Chapter 207: Father and Son Argument

The black crystal ball turned transparent again. Xiao Jing asked, “Why can’t I see the Shadow Ghost sealed inside?”
Gu Teng explained, “This is a witch’s magic crystal ball. It is a pure crystal of nature. The Shadow Ghost was born from evil thoughts. The crystal ball isolates the evil thoughts of the outside world, making it impossible for him to absorb them. Coupled with the purification function of the ball, the Shadow Ghost naturally disappeared.”
At this moment, Xiao Shan and second uncle finally woke up. Perhaps because he had been possessed for a long time, Xiao Shan was even weaker than second uncle. He could only sit on the ground and not stand up.
As for second uncle, who was much better than him, at least he could still stand up. The two of them asked the same question. “What happened?”
Because the people from the second branch were watching from the house, the explanation was left to them. Xiao Jing and Gu Teng did not think that this was a big deal.
However, Xiao Shan slammed the table and said, “My granddaughter can’t be a witch. Hurry up and get her to throw these things away. She’s not allowed to learn them in the future.”
Yunbao hugged her crystal ball tightly and said, “I want to learn.”
Gu Teng was a witch himself, so of course she was on Yunbao’s side. Xiao Jing even said, ‘Yunbao saved you twice with her own ability. Don’t you feel ashamed saving this now?
Xiao Shan stubbornly said, “Then you can’t continue learning. With our Xiao family’s status, we can’t have a child who’s a witch. If you still want the mother and daughter to enter the Xiao family, you have to make your daughter give up these things!’
When Yunbao heard Xiao Shan’s words, her mood fell. She said to her father,
“Then Yunbao will go back to Grandpa and Grandma.”
She knew that it was not easy for her parents to be together, so she did not want her to affect them.
Yunbao’s words almost broke Gu Teng’s heart. She walked over and hugged her daughter. “Let’s go back together.”
Seeing his wife and daughter like this, Xiao Jing looked at Xiao Shan coldly. “We don’t care about the status of the Xiao family. Let’s go back to the capital now.”
The family of three did not pack any luggage and directly walked out of the Xiao family’s villa. Xiao Shan’s face was tense and he did not speak. The people from the second and third branches were frightened.
Second Uncle dragged his still weak body over and said, “Don’t hold it against your father. He’s such a stubborn person. Let’s just persuade him.”
Third Uncle also persuaded, “The child must be tired from saving people just now. Let’s rest at home first. Don’t be in a hurry to leave. Your father still has us.”
Second Uncle and Third Uncle hated Xiao Shan very much. Initially, they thought that it was not bad for him to be the head of the family. They did not have to worry and could only wait to spend money. They did not expect him to cause so much trouble now.
Gu Teng was not an ordinary daughter-in-law. If it were any other family, they would want to dote on her. However, Xiao Shan insisted on pushing her out. If they angered the Gu family, they would have to bear the consequences.
However, Xiao Shan was stubborn. He would never allow his authority to be challenged. If he really lowered his head to Gu Teng today, he would not be able to show off in the future.
Xiao Jing protected Gu Teng and Yunbao and said, “I don’t want to argue with him. He’s my father, so I’ve held it in for so many years. However, Gu Teng doesn’t owe him anything. He has no right to bully Gu Teng here.”
“You’re saying that I can’t say anything even if you’re married? As a daughter-in-law, you should be filial to your in-laws. If she treats your mother like this, won’t you care?” Xiao Shan slammed the table and said.
Xiao Jing was provoked by these words and roared, “My mother has already been killed by you. Gu Teng doesn’t have a mother-in-law anymore!”
For a long time, his mother had been a sore spot that Xiao Jing could not mention. However, Xiao Shan did not feel that it was his fault. Father and son would always quarrel because of this.
Xiao Shan had been the heir of the Xiao family since he was young. When he grew up, countless women wanted to be with him, causing him to not have much patience for women. In any case, without one, there were still countless women waiting for him.
Even though Xiao Jing’s mother was his official wife, he did not take her to heart. Moreover, he did not think that Xiao Jing’s mother’s death was his fault.
After Xiao Jing’s mother died, he tried to repair the father-son relationship, but every time, he was angered by Xiao Jing and the two of them parted on bad terms.
“Stop bringing up the past. Today, we’re talking about Yunbao learning magic!” Every time Xiao Shan heard Xiao Jing mention his mother, he would change the topic.
Xiao Jing knew that Xiao Shan would say this. He sneered and said, “You’ve always avoided problems and pushed the blame to others..”
