Chapter 38

A trace of guilt flashed across Huo Miaoyue’s eyes, and then she straightened her back.

What she said was not wrong, so there was no need to feel guilty. Besides, she was now a normal grandmother and was not afraid to stand on Shu Wan’s side.

Huo Miaoyue raised her chin slightly and looked back, not wanting to be outdone.

Grandma Huo on the side frowned, “Huo Miaoyue, apologize to your sister-in-law!”

“I said something wrong, I won’t apologize!” Huo Miaoyue said angrily with her neck stiff.

“You!” Grandma Huo was so angry that she pointed at Huo Miaoyue without saying a word. She turned around and left. When she came back, she had a branch as thick as her little finger in her hand.

Huo Miaoyue widened her eyes, unable to believe that her grandmother, who had always loved her so much and never used violence, would actually beat her for a stranger.

Her buttocks felt painful, and Huo Miaoyue was now certain that her grandmother was not just pretending, she really wanted to hit her!

Huo Miaoyue wailed, covered her butt, and ran away, “Grandma, I was wrong, please stop hitting me!”

“What’s wrong?” Grandma Huo kept moving her hands.

“I…” Huo Miaoyue looked around and tried to hide, but the space here was small and Shu Wan was still standing at the door, blocking her way completely.

With no way to escape, Huo Miaoyue screamed in pain, “Sister-in-law, I’m sorry!”

Grandma Huo stopped and said, “If you are rude next time, I won’t show mercy.”

Huo Miaoyue covered her butt and felt like crying out of grievance.

Why did grandma stand on Shu Wan’s side and vent her anger after she recovered? She was obviously grandma’s biological granddaughter!

Huo Miaoyue ran back to the house angrily. She just fell on the bed and before she could burst into tears, she was pulled up and rushed to cook.

Huo Miaoyue burst into tears, was angry, and went crazy!

She doesn’t like either the sick grandma or the normal grandma!

After the conversation, Grandma Huo sat on the stool, breathing heavily. After her breathing became more stable, she turned to Shu Wan and said, “Huo Miaoyue has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child. She is lawless and outspoken. She was very well behaved when she was a child, how come she became like this when she grew up.”

“Come sit down and let’s chat.”

Grandma Huo patted the stool next to her and motioned Shu Wan to come over.

As soon as Shu Wan sat down, she heard Grandma Huo speak:

“When children grow up, they still make me worry. After worrying about my own children, I have to worry about my granddaughters. Sometimes I think it would be better not to have children so that I don’t have so many worries.”

Shu Wan didn’t know how to answer, so she just smiled and said nothing.

Later, Grandma Huo talked about something else. Sometimes the topic revolved around the difficulty of having children, and sometimes she talked about the importance of the relationship between husband and wife. Shu Wan was confused and bewildered.

Seeing the confusion in Shu Wan’s eyes, Grandma Huo sighed and let her go into the house to rest.

Shu Wan immediately got up and went back to the house. Grandma Huo was so weird.

On the other side, Xu Yang sent Shu Wan home and drove to the military training ground.

During this period, Huo Zhengye was preparing for a new round of military exercises. After the training, Huo Zhengye was washing his hands. When he saw Xu Yang coming over, he didn’t even raise his head and said, “You are absent this afternoon.”

“Something delayed me this afternoon.” Xu Yang looked at Huo Zhengye and couldn’t help asking, “Do you really want a divorce?”

Huo Zhengye glanced at him and asked, “You came here just to ask me this?”

Xu Yang actually nodded.

“Why don’t you think about it, sister-in-law has really changed.”

Huo Zhengye sneered, “What did she give you to persuade you to persuade me?”

Although Xu Yang usually doesn’t say it, she knows that Xu Yang doesn’t really like Shu Wan, and he also supports the divorce.

“What are you thinking about? My sister has been caught by a human trafficker. If my sister-in-law hadn’t exposed the trafficker and saved my sister, she would have been abducted. You also know how cunning those criminal gangs are. It’s unknown whether we can find my sister now that she’s in their hands.”

The more I thought about Xu Yang, the more scared I felt, and the more grateful I was to Shu Wan.

