Chapter 447: Chapter 447

"Wu Pingxuan, this has nothing to do with anyone else. I haven’t fallen in love with someone else, and it’s not because my parents want a child and are forcing me to divorce. I just don’t want to be with you. For the first time, I see your true colors.

You are a selfish and ruthless woman. In your heart, there is only yourself, not even your parents, who love you as much as their own lives. You’ve never truly cared about them.

How can I dare to love a woman like you? How can I dare to like you? Right now, I still have value in your eyes; I can still take care of you, pamper you, and love you. Naturally, you’re good to me. But what about when one day I am old, unable to move, and in need of care?

At that time, I’m afraid your true nature will be exposed, and I don’t want to end up so miserably. I want to live my life, at least without constant fear. I want to have family around me, at least loving.

But you, you make me feel scared. Even thinking about having slept by your side for so many years makes my heart race. A woman like you is truly terrifying.

I don’t want to spend another day with you. And as for hitting someone when they’re down, use your brain. You’re the daughter of the Wu family; who’s daring enough to strike you so viciously? Who dares to set you up , getting you fired?

Without the Wu family putting in a word, who would be stupid enough to do this without informing your father and brothers? You’ve relied on the Wu family’s power to act fecklessly outside all these years.

If you truly used your brain, even ten of you wouldn’t be a match for others.

Wu Pingxuan, wake up. Do you not know who got you expelled despite doing so many things yourself? Even I know the outrageous things you’ve done. Your older brother made it clear that day, telling you not to act rashly and not to have those little thoughts.

But what did you do? You agreed emphatically, then turned around and ran off immediately. Do you think your older brother is a pushover? Is Doctor Wu from the tales of the past such a simple character?"

With that, Meng Ran slammed the door and left.

Leaving a stunned Wu Pingxuan behind.

It’s my older brother!

It was actually the brother she despised.

She got fired, lost her job, and now Meng Ran wants a divorce.

Are they trying to force her to death?

Fuming with anger, Wu Pingxuan picked up the phone.

She would not be beaten down.

She is the most beloved daughter of the Wu family. What is Wu Weiguo, after all these years as a released convict, able to influence others’ decisions?

She doesn’t believe it!

She dialed the family phone.

Wu Pingjing answered the call; their mother had already been discharged from the hospital, brought back home.

But their mother could only lie in bed, blankly staring out the window, unable to speak or move, sometimes tearing up alone.

At that time, he saw his older brother hiding behind the door, crying secretly.

Their father cried as well.

All the men in their family were crying.

The second brother and second sister-in-law were severely ill out of guilt for not being by their mother’s side, almost dying.

Their home was now shrouded in grief.

There’s hardly any liveliness at home now.

It seems filled with sadness and pain.

Even Xiao Cheng doesn’t dare to casually walk in the garden.

Afraid that seeing his grandma would upset her.

Yet the real culprit escaped, fleeing without a trace.

When Wu Pingjing realized it was Wu Pingxuan’s voice on the phone, he felt no emotional stir.

Truth be told, he was thoroughly disappointed with this sister.

"Third Brother, I’ve been fired. Can you ask Dad what’s going on? Why was I fired? I don’t want to be fired. If Dad makes a call, I can go back to work. Hand the phone to Dad."

Wu Pingxuan was still as arrogantly presumptuous as ever.

"There’s no need to look for Dad. Dad doesn’t want to see you at all. After doing such things, do you have the face to call the family? How thick is your skin? Let me tell you plainly, your dismissal was arranged by our older brother. He used his connections to have someone notify those above.

Both Second Brother and I agreed. It was a unanimous decision by the three of us. When Dad learned about it, he also agreed. Dad said he doesn’t have such an ungrateful daughter. You deserved it!

Our older brother was right. You should be thankful you’re our blood sibling, or you’d already be dead!"

Wu Pingjing spoke the most venomous words without a ripple in his heart.

This isn’t his sister.

Wu Pingxuan roared, "Wu Weiguo, what right does he have to do this? I’m his sister, I..."

"Haha, what right? Do you even need to ask? Think carefully, don’t call again in the future. This house doesn’t welcome you at all. The farther you go, the better, you have no place here. We don’t have a sister named Wu Pingxuan, only a beast who drove our mother to paralysis."

Wu Pingjing was about to hang up the phone.

Wu Pingxuan shouted in panic.

"Third Brother, Meng Ran wants to divorce me. Now I’m all alone, without a job or a husband, and you’re ignoring me. Are you forcing me to die? Aren’t you afraid that Mom will hate you all if she finds out?"

"Haha, Meng Ran finally sees the light. I’m glad he had the courage to escape this misery. Also, you know Mom’s nature, right? Will Mom hate us? Don’t joke. Mom will be glad we’ve severed ties for righteousness."

Wu Pingjing hung up the phone, feeling a bittersweet pang in his heart.

Relieved yet saddened.

The fact that their biological sister was dealt with by their own hands—how shocking if known to others.

But they had no regrets.

Wu Pingxuan deserved it.

Wu Pingxuan on the other end was truly dumbfounded.

She never expected that the family was serious.

Her heart was in turmoil.

In the days that followed, Wu Pingxuan was in a state of disarray.

Fired from work, everyone who saw her was sarcastic.

The house they lived in was assigned by the company, and although Meng Ran said she could keep all the assets, the house was company property. Without a job, the house would naturally be taken back.

If the Wu family were still involved, Wu Pingxuan wouldn’t have to move.

But now the Wu family completely ignored Wu Pingxuan.

The house was reclaimed.

No matter how Wu Pingxuan cried and made a scene, she couldn’t help it.

She even received calls from Meng Ran urging her to finalize the divorce.

Wu Pingxuan went to plead, humbled herself and said many nice words, but Meng Ran was determined.

Wu Pingxuan was not used to being submissive; after a few attempts, she became furious and divorced in anger.

Wu Pingxuan decided to return to Jingbei.

Here, she had nothing—no job, no home, and now no husband.

She thought only by returning to the Wu family, showing her parents her misery, would they truly forgive her and help find a solution.

It would still be easy to find a job in Jingbei since her parents were there.

Her brothers were all still in influential positions; they wouldn’t be so heartless as to ignore her entirely.

Wu Pingxuan also planned well, thinking that by leaving Hai City, no one would know her past, and she could start anew.
