Chapter 59
Since that day, Tao Le never returned to the home she shared with Su Yiwen. Although she was staying at her parents’, life wasn’t comfortable. Especially for Tao’s parents, ever since their daughter came back that night, they sensed something was off. They called Su Yiwen to find out what had happened, but his responses were evasive. They figured the young couple must have had a fight, and it was quite serious. Of course, Su Yiwen almost visited Tao’s home every day, desperate to bring his wife back, but now, not only was he unable to take her home, he couldn’t even see her. One could say that door simply wouldn’t open for him. Although he had the parents’ permission to come home, Tao Le was a different story.
It was another weekend, and for Tao’s mother, the day started with her routine of trying to mediate. Facing Tao Le, who was curled up in bed, she felt helpless. “Lele, do you think it’s worth getting to this point with Yiwen? Couples argue, that’s just life. Look at your dad and me, we argue every day, yet we’ve managed all these years. Listen to your mom, don’t hold a grudge, talk it out with him.” Tao Le remained silent; if their issues could be resolved with just a talk, she wouldn’t be worrying here. After this incident, she was losing confidence in their marriage, especially now with a child on the way. Could they even be considered good parents in this state?
Seeing no response from her daughter, Tao’s mother was frantic inside. “You’re turning twenty-four after the New Year, you’re going to be a mother. What does it look like running back to your parents’ house? What will I say to his parents when they ask?” Tao Le then looked up at her mother. “After all that, aren’t you just worried about saving face for you and dad? Are we afraid of the Su family?”
Tao’s mother was momentarily speechless. “Uh… I’m doing this for your own good. Do you really want a divorce by acting like this?”
