She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

When Tang's mother saw her come in, she whispered to her to go and persuade him, saying that he might have just been blinded by greed and didn't really mean to do anything bad.

Tang Jiao couldn't bear it any longer and was about to speak when Old Lady Xia rushed over and started hitting her.

"Second brother, you've really lost all shame. You're putting on this act just for Jiaojiao's benefit, aren't you? You really think you've done wrong? I don't believe it. If you, you dog, can know your mistakes, I'll call you Mom."

Chen Xiangnan: ...That's not necessary, but what's wrong with his mother? Why is she causing trouble at this time? Does she just not want him to be happy?

"Mom, what are you doing? What do you want me to do to make you believe me? Do you want me to atone with my death right now?" Chen Xiangnan asked, raising his head with red eyes. "Are you trying to force me to die?"

Tang's father also tried to persuade her, "Xiang Nan's mother, why don't we just let it go? They've already admitted their mistakes."

Grandma Xia glanced at Mr. Tang with disdain. "Let it go? Who was it that came to me saying I only gave birth but didn't raise your daughter and ruined her? Where did that anger go? I'm here to discipline my son, and you're all playing the good guys. Are you even Jiaojiao's biological father? She was almost cheated on, and you're telling me to let it go?"

Mr. Tang's face flushed red, and he stammered, "We have to give the child a chance to correct his mistakes. We can't just kill him with one blow. You've already hit him and scolded him, but you can't really make them divorce, can you?"

Grandma Xia didn't want to talk to this mentally unstable old man, so she turned to Tang Jiao and asked, "Jiao Jiao, what do you think? He's lost all sense of shame and self-respect now, and you still want to stay with him? Aren't you scared? He's using these tricks against you. If he makes a mistake again and kneels down, and you forgive him again, when you want to settle scores with him later, he'll say he's already knelt down, what more do you want? He can just kneel down again."

“Once he kneels down, you have to forgive him. After all, according to your father’s thinking, if a man is willing to kneel down to you, then he has done nothing wrong, and you will have another chance to correct your mistakes.”

Tang Jiao's expression changed slightly, and her attitude, which had just softened, immediately reverted to its previous state.

Upon hearing this, Tang's father fell into deep thought. Time and time again, he couldn't bear it; how could Tang Jiao possibly withstand such a blow?

Tang's mother glared even more angrily. After what Old Lady Xia said, she also felt that Chen Xiangnan was too extreme. How could a grown man be so shameless as to do such a thing? What else wouldn't he do in the future? It was simply terrifying.

Remembering that Tang's father had just been saying nice things, Tang's mother glared at him fiercely.

Tang's father touched his nose, feeling a little guilty. How could he have known that a person could be so complicated? He was a decent man; he never imagined things could turn out this way.

Chen Xiangnan finally couldn't hold back and shouted, "Mom, then tell me what you want me to do!"

Grandma Xia stroked his head, "Second son, of course Mom wants the best for you."

Chen Xiangnan: "So what do you mean now?"

Grandma Xia: "That depends on what Jiaojiao thinks."

Tang Jiao was being stared at by the mother and son. She didn't know what her mother-in-law meant, but Chen Xiangnan's gaze was pleading, which made Tang Jiao feel a lot of pressure.

She didn't know why she felt more stressed after her mother-in-law came. It was originally just a matter between her and her husband; she could make any decision she wanted, and she could justify herself whether they divorced or not.

But after her mother-in-law got involved, Tang Jiao felt that neither divorce nor staying together was right. If they divorced, Chen Xiangnan had knelt down and apologized, and she herself was a little reluctant to let him go; they still had a child, and she didn't want to abort it. But if they didn't divorce, she felt disappointed in Chen Xiangnan and also felt sorry for what her mother-in-law had said that night, as her mother-in-law thought Chen Xiangnan was completely wrong.

Tang Jiao was caught in a dilemma, then suddenly burst into tears and ran away.

Chen Xiangnan tried to get up and chase after her again, but Old Lady Xia kicked him in the chest, saying, "If you're going to kneel, then kneel properly." She then told Tang's parents to stay at home and went after them herself, saying that she would definitely bring the person back safely.
