Chapter 544 What nonsense are you spouting!
"You!" Qiao Hong's face turned fierce, and he clenched his fists, ready to attack Cao Yun.
Cao Yun wasn't afraid of him at all. She raised her chin, took two steps forward, and said defiantly, "What, you want to fight? Come on, if you have the guts, kill me! Only if I die by your hand today will you, Qiao Hong, be considered a man in my heart!"
Qiao Hong's face flushed red. Despite his anger, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.
First, he really didn't dare. Second, Cao Yun had already done such a thing; if he really laid a hand on her, he probably wouldn't have a peaceful day for the rest of his life.
Qiao Hong ground his teeth together, "What exactly do you want to do! What good will it do you to destroy me!"
When Cao Yun saw that he had withdrawn his hand, he felt disgusted.
That's just how he is; even though she's made a scene, he still doesn't dare do anything to her.
He was afraid things would escalate, and that he would really lose his job and his reputation.
She turned her head and continued tidying up the vegetables in her hands. "I didn't want any benefits. This is all your own doing, and you deserve to suffer the consequences."
"you!"
Qiao Hong gritted her teeth in anger, spun around twice, and finally couldn't take it anymore, saying, "Divorce! I can't live like this for another day!"
Cao Yun said without even looking up, "You may want to, but why should I agree to a divorce? Qiao Hong, do you think I'm happy to live like this? Let me tell you, we're like this now, and even if we can't make it work, you'll still have to!"
Why should she get a divorce? Although she hasn't lived a life of great wealth and luxury since marrying Qiao Hong, she has maintained this family bit by bit over the years.
Over the past few years, she has served Qiao Hong and raised their two children, swallowing all the grievances, heartache, and pain she has endured.
The moment she learned of Qiao Hong's infidelity, she knew her marriage was over.
However, she won't get a divorce so easily.
All the suffering she endured must be made to make Qiao Hong pay the price.
Cao Yun sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want to divorce me so you can legitimately tell everyone that you didn't cheat on me, continue to maintain your hypocritical image at the company, and then happily be with that little bitch? You're dreaming! As long as I'm in this house, don't even think about getting a divorce!"
Qiao Hong was consumed by rage, unsure whether to hit him or scold him, and nearly couldn't catch his breath.
He stared at Cao Yun and suddenly realized that this woman was not the Cao Yun he knew at all.
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, but Cao Yun is far more formidable than a rabbit.
Qiao Hong felt uneasy, unsure of what Cao Yun might do next. "What exactly do you want for me to agree to a divorce?"
"Why should I get a divorce? It's you who did such a shameless thing. If you're happy to live with that little bitch, then go ahead. I'm not the one who feels guilty. I want to see how you'll face your son and daughter!"
"you!!"
Just as we were talking about the child, we heard a noise at the door.
Qiao Ying sensed the awkward atmosphere between the two as soon as she entered the room.
She glanced at the vegetables scattered on the ground, frowned, and asked, "What are you doing now?"
The moment Qiao Hong saw his daughter, perhaps influenced by Cao Yun's words, a guilty feeling flashed through his mind, and he avoided looking at her.
His tone was somewhat unnatural, "Why did Yingying suddenly come back?"
Qiao Ying tossed her bag onto the sofa. "It's the weekend today. Mom called me home for dinner."
Qiao Hong frowned and glanced at Cao Yun.
Qiao Ying rarely came back after she went to university, except for long holidays.
He had just gotten into trouble at the company, and she immediately called Qiao Ying back. It can't be that simple.
Cao Yun didn't even glance at Qiao Hong, and said to Qiao Ying, "Wash your hands first, the food will be ready soon."
The food was served, but Qiao Hong had no appetite. His eyes kept glancing at Cao Yun, as if he was afraid she would say something to Qiao Ying.
Cao Yun prepared four dishes, but Qiao Ying picked at them with her chopsticks, looking disgusted, and said, "Can't our family even afford meat for one meal now? It's all vegetables, how are we supposed to eat this?"
Qiao Hong took a closer look and, sure enough, it was either spinach or cauliflower; there wasn't a trace of meat in it.
His expression changed, and he was about to say something when he heard Cao Yun say, "Your dad has spent a lot of money this month. I only have a few hundred yuan on me. Next month we still have to pay this and that fee. Your school fees are also expensive. If we don't save money, how will our family survive?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ying slammed her chopsticks on the table and immediately became unhappy. "When I asked you for money last month, you said you didn't have any. Now we're so poor we can't even afford meat. Where did you spend all that money?"
Where did the flowers go?
Cao Yun looked at Qiao Hong and sneered inwardly.
Of course, the money was spent on that little bitch.
Qiao Hong opened his mouth again and again. Of course, he didn't dare to tell Qiao Ying the truth. He could only say awkwardly, "Yingying, Dad has had some trouble at the company recently. All the money has been spent on projects. Can you please understand Dad?"
Cao Yun asked directly, "What project? You're not a major shareholder of the company, why are you spending this money? Don't tell me it's being spent on something inappropriate."
Qiao Hong felt a pang of guilt and blurted out, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
"I haven't said anything yet, what are you being so guilty about?" Cao Yun glared at him. "If you're so capable, tell the child exactly where you spent the money."
"Cao Yun, don't go too far!" Qiao Hong finally stood up, unable to bear it any longer. "Do you really have to say these things in front of the child?"
Cao Yun also stood up and said sarcastically, "Stop pretending to be a loving father. If you cared about your child at all, you wouldn't have done such a disgusting thing!"
Qiao Ying had no idea what the two were arguing about, but the sound of their voices only annoyed her. "Alright! What's there to argue about!"
Qiao Hong was afraid that Qiao Ying would find out about his affairs, so he tried to explain something, but before he could even speak, Qiao Ying said impatiently, "I still have to pay next month. I don't care where your money went, you have to give me my money!"
"Yingying!"
Qiao Ying picked up her bag and left without looking back.
Qiao Hong was furious and glared at Cao Yun, demanding, "What exactly do you want to do?!"
Cao Yun sat down, his expression returning to its usual calm and collected state.
"It's very simple. I'll make sure you can't stay in the company, in this home, or even in the entire city of Chongqing any longer."
Qiao Hong listened to her words and realized that she had completely broken off relations with him.
He gritted his teeth, his tone now filled with ferocity, "Fine! You just wait!"
He slammed the door shut and left.
That voice exploded in Cao Yun's heart like a thunderclap.
Her tense body relaxed instantly, and her heart was filled with sorrow.
