CH 15

The neighbors who were clustered into one group sent Yu Jun to the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. On the way there, more and more onlookers joined the fun. Some of them who felt that it was interesting ran to Old Mrs. Yu’s house to inform her about the news.

When the news reached Old Mrs. Yu, she jumped from the chair she was sitting on and pushed the gloating man who told her about what happened out of the house angrily.

After shutting the door hard, she walked furiously back to the chair. Sitting on the chair, she patted her chest and scolded, “Really, this shameless little hoof, how dare she do such a shameful thing as a divorce?” It looked like she was really blind when she let her son marry that shameful woman back then. Their Yu family simply lose face because of this bitch!

Yu Ci, who was the aunt of Yu Xiao, rolled her eyes upon hearing her words. In the first place, it was Old Mrs. Yu who wants this marriage. It goes without saying that the reason behind it was because Luo Qian’s eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law were both officials.

Really hypocritical, Old Mrs. Yu only dared to bad-mouth Luo Qian behind the door. When all is said and done, Old Mrs. Yu was all talk and didn’t even have a plan to help Yu Jun at all.

However, these words can only be kept hidden inside her heart. She didn’t have the courage to say in front of Old Mrs. Yu. After all, she was now a woman who was left behind by her husband and had no choice but to count on her natal family’s support. Particularly, she needed to depend on Old Mrs. Yu as she was one who held the financial power in the family.

So an angry expression made its way onto her face, “Mother, don’t be angry. If you continue to be angry, it will only affect your health. In my opinion, let’s think of ways to apologize to them, or else…”

“Yes, yes, you’re right. I have to apologize properly, lest her eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law bore a grudge against our family. Otherwise, it’ll be troublesome in the future.” When Old Mrs. Yu thought of the gifts and the flattery she received inside the neighborhood, and the possibility that it would not continue in the future. She suddenly felt angry with her eldest son.

He was indeed born just to collect debts!

In addition, her heart bled when she thought that she would need to go and apologize with a gift. She had been used to receiving gifts for the past few years, and the only time she sent gifts to others was for the betrothal gift she gave to Luo Qian as her bride’s price. But these gifts had been used by her little by little after Luo Qian married into the house.

Leaving aside Old Mrs. Yu’s bleeding heart, after Yu Jun was pulled forcefully to the divorce registration office, he knew that having a divorce had been set to stone today. Currently, he started to regret his actions that caused their marriage to come at this point.

It was a pity that everything was all too late. The moment his eyes fell on the seal on the black book, strength left his body. If it weren’t for the few people who were still holding onto his arms firmly, he might have collapsed on the floor.

“Here, starting from now, we are no longer husband and wife. I will take care of Xiaoxiao in the future.” Luo Qian held the divorce certificate and passed it directly to Yu Jun.

Yu Jun looked at her absentmindedly with a pair of red eyes, and didn’t stretch out his hand to take the divorce certificate. Luo Qian knitted her eyebrows and didn’t say anything else. She simply stuffed the divorce certificate into his pocket, and followed Luo You without taking a bat at him, “Big sister, let’s go. Brother-in-law, let me hold Xiaoxiao.”

Zhou Qiang shook his head as his response, “It’s okay, let me hold him for you.”

“Xiaoxiao, are you okay?” Remembering the scene of her precious son being thrown out brutally by that bastard Yu Jun just now, she instantly became worried.

Yu Xiao moved his head sideways. Actually, the moment his body hit the ground, severe pain assaulted him. The feeling of having his internal organs injured struck him. Yet, in the next second, his right palm heated up. A warm current washed over his body and the pain miraculously disappeared little by little. Now, the pain was almost non-existent.

He also checked the skin under his sleeve and discovered that the scratches were slowing healing. It looked like these bizarre things happened because of the seed pattern.

Stepping outside the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Luo Qian stared at the clear sky outside and couldn’t stop herself from sighing heavily. The deep sadness living in her heart for many years disappeared at this moment. Thinking of the days to come, her heart was one again full of hope and enthusiasm.

Yu Xiao looked at the smile that bloomed on her mother’s face again after so many years, and felt extremely joyous. After that, his eyes moved towards Yu Jun who was secretly watching them from behind and the smile on his face disappeared. Right, there is one more thing to do.

“Mom, I want to talk to you about one thing.” With a solemn expression, he stared at Luo Qian.

“What is it? Xiaoxiao?” Luo Qian panicked, “Is it because you’re not feeling well?”

Yu Xiao faintly shook his head, “Mom, I just want to say, since I will be with you in the future, I want to change my surname to be the same as you.”

“Ah?” Luo Qian was taken aback after hearing his words, “No, it’s not necessary, it’s actually okay.”

