The entire room fell silent.
Just then, the hot water boiled, bubbling sounds clouding the air.
Mother Qiao broke the silence. "Was it because of the photos? Jiamu, I told you that Qiao Qiao and him are just friends..."
Xu Jiamu objected instantly, "No, it has nothing to do with my brother."
This time, Han Ruchu spoke. "Why then? Haven't you always liked Qiao Qiao?"
"I do like Qiao Qiao, but I've always treated her as a sister. Recently, I found a girl that I like more."
Xu Wanli violently placed the cup on the table, which resounded with a loud thump. In a furious voice, he shouted, "Bastard!"
Seeing how the situation had escalated, Qiao Anhao anxiously added, "I already agreed to the divorce."
Xu Wanli paused, swallowing his scolding.
