“What’s there to say?”
Shen Xiu’s voice was heard coming from the end of the corridor.
Everyone turned simultaneously to look at the man as he walked up to them.
He looked at the ward and then his gaze fell on Xia Yehua and Dad Xia. “I consider this matter settled.”
As he said this, he held out a divorce agreement and thrust it at Dad Xia. “The matter has blown up! A reporter managed to take pictures of Xia Nuannuan and Liu Haiyang in the act. No matter what now, the Shen family does not want a daughter-in-law like her! If you know what’s good for everyone, then sign this divorce agreement.”
At this juncture, Shen Xiu took out a check and said, “Here’s one million, consider it a small compensation to Xia Nuannuan from us.”
Then he gave a cold humph. “Actually, I shouldn’t even be giving this money! It’s just that I pity her.”
Xia Yehua took a step forward and said, “Shen Xiu, that’s enough! We’ll talk about the divorce when Zihao comes home!”
Shen Zihao had called a few times. The earliest flight he could get on only arrived half a day later. He had bought the ticket hurriedly and was madly rushing to Beijing.
Shen Xiu snorted icily and said, “They are young and don’t know better. If they’ve done something wrong, then we as adults have to intervene. Why? Our in-law here is not going to accept this? Then let’s reason this out.”
Before he could finish what he was saying, Dad Xia interrupted and said, “Alright. I agree.”
Shen Xiu choked for a moment. He had not expected that Dad Xia would actually agree without even trying to reason things.
Frowning, he handed the divorce agreement and the check to Dad Xia before he said, “I’m leaving then.”
After Shen Xiu left, Xia Yehua walked up to Dad Xia and said, “In-law, you should consider this carefully. Signing this document means that you’re admitting it. The man Nuannuan loves is Zihao. If she has to end up with this other man, she won’t be happy for the rest of her life!”
Dad Xia laughed bitterly at her words. “One time, Nuannuan told me your story. I thought at that time that you must have done something wrong to decide to leave the Shen family without a penny in your pocket. I even told Nuannuan not to be nosy about other people’s business. But now I understand.”
He pointed at Xia Nuannuan and said unhurriedly, “You’ve seen the situation with your own eyes today! The worst thing that could happen if I sign these papers is that my daughter will never find happiness in life. But if I don’t sign them, my daughter may lose her life at some point!
His remark stunned Xia Yehua into silence.
When she thought of how Xia Nuannuan had been lying in that blood pool, as Shen Xiu and Mei Feng shamelessly blocked the way and refused to let them near her until they would clarify their stand, it chilled her to the core.
Every parent hoped that their child sailed through life safely.
It was fine for a son to take a few hard knocks, but for a daughter... She was sure that, at that moment, Dad Xia wished that the person suffering was him instead.
He looked at Xia Yehua and continued, “In-law, we are not an extremely rich family, but this daughter of mine, I brought her up with great love and care.”
At this point, he said once again, “Hence, this divorce will happen for sure!”
So what if they bore a sullied reputation?
Looking at the determined man, Xia Yehua was at a loss for words.
Xia Nuannuan’s operation to clear her womb did not take long to complete.
After she was taken out of the operating theatre, the doctor spoke with them. “What did you people think you were doing? The patient was in such a state and you didn’t rush her to the hospital? Do you realize that if you had been just a few minutes later, she would have lost her entire womb?!”