“But I want to follow my mother’s surname. I don’t want to have anything to do with them in the future.” Yu Xiao was aware that he was now a ten-year-old child and could speak willfully. Honestly, after experiencing those things in the future, he knows the character of that man’s family the best. In simple words, they used the fact that he had the Yu surname on him and took advantage of him in all ways, causing him to feel tired.

“Oh, Xiaoxiao is still looking for his mother’s well being.” Zhou Qiang opened his mouth with a smile.

“That’s natural!” Yu Xiao deliberately lifted up his head, looking like he was extremely pleased with what he said.

“You!” Luo Qian didn’t know whether to cry or laugh looking at his cute appearance. She gently patted his little head.

Luo Qian also had a smile on her face, but a hint of hesitation was mixed with her expression. Only a few people were divorced at this time. It was even more uncommon to see children follow their mother’s surname, so she was having second thoughts.

Yu Xiao was not ignorant of what was running on his mother’s mind after looking at the expression on his mother’s face. However, to completely break off their relationship with them, they had to do it now lest those people take advantage of them the mother and son in the future.

As such, Yu Xiao purposely wandered his eyes around, with hesitation plastered on his face.

“What’s wrong, Xiaoxiao?” Luo Qian quickly became uneasy.

“Mom, this, there is one thing I didn’t tell you.” Yu Xiao looked at her quickly with a nervous look and opened his mouth hesitantly.

“What is it?”

“This, actually, I know the person who pushed me into the river.”

“Are you sure?” Luo Qian immediately asked, “The bastard who pushed you into the river?”

“Yes, it’s younger brother.”

“Brother?” Luo Qian’s brain froze for a moment. In the next second, her eyes widened. “Wait a minute, you mean Lu Cheng?”

“Lu Cheng?” Both Luo You and Zhou Qiang frowned after hearing this. Luo Qian had some knowledge about Yu Jun’s family and knew that this child, Lu Cheng, was one year younger than Yu Xiao. She would never imagine that a kid like him could do such a thing. But they watched Yu Xiao grow up, and he was basically an honest child who didn’t know how to lie. It was even more impossible for him to lie about this matter.

If what Xiaoxiao said was true, then it could only mean that this child’s heart was really dark. At a young age, he could do such a vicious thing. This is not some petty fight, it involves the life of a person!

When the three adults thought of how Xiaoxiao almost died after being pushed into the river, they shuddered in fear. Luckily, Xiaoxiao is fine now, otherwise…

“If that’s the case, Qian, you should let Xiaoxiao change his surname to be the same as you. It’s better not be related to a family like them, or else we will not know what will happen in the future!” Luo You thought for a moment and said directly.

Zhou Qiang also nodded approvingly, “That’s right. I work in the Public Security Bureau, so leave the matter of changing Xiaoxiao’s surname to me.”

“Then, let’s change it.” Luo Qian looked at Xiaoxiao. Even after raising him for many years, he was still skinny and small. This child had suffered enough.

“Xiaoxiao, then you will have mom’s surname from now on.” Luo went over and patted his head, “From now on, you will be called Luo Xiao.”

“Yeah!”

Yu Xiao, no, from now it should be called Luo Xiao. Luo Xiao nodded his head hard. In his last life, he was called Yu Xiao until he died. In this life, he is now called Luo Xiao starting from this moment onwards. Everything will slowly change in the future, and this change will definitely develop into a good direction!

The five of them decided not to wait for a few more days and went directly to the Public Security Bureau. The Public Security Bureau was not far from the Civil Affairs Bureau, just a thousand meters away. They headed in that direction with the intention of dealing with the matter quickly.

After they left, Yu Jun came out of the pillar he was hiding. His eyes were filled with complex emotions. In fact, when he first heard that the little bastard wanted to change his surname, he had the urge to come out and slap him fiercely. But he quickly stopped himself and it was exactly because of this action that he was able to hear the truth of the matter.

To be honest, after hearing that it was Lu Cheng who pushed Luo Xiao into the river, he was more or less surprised like them. However, thinking of Old Mrs. Yu’s character and his sister who inherited Old Mrs. Yu’s viciousness, he felt that Lu Cheng doing such a thing was not surprising.

But despite the fact that he beat and cursed this little bastard before, he is still the eldest grandson of the Yu family. If Lu Cheng, a nephew with a different surname, had the nerve to do such a thing, then he would not let him go easily.

Moreover, it looked like he still had to remind his sister, a daughter who had been abandoned by her husband and was only relying on her natal family for support, and who had the ability to raise a ‘good’ son and who was feeling too comfortable in staying in her natal family, that she was disregarding his existence as the eldest brother.

Besides, starting from now on, all the property of the family will be passed down only to him. If she still had the plan to stay in the family peacefully, she better learn how to behave!

Yu Jun once again took a deep look at the direction where they had left, clenched the heavy divorce certificate in his hand, and then turned around to leave the Civil Affairs Bureau.
