My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 896 - Uncle offended Auntie
Chapter 896: 896, Uncle offended Auntie.
Chapter 896: 896, Uncle offended Auntie.
Huo Jinghua took the tissue box and didn’t forget to pat her son’s little head, “Ziyang is truly awesome!”
Praised by his fairy mother, Fu Ziyang bent his little mouth in happiness.
Huo Jinghua passed the tissue box to her sister-in-law.
“Thank you, sister-in-law.” Fu Qi reached out to take it, pulling out tissues nonstop to wipe her tears.
In the past two days, she had come to accept the reality of Xiu Xin and Fu Xihan’s divorce and also that Huo Jinghua was her new sister-in-law.
Although the whole affair was utterly shocking…
Huo Jinghua turned her head, her gaze falling on the scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.
On the balcony, her brother was talking with the unfaithful man.
**
“You mean, Dong Manjiao had someone do it?” Fu Xihan exhaled smoke rings, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
“Have you found out anything on your side?”
“The motorcycle owner had no issues; the bike was hijacked midway, and he didn’t get a clear look at the hijacker’s face, and surveillance couldn’t make it out either.”
Wearing a helmet, even if captured by surveillance cameras, made it impossible to recognize the person’s features.
And such deliberate concealment only served to indicate that the person had come prepared.
Fu Qi had lived here for over half a year and never offended anyone; her working environment was quite pure.
He had just brought Jinghua to Nancheng, and besides Huo Jingshen, he had no so-called relatives or friends here, let alone any enemies.
“I won’t let her off.”
Huo Jingshen said, “Leave this matter to me.”
“Hm? Isn’t Fu Qi my sister?” Fu Xihan raised his eyebrows, his tone laced with cold mockery.
“She was targeting me.”
“But she has offended me now.”
Huo Jingshen didn’t insist anymore, “Anyway, tell Fu Qi not to go to work for the next few days. I’ll talk to grandma and have her notify the orchestra.”
“All right.”
**
The two men quickly returned to the living room.
Fu Qi’s left arm was wrapped in thick gauze, her hair disheveled, her eyes red and swollen as she pitifully called out, “Big brother, Brother Shen.”
Huo Jingshen didn’t say anything.
“What did the doctor say?” Fu Xihan asked.
“The doctor said that some of the wounds are quite deep, but they are superficial injuries; she’ll be fine with some rest.”
“Hmm.”
Fu Qi played the violin, relying on these hands for her livelihood; thankfully, it was not tendon or bone damage, otherwise…
Fu Xihan squinted his eyes, exuding an icy aura all around him.
…
Su Wanwan drove home, Huo Jingshen’s car was already parked there.
He finished work so early today?
Su Wanwan, with Ko in tow, headed back, only to discover…
The living room was empty.
The study, the kitchen, even upstairs, were also devoid of people.
Su Wanwan took out her phone and dialed someone’s number; it was quickly connected, and she heard Huo Jingshen’s deep, magnetic voice, “Are you home?”
“Where are you?” Su Wanwan asked him, “The car’s here, where have you run off to?”
Huo Jingshen said, “Next door, I’ll be back later.”
Next door?
Su Wanwan frowned, “Which next door?”
Besides the villa where the Fu siblings lived, there was another next door, that of Yan Shunhua’s residence…
“Jinghua is here,” Huo Jingshen said, before adding, “Fu Qi got injured after work and was also frightened, so I’m over here.”
“Is she okay?” Su Wanwan immediately asked.
“It’s nothing serious, just some superficial wounds.”
“Did they catch the bad guy?”
“No,” Huo Jingshen said, “You should go out less these next few days, but if you must go out, I’ll have the driver take you.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
So that was why?
Ah phooey!
And here she was, thinking he was really worried about her…
“Should I go over and check on her?” Su Wanwan thought. It might not have mattered before, but now that Huo Jinghua was Fu Ziyang’s mother and hence Fu Qi’s sister-in-law.
As Huo Jinghua’s sister-in-law and Fu Qi’s relative, it was only right for her to visit the young girl who had been injured and frightened.
Huo Jingshen said, “I’ll be back soon.”
“Then I’ll come pick you up!” Su Wanwan said, and without waiting for his reply, she hung up the phone.
**
Next door villa.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Jingshen returned to the living room.
