561 Recovery
Qiao An refused fiercely. “Aunt, they’ve been together for four years. It’s not like you haven’t seen how hard Sisi has worked in the past four years. Now that they’re getting a divorce, that’s because fate has ended. It’s too cruel for Sisi to live under the same roof as Zhou Zhou.”
Zhou Zhou’s mother said with red eyes, “An’an, you’re too cruel to my Zhou Zhou. You didn’t give him any room to salvage.”
Qiao An said righteously, “Sisi is a girl and the unloved party. Out of justice, of course, I have to help her.” With that, she walked upstairs to help Sisi pack up her things.
Huo Zhou leaned against the wall and looked at Huo Xiaoran bitterly.
“Your wife is siding with an outsider. Why didn’t you stop her?”
Huo Xiaoran smiled and said, “It’s not like you don’t know that I’m a slave to my wife.”
Huo Zhou looked at him in disdain.
Huo Xiaoran said, “You’re really strange. Since you don’t love Sisi, let her go. The further she goes, the better.”
Huo Zhou’s expression darkened. “Although Sisi and I can’t be husband and wife, I still hope that Sisi will give me a chance to make it up to her.”
Huo Xiaoran patted his shoulder. “Sisi doesn’t need it. After all, she wasn’t after your money from the beginning.”
Huo Zhou’s expression turned even uglier.
It was as if a corner of his heart was missing and he felt a little empty.
Upstairs, Qiao An helped Sisi pack her things. She kept giving her ideas. “Sisi, I know you can’t bear to part with Zhou Zhou. However, the more you can’t bear to part with him, the more you have to show that you’re determined to leave. When you disappear from his life like a tornado, Huo Zhou won’t be able to adapt to life without you in a short period of time. He will always remember your thoughtfulness.”
“Then you would lead your new boyfriend around in front of him and let him know that you have your admirers. Without him, your world would still be spinning, and you would be better off than before. That way, he would discover how good you were.”
“At that time, he will be enlightened. You were humble to him in the past. You were his bootlicker not because you couldn’t get anyone better, but because you loved him. He lost the person who loved him the most in the world. Let him regret it so much that his intestines turn green.”
Sisi swallowed and was uneasy. “Sister An’an, will he really turn around? What if he doesn’t?”
Qiao An said, “If he doesn’t turn back, then are you willing to spend the rest of your life with a man who doesn’t love you?”
Sisi shook her head and said, “Sister An’an, I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely cooperate with you the entire time.”
Qiao An said, “Hurry up and clean up all your life trajectories. Disappear completely from his.”
Sisi did as she was told.
Downstairs, Zhou Zhou’s mother paced back and forth. “Why did Sisi and An’an stay upstairs for so long? Could it be that An’an persuaded Sisi to stay?”
Huo Zhou’s expression softened.
Although he was sure that he was going to divorce Sisi, he still hoped that she would take her time. If they interacted a few more times, he hoped that she would understand him and let it go.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Sisi and Qiao An dragged a few big bags down.
Huo Xiaoran was so frightened that his face turned pale. He was thinking that the wound on his wife’s back had not completely healed and quickly ran over to help.
“Brother Xiaoran, these are all trash. Please help me throw them at the trash station.” Sisi pointed at the plastic bag in Qiao An’s hand.
Zhou Zhou was dumbfounded.
Through the plastic pocket, he saw Sisi’s daily necessities.
Was Sisi throwing them away?
Did that mean she was not coming back at all?
Zhou Zhou’s mother cried. “Sisi, even if you want to leave, there’s no need to lose these things, right? They don’t take up space. What if you come back one day?”
Sisi choked. “Mom…”
Then, she changed her words. “Auntie, I won’t come back. I haven’t mustered the courage to mention divorce for the past four years because I thought I could still work hard. But now I know that no matter how hard I try, Brother Zhou Zhou won’t fall in love with me. I give up.”
Huo Zhou looked at her blankly.
Sisi didn’t look at him. She lowered her head and left quickly with her luggage.
Qiao An glared at the confused Huo Zhou and said, “Zhou Zhou, you lost the girl who treats you the best in this world.”
Zhou Zhou didn’t know if Sisi loved him the most. After all, he didn’t have much experience with women.
Huo Zhou looked at Sisi’s lonely figure and chased after her.
Huo Xiaoran grabbed his arm and said, “Zhou Zhou, if you’re really good to her, let her go happily. If Sisi doesn’t see you in the future, she will recover faster. You should know that there’s a saying in this world called love turning into hatred. I don’t think Sisi is willing to see you either.”
Qiao An echoed, “That’s right. She used to treat you well, but you didn’t cherish her. Now that she’s gone, as time passes, she’ll slowly let go of you and find a husband who loves her and dotes on her. Who knows, when she suddenly looks back a few years later, she’ll feel that the few years she’s been with you are the least worth it.”
Huo Zhou’s face darkened as he silently went upstairs.
Qiao An knew that he was in a bad mood and asked Huo Xiaoran to accompany him.
After Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou left, only Qiao An and Zhou Zhou’s mother were left in the courtyard. Zhou Zhou’s mother reprimanded Qiao An loudly, “Qiao An, I’ve always treated you well. How can you side with outsiders? You’re only concerned about Sisi. Can’t you see that my Zhou Zhou is also very hurt?”
Qiao An raised her voice. “How could he be hurt? Aunt, he’s just feeling guilty. If he’s even a little hurt, he wouldn’t divorce Sisi. Only people who give their heart will be hurt.”
Huo Zhou’s mother said angrily, “Qiao An, how can you be so heartless to my Zhou Zhou? I really misjudged you.”
Qiao An said, “I’m sorry, Aunt. I, Qiao An, have always been reasonable.”
Huo Zhou and Xiao Ran heard Qiao An and Huo Zhou’s mother arguing and ran out.
However, Qiao An and Huo Zhou’s mother ignored each other with dark expressions.
Huo Zhou closed his eyes in pain. “I caused everything. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don’t affect your relationship because of me.”
Huo Zhou’s mother snorted and left angrily.
Not to be outdone, Qiao An retorted, “You’re taking advantage of your seniority. Hmph.” Then she left angrily too.
Huo Zhou and Xiao Ran looked at each other. “Has this matter blown up?”
Xiaoran quickly chased after Qiao An.
Huo Zhou went after his mother.
When Qiao An returned home, she took off her high heels tiredly and threw them on the ground. Huo Xiaoran followed behind and silently placed the shoes.
Qiao An sat on the sofa and closed her eyes in exhaustion.
Huo Xiaoran quickly went forward and massaged her shoulders. “An’an, fate is destined. If Zhou Zhou and Sisi really can’t get together, you don’t have to plan for them.”
