Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"So what if Zhai Hua beat Wei De up? Wei De slept with another woman behind her back. If you were in her place, I guess you would have ripped the other party's skin out. Think about this from another perspective. If Zhai Hua had found another man behind our son's back and we found out about it, would you think that our son would be in the wrong for beating Zhai Hua up? Would we have to bow our heads to the Zhai family just because Ah De hit their daughter?"

"…" Mother Wei was at a loss for words.

Just like what Father Wei said, if Father Wei had gotten into a relationship with another woman, she would definitely deal with both that vixen and Father Wei. In fact, if Zhai Hua were to start an affair, her son would not even have to do anything. She would volunteer to go to jail after killing Zhai Hua herself.

"Dad, you have to help me convince Zhai Hua." Wei De rubbed his face, feeling that he was in the worst possible situation. If he had known that so many things would happen because of a new year's visit, he would have just chosen to stay at home. At the very least, he would still have left a good impression on them.

What could Father Wei say apart from agreeing to his son's request? "I can't promise that I'll be able to do it, but you can rest assured that I'll try my best. I've never treated Zhai Hua as badly as your mom has. I think she'll give me some face at the very least."

Father Wei was thankful that he had never acted like his wife had and had never thrown his weight around as Zhai Hua's father-in-law, even when his wife had acted spitefully toward Zhai Hua.

Compared to how spiteful his wife was, he believed that his image as a father-in-law was still rather good in Zhai Hua's mind. Since that was so, Zhai Hua would probably agree if he were to beg Zhai Hua.

But Father Wei had been too idealistic. Mother Wei's words were indeed nasty, and Father Wei had indeed never once acted like Mother Wei and had never bossed Zhai Hua around as a father-in-law.

However, even when Mother Wei had flared up and unreasonably scolded Zhai Hua, Father Wei had simply stood on by the sidelines. He had never once stepped in to interfere nor had he ever tried to keep Mother Wei in line.

Sometimes, Father Wei's attitude of staying silent inevitably gave off the feeling that he approved of Mother Wei's actions. Even though Father Wei did not utter a word, in Zhai Hua's heart, Father Wei was not much better than Mother Wei. In short, Father Wei was not a good father-in-law, and neither was Mother Wei a good mother-in-law.

Wei De had already made himself clear that if Mother Wei were to lose her temper and put all the blame on Zhai Hua, angering Zhai Hua, Mother Wei would lose Wei De as her son. No matter how reluctant Mother Wei was, she had no choice but to listen to her son and husband at this point in time.

It did not matter to her who her daughter-in-law was, but she only had one son.

Seeing both her husband and son anxious over this matter and feeling that they needed to give in to Zhai Hua and appease her, there was nothing Mother Wei could do. Of course, she had no choice but to obediently listen to the words of the two most important men in her life. As such, she retracted her claws and tried to tone down her anger. "All right, whatever you guys say. When we meet Zhai Hua later, I'll act pitiful and not utter a word. How's that?"

After calming down and thinking once again about what had happened today, Mother Wei finally felt a tinge of guilt. They had kept their son's relationship with Wei Xiaomei a secret from the Zhai family all these years.

If they really reached the stage of a divorce, Mother Wei knew that Zhai Hua would be more than willing to do so, but not the Wei family. Once Wei De got divorced from Zhai Hua, she would no longer have a chief as her in-law. Without a wife like Zhai Hua, there was no way her son was going to get promoted in the military.

Her son had expressed his wishes of becoming a regiment commander. They needed the Zhai family's help.

For her son's future, this divorce could never happen. "Ah De, don't worry. I know what to do when we meet Zhai Hua. If she dares to get angry at you and wants to get divorced, I'll convince her to change her mind even if that means I have to get on my knees to beg her."

Sigh. The Wei family had to keep such a terrible daughter-in-law. It was truly their family's bad luck.

Father Wei and Wei De breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and Wei De forced out a slight smile. "Mom, it seems like you're finally thinking a little rationally. Mom, I will never get divorced from Zhai Hua. My wife can only be Zhai Hua alone. If I get divorced from Zhai Hua, our family will have nothing. Dad, Mom, why don't you find Jiajia first? Zhai Hua cares a lot about Jiajia. As long as Jiajia still wants me as her dad, Zhai Hua won't destroy this family for Jiajia's sake. She might even help cover this matter up and not tell the Zhai family about it."

That was right. At this point in time, Jiajia would be his best bet. Jiajia was indeed his daughter. At such a critical moment, she could be such a great help to him!

"That's right. You and Zhai Hua still have Jiajia. As long as Jiajia is around, Zhai Hua will never get divorced." Father Wei's eyes twinkled, feeling that a guiding lamp had suddenly appeared to guide him through this bleak path. "Wait a minute. Where's Jiajia? Dear, have you seen Jiajia?"

Had he not said that Jiajia had been together with Zhai Hua and had 'witnessed' that scene? Zhai Hua had been taken in by the police, but where was Jiajia?

Half a day had gone by before Father and Mother Wei finally remembered that Jiajia had been present. But when they finally thought of Jiajia, they realized that not a single person had any idea about where Jiajia was. They could not even be certain about whether Jiajia had followed Zhai Hua to the police station, or whether she had followed them to the hospital out of concern for Wei De.

Wei De's expression darkened. "Dad, hurry and take a look to see if Jiajia is at home. Remember to bring Jiajia along when you beg for Zhai Hua's forgiveness. Before that, you have to make sure that Jiajia is on my side. After you find Jiajia, call me. I'll convince her. I believe that Jiajia will listen to her dad."

He had always known that Jiajia had always wanted him to care more about her and love her like he did Xiao Wei. As long as Jiajia stood on his side this once and helped him out, he promised that he would treat Jiajia as well as he treated Xiao Wei.

Indeed, during such a critical moment, only his own flesh and blood was the most reliable. Even though Jiajia was only a daughter, she played a critical role.
