BXBX NOVEL Chapter 166 - 167 It's Him Who Should Compensate You_1
But the urge to kiss her was so strong that he couldn’t suppress it.
Especially when she said things that upset him, he was completely out of control.
So it wasn’t his fault, it was all because Hai Xiaotang shouldn’t have provoked him!
But as it turned out, he had provoked her.
However, it wasn’t up to her to decide whether or not he was allowed in.
Seemingly reminiscing about something, Dongfang Yu couldn’t help but reveal a triumphantly smug smile.
Walking furiously into the living room, Hai Xiaotang saw her grandfather leaning against the sofa, thumping his chest with discomfort.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?!” Hai Xiaotang rushed over in a panic to check on him.
Hai Zhiyuan waved her off, smiling. “It’s nothing, I guess I’m a bit tired and feeling a bit uncomfortable.”
“Where doesn’t it feel right? We should go to the hospital for a check-up!”
“No need. Grandpa is very healthy, don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Still anxious, Hai Xiaotang asked, “Are you really okay?”
“I am fine, I have been sleeping and eating well and exercising every day. There’s nothing wrong with me. But you, are you okay?” Hai Zhiyuan looked at her swollen lips and chuckled helplessly.
Hai Xiaotang was surprised, “Me? What could be wrong with me?”
The elder didn’t respond directly, changing the subject with, “Even though you’ve divorced Ayu, he genuinely cares for you. Go to school and register tomorrow.”
Hai Xiaotang sat down in frustration, “Grandpa, I don’t want to accept his kindness.”
“Why not?” the elder was puzzled.
Hai Xiaotang answered truthfully, “1 initiated the divorce. I don’t want any attachment to him. If 1 want to cut ties completely, then 1 must not develop a fondness for anything he offers. Besides, it’s not that I can’t afford to go to school; why should 1 accept his offer? It’s like I’d be beholden to him and remain in his debt.”
Hai Zhiyuan nodded in approval, “My Xiaotang has always been decisive and resolute, which makes me very proud. However, 1 still hope you accept his offer.”
“Grandpa, after all I’ve said, why do you still want me to accept?”
“Because it’s what he owes you.”
Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, “Why?”
“If you’re not asking for any alimony, then accept his offer. In this way, he won’t owe you anything.”
“But he doesn’t owe me anything to begin with…”
Hai Zhiyuan frowned, “What do you mean, nothing ? My beloved granddaughter loved him for seven years, wasting her feelings and youth, of course he should compensate you! If you don’t go to school, then grandpa will make him give you half of his wealth!”
Hai Xiaotang was startled, “Grandpa, are you kidding?”
Hai Zhiyuan’s expression was serious, “I’m not joking. If he can’t guarantee your future, asking for half of his wealth wouldn’t hurt. Whether you want to fend for yourself, or live off his wealth without a care in the world for the rest of your life – you decide.”
Of course, Hai Xiaotang chose the former, “Grandpa, even if I don’t accept his offer, I can still fend for myself.”
“You may not care whether he owes you, but grandpa does. In short, you choose one of the two, otherwise grandpa won’t let this drop!” the elder said firmly.
Throughout his life, Hai Zhiyuan had fought and struggled in the battlefield and military.
Even now, a sense of deadly aura is embedded within his bones.
He wasn’t a frail and incompetent old man.
Just because he didn’t express much about Hai Xiaotang’s divorce, didn’t mean he was prepared to let Dongfang Yu off the hook..
