Chapter 844: 844, kneel down! Apologize to Wanwan! [One more update]
“Auntie Han, pull KO back inside,” Su Wanwan said.
“Woof!” KO wagged his tail in protest.
Auntie Han: “…”
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to pull him.
It’s just…
She simply couldn’t budge him.
KO was nearly a ter high and extraordinarily burly and powerful…
Auntie Han struggled with the leash, and only when Su Wanwan forcefully shut the villa’s black iron gate did KO finally get shut inside too.
“Woof—”
KO’s front paws clawed at the iron gate, as he desperately stretched his neck, barking incessantly.
Su Wanwan turned and walked away.
“Howl—”
So KO’s wailing beca even more pitiful.
Su Wanwan furrowed her brows, dragging her suitcase without looking back.
Tang Yiwen also dragged his own suitcase, but as he walked, he kept sneaking glances at his little apprentice’s expression, coughing twice, “Little apprentice, if you really can’t bear to leave, then don’t go.”
Su Wanwan kept a cold face and said nothing.
“When that stinky boy cos back, I’ll just kick him out, right? Don’t worry, with your master backing you, he wouldn’t dare to defy! And if he does, I’ll break his legs!”
Su Wanwan still didn’t speak.
Tang Yiwen was at a loss for words and could only say, “It’s fine. If we’re going to stay at a hotel, then let’s stay at a hotel. Your master will accompany you.”
Su Wanwan pressed her lips together, finally speaking up, “Master, I’m sorry, it’s rare for you to visit Nancheng, and now you have to stay in a hotel with …”
“What nonsense are you talking about, I’m doing this willingly! Even if you wanted to live under the Sky Bridge, your master would join you!”
“I’m so useless, if only I knew…”
If only she had known, she should have kept that house Mr. Xing had compensated her with. Instead, Huo Jingshen had used it as a mortgage for an investnt, resulting in her not having a place to stay now…
And after getting up today, she calculated her savings and realized she had less than ten thousand yuan left in her account!
The most valuable thing she probably had was the little red car, which she ended up leaving at the Yanjiao hospital yesterday…
Eating and drinking well every day, dressed in finery, she never really felt it, but now that she was truly about to get a divorce, she realized that without Huo Jingshen, she had reverted to being the nothing-to-her-na Su Wanwan.
What was even worse was that her job at Yan Shunhua’s place fell through too. With only two months left of sumr vacation, what would she do about her internship report when school started?
Downtrodden, Su Wanwan suddenly felt like a dog that had lost its ho…
Such a failure!
“Don’t be downhearted. Rest assured, your master is here, and I’ll support you in whatever you want to do!”
Su Wanwan sighed, “Master, you’re really kind…”
“Wanwan! Wanwan!”
The sudden voice startled Su Wanwan.
A black sedan stopped at the intersection ahead, the car door swung open, and Old Mrs. Huo hastily got out and ran towards her.
The little old lady was over seventy years old this year, and although she was in good health, it was truly dangerous to see her running like that.
Su Wanwan hadn’t expected her to actually co over at all; she quickly unfolded her suitcase and hurried forward a few steps to support her, “Grandma, please be careful.”
As expected.
“Oh my, running makes my heart hurt…”
Su Wanwan felt awkward.
Old Mrs. Huo held her chest, took a mont to catch her breath, and quickly asked, “What are you doing? Why are you still carrying a suitcase? Are you planning to run away from ho?”
Su Wanwan frowned, “Grandma, how did you get here?”
“How could I not co? As soon as you ntioned divorce, it scared to death. Look, your grandpa ca with .”
“Ah?”
The door on the other side of the black sedan opened, and Old Mr. Huo got out with the aid of his cane.
Unlike the little old lady, the old man exuded an inherent sense of authority from top to bottom. Even in his soft silk sumr clothes, the spark in his eyes could not be concealed, and the expression on his face was so stern it was frightening.
Su Wanwan was already timid around him, and moreover, this was the first ti the old man had visited the Imperial Court villa. Especially when he asked in a loud voice—
“What on earth is going on with you!”
