Chapter 59: Let's Get a Divorce!
"Did... you... do the deed already...?"
With a bright smile on her face, Jiang Lan asked, disregarding Han Qiansan who had come along with her.
With a blush, Xiao Yingxia faintly nodded her head.
"Good! That's good to hear!"
Jiang Lan clapped her hands in excitement.
She couldn't help but mutter: "Yingxia, you’re quite promising, unlike Xiao Qingcheng who failed to seize such a good opportunity..."
"But Yingxia, you must be clear of your own identity. Your mama won’t make an unreasonable request like wanting you to become Young Master Li's wife or something..."
"As long as you’re Young Master Li’s lover, it’d be fine..."
"Yingxia, seize this opportunity. You must never get angry with Young Master Li... In addition to that, you must think of ways to... please Young Master Li and try to curry favor with him..."
Jiang Lan began to guide her daughter patiently.
Listening to it, Xiao Yingxia blushed but wasn’t really against it.
Han Qiansan who had been standing aside could no longer restrain himself.
It was one thing for Xiao Yingxia to lose her virginity.
Although he was distressed the previous night, he was already mentally prepared for it.
He could only grit his teeth and accept what all had happened.
He didn’t blame Xiao Yingxia for it and could only blame himself for not being able to protect her against Li Mubai’s evil clutches.
But now, the words that Jiang Lan, his Mother-in-law, spoke enraged him!
How could there be a mother like her who tells her married daughter to be another man’s lover!
She was even advising her daughter to please another man!
Han Qiansan immediately fired up: "Enough is enough. Jiang Lan, though you went too far before, I endured and still respected you just because you’re Yingxia's mother...."
"But now, Yingxia is my wife. How can you tell her to do such a thing!"
"Do you even see me as your Son-in-law?!"
"Huh."
Jiang Lan, however, wasn’t the least bit afraid of him.
She said weirdly: "Oh, I didn’t expect a trash like yourself to say this!"
"Hehe, you still have the cheek to call Yingxia as your wife, take a look at yourself first. Do you even know how wronged she was all this time and how many contemptuous looks she had to stand since you joined our family!"
"Take a look at her now, she can now put on those high-heels, necklace, earrings, ring and all... Which one of them do you think you can afford...?"
"If you want Yingxia to lead a good life, I suggest you take your leave as soon as possible. I don’t want you to be a burden for Yingxia. If Young Master Li came to know that Yingxia had such a good-for-nothing husband, it might displease him and might delay Yingxia’s prospects after all..."
"You!"
Han Qiansan was angry at Jiang Lan's shamelessness.
He gritted his teeth, and said coldly, "I can buy these things for Yingxia. As long as I have Yingxia as my wife, I don’t care what others think!"
"Hehehe…"
Jiang Lan gave him a cold look and sneered at him: "Stop bragging! I heard last night that the items Yingxia had on her body are worth several hundred million yuan. You think you can afford them?"
"Han Qiansan, you're not just trash, I see, you've also become good at bragging. You’re puffing yourself up at your own cost!" (TL Note: Puff oneself up to one’s own cost - Literally to slap one's face until it's swollen to look imposing. Do something beyond one's ability.)
"If I say I can afford it, I can afford it!"
Han Qiansan felt a choking pain in the chest.
He didn't want to act like a wimp now.
He no longer wanted to continue staying hidden.
He wanted to let Xiao Yingxia know that he wasn’t the same good-for-nothing as before and could protect her and would no longer let her be wronged ever again!
"Han Qiansan, let's get a divorce!"
However, before he could say it, Xiao Yingxia said coldly.
Han Qiansan was taken aback hearing the word divorce.
Though Xiao Yingxia had taken the blame and was wronged in the past because of him, she had never once brought up the matter of divorce.
"Why? Yingxia, even you think that I’m bragging? I can buy them for you!" Han Qiansan said stubbornly.
With a poker face, Xiao Yingxia said coldly: "I hope you’re bragging..."
"If you can afford them..." Xiao Yingxia couldn't help but smile sarcastically, "Then why did you say that only after you’ve seen me put them on!"
"This makes me despise you even more!"
Han Qiansan's heart shook.
He left it unexplained.
At this moment, the more he tried to explain, the colder Xiao Yingxia's heart would be.
So, he had no choice but to bring up the words of the elder of the Xiao family.
"Yingxia, it was because of your grandpa that I had joined the Xiao family. He told whatever might be the cause, you must never divorce me!"
Xiao Yingxia had always been filial.
This was also the reason why Xiao Yingxia was able to restrain her impulse of divorcing Han Qiansan for three years despite being wronged and being at odds.
"Is that so..."
Surprisingly, Xiao Yingxia at this moment slowly closed her eyes.
As the two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes, she uttered each word: "He doesn't deserve to be my grandpa!"
