Chapter 52: Which rich wife is not wronged?
Huo Dongming's hands remained on the hospital bed for a long time, and he did not leave until they became stiff and sore.
There was bitterness in his eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say but couldn't say them.
Shang Wanwan felt no sadness or anger, not even any blame.
She took a long breath, and it seemed as if she had used up half her life's strength to say this.
"Huo Dongming, the divorce agreement has been drafted a long time ago. Let's find a time to sign it. I am no longer of any use to you or your woman."
She gritted her teeth and gave him an explosive piece of news.
"The doctor said I can't have any more children."
She lied to him. She wanted him to know that she, Shang Wanwan, was no longer of any use to him.
so--
"Let me go. It's unnecessary for you to keep a useless person around."
Let her go.
Leave her a way out. At least without him, she can heal her wounds on her own. Only when she gets used to being without him can she live a normal life.
Huo Dongming sat beside the bed. The ward was so quiet that the only sound he could hear was the ticking sound of the quartz clock on the wall.
Shang Wanwan didn't hear a response for a long time.
She thought he was gone.
Until I turned my head slightly and found that he was still sitting there.
Shang Wanwan closed her eyes in despair.
What is Huo Dongming doing here?
Until Secretary An came.
"Mr. Huo, Miss Yi said her arm hurts a lot, would you like to..."
An Lan discovered that Yi Xiaxue and Shang Wanwan were actually in the same hospital.
God really loves to join in the fun.
Huo Dongming finally set off.
Shang Wanwan knew what he would do without even watching.
"Have a good rest, I'll come see you later."
"No thanks. Really..."
She trembled, not knowing why she should continue with such a marriage.
An Lan glanced at Shang Wanwan lying on the hospital bed.
Beautiful, weak, and miserable!
Not worthy of sympathy at all.
Huo Dongming met Li Luo at the door.
"Huo Dongming, you have the nerve to come..."
She almost slapped him.
"I have something to do, please take good care of her for me..."
Huo Dongming avoided Li Luo.
"Your conscience is gone. The person inside is your wife. Huo Dongming, you are not a man at all."
She cursed at his back, but An Lan spoke coldly.
"Ms. Li Luo, please be careful with your words in public, otherwise I will have Mr. Huo's lawyer sue you."
"Who do you think you are? I'm telling you to stop messing with me. When I get mad, I won't even let myself go. Do you want to try?"
Li Luo couldn't stand Secretary An's bullying the most. She knew that Secretary An had bullied Shang Wanwan many times in the Huo family.
An Lan only dared to threaten her a few times, because she knew that Yi Xiaxue was badly beaten by Li Luo last time.
"Mad woman."
An Lan was frightened and left quickly to follow Huo Dongming.
"The bastard has only a bunch of bastards around him."
After Li Luo finished scolding, he hurried to see Shang Wanwan.
"What did Huo Dongming come to tell you?"
She was afraid that he was trying to provoke her.
Shang Wanwan moved her lips slightly.
"It doesn't matter anymore."
Nothing matters anymore.
Chen Yao came in the afternoon with an anxious look on his face.
"Wanwan, you had a miscarriage. Why didn't you say anything when you were pregnant? Why torture yourself?"
Li Luo stood by the window with his hands behind his back, sneering.
"Auntie, if you would accept Wanwan back, she wouldn't keep it a secret."
Chen Yao was a little embarrassed.
"I know you're feeling sad right now. You can still have another baby if you lose one. The most important thing is to take care of your health. Your father asked me to make you some chicken soup. Drink it quickly..."
When Shang Wanwan heard Chen Yao say that it was Shang Xingyuan who asked her to deliver it, she felt a little more comforted.
She took the chicken soup and took a few sips.
"How did you and Dad know?"
Li Luo couldn't possibly tell them.
"I, we also heard it from the doctor. Your father is also in this hospital, how could he not know."
Chen Yao's explanation is too far-fetched.
"Wanwan, it's common for couples to quarrel, and Dong Ming and Yi Xiaxue have been quarreling for a long time.
As Mrs. Huo, you should be magnanimous. Every rich family's wife has her share of grievances. Even though I follow your father, I turn a blind eye to some things.
You should listen to your mother, take good care of yourself and then have a child with Dong Minghuai.
After all, the Huo family still has the old man to make the decision for you, and Yi Xiaxue has no ability to compete with you."
Shang Wanwan understood immediately.
It was Huo Dongming who asked Chen Yao to be the lobbyist.
I couldn't drink the chicken soup in my hand anymore.
"What else does Huo Dongming want you to do?"
There was not a trace of warmth in Shang Wanwan's eyes.
A hint of anger also appeared on Li Luo's handsome and delicate face.
I can't believe that Shang Wanwan's parents could do such a thing.
The daughter had a miscarriage caused by her son-in-law's third son. She stood on the son-in-law's side and persuaded her daughter to go back and continue living.
There are no parents like this in this world.
"No, there is nothing he can do to us. Your father and I think so too. Wanwan, the Huo family is extremely powerful in East City, and we merchants are no match for them.
You should be thankful that Huo Dongming still wants you. If you really leave him, which man would dare to want you?
This child is really a big loser. Otherwise, are you still planning to run around with the ball and live alone? How is this different from seeking death? "
Chen Yao tried hard to persuade him.
"Mom, you don't have to say anything. I won't go back."
She looked out the window, where a bird was flying in the blue sky and occasionally landing.
It is free and will hide when someone comes, but will soon land on the windowsill and use its sharp beak to comb its feathers.
"Wanwan, you can't be so selfish. We merchants still rely on Huo Dongming. Your brother's case has become a big deal now.
If Huo Dongming doesn't help, he will go to jail. Do you want to watch your brother die? And your father, he can't be provoked anymore."
Li Luo couldn't bear it anymore and tried to persuade them, saying that they were Shang Wanwan's family and she had no right to interfere in other people's family affairs.
She was so angry that she left the ward and went to the corridor to calm down.
Shang Wanwan sat quietly.
There was sunlight coming in from the window, and the dust in the air was clearly dancing in the sunlight.
Time seemed to stand still.
"Mom, please let me rest."
She was tired, mentally exhausted.
Her body was in pain, and losing her child was like taking away half of her life.
A person who can't even protect his own children.
What ability does she have to keep the business?
"Wanwan, can't you think about me and your father? We are old, in our fifties.
Without the support of the Huo family, your father and I might end up living on the street for the rest of our lives. If you don’t go back, you’re going to force us to death…”
Chen Yao cried incessantly.
Shang Wanwan no longer had the energy to argue with Chen Yao.
Asking her to go back to Huo Dongming would be really pushing her to death.
"Mom, let me think about it."
Shang Wanwan's heart and body were covered with scars.
Chen Yao looked at her pale face and didn't know what to say.
"Your father is not discharged from the hospital yet, I have to go take care of him. Wanwan, you must not leave Huo Dongming, otherwise, our business will really be ruined, and your eldest brother and your father will die."
