Huo Jincheng frowned and asked, "Who delivered the documents?"
He instinctively felt that his mother wouldn't suddenly take the time to investigate Jian Yunong.
"They were delivered by a servant from the house."
Surprisingly, it wasn't his mother's assistant who brought them in?
Documents related to Jian Yunong should have been sent directly to the house. This manner of handling things didn't seem like his mother's style.
Huo Jincheng found the servant who delivered the items based on Huo Jinge's description. It was said that the person who brought the items wasn't wearing a delivery uniform, which didn't seem like a normal delivery.
The clue ended there, as there was no sender information on the package.
This meant that the document was specifically targeting Jian Yunong.
An hour later, Huo Jincheng was called to his mother's study.
The diagnosis given by Dr. Zhou shocked Huo Jincheng.
Regarding intimacy between men and women, Jian Yunong had a slight psychological barrier, and it had been ongoing for quite some time.
His mother erupted in anger, "This is the consequence of marrying someone casually! Just because her family background is ordinary, she still has all these issues."
Huo Jincheng appeared much calmer, "In this fast-paced society, everyone has some psychological issues to varying degrees. Our married life is perfectly normal; I haven't noticed any problems with her. Moreover, Dr. Zhou said it's only slight."
His mother threw a document in front of him, "You take a good look at this. This is far from a minor issue. After all these years, nothing has improved! Who knows how she will develop in the future!"
The document includes photos and Jian Yunong's medical history.
It is not very detailed, but one can sense that the person who collected the information put in a lot of effort, which is not easy.
The more Huo Jincheng read, the more desolate he felt inside.
He thought Jian Yunong hated him and disliked him, which was why she resorted to medication.
But in reality, she had psychological issues.
That is to say, she was like this with everyone.
Huo Jincheng's heart was tumultuous, but he maintained a calm facade. "What does this represent? It only explains the past. I don't think this will affect our relationship in any way."
He closed the document and lightly tapped it with his fingers. "Mom, I have already married her. Why do you dislike her so much? Why do you have to nitpick at her? You should know that if it weren't for her donating blood after my car accident, you might have lost me. Grandpa and Grandma both like her; you're the only one who doesn't. I don't think the problem lies with her."
Huo's mother picked up on her son's underlying message.
Everyone liked Jian Yunong, except for her; if there was a problem, it wasn't Jian Yunong, but rather Huo's mother.
"What advantages does she have besides being a walking blood bank? With our Huo Family's current conditions, would you really be unable to find a suitable match when you need blood?"
Huo's mother slammed the table. Ever since Huo's father passed away, she had been in charge of almost everything at home.
She had high hopes for Huo Jincheng, but instead, the elders of the family had carelessly settled on Jian Yunong.
Huo Jincheng stood up, curling his lips into a cold smile. "I like her. Is that enough? Mom, can you not stand to see your son like someone? When I liked Bai Ru, you absolutely refused to let her in. Now that I like Jian Yunong, you start nitpicking at her?"
"Having psychological issues can be serious or trivial! Who knows if it might turn into a mental illness in the future?"
"Enough!" The more they talked, the more absurd it became! Huo Jincheng didn't want to get entangled with his mother any longer. "I think she has no problems. If you insist on believing she has issues, then I guess I must have problems just like her."
With that, Huo Jincheng left the room and walked next door to pull Jian Yunong out of her daze.
Huo Jincheng was leaving the Huo Family Old Residence.
He couldn't explain things clearly to his mother, so there was nothing more to say. His mother's prejudice against Jian Yunong was too deep; even using insulting terms like "mental illness" truly disappointed Huo Jincheng.
The two of them got into the car, and Jian Yunong was finally pulled into the passenger seat. Huo Jincheng even remembered to buckle her seatbelt, being more considerate than when they arrived.
"What were the results of the tests?" Jian Yunong's voice sounded hollow and devoid of tone.
"No problem." Huo Jincheng's driving momentarily faltered before quickly returning to normal.
If that were the case, why did he have such a gloomy expression while taking her away from the Huo Family Old Residence? His mother had argued with him, and she hadn't shown him any kindness. Jian Yunong was also aware of her psychological issues; they fluctuated between good and bad.
She found those psychological test questions very familiar.
Her secret was finally about to be exposed in front of everyone.
"Huo Jincheng." Jian Yunong called his name softly, with a hint of tenderness. "I'm sorry... I've been keeping this from you."
Huo Jincheng tightened his face and said, "Jian Yunong, I don't want to hear anything right now."
Tears slowly streamed down Jian Yunong's face. "Is it really that embarrassing? I was troubled too. I'm sorry."
She turned her face away, not allowing Huo Jincheng to see.
When they got home, Huo Jincheng went upstairs first.
When faced with problems, he preferred to verify things himself.
He needed to find out who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
He would suddenly question Jian Yunong about taking medication, stemming from a text message sent from a mysterious number.
Right after he and Jian Yunong had an argument, trouble started brewing from Huo's mother.
It was clear that someone was trying to cause trouble for Jian Yunong.
A person flashed through Huo Jincheng's mind—Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing definitely had the motive.
