My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 820 - : 820, men of the Huo Family are all under their wives’ thumb.

Chapter 820: 820, men of the Huo Family are all under their wives’ thumb.

Mo Weiyi thanked the doctor and then hung up the phone.

She put down her phone and quietly lay on the bed thinking.

Meanwhile, Rong An stood silently beside her.

Until Mo Weiyi suddenly spoke, “By the way, Rong An, how is my aunt doing? Did she go to Italy?”

“Not yet,” Rong An explained. “A week ago after being discharged from the hospital, the doctor said she still needed to recuperate. Mr. Mo sent her back to live in the old house in the Southern Suburb. These past few days, aside from accompanying the elderly lady, she has done nothing and hasn’t contacted Mr. Mo either.”

“Really?” Mo Weiyi raised an eyebrow.

...

Now that Xu Jing had lost the child in her womb and had been diagnosed with a complete loss of fertility, even though she was like a grasshopper after autumn, unable to create much disturbance, Mo Weiyi still felt somewhat uneasy…

She worried Mo Yaoxiong might soften his heart.

After all, Xu Jing was Xu Xian’s only sister, and Mo Yaoxiong had always taken care of her. Now, apart from Old Lady Xu, Xu Jing was all alone and unwell in Nancheng, which could easily arouse a man’s compassion…

She immediately picked up the phone and called the elderly lady.

Ever since the birthday banquet, Old Lady Xu had returned to the old house in the Southern Suburb.

The Xu family was also a scholarly family. The old lady had been educated as a lady of high society from her youth and cared greatly about face. The scandal involving her forty-year-old daughter and her son-in-law made her feel disgraced, and she hadn’t contacted Mo Weiyi much during this period.

The moment she received the call, the old lady was quite happy and first inquired about her granddaughter’s pregnancy, then she mentioned Xu Jing.

“Your aunt is so foolish. I cannot forgive her for bringing such disgrace upon us, especially since she has caused you so much trouble, Yiyi. It’s all grandma’s fault…”

“Grandma, it has nothing to do with you.”

“I am also responsible. I didn’t discipline her well enough,” the old lady sighed from the other end. “I always felt your mother was more sensible than her. But they are both my daughters, the flesh of my palms, the back of my hands—how could I be biased? Sometimes I spoke harshly only hoping she would remember and learn from your mother. I never expected that instead, it would make her resentful and feel that I was favoring her sister…”

“Grandma, it’s really not your fault. It was aunt who did the wrong things…”

“I know, but nonetheless, if it weren’t for me, Xu Jing wouldn’t have developed such an extreme personality.”

The self-blame from the old lady made Mo Weiyi’s heart ache. She said, “Grandma, since it has already happened, dwelling on it is pointless. Just tell her from me that she should behave herself from now on and not harbor any ill intentions. If she still harbors a covetous heart and dreams of becoming my stepmother, she shouldn’t blame me, her niece, for being unkind to her!”

…

Southern Suburb.

In the living room of the Xu family’s old house, Old Lady Xu just hung up the phone.

“Mom.”

Old Lady Xu felt a jolt in her heart and turned around, “Xu Jing, you’re awake?”

Xu Jing stared straight into her eyes and demanded, “Was that Yiyi who called?”

Old Lady Xu did not deny it, “Yes, Yiyi asked about you…”

“Asked if I was dead yet?”

“What are you talking about?” Old Lady Xu frowned. “Yiyi said, let’s just leave it at that, as long as you behave yourself…”

“What right does she have to lecture me? And to tell me to behave myself? I did nothing wrong, yet her bodyguard caused me to lose my child, later doused me with ice water. The doctor said I’ll never be able to have children again, and even mentioned severe damage to my womb, all because of her!”

“What are you raving about?” Old Lady Xu abruptly stood up. “You bring such embarrassment upon yourself, yet instead of reflecting on your actions, you turn around and blame Yiyi. I’ve told you already, Yiyi is a clear-cut person who can’t stand imperfections in others, yet as her aunt, you schemed against your own brother-in-law, aggravating the old man to the point he still hasn’t recovered…”

“I was forced to it!” Xu Jing screamed hysterically. “If it weren’t for her husband setting a trap, would Yunyao have been violated by that Zhang? It even made the newspapers, and her entire life has been ruined by Xiao Yebai! Now even I, even I have been destroyed by them!”

“I think you’ve gone mad!” Old Lady Xu turned and walked back to her room.

“I am mad, but you all drove me to it!”

With a slam, the door shut.

Xu Jing stood there, her face twisted into an extreme and frenzied expression.

The next morning, Yan Shunhua left the hospital and immediately rushed back to the film city to continue with the shooting.

In the afternoon, Grandmother Huo called her granddaughter-in-law.

Huo Jingshen had gone on a business trip to the United Kingdom, and Su Wanwan didn’t go to school that day.

