After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 1049 Setting You Free

?

Zhou Hua did not have any other relatives nor did she have any good friends over the years. Other than her younger brother, there was no one else she could ask to look after the money for her. If the money was deposited into a proper account, the Xia family would hear of it quickly. Zhou Hua had promised to give half of the money to her younger brother after this, so how could he not keep his word?

Xia Wen looked at Zhou Hua mockingly and said, "Yes, he hasn't spent it at all. The money is still in the big jar."

Zhou Hua hesitated for a long time before she realized that Xia Wen was only putting on an act just now! Xia Wen had lied to her! Moreover, the Xia family already knew the exact location of the money and must have already retrieved it! Everything that happened today was just a show put on for her sake!

"You! You lied to me! Xia Wen! You actually lied to me!" Zhou Hua pointed at Xia Wen and roared ferociously.

Xia Wen's eyes were filled with disappointment and disdain for Zhou Hua. Back when Xu Lan and Xia Mao first got together, the Xia family was poor and had nothing to its name. Later on, when the family's financial situation became better, Xia Yao was able to marry Liu Fen. By the time Xia Guang married Zhou Hua, it could be said to be the Xia family's most prosperous period.

Zhou Hua did not go through a single day of suffering after her marriage. Even when she was taking care of her pregnancy in the capital, she lived in a luxurious house with a professional nanny taking care of her. At that time, Wu Min was still alive. Although Wu Min was not in good health by then, she would still go to Zhou Hua's place every week to make soup for her.

Zhou Hua not only did not appreciate this act of kindness, but she even said that Wu Min was only pretending to be nice to her. Wu Min returned home feeling sad and fell seriously ill not long after. Xia Jun was so angry that he almost wanted to ask Xia Guang to come back and divorce Zhou Hua. It was Xia Mao who suppressed this matter in the end.

"Grandfather is giving you this last chance today to see if you're sincere about repenting. After all, you're getting old and my third uncle has indeed been less than fair to you because of all the time he spends at work. If you had told the truth just now, we would have made arrangements for a house for you to live out your old age in peace," Xia Wen said to Zhou Hua in disappointment.

When he was at Xia Jun's house earlier, he had suggested many ways to deal with this matter which would not cause much harm to Zhou Hua. Xia Wen had always kept Zhou Hua's future well-being in mind. Even if she had done something wrong, Xia Guang did owe her a great deal for so many years. They should not force Zhou Hua to a dead end.

Xia Jun and Xia Wen even made a bet. Xia Wen felt that Zhou Hua would definitely tell them where the money was hidden. Even if she did not care about Xia Guang, she still had three sons. He did not believe that she did not care about her sons.

The truth was beyond his expectations. He did not expect Zhou Hua to be so heartless and blinded by greed. There was no reason for him to put in a good word for Zhou Hua in front of Xia Jun.

It seemed that experience really came with age. Xia Wen's wrong bet showed that he still did not grasp the truth of human nature.

"Hmph, stop putting on a pretense here. Since you know where the money is, you can go and get it. I have nothing to say," Zhou Hua said.

Even if Zhou Hua did not say anything, Xia Wen had already sent someone to retrieve the money.

"Third son, do you have anything else to say?" Xia Jun asked as he looked at Xia Guang.

Xia Guang lowered his head, at a loss for words. He had never wanted to rely on his family's reputation. It was a nightmare for him to be a member of the Xia family. No matter what he achieved, there were always people around him who said that he would not have achieved those results if not for the Xia family.

It was precisely because of this that Xia Guang disregarded everyone's advice and went to guard the border without any hesitation. It was all so that he could get rid of the halo effect of being part of the Xia family and make a name for himself.

His current achievements in the army were all a result of his own hard work. Even though his current military rank was not as high as his older brothers, he was already very satisfied.

He did not expect his actions to have caused so much harm to Zhou Hua. In his memories, Xia Jun and Wu Min lived their lives in a similar manner, but Wu Min never blamed Xia Jun at all. That was why he felt that Zhou Hua could also endure such a life. The reason why he allowed Zhou Hua to handle all his money was because he hoped that Zhou Hua could have a better life at home.

There was no point for the two of them to continue being entangled. It was better to set her free.

"Do you want a divorce?" Xia Guang looked into Zhou Hua's eyes and asked earnestly. He still hoped that Zhou Hua would change her mind.

"Let's get a divorce," Zhou Hua said calmly.
