Actually, everyone thinks the same way: Lu Jiangang doesn't agree to a divorce because he wants someone to take care of him. After all, Lu Jiangang was so heartless before, it's hard to see what feelings he still has for He Hongxia.

But He Hongxia was self-aware. She and Lu Jiangang had long been sleeping in separate beds and were more like strangers than strangers. There was no affection between them. She knew Lu Jiangang well and knew that he was just trying to save face.

He Hongxia arranged to meet Lu Jiangang and talked with him for over an hour. No one knows how they talked, but Lu Jiangang relented and agreed to a divorce. The process was very peaceful. The two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign the divorce agreement and complete the formalities, thus parting ways completely.

But to everyone's surprise, the apartment was still rented out. Lu Jiangang rented a one-bedroom apartment himself, and not long after, a woman in her forties appeared with him. The two held hands when they went out, and were very affectionate, not like they had just met.

Lu Qinghua came to visit again. As soon as he entered, he angrily gulped down a large glass of water and began to complain, "That vixen is the widow of my dad's workplace. She's been having an affair with my dad for five or six years. My dad hasn't lived at home all these years; he's been living at this old vixen's house. It's infuriating!"

"Isn't your dad the most concerned about his image? How could he be so bold? Isn't he afraid of his workplace finding out?" Ye Qingqing was also surprised, never expecting that the seemingly respectable Lu Jiangang would have such a problem with his personal conduct.

Hmph, he acts so proper all the time, but he's up to no good in private. He's a real scoundrel.

Lu Qingquan completely inherited his father's hypocrisy.

Lu Qinghua sneered, "He's a hypocrite, allowing himself to do whatever he wants while forbidding others to do the same. He's indulging in his own pleasures, but won't let me get a divorce, and expects me to be a dutiful wife. Duti my ass..."

She swallowed the rest of her swear words, feeling a little embarrassed. Sometimes when work was too hard, she would swear to relieve stress, but she still felt quite awkward in front of Ye Qingqing and Lin Shufang.

"Oh, right, my mom also gave me the property deed and told me to change the name on it. She said she's already convinced my dad and he'll sign it when the time comes."

Lu Qinghua's words surprised Ye Qingqing even more. How could He Hongxia, who was so stingy, be willing to leave the house to Lu Qinghua?

And why would Lu Jiangang agree?

He is even more selfish than He Hongxia.

"I don't know either. My mom gave me the property certificate yesterday and said she had already talked to the tenants and that the rent would be deposited into my account. The house would then belong to me. I can't believe it. My parents are usually so stingy. How could they suddenly be so generous?" Lu Qinghua herself found it unbelievable.

Back then, when she was struggling so much, neither Lu Jiangang nor He Hongxia would help her. Now that she's doing better, her parents are suddenly being generous. It just feels strange.

“Just take it. Maybe your brother died and they had a change of heart. Besides, you’re their only daughter, and they’ll have to rely on you for their old age. If they don’t give it to you, who else can they give it to?” Ye Qingqing thought for a moment and then advised, “Don’t go to work these next few days. Hurry up and change your name so your parents won’t regret it.”

“Qingqing is right. It’s better to change the name sooner rather than later. With a house, you and Yinyin will have a home. Your parents still have some conscience this time. When they get old, you’ll have to take care of them, Qinghua. After all, they are your parents. They even left the house to you. You have to remember their kindness,” Lin Shufang advised.

Lu Qinghua nodded, "I know. I won't abandon them because of this house."
