Military husband hasn't returned home for two years? He reads his daughter's heartfelt wor

Chapter 167 Useless things

"Meng Wan! She's your cousin!" Meng Renjie frowned, his voice carrying an undeniable authority, but even more so, disappointment and self-reproach.

"When did you become so unreasonable!" He stared at his daughter, whose once innocent face was now filled with stubbornness and grievance, filling him with mixed feelings.

He used to only focus on work and neglected the growth of his two children, especially Meng Wan, a girl who was sensitive and stubborn from a young age.

"I'm unreasonable?" Meng Wan was so angry that she trembled all over and didn't know what to say. She just looked at Meng Renjie with a wronged yet stubborn expression.

Her eyes quickly reddened, and tears welled up, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

From childhood to adulthood, she was well aware that she was not outstanding in appearance; she knew this better than anyone else.

Her father was handsome and refined, but she inherited her mother's mediocrity.

Because of this, her romantic relationships have repeatedly failed, and every sincere effort she has made has been met with ruthless rejection and ridicule.

Her father not only failed to comfort her, but also sided with outsiders to criticize her. How could she not feel heartbroken?

Meng Renjie sighed, trying to ease the tension: "Meng Wan, Dad knows how hard you've worked, but you really did something wrong today."

"No? Should I just let her laugh at me?" Meng Wan's voice trembled, and tears finally streamed down her cheeks.

She couldn't understand why the person in front of her, who was her father, would help an outsider.

Zhao Qiu'e watched this scene from the side, her face full of disdain and disgust.

She yanked Meng Wan away and said viciously, "Useless thing, all you do is cry."

Then he looked at Meng Renjie and said, "I don't care what your relationship is with this little vixen. If you don't help Meng Wan, that's fine, but Meng Zhou must go to the provincial hospital."

"Mom!" Meng Wan looked at her mother with dissatisfaction, her voice filled with despair and anger, "Why can't you just ignore me?"

"Your brother is your son, but am I not your daughter?"

Why is there such favoritism?

She's been biased since we were little, and she's still biased now that we're grown up.

Zhao Qiu'e waved her hand impatiently: "Can they be the same? Your brother is a man; a good career leads to a good family."

"You're a young lady, it was already a blessing that you were allowed to study medicine. Anyway, you're going to get married eventually, so you can just go to any clinic."

Meng Wan clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, the pain keeping her awake.

Her voice carried a hint of helplessness and bitterness: "But Zhou Chuan said that his parents would only agree to the marriage if he got into the provincial hospital."

She longed for love and a warm home, but all of this seemed unattainable because of her appearance.

Zhao Qiu'e waved her hand dismissively, "If you don't agree, you don't agree. I don't even like it!"

"The meat processing plant manager's son is quite good, but you're not willing to accept him!"

Meng Wan lowered her head in disappointment, tears blurring her vision once again.

The image of the meatpacking plant manager's son flashed through her mind—a fat, greasy man—and she couldn't imagine spending her life with him.

She's already not pretty anymore, so she absolutely has to find someone good-looking.

She didn't want her future children to suffer the same ridicule from those around them as she did.

Meng Renjie watched this scene with a heart full of anger and helplessness.

He glared at Zhao Qiu'e: "Zhao Qiu'e, don't even dream about it, I won't help anyone!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiu'e immediately sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum, yelling, "You old man, you've got a new vixen and you don't even care about the children anymore!"

"God, open your eyes and take a look! Quickly get rid of this kind of heartless man!"

Her voice was sharp and shrill, attracting onlookers and gossip.

The people around had heard enough, and seeing Zhao Qiu'e crying and making a scene, they all pointed and whispered about Li Wanqing and the others.

Looking at the chaotic situation before her, Li Wanqing couldn't help but frown, feeling annoyed!

She pushed Nuonuo toward Meng Renjie, "Uncle, you take Nuonuo inside first."

There were too many people around, and she didn't want Nuonuo to stay there.

"You should take Nuonuo in!" Meng Renjie looked exhausted; he didn't want Li Wanqing to clean up his mess.

Li Wanqing gently touched Nuonuo, and Nuonuo grabbed Meng Renjie's hand, pitifully calling out "Uncle".

Meng Renjie couldn't resist the little girl's coquettishness, and fearing he might hurt her, he had no choice but to follow her lead into the guesthouse.

"Meng Renjie, don't go!" When Zhao Qiu'e saw Meng Renjie was about to leave, she jumped up, her face full of anger and resentment.

She couldn't let Meng Renjie just leave like that; she had to make him take responsibility for what happened in Mengzhou.

Li Wanqing stepped in front of her to block her, saying, "If you don't leave, I'll call the police."

Her voice was calm and firm, and her eyes revealed an undeniable authority.

Zhao Qiu'e glared at her angrily, staring fiercely, "Go ahead and report it! Let's see which police officer handles family disputes!"

She was convinced that Li Wanqing was just bluffing, so she wasn't scared at all.

Zhao Qiu'e's fearless attitude made Li Wanqing feel a little strange.

In this day and age, everyone is afraid of the police. What does Zhao Qiu'e have to rely on?

If she had someone to rely on, why would she need to seek out an ex-husband with whom she had severed ties?

Seeing his mother being stopped, Meng Zhou's anger surged. He stepped forward and shoved Li Wanqing.

But before he could even touch her, Li Wanqing fell to the ground first.

"Ouch, my foot!" Li Wanqing cried out in pain.

Meng Zhou stared at his hand in disbelief. He hadn't used any force, so how could Li Wanqing have fallen?

He was furious, but had no outlet for his anger. "I didn't even touch you!"

Li Wanqing looked frightened, curled up her legs, and lowered her head, sobbing softly.

Those around him couldn't stand it and started lecturing Mengzhou, leaving him speechless with frustration.

Zhao Qiu'e shielded her son behind her, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? My son didn't touch her at all! She clearly fell on her own."

As he spoke, he forcefully tugged at Meng Wan, who was standing there in a daze, "You brat, why don't you help your older brother!"

Meng Wan just stared blankly, her eyes filled with a sorrowful desolation, but she remained silent.

Her mother was biased her whole life, so why should she stand up for her older brother?

Seeing that Meng Wan wasn't helping, Zhao Qiu'e angrily punched her a few more times: "Useless thing!"

Meng Wan remained indifferent, displaying extreme coldness.

The people at the guesthouse saw that there was a fight and trouble, and they had a good reason to step forward.

They looked at Zhao Qiu'e and Meng Zhou seriously: "Comrade, you've assaulted a military family member. Let's go to the police station."

They had disapproved of it before, and when someone tried to reason with them, they were scolded by the mother and her two children.

They even falsely accused their staff of interfering in someone else's family. When they couldn't argue back, Meng Renjie let them in.

Now that something has happened, and they are military family members, they certainly have the right to intervene.
