The Xu Family’s atmosphere was lively tonight. Xu Zeqing returned home with the household registration book in his pocket, and hearing the young, dynamic music, a smile finally appeared on his grim face.

You Jingqiu keenly noticed a person standing at the gate, and upon a closer look, it was Xu Zeqing.

She quickly walked over, grabbed Xu Zeqing’s hand, and eagerly asked, "Have you really severed the parent-child relationship with Xu Xingguang?"

Xu Zeqing gloomily gave a hum, then mocked, "She is too young to understand the hardships of life, thinking that so-called true love can conquer everything. Once she’s lived a hard life for a while, she’ll realize how foolish her actions today are!"

Xu Zeqing always believed there would be a day when Xu Xingguang would regret it.

You Jingqiu didn’t care whether Xu Xingguang’s future life would be good or bad; she just wanted to make sure that Xu Xingguang was truly estranged from the Xu Family to be at ease.

You Jingqiu took the household registration book from Xu Zeqing’s hands, opened it to find that the page with Xu Xingguang’s personal information was missing, and even her name was gone from the main household page, which finally reassured her.

With a bright smile, she stuffed the household registration book back into Xu Zeqing’s arms, and, holding his arm tenderly, comforted him, "Don’t be too upset. She, Xu Xingguang, insists on severing the relationship, let her taste whether her life will be sweet or bitter on her own from now on."

"Besides, we still have Ming Yue and Jiaoyang. With them taking care of you in your old age, you don’t need to be too sad."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zeqing looked up at the lively crowd.

Seeing You Mingyue, who was adored by everyone, and You Jiaoyang drinking with Chu Zimu, the gloom of his heart immediately vanished. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Without the most disappointing Xu Xingguang, he still had an excellent son and a daughter who was about to become the young mistress of the Chu Family.

He suffered no loss.

Steadying his mind, Xu Zeqing said to You Jingqiu, "I brought gifts for all of you, come inside with me to get them."

Upon hearing this, You Jingqiu said, "I’ve already helped you open the gifts. Ming Yue really liked the bracelet and hairpin you bought her, and Jiaoyang also wore the tie clip you gave him."

Xu Zeqing was taken aback, and instinctively looked towards You Mingyue’s head.

Seeing the diamond hairpin on You Mingyue’s head, his eyes flickered.

That was something he bought for Xingguang.

But then he thought about how Xu Xingguang had severed their parent-child relationship, and Xu Zeqing instantly felt relieved.

So be it, such an unfilial daughter isn’t worthy of receiving his gift.

You Jingqiu handed a pair of jade earrings to Xu Zeqing, smiling charmingly and saying with allure, "These must be for me. Husband, help me put them on."

Xu Zeqing cooperatively put the earrings on You Jingqiu.

"Do they look good, husband?" You Jingqiu smiled charmingly at him; her face was still charming and elegant, but it couldn’t completely hide the subtle wrinkles left by time.

Looking at You Jingqiu’s face, a scene from last night with Xiao Nan at a hotel suddenly flashed in Xu Zeqing’s mind.

It was the first time for a young girl.

Her naive pain and forced composure lingered in Xu Zeqing’s memory.

"Husband?"

You Jingqiu looked at Xu Zeqing suspiciously, frowning as she asked, "What are you thinking? I’m asking you a question!"

Startled back to his senses, Xu Zeqing didn’t dare allow You Jingqiu to notice anything, so he quickly praised her, "Your skin is fair, and the earrings look great on you. When I passed by the mall counter, I thought of you as soon as I saw them."

Upon hearing this, You Jingqiu felt sweet inside.

She leaned against Xu Zeqing with a sense of hardship finally turning into sweetness and a sense of fulfillment in life.

With no Xu Xingguang, no Mo Yinshu, no old Xu Qingnian to annoy her, life afterward would only get more pleasing.

"Ming Yue, your mom and Mr. Xu have such a good relationship." Ming Yue’s friends looked enviously at You Jingqiu and Xu Zeqing whispering to each other affectionately while embracing.

In their eyes, although the process of Xu Zeqing and You Jingqiu being together was criticized, their relationship was genuinely good.

After all, people can’t guarantee loving only one person for a lifetime.

When Xu Zeqing met You Jingqiu, his previous wife, the great writer, had already passed away.

Now, with You Mingyue as Chu Zimu’s cherished one, who would dare offend her?

Everyone had to choose to say pleasant things to win over You Mingyue’s favor.

"My mom and Uncle Xu’s relationship is indeed very good, otherwise they wouldn’t have married." You Mingyue naturally hoped for her mother and Uncle Xu to grow old together.

"By the way, Ming Yue, are things between you and Mr. Chu also going well?"

Chu Zimu had maintained a clean reputation for years without any scandal with women; You Mingyue was the first.