Since there weren’t many people at home, which was quieter than a school classroom, it was more conducive to concentrated studying, and she could also wait for her master to come.

Little did she know that instead of the little old man, she received a call from Grandma Huo, who also asked her to move back and stay at the military compound.

Given the old lady’s warm insistence, Su Wanwan checked the time and first agreed to go back for dinner.

…

An hour later, Su Wanwan arrived at the Huo Family residence.

The elderly lady was very happy, having had various fruits prepared early on and even stewed a large pot of chicken soup beforehand.

Just when they were about to have dinner, two unexpected guests arrived at the house.

One was Xing Siqing, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, and the other was Chu Jingyi.

Su Wanwan’s good mood disappeared instantly.

The old lady from the Huo Family also knew that her daughter-in-law didn’t get along with these two, but she was more curious as to how every time Wanwan came over, Chu Jingyi happened to bump into her?

Once or twice was fine, but it happened so often, it really felt intentional!

Could it be…

She had an inside help in the yard?

Xing Siqing placed a beautifully packaged gift box on the table, “Grandma, this is the best broken silver tea from Cuiwei Square this year; grandpa’s favorite. Mom specifically asked me to bring it over.”

“Enough, we can’t even finish all the tea at home, no need to bring him anymore,” said the old lady from the Huo Family, her eyes shifting towards Chu Jingyi.

Chu Jingyi handed over a bag, “Grandma Huo, I just passed by the supermarket at the door. They said this was what you ordered for them in the group. It’s mealtime now, the supermarket has many orders, and Siqing couldn’t carry it alone, so I brought it over for you.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

How coincidental.

The old lady from the Huo Family subconsciously looked at her daughter-in-law, who showed no emotion, “Thank you, Jingyi. It’s just a bottle of soy sauce; you went out of your way to make a trip.”

“It was on the way, Grandma Huo, you’re too polite.” Chu Jingyi smiled.

The old lady from the Huo Family: “…”

Xing Siqing had already taken a seat on the sofa and waved, “Sister Jingyi, come and sit.”

“What an insensitive child!” interrupted the old lady from the Huo Family, “Your Sister Jingyi is a very busy person, unlike you, who is idle all day.”

After speaking, she smiled and issued a dismissal, “Jingyi, if you have things to do, you better go ahead.”

But Chu Jingyi seemed not to catch her meaning, “I’m not busy. I have been running around outside these days. It’s rare for Siqing to be here today; let’s have a chat with you.”

“No need, no need, it’s almost time for dinner. I still have to help in the kitchen, and you should go back for dinner too, right?”

“Grandma Huo, I don’t eat dinner; I’m on a diet.”

“What are you dieting for? Health is most important, and you’re not fat.”

“I can’t help it, I have a type that gains weight easily.”

“Is that so? Well, I still prefer Wanwan’s figure. No matter how much she eats, she doesn’t gain weight,” the old lady from the Huo Family finally found a point to compliment her granddaughter-in-law, “That’s why I’m anxious. I wish the kids could eat at home every day, get a bit fatter, it would make pregnancy easier in the future.”

Chu Jingyi’s expression changed slightly.

Xing Siqing’s face fell completely.

Su Wanwan coughed harshly, nearly choking on the tea she was drinking.

But quickly,

“By the way, why haven’t I seen big brother?” Xing Siqing suddenly asked.

Su Wanwan snickered internally.

The fox’s tail is finally showing; was this asked for Chu Jingyi? As expected, still harboring ill intentions, coveting my husband.

The old lady from the Huo Family simply said, “He’s on a business trip.”

Xing Siqing asked again, “Did he go to the United Kingdom?”

The old lady from the Huo Family hummed, with no intention of elaborating.

Who knew Chu Jingyi would take over the conversation, “No wonder.”

Su Wanwan glanced at her.

The old lady from the Huo Family also frowned, “What do you mean no wonder?”

Chu Jingyi hesitated to speak and also glanced at Su Wanwan.

“Speak up!” the old lady from the Huo Family urged, seeing her hesitate, “Come on, say what you want to say! You might as well not speak if you’re going to hem and haw!”

Xing Siqing hurriedly spoke, “Sister Jingyi thinks it’s not good to talk about someone behind their back. Let me say it!”

“Siqing,” Chu Jingyi pulled at her, seemingly trying to persuade, “Maybe… I saw it wrong.”

“How could you possibly see it wrong? You said he went to the UK for a business trip, and you’ve known big brother for so many years. You two were childhood sweethearts, even betrothed as kids…”

“Siqing!” the old lady from the Huo Family cautioned in a stern voice.

Realizing something, Xing Siqing stopped speaking, but quickly added, “Then I’ll say it, sister-in-law, please don’t be mad.”

