Yuan Hua did not return to the living room from the balcony until Zhu Zhitao's car left.

After putting Xiaoxiao to sleep, Yuan's father stood up and asked softly, "Xiaohua, do we really have to go down the path of divorce?"

In Yuan's father's heart, since they already had a child, it was better not to get a divorce. He just wanted Zhu Zhitao to change his ways and for Zhu Zhitao's parents to become better people.

Yuan Hua listened to her father's words and gently shook her head, saying, "Actually, Zhu Zhitao knows everything in his heart, he just doesn't want to change. He feels sad now because he feels guilty towards me and the children, but even if I forgive him once, his parents won't change and will continue to act this way. In that case, our marriage will always be filled with such arguments. Rather than that, it's better to separate now, it's better for both of us, at least we haven't completely fallen out and there's still some affection between us."

Upon hearing his daughter mention Zhu Zhitao's parents, Yuan's father fell silent.

After a long while, Yuan's father slowly said, "Everyone says that highly educated people are cultured, but I feel that Zhu Zhitao's parents are just like Er Laizi's family in our village! They want to get all the good things without putting in any effort."

"Hmph, who knows?" Yuan Hua said. Originally, she had also been attracted to Zhu Zhitao's scholarly family background, thinking that people from such families would have depth and refinement. Now she realized she was wrong.

Yuan Hua was determined to get a divorce.

“Sigh, you’ve always been headstrong since you were little. If you want a divorce, then get a divorce,” Yuan’s father said. “I live in your house. After your in-laws came over, they treated me like a beggar and took all my things away. When I tried to take Xiaoxiao with me, they made sarcastic remarks. So I went for a walk outside, but I didn’t expect them to mistreat Xiaoxiao like this. It’s my fault for not fulfilling my responsibilities and for making Xiaoxiao suffer.”

“No one expected them to be so sexist.” Yuan Hua smiled bitterly. “Well, I’ve made all the preparations. After the divorce, Zhu Zhitao will just be Xiaoxiao’s father, and everyone else will be irrelevant. We can live a good life together and take good care of Xiaoxiao.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. Just think it through,” said Yuan’s father. “Although I’m not very knowledgeable, I think it’s better to live a happy life than to live a life of misery.”

"Thank you, Dad," Yuan Hua said gratefully. No matter what happened outside, at least she still had her father's support, Sister Tian Tian, ​​her good girlfriends, and her career!

After returning home, Zhu Zhitao locked himself in his room and drank heavily.

The next morning, I met with Yuan Hua's lawyer, Li Jing, at a teahouse outside to discuss the matter.

"Mr. Zhu, what are your requirements?" Li Jing asked, taking out his notebook.

Zhu Zhitao thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any demands. I just want to say that I don't want the house or the family savings. Consider it a small alimony payment. As for my car, I'll keep it."

Li Jing was stunned. That was a huge sum of money, and a house was also very valuable.

"Mr. Zhu, are you sure?" Li Jing asked, somewhat incredulous. "Are you sure you don't want the savings, you don't want the house?"

“No,” Zhu Zhitao said. “I’m not a good husband, nor a good father. Now that we’re divorced, I don’t want Yuanhua’s money. After all, it was all earned by Yuanhua, and I feel ashamed to accept it.”

“Okay, I’ll write it down first. I’ll communicate with my client as soon as possible and then give you an answer,” Li Jing said, carefully writing it down in his notebook.

"Okay, then," Zhu Zhitao said in a low voice. "I have to go to work, so I'll leave now."

When Zhu Zhitao arrived at the sports center, He Tiantian was training diligently and didn't interact with him much.

Because of Yuan Hua's matter, Zhu Zhitao didn't dare to say much in front of He Tiantian.

Actually, he wanted to ask He Tiantian for help to persuade Yuan Hua, but if He Tiantian knew what his parents had done, she would probably agree to Yuan Hua's divorce and might even be unwilling to be his teammate.

If He Tiantian were to request a change of coach, the other coaches on the team would be vying to become her coach.

Zhu Zhitao knew Yuan Hua's temper; he wouldn't turn back.

She was a resolute woman.

Since his marriage has already come to this, he can only focus on his career and avoid making any inappropriate moves in his professional life.

Otherwise, he would be a complete failure.

Li Jing found Yuan Hua and told him about Zhu Zhitao's request.

"He doesn't want a house? He doesn't want savings either?" Yuan Hua asked doubtfully. Then Zhu Zhitao would have nowhere to live, and the coach's salary might not be enough to cover his expenses.

“Yes, he doesn’t want it,” Li Jing said. “What about you?”

“He has a salary and doesn’t need savings, so he can make a living. But he doesn’t want a house. Where will he live?” Yuan Hua frowned. “I agree not to give him any property, but I will give him a house with three bedrooms and a living room. At least that will ensure his livelihood.”

Li Jing was taken aback by Yuan Hua's words, then smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen a divorced couple like you, not fighting over property, but being so considerate of each other. Sigh, if possible, it's best not to get divorced."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hua smiled bitterly and said, "Without love, there's not much so-called family affection either, which is why I want a divorce. I don't want my daughter to live in other people's disgust, nor do I want to live in petty arguments."

"Hehe, since that's the case, as an old friend, I won't try to persuade you," Li Jing said. "So, what do you plan to do?"

Yuan Hua thought for a moment and said, "Please put my house in Dihua Community under Zhu Zhitao's name in the contract. After all, he is the father of Xiao Xiao. We divorced because we had no feelings for each other and because of the friction in our lives. So I hope he is doing well. Don't tell him. When we go through the divorce procedures, I will personally give him the keys."

"Is it necessary to do this?" Li Jing asked rhetorically. As a top lawyer, he had always helped others fight for their interests, and this was the first time he had ever pushed those interests outward.

“It’s necessary,” Yuan Hua said. “The little girl’s idol is her father, and I hope that her father can always be her idol, not a down-on-his-luck person. At the same time, as you have seen, he doesn’t want my property, which shows that he is a good person.”

Li Jing was somewhat lost in thought, then nodded and said, "Actually, you are a good woman. He didn't cherish you properly, and neither did his family."

Yuan Hua smiled bitterly and sighed, "Time changes everything, and everything will pass. As for whether to cherish it or not, that's just a matter of human nature. Human nature is insatiable, which is why people dream of swallowing an elephant."

Li Jing nodded and said, "Alright, I'll redo the agreement as you suggested."

"Okay, how long will this take?" Yuan Hua asked.

"I'll get it done tomorrow, you can take a look," Li Jing said. "Is that alright?"

"Can we finish this afternoon?" Yuan Hua asked. "I want to get this over with quickly and decisively. I don't want to delay any longer. My current condition is seriously affecting me, keeping me up at night. I want to end this as soon as possible."