Only Fu Qi was sitting there on the couch.
Huo Jingshen looked around and asked, “Where are they?”
With red eyes and a voice still husky from crying, Fu Qi said, “Sister-in-law wanted to watch a movie, so Big Brother and Ziyang took her to the upstairs home theater.”
Ever since Fu Xihan brought Huo Jinghua to live here, knowing she was his mother, Fu Ziyang instantly transformed from a cool boy to a tender-hearted young man, being incredibly attentive to Huo Jinghua.
He followed her around like a little tail every day, barely leaving her side, wanting to do everything together. It seemed that they had even been sleeping in the same bedroom as a family of three these past few nights…
Huo Jingshen nodded, “I’m heading back, please tell Xihan for me.”
After saying that, he turned to leave.
But who knew…
“Jingshen!”
Huo Jingshen stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her, “What’s wrong?”
“You…” Fu Qi bit her lip, standing up from the couch.
Her expression seemed conflicted, but finally…
“Jingshen, do you really like Su Wanwan that much?”
Huo Jingshen’s brow twitched.
But looking at Fu Qi’s conflicted expression, he admitted, “Yes.”
Though she had already known the answer, Fu Qi’s heart still twinged painfully.
This was the first time she had heard Huo Jingshen clearly admit his feelings for a woman from his own mouth…
Tears that Fu Qi had just wiped away fell again, “But… I like you a lot too. From the first time I saw you, I fell for you. For many years, I’ve been quietly finding out your preferences through my brother. Whatever you like, I learn. Everything I do is according to your tastes…”
“Fu Qi,” Huo Jingshen said seriously, “I’ve told you before, I’ve always seen you as a sister. Now you know Jinghua is your sister-in-law, and we’ll be family in the future. You can keep calling me brother…”
“I already have a brother!” Fu Qi interrupted him.
“I know,” Huo Jingshen said with rare patience, “but I truly have no romantic feelings for you…”
“What about Dong Manjiao?” Fu Qi suddenly asked.
Huo Jingshen furrowed his brow.
Before he could speak…
“On my 18th birthday, I originally planned to confess to you, but Dong Manjiao came to me, saying that you and she were a match made in heaven. She also said that you were the Eastern Alliance’s predetermined son-in-law, and that as long as you marry her, you’d be the future heir of the Eastern Alliance!” Fu Qi rushed to explain, “A few days ago, she came to me again. It turns out that day you left with her secretly back to the United Kingdom without Su Wanwan knowing…”
In the middle of her words, Fu Qi suddenly changed her expression, then she said, “You…why are you here?”
Huo Jingshen turned around.
As expected, Su Wanwan stood at the doorway, glaring at him with an intense look.
“Don’t get me wrong, I… I didn’t say anything…” Fu Qi said, with a guilty conscience.
Su Wanwan turned and walked away.
Huo Jingshen hurriedly chased after her.
Fu Qi watched their retreating figures and slumped down on the sofa, his face gradually shifting from panic to conflict and then to calm.
In the end, he clenched his fingers tightly.
**
“Why are you running?”
Huo Jingshen took a few steps forward and reached out to grab Su Wanwan’s arm.
And then…
“Hiss—”
Su Wanwan looked down and bit into his arm.
His muscles tensed instantly, and Huo Jingshen winced in pain.
At first, he thought…
Endure it.
The girl was in a temper, let her vent for a bit, and he could explain later.
But then he realized Su Wanwan didn’t seem to be planning to stop, and moreover, she was biting harder and harder…
Huo Jingshen reached out his hand, pinched her jaw, and applied a slight force, forcing Su Wanwan to open her mouth…
Finally freeing his injured arm.
He looked down and indeed saw a large wet spot on the white sleeve where her saliva had soaked through.
“Can you not bite people every time something happens? Are you a dog?” Huo Jingshen said, annoyed as he pinched her cheek.
“Liar!” Su Wanwan turned her face away, not letting him touch it.
Her voice was sharp and piercing.
And they were in someone else’s yard now…
“When did I ever lie to you?” Huo Jingshen said somewhat helplessly, “Keep your voice down…”
“Are you afraid of being embarrassed if others hear about the things you’ve done?” Su Wanwan continued to shout, “Great, so the woman who went to the United Kingdom with you last time is your lover over there! And what about… the predetermined son-in-law? Go ahead then, go marry her, I won’t stop you… Mmm Mmm Mmm!
