Chapter 212 They Divorced, Let's Divorce Too

Du Ya yawned repeatedly and said, "Auntie Wu, let's keep breakfast simple today. Jiancheng said he wanted to eat some Spanish mackerel dumplings. Is there any left in the refrigerator?"

"some."

The nanny nodded, "Madam, Master..."

Du Yan and Huo Jiancheng looked at the people sitting in the living room. Du Yan asked with a smile, "Is there something that brought you here so early? Why didn't Qiao Xi come with you? How is the child recovering?"

"She's sleeping."

Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "I'm here to find my father."

He usually called him "Dad", but this time he called him "Father" in a distant way. Du Ya was very sensitive to his emotions, and subconsciously looked at Huo Jiancheng and asked.

"Did you upset your son?"

Huo Jiancheng forced a smile and said, "No, there is no conflict between Xingzhou and me." His body was tense and he looked a little nervous.

It's ridiculous to say it out loud.

As a father, he is sometimes afraid of his son's authority.

So he took the agreement to Qiao Xi, thinking she was easier to talk to than his son. He had warned Qiao Xi not to tell anyone about the agreement, but did she really tell anyone?

Thinking of this, Huo Jiancheng felt a little resentful towards Qiao Xi.

Isn't this causing trouble for the family?

Huo Xingzhou said coldly: "Sit down and talk."

Du Yan was unsure of what he was going to do, so she pulled Huo Jiancheng to sit down. Huo Jiancheng's forehead was covered with sweat, and he knew that today might not be a good day.

"Xingzhou, what do you want to do with your father? He has been very well behaved recently and often goes to the old house to visit your grandfather. I know that you and your grandfather don't have a good relationship, but you are related by blood after all. The eldest wife has also received the punishment she deserves."

Du Ya still dislikes the old man, but she can't stop Huo Jiancheng from fulfilling his filial piety.

"Oh? That's what he told you." He twitched his lips and looked at Huo Jiancheng and asked, "Have you been to the old house recently?"

Huo Jiancheng was a little annoyed by his tone, but he lied patiently: "Yes."

"I thought you and Xu Guangyao were having a good time, eating, drinking and chatting."

Huo Xingzhou's eyebrows were distant and his eyes were cold: "Since I'm here, I must have found something. I don't have much time to waste on this matter. That night, you drugged me as a deal with Xu Guangyao? Do you really want to match me with Xu Xingluo?"

Give me medicine?

Du Ya immediately stood up and asked, "What drug? Husband, did you team up with outsiders to drug Xing Zhou?"

This is crazy!

"I……"

Huo Jiancheng was not a liar, and it was because of him that the second branch of the family could never compete with the first branch. It was only when Huo Xingzhou grew up and showed his brilliance that the second branch of the family came to the fore.

"Are you crazy?" Du Ya knew it was true as soon as she saw his expression.

She stretched out her hand and pinched Huo Jiancheng's ear fiercely: "Have you forgotten how the Xu family ruthlessly abandoned us when Xingzhou got into a car accident? That little bitch Xu Xingluo ran far away, wishing she had nothing to do with our Huo family."

Any verbal engagement doesn't count!

"Ouch."

Huo Jiancheng hissed, "I can't help it. Xingluo really liked Xingzhou and committed suicide for him. We have had a long-standing friendship with the Xu family. She went abroad because she was sick, not because she abandoned him on purpose."

"You believe her lies? She caused so much trouble after returning to China, and you still think she is a good person?"

Du Ya gnashed his teeth in anger, "Have you been blinded by the little fox spirit?"

She really wanted to dig out Huo Jiancheng's brain to see if it was made of tofu dregs.

How can you be so stupid!

"Wife, stop hitting me. Please give me some face. I just...didn't think it through for a moment." Huo Jiancheng tried his best to make amends.

He didn't dare to mention the agreement signed ten years ago, as that would definitely cause a tsunami.

"face?"

Du Ya looked at Huo Xingzhou and said in a slow tone, "Did that little bitch succeed? That night you..."

Huo Xingzhou shook his head: "I went to a private hospital that night. Qiao Xi called me eleven times, but I didn't answer. Grandma passed away that night... She wants to divorce me now."

He said that on purpose.

Huo Jiancheng is always henpecked, so it's better for him to let his wife take care of him.

Du Ya was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Huo Jiancheng hard on the face.

"Huo Jiancheng! You are guilty of a grave sin! Do you really want to break up our family? Xingzhou's legs were healed by Qiao Xi, but you are repaying her with evil! How could you do such a thing? Xingzhou is very careful outside, and he only trusts you."

Then he got into trouble.

Du Ya taught Huo Xingzhou to keep himself clean since he was young. A man of his status could easily become a prey in the eyes of many women.

Female beauty is a knife.

"I..." Huo Jiancheng's eyes were red and he was struggling too.

"Why are you doing this?" Du Ya roared.

"I was just confused for a moment."

Huo Jiancheng stammered and said with a guilty conscience.

He has always been a bad-hearted person, but sometimes he is very selfish and subconsciously looks for the person who can control him the most. He wants to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing.

"Are you confused? Did you grow a head just to make yourself look taller?" Du Ya was so angry that she was fuming. She touched her chest and tried to control her overwhelming emotions.

"I'm sorry, I was fooled by Xu Guangyao."

Huo Jiancheng refused to talk about the agreement.

Huo Xingzhou picked up the gilded coffee cup and tapped the wall of the cup with his slender fingers, making a crisp sound.

His face was cold and pale, with a faint blue tint in his eyes. Lack of sleep made him look even colder.

He took two sips of coffee, put the cup on the tea table and said, "I came here to hear the truth. Others say that you are simple-minded and brainless, but I don't believe it. If you are really brainless, how could you survive under Huo Jianjun for so long? What you are best at is to protect yourself."

Always choose the option with the least risk.

"Go ahead. You know I can find out everything."

Huo Xingzhou raised his eyes slightly and looked at him, his patience was exhausted.

He just didn't want to waste time and wanted to find out everything directly from Huo Jiancheng.

Huo Jiancheng's eyes dodged as he said, "I have nothing to say. I was just instigated to drug you that day because I was drunk. You and Xingluo grew up together and have been childhood sweethearts. I think it's a good match. Xu can help you expand your territory in the imperial capital, but Qiao Xi can't."

Du Ya's eyes were filled with disappointment: "You once told me that you hated people who were calculating and scheming and looked down on others. How did you become like this?"

Huo Jiancheng looked into her eyes and felt as if he was scalded.

He was in great pain.

Du Ya was always very tolerant towards him, and the couple loved each other very much.

"Huo Jiancheng, if Xingzhou and Qiao Xi get divorced, I will divorce you." Du Ya threatened.

Huo Jiancheng's mind went blank. He looked at her with a pale face and found that her eyes were particularly firm.

She means business.

"Huo Jiancheng, you still haven't told me yet?" Du Ya's eyes were red and she pretended to be indifferent.

"I...I said."

Huo Jiancheng opened his mouth in pain, tears welling up in his eyes.
