With their elders in good health, their eldest son excelling academically and being well-mannered, Huo Yingjun and his wife had no worries.

Huo Yingjun is currently in the prime of his career and cannot afford to rest for even a moment.

This time, however, Huo Yingjun is not going to Ukraine, but to serve as the ambassador to Moscow, Russia.

Huo Yingjie led his team to establish a special materials research and development group for aircraft carriers, responsible for overcoming various special materials used on aircraft carriers.

The task is arduous, but extremely important.

He Tiantian participated in another Olympic Games, won another gold medal, and retired as a legend of an era.

After her busy life calmed down, He Tiantian felt a little lost. Fortunately, the swimming club was already built, so whenever she wanted to swim, she could invite a few of her girlfriends to come and swim together. There were even retired athletes who hadn't been assigned good jobs, so He Tiantian asked some of her former colleagues to come and teach swimming, and the income was quite good.

Huo Jian does indeed have swimming talent, and he works very hard, having already begun preparing for the World Junior Championships.

With his aunt He Tiantian around, Huo Jian thrived in the swimming team.

He Tiantian's cultivation was also progressing slowly and systematically.

She doesn't deliberately change her appearance; letting nature take its course is also a form of self-cultivation.

However, just as the Huo family's life was getting better and better, Song Chunli, who was far away in Nanhu Province accompanying her husband while he was working in his post, ran home crying.

Old Mrs. Huo was quite elderly, and seeing her daughter-in-law crying like this, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. She quickly asked, "Chunli, what's wrong? What happened?"

Jiang Lifang received a call from the nanny and rushed over.

Over the years, the two sisters-in-law had gotten along very well. When they suddenly heard that Song Chunli had come back crying, they couldn't just stay at home and had to come over to see her.

"Mom, Zhegan is so old, how could he keep a little vixen outside?" Song Chunli choked up, her eyes red, somewhat incredulous, but she had seen it with her own eyes and couldn't help but believe it.

She wanted to make a scene, but she was afraid of tarnishing the Huo family's reputation. After all, the Huo family was no ordinary family now. Her brother-in-law was the prime minister, her son was an ambassador, and even her scoundrel husband was a high-ranking official.

If she throws a tantrum and cries, she'll become a laughingstock.

So after communicating with her husband repeatedly and seeing no sign of repentance, she gave up arguing with him and went straight back to Yanjing.

She can't handle Huo Zhegan; she still has her in-laws at home!

Upon hearing Song Chunli's words, both Old Madam Huo and Jiang Lifang could hardly believe that Huo Zhegan, who had always been upright, could have affairs with other women.

It should be noted that Huo Zhegan is already 633 years old this year, and he will retire after serving only one more term at most.

"No way, Zhegan, he didn't do anything reckless when he was young. Now that his grandson is an adult, he's actually looking for women outside?" Old Madam Huo clearly didn't believe that her son could do such a scandalous thing. She believed that her son was upright.

Jiang Lifang didn't believe it either and asked, "Sister-in-law, I saw it with my own eyes?"

“Yes,” Song Chunli said. “I noticed a woman’s scent on his clothes before, and then I saw him go to a luxury residential area. I asked Xiao Lin, who works for me, to investigate, and they found out that the woman was Huo Zhegan’s mistress. When I questioned him, he initially tried to deny it, but once I told him the location and the woman’s name, he became completely unfazed and admitted it outright. I told him to break up with that woman, because he’s getting old, and wasting so much energy would shorten his lifespan. But he wouldn’t listen. I said I would tell his parents, and he actually said he wanted a divorce!”

"No way?" Jiang Lifang was startled. "Divorce? What's the point of mentioning divorce in a family like ours? Especially since you've been married for decades, and your son and grandson are all grown up. If you divorce, wouldn't people laugh at you?"

Does Huo Zhegan disregard the Huo family's reputation and intend to bring shame upon them?

This isn't Huo Zhe's style at all!

“Yes, I didn’t believe it at first, but Zhegan is like he’s possessed. Even when we argued before, he never looked at me like that.” Song Chunli choked up. “Mom, you should talk to Dad about Zhegan.”

Jiang Lifang comforted Song Chunli, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't be sad. You've worked so hard for the Huo family all these years, you've done your part even if you haven't made any great contributions. Your parents-in-law will definitely stand up for you."

When Grandpa Huo returned from his walk, he heard his second daughter-in-law's words and asked with a smile, "Chunli, don't cry. What happened? Tell me."

Song Chunli recounted what had happened to Huo Zhegan again.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Huo flew into a rage and immediately cursed, "You scoundrel!"

This eldest daughter-in-law may have had some shortcomings in her work, but compared to other eldest daughters-in-law, she was already considered quite good. She devoted her life to her husband and children, and that scoundrel divorced her with just a word—it's utter nonsense.

If Huo Zhegan were in front of him, Old Master Huo would definitely give him a good beating.

“Chunli, don’t cry,” said Old Master Huang. “He can’t make the decision about this marriage. Unless, he’s no longer a member of the Huo family.”

Hearing her parents-in-law say this, Song Chunli finally felt a little relieved.

"Should we also tell the handsome guy in Russia?" asked Madam Huo, looking at Song Chunli and Grandpa Huo.

Song Chunli quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't tell Yingjun. We can handle everything here in China. Yingjun works abroad, which puts a lot of pressure on him, and he's very careful and can't afford to make any mistakes. Even if Huo Zhegan divorces me, I still have my son. My son and grandson will be fine. I can see that clearly."

If my son finds out the news, he won't be back for a while, and I'll just be anxious.

That damned man doesn't care about his son, but she does.

Hearing his eldest daughter-in-law's words, both Old Madam Huo and Old Master Huo were very satisfied.

It seems that Song Chunli has indeed made a lot of progress over the years, being able to consider the overall situation. Unlike when she was younger, she doesn't shout and scream at the slightest thing.

"Good, it's good that you care about your son and consider the bigger picture," said Madam Huo. "You can stay in Yanjing and rest at home. Take good care of Ruixiang and don't be sad. Your father and I will handle this matter and give you an explanation."

Old Master Huo was furious. None of the younger generation in the family had even strayed, yet his eldest son, over sixty years old, was keeping a mistress. Such a fine family tradition had been ruined; the Huo family was not far from destruction.

"Yes, get some rest," said Old Master Huo. After his eldest daughter-in-law went upstairs, he went to his study to call his eldest son.

Grandpa Huo was very angry because no one answered the phone.

When Jiang Lifang got home that evening, she told her husband, son, and daughter-in-law about the matter concerning the eldest son's wife.
