"Auntie, I'm sorry! We're divorced!" She no longer wanted to pursue what her ex-mother-in-law had done before. Her marriage with Kang Shaonan had nothing to do with others.
"It doesn't matter if you get divorced, you can still remarry! Xiaoxiao, do you want your child to be without a father? Shaonan is alone now, so pitiful. Just for the sake of the child, give him another chance, okay?" Seeing Yu Xiao's expressionless answer, Liu Xiaoyun's tears suddenly fell: "Xiaoxiao, you are a mother now too. I know that what I did before was too much. People say that retribution is in this life, and now everything is happening to me. Shaoxi is still missing, and if Shaonan gets divorced again..." Liu Xiaoyun couldn't say any more, and she covered her face with a handkerchief and cried.
Yu Xiao looked at her and sighed. She felt uncomfortable hearing her talk like that, but this was her choice and she had to face it.
"I'm really sorry. Kang Shaonan agreed to the divorce and no one forced him. I really don't want to be a military wife anymore. I've had enough. I don't want to repeat those days of fear. I just want to be with my children and watch them grow up happily. That's enough! Auntie, it's really impossible for us. You should go back!" Yu Xiao looked at Liu Xiaoyun apologetically.
Liu Xiaoyun held Yu Xiao's hand tightly and looked at her pleadingly: "Xiaoxiao, please think about it again. For the sake of the two children, they are still so young, you can't let them be without a father!"
"Auntie, you are wrong! Although Kang Shaonan and I are divorced, he will always be the father of our child, and no one can deny this. I am really sorry, please go back!" Yu Xiao looked at her and ordered her to leave.
Although Liu Xiaoyun was very reluctant, she finally left Yu Xiao's tea shop unwillingly. Sitting in the luxurious Mercedes-Benz, Liu Xiaoyun's tears could not stop flowing again, and endless regrets came over her. However, no matter how much she regretted, she was powerless to change the fact that her son divorced Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao was not happy in the days after divorcing Kang Shaonan. Ming Yusong was also completely enraged when he learned that his daughter and son-in-law were divorced. Ming Yusong had always appreciated Kang Shaonan's actions. He couldn't understand why his daughter suddenly chose to give up such an outstanding man.
"If you two are arguing, you can let each other calm down for a while. Why do you have to take such extreme measures? Xiaoxiao, you are a mother now. You have to learn to be responsible for your child!"
Yu Xiao knew how much her father and adoptive parents cared about her. She moved her lips, a hint of bitterness flashed across her eyes, and she went upstairs silently holding Xiaoxiao. Ming Yusong looked at his daughter's back and shook his head and sighed. Ren Zhiping on the side was not so calm. They slapped their thighs anxiously and stood up.
"No! They said we can't get a divorce no matter what. I'm going to go find the Kang family!" After saying that, he took his things and hurried out the door. Yu Jiahou looked at his wife's back and wanted to call her back, but he felt that she did nothing wrong, so he let her go.
Ren Zhiping was very angry along the way. She thought about how her daughter and Kang Shaonan had been through many ups and downs in the past year since their marriage. Now that Fu Jiawang's case was solved, the two of them parted ways. This was unacceptable no matter how she thought about it.
No matter how angry Ren Zhiping was, her anger would disappear when she arrived at the Kang family villa, because at this time, Mr. Kang had also learned the news that his eldest grandson Kang Shaonan and Yu Xiao were divorcing, and he was furious in the living room. The cane that he had used for years made a tapping sound when it poked the ground. Although the old man was over 80 years old, he still spoke with confidence, and his voice was as loud as thunder, making the Kang family villa buzz.
Kang Zhenguo and Liu Xiaoyun sat on the sofa, not daring to utter a word. Even more so the servants in the villa, who all held their breath for fear that the fire would accidentally start on themselves.
Kang Shaonan, who was called back from the army, stood up straight, looking straight ahead, with a hint of determination on his resolute and unruly handsome face!
"You have become too independent now that you are the division commander, right? Who asked you to get a divorce? What's wrong with Yu Xiao? What did you say when you called me into the bedroom when we got married? You are a man, and a division commander at that. Every word you say will make a hole in the ground! You said that you would marry no one else but her in this life! You would treat her well with all your heart! A real man should do what he says. Since you don't keep your word, what kind of soldier are you? What kind of division commander are you? Zhenguo, get me Zuo Xiongfei's phone number right away. Isn't he the deputy division commander? Watch how I remove him!" Grandpa Kang was really angry this time. He roared loudly and told his son Kang Zhenguo to call Division Commander Zuo immediately.
Although Kang Zhenguo was shrewd in business, he had been afraid of his father, who had a bad temper, all his life. He sat on the sofa in silence for a whole night, thinking that his father would just lose his temper and the matter would be over. But after hearing what he just said, he knew that the old man was really angry this time, so he walked over to the sofa next to his father and sat down.
