Chapter 427 She has no intention of returning to the Han family.
The couple got divorced after only a little over a month of marriage, which really worried Han's mother to death!
Seeing that Qi Mingxuan was determined, Han's mother offered a few words of comfort.
Qi Mingxuan didn't tell Han's mother about Han Mingyu and Lin Xiaoyue, but Han's mother could vaguely guess that Han Mingyu must have done something foolish.
After returning to Hanlou from the hospital, Han's mother waited until Qi Yue went upstairs to sleep before going back to her room to call Han Mingyu.
The phone rang several times before it was answered.
"Han Mingyu, you bastard! You get back here right now!"
On the other end of the phone, Han Mingyu, who hadn't been yelled at by his mother in a long time, held the phone further away and frowned, saying, "Keep your voice down, I'm not deaf."
"You're not deaf, but I think your brain is completely damaged!"
"Please let me know if you need anything."
"You want to divorce Xiaoxuan?"
Han Mingyu paused, "Qi Mingxuan went to you to complain?"
"I wish she would come to me to complain! Han Mingyu, you're thirty-six years old! Can't you give me a break? We've only been married for a little over a month and you've already driven your wife away! You've completely disgraced the Han family!"
“Qi Mingxuan is really something. She says she wants a divorce, but then she turns around and complains to you. Mom, don’t believe her. She’s just being dramatic and wants me to go along with her. She doesn’t really want a divorce.”
"I think you're the one I like!" Han's mother sighed. "Son, I'm a woman too. I think Xiaoxuan is really disappointed in you now. Tell me the truth, do you like her or not?"
"We only got married for Qi Yue's sake, what's the point of talking about liking or not liking each other!" Han Mingyu lit a cigarette. Although he said this casually, he felt a strange tightness in his chest.
"You really don't like her?" Han's mother asked seriously. "If you don't like her, then I won't interfere in your matter. Anyway, let me make this clear: I like Xiaoxuan quite a bit, but if she really can't live with you anymore and wants a divorce, I won't stop her. At worst, after you divorce, I'll adopt her as my goddaughter..."
"Mom, can you please stop getting involved?" Han Mingyu sighed. "This is a matter between my husband and me, we'll handle it ourselves."
"How are you going to solve this?" Han's mother sneered. "I'm asking you, where were you last night? What urgent matter made you, as a husband, leave your sick wife to take care of it?"
"Personal matters."
"You're talking about personal matters with me..." Han's mother paused, then her eyes widened suddenly: "Han Mingyu, don't tell me you're being foolish! You, are you hiding someone outside?"
Han Mingyu gritted his teeth: "Mom, is that what you think of me?"
"Of course I don't want my son to be such a scoundrel, but I think that given Xiaoxuan's personality, if you hadn't gone too far, she wouldn't have been so determined to get a divorce."
"You're hilarious!" Han Mingyu teased. "How long have you been her mother-in-law? How many times have you met her? You already know her?"
"Women understand women best!" Han's mother scolded, "Han Mingyu, I'm telling you right now, if you don't want a divorce, you'd better change your bad temper! Also, no matter where you are right now, get to the hospital right now to take care of Xiaoxuan!"
"I can't make it back in time." Han Mingyu calmly asked for his ticket: "I'm at the airport now, about to board the plane."
"Han Mingyu! What do you mean by this?!"
“There’s a problem with an overseas project, and I need to go there to handle it.”
"Don't give me that! Hasn't someone been in charge of the overseas projects all along? Your trip abroad now is clearly intentional! Let me tell you, if you dare to leave today..."
"Mom, we're boarding now, I'll talk to you later."
"Han Mingyu, wait a minute, hello, hello..."
The phone was busy.
Han Mingyu hung up the phone.
Han's mother was furious. When she called back, the call went to voicemail.
"Rebellious son!"
Han's mother clutched her chest and turned to look at Han's father, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
"Look at your son! His wife is in the hospital and he's still running abroad. No wonder Xiaoxuan wants a divorce!"
Mr. Han took off his reading glasses, put the newspaper aside, and looked up at his wife. “You’ve known his temper for a long time. Xiaoxuan is a good person, but they are both strong-willed and neither of them is willing to give in to the other. There will definitely be conflicts if they live together.”
"You mean your son is innocent?"
Mr. Han felt a chill run down his spine and quickly got up to walk to Mrs. Han's side. He put his arm around her shoulder and said with a smile, "I definitely didn't mean that. No matter what conflicts arise between husband and wife, the husband should be considerate of his wife, especially when she is sick and needs someone to take care of her. No matter how big the conflict is, the wife's health should be the priority. Mingyu really did a bad job in this regard. It's normal for Xiaoxuan to feel heartbroken and want a divorce."
"Hmph, this is the gene of your Han family!" The more Han's mother thought about it, the more upset she became. She pushed her husband aside and sat down on the sofa. "I've struggled with three sons all my life but never had a daughter. None of my three sons have ever given me a moment's peace!"
"Don't say such hurtful things. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Young people these days have their own ideas, and they may not necessarily agree with our older generation's views on marriage."
Mr. Han sat down next to Mrs. Han. “Our son is all grown up now, and we can’t control him anymore. No matter how good our daughter-in-law is, she’s still someone else’s child. If she really feels that she can’t live like this anymore, then we can’t force her to stay.”
Upon hearing this, Han's mother immediately deflated.
"What about Qi Yue? This child has finally reunited with his parents. If they really divorce, Qi Yue will become a child raised by a single parent again..."
"Many divorced couples nowadays co-parent their children. No matter what their relationship is like, Qi Yue will always be their child and also a descendant of the Han family. This will not change because of their divorce."
Mr. Han held his wife's hand and patted it gently. "Our Qi Yue is eight years old now. He's precocious. If you talk to him nicely, he'll understand."
Han's mother sighed heavily, "I just feel it's a pity. I really like Xiaoxuan, you see..."
Han's mother opened the photo album on her phone and handed it to Han's father.
Han's father looked closely.
It's a photo of Han Mingyu and Qi Mingxuan's marriage certificate.
"These two are such a perfect match! I take this out to look at whenever I have a spare moment, always thinking how incredibly beautiful they'd be if their second child were a girl. Sigh—"
Han's mother put away her phone, sighed deeply, and shook her head, "Now, forget about having a second child, even my daughter-in-law is about to run away!"
Han's father: "..."
—
Three days later, Qi Mingxuan recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
Han's mother has come every day for the past three days, and last night she said she would come to pick her up from the hospital in person today.
Qi Mingxuan declined, saying that she had an important meeting at the company today and would go directly to the company after being discharged from the hospital.
Han's mother had no choice but to give up.
Actually, the company doesn't have any important meetings.
Qi Mingxuan declined Han's mother's offer because she did not intend to return to the Han family.
Anmi came to pick her up.
The car drove out of the hospital's basement.
Inside the car, Anmi asked, "President Qi, where are we going?"
Qi Mingxuan looked at the scenery outside the window and said in a light voice, "Let's go back to the Qi family."
