Ning Xueling stood up and went into the house to pack up her things, picked them up, and walked out of the yard. Wei Zixiong did not stop her but said, "If you walk out of this gate today, then never come back."
Wei Zixiong was certain that even if she left, she would come back. She wouldn't dare to divorce him, he knew. He was aware of the poor relationship between her and her biological children, and that she had grown distant from her two brothers at her maternal home. Having already been through one divorce, which became the laughing stock of her workplace, she definitely wouldn't dare to face another one.
After Ning Xueling left, Wei Hongbing, the eldest son of the Wei family, came out and said, "The New Year is almost here. Now that you've angered her away, who will cook the New Year's Eve dinner in a few days? Wei Hongyan, why did you have to say such unpleasant things, squeezing her out until you're satisfied?"
