Chapter 39

Huo Zhengye turned his head and looked away in panic, and the wheat-colored panel was stained with a light red.

After Shu Wan put on her shoes, she thought Huo Zhengye was getting impatient, so she quickly said, “Okay, let’s go.”

Huo Zhengye nodded, walked out first, and Shu Wan followed behind.

Someone at home was inconvenienced, so the two of them arrived at the door.

The night was dark and quiet. People of this generation rarely go out after get off work, so Shu Wan and the other person were not afraid of attracting attention when they talked at the door.

“What do you want from me?” Shu Wan spoke first.

Huo Zhengye met Shu Wan’s calm gaze, and suddenly he didn’t know how to start. After a long while, he managed to say, “How was your day?”

Shu Wan’s face was full of joy. “It went smoothly. I just wanted to tell you that I have found a house and will move out tomorrow.”

Huo Zhengye wanted to ask about the human traffickers, but he didn’t expect Shu Wan to mention moving, and he was a little unresponsive for a moment.

He frowned, “Tomorrow?”

Shu Wan smiled and said, “I’m sorry to bother you during this period. I’ll move out tomorrow and you can go home to take care of grandma.”

“The divorce hasn’t been finalized yet, so you can just stay here and don’t rush to leave.”

Shu Wan waved her hands. They were about to get divorced anyway, and if she stayed here it would only make people dislike her. It would be better for her to move to the city early so that it would be more convenient to do business.

Shu Wan thought Huo Zhengye was worried that she would run away and was deliberately delaying the divorce, so she immediately explained: “It is more convenient for me to do business if I live in the city. Don’t worry, I won’t run away. When the time comes, I will go with you to get a divorce.”

Huo Zhengye: “…”

He obviously didn’t mean that, so why was Shu Wan’s mind full of divorce?

Is she so eager to divorce him?

“What I mean is that you caught a human trafficker today, and I’m afraid her accomplices will cause trouble for you and take revenge on you. It’s better to leave after a while.” Huo Zhengye said.

Shu Wan had considered this issue, but she couldn’t give up her business because of unknown dangers. If she had such a timid and cowardly personality, she would not have made it onto the Forbes list in modern times.

“If the traffickers really want to retaliate against me, I won’t be able to hide, but thank you for your reminder. I will be more careful.”

Seeing that Shu Wan had made up her mind, Huo Zhengye said no more.

“I’ll take you there sometime tomorrow.”

Shu Wan was really troubled by moving the luggage, but when she heard Huo Zhengye offered to take her there, she immediately agreed and said gratefully, “Thank you for your help.”

Huo Zhengye is a very nice person.

Huo Zhengye looked at Shu Wan’s face and saw that there was no trace of reluctance. Instead, her expression was calm, and there was even a hint of relief. Huo Zhengye felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Shu Wan is leaving tomorrow. She feels reluctant, but she is more looking forward to the future and feeling a little relieved.

She took the initiative to divorce Huo Zhengye, so she should be able to avoid the ending in the book. Shu Wan glanced at Huo Zhengye. Although his face was not very clear in the moonlight, he was probably as relaxed and happy as she was.

Thinking of this, Shu Wan said, “Should we tell grandma about our divorce?”

Huo Zhengye hesitated for a while, “Grandma is not in good health, let’s not talk about it for now.”

Shu Wan nodded.

However, the next second, a shocked voice came from behind:

“You want a divorce?”

Shu Wan and Huo Zhengye both turned around, with a hint of panic in their eyes.

Grandma Huo came out to close the gate, but she was shocked when she heard the news.

After spending the past few days together, she had already regarded Shu Wan as her own daughter-in-law, and immediately hit Huo Zhengye, “Okay, you have made it, kid. You still want to hide such a big thing from me. Are you going to wait until I’m buried before telling me?”

After that, he said to Shu Wan, “Is it this guy who forced you to divorce? As long as I am here, this marriage cannot be divorced.”

