Hai Rong also tried to persuade him, âThatâs correct. Dad, Xiaotang is still young and naive, you canât always indulge her. Ayu is such a good person. If thereâs a problem between them, itâs definitely not one personâs fault.â
Before the juniors, Hai Zhiyuan doesnât bad-mouth them, he just keeps quiet.
He only fixates on Hai Xiaotang, âXiaotang, tell your grandfather, what are you thinking? I want to hear your true feelings.â
âGrandfather, are you⦠are you agreeing to my divorce?â Hai Xiaotang asked, vaguely hopeful.
The old man nodded, âThereâs nothing that serious about divorce. If you two canât get along, thereâs no need to force yourselves to stay together.â
âDadâ¦.â Hai Rong was about to speak again but he was silenced by a glare. âYou shut your mouth, no need for you to say anything!â
The patriarchâs sternness always held. Hai Rong didnât dare to say anything else at that point.
However, Dongfang Yu was inexplicably nervous.
Despite the fact that he already had a divorce agreement signed with Hai Xiaotang and he knew she truly wanted a divorce, he was reluctant to let her have it.
However, this was clearly impossible.
It was good enough that Hai Xiaotang could contain her immense joy.
Hai Xiaotang didnât expect her grandfather to agree to her divorce so easily. Being hurt last night was all worth it!
Nonetheless, she maintained an appearance of calm, âGrandfather, thank you for understanding me, for supporting me. I never expected that you would accept to such an extent.â
Any average familyâs divorce wouldnât be as straightforward, let alone for her.
The Hai family holds an extraordinary position in C City, and Dongfang Yuâs status is even more prestigious.
Their divorce would not only involve the interests of both families, but would also have a certain impact on the society.
Many couples at the same level, even if they have no feelings left, they would still be forced to hold onto the marriage for a lifetime.
Divorce was absolutely impossible!
However, just because her grandfather was heartbroken for her distress, he agreed on her divorce. This was something she never expected.
Her grandfather truly cares for her, only considering her feelings.
Hai Xiaotangâs eyes welled up again when she thought of her grandfatherâs love for her. âGrandpa, I will never be stubborn again. I wonât worry you or make you angry any more.â
Hai Zhiyuan gave her a gentle smile, âWhy are you crying again? Grandpa agrees to your divorce because he wants you to be happy.â
âGrandpa, I am moved,â she weeped.
The patriarch lovingly smoothed her hair, âNow, can you tell grandfather what you are thinking?â
Hai Xiaotang unconsciously glanced at Dongfang Yu.
The manâs eyes were dark and deep, his lips were slightly pursed, and there was not a trace of emotion on his face.
Hai Xiaotang inexplicably sensed his chilling indifference.
She only looked at him for a moment before averting her gaze, nodded and was about to speak, âIâ¦â
âWe have already signed the divorce agreement!â Dongfang Yu suddenly cut in with a deep voice, interrupting her words.
Hai Zhiyuan and the other three were surprised.
âAlready signed?â The old man shifted his gaze to Hai Xiaotang.
Hai Xiaotang was a bit taken aback that Dongfang Yu would bring this up, but still she nodded, âYes, we have. Howeverâ¦â
âBut the procedure has not been done yet, it will take some time,â Dongfang Yuâs voice seemed colder than before.
Hai Xiaotang was astonished.
Was heâ¦agreeing to proceed with the divorce immediately?
The patriarch asked sternly, âDoes this mean you two already secretly started the preparations to divorce?â
âYes.â Dongfang Yu admitted.
Hai Rong and Zhan Yu looked at each other, both seeing dissatisfaction in each otherâs eyes.
âAyu, how can you and Xiaotang decide to divorce without even letting us elders know? Both of you should realize, your divorce is not just a matter concerning the two of you!â Hai Rong spoke with a note of anger.
