CHAPTER 968: CHAPTER 969: RESOLUTE

To deal with someone, you must first know their weaknesses, and Mother Zhang’s weakness is her youngest son, Zhang Jiguang, and her daughter, Zhenzhu, something Qi Taiguo had long learned from Qi Fenglian.

Mother Zhang is biased, always favoring her youngest son and them.

So he seized on her weak point, her vulnerability, willing to attack this woman with children for the sake of his elder sister.

Call him cold-blooded, call him despicable, shameless, that’s right, he is despicable, but he’s only doing it for his family, nothing more.

For his family, he is willing to do anything.

Upon hearing Qi Taiguo’s threat, Mother Zhang didn’t dare make a sound. Who weighs more in her heart, her eldest son or her youngest, she knows well.

Is it worth destroying her youngest son’s future entirely for the sake of her eldest son?

Mother Zhang didn’t dare to gamble. She knows that the person before her would do as he says because Qi Taiguo has already become a high-ranking official, whereas the Zhang family has nothing at all.

Mother Zhang couldn’t wail any longer.

Qi Taiguo was satisfied, but he also felt a somber pity for Zhang Jisheng and for his elder sister.

He knew the old folks in this family were biased, but he didn’t know they could be biased to this extent; at critical moments, they were always the ones who got abandoned.

"Zhang Jisheng, we have been husband and wife, I will take good care of the child and won’t stop you from seeing him, take care of yourself." Qi Fenglian hugged her son tightly, looking at Zhang Jisheng with a calm face.

Zhang Jisheng rushed forward, kneeled in front of her, and pleaded bitterly, "Fenglian, don’t go, I beg you not to go. You’ve said it too, we’ve been married for over ten years, can you really bear to do this? I made a mistake just once, only once, and you’re so heartless not to give me a chance? Fenglian, I beg you, I will change, I’ll never dare again."

Qi Fenglian’s tears flowed down, and she said, "It’s not because you made this one mistake, but because you lack the responsibility of a man. Over the years, I’ve persevered with you for so long, but to this day, I still don’t see any hope; Zhang Jisheng, it’s not because of your mistake that I want a divorce, but because I see no hope. I am deeply disappointed in you."

Indeed, maybe what he did wasn’t such a big deal—she bit her lip, perhaps she could bear it and get through it—but the real reason she wanted a divorce was because there was no hope, only deep despair.

"Fenglian, I will change. Whatever you ask of me, I will do it. I will change." Zhang Jisheng started crying and, seeing his daughter, quickly said, "Yunyun, hurry, beg your mom not to leave; otherwise, you won’t have a dad!"

Xiao Yun suddenly started crying, and Cheng Su quickly held her and comforted her in his arms.

Qi Fenglian was quite disappointed; even at this moment, he still wanted to use the child.

"Let’s go!" Qi Fenglian resolutely turned and left.

Cheng Su followed closely behind.

"Once you’ve read this agreement, just sign it, and go to the civil affairs bureau in the next two days to complete the procedures," Qi Taiguo coldly looked at Zhang Jisheng.

Zhang Jisheng blankly watched as Qi Fenglian walked farther and farther away, and shouted, "Qi Fenglian!" However, that person didn’t turn back, and he couldn’t help but burst into tears.

The onlookers watched the drama unfold, unable to hold back their murmurs, saying things like it’s too ruthless, too harsh.

Qi Taiguo swept a cold gaze over, then followed after Qi Fenglian and the others.

As soon as they left, Mother Zhang called out, "Let her go, let her leave. She’s taking two burdens with her, I wonder who will want her in the future. Jisheng, don’t cry, later on, your mother will find you another wife, and have ten or eight grandchildren for you. What man is afraid of not finding a wife?" Yet how her words sounded so strong yet weak.

"Shut your mouth and go inside, haven’t we lost enough face already?" Father Zhang, with a dark face, pulled Mother Zhang and the others into the house,
