After five years of marriage, I treated my wife with utmost care, only to discover her abortion slip in the closet.
She actively brought me to a friend's gathering, which turned out to be...
"With such good acting skills, don't you ever consider becoming an actor?"
The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Xie Huanyu spoke up indignantly,
"Xu Yanshu, what do you mean by that?"
He hasn't even confronted her yet, and he's already making sarcastic remarks? Or is he upset that she fired that assistant, so he's deliberately picking a fight?
Lu Huai naturally knew that these words were directed at him, but because Xie Huanyu was nearby, he couldn't directly lash out, so he could only pretend to be aggrieved and lower his head.
Xu Yanshu took in Lu Huai's changing expression through the rearview mirror and sneered inwardly. How interesting.
If he hadn't seen this person's true colors, he might have really thought that Lu Huai was some innocent and virtuous young man. No wonder Xie Huanyu was so easily fooled by him.
Seeing that the person remained silent, Xie Huanyu pressed on indignantly, asking again.
"I'm asking you, what do you mean?"
The car came to a smooth stop in front of the Lan Yue Pavilion. Xu Yanshu reminded him in a deep voice,
"arrive!"
"Yu Bao, let's go, don't keep President An waiting too long!" Lu Huai opened the car door and got out, then spoke up to remind him.
Xie Huanyu nodded subconsciously, and before getting out of the car, she glared fiercely at Xu Yanshu, planning to make him explain himself when she got back.
hehe--
Watching the two people walk into Lan Yue Pavilion, Xu Yanshu chuckled cryptically, his narrow eyes filled with sarcasm.
The next second, he slammed his fist hard on the steering wheel, the veins on the back of his smooth hand standing out.
She treats him like a servant, summoning him at will and dismissing him at will. She has never considered him a human being, so she frequently insults him and is now even affecting the people around him.
He figured he could only avoid her if he couldn't afford to offend her. Now he just wanted to end it all as soon as possible, even if it meant leaving with nothing. But she just wouldn't agree to a divorce.
It seems that this marriage has truly become a means for Xie Huanyu to torment him...
Feeling a tightness in his chest, Xu Yanshu inexplicably didn't want to go home. It had been a few days since he had visited the old lady, so he turned the steering wheel and headed straight for the nursing home.
When he came in, his grandmother was looking through a photo album with Aunt Xu.
"Look at this little girl, she's so pretty and kind-hearted, that's why I always say my son is very lucky!"
"Yes, I've always thought these two young people are a perfect match. They look like a golden couple standing together!"
Seeing that his grandmother's complexion and spirits were noticeably better than before, Xu Yanshu finally felt a little comforted. He walked forward slowly and carefully.
"Grandma, what are you looking at?"
"You're back from your business trip so soon?" Seeing the visitor, the old lady's face lit up with even more joy. She then replied unhurriedly, "A few days ago, Xiao Yu brought her camera and we took many photos together."
"The photos were just developed and sent over yesterday, take a look!"
Xu Yanshu was stunned. Xie Huanyu seemed to have said something like that before. He thought it was just to appease his grandmother, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually remember to keep the promise.
After regaining his senses, he looked down at the photo album tucked into his arms. Xie Huanyu was sitting affectionately next to the old man, a heartwarming scene.
In every frame, Xie Huanyu is all smiles, and for a moment, Xu Yanshu is lost in thought, unconsciously recalling the scene when he first met Xie Huanyu...
If life were only as beautiful as the first time we met, when he first got married, he thought he was the luckiest person in the world, able to marry the woman who made his heart flutter at first sight.
Noticing her grandson's fascinated gaze, the old lady chuckled and teased, "Look at him, he's completely mesmerized!"
He is not...
Xu Yanshu coughed awkwardly twice, handed the photo album back to her grandmother, and turned to look at Aunt Xu beside her.
"You go and rest first, I'll talk to Grandma for a while!"
"Okay, sure!" Aunt Xu readily agreed and then turned and left the room.
Seeing that his grandmother was flipping through the photo album with great interest again, Xu Yanshu suddenly didn't know how to start the conversation.
Given his grandmother's current favoritism towards Xie Huanyu, she definitely wouldn't accept the idea of divorce, but he also didn't want to drag things out with Xie Huanyu like this...
"Grandma, I..."
"Yan Shu, you are truly blessed to have married such a wonderful girl as Huan Yu."
Taking off her reading glasses, the old lady said earnestly, "Just because he's so busy with work but still comes to see this old woman every few days, you should cherish him."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yanshu's gaze grew increasingly complex. He was very grateful for Xie Huanyu's kindness and filial piety towards his grandmother, but this could not eliminate the problem that stood between the two of them.
If he really wants his grandmother to support his divorce, then he must explain the background and consequences of the matter clearly.
At that time, Xie Huanyu's beautiful image in his heart will surely collapse completely, and he is not sure if the old man can withstand such a big blow.
"Xiao Yu'er also promised to give me a great-grandson. Originally, I felt that I was too old to care about anything, but after he said that, I really want to live a few more years."
Seeing the obvious expectation in his grandmother's eyes, Xu Yanshu felt a surge of emotions. He held the old woman's hand and said with gratitude,
"Yes, if you really want to hold your great-grandchild, you must live to be a hundred!"
I don't understand why Xie Huanyu would agree to such an unrealistic thing, but then I thought that it might be a good thing to give my grandmother more expectations.
"Don't just try to make this old woman happy with your words. You can come here occasionally, that's enough."
The old man was overjoyed by these words, but he gave Xu Yanshu a reproachful glare and said, "You still need to hurry back to be with your wife so that I can hold my great-grandson soon."
"Grandma, no rush, let me talk to you for a while first..."
The old lady waved her hand, "Go, go, go back quickly!"
Xu Yanshu was both amused and exasperated. He got up and left the room, gave Aunt Xu some instructions, and then went to the doctor's office.
"The elderly person's condition has indeed improved, but because of their age, we dare not use medication extensively,"
"And if you can maintain a cheerful mood, your physical health will also be much better."
It seems I can't easily bring up the idea of divorce with my grandmother.
Xu Yanshu secretly considered that no matter how much he wanted a divorce, it was not as important as his grandmother's status.
After asking the doctor some other questions and precautions, he turned and left the office.
Xu Yanshu had just gotten into the car when he received a call from Xie Junyang.
"Dad, I..."
"No matter where you are right now, please come back immediately!"
