Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!

Chapter 1144 - 1146: Unable to Stand Up

"If I didn’t agree with you being together, I would have told your dad the day I found out.""Mom, I’m sorry..." Tianxin cried as she threw herself into her mother’s arms and apologized. She couldn’t help but resent her mother these past few days.

She really was so ungrateful...

"Tianxin, you must be strong, okay? No matter what happens, you can’t back down." Tian Xingyun held her daughter, raising a hand to stroke her hair.

"Mm, Mom, I will be strong!" Tianxin nodded earnestly.

"Get up quickly and drink some water."

"Mom, I can’t get up!" Tianxin left her mother’s embrace and stubbornly shook her head.

She loved Brother Ziyang, and since she broke the family rules, she had to accept this punishment.

Without her father’s order, she absolutely wouldn’t get up!

Even if her knees were to get scraped raw, she wouldn’t get up!

"Drink some water."

"Okay." Tianxin nodded. She only dared to drink water and didn’t dare to stand up.

Tian Xingyun picked up the cup and fed Tianxin water. Just then, a shadow in their line of sight elongated and got closer.

The sound of footsteps reached their ears. Tian Xingyun hurriedly brought the cup to Tianxin’s mouth to feed her water.

Tianxin opened her mouth and swallowed two big gulps, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at the approaching Huo Shaohua.

"Bang~" The cup in Tian Xingyun’s hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

"What are you doing?! Tianxin hasn’t drunk or eaten anything all day!" Tian Xingyun stood up angrily and said to Huo Shaohua.

"I said she’s not allowed to eat or drink! She can eat and drink when she admits her mistake!" Huo Shaohua bent down to pick up what Tian Xingyun had brought and, with his other hand, grabbed her and began to leave.

Tianxin knelt silently, not daring to move. Her legs were numb and couldn’t budge.

Even a slight movement resulted in excruciating pain...

She could only stand by and watch as her father dragged her mother out of the ancestral hall.

Huo Shaohua dragged Tian Xingyun out of the ancestral hall, tossing the food onto the ground.

He released Tian Xingyun with a cold warning, "Don’t bring food for Tianxin again, or else you’ll be locked in the ancestral hall too!"

"Go ahead and do it! Just starve your wife and daughter, and you’ll be free to find a new one!" Tian Xingyun retaliated angrily, this person was too much!

Even giving Tianxin a sip of water he broke the cup; was it necessary to be so heartless?!

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Huo Shaohua’s face turned an angry shade, as he found this woman could really talk nonsense.

Bringing up the child’s issue, and now dragging him into it...

"It is a fact! You can’t wait to change wives, and with Tianxin in trouble now, you can take this opportunity to find a reason to separate from me. Don’t think I don’t know you met with Song Yi a few days ago!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Go back to your room and stay put, or else come see what I do to you if you dare look after Tianxin again!" Huo Shaohua didn’t want to argue anymore and grabbed her hand, pulling her away.

Huo Shaohua brought Tian Xingyun back to the room, not allowing her to step out of it!

Early the next morning.

Huo Shaohua came to the ancestral hall, Tianxin was asleep on the ground.

Seeing his daughter curled up on the floor, he felt a deep ache in his heart.

But he didn’t do what he used to do, which was to help her up, instead he picked up the family rod and stood beside her.

He shouted, "Huo Tianxin, who gave you permission to sleep! Get up and kneel properly!"

The voice echoed in the ancestral hall as Tianxin on the ground shivered and opened her eyes sharply.

Her eyes flashed with panic for a few seconds, then seeing her father, she hurriedly kneeled up in fear.

Her swollen knees hit the floor again, causing her to grit her teeth in pain.

Her dry lips parted, and with a weak, feeble voice, she spoke, "Dad..."

"I told you to kneel, how dare you sleep secretly!" Huo Shaohua raised the wooden stick and hit Tianxin heavily on the back.

This isn’t considered abuse, right? Xiao Ning can’t write abuse... Brother Yang will be back tomorrow~
