Sun Chan didn’t know about Han Dong leaving. He had always been running around, very busy. It wasn’t anything unusual.
Gu Junming somewhat understood, but he didn’t want to get involved. Being a soldier, he couldn’t do overly excessive things, especially since that woman was Sun Chan’s older sister. However, he wouldn’t interfere in others’ matters, so he pretended not to know.
At this moment, Yang Dongfeng appeared in front of Sun Chan. Sun Chan felt very calm, without any emotions.
Yang Dongfeng trembled as he spoke, "Daughter, you’ve suffered. Rest assured, that mother and daughter pair have received the heaviest punishment! They’ll definitely not fare well. Can you finally breathe a sigh of relief?"
Sun Chan glanced at Yang Dongfeng, "I can’t breathe a sigh of relief. I have nightmares every day. I dream of you turning away and leaving me behind."
Yang Dongfeng scratched his head, "I never thought it would be so serious. I just thought they’d beat you up and that would be it, but who would’ve thought they’d be so malicious, and that Yun’er would also be deceived..."
Even at this moment, he’s still trying to whitewash Yang Yun!
Sun Chan could no longer contain her emotions, "What do you mean by saying it would be okay if they just hit me once? I only stopped Mom from arranging a job for Sun Lijuan. Was that wrong? How on earth did I offend Yang Yun to make you think it was normal for me to be tied up and beaten by her?"
"I was just..."
"Back then, Yang Yun wouldn’t let you recognize me, didn’t want me to come home and be with you, and I couldn’t even have a family dinner. Did I ever say anything? She ruined all the clothes Mom gave to me, did I blame her? I kept enduring, kept avoiding, but she kept provoking me! In order to stop me from taking exams, she tried all means to sabotage, even slashing the car tires, and got caught in the act. Did you ever hit her? Your favoritism is what makes Yang Yun worse than a beast!"
Yang Dongfeng’s eyes reddened with urgency, "I told you, Yang Yun wasn’t a participant, she was just deceived..."
"I’m not deaf. Are my ears not reliable enough? Yan Kai never had any dealings with Yang Yun, why would he frame her? Where did the huge sums of money on Sun Lijuan and her mother come from? Who paid for the train and cab fares? These two aren’t outing Yang Yun because they want her to continue bullying and torturing me, and you just choose to turn a blind eye, letting her perpetuate!"
Yang Dongfeng couldn’t have imagined that Sun Chan had already figured everything out, the fact he always refused to admit was laid bare before him.
"She’s your sister, only in her twenties. Her life is just starting. You... just give her a chance. I promise to cherish you from now on..." He approached his younger daughter, earnestly pleading, trying to hold her hand.
Sun Chan avoided him, not wanting to accept such a superficial gift of familial affection!
"Don’t worry. These two aren’t acknowledging Yang Yun’s involvement in the kidnapping, what means do I have to apprehend her? People just say I’m oppressing my sister. From here on, you and your daughter have nothing to do with me."
"Sun Chan!"
"I’m very busy; please leave." With that, Sun Chan lowered her head and continued working on her clothing designs.
Yang Dongfeng gritted his teeth, "I want to bring Yang Yun back to discipline her properly, okay?"
"That’s none of my business."
"I don’t care for it! If I go back, I fear Yang Yun will poison me. And you’d only help cover it up, I don’t dare to take that risk."
He had still hoped to rely on his father to advance, now he’s being told to retire?
Yang Xiong sneered, "You think too beautifully! You stood by and did nothing to save Sun Chan, shielded criminals, and shamelessly asked Sun Chan to persuade her mother to return home? Listen here, if I don’t see your retirement application within three days, I’ll report what I’ve heard to the higher-ups, and you can wait to face the court! Thank goodness you’re not my only son, or you’d have driven me to my grave!"
Having said that, Yang Xiong turned and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Yang Dongfeng staggered, his father took such ruthless action! If he retires now, what does he have left!
Nothing left, utterly penniless!
Zhao Jieyun walked over, first examining Sun Chan from top to bottom to ensure she was alright, then spoke to Yang Dongfeng, "I’ve already filed the divorce papers, you should hurry with it too. If you don’t want the military leaders to know the real reason I’m divorcing you, then sign quickly. Otherwise, it won’t just be a matter of divorce. You’ll face a military court for what you’ve done. I don’t mind sending you there."
Zhao Jieyun’s tone was icy, like the freezing cold of winter. Yang Dongfeng shivered all over; in one day, he lost his wife, daughter, father, and his job, everything was gone!
"Zhao Jieyun, how did we end up here? I haven’t done anything to betray you; I’ve always been good to you. Why won’t you give me a chance to change?"
"I’ve given you too many chances, Yang Dongfeng." Zhao Jieyun wiped her tears, "How could you treat Sun Chan like this, worse than an animal! I won’t forgive you; your intentions are too cruel. Even a tiger won’t eat its cubs, yet you stood by and watched as Sun Chan was taken by them. If Yan Kai hadn’t received the news in advance, Sun Chan’s life would’ve been ruined forever! Don’t you feel ashamed?"
Yang Dongfeng glanced at Sun Chan; she looked out the window indifferently, not sparing him a single glance.
