âCough, coughâ¦â Hai Xiaotang didnât expect her to suddenly ask such a question and was caught off guard.
Dongfang Yu on the side also darkened his face.
He quickly comforted Hai Xiaotang, âDonât get too excited, be careful not to strain your wound.â
It indeed hurt as if she had strained somethingâ¦
Hai Xiaotang endured the pain, but didnât show it. But Dongfang Yu still noticed.
He shot a dissatisfied glance at his mother, âMom, you donât know anything, can you stop talking nonsense?â
ââ¦â He Meilian really wanted to lament.
Sons are all ungrateful, forgetting their parents once they have a wife!
She embarrassedly laughed, âI canât be blamed for this; anyone would have thought the same. But seeing how anxious you are for Xiaotang, you would certainly not hurt her, so how exactly did she get injured?â
âI was showering in the bathroom and accidentally fell a few times!â Hai Xiaotang quickly explained.
âTsk, tsk, how could you be so carelessâ¦â He Meilian instantly believed her explanation, she immediately instructed Dongfang Yu, âIt seems like you need to renovate your bathroom, otherwise, what will happen if Xiaotang falls again when sheâs pregnant?â
âUnderstood!â Dongfang Yu responded, âWe will start renovating immediately.â
âGo do it now, renovation will take a few days.â
âOkay.â Dongfang Yu really went out to call someone to renovate the bathroom.
However, as soon as he left, He Meilian lowered her voice and asked Hai Xiaotang, âXiaotang, have you and Yuyu discussed it?â
Hai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment before understanding what she meant.
She was asking about their divorceâ¦
A touch of despair flashed in Hai Xiaotangâs eyes, âI told him, but he disagreed.â
He Meilian was not too surprised, âI figured he wouldnât agree. Ah, this child is too stubborn. But it puts us, his parents, in a tough spot.â
Hai Xiaotang didnât quite understand her meaning.
He Meilian explained, âActually, the Dongfang business was initially built up by Yuyuâs grandfather and great-uncle. But after the family business declined, they separated.
However, Yuyuâs grandfather passed away very early. Back then, Yuyuâs great-uncle took care of Zujie and received help from other family members. Without their support along the way, Zujie would not be where he is today.
Therefore, they also greatly contributed to the success of Dongfang.
Although Yuyu led Dongfang and generated a lot of profits, we cannot deny the familyâs contribution over these years.
Now that the whole family is strongly against you two being together, and Yuyu wonât listen to them, as his parents, we have to consider the familyâs opinions. Therefore, we have to inconvenience you.â
Hai Xiaotang was slightly taken aback by her explanation but she still nodded, âMom, I understand what you said⦠Moreover, this indeed seems like a good solutionâ¦â
âYes, itâs just a temporary divorce, I donât understand why Yuyu disagrees.â He Meilian said with a furrowed brow.
She didnât understand, but Hai Xiaotang did.
It wasnât until last night that she understood Dongfang Yuâs fears.
But others definitely wouldnât understand him⦠Because they were not him.
After He Meilian left, Hai Xiaotang felt somewhat dispirited.
Dongfang Yu stroked her head, âWhy, feeling tired?â
Hai Xiaotang shook her head, just fixing him with a complicated gaze.
Dongfang Yu looked puzzled, âWhatâs wrong, did my mom say something to you?â
