Chapter 29

The autumn wind was a little chilly and it blew straight into Shu Wan’s neck. She felt a little annoyed that she didn’t wear more clothes when she went out.

Huo Zhengye standing next to him was wearing a thin army green shirt, his back was straight and his face was expressionless. Wasn’t he cold?

“I have submitted the divorce report and it will take a week for approval.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Grandma and Huo Miaoyue are going to live at home, so I’m sorry to bother you during this time! I’ll sleep in the lounge during this time, so come find me if you need anything.”

Shu Wan felt a little embarrassed. Strictly speaking, they should be ex-husband and ex-wife, but she still stayed in someone else’s house and refused to leave, forcing others to live outside.

Shu Wan waved her hand, “I will find time to move out as soon as possible, and you can come back then. Grandma is sick, and I’ll feel more at ease if you stay by her side.”

Huo Zhengye frowned, slightly displeased.

He found that no matter what he said, Shu Wan would attribute it to him driving her away. He obviously had no intention of kicking her out, and besides, had she found a place to live? Are you in such a hurry to move?

“Don’t worry. I’m just preparing for the competition recently. It’s more convenient to live in the army. You can rest assured.”

Shu Wan said “oh”. Huo Zhengye was a very nice person. In order to make her feel at ease staying there, he even explained everything to her. This made her feel even more embarrassed for shamelessly occupying his room.

“I am the one who is embarrassed. Aren’t we divorced?”

“I will move as soon as possible, and I will take good care of grandma before moving.” Shu Wan assured again.

He didn’t realize it before, but Huo Zhengye found that Shu Wan was really stubborn and overly polite.

She has become sensible and no longer takes advantage of him, nor does she have any intention of pestering him. Shu Wan has really changed and is moving towards a better direction.

If she had been like this before, this marriage would not have ended in divorce.

This thought only lasted for a few seconds before being shattered by Huo Zhengye.

There is no “if” in the world. You have to bear the consequences of doing anything. Besides, he never looks back and never regrets a decision.

This time is no exception.

Huo Zhengye looked at Shu Wan, who was shivering and rubbing her arms, and stopped, “I’ll take you home.”

Shu Wan waved her hand, “Don’t bother, it’s just a few steps away. It’s very cold today, you should go back quickly too.”

After saying this, he ran away without waiting for Huo Zhengye to answer.

Huo Zhengye did not leave, but followed Shu Wan until she reached home safely, then he turned and left.

He had only taken two steps when someone called him.

Yu Chunyan trotted over to Huo Zhengye and said, “Captain Huo, someone knocked on your door this afternoon. It was a little girl and an old lady. The old lady seemed to have gotten lost.”

Huo Zhengye’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Yu Chunyan gritted her teeth and continued, “It’s like this. They came to look for you this afternoon, and I went over to tell them that you and Shu Wan were not at home, so they should stop knocking. I didn’t know when you would be back, and I was afraid that the old man would be tired outside, so I asked if they wanted to come in and sit for a while.”

“The little girl quickly agreed and turned to talk to the old lady. I don’t know what they said, but she turned around and told me that she couldn’t get enough milk and she was on her own.”

“I was worried about leaving the old lady alone outside, so I gave the little girl a sip of water and asked her to come out. But when she came out, I found that the old lady was gone.”

Yu Chunyan was annoyed, “I should have let the old lady come along at that time. I wonder if she has been found.”

What Yu Chunyan said was more detailed and reasonable. Thinking of Huo Miaoyue’s explanation and deliberate misleading, Huo Zhengye was extremely disappointed with this cousin.

Huo Zhengye pursed his lips and said, “That old lady is my grandmother. She has been found.”

Yu Chunyan looked relieved, “It’s good that we found it. The old man still needs to be more attentive.”

Shu Wan jogged all the way home. The coldness dissipated and she was covered in sweat. She met a face full of disgust.

Shu Wan didn’t want to please or deal with Huo Miaoyue, so she left her words and went to take a shower.

“You and grandma sleep in the east room, and I sleep in the west room.”

She had boiled the water in advance, so it was still boiling hot when she washed. She added some cold water and it was just enough for her use.

After taking a shower and drying myself, I heard a scream.

