Chapter 664: Chapter 584: Jun, Ni, Liang, and Sheng — The Final Severing of Mother and Sons

"..." Fang Jingting suddenly froze, staring at Jian Liangtong. She opened her mouth to retort, but in the end, she found she had no rebuttal.

"I have things to do. Excuse me." Jian Liangtong said and brushed past her, heading toward the VIP room.

Fang Jingting clenched her fists and could only watch her leave.

...

At night, Fang Jingting sat dazedly in front of the dressing table, wrapped in a robe.

It was already early morning, yet she felt not a trace of sleepiness.

Her gaze swept over the empty room and the neat, unwrinkled bed, filling her heart with endless bitterness.

Ever since she found out about the incident where she had secretly altered Hao Hao and Huo Shaojun’s paternity report, Huo Xingli had never shared a bed with her again, sleeping in the study every day.

Fang Jingting had been pampered by Huo Xingli for half a lifetime, and had long since grown proud and haughty from it.

Therefore, she couldn’t lower her stance to reconcile when Huo Xingli neglected her.

The two had spent quite a few months in this lukewarm, awkward state.

Tonight, Fang Jingting looked at the double bed, unable to suppress the discomfort in her heart.

Clenching her fingers, Fang Jingting rose from the dressing stool and turned to walk out the door.

In front of the study door, Fang Jingting initially wanted to push it open directly, but hesitated with her hand on the handle.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Jingting released the handle and raised her hand to knock on the door.

"What is it?"

After a long while, Huo Xingli’s deep voice came from within.

Fang Jingting bit her lip, "It’s me. Can I talk to you?"

Another silence fell before Huo Xingli said, "Come in."

Fang Jingting slightly calmed her complex emotions before reaching out to turn the door handle.

Huo Xingli was also in a robe, sitting at the desk, appearing not to have rested yet.

Fang Jingting glanced at him, closed the door, and walked over to sit on the sofa in the study.

Huo Xingli remained seated on the large office chair, not rising to approach her, and said blandly, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Do you regret marrying me?" Fang Jingting started, her eyes filled with self-mockery as she stared at him.

Huo Xingli frowned, saying nothing.

"It’s okay, don’t be afraid to hurt me. If you really regret it, tell me." Fang Jingting said.

"It’s too late today, go back to your room and rest." Huo Xingli frowned as he spoke, rising from the office chair, and heading toward the study’s rest room.

"Huo Xingli!"

Fang Jingting suddenly exclaimed, "Do you regret it? I’m asking you, do you regret marrying me?"

Huo Xingli halted his steps, turning to stare at Fang Jingting’s trembling cheeks, "I don’t want to argue with you."

"I don’t want to continue like this anymore! Rather than endure your coldness, we should settle this once and for all. If you truly regret marrying me, let’s divorce!"

Fang Jingting abruptly stood up from the sofa, raising her chin as she spoke.

"Divorce?" Huo Xingli’s eyes quickly darkened, his voice turning colder without him knowing, "Fang Jingting, don’t use divorce to threaten me!"

"If it can even threaten you!" Fang Jingting sneered coldly, her eyes reddened, "You probably can’t wait for me to bring up divorce with you, right?"

"Think whatever you want!" Huo Xingli snapped coldly, striding toward the rest room.

"Huo Xingli, stop, I said stop!" Fang Jingting, emotionally charged, rushed forward, grabbing Huo Xingli’s arm, her fingers digging forcefully into his arm, "Huo Xingli, I came here tonight to settle things with you. Don’t think of leaving until we do!"

"Fang Jingting, look at yourself now, you don’t even resemble a dignified lady!" Huo Xingli clenched his fist, staring at Fang Jingting’s somewhat crazed face.

"Once someone changes, nothing I do will please you. You find me not lady-like now, where were you thirty years ago? Oh, now I’m old and haggard, no longer pleasing to you, and you see me as troublesome everywhere, even unwilling to rest with me. Huo Xingli, I never expected you to be this kind of person!" Fang Jingting glared at Huo Xingli indignantly, as if he had committed some vile act against her.

Huo Xingli’s temples throbbed wildly, seemingly angered purely by Fang Jingting.

"You’re being unreasonable!" Huo Xingli growled.

