I married my best friend's dad in a whirlwind romance, only to find out he'd secretly love

"An'an! Wait!" Jiang Chen wanted to get out of bed, but his whole body ached whenever he moved.

"An'an, I know I was wrong," Jiang Chen said, his voice trembling with tears. "Please give me another chance, I beg you!"

But Qiao An'an resolutely left with her parents.

Wen Nan held her daughter's hand and said with heartache, "Don't be afraid, Mom and Dad are here."

Qiao Zhihua stopped and turned to look at Jiang Chen and his mother. He said in a calm voice, "Jiang Chen, Zhu Yanhui, from now on, our two families have nothing to do with each other. Do not entangle yourselves with each other anymore."

Zhu Yanhui wanted to say something, but she was so intimidated by Qiao Zhihua's aura that she couldn't speak.

The family of three walked out of the hospital, and Qiao An'an felt completely relieved; the problem was finally solved.

Wen Tian noticed his daughter's mood and said gently, "An'an, let's find a place to have a good meal."

Qiao An'an smiled at her parents, "Dad, Mom, thank you."

Thank you for your support.

Wen Tian hugged her tenderly, "Don't be so polite with your parents."

"You did the right thing. If feelings can't be pure and genuine, then it's better to let go. Our An'an will meet someone better."

In the ward, Zhu Yanhui looked at Yang Xue, who remained silent, with a sharp gaze.

Yang Xue felt uneasy under their gaze.

"Ah..."

"Get out of here!"

Before Yang Xue could even finish speaking, she was told to leave.

Yang Xue looked aggrieved. "Auntie, Brother Chen is injured, and I came because there was no one to take care of me."

"Auntie, Chen and I have been together for a long time. We are truly in love." Yang Xue looked aggrieved and thought to herself that she might as well tell him the truth.

Maybe my opportunity will come.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes widened as he looked at Yang Xue.

"Yang Xue, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Brother Chen, I've been with you since my freshman year of college, and it's still going strong. You promised you'd give me a proper status, have you forgotten?"

As she spoke, Yang Xue began to cry.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Zhu Yanhui realized she was clearly a manipulative woman and angrily pointed at her, "Shut up and get out of here."

Yang Xue refused to leave.

Zhu Yanhui grew angrier the more she looked at her, and pushed her away.

"Who do you think you are, daring to ruin my son's good marriage? Get out!"

Seeing that she was about to be wheeled out of the ward, Yang Xue quickly took out her phone and started recording.

"Okay, Xiaoxue, just give it to me. Don't worry, Qiao An'an and I are just putting on an act to appease our elders. Giving you a proper status is only a matter of time."

Jiang Chen's promise echoed in the ward.

Jiang Chen's expression changed drastically upon hearing the recording.

"Xiaoxue, wait a little longer. I'll break up with Qiao An'an when I find the right opportunity. I love you, and I will definitely marry you..."

Zhu Yanhui was so angry while listening to the recording that she almost fainted.

She clutched her chest, her face extremely pale.

She never expected that her son's playful antics would be recorded.

She pointed at her son, "How could you be so stupid? You even let someone scheme against you! What do you take this engagement for?!"

"I was originally planning to hold the engagement party next month and finalize the wedding arrangements, but look at the mess you've made!"

Jiang Chen's expression was also bad; the resentment in his eyes was gone, replaced only by regret.

His voice was hoarse, "Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will beg An'an for forgiveness..."

"Forgive her? Will she forgive you?"

Zhu Yanhui sneered.

"You've been caught red-handed. Don't let Qiao An'an's easygoing nature fool you; she's very intolerant of any nonsense."

Didn't you see the attitude of the Qiao family of three just now? They want to sever all ties with us.

"It's not that Qiao An'an isn't good enough for you, it's that you're not good enough for her. As for this bitch, deal with her yourself, don't come here and dirty my eyes."

After Zhu Yanhui finished speaking, she didn't even glance at Yang Xue.

When Yang Xue took out the recording, she had already decided that at worst, they would fight to the death.

"Auntie, my feelings for Brother Chen are genuine. I know you're feeling this way now..."

Before Yang Xue could finish speaking, Jiang Chen roared, "Yang Xue, get out of here! From now on, we're even!"

Yang Xue was shocked by the outcome. She looked at Jiang Chen with a hurt expression, tears streaming down her face.

But Jiang Chen showed no mercy. "Get out!"

Seeing Jiang Chen's heartless attitude, Yang Xue ran out of the ward crying.

As soon as she left the ward, she ran towards the corridor. As soon as the corridor door closed, she immediately put away her aggrieved and sad appearance.

His hands were clenched into fists, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Hmph, Jiang Chen, you'll never get rid of me in this lifetime!"

In the ward, Zhu Yanhui sighed.

"I thought you were just being silly and playing around, and I thought you could explain it to An'an. But now that things have come to this, you can only find an opportunity to apologize to the Qiao family."

See if there's any chance to salvage the situation. After all, the friendship between the two families can't be broken because of you, you brat. Don't even think about the engagement anymore, and don't get involved.

"I'll have someone take care of you tomorrow. As for that woman, you'd better cut ties with me completely."

Jiang Chen listened to his mother's words, closed his eyes, and felt only regret in his heart.

He recalled the sweet moments he shared with Qiao An'an.

At this moment, Qiao An'an brought her parents to a restaurant.

At the dinner table, Qiao An'an showed no sadness or distress; instead, she appeared relaxed and smiled brightly.

But seeing their daughter like this, Qiao Zhihua and Wen Tian became even more worried, fearing that she would suffocate herself.

Wen Tian said worriedly, "An'an, if you're sad, just cry."

Qiao An'an, who was ordering food, was both amused and exasperated. "Dad, Mom, I'm really okay."

"I was a little sad when I first found out, but I quickly realized that it wasn't worth being sad over a jerk, and now I'm very happy."

"I'm glad I saw through Jiang Chen before we got married, otherwise it would have been terrible after we got married."

Qiao An'an had a smile on her face.

Wen Tian looked at his daughter for a while, and only after confirming that she was not faking a smile did he finally feel relieved.

"It's good that you understand. Our An'an deserves better. Mom and Dad just want you to be happy."

Qiao Zhihua chimed in, "That's right, even if you don't get married, Dad can still support you, as long as you're happy."

Hearing her parents' words, Qiao An'an's nose suddenly felt a little sore.

Her parents are loving her in their own way.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I won't let myself feel wronged or get hurt," Qiao An'an said, deeply moved.

She wants a pure relationship, and she's not the type to swallow her pride.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have broken up with Jiang Chen so decisively after discovering his infidelity.

Just then.

Qiao An'an's phone rang.
