Zhang Jisheng was already feeling guilty, and with his father-in-law snapping at him like this, he felt even more guilty, his eyes dodging as he stammered, saying it was nothing, they just had a small argument.
But the more he couldn’t explain, the more Father Qi felt suspicious, and said, "If you don’t want to say, that’s fine. I will personally ask Fenglian and Taiguo. If it truly is that they look down on you and want a divorce, then I won’t acknowledge them as my children." Saying this, he turned to Mother Qi and said, "You, go, call Taiguo and ask what’s really going on."
Mother Qi acknowledged and quickly went inside.
Last month, Qi Taiguo got a promotion and received a bonus. He told Cheng Su about it, suggesting they install a phone back home. It would be more convenient for staying in touch in the future, without having to call other people’s houses for relaying the message.
Cheng Su agreed, so now the Qi family had a phone installed.
Seeing how things were turning, Zhang Jisheng panicked and wanted to leave.
Father Qi kept watching him and, seeing his change in expression, felt more convinced that something had happened that they didn’t know about.
"Father-in-law, um, we’ll leave now!" Zhang Jisheng said through a forced smile.
It was at this moment that Zhang Jisheng realized he might have made a foolish mistake. He should have kept things quiet and begged Qi Fenglian not to divorce, rather than blowing things up like this.
But now that things were blown up, what could he do?
His usual instinct told him that leaving was the best option.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? There’s a phone at home, and your mother-in-law already went to make the call. We’ll have a result soon." Father Qi said coldly.
