Chapter 167 Looking for Trouble
"Would she agree?"
"Yes, this is the life she wants, of course she'll be willing."
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenhong felt even worse, and his expression became even more unpleasant.
“We’ve been married for twenty years, and I have feelings for her. It’s common for men to have affairs. Do you really think that Guan Yu was devoted to you and never had other women? Don’t be naive!”
Huo Zhenhong looked at Fang Lanxin with disgust, deliberately saying such hurtful things.
Seeing Huo Zhenhong's expression, Fang Lanxin smiled faintly: "It seems you still don't understand why you've come to this point. Just like you said, there are many men who have affairs outside, but let me ask you, how many of them come back and abuse their wives and children? Over the years, have you ever shown Huang Ying even the most basic respect? Have you ever given her the face she deserves? You did all of this yourself, so why does it seem like it's someone else's fault now?"
"This is the divorce agreement I've drafted. Take a look and see if you're willing. As for the rest, I'll handle it. Huo Zhenhong, this is the last time I'll clean up this mess for you. You'd better take care of yourself from now on." Fang Lanxin said, rubbing her temples in pain.
These words reminded Huo Zhenhong of the past. Back then, he was an ignorant teenager who always got into trouble, and Fang Lanxin always helped him deal with it. Fang Lanxin was truly decisive and efficient back then. Now, while she is decisive and efficient, she also has a touch more maturity and shrewdness. If this were the young Fang Lanxin, he would probably have broken his legs by now.
Thinking of this, Huo Zhenhong took a deep breath: "Sister-in-law, I'll listen to whatever you say."
Um?
Fang Lanxin originally thought it would take a lot of effort, but she never expected that the boy would suddenly have a breakthrough.
Seeing his obedient appearance, Fang Lanxin felt a little uncomfortable. It was as if she had returned to twenty years ago, when Huo Zhenhong was not yet married and all he did was cause trouble outside, endlessly causing trouble.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin smiled and said, "Sign it and take good care of your injury."
"Sister-in-law, I want to see her again!"
"I……"
Huo Zhenhong had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to say it when faced with Shang Lanxin's indifferent eyes. In desperation, he could only sigh.
"Anyway, I want to see her!"
Fang Lanxin remained noncommittal, turned around, and walked outside.
Huang Ying and Huo Xianxian were also injured and were in a room not far away next door. Fang Lanxin took the divorce agreement and handed it to Huang Ying.
"He agreed to the divorce."
Upon hearing Fang Lanxin's words, Huang Ying burst into tears.
Holding the divorce papers, she looked at Fang Lanxin in disbelief: "Really? Sister-in-law, is this for real?"
"It's true, it's true. He's willing to divorce, and all the conditions are there. As for you and your daughter, I will send you abroad as soon as possible to start a new life." Fang Lanxin looked at Huang Ying very seriously. This wasn't a discussion; it was a notification.
Sure enough, Huang Ying was stunned upon hearing this: "Why go abroad?"
“You’ll cause us trouble if you stay in the country, so you have to leave. Do you understand?” Fang Lanxin patiently repeated herself again.
But Huang Ying is no longer young, and she doesn't know what will happen to her after she goes abroad.
She frowned deeply as she looked at Fang Lanxin, then at her daughter, and hesitated to sign the papers.
"Mom, please sign it. No matter what, we can still be together. I'm willing!" Huo Xianxian immediately spoke up, looking at Huang Ying expectantly. "Mom, this is a rare opportunity!"
Huang Ying took a deep breath and signed her name anyway.
That settles the matter!
"I will have the relevant departments come to handle this matter. This matter cannot be made public at this time."
"As for you... he said he wants to see you."
Fang Lanxin frowned and just looked at Huang Ying.
But Huang Ying stared at the divorce agreement, shook her head, and said calmly, "I don't want to see him anymore."
"Sister-in-law, I hope to go abroad as soon as possible."
Twenty years of trials and tribulations have long since erased the feelings of those days. Huang Ying can hardly believe that the person in front of her is still the same person she remembers. So what's the point of meeting?
Seeing Huang Ying's expression, Fang Lanxin didn't say anything more, but simply nodded: "Okay."
Stepping outside, Fang Lanxin leaned against the corridor and lit a cigarette.
When Huo Xianxian chased after them, she was startled to see Fang Lanxin smoking.
"Aunt, what's going on?"
Fang Lanxin didn't dodge, but just looked at Huo Xianxian coldly: "What are you doing?"
"I want to see him."
Huo Xianxian tugged at her clothes, looking at Fang Lanxin somewhat awkwardly. She knew that her little thoughts would definitely not escape Fang Lanxin's notice, so she still felt a little guilty standing in front of Fang Lanxin.
Seeing her guilty look, Fang Lanxin felt relieved. She smiled and said calmly, "You really are your father's children, you're all the same. He's in the next room, you can see him if you want."
Fang Lanxin took a deep drag on her cigarette, put it out, and went upstairs to the ward.
Before even entering the door, I could already hear Guan Yu's screams, which must mean he was having his bandages changed.
Last time, she was inside the house and didn't hear a sound at all, so it seems that Lord Guan must have been enduring a lot of hardship.
Seeing the nurse bring out the blood-soaked gauze, Fang Lan felt an indescribable heartache.
She clenched her fist, then opened the door and came in.
"Alan, what brings you here?"
When Guan Yu saw Fang Lanxin, he was somewhat surprised, but even more so, he felt shy.
"You...you heard that?"
Fang Lanxin did not answer the question. She stepped forward, took a towel, and gently wiped Guan Yu's head, tears falling drop by drop.
Fang Lanxin felt heartache; she had never felt heartache so concretely before.
With red eyes, she wiped Guan Yu's forehead again and again.
Guan Yu grabbed Fang Lanxin's hand and whispered, "If you keep rubbing, the skin will break."
"Don't cry, I'm not in pain." Guan Erye struggled to his feet and looked at Fang Lanxin with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll get better soon."
Fang Lanxin wiped away her tears, sat down next to Guan Yu, and didn't say anything. She just leaned on his shoulder and looked out the window together.
The world is vast, and all things are free, but unfortunately, humans are not free.
Fang Lanxin reached out and intertwined her fingers with Guan Yu's. Tears streamed down her face. All she wanted was to be with the person she loved. Why was it so difficult?
