Huo Jincheng is he afraid of embarrassing Bai Ru?
No, he is overthinking; she wouldn't care about Bai Ru at all. She has no right to.
In this marriage, there are too many people; she is the extra one. The one who should feel embarrassed is her!
"Aunt, what should I do now?"
"Right now, you can only passively wait."
Mist Shenshen feels sorry for her Little Fool. She actually wants to tell her that if you don't have children, you can just get pregnant again. But without love, what happiness can there be in a marriage that only has children?
The reason Mist Shenshen has not married yet is that she wants to find a lover and doesn't want to settle for anything less.
If she herself cannot accept a loveless marriage, how can she tell Jian Yunong to endure such a situation?
The words "endure" are so hurtful.
At this moment, Mist Shenshen's phone rings.
It’s a friend from the media industry, bringing some very explosive news.
Bai Ru attempted suicide!
"Is it true?"
Both Mist Shenshen and Jian Yunong are shocked.
"The person is still in the hospital being rescued!"
To prove it to them, the friend also sent several photos.
Bai Ru was covered in blood and was carried out by someone.
A thick layer was wrapped around her wrist.
Jian Yunong's gaze suddenly fixed on the man holding Bai Ru.
The white shirt he wore was also stained with bright red blood.
His handsome profile was sharply defined, as if cut by a knife or axe.
Such an outstanding appearance, there wouldn't be another face like his in all of Nancheng.
It was Huo Jincheng.
He had rushed out just now to save Bai Ru.
"Everything will be fine. With Huo Jincheng around, Bai Ru won't be in any trouble," Jian Yunong said casually.
The certainty in her tone made Mist Shenshen feel heartbroken.
Her newlywed husband was carrying another woman and making headlines; did her newlywed wife really not care at all?
"Auntie, maybe this time Huo Jincheng will finally decide to get a divorce," Jian Yunong said lightly, not wanting her aunt to worry. People have to grow up; they can't always make their elders anxious.
"Then everything can be resolved."
Mist Shenshen, however, was not pleased. "Resolved? He can indeed solve everything—get divorced and remarried, live happily with a beautiful woman. But what about you? Today, your marriage to him has been exposed, and with Bai Ru causing such a scene, you'll become a second-hand bride! The most famous and tragic one in Nancheng! In just one day, you’ll be labeled as a discarded woman! Nong Nong, do you know what being a second wife means for a woman?"
"That's still better than having no love and enduring it for a lifetime! Auntie, am I really that innocent? Others won't see me as innocent; they'll just think I deserve it. If I cling to him, I won't be happy either! It's better to let them be together!"
Mist Shenshen did not expect such words to come out of Jian Yunong's mouth.
"Okay!" She was not a gold digger who sought after wealthy families. "It's fine! At worst, Aunt will always take care of you! Aunt will work hard and take you abroad! I don't believe that our Nong Nong, such a good girl, won't find someone!"
How grateful it is to have a supportive elder, family member, or friend by your side during the toughest times. For Jian Yunong, Aunt Wu Shenshen was such a wonderful presence.
"Aunt, let's pack up and leave."
"Alright! We won't wait to be kicked out! We'll leave on our own!"
Before leaving, Jian Yunong drafted a simple divorce agreement.
The agreement was straightforward, with no demands, just one sentence: I am willing to divorce.
The silly girl didn't want a single cent from the Huo Family.
Mist Shenshen thought Little Fool was foolish, but she still let her be.
*
At the hospital.
Bai Ru was resuscitated and pushed into the ward to rest.
She slowly woke up; the pain in her wrist was excruciating, but when she saw Huo Jincheng standing by the bed, she felt happy inside, yet turned her face away awkwardly.
"What are you doing here? Want me to die?"
"Is that what you really want?"
Huo Jincheng asked without any warmth in his voice.
Bai Ru stubbornly nodded, "Yes!"
"Ha..."
A cold laugh from the man responded to her.
Bai Ru's wrist was suddenly grabbed by Huo Jincheng. He applied slight pressure on her wound, causing Bai Ru to wince in pain, her whole body trembling on the bed.
"What are you doing?" Bai Ru looked at Huo Jincheng in disbelief.
A strange feeling gradually filled Huo Jincheng's face.
"If you really want to die, don't do it this way! Be decisive, jump down from the building, and everything will be resolved. When you jump, it's best if your face hits the ground first, so that no one can recognize you in a bloody mess. After all, you won't have any shame left."
Huo Jincheng released her hand.
Bai Ru felt as if her heart was breaking. "You want me dead? Huo Jincheng, you've changed!"
"Yes! I've changed. Didn't you realize? Otherwise, how would we have ended up like this?"
Tears streamed down Bai Ru's cheeks. Huo Jincheng had never spoken to her like this before or laid a hand on her. It had only been a month since they separated; why had he suddenly become like this?
