She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 163 - 0: Glaring at Me is Useless, Divorce!
Chapter 163 -0163: Glaring at Me is Useless, Divorce!
Mu Lan couldn’t help but laugh out of anger. Was that really what Huo Tingxiao cared about?
“If I don’t open the drawer, how would I know such a thing was hidden inside?
Huo Tingxiao, do you find it amusing to deceive me?
I clearly had already planned to divorce you, why did you say you didn’t know?”
Huo Tingxiao never expected that he would be one step too late.
“Mu Lan, the reason I asked to meet with you today was actually to talk about this matter, I…”
Seeing the mocking smile on Mu Lan’s face, it was obvious she didn’t buy this explanation.
Huo Tingxiao’s eyebrows furrowed, and his tone became even colder.
“You don’t believe me?”
“Do you deserve my trust? Yesterday I clearly asked you whether what you said was true, and you personally told me yes!
Huo Tingxiao, I was so naive to think that there was at least some trust between us.
But you… you let the harsh reality slap me in the face, telling me that my trust was trampled by you, worthless.”
The more Mu Lan spoke, the more agitated she became, feeling like a complete fool.
Huo Tingxiao fell silent; this silence made Mu Lan feel he was too disdainful to explain himself to her.
“What, now you’re too lazy to even talk? Huo Tingxiao, I won’t tolerate this cold war tactic of yours any more. We have to make things clear about what happened today!
Even if I had amnesia, I shouldn’t be fooled by you like an idiot!”
“I don’t want to give you the cold shoulder, I just wanted to wait for you to vent your anger and calm down before we talk properly.”
As a man who was straightforward to a fault, Huo Tingxiao did not realize that his so-called ‘talking after calming down’ was utterly useless for a girl who had already lost control of her emotions.
Well, Mu Lan got even angrier.
“Talk? What else is there to talk about with you? Forget it, since the divorce agreement is here, we—”
Huo Tingxiao caught the two words Mu Lan was about to say next; his gaze instantly turned icy, and his handsome face tensed up to a frightening expression, causing Mu Lan to instinctively stop talking and after a two-second pause, she continued to confront him.
“The one in the wrong now is you, yet you dare to glare at me?! Huo Tingxiao, who gave you the courage? Fish Leong?
Your glaring is useless, divorce!”
In the end, Mu Lan still spit out those two words.
She didn’t understand why she had such a fiery temper; she had finally started to trust Huo Tingxiao and actually thought there might be a positive change in their relationship. She even considered that living life together like this wouldn’t be so bad.
But no sooner had she entrusted her trust than she was slapped in the face.
Mu Lan was furious with Huo Tingxiao and even more furious with herself; how could she be so weak? She constantly reminded herself not to care, not to care, yet she couldn’t help but care so deeply.
Especially seeing him looking so composed made her rage even more.
“I’ve already said that I will not agree to a divorce, and you’d better give up on that idea too.
It wasn’t possible before, and it’s even less possible now!”
Huo Tingxiao’s own temper flared up, his domineering tone only adding fuel to the fire.
Mu Lan glared furiously at the man in front of her, the man who had done wrong yet still dared to raise his voice at her, her eyes almost shooting flames.
“Let me tell you, Huo Tingxiao, don’t think that just because you helped my brother, I owe myself to you!
Do you think you’re the Emperor? Is it impossible just because you say it’s impossible? I’m definitely going through with this divorce!”
After finishing her tirade, Mu Lan left the private room in a huff, and just as she did, she came face to face with He Yan, poor He Yan who didn’t know they had just had a fight, still holding the bouquet of purple hyacinths Huo Tingxiao had ordered for her—”
“Mrs. Huo…”
“Mrs. Huo my ass, don’t call me Mrs. Huo ever again.”
Enraged by Huo Tingxiao, Mu Lan took out her anger on He Yan, an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire, leaving him stunned in place.
He Yan pitifully walked into the private room holding flowers and felt an icy chill in the air. He saw his boss sitting there with a frosty face, not saying a word. The dishes on the table were untouched, and there was… a torn brown paper bag.
It was over. It seemed that Mrs. Huo had discovered the divorce agreement, so…
“Mr. Huo, are you… okay?”
Huo Tingxiao looked at He Yan with a cold expression on his face and spoke indifferently, yet his tone seemed to be edged with ice.
“What, do I not look okay to you?”
“…”

He Yan thought, ‘You would know if you looked at yourself in the mirror right now.’
Mu Lan stormed out of the hot pot restaurant, fuming with rage, and the first person to pop into her mind was Gu Xiaoman.
Just as it happened, Gu Xiaoman was at home editing her first vlog. She answered the phone and immediately told Mu Lan to come to her apartment.
“What happened? Did that dog Huo Tingxiao make trouble for you again?”
As soon as Mu Lan saw her best friend, she could no longer hold back and, hugging Gu Xiaoman, burst into loud sobs.
“Xiaoman, he lied to me… sniff, sniff…”
Gu Xiaoman was a bit confused; just before this, Huo Tingxiao had reassured her time and again that he would treat Mu Lan well and even personally admitted he liked Mu Lan. It had only been a few days, the plot twist in a TV show wouldn’t happen this fast, would it?
“Don’t cry first, what exactly happened?”
Mu Lan hiccuped and stammered out the story, while Gu Xiaoman couldn’t help showing a facial expression full of question marks.JPG, and couldn’t help but complain.
“So what, are you two acting out in a Qiongyao drama? ‘Listen to my explanation, I won’t listen, I won’t listen…’ But I can understand; after all, you’re thinking like an 18-year-old, inevitably less rational in dealing with problems, hmm…”
Mu Lan blinked, not expecting Gu Xiaoman to say that.
“Did that dog man bribe you?”
Gu Xiaoman rolled her eyes.
“He’s nothing, how could he bribe me?
But regarding this matter, I do think that both of you are pretty childish.
However, I understand. No one can stay rational when they’re angry.
Huo Tingxiao is the same. Talking to you about reason, waiting for you to finish throwing a fit before properly discussing, what’s the use? Just hug you in a wall-slam followed by a forceful kiss to quiet you down, then explain afterwards, wouldn’t that do the trick?”
Mu Lan clearly hadn’t cooled down yet.
“I’m not so lovestruck. If he dares to wall-slam and force a kiss on me, I’d slap his damn dog head flying!”
Gu Xiaoman handed over a few tissues to Mu Lan and sighed.
“Oh come on, if you really wanted to slap his dog head off, would you be here crying to me?
Young lady, it seems to me you’ve once again fallen into his hands.”
Mu Lan was taken aback.
“What do you mean?”
“What do I mean? You figure it out yourself.”
Mu Lan blinked, looking at Gu Xiaoman’s face which read ‘I saw through it all a long time ago’.
“You think I like Huo Tingxiao?”
Gu Xiaoman shrugged.
“It’s not what I think, it’s what you think. If you didn’t like him, why would you feel such a profound sense of betrayal? Lanlan, look beyond the surface to the essence; think about it, and ask yourself, how do you really feel about him?”
Mu Lan’s eyelashes were still wet with tears, stunned into speechlessness by Gu Xiaoman’s words.
Seeing Mu Lan’s bewildered face, Gu Xiaoman felt that today she might have to take on the role of a love advisor and give this young girl a proper lesson.