Su Wanwan shrank back a little, “I…”
“What are you raising your voice for, you old fool? Who are you trying to scare?” Old Mrs. Huo scolded her husband before she hurriedly took Su Wanwan’s small hand and gently caressed the back of it, “Good child, don’t be afraid, tell what happened. What did Ashen do wrong?”
“Who are you two?” Tang Yiwen had been watching from the side with his head tilted for a while now.
He hadn’t heard that his little apprentice had any grandparents other than Su Yuntang; could it be…
Su Wanwan quickly introduced, “Grandpa, Grandma, this is my master.”
“Master?” Old Mrs. Huo looked at Tang Yiwen.
The little old man was dressed in traditional attire, wearing a fisherman’s hat, and even dragging a suitcase beside him; he looked lean, short, and much like one of the swindlers you would find in those antique shops on the old cultural streets…
And what era was it to still have a ‘master’?
But since her granddaughter-in-law said so, then it must be so.
“Hello, Master,” Old Mrs. Huo imdiately greeted him with a smile, her tone polite, “I’m Ashen’s grandmother, and this is my husband…”
“Oh, so you’re that rascal’s grandparents. Good, since you’re here, let’s speak plainly,” Tang Yiwen let go of the suitcase, “My little apprentice is now divorcing your good-for-nothing grandson, what are your thoughts on this?”
Before Old Mrs. Huo could speak.
“It’s too late for any opinions; my little apprentice has already decided on the divorce, so let’s talk about the division of property and alimony…”
“Master!” Su Wanwan quickly pulled him back.
Could he not always bring up the property? It was so embarrassing.
Sneaking a glance at Old Mr. Huo, sure enough, his face was as dark as a thundercloud.
He probably saw her as a heartless woman looking to split the Huo Family’s fortune amidst the divorce…
However, Old Mrs. Huo was extrely anxious, “We can’t divorce, it surely can’t end in divorce…”
“Why not? Your scoundrel grandson deceived my little apprentice, and with such despicable conduct, should we wait to celebrate the New Year with him instead of divorcing?”
“I… I won’t argue with you!” Old Mrs. Huo, unable to outtalk him, turned around and pulled Su Wanwan by the hand, “Wanwan, talk to properly, why do you want a divorce, what exactly did Ashen do?”
It was a hot day, and the morning sun was scorching.
They happened to be by the roadside, and at this ti of day, there were plenty of residents who couldn’t help but look over curiously.
Su Wanwan felt a bit awkward, “Grandma, about that issue, I’ll talk to him personally when he returns. It’s too sunny here, why don’t you and Grandpa go back first…”
“How could I possibly go back when we are about to get a divorce?” Mrs. Huo wasn’t willing, “You tell first, what did he do wrong?”
Su Wanwan: “…”
“You refuse to say, is it because you don’t trust Grandma to take your side?” Mrs. Huo’s expression turned forlorn, “Since you married into the family, have I ever treated you poorly?”
“Not at all, Grandma, you’ve been very kind to , and I like you very much.”
Since marrying Huo Jingshen, Mrs. Huo had indeed treated her as dearly as her own granddaughter, and with a particularly good temperant, she often had engaging conversations with Su Wanwan, forming a friendship that transcended age.
“Then tell . Rest assured, I will definitely stand by your side to support you. Whatever apology you want from Ashen is fine, but divorce is out of the question. As long as you don’t divorce, anything goes! I agree to any condition you put forth!”
“Grandma…”
A screeching halt of a car suddenly resounded.
Everyone turned towards the noise.
A familiar black Mu Shang stopped by the roadside, its door swiftly flung open.
The first thing that caught the eye was a pair of long legs clad in straight black trousers, followed by Huo Jingshen getting out of the car.
“Ashen! You’re finally back!” Mrs. Huo imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
This granddaughter-in-law, although usually easy to talk to, seed to have made up her mind just a mont ago.
Thankfully…
Thankfully she herself had been wise, stalling for ti.
Mrs. Huo walked forward and slapped Huo Jingshen’s arm, “You little scamp, I let you go on business trips all the ti, only knowing work, and your wife is about to be driven away by you! Hurry up and apologize to Wanwan!”
“I know,” said Huo Jingshen, who had already hurried over.
Despite such a hot day, he was dressed in a clean, neat white shirt and black trousers, the shirt buttoned up to the very top.
