Zhou Hong paused. w.a.n.g Guozhu had found a place for his child?

Ha!

He was really crazy with desire for a son!

She thought that if she forced w.a.n.g Guozhu into a corner, he would abort the child! She had not expected that he would find somewhere to settle the child.

Zhou Hong hurriedly nodded. “I understand. When I get home, I will tell him that I've agreed to a divorce.”

Gu Qingyao's lips twitched. “No need to be in such a hurry. You can drag it out for another month. In the middle of the next month, you can officially file for divorce. When you get home, all you have to do is whet his appet.i.te.

“Also, let me tell you something. Right now, w.a.n.g Guozhu really wants a divorce from you. So you have the right to negotiate. For example, you can ask for alimony!”

Zhou Hong's eyes brightened!

Gu Qingyao said, “Isn't your daughter still single? If you're smart about it, you can get alimony from w.a.n.g Guozhu until your daughter is married. Anyway, how much you get depends on your own abilities. But you must allow w.a.n.g Guozhu to marry that woman without further obstacles.

“Otherwise, w.a.n.g Guozhu will settle his son's issue and you won't get a divorce in this lifetime. Also, as for your friend in the city, I guarantee that everyone will be discussing your affair. Do you hear me?”

Zhou Hong was terrified. She hurriedly nodded and agreed. “Yes, yes, yes, I hear you. I will certainly do as you say. Please don't expose my affair.”

Gu Qingyao grunted coldly. “As long as you obey, I won't have time to bother with small matters like yours!”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

When she saw that Zhou Hong was so compliant, Gu Qingyao removed the sack from her head. She entered the inters.p.a.ce and vanished.

Zhou Hong felt the grip on her neck disappear. There seemed to be no one behind her. She remained frozen for a moment, before she gingerly turned her head.

But there was no one behind her. Just an alley…

Zhou Hong turned deadly white. She was shaking as she got to her feet and fled. She did not even bother to brush the dust off herself. At that moment, she had forgotten how she had felt weak all over, and collapsed to the ground, but now she was running without any problem.

When she reached home, w.a.n.g Guozhu had not yet returned. The two older folks were also out and her daughter Zhou Xiaoyu was away. She was alone, and she took the opportunity to calm herself.

After thinking for a long time, she finally made her decision.

w.a.n.g Guozhu had spent a long time coaxing Zhang Xiaohui. Now he came home to see Zhou Hong, sitting on the sofa, covered with dust. He was shocked!

“What happened to you? Why are you so dirty?”

Zhou Hong was startled. She looked down at herself only to realize she was covered with dust. Her face flushed as she said, “I… I had a fall while I was out.”

w.a.n.g Guozhu: “…”

Zhou Hong dusted herself off and looked at w.a.n.g Guozhu. She said, “Can you tell me why you want to divorce me?”

w.a.n.g Guozhu was startled. He had not expected Zhou Hong to take the initiative to bring up this subject today.

“It's you who wanted to divorce me. Haven't you despised me all these years? I might as well let you have your way!”

A mocking look flashed across Zhou Hong's eyes. “I understand. The two of us can't stand each other anymore. A divorce is the best solution for everyone. But I feel sorry for our daughter. Xiaoyu has reached the marriageable age. Our divorce will negatively impact her.”

w.a.n.g Guozhu could tell that her tone had softened, so he also spoke more reasonably. “Xiaoyu is so outstanding, we won't affect her much. It would be worse if we divorce just after she marries!”

Zhou Hong's lips twitched. “If I agree to divorce you, will you abandon Xiaoyu?”

“Of course not!”
