Chapter 29: Chapter 29: If Worse Comes to Worst, Get a Divorce

Cheng Su was truly infuriated. She knew that the bias favoring males over females was still severe nowadays. There was no need to look far; the Qi family itself valued boys more than girls, even if they didn’t treat women as worthless as mud. Even in her own parents’ house, her stepmother was biased towards her younger brother. Anything tasty or good to drink would first be given to him, spoiling him into a little tyrant.

Though boys were generally valued more, Mother Qi was still protective of her own daughter. But what about the Zhang family?

For the sake of the unborn child, diagnosed as a boy from a simple ultrasound, they were ready to forsake a living adult without a second thought. How chillingly coldhearted could they be?

She really wanted to know if these people were born from stones and not from a woman.

The looks Qi Fengping and Mother Qi gave Cheng Su were as if they were looking at a monster.

The Cheng Su from just moments ago was so domineering!

She seemed like a stranger, powerful and authoritative. They knew she had a temper, but they didn’t realize she could be so righteous and overbearing.

Without a word, she signed the papers. Where did that decisiveness come from?

And now, as she stood with her arms folded in front of the delivery room, she seemed like a guardian deity, forbidding evil spirits to stir trouble.

She wore a pale jade-green tunic, paired with trousers that reached just above her ankles, giving her a somewhat unconventional appearance.

But to Qi Fengping, she looked incredibly stylish because it revealed her slim, fair ankles, and the delicacy of her sandals only added to the beauty of her feet.

Looking at Cheng Su with her hair tied back in a ponytail, her neck appeared long and her stature tall. She never seemed this tall before.

Her expression, currently tight-lipped with anger, carried...

An aura that made her seem untouchable, her face etched with resolute decisiveness.

Qi Fengping actually saw a glimpse of their eldest brother in her!

Had she seen a ghost? This was not the same Cheng Su, the jealous type they knew!

Mother Qi also found it very strange, yet as a mother-in-law, she had to preside over matters. For generations, it was the role of the mother-in-law to take charge. Now, upon seeing Cheng Su’s demeanor, Mother Qi asserted her authority!

"You too, acting so hastily, signing as soon as you arrived, why didn’t you discuss it first? If something happens to Sister Feng, you’ll have to answer to me!" scowled Mother Qi at Cheng Su, frowning as she scolded, "And what on earth are you wearing? You don’t look respectable at all."

Cheng Su rolled her eyes inwardly, ignoring her latter remark, and retorted, "Discuss? You all have been discussing for hours without making a decision. Had Dad and I not arrived in time, you would still be haggling with the Zhang family. You all might be able to wait, but Qi Fenglian can’t. By the time you reach an agreement, she would have already..."

Under Mother Qi’s glaring stare, Cheng Su swallowed the last three ominous words she was about to say.

"Even so, you can’t just sign without consent, as if we’re using our influence to oppress the Zhang family. How is Sister Feng supposed to stay in the Zhang family after this? How can we continue like this?" Mother Qi said with a worried expression.

She wanted the best for her daughter and knew that once a woman was married, her life and death were in her husband’s family’s hands. Now with Cheng Su signing the papers to prioritize the adult over the child, if all turned out well, so be it, but if not, could the Zhang family still accommodate Sister Feng? What would happen to them, mother and daughter, in the future?

"Should she still lower herself to please such a family? A husband’s family that could dismiss her life, Mother, are you still concerned about her staying in that house?" Cheng Su was utterly astonished in her core beliefs and said, "If the Zhang family prefers the minor over the major, meaning they don’t care about her life, isn’t that the same as murder? Are you worried she won’t be able to cope? If it comes to that, then so be it, they can divorce!"
