“Jian Yunong, the divorce agreement is here. As for Huo Jincheng, you can bring it up yourself, and I can give you some compensation.”
One bombshell after another was thrown.
Jian Yunong looked at the divorce agreement, feeling a bit familiar with it.
“So, you really want us to get a divorce…”
Mrs. Huo glanced over coldly, “Then tell me, what qualifications do you have to be worthy of my son? What qualifications do you have to be the Daughter-in-law of the Huo Family? I know Huo Jincheng likes you; you can be his lover, but my Daughter-in-law of the Huo Family absolutely cannot be you.”
Jian Yunong was left speechless.
Mrs. Huo's worldview was too different from hers.
Jian Yunong stood there with a pale face.
“I heard your aunt has gone missing.”
Mrs. Huo's words sparked a flicker of anger in Jian Yunong. She raised her eyes to look at the domineering old woman.
Mrs. Huo wore a smile on her face, “I have a way to rescue your aunt.”
Jian Yunong tightened her grip on the infertility report.
“What do you mean?”
"Huo Jincheng's friend, no matter how impressive, is just a young person."
Huo's mother said calmly, "The longer Mist Shenshen stays there, the more dangerous it becomes, and the possibility of returning will diminish. If you are willing to sign the divorce papers, I will help you rescue Mist Shenshen. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
Jian Yunong had a bad premonition.
"If I intervene slightly, Xu Yizhi might not be able to leverage his connections."
Jian Yunong glared at this mother-in-law. Is this a mother-in-law? This is an enemy!
"I don't ask for your help; why do you have to be so cruel! That is my family! That is a life! Can you not be so heartless?"
Jian Yunong picked up her phone, trembling with anger.
"Are you planning to call Huo Jincheng? To confront me? Everything he has is because of me. The Xu family will definitely stand by my side. You want him to lose everything he has, along with his friends facing misfortune? No problem. Go ahead and try."
Huo's mother sneered, "Do you think I'm being excessive? You occupy the position of his wife, you prevent him from having children, you make the Huo Family face extinction, and that's not excessive? Moreover, your aunt originally had a chance to be rescued but missed the best opportunity because of your selfishness. Now saving her might still yield a complete person. Who knows what will come out if we delay further."
Jian Yunong shivered; this time it was out of fear.
With a trembling voice, she said, "How do I know you're not lying to me! How do I know you'll really help me?"
Seeing this weak woman still trying to hold on and daring to question her, Huo's mother found Jian Yunong utterly ridiculous. "You can choose not to believe me. What loss is there for me? I will have plenty of opportunities to send women to Huo Jincheng in the future. As for you, your aunt may never return."
The sound of Little Fatty crying came from inside the room.
Jian Yunong immediately panicked.
Mother Huo continued, "Look at your little Cousin. Don't you feel guilty? For your so-called love, you abandoned your aunt, making him lose his mother and leaving your husband childless for life. You have deprived your grandmother, who has always cared for you, of the joy of family."
Mother Huo walked out; she had other matters to attend to and didn't want to waste too much time on Jian Yunong.
A dry and powerless voice came from behind her.
"I promise you!"
However, Mother Huo merely paused slightly, gave the lawyer a glance, and without looking back said, "Let my lawyer handle the rest."
She opened the door, and outside was a gloomy sky.
Mother Huo complained impatiently, "Wasting so much of my time on such trivial matters."
Trivial matters?
Jian Yunong smiled bitterly. To someone like Mother Huo, who was like a money-making machine, these significant life decisions were nothing but trivial.
The lawyer approached Jian Yunong with documents laid out in front of her.
"You don't need to explain so much to me. I have no share in the property division, and I don't need any compensation from her. This marriage has given me memories that money cannot buy."
"Are you sure?" the lawyer confirmed, "That's quite a sum of money. You can listen to what I have to say."
"No need. Don't use money to tarnish..."
Jian Yunong felt like crying a little, slightly closing her eyes to suppress the uncomfortable emotions. When she spoke again, her expression was blank. "I only have one condition: she has to help me rescue my aunt."
After signing all the documents, Jian Yunong didn't look back. "Let's go. I'm waiting for your good news."
Once the lawyer left, the servants finally came out of the room.
"I'll hold him."
Jian Yunong took Little Fatty in her arms. "Baby, don't cry. Your mom will be back soon. Can you be a little man for me?"
The little one seemed to understand, smiling at Jian Yunong and holding onto her index finger.
Jian Yunong's broken heart melted again.
She wanted to smile, but tears unknowingly fell down her cheeks.
...
Jian Yunong received a photo of Mist Shenshen sent by Mother Huo's lawyer; she was still alive, just in a very sorry state.
Although Mother Huo was strict, she kept her word.
Huo Jincheng did not come back that night, saying he had something to do with Xu Yizhi.
“Daughter-in-law, wait for me to come back.”
“Okay.”
On the phone, Huo Jincheng said this to her.
“Be careful.”
