Chapter 218 Last night, she praised me for being great
The mediator said earnestly, "Fifty million is a lot, but marriage is priceless. A family that can afford fifty million won't treat you unfairly. Why are you so obsessed with money?"
“I really didn’t take any money.”
Qiao Xi's eyes were red. It was so embarrassing to be slandered like this.
"Then why do you want a divorce?" the mediator asked.
Qiao Xi opened her mouth, but in the end, no words came out.
She really couldn't explain it.
That night was a shame for Mr. Huo.
He might think she didn't know anything yet, so why should she bother to expose the truth?
That agreement is Mr. Huo's lifeline.
Huo Jiancheng said that he must never say it out loud, otherwise it would create a rift between father and son and the family would break up.
The kind mediator slowed down his tone again and changed the subject: "Is your married life harmonious?"
Many couples divorce because of their sexual life.
The young couple in front of her looked very young and well-matched. The girl blushed and couldn't speak. It was very likely that there was a disagreement in that area that led to the divorce.
Qiao Xi was stunned. She asked, "Do I need to answer this question for a divorce?"
How can I tell the secrets of my bedroom to strangers?
The older woman in uniform laughed heartily and said, "I've seen this kind of thing a lot. Don't be shy. You're hesitating and refusing to tell the truth. Is your husband not good enough in that aspect?"
Qiao Xi was forced into a corner, her cheeks flushed red.
Huo Xingzhou sat aside, looking at her calmly.
The eldest sister asked again: "When was the last time you had sex?"
Qiao Xi lowered her head and stirred with her hands.
"yesterday."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "She took the initiative and praised me for being so great."
"No..." Qiao Xi denied in a low voice.
She didn't praise him!
Qiao Xi wanted to throw her head on the ground and leave this embarrassing place.
The kind-hearted elder sister looked at them in silence for a long time, comforting herself that there are farewell dinners and farewell cannons in this world, which are also normal.
Know how to play!
Everything was going smoothly last night, but today it's already been brought to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and looked at her elder sister and said, "I don't want to accept the mediation. Can you please go through the formalities quickly?"
The eldest sister wanted to say something, but she saw how determined she was.
She thought that 50 million was indeed a lot, and she could never earn that in her lifetime.
If someone gave her 50 million and asked her to kick out her incompetent husband, she would be willing to do so.
So she relented and said, "Have you finished filling out the form? Your name isn't signed yet, so please sign it first."
Qiao Xi looked at the signature in the lower right corner, and the fingers holding the black pen curled up.
As long as she signs this name, she will part ways with Mr. Huo.
She turned hesitantly to look at Huo Xingzhou and found that he had quickly written the divorce application registration form and signed his name.
Very fast!
The whole process was done without any delay and I handed the form to the kind lady.
Qiao Xi felt a lump in her throat and she slowly wrote down her name.
The kind-hearted older sister took two forms, looked at them, and said, "Go back and wait for notification. The cooling-off period for divorces is one month. Come back if you still want a divorce."
This form is for record keeping.
The above regulations stipulate that divorce can only be effected after one month.
Qiao Xi was stunned.
Is there a cooling-off period for divorce?
She hadn't thought of this at all when she came.
So it would take at least another month for her and Mr. Huo to get their divorce certificate? Now she had to bite the bullet and go back to face Mr. Huo for a month. What would he think?
Huo Xingzhou stood up calmly and said, "Let's go."
He was not surprised at all, as if he had known about this for a long time.
Qiao Xi followed him stupidly, her head in a mess.
She suddenly realized that all the sadness and entanglement along the way were a joke.
Mr. Huo already knew that the divorce would not be possible today.
She returned to the car in a daze, looked at the silent man and said, "Mr. Huo, the cooling-off period..."
The man turned his head, his face looking particularly serious with a cold expression.
He said, "Qiao Xi, even if you want to divorce me again, you have to follow the policy."
Qiao Xi was left speechless by what he said.
She clearly didn't mean that, but she always felt insecure in front of him.
She remembered the 50 million he mentioned in it and wanted to explain.
She didn't want to be embarrassed after they separated.
"Mr. Huo, I really didn't take the check for 50 million."
"oh."
Huo Xingzhou was in a very cold mood.
Qiao Xi looked at him, not knowing whether he believed it.
"Lao Chen, drive home."
"Yes, Master."
Old Chen responded and went back much faster.
…
In the Huo family's small villa, a family of three was waiting anxiously.
Huo Sijiao paced back and forth in the living room. She had so many dirty words that she didn't know whether to say them or not. Looking at her weak and kind-hearted father, she really wanted to rant about it.
I don’t know how my brother and sister-in-law are doing.
My brother told my mother on the phone that he knew his limits and that everything should be fine.
"Dad, you are such a jerk. You hid such a big thing from us, and even helped that little bitch drug my brother. What if she succeeded? I feel sick just thinking about it."
Huo Sijiao is outspoken.
Their Second Branch has finally achieved the current situation, and she will never forget who is the Second Branch's benefactor.
"Dad, don't forget that my brother woke up when my sister-in-law married into our family. What if we get divorced and my brother dies again?" She was muttering in a mysterious way, but her words made some sense.
Huo Jiancheng regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
He had no other choice at the time and just wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible.
He said guiltily, "Well...I didn't think too much about it at the time. I thought...divorce would solve the problem."
Du Juan was full of anger. She sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, and her eyes were like knives cast at Huo Jiancheng.
"When Qiao Xi comes home, you should apologize to her sincerely. If she doesn't forgive you, we will not live together anymore. Remember to stay at the old house tonight. You are not welcome here." Du Juan and Huo Jiancheng have always had a good relationship.
This time the fight was very fierce.
Huo Jiancheng nodded bitterly.
"Dad," Huo Sijiao reminded him, "Don't tell my sister-in-law about the Jinling Hotel incident. I'm afraid she'll overthink it. My brother hasn't been home all night, and we might just end up making things worse."
Du Juan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth: "Don't let anything slip."
Giving medicine is a very disgusting thing.
What happened that night was not spread outside, and no one knew about it except the parties involved.
Since Qiao Xi doesn't know, don't let her make things worse.
Huo Jiancheng shrank his head and didn't dare to tell the truth.
He really wanted to say that Qiao Xi already knew.
But he was afraid that if he said it out loud, he would be scolded by the mother and daughter, and Dujuan might divorce him on the spot.
Huo Jiancheng shut up.
Aunt Qian made some honeysuckle tea for the three of them to clear away heat and relieve internal heat. "Madam, have some water. You definitely won't be able to get a divorce today. I've seen the news. There's a cooling-off period for divorces now, so you two definitely won't be able to get a divorce certificate."
Du Juan took a sip from her water cup. "I'm worried Qiao Xi will be too stubborn and won't change her mind. She looks easy to talk to on the surface, but once she makes up her mind, she's as stubborn as a donkey."
As they were talking, a car sounded outside the door and soon stopped.
The young couple went home.
