Chapter 11: Going Through the Formalities
Upon hearing her younger son’s words, Liu Cui Cui was full of frustration, "Hai Rong, didn’t I already analyze this with you before? There are so many benefits to keeping Shanshan at home, why can’t you understand?"
"Mom, don’t you want to hold Jun Jie, your grandson, sooner?"
Liu Cui Cui, hearing this, couldn’t help but curl her lips and quietly muttered, "Who knows if this grandson is really from the Jiang family."
"Mom..."
Jiang Huirong’s face was full of anger upon hearing his mother’s words, "Jun Jie is obviously our Jiang family’s child. He looks just like me, how could it be wrong?"
Seeing her son rebutting her, Liu Cui Cui felt even worse. Previously, she could boss Mo Xiaohong around all she wanted because her son didn’t care. But now that her son is so fond of Li Xue’er, when that woman really marries into the family, could she still boss her around?
Jiang Huirong saw his mother fall silent and said no more, directly carrying his daughter out the door.
It wasn’t until then that Liu Cui Cui reacted, hurriedly shouting, "Jiang Huirong, put Shanshan down for me."
However, Jiang Huirong’s mind was occupied with Li Xue’er, and he felt sorry for her, so he naturally wouldn’t heed his mother’s words.
Seeing her younger son acting on his own will, Liu Cui Cui’s face turned dark, "This Hai Rong, now all he sees is Li Xue’er, that widow, he even disregards my words."
"Mom, what’s going on?"
Le Ying stepped out and saw her mother-in-law filled with anger, couldn’t help but ask with concern.
Seeing her elder daughter-in-law, Liu Cui Cui couldn’t help but complain, "It’s all because of Hai Rong. We clearly agreed to keep Shanshan here, but Li Xue’er, that widow, wants to marry in sooner, so she convinced Hai Rong to send Shanshan back to the Mo family. You say, now Hai Rong listens to her like this, once she marries into our family, won’t everything go her way?"
Upon hearing this, Le Ying’s gaze flickered, and then she said, "Mom, that woman gave Hai Rong a son after all, so it’s only natural for him to care about her."
"Hmph... Hai Rong is still young, won’t he have more sons in the future? It’s all because of Li Xue’er, that woman who’s always playing games, lost her own man, and now wants to cling onto our Hai Rong."
Le Ying heard this and couldn’t help but say, "Mom, if Hai Rong likes her, let him be."
Seeing her understanding and sensible elder daughter-in-law, Liu Cui Cui felt very satisfied, but felt even less favorable towards Li Xue’er who wanted to marry her younger son, even if she did give Hai Rong a son, what does it matter? Liu Cui Cui already had her eldest grandson, Jiang Junsheng, so she didn’t really look forward to her younger grandson.
On the other side, Jiang Huirong directly took Shanshan to the Mo family, saw Mo Yiyi in the yard, directly put down his daughter, and said coldly, "Mo Yiyi, I’ve brought Shanshan, quickly call Mo Xiaohong out to go with me to handle the divorce procedures."
"Little Aunt."
Upon seeing Yiyi, Jiang Shan immediately ran forward with a smile, softly calling out.
Seeing her niece, Yiyi was filled with excitement and quickly stepped forward to hug her, "Shanshan, Little Aunt hasn’t seen you for a long time." As she spoke, her eyes grew slightly moist.
It truly had been a long, long time since she had seen Shanshan.
Seeing Mo Yiyi so excited, Jiang Shan was all smiles, then asked, "Little Aunt, where’s mom?"
At this moment, Mo Xiaohong had already heard the commotion and run out. As soon as she saw her daughter, she quickly went to hug her, "Shanshan, mom missed you so much."
Jiang Shan, upon hearing this, also said with teary eyes, "Mom, I missed you too."
Although she was still young, she understood problems existed between her dad and mom. But at home, only her mom was good to her, so she naturally sided with her mom. Today, hearing that she could be with her mom always in the future, she was only happy, finally not having to stay with her grandma and others.
Ding Yuejun saw Jiang Shan come over and smiled, "Shanshan, come over to grandma."
Seeing her kind and gentle grandma, Jiang Shan immediately ran over smiling, sweetly calling "Grandma."
Seeing Jiang Shan so close to Mo Yiyi and Ding Yuejun, Jiang Huirong couldn’t help but snort coldly, feeling even less fondness for his daughter. As expected, she’s an ingrate, not as close to her grandparents and father, but so close to Mo Yiyi and the others. It’s better to give her to Mo Xiaohong, so he won’t have to see her and get angry at home later.
"Mo Xiaohong, I’ve brought Shanshan, can you go with me to the town to handle the divorce procedures."
Hearing Jiang Huirong’s words, Mo Xiaohong’s body couldn’t help but tremble.
After years of being husband and wife, was it really coming to an end?
Yiyi looked back at her sister, saw the desolation in her expression, and chose not to speak, just waiting for Mo Xiaohong to respond herself.
Seeing Mo Xiaohong unresponsive, Jiang Huirong was somewhat impatient and continued, "I’ve brought Shanshan, can you stop going back on your word."
Mo Xiaohong slowly lifted her head that was originally lowered, no longer hesitating, directly looking at Jiang Huirong and saying, "Let’s go directly to the town." Her husband’s heart was no longer with her, and she had no son to rely on, so she had no choice in this matter.
"Let’s go, we’ll head over there now."
Seeing Mo Xiaohong finally agreeing to go handle the divorce procedures with him, Jiang Huirong couldn’t help but feel happier.
Mo Yiyi saw her sister finally making up her mind, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, directly saying to Mo Xiaohong, "Sister, then quickly go, Shanshan is waiting for you to come back and take her." Yiyi naturally hoped Mo Xiaohong would quickly handle the divorce procedures, now was the best time since Old Mrs. Mo and others were not around.
"Okay."
Looking at her daughter, Mo Xiaohong felt even more determined, and went directly out the door with Jiang Huirong.
Meanwhile, Yiyi took advantage of Mo Xiaohong’s departure, once more going over the notices with her.
Seeing her parents leave, Jiang Shan lowered her head and quietly asked, "Little Aunt, are dad and mom really not going to be together anymore?"
Hearing this, Yiyi looked at the little one, couldn’t help but ask, "Shanshan, will you be alright living with mom, grandma, and auntie afterward? Even without dad, we can still live happily."
Upon hearing Mo Yiyi’s words, Jiang Shan directly nodded, "Mm."
Ding Yuejun saw Jiang Shan being so well-behaved and sensible, smiled sincerely. This child has been good since young; even without a dad, they would take good care of her.
When Old Mrs. Mo returned, she immediately noticed Jiang Shan, then her face darkened, "What’s going on, why is Jiang Shan at our house, and... where’s Mo Xiaohong?"
Despite having a guess in her heart, Old Mrs. Mo still held onto a sliver of hope.
Seeing Old Mrs. Mo, Yiyi directly said, "Sister and Jiang Huirong have already gone to the town to handle the procedures, they should return soon."