Grandma Huo’s words made her attitude clear, and she was willing to support Shu Wan.

Shu Wan felt warm in her heart after hearing this, and quickly explained: “Grandma, you misunderstood. He didn’t force me to do it. We have no feelings for each other and we divorced voluntarily.”

Grandma Huo shook her head in disapproval, “Silly child, feelings are developed through interaction. How can you know if you don’t try?”

“Grandma, I’ve been married for more than a year, why haven’t I tried it? He and I are really not suitable.” Shu Wan said.

Huo Zhengye also nodded, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, “Grandma, I won’t change my mind.”

“Is it really because of this? You didn’t lie to me? It’s not because of some other reason?”

Grandma Huo looked back and forth between Huo Zhengye and Shu Wan with doubt. Huo Zhengye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Grandma, what do you want to say?”

Grandma Huo gritted her teeth and couldn’t help asking, “Didn’t you divorce because of Shu Wan’s health?”

“Grandma, how did you know?” Huo Zhengye looked at her in surprise.

Shu Wan also looked at him in surprise, and a person appeared in her mind.

“The nurse who examined me last time told me that she lives next door. Shu Wan, stay away from her. This girl has a lot of little ideas.”

“If this guy divorces you because of this, don’t call me grandma anymore. I don’t have such a grandson!”

Huo Zhengye frowned, a little unhappy because Bai Qianrou did not keep her promise. Today she took the initiative to tell grandma without permission. Whether she would tell others in the future was a matter concerning Shu Wan, and it would inevitably cause harm to Shu Wan.

Shu Wan listened to her grandmother’s every word for her own good, and her heart was warm. She couldn’t help but ask, “Grandma, don’t you mind?”

In this day and age, having children is a very big deal. Divorce due to inability to have children is a very common occurrence. Some people don’t even think it’s excessive, but instead think it’s the woman’s fault.

Shu Wan didn’t expect that even after her grandmother knew about this, she would still stand on her side. It was impossible not to be moved, but unfortunately she and Huo Zhengye were not destined to be together and were destined not to meet again in the future.

But Bai Qianrou really had a good plan and came here specially to tell Grandma Huo. But she probably didn’t know that grandma didn’t care at all, which was completely different from what she expected.

“Why mind? It’s not like you have to have a child. If you really want one, just adopt one. And to be honest, the number of children I’ve given birth to is not enough to make me angry. I’m so angry that I often want to stuff them back into my belly.”

When Grandma Huo said this, there was still anger on her face. She took Shu Wan’s hand and patted it, then turned her head and looked at her grandson with a sullen face.

Huo Zhengye smiled bitterly, “Before this report came out, I was planning to divorce Shu Wan, but for some reasons, it has been delayed until now.”

“Grandma, please stop trying to persuade me. I must get a divorce.”

Grandma Huo looked at Huo Zhengye’s determined expression and it was obvious that he had made up his mind. Her grandson has always been stubborn and once he makes a decision, no one can change it. But she also likes Shu Wan and doesn’t want them to give up this marriage easily. There must be some way to make up for it.

“Is it really impossible?”

“Why do you have to get a divorce?” Grandma Huo couldn’t help but ask.

Of course, the original owner was fighting all over the compound, borrowing money and not paying it back, and doing a series of other weird and suicidal things. Shu Wan still wanted to keep a good impression in front of Grandma Huo.

“Grandma, a forced melon is not sweet. If this continues, Huo Zhengye will be unhappy, and neither will I. It’s better to let go. It will be better for everyone.”

Grandma Huo looked at Shu Wan and saw that her face was calm, without any sadness or reluctance, which showed that she really thought so.

“You decide for yourselves.”

Grandma Huo sighed deeply, and her back looked a little lonely as she left.

As soon as Grandma Huo left, the air was silent for a moment.

Shu Wan was the first to break the silence. “The past is like the wind. I would like to wish Captain Huo a bright future, peace and happiness.”
