"If you don't arrange a wedding for me and Xiaoqian, I will sever my parental relationship with you."
"From now on, you go your way and I'll go mine; we won't have anything to do with each other."
"Fine, that's what you said."
My dad clutched his chest and closed his eyes in pain.
"Xiao Wang, our family has no money now."
"Your mom's medical treatment has drained all the family's savings."
"If you really care about Xiaoqian, just give up the wedding."
"Impossible."
Chen Wang didn't think twice and turned to leave.
Li Qian hurriedly followed him out of the hospital.
In the hospital room, my dad covered his face and shed tears.
"Xiao Qiu, it's Dad's fault for not being capable and not raising Xiao Wang well."
"Dad, don't say that."
I gently patted his back.
"You still have me."
My dad looked up, his eyes filled with pain.
"Xiao Qiu, do you think Xiao Wang hates me?"
"How could he?"
I softly reassured him.
"He just got confused for a moment."
"When he comes to his senses, he'll return."
My dad wiped his tears and forced a smile.
"Yes, when he suffers a setback, he'll understand the value of home."
In the following days, we sold our old house and bought a new one. On moving day, I looked at the large villa in front of me, unable to suppress a smile. After the move, our family of three lived better than before. However, Chen Wang was not so fortunate. After that day, he truly left home. He changed his surname to He, the same as Li Qian's ex-husband. This action sparked discussions among those around him, but he seemed completely indifferent.
He took out loans everywhere to gather enough money for the wedding and married Li Qian in a grand ceremony. However, after the wedding, his life became difficult. To repay the loans, he had to work three jobs a day. One day while I was out shopping, I happened to run into Chen Wang. His face was haggard, his eyes dull and lifeless, and he looked completely worn out. It was clear that he was struggling.
“Xiao Wang,” I called out to him.
“Mom is awake.”
“Oh,” he replied flatly.
“What does that have to do with me?”
“Since the moment you kicked me out, I am no longer part of the Li Family.”
“Do you really feel that way?” I stared at him intently.
"Have your parents treated you well from childhood to now?"
"Ask yourself with a clear conscience."
"For you, your parents sold the house and went bankrupt to give you a wedding."
"But what about you? How have you treated us?"
"You'd rather believe that outsider, Li Qian, than trust your own parents."
"Chen Wang, you really have no conscience."
"Shut up."
Chen Wang shot me a fierce glare.
"Li Qian treats me well; she loves me and can't live without me."
"She's pregnant with my child and is willing to marry me. How could I betray her?"
"Besides, you kicked me out because you didn't want me to burden you, right?"
"Now that you're living well and I have a new life, isn't that a happy ending for everyone?"
"I've never regretted leaving home."
"Oh really?"
I let out a cold laugh.
Li Qian loves him?
She doesn't love him at all.
She's about to give birth and has no one to take care of her, so she's relying on Chen Wang.
Right now, Chen Wang is just a free babysitter for her.
Once she has the baby, who would still want this useless waste?
