Madam Wants a Divorce Every Day

Su Wanwan could not help but frown when she saw the man in sunglasses standing in front of her.

He seemed to be in his early twenties and was wearing a floral shirt and carrying a pouch. There was a bandage on his head and his middle-length hair made him look like a  gangster that could often be seen out on the streets.

“Who are you?” Su Wanwan asked bluntly. She really had no idea who this man was.

Huo Zexi almost fainted.

This woman had smashed a bottle against his head, got him grounded and lectured by Huo Yuanshan for several days, and she was actually asking him who he was?!

He pointed at her and snarled, “What are you doing in my house? Tell me!”

Su Wanwan blinked and asked slowly, “This is your house?”

“Stop pretending!” Huo Zexi whipped off his sunglasses furiously. “Did you come all the way here to complain to my grandfather?”

Grandfather?

Su Wanwan finally got a rough idea of what was going on. Was this brat Huo Jingshen’s younger brother?

Said younger brother was still barking at her: “I have not yet settled the score with you for the bar incident, you violent woman! If you dare tell my grandfather that I drugged you that time, I… I’ll kill you!”

“Drugged me?” Su Wanwan frowned and asked sharply, “When did you drug me?”

Huo Zexi instantly shut his mouth. She did not know that he drugged her? Damn, he shouldn’t have said anything! Was it too late to pretend that nothing had happened?

“Zexi!” Old Mistress Huo’s voice suddenly rang out.

Huo Zexi who had been yelling at Su Wanwan earlier suddenly became a polite and decent boy in front of Old Mistress Huo. “Grandma.”

Old Mistress Huo walked into the living room, raised her hand and whacked his arm. “You start yelling and shouting as soon as you come home! I can hear your voice from outside, you hooligan! Can’t you see that we have a guest?”

Huo Zexi stared at Su Wanwan blankly. ‘Guest?’

“Well, she is not exactly a guest either. She will be your sister-in-law soon,” Old Mistress Huo continued as she peered at Su Wanwan.

“What the hell?!” Huo Zexi yelped in disbelief.

“She is your elder brother’s girlfriend and they are about to get married soon,” Old Mistress Huo replied patiently. After that, she went over to Su Wanwan to  take a closer look at her.

The young lady was really gorgeous. She had a small oval face, fair skin, and delicate features. She was stunning, with the kind of beauty that would capture anyone’s attention at first glance.

She had beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and a tiny peach blossom birth mark. Even without makeup, she had charming features and an alluring smile.

Old Mistress Huo felt relieved after studying her from head to toe.

It did not matter if she could not get the mayor’s daughter as her granddaughter-in-law, as long as Ah Shen liked this girl and the both of them were happy together, it was more than enough.

“Grandma!” Huo Zexi rushed to his grandmother and protested, “This woman is evil! She deliberately tried to seduce me in the bar! You cannot allow her to marry my big brother!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I am not talking nonsense! She is the one who gave me the wound on my head!”

Old Mistress Huo frowned doubtfully. Huo Zexi was a strong young man who was one hundred and eighty centimetres tall, while Su Wanwan was a delicate young girl. How could she possibly have beaten him up?

Su Wanwan suddenly came to a realization. He was the flirt who tried to get cozy with her at the bar the other night!

She had drank a lot that night and had been in a very bad mood. Mo Weiyi told her that whenever she was drunk, she would turn into a completely different person with so much strength and destructive power that even a man would not be able to subdue her.

Just as she was wondering how to explain herself…

“Do you think that I do not know you?” Old Mistress Huo snorted derisively and scoffed, “You must have been infatuated when you saw a beautiful girl like her, and tried to take advantage of her. You clearly failed to do so and got beaten up in the end. You’re just lucky she did not hit you there!”

“Hahaha!” Su Wanwan quickly ducked her head, unable to hold back her laughter.

Huo Zexi glared at her viciously, then turned to his grandmother again and whined, “Grandma, I really did not do anything, it was Su Wanwan who tried to seduce me first! Now, she is even trying to seduce my brother! There is something suspicious about her!”

“Su Wanwan?” Old Mistress Huo smiled warmly, holding Su Wanwan’s hands as she said happily, “You are so beautiful and you also have such a lovely name. Grandma likes you.”

Huo Zexi’s jaw dropped.

After praising Su Wanwan, Old Mistress Huo turned to Huo Zexi, her eyes narrowing as she said disapprovingly, “Zexi, stop fooling around. Your elder brother is already thirty this year, and we are so lucky that he found such a beautiful girl. If you scare my granddaughter-in-law away, I will not spare you!”

Huo Zexi’s eyes widened pitifully. “Grandma, am I not your biological grandson too?”

“If you weren’t, I would be so happy that I could eat an extra two bowls of rice!” Old Mistress Huo retorted.

Huo Zexi was about to complain again when a ruckus from the study room stopped him.

***

“This is ridiculous!” Papers, ink, and pens were scattered all over the study room. Old Master Huo was standing behind the desk, panting heavily, his eyes filled with anger.

Compared to his grandfather’s violent rage, Huo Jingshen remained composed. He simply started picking up the things on the ground and placing them back on the table again.

His tone was light as he said, “Grandpa, take care of your body and health. The doctor said that it is best for patients with high blood pressure to stay happy and positive.”

Old Master Huo turned around and  calmed himself down before saying, “If you do not like the mayor’s daughter and do not want to get involved in politics, that is fine with me. I will ask Wanying to help you look for another young lady with a clean and decent family background. However, Su Wanwan will not do! Do you know that the Su family never publicly acknowledged the existence of that girl before? No one even knows who her biological mother is, and it is because we should not wash our dirty linens in public! If you decide to marry her and her mother suddenly makes an appearance, then you will not only be embarrassing me, but you will also be bringing shame and disgrace to the entire Huo family!”

“Grandpa, was this how you persuaded my father back then too?”

That single sentence from Huo Jingshen made Old Master Huo freeze.

He was already seventy and had lived such a long life, but what he regretted the most was having a disagreement with his beloved eldest son over his marriage.

Father and son became enemies because of that very reason. Right after that, Huo Zecheng did not hesitate to give up his life here, and took his wife and son away with him to settle down in Y Country.

A few years ago, Huo Zecheng passed away in a foreign land, and father and son did not even get to see each other for the last time.

“After my mother passed away, my father’s mind became somewhat unhinged. Whenever I went home, he would always think that I was my mother. Sometimes, he would even think that Jinghua was my mother.” Huo Jingshen was impassive as he spoke, as though it had nothing to do with him at all.

“One day, Jinghua was filming abroad, and I was discussing business with someone outside. The maid did not pay attention to my father for just a few seconds and he ran out of the house and accidentally fell from the tenth floor of the mall. The mall was newly built and every floor was filled with glass-”

“Stop talking!” The old man snapped suddenly.

Huo Jingshen did not continue speaking.  The study room was silent.