"You care about me. If you didn't care, why would you rush over when you received my text? Since you wish for my death so much, why didn't you just let me die then!" Bai Ru wiped away her tears and looked at Huo Jincheng pleadingly. His white shirt was still stained with her blood; a man who usually cared about his appearance wore such a wrinkled shirt all night clearly waiting for her to wake up.
What else could this be if not caring?
Bai Ru was desperately seeking evidence of Huo Jincheng's love for her.
She couldn't accept that Huo Jincheng had truly left her.
"Huo Jincheng, I have been waiting for you while abroad. I thought you would come after me. Even the rumors with those men were all intentional. I wanted to make you angry; if you cared about me, you should have come after me. As long as you came, I would have followed you. But I never expected that the one who really left me would be you."
"Huo Jincheng, did you ever love me?"
"Huo Jincheng, I can't live without you."
Bai Ru was crying so hard that she could barely catch her breath.
In the past, if Bai Ru shed even a single tear, Huo Jincheng would feel heartbroken and be at a loss, going to great lengths to comfort her and lift her spirits.
But now, Huo Jincheng remained silent, his face devoid of any expression, let alone any action.
"It's too late."
Huo Jincheng furrowed his handsome brows. "What you need now is rest."
"Too late?"
Those two simple words struck Bai Ru like a thunderclap in her mind.
Since this man was as hard-hearted as iron, Bai Ru decided to give up on her previous submissive demeanor. "The news of my suicide has already spread. You might not care if I tell the reporters that you are a heartless man. But your ordinary little wife will be seen as the mistress by anyone with eyes..."
There was no need for Bai Ru to say that Jian Yunong was the mistress; those who were unaware of the truth were always eager to gossip about such scandals in wealthy families. The rumors would surely be more sensational than simply calling her a mistress.
Huo Jincheng's expression darkened further, his breathing becoming heavy. "Bai Ru, do you know how annoying you are right now? Stop clinging to this; we are done, and she has nothing to do with it."
He couldn't help but sneer. "Ask yourself honestly, is your current state because you feel miserable about losing me or because of your pride? Don't you just enjoy being adored? Am I supposed to adore you for a lifetime? Also, we were never officially together. You never agreed to be my girlfriend. Strictly speaking, I'm here only because I didn't want to see you truly lose your mind after our acquaintance."
Bai Ru clenched her fists tightly; beneath the blanket, no one could see her nails digging deeply into her tender palm, the pain bringing clarity and madness.
"Get lost!"
Bai Ru didn't want to hear another word from Huo Jincheng!
"Take care of yourself!"
Huo Jincheng turned and left without any hesitation.
Bai Ru finally broke down, burying her face in the blanket and crying hard.
The woman's suppressed and sorrowful cries pierced through the door of the hospital room.
Outside, Xu Yizhi couldn't help but shake his head. What was the point of this? Oh woman, just don't have a princess complex; it could be deadly!
"I'll head back first. Arrange for a few nurses to take care of things here. Don't let anything else happen."
Huo Jincheng instructed Xu Yizhi, "Don't let any reporters in. Bai Ru still has to live her life."
After all, this man was not as hard-hearted as he had just appeared in front of Bai Ru.
Xu Yizhi patted Huo Jincheng on the shoulder, "Brother, have you really let go? I'm happy for you. You're free from suffering!"
Huo Jincheng shrugged off his hand as the phone at home rang at that moment.
"You scoundrel! Get back here right now!"
The old man's booming voice nearly shattered Huo Jincheng's eardrums.
"Better head back. I'll light a candle for you."
Xu Yizhi figured Huo Jincheng was in for it.
"First, go to the villa in the west of the city."
The villa in the west was the new house for him and Jian Yunong.
Huo Jincheng couldn't wear his clothes back to the Huo Family Old Residence. His grandparents were superstitious; if they saw anything stained with blood, they would likely blame Bai Ru.
He never expected that this time he would be walking into a trap.
His grandparents were waiting for him in the new house.
"You little brat! On your wedding night, how could you not be here!"
Old Master Huo raised his cane to hit him, but was stopped by his wife.
"Go change your clothes first. What are you wearing?" Grandma was clearly much calmer now.
Huo Jincheng came down after changing his clothes and voluntarily knelt before the two elders.
"Are you planning to divorce that girl Jian Yunong? Just tell Grandma the truth; as long as you are willing, I will take charge, and you can divorce her immediately and marry Bai Ru."
"Grandma, what are you saying? Marriage and divorce are not a joke! You were the ones who wanted me to get married in the first place, and now you're the ones talking about divorce. Is this a game?"
Huo Jincheng knelt up straight.
His grandparents exchanged glances.
Thank goodness!
There is still hope!
