Shen Nanxing always knew that if it weren't for that accident, Huo Yunting would never have married her.
It wasn't until their third wedding anniversary that she finally met the "...
Chapter 43 Tradition
"What's wrong, Yunting?" He Xiaowen, who was sitting next to him, tugged at his clothes and pleaded with a bit of embarrassment, "Please sit down. Grandpa and grandma are watching."
It was because his grandparents were watching that Ana Shen lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly into Huo Yunting's eyes.
She just wants to be a transparent person now.
As long as she gets the divorce agreement, she can leave Huo Yunting completely.
This is what everyone hopes for.
Huo Yunlan persuaded him, "Brother, it's only a matter of time before you divorce her, so you might as well get used to having Sister Xiaowen sitting next to you."
"Yunlan, don't say that, someone is listening." He Xiaowen jumped out to play the good guy.
"Mrs. Huo's position originally belonged to you. You just took back what belonged to you."
Their conversation entered Shen Nanxing's ears word for word. She lowered her head and ate her meal, hiding the sadness in her eyes very well.
She pretended to be indifferent and tried hard to control her emotions.
Mr. Huo's face darkened. "What do you mean by hers? As long as I'm around, Nanxing is the legitimate Mrs. Huo!"
He suddenly looked at Huo Yunting, his face pale with anger, "If you dare to divorce me, I will hang myself in front of you immediately!"
Huo Yunting raised his eyes and asked, "Who said we're getting a divorce?"
Ana Shen looked up suddenly, shock flashing in his eyes.
He walked over and sat down beside her. Shen Nanxing glanced at He Xiaowen, with anger in his eyes, but he still pretended to be harmless on his face.
"You are worthy of being my grandson!" Mr. Huo's expression finally softened a little.
Xia Menghua and her husband have never gotten along.
At this time, he couldn't help but speak up, "Since you're not getting a divorce, why are there so many rumors? Yun Ting, what are you thinking? Grandma is here, so you don't have to worry about the old man's face."
Deep down, Xia Menghua doesn't like Shen Nanxing.
She would rather marry the well-behaved and sensible He Xiaowen into the Huo family.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been invited to today's family dinner to disgust Ana Shen.
"Grandma, the divorce is just hype by some people with ulterior motives." As he said this, he shook Ana Shen's hand in front of everyone.
Shen Nanxing subconsciously tried to break free but he held her tighter.
Was he putting on a show for them by doing this?
She looked at Huo Yunting and saw that his eyes were filled with deep affection and doting. Such deep eyes seemed to make him unable to extricate himself.
It’s fake, really fake.
Who on earth is he trying to perform for?
It was He Xiaowen who said it herself last night. He was the one who condoned the divorce rumors that were flying around.
Ana Shen looked at him, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he pulled his hand back and wiped it with a towel.
She thinks it's dirty.
Huo Yunting noticed her little movements, but he didn't get angry.
Xia Menghua couldn't understand, and suddenly stopped chewing and looked at Shen Nanxing, "If that's the case, how could there be any empty talk? I think you should let go of your emotional discord as soon as possible."
The words were spoken to Shen Nanxing, and the pressure was exerted on Huo Yunting.
Ana Shen nodded frantically in his heart, it would be better to break up as soon as possible.
Xia Menghua added, "Xiao Wen, such a good child, has been waiting for you for so many years. Can't you see it?"
He Xiaowen felt wronged when she heard this, her voice choked with sobs, "Grandma, this is my own business, don't force Yun Ting. After all, Sister Nan Xing has nothing, Yun Ting is just taking extra care of her."
These words made Shen Nanxing feel sick.
It really proves the saying that the lowest people are invincible.
Xia Menghua became even more angry when she heard this, "Yun Ting, can't you see Xiao Wen's goodness?" Her cold eyes drifted to Ana Shen, "As for the others, they are so shameless."
He Xiaowen always had a proper smile on her face. "Grandma, you just recovered not long ago. Don't be angry."
Xia Menghua smiled and said, "Xiao Wen is really sensible. If I were Yun Ting, I would only marry you."
"Yes. Xiaowen is a good child."
"Grandpa!" He Xiaowen was flattered. Master Huo had never had a good impression of her. Whenever they met, no matter how hard she tried to please him, he would just respond indifferently. This was the first time in such a long time that he praised her.
He Xiaowen quickly picked up some food for him and said, "Grandpa, eating shrimp is good for your health."
"Auntie, take this and feed it to Dudu."
He Xiaowen's smile froze instantly. Dudu is a dog.
Mr. Huo: "I dare not eat the food given to me by someone with bad intentions."
Under the table, Master Huo patted Ana Shen’s hand, his eyes seemed to say, don’t worry, grandpa is here.
The Huo couple had always been at odds, so the person sitting next to Mr. Huo was Ana Shen.
Ana Shen smiled gratefully.
In the Huo family, if there is anyone who is truly kind to me, it must be Grandpa Huo.
He was like a ray of light, making up for her desire for family affection and allowing her to see the truth of marriage.
Ana Shen saw clearly that it seemed that they were protecting their beloved younger generations, but in fact they were competing with each other.
But no matter what, she was already very satisfied that her grandfather could speak for her.
They have been torturing each other for a lifetime, and are still at loggerheads even when they are old.
She couldn't imagine living like this with Huo Yunting...
It's simply worse than death.
Xia Menghua rolled her eyes. "What a vixen! She's taken the old man's soul away." "Have you said enough?"
Following the sound, I saw Mr. Huo's face was extremely gloomy after he suddenly exploded.
Ana Shen knew that her grandfather was worried about her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she didn't want to make things difficult for him.
So you should solve your own problems by yourself.
"actually……"
Ana Shen really wanted to tell Huo Yunting about his evil behavior of not signing the divorce agreement, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Huo Yunting took the lead.
"Grandma, have you forgotten the traditions of our Huo family?" There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in the cold voice.
Mr. Huo and Xia Menghua rarely looked at Huo Yunting together, their expressions suddenly becoming serious and pale.
That unwritten rule tormented them throughout their lives.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
Ana Shen looked around curiously, and it seemed that everyone had become quiet.
I'm not used to it all of a sudden.
Xia Menghua's face turned pale, and he put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full."
Mr. Huo's eyes also became dim, as if he was brewing something to say, but in the end he just said the same thing as before, "I'm full too."
This was the first time Ana Shen had seen such a situation.
"What tradition?" She looked at Huo Yunting and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Huo Yunting smiled bitterly and did not answer personally.
Isn’t this scene clear enough?
Naturally, it is a marriage tradition that can only result in the demise of one husband or one wife.
In the Huo family, there has never been such a thing as divorce.
It was like this in my grandfather's generation, it was like this in my father's generation, and now it's like this in my generation, and it will be no exception.
A happy marriage between a married couple is a luxury; torturing each other is life.
"Ask, ask, ask, what's there to ask!" Huo Yunlan threw down his chopsticks and walked away unhappily.
All that was left were the two ignorant enemies staring at each other.