Her mouth was covered.
Huo Jingshen held her and said, “Let’s go home and talk, not here.”
He couldn’t afford to lose face!
But it was too late.
“What’s going on? Why are you two arguing?” A certain irritating man’s voice lazily rose from behind.
Then, an even more irritating little man’s voice rang out crisply, “Little Uncle upset Little Aunt, they’re having a fight!”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Huo Jingshen also: “…”
**
Huo Jingshen almost dragged Su Wanwan away with a dark face.
Once outside the door, Su Wanwan was still defiant, “Don’t touch me!”
Huo Jingshen stood with hands on his hips, “Either you walk yourself or I’ll carry you.”
Su Wanwan also put her hands on her hips, “You wouldn’t dare!”
Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes and reached out his hand.
He swiftly and accurately hoisted her onto his shoulder.
“Ahh—”
Su Wanwan screamed, pounding on his back with force, “Jerk! I’m wearing a short skirt today! You’ll reveal everything!”
So Huo Jingshen reached out with a large hand.
“Asshole!” Su Wanwan felt a hairy sensation on her leg, infuriated, she couldn’t help but curse.
Huo Jingshen still put her down, though.
Glancing at the short skirt she was wearing that day, his handsome brows furrowed deeply, “Who let you wear such a short skirt? When I’m not home, does nobody care what you wear?”
Damn…
It’s so short; you can almost see my thighs.
Su Wanwan tugged at her skirt, huffing in retort, “What I wear is none of your damn business, I’ll wear what I want. What’s the point of summer if I don’t show some leg?”
“You’re not allowed to wear this again!” Huo Jingshen issued his iron-clad order directly.
“As if you have a say!”
“I am your husband. If I don’t take care of you, who will?” After saying that, Huo Jingshen delivered the final word, “Don’t wear this skirt again in the future.”
“I won’t listen to you!”
“Then I’ll cut it up,” Huo Jingshen said. “You buy one, and I’ll cut one. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Listen to the arrogance of the newly rich!
Su Wanwan turned and walked away.
Huo Jingshen followed with a dark face.
This villa was a bit of a distance from the one they lived in.
And now it was just after six in the evening, the sky at the end of July still bright as day.
A girl and a boy were walking one after the other like this.
The young girl was wearing a white T-shirt and an A-line pleated mini skirt, her long curly hair done up in a bun, looking beautiful and fashionable, brimming with youth, but the expression on her face was sullen, as though she had suffered a great injustice.
The mature and handsome man followed behind her, matching her every step, silent as ever.
…
Finally home, Su Wanwan immediately went upstairs.
KO, who had been squatting on the living room carpet, saw the female owner going upstairs and immediately followed her happily.

Huo Jingshen pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming on.
He really didn’t think the issue with Dong Manjiao was necessary to talk about. Plus, with many other matters and considering Yan Shunhua’s position, he hadn’t taken the initiative to mention her existence, but…
The girl seemed quite angry still.
His phone rang.
Huo Jingshen answered the call.
On the other end of the line, Fu Xihan asked, “Have you made up yet?”
Huo Jingshen, “…”
“Pathetic.” Fu Xihan on the other side let out a mocking chuckle. “Having a wife so much younger than you, do you have to coddle her every day? I wouldn’t have imagined it, Huo Jingshen, who always looked down on women, would actually be willing to grovel and suffer in silence in front of a little girl, like a whipped dog…”
Huo Jingshen hung up directly.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, the phone rang again.
Huo Jingshen glanced at the caller ID and this time, pressed and held the “power off” button.
…
“Baby.”
In the bedroom, Su Wanwan had started playing video games on the couch as soon as she got back. Hearing the voice, she didn’t even lift her head.
Huo Jingshen: “…”
He walked over to the couch, “Are you overthinking things again?”
Su Wanwan ignored him.
“I can assure you as your husband, Manjiao and I truly have nothing going on….”
“Manjiao.” Su Wanwan finally spoke, although her eyes were still fixed on the computer screen’s game interface. “Heh, quite the affectionate nickname.”
Huo Jingshen again: “…”
He coughed lightly and continued, “Actually, Man… Dong Manjiao is your aunt.”
