Huo Beian immediately pulled a Shanghai-brand harmonica from his pocket as if by magic and handed it to her.
"Wife, this is the harmonica I promised to give you."
Song Ning took the harmonica and was immediately surprised. When they were making dumplings that day, she thought he was just saying it casually, but she didn't expect him to actually buy it.
This harmonica isn't cheap either, it costs 30 yuan.
Just as she was about to say something, Huo Beian took out another silver ring and handed it to her.
"Honey, we got married in a rush and didn't even buy an engagement ring. This is for you."
"this……"
Song Ning, holding a harmonica in her left hand and a silver ring in her right, was momentarily taken aback.
Don't agree to his request!
A man's magnetic and powerful voice came from afar.
Song Ning turned her head and realized that it was actually Gu Tingzhou.
"Brother Tingzhou, what brings you here?"
Gu Tingzhou, with his tall and straight posture, strode over to this side, grabbed Song Ning's arm, and pulled her to his side.
"I was worried about you, so I came to check on you. I've searched all over Nancheng these past two days. Song Ning, don't agree to him, come with me!"
"I……"
Song Ning glanced at Gu Tingzhou, then at Huo Beian, and felt a little awkward.
Huo Beian's eyes darkened, and he immediately stepped forward, grabbed Song Ning's arm, and pulled her over.
"Wife, I am your husband, you can't go with him."
"Song Ning, divorce him. I support you." Gu Tingzhou made up his mind.
"Ha! Huo Beian, you're clinging to Song Ning, refusing to divorce her or treat her well. What exactly do you want? If you can't give her happiness, I advise you to let go sooner rather than later!" Gu Tingzhou retorted defiantly.
"We just had a misunderstanding. I can make her happy! Anyway, I will not agree to a divorce!"
After saying that, Huo Beian immediately hugged Song Ning tightly and leaned down to kiss her lips forcefully.
Upon seeing this, Gu Tingzhou clenched his fists.
Song Ning quickly pushed him away.
This guy kissed her in front of Gu Tingzhou, clearly trying to provoke him!
"Alright, stop arguing! Brother Tingzhou, I have something to say to you."
Song Ning gestured to him, and the two of them walked to the side alone.
“Brother Tingzhou, I know you mean well. But if he doesn’t commit any serious wrongdoing and doesn’t agree to the divorce, I can’t get a divorce. Don’t worry about me, or you can go back first.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingzhou frowned, grabbed her arm, and shook it forcefully, saying, "Song Ning, do you mean you still want to be with him? I'll help you get a divorce if you want to?"
"How can I help? Maybe he'll agree to a divorce when he gets tired of me. Actually, he's a pretty good person... Besides, he apologized to me..."
Song Ning didn't continue speaking. To be honest, she actually quite liked Huo Beian.
"But what about his family? After such a messy situation, are they able to face it calmly?"
"There are actually no problems in our relationship. I also have my shortcomings. As long as we reach an agreement on how to handle family relationships, we can get along."
Song Ning didn't want to keep Gu Tingzhou hanging, so she decided to just make things clear.
Hearing this, Gu Tingzhou sighed deeply, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"Okay, I understand. So you're saying you can't get a divorce right now, and you don't want to get one, right?"
Song Ning remained silent, which indicated her agreement.
Gu Tingzhou released his grip on her arm weakly. "Fine. Song Ning, since that's the case, I respect your decision..."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Every step he took was heavy, filled with heartache.
So this is what it feels like to fall in love with someone you shouldn't...
He felt that his wishful thinking was a joke...
Song Ning watched Gu Tingzhou's departing figure, feeling a pang of heartache.
I'm sorry, Tingzhou, you deserve a better woman...
Huo Beian clenched his fists as he watched Gu Tingzhou leave.
Fortunately, his wife didn't go with him.
This shows that the wife still cares about her...
At this moment, Huo Zhengang and the others heard that Song Ning had returned, so they all rushed over.
"Daughter-in-law, you're finally back."
Huo Zhengang led Li Yun and Huo Chunmei into the courtyard.
Song Ning looked at them without saying a word.
It was Huo Chunmei who spoke first, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong... I'll take whatever you want to hit or scold me. Please, don't divorce my brother."
Li Yun echoed, "Daughter-in-law, we have no demands, we just want you and Bei'an to live a good life together. We won't hold you back any longer, we'll be heading back to our hometown soon."
After saying that, Li Yun took out an emerald ring from her pocket and handed it to Song Ning.
“Daughter-in-law, this is an ancestral ring passed down through generations of the Huo family, from the wives of the eldest sons and grandsons. Today I am giving it to you. From now on, you are the rightful daughter-in-law of the Huo family, and no one can bully you.”
Song Ning looked down at the emerald and exclaimed inwardly, "Wow, this emerald is an antique! In the modern antique market, it would probably be worth tens of millions."
But she still declined, saying, "Auntie, this is yours, I can't accept it..."
"No. If you don't accept it, it means you still haven't forgiven us."
"Yes, daughter-in-law, you should accept it."
After Huo Zhengang finished speaking, he also took out an envelope from his pocket. "Daughter-in-law, we are going back to Nancheng tomorrow. This is money for you, as a token of our sincere apology."
"this……"
Song Ning didn't take it, but judging by its thickness, it must have cost at least 1,000 yuan.
Emma, who would turn down money?
This elderly couple actually went all out this time...
It seems like he's genuinely apologizing...
Huo Beian also came over, his voice gentle, "Wife, just take them. These were originally yours. I hope you can forgive us."
Looking at the gifts, Song Ning suddenly felt the saying, "He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to feed another."
After all, who would turn down money?
Moreover, although she is not short of money now and can live without a man, in this special era, with a storm brewing, she needs a powerful backer, and the Huo family can clearly be her support. She can also use this background to do what she wants to do.
After all, divorce is just the most basic approach. The most advanced approach is to use marriage to maximize one's self-worth and have the confidence to leave gracefully at any time.
Why not give Huo Beian another chance? After all, they haven't consummated their marriage and don't have children yet. If things really get unbearable, they can just get a divorce.
"Okay. Then let's not get a divorce for now."
Song Ning had no choice but to nod.
Huo Zhengang and Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Fortunately, we didn't delay our son's destiny.
The daughter-in-law finally changed her mind.
"Bei'an, you two should live your lives well. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we should go back."
"Okay, Mom and Dad, drive carefully. I'll have the guard take you to the station."
As a result, the moment he turned around, Huo Zhengang suddenly went black and collapsed to the ground.
