Chapter 878: Cheating was discovered

The two of them ate for more than an hour and finished the beer.

Huo Sijiao rubbed her belly and said, "Satisfied."

All her bad mood tonight disappeared with this barbecue.

Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "If there's anything wrong, just have a barbecue and it will solve the problem! I'll give you his phone number, just order whatever you want. Our Xie Mansion can also accept takeout, just make a note not to make a call and leave it at the door, so no one will find out."

Huo Sijiao took a sip of beer and looked at the old lady, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Grandma, if I...I mean if Xie Xubai and I get divorced..." Huo Sijiao was a little embarrassed.

But she thinks divorce is very likely.

Mrs. Xie was stunned. "Why are you talking about divorce? Is he really not good enough in that aspect?"

"no."

"So he didn't protect you tonight?"

"Not really. Actually, the two of us..." It was an agreement from the beginning.

But Huo Sijiao looked at Mrs. Xie's caring eyes and felt that she couldn't say this, so she said, "The divorce rate is so high, half of all marriages end in divorce. I'm just assuming that when the time comes, we get divorced..."

"That's impossible. We thank our family for not allowing divorce."

Mrs. Xie was not a fool. She saw that the couple must have conflicts and looked awkward. She had lived for so many years and guessed that they had rushed into marriage because they were jealous.

But since her granddaughter-in-law had already arrived at her house, she had no reason to leave.

She needs to work harder.

"Jiaojiao, think about what's wrong with our family? Why are you thinking of getting a divorce?"

There must always be a reason for doing things.

"I……"

"You need to explain this to grandma, or I won't agree to your divorce."

Huo Sijiao took out a tissue and wiped the grilled food off her lips, then said softly, "I came to the capital with my brother and sister-in-law, and I didn't want to stay at first. My brother and sister-in-law will definitely leave in due time, and I don't want to stay in the capital alone..."

She was afraid of being alone; this was not the place where she grew up.

"So you are reluctant to leave Haicheng?"

"Um."

Mrs. Xie asked directly, "Do you like narration?"

Maybe it was because he drank some wine, and those shy words came out quickly.

Huo Sijiao thought back to the moments she had with Xie Xubai and could not utter a single word to deny it.

"I like him very much, but I can't bear to leave Haicheng even more."

Old Mrs. Xie complained that her eldest grandson was not good enough and had not yet won his wife's heart. This old woman had to take action!

"That's easy. I have a way to have the best of both worlds."

Huo Sijiao asked: "What can we do?"

"Let Xu Bai go back to Haicheng with you, and you two can live separately. If he wants to live in Haicheng forever, that's fine, since we still have Jingchu at home. It's also time for him to visit your parents. If you want to accompany him back to the capital, go back, and if you want to stay in Haicheng, stay. There's nothing difficult about this. Why are young people so stupid?"

The old lady is very insightful.

"But Haicheng is not Xie Xubai's home. Where would he be..."

"What are you guys being so fussy about? It's only when a girl marries someone far away that she has to worry so much. We didn't consider your feelings. If you really like him, don't get divorced. If you miss this opportunity, you may never find him again. We don't say that you can only pick one out of a million, but we can also pick one out of a hundred."

Huo Sijiao couldn't help laughing out loud as she listened to her bragging.

The depression in my heart also dissipated.

The thought of divorce has faded a lot.

If Xie Xubai is willing, the matter can indeed be resolved.

But Huo Sijiao wasn't sure what he was thinking, as his career was in the imperial capital.

Go back and ask him.

It's not like tonight, when I'm always chased out by him.

That would be so embarrassing.

"Come, have some red wine. This bottle of red wine has been treasured for more than 20 years. It was left by my old man when he was still alive. I have never been willing to drink it." Old Lady Xie took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and filled Huo Sijiao's glass.

Red wine goes well with barbecue.

Not bad.

The two of them got half drunk before returning to their room.

…

The next day, the sky was just getting light.

It was snowing lightly outside again, and a thin layer of snow covered the ground, making it look very clean.

Xie Mansion, however, was open to the public in a bustling atmosphere.

Mrs. Xie had acute gastritis and was screaming in pain. The family doctor was brought in, gave her medicine and put her on an IV.

"Doctor, how is my mother-in-law?"

Madam Wanrong asked softly with an anxious look on her face.

"I ate irritating food, which caused gastrointestinal disorders. But it's not a big deal. It will be fine after a few days of hanging water and resting for a while. You must eat light food during this period, and it's best to eat liquid food in the next few days."

When the family doctor saw the old lady's pale face, he said, "Old people should not eat anything they like when they are old. You as family members must pay close attention to this."

"yes."

Madam Wanrong nodded repeatedly and sent the doctor out the door.

Xie Xubai stood by the bed with a cold face, looking at the guilty and upset old lady and said, "What did you eat secretly again? Did you forget that you have three highs?"

"I didn't... I just ate a little bit."

Mrs. Xie muttered, "I ate some barbecue and drank some beer. Then... I drank half a bottle of red wine."

An old lady in her seventies or eighties actually eats barbecue and drinks wine.

Really capable!

Those beef and mutton are very difficult foods to digest for an old lady.

She dares to eat it!

"etc!"

The old lady suddenly remembered something, "Xubai, go check on your wife! Jiaojiao also ate a lot with me last night, could it be that this food is not clean? She must be feeling unwell!"

When Xie Xubai heard this, he felt overwhelmed.

He walked towards the master bedroom and knocked on the door.

No one answered.

Finally, I pushed the door open and saw a petite figure lying on the big bed.

She seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Xie Xubai felt relieved.

He walked slowly to the bed and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Huo Sijiao's face was red, and her lips were dry and chapped. It was very uncomfortable to look at her, and Xie Xubai reached out to touch her cheek.

I just felt the temperature in my hands was extremely hot!

I have a fever!

He immediately turned around and walked out of the room, shouting towards the staircase: "Mother, please let the doctor stay. Jiaojiao has a fever..."

Now we don't know what caused this fever.

The family doctor was called back as soon as he got into the car to see the young lady of the Xie family.

He was quite capable. After checking, he said, "It's not gastroenteritis. Young people's stomachs are quite healthy. It seems that the high fever is caused by excessive shock and emotional instability. Take some medicine and observe for two days. If the high fever persists, you have to be sent to the hospital."

He prescribed some common medicines and gave some further instructions.

This time I was finally able to leave, and I walked away with very fast steps.

Xie Xubai sat on the bed and helped Huo Sijiao up slightly, leaning her against his arms. He took a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, but she spat it out again.

He looked down and saw that the person in his arms had opened his eyes at some point and was looking at him with a look of grievance and anger.
