Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: Expelled from the Family!

Zhuang Jiaoyang looked at his father’s pained expression, feeling even more unable to bear it, and even secretly regretting. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Dad, it’s not your fault, it’s my fault."

Actually, when she was a child and Dad came home, he would spend time playing with her alone, but because she often didn’t see him, she was very afraid to be with him.

Mr. Zhuang opened his eyes and looked at her, "Are you sincere in admitting your mistake?"

"I am sincere." Zhuang Jiaoyang immediately said.

Just a moment ago, she was still angry, so when the second brother said he wanted to sever ties with her, she agreed without thinking, but now she was already somewhat regretting it.

They are a family, how could they quarrel over such trifles? Isn’t it just an apology? She realized she was wrong.

Mu Yan looked at Zhuang Jiaoyang, thinking that such a person is just like a dog that can’t stop eating shit. Apologize? Ha, once this breeze passes, she’ll revert back to her old ways.

The Zhuang Family loves to cover up for each other, so let them continue to do so, anyway, she doesn’t care.

She looked at Mr. Zhuang, and truth be told, she actually quite liked Grandpa, it’s just a shame that the only clear-minded person in the Zhuang family is also...

Mr. Zhuang looked at Zhuang Jiaoyang and said in a deep voice, "I hope you remember what you just said, knowing your mistakes and correcting them is the greatest good."

"I will change." Zhuang Jiaoyang quickly said.

Mr. Zhuang continued, "From now on, you don’t need to come back home, your mom and I don’t need your care, having your elder brother and sister-in-law is enough."

Zhuang Jiaoyang’s expression changed dramatically as she looked at him in disbelief, "Dad, what did you just say?"

Hu Zhiyuan was also a bit confused, did this mean they were expelling Jiaoyang from the family?

He hesitated and said, "Dad, Jiaoyang did make a mistake, but isn’t this too much, to drive her out of the house?"

Mr. Zhuang looked at his son-in-law and said, "Over the years, Jiaoyang has spent more time at her maternal home than in her husband’s home. I know your family has opinions, it’s just that they’ve held back out of respect for me. She does not have a good temperament, relying on her Zhuang surname, she hasn’t been very respectful to your parents either."

Hu Zhiyuan looked embarrassed and said, "Dad, you’ve misunderstood, Jiaoyang is quite nice."

The old man didn’t want to delve into the truth of his words either, "Mutual respect between husband and wife is essential. By constantly indulging her, you’re only spoiling her further. Tell your parents that since Zhuang Jiaoyang married into the Hu family, she’s their daughter-in-law, not a spoiled young lady of the Zhuang family. Let things be as they should."

The old man had said this before, but Hu Zhiyuan could feel that this time, the old man was serious.

He glanced at his wife, unsure whether to agree or not.

Mu Yan looked at the old man, her feelings were complicated. Happy? Not really. What would driving out Zhuang Jiaoyang achieve? Would it erase the grievances her mom suffered? It wouldn’t!

Zhuang Jiaoyang looked at her father, dissatisfied, and said, "Dad, how can you be so heartless, I’m your daughter!"

The old man looked at her, "I’d rather not have a daughter like you!"

Mrs. Zhuang looked at her husband, then at her daughter, choosing to remain silent.

What her husband said was as unchangeable as a decision made by eight horses pulling. Moreover, they had indeed spoiled Jiaoyang too much, it’s all her fault, the father-daughter rift, sibling rift, Ah Ning’s death, each weighing heavily on her heart.

Zhuang Jiaoyang looked at her father’s stern face, tears streaming down her face.

She suddenly laughed, "Fine, you don’t want to acknowledge me as your daughter, do you think I care about such biased parents? I’ll just leave, and even if you beg me in the future, I won’t come back."

As she spoke, she turned and walked outside.

"Jiaoyang!" Hu Zhiyuan shouted, picking up the bag she had dropped and prepared to chase after her.

After taking just two steps, he stopped, bid farewell to Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang, then ran out.

"Jiaoyang, wait for me!"

As soon as Zhuang Jiaoyang left, the room fell into a brief silence, suddenly Ruan Xinyu exclaimed, "Mom, what happened to you?"
