Chapter 22: I’ve Made Up My Mind, I Won’t Divorce You

Since the Huo family’s decline, few relatives remained in contact.

Huo Rufeng felt it didn’t matter whether they held the wedding banquet or not.

But Shen Anan immediately shook her head.

“This won’t work, Uncle Huo and Aunt Yang will definitely not agree!”

She wasn’t blind.

How could she not see how happy Uncle Huo and Aunt Yang were about the wedding banquet?

As parents, they raised their children to see them start families.

Besides, Uncle Huo was a very proud person; he wouldn’t agree to a marriage without a banquet.

“I’ll talk to them, I won’t let you be troubled.”

Huo Rufeng met her gaze.

His tone was calm.

It seemed like it was just a trivial matter.

“No, no, no!”

Shen Anan quickly stopped him.

How should she explain?

Uncle Huo and Aunt Yang had done so much for her, yet she wasn’t willing to do such a small thing.

How long could she hide from the Shen family?

It was better to just tell them.

As Uncle Huo said, if they wanted to come, then they could; if not, then so be it.

They raised her for eighteen years, even if her adoptive parents weren’t good, it would be wrong of her not to invite them.

“I’ll go and tell them tomorrow, it’s also to give Uncle Huo and Aunt Yang an explanation.”

Shen Anan made her decision.

Her gaze was firm.

She wasn’t someone who would procrastinate.

Since the problem existed, she should solve it as soon as possible!

Huo Rufeng only found her appearance to be rather silly…

Very cute.

He kind of wanted to pinch her little face.

Noticing his gaze, Shen Anan froze, then blushed instantly.

It was terribly hot.

She hadn’t blushed so easily before they got married!

Why was this happening?

Shen Anan roared inwardly.

But Huo Rufeng suddenly said, “You should know, if we hold this wedding banquet, it will be difficult for you to remarry after…” He didn’t finish his sentence.

Shen Anan interrupted him, “I’ve told you, I’ve made up my mind, I won’t divorce you!”

Huo Rufeng was stunned for a moment.

Before, he had thought that if they held the wedding banquet, more people would know about Shen Anan’s marriage, making it inconvenient for her to remarry.

But at this moment, hearing her answer for what felt like the umpteenth time, he suddenly felt he should reflect on himself.

Even this silly girl was so firm, why was he so hesitant?

He looked down at his legs.

Following his gaze, Shen Anan suddenly knelt down.

She was level with him, even slightly looking up at him.

“Even if your legs can’t be cured, I’m willing to be with you for the rest of my life.

Your many good qualities far outweigh the fact that you’re in a wheelchair.

And… Uncle Huo said I have a talent for medicine, maybe one day I can cure you!”

Shen Anan smiled brightly.

Like a warm ray of sunshine, never to disappear.

The corners of Huo Rufeng’s eyes curved upwards, and he couldn’t help but reach out and touch her head.

“You really look like a fool when you smile.”

Shen Anan: …

From today onwards, she would never smile in front of him again!

The next day, Huo Aihua went to the hospital after breakfast, and Yang Qiuju went to the Hecheng Food Factory’s canteen with her bag.

She used to manage the canteen there.

She had worked at the factory for many years, and the leaders were kind to her, even granting her such a long leave.

Now that she was better, she had to go back to work.

Her son was getting married, and they needed money for everything!

She didn’t expect Shen Anan to go out and earn money; it was enough for her to stay home and take care of Rufeng.

She and Huo Aihua earned enough.

Besides, Rufeng was currently a military officer, although he was recuperating at home, he still received a subsidy.

Shen Anan washed the dishes and clothes, said goodbye to Huo Rufeng, and prepared to go back to the Shen family.

Unexpectedly, as she walked out of the Huo family’s house, she saw a familiar figure at the bus stop—

Liu Cailan.

Was it a coincidence?

Liu Cailan had sharp eyes and saw Shen Anan, her face lit up, and she quickly walked over.

