Shi Rui paused for a moment. Suddenly, a determined look flashed across his eyes as if he had made a decision. "I said I will take responsibility!"
Everyone was surprised by the events that happened that morning.
Shi Jue's patience had already disappeared.
He asked Xia Weiyang to put down Dian Dian and then passed Du Du to her. He walked forward and stared at Jian Qingqiu and Shi Rui with his sharp eyes. His thin lips held a sarcastic smile.
"What a touching scene!"
Just as Shi Rui was about to get angry, Shi Jue opened his mouth again. "Dad, I only want to ask you one thing. You want to be responsible for this old woman. How are you going to do that?"
"Shi Jue, remember that you are my son! Don't be disrespectful!" Shi Rui roared.
However, Shi Jue was not angry. He continued to stare at both of them, "Dad, you just have to tell me. Do you want to marry her, or do you just want to keep her as your lover?"
Before Shi Rui could speak, Jian Qingqiu tugged on his sleeve. Her well-maintained face was full of tenderness. "Shi Rui, I don't need to..."
Suddenly, Shi Rui grabbed Jian Qingqiu's hand. He was initially hesitant, but now he felt determined. He looked at Shi Xun, ignoring Shi Jue. "Father, I want to marry Jian Qingqiu."
The old man did not show his emotions at that moment. He only glanced indifferently at Shi Rui, who had hit his head against the wall. "Have you thought it through? Make sure that you won't regret your decision."
"I won't regret it," Shi Rui said as he tightened his grip on Jian Qingqiu's hand.
The old man glanced at Shi Jue. Then, his gaze fell on Shi Rui. He sighed slightly. "Alright. Get a divorce from your wife first."
Shi Xun was determined to kick Shi Rui out of the family.
"Thank you, father." Shi Rui felt happy. He was so excited that a wide smile appeared on his face. He pulled Jian Qingqiu into his arms. "Did you hear that? Father has agreed to our marriage. Father has agreed!"
Jian Qingqiu rolled her eyes as a trace of doubt flashed through her mind.
Shi Xun had always been against Shi Rui and Jian Qingqiu. Why did he suddenly change?
Was it because she was able to successfully seduce Shi Rui?
Jian Qingqiu could not think of any other reason.
Luo Qingling, who had arrived late, eventually learned about her mother's news. Despite what happened to her that morning, she still felt happy.
She looked at Xia Weiyang with a smug look.
'Hmph! It doesn't matter if Shi Jue likes you. I'll still emerge as the winner in the end!' Luo Qingling thought to herself.
'Even though you have given birth to his children, you are not yet married to Shi Jue. I still have time to steal him from you!'
Shi Jue obviously understood what the old man meant. He looked deeply at Shi Rui and the others. "If you want a divorce, do it as soon as possible." Shi Jue then left with Xia Weiyang and their children.
On the way back to the dining hall, Xia Weiyang glanced at Shi Jue. "Do you think your father will get a divorce immediately?"
"He should. I don't want those two women to stay here for another day," Shi Jue said as a cold light flashed across his eyes.
Shi Jue was planning on going after the two women once Shi Rui was out of the family.