"Dad, calm down first! They are still children. You watched Shaonan grow up. You should know his character very well. If he really promised you that he would be good to Xiaoxiao for the rest of his life, I believe he would do it! The two of them might be angry, so they did something stupid like divorce!"
Mr. Kang was furious. When he heard his son's words, he frowned and glared at Kang Zhenguo: "What are you talking about? He is 33 years old this year and is still a deputy division commander. You say he is still a child. Isn't the country blind? Letting such a person be a division commander is better off not having him!"
Liu Xiaoyun, who was standing by, immediately pleaded for his son upon hearing what his father-in-law said: "Dad, although Shaonan is divorced, we can still let them get back together! Please calm down first. You know Shaonan's character very well. He is not a heartless and ungrateful person. He and Xiaoxiao have two children. How can their relationship be broken off just like that? I promise you today that they can definitely get back together!"
It was the first time that Ren Zhiping saw Mr. Kang get so angry. She wanted to blame Kang Shaonan but she had nothing to say. After listening to Liu Xiaoyun, she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Yes! Old man, please calm down. We have all seen how Shaonan has treated Xiaoxiao since they got married. I don't believe Shaonan really wants to divorce our Xiaoxiao. They are angry, and they will definitely reconcile after both sides calm down for a while. If you really made a phone call, it would have a huge impact on Shaonan. After all, he is your grandson. You don't want to see his future affected, right?"
Ren Zhiping's words calmed Mr. Kang down a little. Even if he was taking advantage of his age, Ren Zhiping was a guest after all. He glared at his grandson on the sofa and lowered his voice: "Tell me the truth, who was the first to ask for a divorce?"
"I!" Kang Shaonan stiffened his neck and answered with his back straight. The look on his face made Old Man Kang unable to hold back his anger.
"You little bastard! You discussed it with us when you got married, but why didn't you tell us when you got divorced?" Kang Shaonan's words made Grandpa Kang so angry that he took his cane and hit his grandson's back hard several times, making a few dull thuds. When he raised the cane to hit him again, Liu Xiaoyun and Ren Zhiping took it away.
"Dad... He is your grandson after all, and a deputy division commander at that. How could you have the heart to do that to him?" Liu Xiaoyun felt pain in her heart when her father-in-law hit his son. She held on to Grandpa Kang's walking stick tightly, fearing that he would hit her again if he was not happy.
"Oh, old man, you are over eighty years old, why do you still have such a bad temper? How can you beat Shaonan, such a good child? Besides, it takes two to tango. Xiaoxiao of ours is also at fault! And it was not Shaonan who wanted to divorce, it was Xiaoxiao of ours who proposed it!" All of Ren Zhiping's anger was dissipated by the strokes of the cane by old man Kang.
"As a division commander, you can't even handle your own wife. You are unworthy of your position!" Mr. Kang loosened his crutches and sat back on the sofa, pointing at his grandson and lecturing him, "Your mother-in-law is here today. Give us a deadline. When will you remarry Xiaoxiao?"
"It depends!" Kang Shaonan answered calmly.
"This bastard!" The anger that Mr. Kang had just suppressed suddenly rose up again. He held on to the armrest of the sofa and tried to stand up again. Fortunately, Ren Zhiping and Liu Xiaoyun acted quickly, holding Mr. Kang down and comforting him: "Grandpa, don't worry about this. Xiaoxiao and Shaonan will definitely remarry. I promise you here! Don't be angry!"
"Shaonan! Look how angry your grandfather is. Come here and apologize!" Liu Xiaoyun glared at her son and yelled.
Kang Shaonan stood up from the sofa, walked to his grandfather and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, you know my character very well. Once I, Kang Shaonan, make a decision, no one can make me change it! We are divorced, and it is unfilial of me to make you angry, but I will not remarry Xiaoxiao! Dad, Mom, take good care of grandpa, I'm going back to the army first!" After Kang Shaonan finished speaking, he turned around and strode out of the living room of the villa. Even if old man Kang roared like thunder behind him, he was not shaken at all.
Kang Shaonan drove his SUV out of the villa and rushed towards the direction of the troops. Watching the city lights receding on both sides of the car, he raised and lowered his grip on the steering wheel slightly. After the car drove out for more than ten minutes, he picked up the mobile phone on the seat next to him and found the number he knew by heart. His fingers kept grinding on the confirmation button, his eyes flickered slightly, and finally he frowned and threw the phone back to its original place.
For some things, once you have made up your mind to do them, you must stick to it.
Since the news of her divorce from Kang Shaonan spread, Yu Xiao's life has not been peaceful. Her good friends An An and Xiao Tong, who had been busy dating, suddenly showed up and came to her tea shop every now and then, persuading her to remarry Kang Shaonan with earnest words. (To be continued)