“I didn’t know where you were working as a nanny, I asked around for a long time, luckily you came out!”

Seeing her mother’s fawning manner, Shen Anan felt something was wrong.

“What do you want?”

She got straight to the point.

Liu Cailan paused, then pouted.

“How do you talk to your mother? It hasn’t been long since you left home, you don’t even have any manners?

Mom heard you got married, so I came to see you, afraid you were being tricked!”

Heard she got married?

Shen Anan’s eyes flashed with doubt.

Who would tell her mother?

Who knew about this?

“I heard you married a military officer? Is it the family where you worked as a nanny?”

Liu Cailan couldn’t hide her joy.

Although Xiuxiu said Shen Anan might hate the Shen family, what if?

She had raised Shen Anan for eighteen years, shouldn’t she be less resentful?

“Mm.”

Shen Anan wasn’t sure what her mother wanted, so she only hummed in response.

The next moment, she heard her mother sigh, “Such a big thing as getting married, you didn’t tell your mother, mom was so worried!

And your dad and your brother, they were worried sick!”

Let’s not mention Xiuxiu, lest Shen Anan would hold a grudge about the supply and marketing cooperative job again.

Shen Anan remained silent.

She was eighteen, not eight.

Who would believe this?

Seeing Shen Anan’s lack of reaction, Liu Cailan cursed the ungrateful child in her heart, but still put on a caring face.

“Although you’re not biologically our daughter, your parents treat you as their own, and your brother sees you as his elder sister!

By the way, your brother is in high school now, he talks about you every day when he gets home…”

Shen Anan was surprised to hear that Shen Yaozu had gotten into high school.

Did her birthday wish actually come true?

Given Shen Yaozu’s grades, even after a last-minute cram session, she thought getting into high school was unlikely.

“That’s good, let him study hard, and get a stable job after graduation.”

Shen Anan replied.

As for whether he genuinely missed her or not, she didn’t have the time or energy to think about it, nor did she care much.

Liu Cailan immediately nodded.

“Yes, mom thinks so too!

You know, your mom and dad work so hard, they don’t dare to spend money on themselves, why?

It’s just to see Yaozu get a good job, marry a wife, have children, and then they can rest assured!”

Shen Anan didn’t respond.

Before, she would feel sorry for her parents, but after leaving home, she suddenly saw things more clearly.

Since it was for Shen Yaozu, why tell her? Did it have anything to do with her? It wasn’t for her.

Seeing Shen Anan’s lack of reaction, Liu Cailan felt a little worried.

This ungrateful child, wouldn’t she care about her brother at all?

No!

She had to get the money first.

She had wanted to mend their relationship, but look at this?

She had complained for a long time, but this ungrateful child didn’t show any sympathy!

“Anan, your second aunt’s son transferred to a technical secondary school, saying that it’s hard to find a job after high school.

I think so too, technical secondary schools offer job assignments!

If your brother can go to a technical secondary school, you’ll have someone to help you in the future?”

Shen Anan twitched her lips.

She didn’t expect Shen Yaozu to help her…

“Just say what you want to say.”

Shen Anan vaguely guessed what her mother was here for.

“Anan, it costs money to transfer your brother to a technical secondary school…”

Liu Cailan rubbed her hands.

“I don’t have any money.”

Shen Anan said the same thing.

Did she have money? A little.

But that was given by Uncle Huo and Aunt Yang, and she had to spend it on the Huo family.

Had her mother ever given her a penny?

She had slandered her at the supply and marketing cooperative last time, and the fact that she was still speaking calmly was already quite something.

Liu Cailan had anticipated this, and quickly said, “I’m not asking for your money!”

“Then what else do you want to say to me?”

Now Shen Anan was a little confused. Did her mother come all the way just to chat?

“Anan, your in-laws must be quite wealthy, right? They must have given you a dowry, right?

Give the dowry money to mom, mom will use some to transfer your brother to a technical secondary school, and save the rest for you, how about that?”