"It doesn’t matter, say what you will. I’m telling you, Huo Xingli, I’m not afraid. Even if you don’t want me now, divorce me, even if my two sons, whom I carried for ten months each in pregnancy, won’t recognize me, I’m not afraid of anything. What’s this? Nothing but loneliness for the latter half of life, alone and destitute? I’m not afraid! Not afraid!" Fang Jingting shouted and then suddenly burst into tears.

Huo Xingli, "..."

"You all ignore me, all ignore me..." Fang Jingting covered her face, crying uncontrollably. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Huo Xingli, "..."

Staring at Fang Jingting with wide eyes, his lips barely moving, at a loss for words.

After all, the emotional swing in Fang Jingting’s behavior was too extreme.

"What I did wasn’t for myself. Even if I was wrong, were all three of you right? You three together isolated me, rejected me, am I your enemy? I even feel now that I’m not even as good as an outsider. Instead of continuing to make you disgusted, annoying, I’d better leave sensibly." Fang Jingting cried as she spoke.

"...You, you still know you were wrong." Huo Xingli’s lips twitched, looking at Fang Jingting with tears and mucus streaming down her face.

Honestly.

This was almost thirty years into marriage, and it was the first time Huo Xingli had seen Fang Jingting in such a mess, also the first time he had seen her cry so fiercely.

So Huo Xingli was still a little dazed at the moment.

Fang Jingting sobbed.

Yet the hand clutching Huo Xingli’s arm never let go.

Huo Xingli sighed inwardly, ultimately couldn’t harden his heart, and reached out to gently embrace Fang Jingting’s trembling body as she cried.

"Ugh..." Fang Jingting leaned her face against Huo Xingli’s chest, crying even more intensely.

It seemed this time, Huo Xingli’s coldness towards Fang Jingting really scared her.

...

Once Fang Jingting’s emotions calmed down, Huo Xingli led her to sit on the sofa.

Glancing down at Fang Jingting’s swollen eyes from crying, Huo Xingli couldn’t help but sigh softly, "Why do you do such things?"

One sentence almost brought Fang Jingting to tears again.

Huo Xingli’s mouth twitched twice, pausing for a moment before saying, "A perfectly good girl, and you discarded her like this?"

Fang Jingting hung her head, not speaking.

"That girl worked hard to give our grandson, even risked her life, yet ended up with her reputation ruined." Huo Xingli said this with deeply furrowed brows, his tone filled with indescribable melancholy and guilt.

"...Risked her life?" Fang Jingting raised her head in confusion and asked Huo Xingli.

Remembering what he had found out about Jian Liangtong’s experiences in S City, Huo Xingli only felt a heavy weight on his heart, and an even deeper remorse towards Jian Liangtong.

"Back then, you and Cheng Jin did that to the girl, causing her to almost be assaulted, which eventually led to her misunderstanding and separation from Shao Yun. You didn’t know that when you and Cheng Jin decided to do that, the girl was already pregnant with Shao Yun’s child.

Later, that girl, heartbroken, left for S City, fell seriously ill, and almost lost the child as well. Then, because of the trauma, she was mentally unstable, living very miserably..."

At this point, Huo Xingli seemed almost unable to continue.

Recalling the past few years, Jian Liangtong seemed to live every day like a living hell.

A girl in her prime, a young child’s mother...

Huo Xingli closed his eyes, speaking hoarsely, "Jingting, the owed that girl, our Huo family can never repay in this lifetime."

Fang Jingting’s face turned white.

So back then, she was already carrying Shao Yun’s child...

So because of what she did, she almost drove her insane...

"Jingting, that girl is just an ordinary girl, without much scheming. What did she do wrong to be treated like this by you? Like Shao Yun and Cheng Jin, she’s also the beloved child of her parents. She’s suffered so much, yet you still bear to hurt her, intending to go to all lengths to separate her and Shao Yun?" Huo Xingli’s voice was heavy.

"I... she and Cheng Jin..."

"She and Cheng Jin have nothing to do with each other. I’m clear about this, and you know it too." Huo Xingli tightened his brows and said.

"..." Fang Jingting couldn’t speak.

All these years, she had refused to truly understand Jian Liangtong, firmly believing in those notions about Jian Liangtong she had in her mind.

A large part of the reason was that she was afraid the reality of understanding her would be entirely different from what she imagined.

She is a good girl, and she had been doing things that hurt her!

"If you don’t want Shao Yun and Cheng Jin to sever ties with you, don’t meddle in the children’s affairs anymore."

Sever ties?

Fang Jingting felt a sharp pain in her heart!
