BXBX NOVEL Chapter 115 - 115: Divorce
Meanwhile, in the He household, He Hong entered his house with a dark expression on his face.
Zhao Yun immediately ran up to sweetly greet him, “Brother-In-Law, you’re back.”
He Hong stopped and stared blankly at the shy Zhao Yun.
The fire in his heart rose once more.
“Pack your things immediately and get lost!”
“…” Zhao Yun was stunned.
“Brother-In-Law?”
“Don’t make me throw you out.” He Hong said coldly.
“But Brother-In-Law, I’m already yours.” As Zhao Yun spoke, she looked at Zhao Huan who was walking over in a daze, and immediately pounced on her. “Sister, Sister, I’m already brother-in-law’s woman. Sister-”
Zhao Huan looked down at Zhao Yun.
Tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks.
Although she was not her biological sister, she treated her cousin very well.
She called Zhao Yun over to seduce Heng Yi, but she didn’t want to invite a wolf into her house.
“Take care of yourself.”
He Hong was a good person, but he was not a fool.
Zhao Huan walked up to He Hong and said, “When Zhao Yun came over, 1 wanted her to seduce Heng Yi, but I didn’t want to shoot myself in the foot…”
He Hong suddenly widened his eyes.
For a moment, he had the urge to strangle Zhao Huan.
He never knew what it felt like to be whipped… But this… This was probably what it felt like.
“I was really blind.”
“Men, pack up Zhao Yun’s belongings and chase her out.”
“Brother-In-Law, Brother-In-Law…” Zhao Yun went forward and hugged He Hong’s leg as she knelt down. “Brother-in-law, I’m already yours.”
“So what? Do I have to be responsible for you? Besides, you shamelessly took off your clothes and shamelessly slept on my bed. Did I ask you to?”
“If you feel that you can’t live, then go to the government office and report me.”
He Hong kicked Zhao Yun away.
He suddenly felt very tired.
He returned to his study and wrote a divorce letter.
Just as he was about to give it to Zhao Huan, an old woman stumbled over. “Master, Master! Madam is going to hang herself!”
H ii
He Hong was stunned for a moment before he quickly ran over.
“Zhao Huan!”
Zhao Huan looked at He Hong who was running over and her tears kept falling.
She threw herself into He Hong’s arms and cried. “I don’t know why I became like this. I wasn’t like this before.”
He Hong was silent for a long while before saying, “Huan, a gentleman loves money and has a proper way to get it. It’s not wrong for you to love money, but you should never love other people’s money. I never say much about how you want to use the money that belongs to me, but you should not touch what doesn’t belong to us.”
“When people live in this world, they shouldn’t only keep their eyes set on money. They should focus on the other things around them as well.”
“The first time you lost your child, you told all the servants that I gave you the abortion medicine.”
“This time, you want to force me to die. Do you think 1 should endure it? Or do you want your family to pick you up?”
“…” Zhao Huan’s body stiffened.
She could not say a word.
“Or rather, would the Zhao family care about if you live or die?” After He Hong finished speaking, he wiped Zhao Huan’s tears.
“Huan, your life is yours. Whether you want to live or die, you decide.”
He Hong stood up and walked away.
Zhao Huan shouted sharply, “He Hong, you really can’t forgive me?”
He Hong stopped.
“Huan, love is not a dirty thing. It only takes one to ruin love. You’ve challenged my bottom line time and time again.”
He Hong turned once more to look at Zhuan Huan. “Huan, I don’t love you anymore. 1 take back all my love for you. I’ll leave Puyi County tomorrow. I’ll leave everything in this house to you, including the money. But 1 have to take Cheng’er with me. I don’t want him to become like you in the future. I don’t want him to grow up with eyes solely set on money and being selfish.”
He Hong left, this time, with no hesitation to his steps.
He returned to the study and wrote the divorce letter.
His love for her could no longer go on, and their fate together could no longer continue.
This house, the money, and the thirteen mu of land were all left to Zhao Huan. Since she loved money so much, he would leave everything to her.
He Hong thought for a moment and asked someone to pack all his books and send them to Heng Yi.
He thought that it would be useful to Heng Yi in the future.
By the time Zhao Huan arrived at the study, He Hong handed her the divorce certificate.
House Deed, Land Deed, and Silver Bill….
“Huan, you have to be wary of the Zhao family. Between you and money, in their eyes, they might choose money over you.”
“That’s all I have to say.”
Zhao Huan looked at He Hong with teary eyes. She then knelt and cried, “Are you really not going to give me another chance?”
“Not anymore.”
It took Zhao Huan quite a while to find her voice. “Alright, 1 understand.”
She slowly got up and walked towards her room.
Did she want to die?
She couldn’t bear to die.
Did she love her son? She loved him.
But she loved herself more.
She couldn’t choose her son and hand everything to He Hong, nor could she walk away from this house empty-handed.
At the end of the day, she was a selfish person who valued money as much as her life.
“Heh.” Zhao Huan laughed in grief and indignation.
Was she to blame? How could she be blamed for this?
She could only blame Heng Yi for showing that he treated money like dirt and making her believe that he really did.
To her, money had moved her just as it did to Heng Yi.
Heng Yi’s books were packed in boxes and carried out.
The old woman carried He Cheng over. “Master, the Young Master keeps crying. I can’t coax him no matter what.”
“What did Madam say?”
“Madam asked this servant to bring the child to Master. She didn’t care.”
He Hong took a deep breath and hugged the child.
He Cheng sobbed a few times, and called out to him softly, “Dad, I’m scared.”
“Don’t be afraid.”
He Hong coaxed the child.
He was completely disappointed in Zhao Huan.
He did not want to stay here for even a moment longer.
He ordered people to send all the books to Heng Manor.
He casually packed a few pieces of his and the child’s clothes and threw them into the carriage.
He went to the county office directly, just in case the Zhao Family or Zhao Huan went to the restaurant or Heng Family to find trouble with Heng Yi.
He had no money in his hands, but he still had some dignity in the government office. He Hong explained to the officers why he had come and why he had abandoned Zhao Huan. He did not elaborate on the reason, but he said that he had given Zhao Huan all his money, house, and land, and only took his son with him.
It still made the officers sigh.
Meanwhile, Heng Yi and Han Qiao had just returned home. Grandpa was still humming the opera tunes. He turned to Han Qiao and asked, “Ah-Qiao, are we still going tomorrow?”
“Grandpa, you and Grandma will go tomorrow.”
When Lady Lin’s health recovered, she would have the time to teach the three children how to read, write, and sew.
To improve their knowledge and aesthetics.
It was impossible for them to have the chance to go out and play every day.
They could join the grandparents once or twice a month at most.
Learning was never an easy thing.
Looking at the boxes of books, Heng Yi asked the male servant who brought the books.
“What happened?”
“My master divorced Madam Huan and gave her all his money, house, and land. He left with the Young Master.”
He left?
Where did he go?
Heng Yi was anxious, and so was Han Qiao.
He was penniless and with a child. What on earth was he thinking?
“Heng Yi, go and find him and bring him back..”
