Peng Ye's words hung in the air, and silence suddenly filled the car.
He Xiaohui's mouth opened slightly, a bitter smile appearing on her face. Her uncle and aunt would rather their own child be a scapegoat than have her as their daughter-in-law. How painful that must be.
Mo Han and Luo Ning exchanged glances, both noticing the surprise and helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Daddy, what does 'scapegoat' mean?"
At this moment, Mo Xiaochen, who was sitting in the front seat, asked in confusion.
Mo Han smiled awkwardly and did not answer, simply stroking his daughter's head.
"Xiao Hui, wait for a moment, I'll go out and explain things clearly!"
Seeing the paleness on his girlfriend's face, Peng Ye knew that for Xiao Hui, for his own marriage, he had to step up and clarify things himself.
He Xiaohui bit her red lips and whispered, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the car."
"Hmm."
Peng Ye pushed open the car door, brushed off his mother's hand, and strode out.
