Chapter 216 Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce
There was a hint of anger in his eyes, but he still said with restraint: "Shouldn't I come back?"
"no."
Qiao Xi's voice became softer and softer.
She noticed his mood and slowly stood up. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at him suspiciously and she explained, "I heard you've been busy lately. You should be at work right now."
"So you're taking this opportunity to pack up and leave?"
Huo Xingzhou moved closer.
He thought she was tired enough last night, but he didn't expect that her legs could still run and she wanted to run away from home.
"No, I..."
"Qiao Xi, do you always act on your own? You want to file for divorce, you want to leave, and you make decisions on your own without caring about other people's lives." He always cared about her saying the word divorce.
She could clearly tell the existence of the agreement.
Does she not trust him that much?
"Or did you never want to stay from the beginning to the end?" Huo Xingzhou looked at her and questioned.
Last night, Zhou Yu's words replayed in his mind several times. He said that Qiao Xi's marriage was forced by circumstances, and she didn't love him at first, and maybe it was just hormones that drove her now.
Maybe she had a boy she liked when she was in school.
"Mr. Huo." Qiao Xi bit her lip and said, enduring the pain in her heart, "Didn't you sign the Marriage Agreement at the beginning, stipulating that we would divorce in three months? The agreement has already taken effect, so why are you saying all this?"
She really hit the nail on the head.
It was like Huo Xingzhou punching cotton.
"Qiao Xi, I'm asking you one last time, do you still want a divorce?"
He looked at her and asked.
Qiao Xi's eyes were red as she thought about the marriage contract from ten years ago and the humiliating night at the Jinling Hotel.
She nodded slowly.
"Speak out." He pressed coldly.
"Mr. Huo, I want to divorce you." She said word by word.
Her pretty cheeks were pale, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with moisture, and a mist obscured her vision.
Her heart broke into pieces, pushing away the last person who loved her.
Huo Xingzhou lowered his brows, his eyes filled with a dark color. He suddenly became calm and said, "Okay, take your ID and don't delay while the Civil Affairs Bureau is still open."
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at him blankly.
She didn't expect him to agree so easily, and her heart felt like it was stabbed again.
Huo Xingzhou sneered, his cold face becoming even more indifferent. "Why? You asked for a divorce, but you didn't expect me to agree? Or are you reluctant? If you..."
Qiao Xi woke up as if from a dream, wiped away the tears that were sliding down her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'll go get my ID."
As if running for her life, she left the master bedroom and went to the next room to look for her ID.
Huo Xingzhou stood where he was and took a deep breath.
You are so stubborn!
He spent all this time and still couldn't change her character.
She was used to being submissive and wouldn't stand up for herself when she was wronged. How wonderful it would be if she could be as outspoken as Jiaojiao, and complain about even the smallest grievances to the whole world.
He must change her personality!
Huo Xingzhou sneered, walked downstairs without taking any ID, and got into the car.
After a while.
Qiao Xi's eyes were red and swollen, and she was sniffing pitifully as she walked into the living room with her ID card and marriage certificate in her hands.
When Aunt Qian saw the red book in her hand, her eyes were filled with shock.
"Young Madam! What are you doing?" Aunt Qian stepped forward and snatched the marriage certificate from her hand. "It's normal for a young couple to have some disagreements. They quarrel at the beginning of the bed and make up at the end. Don't bring up divorce so easily!"
"This marriage cannot be divorced! I don't agree!"
Aunt Qian guarded the marriage certificate and refused to give it to her.
"Aunt Qian, Mr. Huo has agreed to divorce me. In fact, our marriage was an agreement from the beginning, not a real one." Qiao Xi choked up and said this, "I can't help him in any way if I stay with him."
She is a burden to everyone.
She was a burden to Zhao Yuzhen, so Zhao Yuzhen abandoned her.
He was also a burden to grandma, so grandma was killed.
This time, she is Huo Xingzhou's burden, and if she doesn't divorce, half of the family property will be taken away.
"Young Madam, haven't you helped enough? Our Second House is where it is today thanks to you. Don't underestimate yourself, you are actually very capable." Aunt Qian advised earnestly, "Young Madam, think twice."
Qiao Xi knew that Aunt Qian was doing this for her own good, but she was going to let her down.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Qian."
Qiao Xi took the marriage certificate from her hand, full of apology.
"Young Madam, this family will fall apart without you."
Qiao Xi didn't want to be shaken by her words, so he quickened his pace and walked out.
Aunt Qian patted her thigh, thinking that the young master hadn't even drunk the honey water, and hurriedly called Dujuan.
"Madam, something serious has happened! The young couple had a serious argument and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with their papers to get a divorce! The young master was so willful that he actually agreed."
She is the one who reports the latest news directly to her.
…
Inside a Rolls-Royce.
Old Chen sat in the driver's seat and looked at Huo Xingzhou several times in the rearview mirror.
Why does the young master look a little scary?
He was tactful enough to keep his mouth shut and not make any sound.
The car door opened.
Qiao Xi got into the car.
She sat awkwardly on the side near the door, leaving a large empty space in the middle, keeping some distance between herself and Huo Xingzhou.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him and the coldness in his eyes became even more intense.
"Drive." He said lightly.
"Yes, Master."
Old Chen stepped on the accelerator and drove out.
The car was exceptionally quiet.
Qiao Xi lowered her head, fiddling with her dress with her hands. She pursed her lips tightly and gripped her ID. The square corners of the ID scratched her skin, causing some pain.
But she didn't let go.
For the first time in the same space, she didn't know what to do.
I feel a little guilty, sad and scared.
Mr. Huo had always been restrained and calm, and he could maintain his composure even when facing Xu Guangyao and Xu Xingluo. But everything changed when she filed for divorce.
He beat Xiang Huai violently.
Qiao Xi felt relieved, but it was a pity that she didn't see Xiang Huai kneeling down and begging for mercy.
She took a deep breath, not daring to make any loud noise.
"Am I that scary?" Huo Xingzhou took in all her little movements and laughed angrily.
He leaned casually against the cushion, his narrow, cold eyes glancing at her.
Qiao Xi's throat was a little dry, and she said, "It's not scary."
"Then why are you hiding so far away? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Qiao Xi's eyelashes drooped, and she muttered in a very low voice, "I've eaten it quite a few times."
She was just afraid of getting too close to him and having an accident.
She finally made up her mind to give up the light in her life.
Huo Xingzhou slowly raised his eyelids and looked at her with dark eyes: "I'm asking you one last time, do you really want a divorce?"
Give her one last chance to regret.