Su Wanwan really wanted to roll her eyes, “Just say whatever you want to say, stop beating around the bush; it’s annoying. If you don’t want to talk, forget it.”

Xing Siqing looked somewhat unhappy, pouted and said, “Sister Jingyi went to the airport to pick up a friend yesterday, and just happened to see big brother, only… there was a woman with him.”

“A woman?” Su Wanwan immediately furrowed her brows, “Who? What does she look like? Do you know her?”

Chu Jingyi smiled slightly, “I don’t know her, but she looked pretty enough. She might be Ashen’s client because I saw him having bodyguards protecting her. If you’re curious, you might want to ask Ashen directly.”

Su Wanwan sneered, “You came here today with Siqing intentionally just to bring up this matter, didn’t you? Since you saw them, I don’t believe you didn’t take any pictures?”

Chu Jingyi: “…”

She should have known this young girl was sharp-tongued and impervious to persuasion.

“Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?” Xing Siqing stood up, “Sister Jingyi came here today to help me; if I hadn’t asked her myself, she wouldn’t have mentioned this at all! And I was just curious, what right do you have to slander someone’s goodwill?”

“Sold yet helping count the money.” Su Wanwan was relentless, “How did my husband ever end up with such a foolish cousin like you?”

“You…”

“Enough, enough.” Mrs. Huo interrupted, “Siqing, you’ve delivered the things, so if there’s nothing else, you better head back first.”

“Grandma, but mom told me to stay tonight…”

“Go back!” Mrs. Huo said sternly, her voice harsh.

Usually, the old lady was always cheerful, like a Maitreya Buddha, but that didn’t mean she had no temper.

In fact, when she lost her temper, it was quite frightening, hardly inferior to the old master.

Xing Siqing had suffered before and dared not act up any further. She quickly picked up her bag and said, “Then I’ll be leaving first.”

Chu Jingyi also stood up, “Mrs. Huo, Miss Su, I’m really sorry, but I truly had no ill intentions. I’ll be leaving now as well.”

…

After the two had left, Mrs. Huo took out her cellphone. First, she sent a smiling emoji in the supermarket WeChat group, then typed a message: “From today onward, you’ve lost a customer!”

Then she promptly exited the WeChat group.

A lousy supermarket?

I buy soy sauce and you have to make a big deal about it in the supermarket?

And have someone else bring it to me?

Really bad at business!

Then she immediately said, “Wanwan, don’t overthink it, Ashen must have gone to the United Kingdom with company clients. I trust my grandson’s character!”

Su Wanwan smiled at Mrs. Huo, “I know, I trust him too.”

“That’s good then.” Mrs. Huo reassured her, “Don’t worry, the men in the Huo Family are genetically predisposed to treat their wives well for a lifetime once they marry—they’re very faithful.”

Su Wanwan was skeptical, “Really?”

“Really! Just look at your grandfather; when he first took a liking to me, he used to loiter near my house every day. I didn’t have any interest in him initially, thought he was just a swarthy, short, poor soldier. But he was incredibly devoted… After marriage, look at him now, he listens to me in everything at home and treats me extremely well. Don’t be fooled by his stern appearance; he’s actually under the thumb of his wife.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Being under the thumb of his wife was somewhat evident—whenever the old master got angry, it was always Mrs. Huo who calmed him down, but…

Swarthy, short, and poor?

Huo Jingshen is nearly 1.9 meters tall, Huo Nuanyang is 1.88 meters, and even the least developed Huo Zhexi is 1.8 meters tall. Although the old master was already eighty years old this year, his face, imposing without anger, and his tall, fit stature were nowhere near the description of “swarthy, short, and poor.”

“Madam, should this salmon be braised or steamed?” a servant asked from the kitchen.

“Just steam it,” Mrs. Huo replied, getting up, “I’ll show you. Don’t add so much soy sauce every time…”

Seeing Mrs. Huo head to the kitchen, Su Wanwan immediately stood up and went to the balcony.

That rotten man!

To think he went on a business trip with another woman behind her back!

And even provided her with several bodyguards for protection!

And he had been spotted by her rival, Chu Jingyi, just by chance!

She closed the balcony door, gritting her teeth as she dialed the number.

**

Ji Jie had been quite relaxed these past few days, as Huo Jingshen had gone on a business trip, and before leaving, he hadn’t instructed him to do anything.

Comfortably slacking off in the office while waiting for the workday to end, he suddenly received a call from the boss’s wife.

“Ma’am, hello, what can I do for you?”

Su Wanwan’s voice was very calm, “Assistant Ji, are there any major clients recently?”

“Major clients?” Ji Jie thought carefully, “Many, the film company where you’re interning, Gu’s Media, Huangyou Investments…”

“Do you know who my husband is on a business trip with?”

