When our daughter arrived at her grandparents' house, Li Hui enthusiastically grabbed Mengmeng's hand, repeatedly expressing how much she missed her daughter.

Both Mengmeng and her mother were smiling happily.

I scanned the room, noticing that despite their words of affection, there was nothing prepared for Mengmeng.

For adults, spending money is a direct expression of love.

Children might not understand this, but shouldn’t adults?

My mother-in-law stayed in her room, unwilling to come out, while my father-in-law rubbed his hands together, apologizing for the lack of preparation due to the sudden visit.

I didn't want to argue in front of my daughter; I had informed them in advance she was coming, so this excuse of suddenness was baffling.

Suddenly, loud barking erupted from the balcony.

My daughter was startled.

Ignoring our daughter, Li Hui hurried to the balcony with a piece of beef to feed the dog.

My father-in-law's face turned sour, and he gave me an awkward smile.

After so many years, Li Hui still hadn't changed.

My daughter, curious, started walking towards the balcony.

I quickly pulled her back to avoid any accidents.

While I stopped my daughter from going to the balcony, Li Hui actually let the dog out.

“Look how excited Qiqi is, Qiqi knows her little sister is home.”

What the hell is she talking about, who’s the dog's little sister?

Li Hui has been out of her mind since our daughter was born, insisting she and the dog should refer to each other as siblings.

That beast pounced at Mengmeng the moment it saw her.

I quickly pulled my daughter behind me, ready to kick the beast to death.

The dog recognized my scent and immediately stopped, staying two meters away, growling with bared teeth.

“Li Hui, you and the dog are just the same as always.”

Forcing a smile, Li Hui said, "Oh, Qiqi is just playing with you. Mengmeng, don't be afraid; come to mommy."

She reached out to grab my daughter.

Already scared, my daughter hid behind me, timidly saying, "Dad, let's go home."

I protected my daughter behind me, tossed Li Hui a divorce agreement, and left her parents' house without looking back.

As I closed the door, the dog continued barking fiercely.

Just then, a neighbor walked out, rolling their eyes and complaining with a face full of disgust, "This is so annoying, the barking never stops!"
