Chapter 758: Chapter 758: People Shouldn’t be Spoiled - Part 1
Having said all that could be said, He Xiaohui completely gave up hope as her parents remained indifferent.
She shook her head helplessly and said to Luo Ning, "Ning’er, do you drive? Can you take me away? All I want is to leave this place forever."
The death of her best friend’s spirit deeply resonated with Luo Ning.
Back when Mo Han went bankrupt and his daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, his mother tried every way to make him divorce so she could find a rich second-generation or wealthy old man to remarry.
To treat Chen Chen’s disease, she cried and begged her mother for 300,000 yuan, but at that time her mother was completely intransigent, not only refusing to lend the money but also arranging several blind dates for her.
Luo Ning genuinely felt Ning’er’s parents, who were so irrational and fixated on money, were unworthy of her.
She nodded, passing a pack of tissues from her trench coat pocket, "Yeah, Mo Han and I have a car."
"Since it’s not very convenient at home, let’s find a hotel to rest for the night. Tomorrow, Mo Han and I will drive you to the wedding venue!"
"Mm."
He Xiaohui nodded and, without looking back, headed for the door.
"Where do you think you’re going? Who gave you permission to leave?"
He Xiaohui’s father instantly flew into a rage. He sprang up from his chair and pointed a rolling pin at his daughter, "Nobody’s taking you away today!"
His voice paused, and he pointed the rolling pin towards Luo Ning and Mo Han, snarling, "You two get out! This is the He Family’s affair, and it’s none of your business!"
With that, he waved the rolling pin, looking as though he would attack if Mo Han didn’t leave immediately.
At that moment, Mo Han stepped forward, positioning himself in front of He Xiaohui and his wife. He tilted his head slightly and asked He Xiaohui calmly, "Shall we go now?"
"Mm."
He Xiaohui didn’t hesitate at all and nodded firmly.
She had no attachment to this household and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Good!"
Mo Han replied and looked coldly at He Gang, "Uncle, please step aside. Otherwise, I will call the police right now for unlawful detainment!"
He didn’t want to resort to violence, so he invoked the police in hopes of making the other party back down.
"Call the police? You call! I’ve been wanting to call myself!"
He Yunke, who Mo Han had knocked to the ground earlier, was already irked.
And seeing Mo Han with such a stunningly beautiful wife only fueled his anger. He said coldly, "You intruded into a private home and are trying to forcibly take my sister away! I really want to see who the police will lock up when they arrive."
Mo Han let out a cold laugh, took out his phone, and read out the marriage law he’d just looked up:
"According to Article 3 of the General Principles of the Jiuzhou Marriage Law, arranging, selling marriages and any other interference with the freedom to marry is prohibited. It is also forbidden to solicit property through marriage."
"Article 43 of Chapter 5 states that in cases of domestic violence, the victim has the right to seek assistance, and neighborhood or village committees must intervene. The police have an obligation to stop it."
"Those who commit domestic violence or abuse family members, and on receiving a request from the victim, shall be administratively penalized by police in accordance with the law governing public security. Those who cause serious consequences may be held criminally liable!"
Having read this far, he swept a glance over the faces of the He family members and said in a cold voice, "Your acts of coercing He Xiaohui for a dowry and forcing her to have an abortion not only violate basic morality but also the Jiuzhou Marriage Law!"
"As long as He Xiaohui is willing, she can go to the police center in Lu County to file a report right now! Then you, you, you will all be locked up!"
"I want to see just how hard-headed any of you are!"
He Xiaohui’s parents didn’t understand the law, but listening to Mo Han speak with such confidence, they suddenly became fearful.
If we push our daughter too hard and she runs to the police center to make a report, will we all get arrested?
"Nonsense! Bringing up that damn ’Jiuzhou Marriage Law’."
He Yunke, however, didn’t take it seriously and said, "Isn’t it just about asking my sister to demand another hundred thousand yuan for the dowry from that Peng guy? This kind of thing is common in our county! I don’t believe those police officers really have that much free time!"
"Even if by some chance they did intervene, do you think my sister would have the heart to report and send her dad, her mom, and her brother to jail?"
The expression on He Xiaohui’s face became complex all at once.
She truly wanted to be with Peng Ye, but if marrying him meant sending her family to jail, she probably would never be able to return to this home.
"He Xiaohui, although I haven’t met you many times, I know that you are a kind-hearted girl."
Seeing that Ning’er’s best friend was constantly changing expressions, Mo Han, worried she might soften, spoke emphatically, "But sometimes, you can’t be too kind! There are some people you just can’t indulge!"
"The more you give in, the more they will take advantage of you!"
"The more tender-hearted you are, the more ruthless they will become!"
"They treat your sacrifices as a given, and see your suffering as willing!"
"If you don’t teach them a lesson, they’ll think you are someone they can knead into any shape and bully at will!"
"You are human, not a tool for the He Family to amass wealth with!"
Upon hearing these words, He Xiaohui immediately felt enlightened.
For over twenty years, she had always obeyed her parents, doing whatever they asked of her.
After graduating from college, she had wanted to find a job in big cities like Dragon City, Feng City, or the Magic Capital, but her parents insisted she come back home and even had her work at a school close to home.
When her brother accumulated a huge gambling debt, it was she who used her own savings from two years of salary and tutoring to help him pay it off.
She had done so much for her parents and brother, but had any of them really considered her feelings?
Today, her parents might take Peng Ye’s hundred thousand yuan; tomorrow, it could be two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, five hundred thousand!
This was a bottomless pit...
Ning’er’s husband was right, I am a person, not a tool for the He Family to accumulate wealth!
Realizing this, He Xiaohui nodded firmly. This time, there was no confusion in her eyes, only thick determination.
She had made up her mind – even if it meant severing ties with the He Family today, she would still fight for her own happiness.
"Dad, Mom, Xiao Ke! Please move aside!"
"If any of you try to stop me from getting married again or if you try to make me abort the child in my womb, I swear, I’ll definitely call the police and have you all arrested!"
