Chapter 33

She thought that Shen Youran agreed to divorce because she was pressured by Lu Yifan. She hadn’t considered anything else.

After scolding for a while, Zhou Xiaohui felt relieved. She turned over and went to sleep.

Shen Youran was playing happily with Junjun in the space when she suddenly sneezed.

She was puzzled.

Then she thought of Zhou Xiaohui’s face and the things she had done. She pursed her lips. “That green tea b*tch is probably rolling around in bed happily right now!”

She shook her head and then hugged the milk ball. “Stop making trouble. Go to sleep. You have to go to kindergarten tomorrow.”

Junjun hugged Shen Youran’s waist and snuggled into her arms. She fell asleep after a while.

The next day.

Shen Youran sent Junjun to the army kindergarten as usual and then went to the army for training.

So did Lu Yifan.

But as soon as training ended in the afternoon, he rushed back home. He waited at the door for a while and finally waited for Zhou Xiaohui.

“Xiaohui, come in quickly. Everyone is waiting for you to eat.” Lu Yifan said, naturally taking Zhou Xiaohui’s hand and walking inside.

Early that morning, Lu Yifan had sent someone to tell his parents, so they had prepared food early and also called Lu Yiyun over.

This was a family matter, and everyone had to be there to discuss it.

Lu Yifan led Zhou Xiaohui inside, and his parents immediately came over with smiles. “Xiaohui, come sit down. We don’t know what you like to eat, so we just made a few dishes. Today, we’re mainly here to discuss the divorce between Yifan and Shen Zhaodi.”

Zhou Xiaohui gently smoothed the hair behind her ear, appearing very well-behaved and generous. “Auntie, I love everything you make.”

The family happily asked Zhou Xiaohui to sit down. Lu Yiyun looked at her behavior and also smiled. “Xiaohui is really the best. Compared to Shen Zhaodi, that unreasonable shrew, she’s just a world apart!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“I’m here today to tell you that Shen Youran agreed to divorce me. We’ll discuss the details and then file the divorce report.” After finishing, Lu Yifan held Zhou Xiaohui’s hand and declared, “I’ve always loved Xiaohui. After the divorce, I’ll marry her.”

Hearing Lu Yifan’s words, the whole family expressed their agreement.

His mother, Yang Ju, spoke first, putting a piece of meat in Zhou Xiaohui’s bowl. “If you can be with Xiaohui, it’s definitely much better than being with Shen Zhaodi. We certainly approve.”

“That’s right,” Lu Yiyun said, pursing her lips. “Shen Zhaodi is just a terrible person!”

“Last time, she clearly jumped into the lake to commit suicide to threaten you, and she blamed Liu Jie. Later, his father found out and beat her up!” Lu Yiyun thought Shen Youran was a clueless woman. She was much better than Zhou Xiaohui.

Zhou Xiaohui looked meek and obedient. She should be easy to control.

As her elder sister, she naturally had the right to speak.

Hearing her sister mention the incident of jumping into the lake again, this time, Lu Yifan didn’t completely disbelieve Shen Youran like before.

Instead, he had some thoughts about what Shen Youran had said.

Maybe Liu Jie really did push her?

“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this.” Seeing the atmosphere change, Lu Yiyun quickly changed the subject. “I like Xiaohui too. If she could marry you, you’d be so lucky! She’s a college student!”

Lu Yiyun praised her, and Zhou Xiaohui blushed.

She pretended to be embarrassed and said, “Actually, I’m not that good.”

The whole family liked Zhou Xiaohui even more.

Especially Lu Yifan’s father, Lu Zhengyi. He rarely spoke, but today he broke his silence. “You’re a camp Captain after all. It’s better to have a wife who can always think for you.”

“Xiaohui marrying you will naturally help you take care of things at home. That way, your mother and I will be at ease.”

Hearing Lu Zhengyi’s words, Zhou Xiaohui felt even happier.

She had said that she could surpass Shen Youran in every way. She had just been given a huge advantage.

Now, she had taken advantage of him, and he would get it all back.

The family praised Zhou Xiaohui to the skies, and the meal was finally finished.

After dinner, everyone moved to the sofa in the living room and started talking about the property division.

“What property does she have?” As soon as the topic came up, Lu Yiyun frowned. “She was lucky to marry you. Now she dares to bring up property division with you? Does she think she’s worthy?”

Because Lu Yiyun had spoken first, and what she said seemed to be in line with the situation, Yang Ju and Lu Zheng thought the same way.

They both felt that there was no need to give Shen Youran anything.

But they didn’t say anything. Lu Yiyun continued, “The house she’s living in was assigned to you, right? Although she usually spends her own salary, you still have to subsidize her sometimes, don’t you?”

“Besides, the child isn’t even yours!”

“She’s not worthy!”

Lu Yiyun still remembered what had happened last time. She absolutely wouldn’t let Shen Youran get any benefit from this.

So she kept belittling Shen Youran, almost saying every harsh word she could think of.

Zhou Xiaohui listened from the side, feeling even more smug.

But Lu Yifan felt a strange feeling in his heart. Actually, Shen Youran wasn’t as bad as his sister said.

“It’s true that she shouldn’t get any money,” Yang Ju stated her opinion. “What your sister said is also right. Besides, you two didn’t really have a marital relationship. So what marital property is there to divide?”

Lu Yifan hesitated a little when he heard this.

Actually, at first, he wanted to give Shen Youran money. After all, it wasn’t easy for her to raise a child.

But now, after listening to his sister and parents, he felt that they were right.

He was caught in a dilemma.

“It’s true that we didn’t have a marital relationship, but…” Lu Yifan’s expression was complicated, and a hint of struggle flashed across his face. “People outside don’t know about this. They all think Junjun is my child. If I don’t give her any money at all, people outside will know about it and point fingers at me.”

“I have a position in the army. If I do something disgraceful and it gets out, it will also affect my future prospects.”

“That’s right!”

“What kind of karma is this? It’s not your child, but everyone thinks it is!”

“Why did those people kidnap Shen Zhaodi back then? It’s like they were possessed by a demon!”

Yang Ju kept scolding, and Lu Yiyun helped her mother vent her frustration.

Lu Yifan’s words were quite reasonable, so everyone started to think about it again.

What should they do?

“Xiaohui, what do you think?” Lu Yiyun and his family were all at a loss. She looked around and found that Zhou Xiaohui had been listening attentively, so she shifted the topic to her.

Zhou Xiaohui was Lu Yifan’s future wife, so she should also have a say.

As soon as Lu Yiyun spoke, everyone’s eyes turned to Zhou Xiaohui.

She hadn’t thought about how to handle this for a moment, so she was a little embarrassed. But after thinking for a while, she sighed. “That’s true. It can’t affect Yifan’s future prospects.”

“How about…”

Zhou Xiaohui paused here, her two hands intertwined. She lowered her head and sighed. “Give her a little bit. That way, Yifan’s reputation will be better, and people won’t think he’s too heartless.”

“Xiaohui, you’re so good, so kind.” Lu Yifan had been thinking the same thing, but he was afraid that his family wouldn’t be happy if he said it. Now that Zhou Xiaohui had said it for him, he thought that the person he chose really understood him best.

Zhou Xiaohui looked at Lu Yifan’s happy expression and lowered her head. “But Yifan, you can’t give her too much. I thought about it just now. We’ll need money to get married, and we’ll have our own children.”

“If we have to pay regular child support, then we can’t agree. After all, you can’t use a large sum of money to support a child who has nothing to do with you for a long time, can you?”

“What if our child is born and feels deprived?”
