Si Fan looked up and saw Si Mingyuan and Jiang Qin walking in.

Jiang Qin, who was a little tired, saw a group of servants surrounding Si Fan. Her expression changed and she shouted out.

Si Ya couldn’t hide the disgust in her eyes when she saw Jiang Qin. Then, she hurriedly ran to Si Mingyuan and pushed Jiang Qin away from him. She hugged his arm and cried as she complained, “Dad, you came back at the right time. Si Fan just hit my nose until it bled. Hurry up and help me!”

Si Mingyuan’s gaze landed on Si Ya’s nose, which was bleeding. His expression darkened and he looked at Si Fan with an unfriendly gaze. “Si Fan, you hit Little Ya?!”

Si Fan glanced at her indifferently and sneered. Her tone was extremely arrogant. “She’s not worthy for me to do it myself. She’s dirty!!!”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone’s expression changed, especially Si Ya’s. Si Ya’s expression was almost ferocious.

Si Ya was exasperated. “Dad, look at Si Fan’s attitude! Not only did she not admit to hitting me, but she also thinks that I’m dirty?! I didn’t even despise her for being a slut without a father!”

When Jiang Qin heard that, her eyes could not help but turn red.

Because, Si Ya had hit a sore spot in her heart.

Si Mingyuan didn’t deny Si Ya’s words because Si Fan had a mother but no father. If Jiang Qin hadn’t insisted on bringing this burden into the family, he wouldn’t have given her another look.

Initially, he could turn a blind eye and tolerate her existence when he saw that she was quite well-behaved in the Si Family. He did not expect her to actually dare to hit Si Ya and even speak rudely. She was simply audacious.

“Jiang Qin, your daughter has gone too far by hitting Si Ya today. I’ll say this today. Either you send her away, or both of you leave together!”

Anyway, Si Fan was already an adult and could leave the Si Family to earn money to support herself. It was already his limit to tolerate her staying in the Si Family for so many years.

After Si Mingyuan said that, Jiang Qin’s face turned extremely pale and her body trembled uncontrollably.

She didn’t expect her 10-year relationship with Si Mingyuan to be so fragile.

She was forced to make such a difficult choice just because the children were fooling around. Was he still the Si Mingyuan she had first met?

Si Mingyuan looked at Jiang Qin’s reaction and knew that she would never leave the Si Family for Si Fan.

This was because she had a sick son, Si Yi, who needed to pay a huge amount of medical fees. Only the Si Family could afford such a huge amount of medical fees.

For her son, she could only stay in the Si Family!

His eyes turned cold and he continued to impact her. “Jiang Qin, make a decision quickly. For the sake of our future, you have to make a choice. After all, you can’t have the best of both worlds. There are gains and losses. If you give up on Si Fan, you still have two daughters, Si Ya and Si Xue. They are much more outstanding than Si Fan!”

Jiang Qin frowned, feeling angry and conflicted.

She was angry because his daughter, Si Fan, was just a good-for-nothing in Si Mingyuan’s eyes.

She was conflicted because Si Mingyuan had asked her to make a choice. She was in a dilemma that made her head hurt.

One was her son who was lying on the bed and needed money to be treated. The other was her daughter. No matter who she abandoned, it was as if she had to dig out her own flesh and blood. It was so painful that she wanted to die.

Moreover, she knew that Si Ya had always disliked her and bullied Si Fan behind her back.

For Si Yi’s sake, she advised Si Fan and herself to bear with it.

However, she did not expect that no matter how much she endured, she would not be able to escape this day.

Enduring and compromising would only make Si Ya more unscrupulous.

It was Si Fan this time, but it would be her or her son next time…

She thought for a few minutes.

Jiang Qin made up her mind. “I’m sorry, Mingyuan. I won’t abandon Fanfan. I won’t abandon either of them. Since you insist on chasing us away, I’ll do as you wish. Fanfan, let’s pack up and leave immediately!”

Jiang Qin grabbed Si Fan’s hand and stormed upstairs.

Si Fan raised her eyebrows. She did not expect the usually weak Jiang Qin to suddenly become so stubborn.

Initially, she thought that if the Si Family really chased her away, she could just leave. After all, she was alone and would be at ease.

After all, she had the ability to support herself.

However, she did not expect Jiang Qin to suddenly rise up and decide to leave the Si Family with her.

However, it was obvious that Jiang Qin’s rising at this moment was probably because of the grievances she had accumulated over the years, as well as her resentment and anger towards Si Mingyuan’s heartlessness.

If she remembered that Si Yi still needed treatment in the hospital, she would not be so stubborn.

Soon, Jiang Qin came down with her packed luggage, followed by Si Fan.

Si Ya couldn’t stop smiling when she saw this scene. She had finally chased the mother and daughter away!

Si Mingyuan looked up and frowned.

He thought that Jiang Qin was just spouting nonsense out of anger. He did not expect her to really pack her luggage and bring it down.

He walked over angrily. “Jiang Qin, are you really leaving the Si Family?! You should know better than me what it means to leave the Si Family!”

It meant that Jiang Qin had to return to her former abyssal life. She would not be able to fill her stomach or wear warm clothes. She would also have to bear a huge sum of medical expenses!

As for Jiang Qin, who was already over forty years old, what ability did she have to survive?!

Not to mention that she was a woman!

Women were born to rely on men to live. Without a man, she could not do anything!

Not to mention earning money to support two useless people!

“Mingyuan, when I wasn’t married to you back then, I lived a bitter life and was constantly worried that something would happen tomorrow, that I wouldn’t have money to eat, that my children would be sick and I wouldn’t have money to treat them. At that time, I was working hard for my two children. I was full, free, bitter, but happy. I wasn’t like now, carefully serving your family without any recognition. I looked at your faces every day and my heart was filled with fatigue. Sometimes, I even felt that it was difficult to breathe. I’m really too tired. Let’s separate for a period of time.”

Jiang Qin held back her tears and held Si Fan’s hand, wanting to leave.

Si Mingyuan’s face was ashen. “Jiang Qin, you’ll regret it. I can guarantee that you’ll come back to beg for my forgiveness soon. By then, it’ll be impossible for me to forgive you so easily!”

Jiang Qin didn’t say anything, but her eyes turned red. She choked and couldn’t speak. It was obvious that she was heartbroken by Si Mingyuan’s words.

Si Fan suddenly spoke, her tone extremely calm. “Don’t worry, that day won’t come!”

Si Mingyuan sneered. “Ha, what a joke. Other than the Si Family taking her in, where else can she go? Beg on the streets and live in a filthy and disgusting beggar’s nest?”