Huo Zhengye frowned, finding it unbelievable that Shu Wan’s thighs were not even as thick as his arms, yet she could beat the vicious human traffickers.

Seeing his old comrade frowning, Xu Yang couldn’t help but speak up for Shu Wan, “Don’t disbelieve me, the trafficker was still holding a knife. When I arrived, my sister-in-law had pinned him down so that he couldn’t move.”

Xu Yang couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.

“There’s still a knife?” Huo Zhengye frowned even more fiercely.

Shu Wan was so brave that she dared to attack even with a knife. Does she know what fear is?

“It’s a pity that one human trafficker escaped and only the woman was caught. I owe my sister-in-law a huge favor.” A trace of gratitude flashed across Xu Yang’s eyes.

Huo Zhengye said with a complicated expression: “We should thank her.”

He never thought that Shu Wan would have such good qualities as bravery, integrity and courage. He was impressed by the fact that Shu Wan risked her life to save the abducted woman.

But even if Shu Wan becomes a better person, he cannot accept what she did in the past, and his decision will not change.

Xu Yang glanced at Huo Zhengye and said, “So I took her to look for a house this afternoon.”

Huo Zhengye was stunned, and suddenly remembered what Shu Wan had told him yesterday about finding a house.

“How’s the search going?”

Xu Yang patted his chest and vowed, “Don’t you know how efficient I am? I have already found it, and I signed the contract this afternoon.”

“I felt a little sorry for you, but since you’re planning on getting a divorce, you’re leaving anyway, so it should be okay to move out early.”

Huo Zhengye frowned. He thought this would make him happy, but he felt a little annoyed in his heart. Probably because this matter has been delayed for too long.

After returning home, the inexplicable irritability did not dissipate, which made Huo Zhengye look very angry. Huo Miaoyue, who was originally planning to complain, just kept silent. Shu Wan was knitting a sweater in her room and didn’t come out.

The irritability remained until the moment he saw Shu Wan, and suddenly disappeared. The next moment, Huo Zhengye frowned.

Shu Wan was so thin that she seemed like she would break if squeezed. Her hand holding the chopsticks was even thinner and more fragile. With her physical condition, she still wanted to save people, not to mention that there was a knife on the other side.

Huo Zhengye thought that when Shu Wan showed off to him later, he would talk to her about this issue.

In the past, Shu Wan would talk nonstop around him about everything she did, let alone the good things she did today, she would not say a word unless he believed her.

However, Huo Zhengye waited and waited, waited until dinner time, waited until after dinner, waited until Shu Wan returned to the room, but he still didn’t get any.

Huo Zhengye suddenly realized that the other party had no intention of talking to him at all.

But he thought about it and felt that it was still necessary to enhance her safety awareness.

Thinking of this, he knocked on Shu Wan’s room.

When Shu Wan opened the door, she was visibly stunned when she saw that it was Huo Zhengye. This was the first time she saw Huo Zhengye knock on the door on his own initiative.

Although she didn’t know what it was about, she happened to have something to tell him.

Shu Wan took a step back and stepped aside to let Huo Zhengye enter the room. “Come in and talk.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shu Wan felt Huo Zhengye’s gaze looking at her.

Shu Wan suddenly realized that Huo Zhengye might have misunderstood.

The original owner had tricked Huo Zhengye into the room, then took off her clothes to seduce him, but she didn’t have any dirty thoughts at all!

I just feel it’s cold outside and don’t want to go out.

As expected, people should not be lazy. In order to avoid misunderstandings, Shu Wan took the initiative to speak, “Wait a moment, I’ll go into the house and put on my coat, and then we can go out and talk.”

Shu Wan didn’t close the door. She turned around, went into the room, picked up the coat on the bed, put it on, and was about to go out.

Huo Zhengye stopped her and looked down, “You are not wearing shoes.”

Shu Wan laughed awkwardly, picked up the shoes on the ground and put them on, keeping her head down the whole time, so she didn’t notice that Huo Zhengye’s face was visibly turning red.

When Shu Wan put on her shoes, her upper body leaned forward, and she was wearing a V-neck sweater. Huo Zhengye could see the deep and long…
