The servant was taken aback, wondering why these items were needed.
Dongfang Yu furrowed his brows and said sternly, âHurry up and go!â
âYesâ¦â The servant quickly left and soon returned with the requested items.
Hai Xiaotang was also puzzled about his intentions. However, Zhangâs mother, who was hiding off to the side, seemed to understand.
âHai Xiaotang, choose one!â Dongfang Yu demanded, staring at her gloomily.
Just as Hai Xiaotang was about to ask what she needed to choose, Zhangâs mother rushed over to shield her, âSon-in-law, you canât treat the young lady like this! Speak reasonably, she is only doing this for your sake. You canât treat her in this manner.â
Hai Xiaotang was even more confused. What was Dongfang Yu trying to do?
Dongfang Yu grimaced with a dark expression, âEverybody, get out!â
âNo, I will not let you bully my lady!â Zhangâs mother stubbornly shook her head although, in truth, she was terrified of him.
Especially when he lost his temper, everyone was afraid of him.
But for the ladyâs sake, she could not leave. She had to protect her.
Dongfang Yuâs reaction cooled, âI told you all to leave. Do I have to escort each of you out individually?!â
âButâ¦â
âZhangâs mother, you may leave!â Hai Xiaotang said calmly, âI want to see what he intends to do. All of you leave. This is a matter between him and me.â
âBut young ladyâ¦â
âEnough, Zhangâs mother, just leave!â Hai Xiaotangâs facial expression was firm. Seeing this, Zhangâs mother had no choice but to leave.
Indeed, this was a marital issue. She, as a servant, had no right to interfere.
Once everyone had left, Hai Xiaotang stood up, facing Dongfang Yu, âTell me, what do you intend to do?â
âChoose one, and kneel down!â Dongfang Yu pointed directly at the objects on the floor, his expression was cold.
Hai Xiaotang was startled. She could hardly believe what she was hearing.
So this was his way of punishing her!
He actually wanted her to kneelâ¦
All of a sudden, Hai Xiaotang couldnât describe how she felt, only that it was somewhat suffocating, somewhat aggrievedâ¦
Didnât Dongfang Yu love her very much?
And yet he wanted to punish her by making her kneel on these objectsâ¦
Hai Xiaotang felt that a manâs sweet words were simply not to be believed!
At the same time, she felt quite angry.
âDongfang Yu, donât push it too far!â She shouted in distress. After all, she wanted to divorce him for his sake.
Did he think she wanted to? Caught in the middle, she couldnât please anyone. How could he not have considered her feelings?
How could he not have thought about the fact that if he didnât divorce her, his company would go bankrupt, and everyone would blame her?
It would be her fault in their eyes.
Even his parents would resent her, because theyâd believe that she had ruined their son, that she hadnât persuaded Dongfang Yu to divorceâ¦
However, Dongfang Yu didnât understand her predicament at all. Not only did he lose his temper at her, but now he was also asking her to kneel on a washboardâ¦
The more Hai Xiaotang thought about it, the more wronged she felt, her eyes brimming with stubborn tears.
Seeing her in this state, Dongfang Yuâs somber expression did not lighten in the slightest, his demeanor still cold as ice.
âIâm excessive, whoâs being excessive? Youâre divorcing me, I am treating you kindly considering! Hurry and choose one, what will you kneel on?â He urged impatiently.
Hai Xiaotangâs heart ached even more, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
Resentment surged within her, and in a fit of pique, she cried, âFine then! You want me to choose, right? Alright, the durian! If you want me to kneel, then I will!â
Hai Xiaotangâs words settled, falling into a stunned silence!
Because⦠Dongfang Yu suddenly knelt down on the durianâ¦
