After they finished their meal, Xie Jianhua sent Lin Hui back.

Xie Yan was left alone at home. She was still thinking about Yang Shuang's self-exposure today, which really surprised her.

But it’s okay, it’s much easier to finish it early than late.

After what happened today, naturally no one in school would bother her anymore, and she felt relaxed and at ease.

But regarding Lin Luping, she didn't quite understand what her father was thinking.

He even had to help hide the fact that he was administratively detained and sent to the detention center from his grandparents. Xie Jianhua is still very resilient in his marriage.

After a while, Xie Jianhua rode his bike back to the family compound. While boiling water for Xie Yan to take a bath, he tried to talk to her about the topic of divorce.

He was not afraid of divorce, but he was afraid that divorce would have too much impact on the children. He had high expectations for Xie Yan.

My daughter is so smart, it would be a shame if she couldn't inherit my mantle.

"Yan Yan, what do you think of your mother? What kind of person do you think she is?" Xie Jianhua tried to start the conversation with another topic, hiding his thoughts more deeply.

On the contrary, it was Xie Yan. She looked at her father carefully, wondering if Xie Jianhua still wanted to protect Lin Luping.

Xie Yan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She also wanted to test her father's feelings.

"I...I don't know how to say this, I don't really like mom."

Xie Jianhua raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Lin Luping usually liked to interrupt whatever he said, so he took his daughter away alone.

She took the child with her wherever she went, and he thought the child loved his mother.

His brows relaxed slightly, and he wanted to consider his words, wondering how to tell Xie Yan that Lin Luping was in the detention center.

Xie Yan smiled and interrupted Xie Jianhua's thoughts: "Dad, do you have something you want to tell me?"

Xie Jianhua was slightly startled, and after a while he spoke: "Yes, Dad wants to tell you something."

Xie Yan twirled the chopsticks in her hand with great interest. This was a bad habit. In her previous life, Lin Luping would always hit her hand when she saw her twirling the chopsticks, saying that such a habit would bring bad luck to the family.

Is it bringing so-called bad luck to the family, or is it bringing bad luck to her at her gambling table, who knows?

Or perhaps, this is Lin Luping's obedience test.

Just like she hated eating sweet potatoes and Swiss chard, every time Xie Jianhua was not around, Lin Luping would cook a big pot of these dishes and force Xie Yan to eat them.

If Xie Yan refuses to eat, I will cook her every meal until she gives in.

Just like her worthless tears, she would cry and make a fuss whenever Xie Yan didn't act according to her ideas.

She spent her whole life testing the obedience of people around her. Except for Yao Yadong and his son, Lin Luping almost had everyone under her.

"Dad, do you want to tell me that my mom is in the detention center?" Xie Yan's voice was cold and without a trace of emotion. She stared into her father Xie Jianhua's eyes.

Xie Jianhua was originally thinking about how to tell the child about Lin Luping's affairs in a roundabout way. He never expected that Xie Yan already knew about it.

He was a little confused, reached out and touched his daughter's head, and asked curiously: "Yan Yan, how did you know?"

Xie Yan smiled playfully, put down her chopsticks, turned around and pulled out a book on veterinary pathology from Xie Jianhua's bookshelf, and wrote down the revised textbook with her little hands on the page marked by her father.

"Of course I know, because I was the one who called the police."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jianhua trembled all over, with an expression of astonishment on his face. He unconsciously took the handwriting that Xie Yan had revised and looked at it.

He glanced around casually, and in an instant, his whole body froze as if he was under a spell, and something seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.

He re-examined his eight-year-old daughter sitting in front of him. At this moment, he seemed to see an adult soul in her small body.

Why did Xie Yan call the police? Was it intentional or accidental?

Thousands of thoughts were swirling in his mind, and his voice was trembling a little.

"Did you call the police?"

"Yes, Dad, didn't you teach me? Gambling is a bad thing. If Mom does something bad, we should call the police to arrest her..." Xie Yan stared at Xie Jianhua thoughtfully, waiting for his reply.

"Is that so?" Hearing his daughter's childish voice speaking innocent words, his heart finally settled down. As expected, his daughter was only eight years old. How could she have the mind and eyes of an adult?

She was just... just like an ordinary girl, listening to her parents' teachings, and in a world of black and white, she naturally chose the white world.

Xie Jianhua sighed softly, his voice tinged with blame: "Why didn't you tell Dad this morning?"

Xie Yan rushed over and hugged her father, her childish voice softly and coquettishly saying, "Of course I'm afraid Dad will scold me! But I went through something today, and I decided to tell Dad the truth!"

Xie Jianhua took advantage of the situation and hugged his daughter, kissing her forehead. "My baby, what happened to you today?"

Xie Yan held her head high and patted her chest confidently: "I got a perfect score for my composition today!"

Xie Yan carefully told Xie Jianhua everything that had happened at school recently. The more Xie Jianhua listened, the tighter his brows furrowed.

It is obvious that her daughter has been bullied at school. How does Lin Luping usually manage her child?

Does she know about such a big thing?

Xie Jianhua struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask Xie Yan about her experience at school. At the same time, he blamed himself in his heart that he should have gone to the school to investigate when he found out that the girl deliberately targeted his daughter at the school sports meeting last time.

It's not that he doesn't want to take care of the child, nor that he doesn't take care of the child. It's that Lin Luping always refuses him to take care of the child and always tells him that the child doesn't like her father to have too much contact with her.

This is also Xie Jianhua’s first time being a father, how could he know so much?

Especially since he has a daughter and his brothers and sisters are all sons, it would be fine if he just let them be. Girls are more sensitive and delicate, so as a father, he naturally listens to Lin Luping's arrangements.

But Lin Luping is not a good mother. She doesn't care about what happens to her daughter in school. She only teaches her some feudal dregs.

For example: reflect on yourself.

Why would anyone hit you when no one else would...

It takes two to tango...

I often teach my daughter how to be humble and polite, but I never teach her to fight back when she is bullied or to talk back when she is scolded.

He really didn't know why Lin Luping wanted to discipline her daughter into such a stubborn character.

Only Lin Luping knew that by training Xie Yan to her current state, she could suck her blood without any hindrance.

"Have you told your mother about these things?" Xie Jianhua asked after thinking for a moment.

Xie Yan nodded, pretending to be ignorant and looking up, and asked, "I told you, Mom said that I was ignorant and that my classmates disliked me. Otherwise, why did they bully me and not others?"

When Xie Jianhua heard this, veins popped up on his forehead.

The decision to divorce is really not wrong!
