Quick transmigration: Don't Mess With The Devil(BL)

3.24

Zhang Arin finally managed to get a divorce from Gu Xihuai since she had a valid reason to do that even Gu Feng couldn't help persuade her anymore.

Zhang Lan looked at her daughter and didn't say much which caused his wife, He Qian to swallow down all the complaints she wanted to voice out.

(A/N: Tbh I as someone who never married, I never understand why some parents meddle with their children's marriage problem. I mean let them settle it themselves. Why are you trying to interfere? They are not kids anymore fgs. You can give advice but don't meddle/influence your kids decision by guilt-tripping them for example.)

"What are you going to do Arin? You're not young anymore so it seems unreasonable if I continue to control your life doesn't it?" Zhang Lan's voice sounded tired.

He is already in his late 70s and his eldest daughter is already in her mid 50s so what else could he say.

"Just let me live however I want. I've been asking that from you for a long time," Zhang Arin answered calmly.
 

She never expected much since she was young; she always knew that being born in a prestigious family came with both the privileges and disadvantages.
 

She could enjoy an easy prosperous life with seemingly limitless opportunity being laid in front of her but at the same time she needed to do or make choices that would benefit the family and the company.

As the eldest daughter, she has no say in her own marriage since marriage could also be used as a business deal that would benefit both families for a long time.

At first, she wanted to rebel but the moment she knew how naïve she was and how vile humans could be, she decided to obey her parents. But after more than 23 years of marriage, it ended just like that.

She wasn't stupid. She always knew Gu Xihuai wasn't a good man but since he never abused her or her son, she chose to turn a blind eye on whatever Gu Xihuai was doing and continue being a normal husband and wife.
 

But after her miscarriage, she knew she couldn't stay in this marriage but since her parents opposed her being divorce, she decided to relent one last time for the sake of her only son.

If Gu Xihuai continued being inconspicuous and didn't cross her moral line, Zhang Arin decided it wasn't that bad to be his wife until she died. But it seems he is worse than she thought.

"You guys already know that he will be apprehended by the police aren't you?" Zhang Arin asked after a long pause.

"What are you talking about? Do you think I'm crazy enough to report my own son-in-law?" He Qian burst in anger.

"Ehem, mom, you're already too old so why not tone it down," Zhang Aiming reminded her.

Zhang Lan remained silent since he knew nothing would come out when arguing with his wife and son.

"Xin, why not you go back to your room first?" Zhang Arin suggested it to his son.

Gu Xin remained on his seat, "It's fine mom. I'm already an adult and since you asked whether we know about it beforehand or not, the answer is yes but only uncle Aiming and I know about it. Grandpa and grandma know nothing."
