Si Fan raised her eyes and saw Si Mingyuan and Jiang Qin walking in through the main door.
The slightly weary Jiang Qin saw a group of servants surrounding Si Fan and her expression changed, she shouted out involuntarily.
When Si Ya saw Jiang Qin, she couldn't hide her disgust and quickly ran to Si Mingyuan, pushing Jiang Qin aside, and clung to his arm, crying and complaining, "Dad, you came back just in time. She, Si Fan, just hit me and made my nose bleed. You need to stand up for me!"
Si Mingyuan's gaze landed on Si Ya's bleeding nose, his face darkened, and he looked at Si Fan with dissatisfaction, "Si Fan, did you hit Xiao Ya?!"
Si Fan cast a dismissive glance over and sneered, speaking arrogantly with a tone that was off the charts, "She's not worthy of me dirtying my hands, too filthy!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces changed, especially Si Ya's which was nearly contorted with rage.
Si Ya was furious and panicked, "Dad, look at Si Fan's attitude?! She hit me and doesn't admit it, and even calls me filthy?! I haven't even said she's an unwanted bastard without a father!"
Jiang Qin, standing beside her, couldn't help but have tears well up in her eyes.
Because Si Ya hit her painful spot right in the heart.
Si Mingyuan didn't deny Si Ya's words because Si Fan was indeed born without a father to raise her. If Jiang Qin hadn't insisted on bringing this burden into the house, he wouldn't have spared her another glance.
Initially seeing her behaving quite submissively in the Si Family, he could turn a blind eye to her existence, but never expected she dared to lay hands on Si Ya and speak so insolently, it's simply audacious.
"Jiang Qin, your daughter hitting Si Ya today is outrageous. I'm leaving you with a choice, either you send her away, or you both leave!"
After all, Si Fan is already an adult, she can leave the Si Family and earn a living for herself. His tolerance for her presence in the Si Family for all these years was at its limit.
As soon as Si Mingyuan finished his words, Jiang Qin's face turned as pale as a sheet, her body couldn't stop trembling.
She didn't expect that a ten-year marriage with Si Mingyuan could be so fragile.
Just a child's quarrel, and she is forced to make such a tough choice. Is he still the Si Mingyuan she originally knew?
Si Mingyuan observed Jiang Qin's reaction, knowing that she could not possibly leave the Si Family for Si Fan.
Because she still had a sick son, Si Yi, who needed hefty medical expenses, and only the Si Family could cover those costs.
For the sake of her son, she could only stay in the Si Family!
His eyes turned cold as he delivered another heavy blow, "Jiang Qin, make your decision quickly for a better future. You must make a choice; after all, you can't have it both ways. There's always a gain and a loss. Let go of that useless Si Fan, and you still have Si Ya and Si Xue, two daughters who are thousands of times better than Si Fan!"
Jiang Qin furrowed her brows tightly, feeling both angry and conflicted inside.
The anger stemmed from the fact that her daughter Si Fan was considered just a useless person in Si Mingyuan's eyes, not worthy of his notice.
The conflict arose because the choice Si Mingyuan forced on her was so difficult it felt like her head was about to explode.
One was her bedridden son who needed money for treatment, and the other was her daughter, abandoning either felt like having her flesh and blood painfully torn apart.
Moreover, she knew that Si Ya never liked her at home and always bullied Si Fan behind her back.
For the sake of Si Yi, she persuaded Si Fan to endure it and also told herself to endure.
But she never expected that enduring again and again would still not allow her to escape this day.
Constantly enduring and compromising only emboldened Si Ya to become more and more unchecked.
This time it was Si Fan, next time, it could be her or her son...
After plenty of thought for a few minutes.
Jiang Qin made a decision, "I'm sorry, Mingyuan, I won't abandon Fanfan. No matter which one, I won't abandon either. Since you're determined to force us out, then I'll do as you wish. Fanfan, let's pack our things and leave immediately!"
Jiang Qin moved forward and took Si Fan's hand, storming upstairs.
Si Fan raised her eyebrows, not expecting the always timid Jiang Qin to suddenly become firm.
She initially thought that if the Si Family actually drove her out, she could just leave as expected, anyway, she would be carefree on her own.
After all, she had the skills to not let herself go hungry.
But she didn't expect Jiang Qin to suddenly rise up and decide to leave the Si Family with her.
However, evidently, Jiang Qin's sudden boldness was probably fueled by accumulated grievances over the years and her resentment towards Si Mingyuan's heartlessness clouding her judgment.
If she sobered up and thought about Si Yi who still needed treatment in the hospital, she wouldn't be able to be so determined.
Soon, Jiang Qin brought down the packed luggage, with Si Fan following behind.
Si Ya saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh, never able to close her mouth, finally driving away these two despicable mother and daughter!
Si Mingyuan looked up and his eyebrows instantly knitted.
He thought Jiang Qin was just speaking nonsense in anger, never expected that she would actually pack up the luggage and bring it down.
He walked over furiously, "Jiang Qin, are you really going to leave the Si Family?! Leaving the Si Family, do you know what that means?"
It means Jiang Qin would have to return to her previous life of hardship, not having enough to eat or wear, and also bear a huge medical cost!
And at over forty years old, what ability does Jiang Qin have to struggle?!
Especially since she is a woman!
Women are naturally meant to rely on men to live, without a man, she couldn't accomplish anything!
Not to mention, earning to support two useless beings!
"Mingyuan, before I married you, though life was tough, constantly fearing what disasters tomorrow might bring, having no money for food, and not being able to afford my children's medical bills, but at that time, working for my two children, I felt fulfilled and free. It was hard but happy, not like now where I tiptoe around serving your entire family without recognition, constantly tired and unable to find relief. Sometimes I even feel like I can't breathe. I am just too exhausted. Let's separate for a while."
Jiang Qin said hoarsely, holding back the tears that were about to flow, she took Si Fan's hand and was about to leave.
Si Mingyuan's face turned ashen, "Jiang Qin, you will regret this, I can guarantee. It won't be long before you come back begging for my forgiveness, and by then, don't expect me to easily forgive you!"
Jiang Qin didn't speak, only her eyes grew redder, choking back words unable to speak, clearly heartbroken by Si Mingyuan's words.
Si Fan suddenly spoke up in an extremely indifferent tone, "Rest assured, there will never be such a day!"
Si Mingyuan sneered, "Ha, how ridiculous, besides the Si Family taking her in, where else could she go, onto the street to beg, living in dirty, disgusting beggar's nests?!"