...
When Ye Qingqing received Huo Jincheng's call, she was getting her nails done.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Even when Huo Jincheng introduced himself, Ye Qingqing still looked as if she didn't recognize him.
"Miss Ye, it seems you've been too idle lately. Is the reduced workload quite comfortable?"
Ye Qingqing nearly ground her teeth in frustration. Although she didn't care about money, being targeted like this and having her scheduled work suddenly reassigned was simply too humiliating.
"I don't know what I did to offend you, Young Master Huo, for you to treat me like this."
Huo Jincheng sneered, "If you didn't know before, that's one thing, but you still don't understand now? Ye Qingqing, you meddled in my family affairs and slandered my wife. I will make sure to settle this account with you."
Ye Qingqing refused to acknowledge it. "I don't know what you're talking about. Jian Yunong has issues in her heart, just like her aunt; neither of them are good people. Only blind men like you would treat them as treasures!"
"Miss Ye, I finally understand why Ji Shaoli divorced you. With your temperament, you'll drive any man crazy sooner or later."
"..." The divorce from Ji Shaoli was a sore spot for her; who could touch that? Ye Qingqing shouted into the phone, "Huo Jincheng, no matter how I am, I'm better off than you, marrying a woman who needs medication just to sleep with you. How much of a failure are you? Bai Ru must have hit you hard, huh? Now you're holding onto trash like it's treasure!"
The busy tone of the call echoed on the other end.
Huo Jincheng didn't expect Ye Qingqing to be so petty as to dig up Jian Yunong's past and send it to his home.
The Ye Family was currently in turmoil, yet this Ye Qingqing still thought of herself as the former young lady of the Ye Family.
Huo Jincheng immediately called his assistant to investigate Ye Qingqing.
Huo Jincheng did not consider himself a good person; of course, he believed in avenging grievances.
After calming down, he immediately went to find Jian Yunong.
However, he could not find any trace of her in the entire building.
Along with her, her suitcase had also disappeared.
Huo Jincheng realized that Jian Yunong had never felt secure; she had never settled down, which was why she could leave without a word and without any mementos from Dingdian.
But where could Jian Yunong go?
Besides seeking refuge with Mist Shenshen, could she really escape anywhere else?
Huo Jincheng dialed Jian Yunong's number, and to his surprise, she answered his call.
"Don't worry. I will tell Grandpa and Grandma that it was all my fault and has nothing to do with you. Send me the divorce agreement; I won't take a single cent," Jian Yunong's voice was heavy. She truly did not expect things to come to this point.
"I'm sorry." Jian Yunong took a deep breath. "Maybe if I wasn't mentally healthy, I shouldn't have gotten married. Marrying you was really an accident."
If it hadn't been an accident, she might have never interacted with men at all, let alone experience a normal relationship or marriage.
After saying this, Jian Yunong felt a wave of bitterness almost break through her voice.
"I'm sorry." After hurriedly saying this, Jian Yunong hung up the phone.
Jian Yunong truly had nowhere to go, so she could only seek out Aunt Wu Shenshen.
Mist Shenshen had recently moved into a new home, residing in a brand new duplex.
Seeing Jian Yunong dragging her suitcase and coming to her with red-rimmed eyes, Mist Shenshen immediately inquired about the reason and was instantly filled with rage.
"Huo Jincheng kicked you out?"
"No. I just felt too ashamed to stay."
This girl with such thin skin!
Mist Shenshen wiped her tears, saying, "It's a small matter! In modern society, everyone has some mental health issues to some extent. Don't take it too much to heart."
"But I haven't gotten better all these years," Jian Yunong said, growing more aggrieved. "I feel like I won't ever get better."
Mist Shenshen felt helpless; the turmoil in her marriage had triggered her own fears about marriage.
Isn't it better not to get married?
Why must one get married?
But she wouldn't say these things to Jian Yunong.
Seeing Jian Yunong crying so heartbreakingly, Mist Shenshen felt that it was not as simple as just being wronged.
"You told your aunt, do you have feelings for Huo Jincheng?"
Jian Yunong wiped her red nose and dragged Nong Nong's nasal voice, "But what does it matter if I like him? His mother doesn't like me, and he doesn't like me anymore."
Jian Yunong couldn't help but cry even harder.
Mist Shenshen was about to say something when the doorbell rang at that moment.
"Don't be anxious; maybe it's Huo Jincheng coming to find you."
Mist Shenshen smiled as she opened the door, but when she saw the person standing outside, it was too late to close it.
Ji Shaoli forced his way in, holding desserts in his hand, and looked up to see Jian Yunong sitting on the sofa, hugging her knees and wiping her tears.
"What happened? Everything was fine; who made you cry?"
Jian Yunong wiped her tears away. Suddenly, she felt like she shouldn't have come to her aunt's place and disturbed her life. Ji Shaoli came in so casually, finding the kitchen and dining room with ease, clearly a regular visitor.
Even her aunt was in a relationship now, and here she was feeling alone at this moment.
Having tasted the feeling of companionship before, loneliness suddenly seemed shameful.
