Chapter 243 I Really Like You
Actually, when Huo Xinran was going through a divorce, Li Chao's family did not disagree. After all, after Huo Xinran married into the family, Li Chao's family found that no one cared about her at all. Her biological father did not care about her, and the Huo family did not care about her either. She did not even have a dowry.
That's fine. If Huo Xinran had a child and was hardworking, that would be good. But Huo Xinran not only couldn't get pregnant, but she was also very lazy and didn't do any work. She acted like a lord, and if anyone said anything to her, she would hit them directly.
Li Chao and his mother-in-law did hit her, but Huo Xinran would hit them back, and they argued constantly every day.
In the end, Li Chao compromised and agreed to divorce Huo Xinran if she returned all the betrothal gifts.
But Huo Xinran refused.
She had no money at all, and her biological parents would never give her any, so she refused outright. But instead of returning the money, she threatened to file for divorce.
Li Chao felt cheated, so the two continued to argue fiercely.
So if we really get involved in this matter, there will be a lot of complicated issues.
It's not certain; we might even have to help Huo Xinran pay off her betrothal gifts, which is absolutely unacceptable.
So Huo Chenzhou said, "We have other things to do. If you want to discuss this, then go back and discuss it. She got married of her own free will. We were not involved and do not understand the details, so it is no use for us to come to you."
In any case, Huo Chenzhou's meaning was very clear: he would not get involved in this matter. What Huo Xinran and Cai Wenhua did was their own business.
Huo Xinran knew that there was no point in continuing to argue, as Huo Chenzhou was utterly heartless towards her, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll go back."
Cai Wenhua kicked Huo Xinran, hoping she would continue to beg Huo Chenzhou. Huo Xinran's first marriage looked complicated, and what if she couldn't get a divorce without someone's help? Besides, Huo Chenzhou was powerful and influential; if he were willing to help Huo Xinran, things would definitely go much more smoothly.
With such a useful person right in front of her, why didn't Huo Xinran realize she should make the most of it?
Huo Xinran said, "Brother, if I have any questions when I get divorced, can I ask you?"
Huo Chenzhou hummed in agreement.
Although he wouldn't get involved in this matter, it's wrong for a man to commit domestic violence in a marriage. If Huo Xinran encounters any questions during the divorce, he's willing to help her answer them. After all, he wouldn't ignore a stranger asking him.
After Huo Xinran heard Huo Chenzhou agree, she smiled and went out. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would be exposed, and Cai Wenhua would realize that her relationship with Huo Chenzhou was very bad.
He left so quickly, turning back every few steps. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had a crush on Huo Chenzhou.
Cai Wenhua actually had a lot more to say to Huo Chenzhou. He hoped that Huo Chenzhou could see his talent and give him some pointers. He could gain a lot from just one word from Huo Chenzhou.
As a result, he only talked about the divorce with Huo Xinran today. Who cares about the details of her divorce? If it weren't for wanting to leave a good impression on Huo Chenzhou, he wouldn't bother dealing with Huo Xinran.
A married woman is not good enough for him at all. If she weren't Huo Chenzhou's biological sister, she would be worthless.
After the two left and made sure the Huo family wouldn't hear them, Cai Wenhua said with a gloomy expression, "Xinran, didn't you say Commander Huo would arrange accommodations for you? Why did you come out like this? Aren't you going to stay with them?"
Huo Xinran said, "There's no rush. My sister-in-law doesn't like me, and my brother also has some issues with me, right? You know, my brother only listens to his wife, there's nothing we can do about it."
Cai Wenhua had also heard that Commander Huo was henpecked and dared not refuse his wife, so Huo Xinran's words were credible, and he remained silent.
Huo Xinran said, "It's okay, I'll stay with you tonight."
Cai Wenhua frowned: "You want to live with me?"
"What does it matter? Don't you have two rooms? I'll just stay in the other room."
Huo Xinran is becoming increasingly indifferent to her reputation, mainly because she doesn't really have one. Ever since her marriage fell apart, she seems to have had an epiphany and doesn't care about anything anymore. It doesn't matter if the Huo family doesn't provide her with accommodation; Cai Wenhua will definitely make sure she has a place to stay.
Cai Wenhua didn't quite like her behavior, but he still said, "Whatever."
Anyway, if Huo Xinran is going to live with him, it will damage Huo Xinran's reputation, but it has nothing to do with him.
Huo Xinran then went back with Cai Wenhua.
On the way, Cai Wenhua's face was very ugly: "Xinran, I heard that your husband is not someone to be trifled with. It won't be so easy for you to get a divorce. He might even want you to give him money before he will agree to the divorce. So you should ask Commander Huo for help. Say nice things to him and he will help you resolve this matter completely. Then you won't have to worry about it."
“Anyway, your husband’s family has no power or influence. If Commander Huo could help you resolve this matter, wouldn’t it be much easier? Why don’t you talk to him more about it?”
Huo Xinran certainly hoped that Huo Chenzhou could help her, but the problem was that Huo Chenzhou and she didn't get along well, so it wasn't that easy. In fact, she also realized that the reason why Cai Wenhua was willing to marry her was because of Huo Chenzhou.
However, she wasn't disappointed. She had long known that her value lay in being Huo Chenzhou's sister, and this identity was quite useful. Therefore, she would continue to use this identity and absolutely not let anyone else know that she was no longer recognized by the Huo family.
After all, Huo Chenzhou is so useful, so of course she has to stick close to him.
Huo Xinran smiled smugly: "I'm his sister. If he doesn't help me, who will he help? My sister-in-law doesn't want him to get involved in my affairs, which is why he said those things in front of her. But if something really happens to me, he will definitely help."
She glanced at Cai Wenhua and said, word by word, "We grew up together and have a great relationship. Didn't I ask him today? He hinted that he would take care of me in the future, so what are you worrying about?"
Cai Wenhua was persuaded by Huo Xinran: "If Commander Huo would take care of this matter, that would be really great."
“He’ll take care of everything, you don’t need to worry,” Huo Xinran said confidently.
Seeing Huo Xinran's confident demeanor, Cai Wenhua began to imagine the future. If he ever needed Commander Huo's help in the future, Commander Huo would surely lend a hand since he was her brother-in-law.
A smile finally appeared on his face: "Xinran, although we've only known each other for a day, I really like you."
