After The Divorce, My Dad Was Abused and Cried - Chapter 20
Liu Yinyin, who was standing nearby, turned pale as she listened to the conversation between Jian Muyu and the others.
Her tearful face was heartbreaking to see.
It is said that the only thing a man can’t resist is a woman’s tears.
And she could never learn to act like this.
No wonder Xi Peijue never took her seriously.
“Peijue, let go of Miss Jian first. My dad is still here.” Liu Yinyin really didn’t want to see Xi Peijue and Jian Muyu entangled, so she brought up her own father.
But Xi Peijue turned a deaf ear to her, as if he didn’t care about them at all.
“Peijue, don’t you even want Xiaoyan anymore?” Seeing Xi Peijue’s unmoved look, Liu Yinyin could only whisper.
Hearing Xiaoyan’s name, Xi Peijue’s expression finally changed.
Then he slowly let go of Jian Muyu’s hand.
After being freed, Jian Muyu felt a touch of self-mockery in his heart.
Look, all it takes is Liu Yinyin’s red eyes and some flirting, and Xi Peijue will surrender unconditionally.
Just like six years ago.
She had even naively wanted to compete with Liu Yinyin.
How ridiculous!
Jian Muyu calmed down and turned to walk towards the exit, her back unwavering.
Although Xi Peijue didn’t stop her, his eyes never left Jian Muyu.
“Excuse me, please go ahead.” Pei Yichen glanced at Xi Peijue, then hurried after Jian Muyu.
After leaving the law firm, Jian Muyu’s tense body finally relaxed slightly.
“Muyu, are you okay?” Pei Yichen gave her a worried look.
“I’m fine, it’s just some old stuff, long gone.” Jian Muyu forced a smile.
But Pei Yichen reached out and covered her eyes.
“Don’t laugh if you don’t want to,” Pei Yichen said, his voice a little lowered.
When Jian Muyu heard this, she felt a pang of sourness in her eyes.
But in the end, she swallowed the sourness back.
She was no longer the humble Jian Muyu who prayed Xi Peijue to look back at her every day.
She would never shed a tear for that man again!
Otherwise, it would be too unfair to her child who she didn’t even have the chance to see.
Xi Peijue, owed her a life!
He could never repay it in his lifetime!
“See, you lost this time, remember to treat me to a meal.” After Jian Muyu calmed down, she took Pei Yichen’s hand away.
Pei Yichen remembered that Xi Peijue’s eyes had been on Jian Muyu just now, and he seemed to want to say something.
But looking at Jian Muyu who was pretending to be happy in front of him, he swallowed the words on his lips again.
Let’s talk about this later.
“Wait for me here, I’ll drive you back.” Pei Yichen said slowly.
“No need. Today is your home day. Those guests are here just for you. If you run away halfway, they will think you are neglecting them.” Jian Muyu declined.
“It’s okay. I’ll take you home and it won’t take much time to come back.” Pei Yichen’s attitude was very persistent.
Jian Muyu’s persuasion was in vain and he had to compromise in the end.
In the law firm,
after Jian Muyu left, Liu Yinyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she looked up at Xi Peijue and forced a gentle smile.
“Peijue, why are you here today?”
She had specifically inquired before, and Xi Peijue did not receive an invitation from Pei Yichen.
That’s why she dared to follow his father here.
“Then why are you here?” Xi Peijue’s eyes circled between Liu Yinyin and Liu Dezhou.
“I…” Liu Yinyin didn’t know how to explain for a moment.
If she said that she and her father came here to see a lawyer, Xi Peijue would definitely be angry.
“I know exactly what you’re planning, but I can tell you straight up: Xiaoyan is the Xi family’s child, and no one can take her away!”
Xi Peijue said this before turning and walking away.
He didn’t even spare a glance at Liu Yinyin or the Liu family.
“Peijue…” Liu Yinyin tried to catch up, but Liu Dezhou, standing nearby, held her back.
“Why are you still chasing after him? Xi Peijue’s expression clearly shows he doesn’t care about you!”
“Dad, Peijue isn’t usually like this. He might just be in a bad mood today,” Liu Yinyin explained.
“Just because he’s in a bad mood, does that mean he’s glaring at you?”
“He’s still in the mood to flirt with other women. I think he’s in a good mood!”
“And what was that attitude just now? He didn’t even say hello when he saw me, and he even warned me?”
“Does he even have me as his elder in his eyes?” Liu Dezhou was furious.
“Dad, Peijue probably thought you were trying to steal Xiaoyan from him, that’s why he acted like that,” Liu Yinyin explained.
“What do you mean by robbing? Xiaoyan is your child, so she’s our Liu family’s child. What’s wrong with me taking our child back?!” Liu Dezhou said firmly.
“I’m not saying you’re wrong. It’s just that Xiaoyan has been raised in the Xi family for so many years, and he’s already used to it.” Liu Yinyin’s voice softened.
Although she intended to help her father fight for custody of Xiaoyan,
she simply wanted to use this to force Xi Peijue to compromise and marry her. She
had no intention of actually letting that little bastard return to the Liu family with her.
But Xiaoyan’s parents didn’t know her background.
Liu Yinyin didn’t know how to explain it.
“You kept telling me Xi Peijue would marry you, so I kept you and Xiaoyan in the Xi family.”
“But how many years have passed now? You’re still nameless and without status. How could a daughter of the Liu family endure such an injustice?”
“I’m telling you, with Xi Peijue’s attitude today, I’m determined to take Xiaoyan back to the Liu family! You can do whatever you want.” Liu Dezhou was clearly angry, and with that, he walked away.
“Dad…” Liu Yinyin’s brows knitted together, her tone tinged with pleading.
But this time, Liu Dezhou showed no mercy and left without looking back.
Liu Yinyin was left standing there alone, looking depressed.
But now she couldn’t care less about comforting her father.
Jian Muyu was back, and Xi Peijue seemed to have made contact with her.
An unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly emerged.
She had to find Xi Peijue!
She absolutely couldn’t let Jian Muyu seduce him again.
She had waited for so many years, planned for so many years.
She absolutely couldn’t fail at this moment!
Liu Yinyin also hurriedly chased after him.
