Chapter 273 Divorce
After it was over, Mo Jihua left directly, but he felt somewhat despondent. He had never anticipated that their relationship would devolve to such a state.
Besides, he had no ill intentions; he simply couldn't control the feelings he had for her.
It's all Lin Yi's fault!
If it weren't for Lin Yi's appearance, how could their situation have turned out like this?
Mo Jihua placed all the blame squarely on Lin Yi's shoulders.
Moreover, if not for Lin Yi and the child, they wouldn't have gotten to the point where they couldn't even speak to each other.
Director Zhao left the auction feeling very pleased. He would wait patiently for Lin Yi to introduce him to beautiful women.
By then, he reckoned he would be tired of Han Xuemei anyway.
It's just that he had already promised Han Xuemei he would deal with Lin Yi—yet now the latter was his good brother.
If he betrayed him after crossing the river, he wouldn't get the beauties.
Right on his way home, he suddenly received a call from his wife.
"What is it? Speak quickly if there's something; I have a very important meeting to attend."
When facing his own wife, Director Zhao seemed extremely impatient.
The two had been married for some years now, and their child was already several years old.
But the more he looked at his wife at home, the more he felt displeased. How had he ever fallen for this woman?
"The child is being discharged from the hospital today and you're not coming?"
"It's because the company's matters are just too numerous; I got so busy I forgot. Besides, if I don't earn money, who will support you and the kid? Just bring the child home. If there's nothing else, don't call me again. The company has a lot of things to handle, and I don't have the time to waste on you."
At first, it was all fine, but when Wang Guixiang heard the word "waste," she couldn't hold back any longer.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
They used to be so loving, and she had even given birth to a son for him. Logically, life should only be getting better.
Why was her husband always leaving early and returning late? Or even not coming home at night at all?
"Zhao Guangchen! How can you treat me like this? Have I been bad to you? When you had no money, I stayed by your side. I even married you. I've cut off relationships with my own family for you and your money, yet this is how you repay me.
Do you think I don't know about the things you're doing outside? I've been turning a blind eye, trying to provide a nice living environment for our child. But you? If this is how you're going to be, then don't blame me for being heartless. Let's get a divorce!"
Director Zhao hadn't expected his wife to suddenly explode and say so much.
But truth be told, he had been wanting to divorce this woman for a long time.
He had plenty of women outside, each more beautiful and younger than her. Why should he expend all his energy on this woman?
A divorce suited him just fine—it was exactly what he wanted.
"Those are your words, not mine. I think I've been more than fair to you. However, I must have custody of the child. Of course, if you object to that, you can talk to my lawyer. Since you've decided on a divorce, we'll no longer be husband and wife in the future, so you have no need to contact me further. I'm hanging up now."
After speaking, Zhao Guangchen immediately hung up the phone. Once the call was ended, he felt a burden had been lifted. Wasn't this just fantastic?
At last, he had gotten rid of that woman. Now, he was off to find his goddess—Han Xuemei was probably waiting for him at home.
How wonderful it was to be so successful and to have such a large company. Why should he have to look at a woman's face?
Zhao Guangchen had long forgotten how Wang Guixiang had been with him from the start, helping him to build his business from nothing.
She worked tirelessly by his side, even without asking for any compensation.
Han Xuemei was getting restless in the villa, but she had nowhere else she could go. Moreover, she had to rely on Director Zhao.
After returning to the small villa he shared with Han Xuemei, Director Zhao was even happier and shared the news with her.
"Let me tell you, I've finally gotten rid of that stinking woman. All these years, I've been generous to her and given her so much money. She should be content. Now, I can be with you properly. Are you happy, baby?"
But after hearing this, Han Xuemei wasn't the least bit thrilled.
Her smile froze on her face.
What was going on? Why had this despicable man divorced his wife?
He wasn't thinking of marrying her, was he?
No way, she was in the prime of her life!
Even though she had already given her body to him, she intended to marry a wealthy and handsome man! How could she possibly marry an old man?
Han Xuemei's mind was racing. How could she rid herself of this man and get past this situation?
"Of course, I'm happy, hubby. From now on, it will just be the two of us together, with no that stinking woman in the way. And will you go public with our relationship?"
With that last sentence, Han Xuemei was testing Director Zhao. If he was just playing with her, she would make good use of the relationship.
But if Director Zhao truly had her in his heart and intended to marry her, Han Xuemei would have to think hard about how she could escape him.
When Director Zhao heard the words "go public with our relationship," his face stiffened for a moment.
He hadn't had enough fun yet, and he guessed that he would soon grow tired of this woman as well.
Furthermore, Lin Yi had mentioned introducing him to even more beautiful women, so he definitely wasn't going to waste too much time on Han Xuemei.
"Baby, if we go public with our relationship now, you're bound to be the target of so many rumors. My wife and I are just preparing for a divorce, we're still legally married. If we disclose our relationship at this moment, just think what people would say about you. So, let's wait a bit longer, okay? Rest assured, since you are with me, I will definitely give you a proper status.
You're different from the others."
Director Zhao was saying this only to pacify Han Xuemei's feelings.
If this woman started to make a fuss, he would be left with a gap in his affairs.
He was a man who despised having a gap in companionship. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire
"I knew hubby is the best, always considering things for me. Are you particularly tired today? Let me give you a massage!"
Han Xuemei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Great, it seemed Director Zhao didn't have that intention with her.
She would not have to marry an old man; she just needed to make good use of this relationship.
Lin Yi went to pick up Han Xuewei from work, making the school students green with envy.
