She walked over and hugged me tightly.
"Foolish child, why are you saying sorry to me? It's my fault for not being able to take good care of you. I should be the one apologizing to you."
"Mom..."
I cried out loud.
Mom patted my back, humming a lullaby.
"Sleep now, sleep now, my good daughter..."
In my mother's embrace, I fell asleep.
Mom gently wiped my cheeks with a towel.
"Xuan Xuan, you've always been so good and excellent since you were little. You are the greatest pride of my life. No matter what difficulties you face, always believe that you will be okay, you definitely will."
The next day, Mom accompanied me back to my in-laws' house.
I was going to discuss the divorce with Li Haoran.
When my mother-in-law heard I wanted a divorce, she nodded with a cold smile.
"Alright, I'll agree on behalf of Haoran, but I have one condition."
I looked at her.
"The custody of Yun Yun belongs to me; you can't take the child away. Also, all the money in the house is earned by Haoran, and you can't take a single cent!"
"Heh..."
I laughed.
"Yun Yun is my child; I gave birth to her and raised her. Why should I give her to you?"
"I can give up the house, but I want half of the income after marriage. I want 800,000; not a penny less!"
My mother-in-law glared at me and cursed fiercely.
"You’re talking nonsense! Are you trying to extort money? You had an illegitimate child and still want to take my son's money? I'll kill you!"
As she said this, she lunged toward me.
Mom quickly stood in front of me.
"How can you speak like that? Our Xuan Xuan married into your family and gave you children. Is it easy for us? How dare you bully us like this?"
"Get out!"
My mother-in-law pointed at my mom and shouted.
"Get out! You old hag!"
My mom wanted to argue back, but I grabbed her.
I looked at my mother-in-law's fierce face and at Li Haoran who seemed indifferent, and my heart felt numb.
This marriage must end.
Otherwise, I would die at their hands.
I stared coldly at them.
"Am I extorting money?"
"I want 800,000. Is that too much?"
I stood up, my gaze mockingly sweeping over my mother-in-law, Li Haoran, and the villa.
"Today, if you don't give me 800,000, I'll set this place on fire and take you all with me!"
My mother-in-law sneered, "You wouldn't dare!"
I laughed.
"What do I have to be afraid of?"
I took a steel rod out of my bag and smashed it down on the television.
Bang!
A loud crash startled everyone.
"I'll say it again: give me the money, or I'll set this house on fire, and we'll all perish together!"
As I spoke, I continued smashing things in the room—cabinets, display racks…
Li Haoran and his mother were completely stunned. They never expected that I, who had always been submissive, could do something like this. My mother quickly came over to hug me.
"Xuan Xuan, don't do this, calm down!"
I pushed my mother away and shouted loudly, "Give me money! Give me money! Give me money!"
"I'll give it! I'll give it!" Li Haoran shouted in fear. "Whatever I have, I'll give it!"
I stopped what I was doing and looked at Li Haoran. "Alright, first, the custody of Yun Yun belongs to me."
"Okay."
"Second, 800,000 yuan, give it to me now, and let's go file for divorce."
"Okay."
Finally, I got divorced. After the divorce, I returned to my mother's home. She prepared a room for me to stay in. I settled in. I knew this house was rented; my mother said she rented it to save on rent for me. In reality, the lease was only for one month. After a month, I would face the result of having nowhere to go. But I had no choice. I took Yun Yun with me and started a life of relying on each other with my mother.
