Three days later.
"The divorce application report is ready, let's go get the divorce certificate!" Huo Jian'an looked at Ye Zhaoyu, who looked radiant after only three days apart.
Shouldn't this person be crestfallen, with red and swollen eyes from crying, making all sorts of excuses to delay getting a divorce?
She looks even prettier than she did three days ago.
“Okay.” Ye Zhaoyu picked up her backpack and followed Huo Jianan to process the divorce.
"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Huo Jianan asked Ye Zhaoyu.
"I wish you happiness after the divorce, and a house full of children and grandchildren," Ye Zhaoyu said.
She must have said those words with a heavy heart. Huo Jian'an was secretly delighted. Ignoring Ye Zhaoyu's radiant face, he happily said, "I will. If you can't find a suitable man, you can come to me. I'll introduce you to good men. After all, I have quite a few single men under my command. I'll definitely find you the best one."
Ye Zhaoyu twitched her lips, feeling quite speechless. Did she need her ex-husband to introduce her to men?
The divorce went very smoothly without any problems.
Huo Jianan was a little uncomfortable, but Ye Zhaoyu handled the process with a smile throughout, without showing any reluctance.
"I've troubled you a lot these past five years. I wish you happiness in the future," Ye Zhaoyu sincerely wished.
"Yes, I will. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me." Huo Jian'an looked at Ye Zhaoyu, whose face showed no sadness or reluctance.
He doesn't believe it; he'll probably only be heartbroken when he gets back to the guesthouse.
"No need. Exes should be like they're dead. Don't keep popping up. It's not only scary, but it also makes people who like you uncomfortable," Ye Zhaoyu refused.
Huo Jianan was incredulous when he heard Ye Zhaoyu's words. "How can I not use her? You have no relatives left in this world, and I am your only relative in this world. If you don't contact me, who else can you contact?"
"Who cares about you? You're my only family. My dad's still alive, my grandma's still alive. You don't need to worry about me." Ye Zhaoyu refused. Why did this person insist on taking responsibility for her after the divorce?
“They ignore you, and even though you’re divorced, you can still be my sister, and I’ll still take care of you. After all, you used to like me so much. It’s just that I don’t like you back, but I have a responsibility to you. I’ll take good care of you until you find someone else,” Huo Jian’an said, patting Ye Zhaoyu’s head to comfort her.
"No, if you're sick, go see a doctor, don't bother me! Are you out of your mind? Who told you I like you? Where did you get the idea that I like you? You're crazy." Ye Zhaoyu brushed away the hand that was patting her head and looked at Huo Jian'an with disgust.
This man is delusional; when did she ever fall for him?
"How could you scold me? I'm just concerned about you. You're all alone in this world. What if someone bullies you? How about I rent you a place? I'll visit you regularly so that people know you have family and won't bully you." Huo Jian'an said to himself, already making arrangements.
"No need, thank you for your kindness, but the best arrangement is for you to stay away from me." Ye Zhaoyu realized that this person couldn't understand human language at all, so she didn't want to pay any more attention to him. Once things were settled, she would leave this place and return to the capital, and there would be no further contact between them. Let him think what he wants.
After finishing her sentence, Ye Zhaoyu turned and left to go to the police station to handle the household registration transfer, ignoring Huo Jian'an.
Seeing Ye Zhaoyu walk away, Huo Jian'an wanted to chase after her to ask where she was going, but then he remembered that she was still staying at the guesthouse, so he decided to go and rent a house for her first.
From now on, she can no longer live in the family compound, but can live in the county. He can visit her often when he has time, as a way of repaying Aunt Ye's life-saving grace.
Ye Zhaoyu bought some fruit and went to the hospital to visit Grandpa Huo, preparing to say goodbye to him.
For the past five years, Grandpa Huo has treated her like his own granddaughter, giving her pocket money every month, not letting anyone bully her, and speaking up for her when someone speaks ill of her.
Both out of courtesy and reason, it is appropriate to say goodbye before leaving.
Ye Zhaoyu arrived at the hospital carrying fruit; Li Yaping and Lin Miaoyin were also there.
"Grandpa Huo, I've come to see you." Ye Zhaoyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that only Grandpa Huo was in the ward.
It's good that I don't have to see any other members of the Huo family.
"Xiaoyu's here! How did it go? Did you get the divorce certificate?" When Old Master Huo saw Ye Zhaoyu coming over, he quickly told her to come closer.
"Grandpa Huo, it's all taken care of. I'm planning to return to the capital in a couple of days, so I came to see you today," Ye Zhaoyu explained.
When she got married, her household registration was not transferred here and remained in Beijing, as was her house. Now, all she needs is a letter of introduction to go back.
"It's good that you're divorced. Grandpa wants to take you in as his granddaughter. What do you think?" Old Master Huo asked softly, holding Ye Zhaoyu's hand.
"Grandpa Huo, this is unacceptable. After all, I am a divorced former granddaughter-in-law. If people say that I am clinging to the Huo family, it will not sound good. Grandpa Huo certainly doesn't want me to get involved in such rumors!" Ye Zhaoyu immediately refused when she heard that Grandpa Huo wanted to take her as his granddaughter.
What a joke! Mom said that if you're going to cut ties, you should cut them off completely, and ideally have no connection whatsoever afterward.
Including the man's entire family, the world is so big, it's quite easy to never meet in your entire life.
"Alright then, Xiaoyu, you'll come to see Grandpa again when you have time, right?" Grandpa Huo knew he was putting Ye Zhaoyu in a difficult position, but he really couldn't bear to part with her.
For the past five years, no one wanted to spend time with this old man except for Ye Zhaoyu.
"I'll try my best, but I'm preparing to return to the capital. I'll come if I have time," Ye Zhaoyu reassured her.
"Alright, I'm also preparing to return to the capital. You must come to visit me often then." Old Master Huo held Ye Zhaoyu's hand, extremely reluctant to part with her.
