The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

“Dad, Mom, nice to see you.” As Hai Xiaotang hadn’t officially divorced Dongfang Yu yet, she had no choice but continue addressing them as before.

But her polite tone already revealed her genuine intention of wanting a divorce.

He Meilian didn’t mind at all, she warmly chatted with her, asking her about this and that.

Dongfang Zujie was tall and impressive, and even though he was now older, still very handsome.

Dongfang Yu resembled him, both father and son had especially high noses.

“I heard you’ve been doing some design work at the company recently?” Dongfang Zujie suddenly asked.

Hai Xiaotang always felt a sense of reverence when facing her father-in-law, “Yes, but only involved in one project.”

“The work from the last New York bid, was that also your design?”

“Not entirely.”

Dongfang Zujie nodded his head, expressing his approval, “You’re quite talented in this field, if you continue learning from Yuyu, I’m sure you’ll achieve great things.”

Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, she was about to divorce Dongfang Yu.

He Meilian lightly patted her hand with a beaming smile, “Xiaotang, you’re so capable. Mama has a gift for you.”

She picked up an exquisite jewelry box from the coffee table and opened it –

Hai Xiaotang was immediately dazzled by the extravagant, massive ruby necklace inside.

He Meilian joyfully said, “This necklace has been passed down from the British royal family, isn’t it beautiful? I’m giving this to you. If I see any other pieces of beautiful jewelry, I’ll buy them as gifts for you.”

“This…” Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, she and Dongfang Yu were about to divorce.

Did they not know?

He Meilian took out the necklace, “Come, let me put it on for you.”

“Mom…” Hai Xiaotang tried to stop her, “I’m touched by your gesture, but I really can’t accept this.”

“Wiry?”

Hai Xiaotang looked at them, hesitatingly asked, “Didn’t we decide to divorce Dongfang Yu?”

It turned out that He Meilian already knew about it and didn’t seem surprised at all.

She smiled and said, “Yuyu must have upset you. You see, it’s quite common for couples to quarrel and then threaten to divorce. You and Yuyu are such a good match, it’d be a pity if you divorced. Don’t worry, if you have any grievances, just tell me about it and I’ll stand up for you. Let’s drop the divorce talk, we’re all family here. Come on, let me put this on for you, it’ll look stunning!”

Hai Xiaotang quickly stood up to avoid her.

He Meilian looked a bit surprised, “What, you don’t like it?”

“No!” Hai Xiaotang shook her head, “Mom, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can’t accept it!”

Although she felt guilty, her resolve didn’t falter.

He Meilian frowned slightly, “Are you really planning to divorce Yuyu?”

Hai Xiaotang avoided eye contact, “Yes! We’ve already signed the divorce agreement, I’m serious…”

“What’s the reason for the divorce?” Dongfang Zujie asked in a deep voice.

“We’re not suitable. In the first place, I insisted on this marriage, it was a mistake. Everything was my fault, I shouldn’t have insisted on claiming what’s mine. And now, I’ve come to my senses and decided to let each other go.”

He Meilian laughed, “So that’s what it’s about. But I’ve asked Yuyu, and he seems to disagree with the divorce. If he disagrees, that means he doesn’t think this marriage should end. Xiaotang…”

“Mom!” Hai Xiaotang interrupted her, taking in a deep breath, “I know you all mean well, but about the divorce, I’m serious. Dongfang Yu and I, we must end this marriage!”