Aside from his slightly disheveled short hair and the faint stubble on his thin lips, he looked impeccable, exuding an abstinent sex appeal.
“What is all this?”
It was his usual commanding tone of questioning.
Su Wanwan looked up at him, suddenly feeling a surge of acidity in her eyes.
She blinked fiercely, then lowered her face and turned around to drag the suitcase, “Master, let’s go.”
“Huh?” Tang Yiwen was gearing up for a fight, but upon hearing her, he hurried over to pull the suitcase too.
However, Su Wanwan had barely taken a step when a long, bony hand snatched the suitcase away and tossed it aside.
With a “thud”.
Su Wanwan exploded, “Why are you throwing my suitcase!”
She had taken all night to pack her suitcase, carefully selecting her own belongings…
“You little brat!” Tang Yiwen also charged over, “What gives you the right to throw my little apprentice’s suitcase!”
Huo Jingshen looked at the master-apprentice duo, his distinguished brows tightening, “You’re Wanwan’s master?”
“What else!” Tang Yiwen retorted angrily, tilting his head back.
Damn, how did this damn kid grow so tall?
His brows furrowed tightly, and then he had no choice but to step back, which made his neck feel a bit more comfortable.
“Nice to et you, master,” Huo Jingshen attested, albeit respectfully, but after saying this, his handso face darkened and he reached out to grab Su Wanwan’s arm, commanding authoritatively, “Co back with .”
“I won’t! Go back by yourself!” Su Wanwan desperately pushed him, but the man’s grip was just too strong, she simply couldn’t break free.
Her eyes couldn’t help turning red, her heart felt aggrieved, and she even forgot that there were people watching around…
She shouted frantically, “Bastard, let go of !”
Huo Jingshen, who was called a bastard, patiently asked, “Can you listen to explain first?”
“What’s there to explain? I heard it with my own ears! Are those two going to slander you?”
“What did you hear?”
“Don’t you have any clue what you did yourself?”
Huo Jingshen’s brows twitched, “What exactly did I do? Wasn’t it just that I hid the news about Yan Shunhua from you? I can explain that. She has so issues that indeed are not convenient to ntion…”
“Ha ha,” Su Wanwan scoffed coldly, “Besides that?”
“What?”
“You’re still playing dumb!” Su Wanwan was about to explode with anger.
At this point, he still wanted to keep things from her?
Forget it.
Su Wanwan was already too lazy to talk to him, “Let go, I want a divorce from you!”
“I’ve said before, I, Huo Jingshen, if I marry, will not divorce!”
Huo Jingshen’s forehead veins throbbed, his words resounding even more emphatically.
This even made the Old Madam Huo watching from the sidelines clap her hands in glee.
Good, good, as long as Ashen is dead set against a divorce, this marriage certainly won’t end. She had a lot of faith in her grandson.
But to Su Wanwan now, these words only sounded like mockery.
After all, back when the two of them had just gotten married, she hadn’t shouted about wanting a divorce infrequently because of the generational gap between them, and every ti Huo Jingshen would respond with this sa line…
At that ti, she didn’t understand, why didn’t Huo Jingshen want to divorce?
They had already slept together, and even if it was a novelty, that had long passed, right?
Now it seems, it was all for a reason.
“Is it because you haven’t yet obtained the twenty percent of the Eastern Alliance’s shares, so temporarily you can’t divorce?”
Sure enough, upon hearing her say this, Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes; a surge of emotions rolled in the depths of his gaze.
Then he asked, “How did you find out about this?”
“Didn’t expect that, did you? Are you panicked? You’ve been enduring marriage to soone you clearly don’t like, this whole year, it must have been especially hard for you, right? For that twenty percent of the shares, you really have suffered and endured!” After saying this, Su Wanwan lifted her chin, “Let go!”
Huo Jingshen did not speak but also did not let go of his grip.
“Didn’t you hear when I told you to let go? Are you deaf?” Su Wanwan struggled desperately, then turned to the side, “Master, co and help !”
“Ashen!”
It was Old Madam Huo who rushed over first.
She directly said, “Kneel down! Apologize to Wanwan!”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Su Wanwan also: “…”
