During breakfast, Huo Jinge leaned over and whispered in Jian Yunong's ear, "Is it true that Big Brother has been cursed by Bai Ru?"
This question left Jian Yunong unsure of how to respond.
Last night, Huo Liangchen reportedly confronted the elders until dawn, and it was only when Bai Ru said she wanted to rest that he left the Huo Family.
Bai Yaoyao was probably furious last night and didn't even come down for breakfast today.
Huo Jincheng's mother had a grim expression. After scanning the room, she fixed her gaze on Jian Yunong and said, "Go call your Sister-in-law down for breakfast. Everyone is here; how does it look if she doesn't come down?"
Jian Yunong was taken aback when she was singled out.
Huo Jinge looked at her with sympathy.
At this moment, going to call Bai Yaoyao felt like walking into a trap.
"I'll go," Huo Jincheng said, understanding his wife's situation and recognizing Bai Yaoyao's hostility towards Jian Yunong. It would be a thankless task to call the exhausted Bai Yaoyao at this time.
"Sit down," Huo's mother frowned. "Is no one listening? Am I asking you to do something difficult? Can't she handle this little thing?"
Jian Yunong gently pressed on Huo Jincheng's shoulder to indicate that she was fine.
With so many eyes from the Huo Family watching, why should she embarrass him?
She raised her hand and knocked three times on the door.
"Sister-in-law."
There was no response from inside.
She turned the doorknob gently; the door was not locked.
Jian Yunong pushed the door open and found that there was no one in the room.
"Sister-in-law."
Jian Yunong walked around the room and noticed the sound of running water coming from the bedroom.
She pushed the door open, and what met her eyes was a bathtub filled with red water, a shocking and terrifying sight. Bai Yaoyao was sitting in the middle of this red water, her face as pale as paper.
The red was so vivid, and the white was so ghastly.
Jian Yunong felt as if her breath was being squeezed by an invisible hand.
Bai Yaoyao had committed suicide.
Jian Yunong rushed downstairs, stumbling and disoriented.
Mrs. Huo was furious, "What are you doing?"
Huo Jincheng noticed that Jian Yunong looked unwell and stood up, "What happened?"
Jian Yunong dashed over and threw herself into Huo Jincheng's arms.
Even with so many people present, she couldn't care less.
"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law has committed suicide."
She said with a trembling voice.
As soon as her words fell, Huo Jincheng immediately released her and hurriedly disappeared around the corner of the staircase.
Jian Yunong stumbled slightly but was caught by Huo Jinge just in time.
Mrs. Huo sneered, "Suicide? Fool."
Jian Yunong felt a chill all over.
Huo Jincheng's Mother had an expression on her face that was too cold, frighteningly so. Upon hearing the news of her daughter-in-law's suicide, instead of showing concern, she scolded her for being foolish?
Looking at the expressions of others, they were speechless, frowning, indifferent; there was not a trace of sympathy to be found.
This family… it seemed that ever since Grandpa passed away, warmth had gradually faded away.
Or perhaps this family had always been like this, and she just hadn't noticed due to her carefree nature?
Huo Jincheng carried Bai Yaoyao down from the stairs. "Quick, call an ambulance!"
Huo Mother stood up and scolded, "What ambulance? Don't you think there have been enough scandals in the Huo Family these past few days?"
Is this a scandal?
Although Jian Yunong didn't like Bai Yaoyao, she felt quite sympathetic towards her.
After years of living as a widow, what awaited her was a husband who was determined to divorce her, with the third party ruining their marriage being her own sister. The Huo Family still expected her to be dignified and gracious, to endure.
If it were Jian Yunong in that situation, she couldn't even imagine how she would cope.
"Are we just going to let her die?" Huo Jincheng frowned deeply.
"Doesn't she want to die? If she doesn't die, how can we fulfill her wishes?" Huo Mother coldly raised her voice. "Have the doctor come to the house."
In the end, Bai Yaoyao was not seriously harmed.
She merely woke up looking as if she had lost her soul, dazed and wooden.
Huo Mother did not spare the surviving Bai Yaoyao and gave her a hard slap.
A five-finger mark immediately appeared on Bai Yaoyao's face.
Huo Jinge even let out a small gasp.
That slap must have hurt a lot.
"You foolish thing who doesn't know how to cherish yourself. What good is suicide? Does dying solve the problem?"
Huo Mother said coldly, "Our Huo Family does not have such weak people!"
Tears streamed down Bai Yaoyao's face as she said, "Huo Family? Huo Liangchen has never regarded me as family."
"Then get a divorce."
Huo Mother really didn't want to waste any more time on this matter.
Bai Yaoyao was utterly defeated, lacking any strategy; Huo Mother had seen through this big Daughter-in-law.
Whether it was the big Daughter-in-law or the small Daughter-in-law, none of them were worth mentioning.
As Huo Mother left, she shot a fierce glare at Jian Yunong.
Jian Yunong felt a chill run down her spine from that look.
She didn't know what she had done wrong to make this domineering mother-in-law dislike her.
Bai Yaoyao lay on the sofa, ignored by everyone. Everyone had their own matters to attend to, leaving only Jian Yunong standing there motionless.
"Are you particularly happy to see me like this?" Bai Yaoyao said despondently, a mocking smile on her lips. "Look at how unlucky I am. I tell you, in the future, you will also end up like me, kicked out by the Huo Family."
Jian Yunong shook her head. "Huo Jincheng is not like your brother."
Bai Yaoyao sneered and closed her eyes, "What's the difference? They are all descendants of the Huo Family."
Jian Yunong did not understand.
Bai Yaoyao had already made her decision. After lying half-dead for half a day, she decided to get a divorce.
When Jian Yunong learned the news, it was already the day of the Friday gathering.
Bai Yaoyao was not seen at the table, and no one asked about her whereabouts, as if she had never existed.
After dinner, when they returned to the room, Jian Yunong asked Huo Jincheng, "Sister-in-law... has she really divorced Big Brother?"
Huo Jincheng was reading at the time. "Yes, she has indeed divorced."
The divorce process was handled particularly smoothly. Bai Yaoyao, who had died once, suddenly became very carefree, not crying or making a fuss, calmly negotiating the division of property with the Huo Family.
What was hers could not be less by even a penny.
Jian Yunong couldn't help but sigh.
Huo Jinge quietly told her that Big Brother was indeed impressive; he managed to handle both the divorce and the marriage without any delay in between.
In the end, she also lamented that Bai Ru was quite remarkable.
She even seemed to have played with two outstanding men from the Huo Family at her fingertips.
After saying this, Huo Jinge realized that she had mentioned Third Brother's past in front of Jian Yunong.
"Sister San, please don't be angry."
"I won't. It's all in the past."
Jian Yunong has this confidence.
Huo Jinge squinted, "Do you trust Third Brother that much? You two have been married for less time than they have known each other!"
Jian Yunong then realized that the Huo Family brothers and the Bai Family sisters had almost grown up together as childhood friends.
This is another story.
It is a time that Jian Yunong did not participate in.
"So what?"
Now and in the future, she is by Huo Jincheng's side.
Jian Yunong was asked by the butler to go to the hospital.
"Madam wants to give Young Mistress a physical examination. You and Third Young Master have been married for quite some time now."
The butler explained gently.
Jian Yunong did not understand and looked at the butler in confusion, "I am in good health. I haven't had a fever or cold recently."