“Sure. Don’t worry. Keep Little Fatty from your aunt’s house from running around.”
“Alright.”
Jian Yunong was very obedient.
Hearing Huo Jincheng's breathing on the phone, Jian Yunong felt an urge to cry. When a person cries, their breathing gets out of rhythm.
Huo Jincheng noticed it keenly.
“What’s wrong? Are you crying?” Huo Jincheng felt that Daughter-in-law must be imagining something terrible, and his gentle voice comforted her, “You have to believe that I will be fine. It’s not as scary as you think.”
“Mm. Huo Jincheng... I love you…”
There was silence on the other end for three seconds.
"I love you too."
Huo Jincheng's voice was deliberately lowered, probably because there were people nearby and he didn't want to be overheard.
"Be good, Nong Nong."
The call ended. Huo Jincheng turned to Xu Yizhi with a disdainful look. "Isn't that cheesy?"
"Get lost!"
Huo Jincheng smiled.
I'm sweet, and I like it!
"Heh heh."
Xu Yizhi responded with a mocking laugh.
At that moment, the phone rang.
After hearing something from the other end, Xu Yizhi's expression changed.
"I'll be back soon."
The car almost immediately turned around.
Huo Jincheng, with a dark expression, asked, "What's wrong?"
"That bastard found Bai Ru."
"..." Huo Jincheng really didn't want to waste time on this nonsense. "Pull over!"
"I want to go back."
"I don't have time!"
Huo Jincheng's voice was grim. "Whether Bai Ru is divorced or not has nothing to do with me. Right now, saving lives is the priority."
Xu Yizhi, sitting beside him, stopped the car. "Yes, Jian Yunong is important to you; her family means everything to you. But Bai Ru is the same for me! Didn't you see what that bastard did to Bai Ru?"
Huo Jincheng pushed the door open and got out of the car, not wanting to waste time arguing with Xu Yizhi.
"Huo Liangchen may not be likable. I've known him since childhood. But he isn't disgusting enough to try to harm me. He isn't that stupid to use a woman to get back at me; wouldn't that disgust him too? Whether he hits women or not, my words might not be convincing. I suggest you take Bai Ru to the hospital and check those injuries. If they are real, then divorce her if necessary, file a lawsuit if needed. Our Huo Family won't cover up such disgraceful matters. But Bai Ru refuses; she doesn't want to do any of that. I don't know the reason behind it. You won't believe me even if I tell you. I hope you can think rationally."
Xu Yizhi repeated his stance, "This is my only chance. Whether she orchestrated it or not, I can't miss this opportunity."
There was no common ground between them.
Xu Yizhi drove away.
Huo Jincheng immediately called his assistant.
Huo Jincheng had been gone for quite a while.
Jian Yunong couldn't reach him and didn't dare to keep calling, fearing it would distract him.
Grandma Huo returned from the island and asked Jian Yunong to come back to the old house for dinner.
Jian Yunong brought Little Fatty along.
Little Fatty instantly became the favorite little cutie of the Huo Family.
"This child is really adorable."
Huo Nanny smiled and teased Little Fatty, "I thought this was a surprise from you and Huo Jincheng. But thinking about it seriously, that's impossible. I was just on vacation on the island for a while; how could you suddenly have such a big chubby boy?"
Jian Yunong felt a pang in her heart and could only force a smile, saying that he was her aunt's child.
"That's wonderful."
Grandma Huo sighed and tentatively asked Jian Yunong, "Don't you plan to have children with Huo Jincheng soon? Once you have a child, you won't have to worry. I'm still healthy, and we can find someone to help take care of you."
"Yes, I understand, Grandma."
How could she express that she couldn't have children?
Jian Yunong had been staying at the old house for two days.
On the third day, she went out to buy something for Little Fatty.
While wandering around the mall, Jian Yunong felt that strange sensation of being watched again.
She quickly finished her shopping and planned to leave.
Carrying her things, she hurried to the car.
"Drive," she said. "Old Zhang."
Jian Yunong organized her items, feeling a bit more at ease.
The car started.
Jian Yunong casually glanced over and realized that the person in the driver's seat was not the driver, Old Zhang.
It was a stranger.
"Who are you? How did you get here?"
Jian Yunong confirmed that she had not gotten into the wrong car.
"Miss Jian. Our sir requests your presence," the driver said, looking straight ahead, his tone cold, like a robot.
"Are you looking for your sir?"
Jian Yunong's mind inexplicably flashed with the face of that man.
Was it the face she saw that day in the bathroom, with damp, shoulder-length hair and a pair of cold eyes?
Jian Yunong immediately took out her phone.
The other party said something that made Jian Yunong give up struggling.
"Miss Jian. Your phone currently has no signal," the driver reminded her. "And don't try to call for help. Because there are our cars all around. Moreover, jumping out of the car is not wise. Your cousin is still waiting for you to come home, isn't he?"
Jian Yunong's expression changed dramatically.
This person knew a lot about her situation!
