved deeply, the one who gave birth to a daughter with him and the partner who promised to spend the rest of his life with him. But now she said such harsh and hurtful words.

"You...how can you say that to Yanyan? Didn't you give birth to her after carrying her for ten months?" Xie Jianhua's voice trembled. He felt a strong sense of anger and disappointment intertwined, almost drowning him.

Lin Luping didn't seem to realize the seriousness of her words. She still maintained that stubborn look in her eyes, with a hint of disdain on the corner of her mouth. "What I said is all true, Xie Jianhua, don't deny it. Xie Yan is not a good student at all. No matter how much effort you put into her, it will be in vain. Instead of letting her waste time on her studies, why not wait until she graduates from junior high school and let her go out to work early, so she can earn more money."

"You're totally unreasonable!" Xie Jianhua finally couldn't help himself. His voice echoed in the small room, filled with uncontrollable anger. "Yan Yan is our daughter. She is my pride. How could you belittle her like this? How could you be so selfish and only think about your own interests?"

Lin Luping's expression turned even uglier. She stood up abruptly, clenched her fists, and shouted sharply, "I'm selfish? Xie Jianhua, what right do you have to say I'm selfish? Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for this family, for our daughter? Do you think I want to be locked up? Do you think I want to be pointed at? It's all because of your incompetence and inability to make money that I have to take this path!"

Xie Jianhua was so angry at Lin Luping's words that he was shaking all over. He felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand.

He didn't expect Lin Luping to put all the blame on him, and he didn't expect her to attack him so mercilessly.

"You...you are being unreasonable! How much money do you want to satisfy me?" Xie Jianhua's voice trembled. He tried to calm himself down, but the anger and disappointment in his heart were erupting like a volcano. "Lin Luping, you have been plotting against me from the beginning! Now, you have finally been exposed. You are so mean and heartless. I really don't know why I should marry you!"

Lin Luping sneered, her eyes filled with indifference and alienation: "Xie Jianhua, stop pretending. There have been problems between us for a long time, but you have never been willing to face them. You always think that I don't care enough about our daughter and am not responsible enough for the family. But what is the truth? It is you who has been ignoring my feelings and forcing me to do things I don't like. Now it's okay, I made a mistake, are you satisfied?"

Xie Jianhua was speechless and felt deeply sad.

He understood that the conflicts between them had accumulated to the point where they could no longer be reconciled.

Lin Luping's selfishness, meanness and ruthlessness, as well as her belittling and indifference towards her daughter, made him feel extremely disappointed and heartbroken.

He knew that their relationship had come to an end, and all that was left was endless quarrels and hurt.

At that moment, Xie Jianhua made a decision.

He wanted to leave Lin Luping. He wanted to protect his daughter and never let her get hurt again.

It will be a difficult road, but he is ready and willing to give everything for his daughter's future.

He looked at Lin Luping deeply, without even asking about the matter of Lin Luping holding hands with another man, then turned and left.

At that moment, his heart was filled with determination and resolve.

He knew that from now on, they would go their separate ways and could never go back to the past.

At this moment, he made up his mind to cut ties with Lin Luping and was ready to move forward alone with his daughter.
