Zhu Dong fell silent upon hearing Guo Tao's words.

They started working with Huo Beixiao in the black market.

Now that the policies are getting better and better, they are making more and more money by doing legitimate business.

The brothers can openly spend money and live a good life.

But then this happened.

Just when they were at their wits' end, Yang Qiaoqiao called.

Zhu Dong could only remind Guo Tao again not to act rashly, and then hurry to pick up Yang Qiaoqiao.

Yang Qiaoqiao sat in the back seat of the car, thinking that after this incident, she would definitely get her driver's license and buy a car.

Otherwise, traveling would be too inconvenient.

Looking at Yang Qiaoqiao sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror, Zhu Dong felt a mix of emotions.

Ever since the cement factory and shopping mall had one accident after another, the young woman, heavily pregnant, had been working tirelessly for Boss Huo.

No wonder their Boss Huo usually spoils his wife so much. Such a good woman is absolutely worthy of Boss Huo's pampering.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. There must be a culprit behind what happened at the mall. The truth will come out sooner or later."

"Even if those people have extraordinary abilities, they won't be able to frame our Boss Huo." Zhu Dong comforted Yang Qiaoqiao.

"Okay." Yang Qiaoqiao responded, "Brother Zhu Dong, during this time, I'll have to trouble you and Brother Tao to keep a close eye on the electronics store and the cement factory. We absolutely can't let anything else happen."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we know everything." Zhu Dong gritted his teeth with hatred as he mentioned this. "If those bastards dare to make another move, I'll definitely kill them!"

When Yang Qiaoqiao was preparing the divorce agreement, she had already thought of what to say.

But when she finally arrived at the gate of the provincial public security bureau and was about to go in to see Huo Beixiao, her legs felt like they were filled with lead, and every step she took was extremely heavy.

Zhu Dong was originally in a hurry to go back and take care of the cement factory. He had agreed to take Yang Qiaoqiao to the police station and then go back.

But seeing Yang Qiaoqiao's condition, he quickly got into the car and caught up with her, saying, "Sister-in-law, how about I take you inside?"

Yang Qiaoqiao originally wanted to refuse.

But he swallowed the words back and nodded, saying, "Okay, Brother Zhu Dong, thank you."

Huo Beixiao followed the police out of the detention center and saw Yang Qiaoqiao and Zhu Dong arrive together.

His deep gaze darkened slightly.

Has something happened again?

Otherwise, my wife and Zhu Dong wouldn't have come together.

Having followed Huo Beixiao for so many years, Zhu Dong could guess some of Huo Beixiao's thoughts from his expressions.

He quickly said, "Brother Huo, it's because your wife missed you and wanted to come see you. I was worried that something might happen to her if she came alone, so I came with her."

Huo Beixiao looked at Yang Qiaoqiao with eyes full of heartache and guilt, "Wife, I'm sorry..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yang Qiaoqiao pushed the divorce agreement in front of him, "You don't need to say anything, just sign it."

“I’ve already inquired. As long as you sign, the staff from the Civil Affairs Bureau will come here to help us process the divorce certificate.”

As soon as Yang Qiaoqiao finished speaking, Huo Beixiao was probably stunned for the first time in his life.

Zhu Dong, standing next to her, also looked at Yang Qiaoqiao with disbelief, "No, sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

You made a special trip to the provincial capital just for…

"Yes, I came here to divorce him!" Yang Qiaoqiao said decisively before Zhu Dong could finish speaking.

She stroked her belly, looking at Huo Beixiao with a resolute expression, "Huo Beixiao, you can't escape this time."

I don't want my child to be born with a father like you, a former convict.

Do you know how miserable my child's life will be if he has a father who is a former convict? When they go to school, their classmates will look down on them, mock them, and even bully them because of you.

“Rather than having a father like you, a former convict, I’d rather they were born without a father.”

Yang Qiaoqiao spoke emotionally, reciting the lines she had silently rehearsed a thousand times on her way here.

She had thought that after so many rehearsals, she would be able to deliver these words without batting an eye.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said the words, tears still streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks.

Huo Beixiao's expression shifted from astonishment and shock to guilt and self-blame to dejection.

When he finally saw Yang Qiaoqiao's tears, his eyes filled with indescribable heartache. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll sign. Don't cry, it's not good for the baby..."

He spoke the last few words so softly they were almost inaudible.

It's unclear whether he was advising Yang Qiaoqiao or himself.

Looking at that person's appearance, Yang Qiaoqiao felt as if her heart was being cut with a dull knife, the pain making it hard to breathe.

It wasn't until Huo Beixiao signed the divorce agreement and handed it to her that she understood.

He looked at her with tender eyes and said, "Wife..."

He uttered only one word of the familiar address before swallowing it back.

She changed her tune and said, "Qiaoqiao, since you've already found out the process, I won't ask anymore. I'll cooperate with you on whatever else you need to do."

When you get back, remember to take good care of yourself and the children. Don't cry.

Yang Qiaoqiao: ...

She had already managed to hold back her tears.

Upon hearing Huo Beixiao's words, her emotions surged, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Huo Beixiao couldn't have direct contact with her. Seeing her like this, he couldn't even care about the pain of the divorce; he was only concerned with feeling sorry for her.

But he couldn't hug him or comfort him at that moment.

A grown man, suddenly became so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

When Zhu Dong learned that Yang Qiaoqiao had come to divorce Huo Beixiao, he initially had some reservations about her.

He had even cursed her in his heart just now, saying that prostitutes are heartless and actresses are ungrateful, even though he had been calling her "little sister-in-law" on the way here.

I think she's a good woman, and it's not too much for Boss Huo to dote on her.

I never expected her to be such a heartless woman; she came to divorce him as soon as Huo got into trouble.

But seeing Yang Qiaoqiao crying so sadly now, he felt that he might have really misunderstood her.

As a mother, it's perfectly normal to think about the baby in your womb.

Moreover, the child in her belly is also Huo Laoda's child.

Let alone Yang Qiaoqiao as a mother and Huo Laoda as a father, even he himself doesn't want to see his nephew or niece looked down upon by other children at school because of what Huo Laoda did this time.

The police officers standing nearby saw Yang Qiaoqiao crying uncontrollably and were worried that if she continued to cry like this, it would affect the baby in her womb and cause some trouble in their police station.

Therefore, he quickly ended his visit to Yang Qiaoqiao ahead of schedule.

When Huo Beixiao was in front of her, Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't control her emotions.

However, after leaving the meeting room and not seeing Huo Beixiao, Yang Qiaoqiao's emotions quickly stabilized.

She took the divorce agreement signed by Huo Beixiao and went to the Public Security Bureau and the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for the divorce.
