Zhang Xiaohui had not expected Zhou Hong to refuse to divorce!
What was even more surprising was that Wang Guozhu did not know what to do when Zhou Hong refused to divorce.
Impossible.
“This… Why won’t she divorce? She’s a woman. If you don’t want her, what can she do? You have such a good job, won’t she obey you in such a small matter?”
Wang Guozhu immediately felt better when he heard these words. That was the difference between Zhang Xiaohui and Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong was domineering and always looked down on him. She frequently looked at him contemptuously. He had never imagined her obeying him.
But Zhang Xiaohui was different. In her mind, men were superior and it was only right for a woman to obey the man.
This satisfied Wang Guozhu’s sense of male superiority. The contrast between the two made him like Zhang Xiaohui even more.
Wang Guozhu’s tone grew warmer. “It’s because of Xiaoyu. Zhou Hong says she will only divorce me when Xiaoyu has made a match. Otherwise, a divorce between her parents will affect her ability to find a partner.”
Zhang Xiaohui could not stand it anymore. “Wait for Zhou Xiaoyu to make a match? And if she doesn’t, will the two of you stay married?”
Wang Guozhu frowned. “It’s not like that. Don’t panic. Xiaoyu will certainly find a match. I’ve been helping her look for one recently. Don’t worry, I will discuss it with Zhou Hong. She previously agreed to a divorce, but she changed her mind recently. There must certainly be a reason behind it. I’m trying to identify the reason.”
Zhang Xiaohui was burning with impatience, and a little angry that Wang Guozhu could not even deal with a woman. But now she knew that the most important thing was to coax Wang Guozhu into quickly divorcing Zhou Hong and marrying her. Otherwise, all was lost.
Zhang Xiaohui remained silent for a while, and tried to calm herself. She spoke to Wang Guozhu as gently as possible, “Guozhu, you must quickly find a solution! Zhou Xiaoyu has grown up, and she has always lived in the city. With an account in the city, she will certainly be able to make a good match, right?
“She’s a Zhou family girl, and it’s true that she’s your daughter, but you can’t abandon your son from the Wang family just because of her! If you divorce, it will at most affect Zhou Xiaoyu’s reputation, but her mother has a good job, and she will certainly be able to make a good match.
“But if we miss the opportunity, then… our son has no hope of surviving! It’s a young life! Guozhu, you are now middle-aged and it was not easy for you to have a son. Do I need to ask you which is more important – your son’s life or Zhou Xiaoyu’s reputation?
“You’ve raised Xiaoyu for so many years and she’s like a pampered young lady. It’s only right that she sacrifice a little for the sake of her father and her younger brother. Don’t you agree?”
These words touched Wang Guozhu deeply.
It was true that Zhou Xiaoyu was the Zhou family’s girl. Her reputation was nothing as compared to his own son. He had raised Zhou Xiaoyu for so many years, it was only right that she made a small sacrifice for her younger brother.
That Zhou Hong was being completely unreasonable!
Wang Guozhu immediately clasped Zhang Xiaohui’s hand. He felt that this woman was both kind and discerning. “Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to make Zhou Hong divorce me as soon as possible. Relax and take good care of our son. I will marry you soon.”
Zhang Xiaohui only relaxed after Wang Guozhu coaxed her for a long time.
Because Zhang Xiaohui had pandered to his vanity, Wang Guozhu grew even more accommodating. He paid for whatever Zhang Xiaohui wanted to buy, then happily said he wanted to buy something nourishing for Zhang Xiaohui so that his son could grow plump and fair.