The voice came from the east room. Shu Wan’s face changed slightly and she quickly put on her clothes.

I hurried to the east room and saw it was in a mess. Huo Miaoyue was squatting on the ground crying, and Grandma Huo was wailing beside her.

When Grandma Huo saw Shu Wan, she stopped crying and looked at her aggrievedly, “Xixi, where did you go? There are thieves who want to steal our things!”

Huo Miaoyue screamed, her eyes red, “Grandma, I’m your granddaughter, how can you side with outsiders? Besides, everything here belongs to my cousin, why can’t I use it?”

Grandma Huo refused to listen and put her hands on her hips and cursed, “Thief, bad woman! If you try to make connections again, I’ll beat you to death!”

“grandmother!”

Huo Miaoyue was extremely angry and vented her anger at Shu Wan, “You are so proud of yourself, grandma is on your side.”

Shu Wan raised her eyes and looked at her coldly, “It’s impolite to touch other people’s things. I just let you sleep in this room, not give you the things.”

She just discovered that the wardrobe, boxes and drawers had been opened and were in a mess. Apart from grandma, Huo Miaoyue is the only one left in the room, and the culprit is about to be exposed.

Now she was just glad that she had kept it in mind and hid the valuables in the secret compartment in advance.

Huo Miaoyue was exposed, but she didn’t show any panic on her face. “Humph, who cares? I don’t even have Dacron or vanishing cream. My clothes are patched up, but they’re not as good as my own.”

When Huo Miaoyue said this, her eyes rolled around the room.

When she got married, she got a lot of good things from Shu Wan, but now she has nothing. This woman must have hidden the things.

Seeing Huo Miaoyue’s greedy and restless look, Shu Wan warned her coldly, “Since you don’t like her, please behave yourself. If you make trouble again, you will sleep in the west room!”

“You dare? Tomorrow I will tell my cousin that you bullied me.” Huo Miaoyue said angrily.

The west room is smaller than her room at home. She can hit her head against the wall when she turns over. How could she sleep there? !

She didn’t want to live there.

Grandma Huo’s eyes widened beside her. Want to sleep with this bad girl?

Grandma Huo shook her head like a rattle and held Shu Wan’s arm tightly with both hands, “Don’t leave me alone, Xixi, I want to sleep with you.”

Huo Miaoyue really didn’t want to live in the west room, so she forced a smile and pulled Grandma Huo to act coquettishly.

“Grandma, what’s wrong with sleeping with me? I’ll be good.”

“Get away, bad guy!”

Grandma Huo’s arms were shaking as if they were stained with something dirty, and her whole body exuded a resistance so strong that it was suffocating.

Huo Miaoyue had never been wronged like this before, she collapsed and yelled, “Grandma, I hate you!”

Grandma Huo hid behind Shu Wan and made a face at her, “I hate you too.”

Huo Miaoyue ran away feeling aggrieved, and glared at Shu Wan fiercely before leaving.

As soon as Huo Miaoyue left, Grandma Huo lifted the quilt and patted it, “Xixi, let’s go to sleep.”

The thick but warm quilt blocked the cold. Shu Wan lay in the bed, and her cold hands and feet gradually felt warm.

Perhaps it was the warmth of the body that relaxed the tense brain.

After being curious about the question for a whole day, Shu Wan couldn’t help herself and called Grandma Huo Xixi when they first met.

“Grandma, who is Xixi?”

As soon as she asked, Shu Wan regretted it.

I shouldn’t ask this. After divorcing Huo Zhengye, they are no longer related to each other and I shouldn’t ask this.

Grandma Huo’s eyes sparkled in the darkness, serious and cherishing.

“You are my most beloved sister. I want to watch you grow up and get married.

The voices became lower and lower, snoring began, and Shu Wan felt her eyes sore.

In her previous life, she had few relatives, her mother died early, her stepmother was unkind, and her father was not close to her, so he gave all his love to her stepsister.

It is so ironic that such words of unconditional love come from the mouth of an old person who is not related by blood.

Shu Wan couldn’t sleep.

When I woke up the next day, I heard someone complaining:

“Which daughter-in-law has not gotten up yet? She is so lazy! She even sent me to the west room yesterday. Who knows what she will do to grandma when I am not around?”
