After nonstop work, the designs were finally finished and the factory could finally start producing the spring designs.
Father Miao had also found out by now about what Zhang Jiasen’s mother. The moment Ning Shu got home, Father Miao looked over with heartache and asked, “Why didn’t you tell us about this? That family’s seriously full of bastards.”
“If we had known that those people were like this, there was no way we would have allowed you to marry into that family.” Mother Miao was also infuriated.
Father Miao’s facial color worsened even more. He was so angry that his face was slightly purple. The moment Ning Shu saw, she had a bad feeling and hastily tried to calm him down.
He looked like he was about to get high blood pressure due to anger. Ning Shu hastily shouted to Mother Miao, “Mom, hurry and get a needle.”
Mother Miao could also see that something was off with Father Miao so she quickly got Ning Shu a needle. Ning Shu directly inserted the needle in Father Miao’s purlicue. When she pulled it out, a stream of blood spurted out.
After this blood was released, Father Miao’s blood pressure finally stopped increasing and his facial color wasn’t as purple anymore.
Mother Miao was alarmed. “Dear, how are you feeling?”
Father Miao was very dizzy and he breathed heavily as he lay on the sofa. Ning Shu massaged Father Miao’s hand.
Mother Miao got a damp towel to wipe Father Miao’s face. She had tears in her eyes.
Ning Shu furrowed her brows. She had been busy with the designs during this past period of time and was mentally and physically exhausted. She got home very late each night, so she had Mother Miao make all of Father Miao’s food.
It was a while before Father Miao recovered enough to speak and he said weakly, “People sure become useless once they get old.”
“Dad, have you been eating the medicinal dishes that I told you to eat?” asked Ning Shu.
“He did. I watched to make sure he ate it every day,” said Mother Miao.
Ning Shu narrowed her eyes slightly as she said, “Dad, trust me. I can handle this, so don’t worry about it.”
Father Miao gave a gratified smile. “Dad has no regrets even passing away in this moment after seeing how strong you are now.”
Ning Shu: …
Ning Shu gave Father Miao a massage as she mulled over things. Father Miao looked towards Ning Shu like he had something to say but then stopped himself.
“Dad, if you have something to say, just say it.”
After a moment of hesitation, Father Miao asked, “Miaomiao, do you love Zhang Jiasen a lot? To the point that he’s the only one you’ll accept in this lifetime?”
Ning Shu laughed. “There’s no one that will die without someone else.”
Father Miao’s facial color finally improved slightly after hearing this and he said to Ning Shu, “It’s late. You should go to bed. Dad’s fine.”
Ning Shu nodded, then said to Father Miao, “Dad, look after your health properly alright? I can live without Zhang Jiasen, but I can’t without you.”
Father Miao laughed as he patted Ning Shu’s back. “My dear daughter.”
Ning Shu showered, then lay down on the bed and called Zhang Jiasen. The moment it connected, she said, “Zhang Jiasen, let’s get divorced.”
“Miaomiao, what’s wrong?” Zhang Jiasen’s voice carried a faint contained tremble, giving people the impression that he was very shocked and hurt.
Ning Shu crossed her legs and started digging at her other ear with her pinky as she replied mildly, “I never realized how much your parents dislike me. Your mother causes a ruckus at the factory every day and curses for me to go die. Don’t say that it’s because she thinks of me as part of the family again. If she thought of me as part of the family, would she curse at me like that? She says that black-hearted people like me will be struck down by lighting. This is something you say to those you hate.”
“It’s only now that I realize marriage is something between two families. My dad almost got high blood pressure from anger.” Ning Shu said directly, “So we should get divorced.”
