Chapter 310 - 309: No Mercy
Hearing Mr. Ding’s words, Ding Yating was a bit stunned. Could there be more to the story?
Did her parents divorce because her mother did something wrong?
Thinking of this, Ding Yating looked directly at Chen Meilian.
Chen Meilian saw her daughter’s expression and snorted coldly, saying, "What, do you also think it’s right for your father and me to divorce? I’ll tell you, I did nothing wrong. If I hadn’t done what I did, you wouldn’t be the eldest miss of the Ding Family now."
Hearing this, Ding Yating was startled.
"Mom, what are you saying... what do you mean?"
Even Shu Yunfang looked at Chen Meilian with a face full of suspicion.
Old Master Ding, hearing Chen Meilian say that, couldn’t help but snort coldly, "Humph... still unrepentant, thinking you did nothing wrong. In that case, why should I consider so much? Today, I will tell the whole story, so Yating can see whether you were right or wrong."
Although he wasn’t close to his daughter, he knew she was a person who distinguished right from wrong, unlike her mother.
In the end, Old Master Ding told the story of how Chen Meilian stole his seal and ordered people to assassinate Ding Yuejun, finally looking at Ding Yating and saying, "That Ding Yuejun is your biological sister."
"What..."
Ding Yating was full of shock, "This... how can this be possible? Isn’t my sister already...?" As soon as she spoke, Ding Yating stopped talking, realizing she had misspoken.
And when Old Master Ding heard what Ding Yating said, he looked at her sharply and said, "So you knew, looks like you knew what your mother did."
In the end, his eyes were full of disappointment.
He had originally thought Ding Yating was different from her mother, but it turned out he was mistaken.
Seeing her father’s disappointed expression, Ding Yating knew he misunderstood her, "Dad, I... I only recently found out I have a sister, but I really didn’t know that Mom actually..."
Yet in the end, she couldn’t finish her sentence.
What use were these words now? Her father surely wouldn’t believe her anymore, but neither did she understand why her mother did it, "Mom, why did you do it?"
"Why... you’re actually asking me why."
Chen Meilian’s expression was somewhat ugly, "Do you know that’s Wu Meng’s daughter? If your father brought her back, there would be nothing for you in the Ding Family anymore."
Hearing this, Ding Yating still somewhat disagreed with her mother’s view.
Even if her father liked that sister a lot, so what? She was still part of the Ding Family; this was an unchangeable fact. But now, after her mother did what she did, she truly ruined a good hand of cards.
Shu Yunfang, who had been silent on the side, was already shocked by these revelations.
Whether it was about her grandparents’ divorce or her mother having another sister, she felt it was all surreal, "Mom, when did you have a sister?"
Ding Yating had no mind to explain to her daughter at this moment. She only looked at Old Master Ding and said, "Dad, Mom was just confused for a while. Don’t be petty with her. Divorce is a big thing; let’s discuss it properly, okay, so you and Mom won’t regret it later."
"Humph... there’s nothing to discuss, and I won’t regret it either. My only regret is marrying her in the first place."
After finishing, Old Master Ding immediately called someone in.
"Help Chen Meilian pack her things properly, let her leave the Ding Family today. From now on, she won’t be the mistress of the Ding Family; she’s just a nobody."
"Dad..."
Seeing her father’s merciless action, Ding Yating felt utterly flustered, "Dad, don’t do this, let’s have a good talk."
However, this time, Old Master Ding was very determined and didn’t listen to Ding Yating, directly having people drive Chen Meilian out.
"If you want to stay in the house, you can stay; if not, you can leave too."
Hearing her father’s cold words, Ding Yating still felt a bit surreal about how things had turned out like this.
When Ding Yating and Shu Yunfang left, they both felt uneasy.
"Mom, did Grandma and Grandpa really divorce? Then... what do we do in the future? And when did you get an older sister, did Grandpa really have another woman?"
Hearing her daughter’s words, Ding Yating could only sigh helplessly and say, "Sigh... your grandma went too far this time. Now let’s go find your grandma first."
Yet Shu Yunfang held her mother back, saying, "Mom, Grandpa is still angry now. If we go find Grandma, he might take it out on us too. Let’s think about how to calm Grandpa down first."
Hearing this, Ding Yating hesitated.
And Shu Yunfang continued, "Mom, let’s go home and ask Dad. He always has good ideas."
Hearing this, Ding Yating finally relented and went home with her daughter.
However, when Shu Mingbo heard about Mr. Ding’s divorce from Chen Meilian, his face immediately changed.
"Your parents really divorced?"
"Yes, they really divorced."
Ding Yating felt her face burning when she thought about it. Her daughter was already so grown-up, and yet her parents divorced at this age. She didn’t intend to tell her husband about it, but since it was such a big deal, he would find out sooner or later, so she might as well tell him herself.
Upon hearing his wife’s confirmation, Shu Mingbo found it absurd.
His in-laws are so old, yet they divorced; saying it out loud would be laughable, but now wasn’t the time to think about that. He needed to understand what happened, "What happened, how did Mom and Dad end up divorced?"
Ding Yating opened her mouth but didn’t elaborate, as these were matters of the Ding Family’s past, and she wasn’t sure if it was appropriate to tell.
However, Shu Yunfang had already explained everything on the side.
"Dad, who would’ve thought Grandpa had another daughter. I suddenly have a new aunt out of nowhere."
After hearing his daughter’s words, Shu Mingbo also felt incredulous, cursing his mother-in-law once over. Either do things cleanly or don’t do them at all. Now it’s all been exposed by Old Master Ding, leading directly to a divorce.
Thinking of this, he also felt it was a tricky situation.
On the other side, after everyone left, Old Master Ding immediately instructed someone to accuse Chen Meilian.
He indeed promised Chen Meilian that he wouldn’t expose this incident if she signed the divorce papers, but he never said he wouldn’t expose her past misdeeds.
You really don’t know until you investigate, and once you investigate, it’s shocking.
All these years, Chen Meilian had secretly done so many things behind his back, and he even discovered some clues pointing to Xiao Huan’s disappearance not being so simple. This time, he wanted to make sure she couldn’t escape.
