Wang Hu, worried about his parents’ concerns, said, "Mom, Dad, don’t worry. I can handle this blow. You shouldn’t be too upset either. Bai Fanglan and I were never meant to be. From the start, things felt awkward between us. Since she despises me so much, I can’t force her to stay. If she can find happiness, I’m willing to let her go."
Mrs. Wang sighed, "Forget it! I can’t intervene! Take care of your own matters."
"Isn’t this too much? Getting a divorce just months after the wedding, isn’t that outrageous?" Father Wang still hoped the two wouldn’t divorce. How many couples have divorced nowadays? If Wang Hu wants to move forward, he can’t divorce so easily, or it could cause trouble if someone with ill intentions makes something of it.
Wang Hu smiled, "Dad, don’t worry. It’s not like decades ago. Marriage is free now. Besides, Bai Fanglan brought it up first. It won’t have any effect. Let’s leave it at that." He hung up the phone.
Turning back, he saw the girl in military uniform, hands behind her back, smiling at him.
Wang Hu was startled, "Yao DianDian, what are you doing? Eavesdropping on my call."
"I didn’t mean to. I came to make a call too and happened to overhear a few words." Yao DianDian looked at him intently. Wang Hu felt uneasy under her gaze, touched his face, and said, "Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"No, I just want to offer my condolences."
"What nonsense, it’s just a divorce, no one’s dead." Wang Hu thought to himself, this girl’s so young, she doesn’t understand anything.
Who knew Yao DianDian would say, "Didn’t they say marriage is the grave of love? Your love’s long dead, your marriage’s dead, died twice, of course, I owe you my condolences."
Wang Hu couldn’t help but laugh, what kind of logic is that! Too lazy to talk more with her, "Go make your call, I’m heading back."
Yao DianDian hummed, waved him off, and went to make her call. In her heart, she thought, he’s divorced now, I have a chance. He’s a bit of a blockhead, but a very likable blockhead.
Wang Hu didn’t know he was being targeted. He asked for leave from his superior and returned overnight.
Bai Fanglan was sulking at home while Bai Chuan kept nagging her after the Wang Family left.
"How could you speak to your in-laws like that? They are your husband’s parents, your elders! Be careful, they’ll complain to Wang Hu, and you’ll be divorced!"
Bai Fanglan, irritated, turned away from her grandfather, "I’m tired, I don’t want to talk." She never expected a divorce from Wang Hu. She just wanted to stir things up, hoping for Wang Hu’s comfort. Since her miscarriage, Wang Hu had ignored her completely. She was just angry.
Bai Chuan said, "You’re really out of line."
Bai Fanglan sneered, "They’re all good people, and I’m the one with corrupt morals. Otherwise, how could I have been fired? Grandpa, you don’t even help me find a job, just scold me here!"
"I’m not scolding you, you child, you’re really..."
"Grandpa, stop talking!" She sat up in frustration, "I never liked Wang Hu that much from the start. It was you who insisted I be with him! He doesn’t care about me, pays no attention. Even after the miscarriage, he stayed comfortably in Beijing, showing no consideration, not even a call. My whole life is sacrificed for grandpa!"
Bai Chuan looked at her. She was willing herself, marrying Wang Hu to garner envy and jealousy, but now that there’s trouble, she blames it on him. But she’s his granddaughter, how could he quarrel?