“Ah?” Ji Jie quickly racked his brains, “Madam, I’m not quite sure about that…”

“My husband went on a business trip to the United Kingdom, and since it’s a business trip, it should involve work. Why don’t you know anything about it, being his assistant?” Su Wanwan was logical, “Are you hiding something from me?”

Ji Jie was terrified by this barrage of accusations, feeling a chill down his spine.

Huo Jingshen had only told him that he was returning to the United Kingdom to handle some matters, which were probably… personal.

In a rush, he said, “No, ma’am, how could I dare to hide something from you, but I really don’t know; it might… be a personal matter.”

“Since it’s a personal matter, why did he tell me it was a business trip?”

Ji Jie: “…”

Wish he could slap himself.

“Moreover, he was with a beautiful woman, and there were several bodyguards protecting her, who exactly is she?”

Ji Jie, once again: “……”

Madam, just kill me! How would I know…

“Just tell me the truth, reveal everything you know, or when I get back, I’ll have my husband fire you!”

Ji Jie with a sorrowful face, “Madam, I am only guessing it might be a private matter, but I really don’t know what specific private matter it could be; of course, it might also be business, perhaps President Huo hasn’t sent me the email yet… in short, I really don’t know, I swear!”

There was silence on the phone for a while.

“Madam…”

“I understand, I’ll hang up now.” After saying that, the call was disconnected.

Ji Jie: “…”

**

During dinner, Grandpa Huo came home.

Only three people sat in the enormous dining room, the silence was abnormal.

Usually, Grandpa Huo always adhered to the principle of “eat without talking,” he hardly ever spoke, but today, even the lively Su Wanwan was silent…

“Wanwan, drink more of this soup; it’s from the free-range chicken personally raised by Commissioner Wang next door.” Grandma Huo served a bowl of chicken soup to her, but found that Su Wanwan was only bowing her head to eat white rice, as if she hadn’t heard.

“Cough cough!” Grandpa Huo coughed loudly, and Su Wanwan finally snapped back to reality.

She first looked up at Grandpa Huo, seeing he was just drinking soup without talking, then turned to look at Grandma Huo.

The grandma glared at her husband and cheerfully said, “Wanwan, drink more of this soup, you see, you’ve lost weight from all the studying recently.”

“Thank you, Grandma.” Su Wanwan smiled and took up her spoon to gulp down the soup.

“Drink slowly, be careful it’s hot.” Grandma Huo really felt like her heart was breaking.

After dinner, the Grandpa went out for a walk to digest, while Grandma pulled Su Wanwan back to the living room, “What’s wrong, Wanwan, why do you look so out of sorts? Are you still thinking about what Siqing said earlier?”

Su Wanwan naturally denied it, checked the time, and said, “Grandma, I need to go back now.”

“Stay here tonight, the room upstairs in Ashen’s is empty. Besides, aren’t you afraid to stay alone in such a big villa?” Grandma Huo was quite worried, “You’re a young girl, I’m not at ease.”

“It’s okay, Imperial Court has good security.”

Huo Jingshen didn’t like having other people at home, since sending Fu Ziyang to live with Fu Qi, it was basically just the two of them at home, and he was in charge of cooking; the hired maid only came at fixed times to clean.

Truth be told, he had only been gone for a day, and though Su Wanwan enjoyed the freedom, she indeed felt quite lonely being alone…

But she didn’t know when her master might suddenly come over, and she really couldn’t leave the house unattended.

Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but start complaining.

Really…

In this day and age, the old man still doesn’t use a cell phone, can’t he understand a little given his age?

“Wanwan, about what Jingyi said earlier.” Grandma Huo patted her hand, “If you’re worried, just call Ashen and ask him directly. The most important things between a husband and wife are communication and trust. Don’t keep doubts in your heart or overthink things. Life should be lived simply, talk about whatever is on your mind with Ashen, understand?”

Su Wanwan looked at Grandma Huo, “Grandma, I really envy you.”

“Envy me for what?”

“I envy that you and Grandpa could grow old together, and he’s even henpecked.”

Grandma Huo was immediately amused, “Don’t worry, you and Ashen will definitely grow old together too.”

Su Wanwan smiled, then nodded.

…

She got back to the Imperial Court villa, it was not yet seven in the evening.

Su Wanwan checked the time and sent Huo Jingshen a WeChat voice message.

It was almost noon in United Kingdom, she didn’t know if Huo Jingshen would pick up, she was just trying her luck.

Unexpectedly, the call went through.

“What’s up?”

Su Wanwan heard it was quite silent on the other side, with faint car horns in the background, he must be on the road?

She asked, “Are you busy?”

“What’s up?” Huo Jingshen’s voice was a bit low, as if he didn’t want others to hear, “It’s only been a day since I left, and my baby is already missing me?”

“…” Su Wanwan was straightforward, “I’m asking you, who accompanied you on this business trip?”
