My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 841: 841, a face that looks cuckolded [first update]

“Tell me, what exactly are you planning to do about this matter?” On the stairs, Tang Yiwen stood with his hands on his aging waist, a stern look on his old face.

Yan Shunhua’s brows were tightly knit, “Uncle Tang, I will make a trip to the Eastern Alliance at the end of August…”

“The end of August?” Tang Yiwen’s voice suddenly rose, “Don’t you think that’s too late?”

“But…”

“Tell me, when did you come back to see Wanwan?” Tang Yiwen interrupted her.

“April…”

“So from April until now, for over two whole months, you haven’t acknowledged your daughter?”

Yan Shunhua was somewhat inarticulate, “No, that’s not it, I… I meant to…”

“Not only do you not acknowledge your daughter, but you also conspired with her husband to deceive her. Do you think that’s an act a person should be capable of?” Tang Yiwen didn’t hesitate to accuse her.

“Uncle Tang, this is all my fault, you don’t know about Ashen…”

“I don’t know!” Tang Yiwen waved his hand dismissively, “I only know that my little apprentice has lived for a whole twenty years without a mother, and has been called an illegitimate child for a full twenty years. What she’s been through in the Su Family all these years, do I need to spell it out in detail for you?”

Yan Shunhua’s eyes were already red, her voice choked with sobs, “I know, it’s all my fault, I have wronged her…”

“You have wronged her, but do you know what your biggest mistake is?” Tang Yiwen rebuked her harshly, “Regardless of your reasons back then, since you decided to come back, you should have gone to find her immediately, clarified the whole truth, instead of continuing to hide it. How is what you’re doing any different from lying?”

“…” Yan Shunhua was at a loss for words.

Tang Yiwen was far from appeased, “Especially that brat Huo Jingshen. He actually agreed to marry her over a measly share of the Eastern Alliance. Poor little apprentice of mine, she knows nothing at all, thinking she’s found a good husband, always protecting him. Little did she realize that all of this was a scheme planned by you, her own mother…”

“Master.”

Su Wanwan’s voice suddenly rang out at this moment.

The agitated Tang Yiwen immediately stiffened.

Yan Shunhua’s expression froze instantly as well.

This public hospital offered only mediocre conditions, the doors to the stairwell didn’t close properly, but they were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t notice Su Wanwan had been standing at the door, listening for quite some time, and had heard every single word clearly.

Tang Yiwen hurried to open the door.

In the corridor, Su Wanwan stood there.

In one hand she held a wallet, and in the other a cell phone, and her eyes, stark in black and white, rested on Yan Shunhua’s face.

Then she said softly, “Master, is what you just said true?”

“Little apprentice.” Tang Yiwen rushed forward, “You heard it all?”

Su Wanwan nodded, “Yes, I heard everything.”

Her voice was still relatively calm.

But the pallor on her face and the conflict in her eyes made Tang Yiwen unable to stay calm, “Little apprentice, since you’ve heard everything, just calm down, listen to me explain everything slowly…”

“Wanwan…” Yan Shunhua had just called out.

“Don’t call me!”

Yan Shunhua’s complexion instantly turned white, and she dared not speak another word.

She never imagined things would turn out like this.

She had merely sent a WeChat message to Su Wanwan, knowing that she was at this hospital for an IV, and since it wasn’t far from the set, and the afternoon’s filming was nearly done, she wanted to take a moment to visit her. But she hadn’t expected…

“Right, you don’t speak first!” Tang Yiwen also shouted at Yan Shunhua, then softened his voice as he continued to soothe Su Wanwan, “Little apprentice…”

“Your wallet.” Su Wanwan raised her hand.

“Ah? Oh.” Tang Yiwen was taken aback, quickly reaching to take it, “Little apprentice…”

But Su Wanwan turned and walked away.

Tang Yiwen was startled, “Little apprentice, where are you going?”

Yan Shunhua hurried after her, “Wanwan! Wanwan, just wait a moment…”

The footsteps from behind made Su Wanwan’s heart rush, and her steps suddenly quickened.

She was running so fast that by the time Tang Yiwen caught up, he found she had already gone down the stairs.

Tang Yiwen also wanted to chase after her right away, but then he heard the painful cry of Yan Shunhua from behind.

“Ma’am, are you all right?”

Tang Yiwen didn’t want to bother with her, but…

He stopped in his tracks and turned back, “What happened to you?”

A nurse was holding onto Yan Shunhua, who wore mid-heel leather shoes, obviously having twisted her ankle without paying attention.

“Really good for nothing, only capable of causing trouble!”

Yan Shunhua’s face was sweating cold with pain, and she didn’t dare to retort upon hearing this, “Uncle Tang, please go after Wanwan. I’m afraid something will happen to her…”

“Now you think of worrying, too late!” Tang Yiwen couldn’t control his temper, “I told you at noon that such things can’t be covered up, plans can’t keep up with changes, and now look what’s happened, the secret’s out. Let’s see how you explain this to her!”

“I… I didn’t know it would turn out like this…” Yan Shunhua began to cry as she spoke, “Uncle Tang, can you please go after Wanwan first? I really can’t let anything happen to her…”

“Enough, go see a doctor right away; don’t end up crippling yourself.” Tang Yiwen interrupted her.

This little temper of mine!

If only I’d held back just now. Why did I lose my temper at Yan Shunhua in the hospital, and let my apprentice overhear it…

But thinking about it now is useless. Tang Yiwen spoke quickly, “I’ll go after my apprentice; remember to call that brat right away and tell him to come back and clear things up!”

“Okay.” Tears streaming down her face, Yan Shunhua hurriedly took out her phone to make a call.

It was morning in the United Kingdom, and the call connected after a few rings.

“Ashen, something’s gone wrong…” Yan Shunhua cried as she spoke, “Wanwan knows everything now, what do we do, what can we do now?”

**

Su Wanwan ran all the way from the third floor to the first floor in one go.

She wanted to drive away, but then remembered she had left her car keys in the ward.

So she ran out of the hospital and flagged down a taxi on the roadside.

“Young lady, where to?”

Su Wanwan stared blankly at the driver.

Where to?

Where should she go?

“Young lady?”

Her voice hoarse, Su Wanwan said, “Just drive.”

“…Okay.”

The driver quickly drove off.

Su Wanwan turned to look out the window, as the conversations between Tang Yiwen and Yan Shunhua began to echo repeatedly in her ears.

“So from April until now, for a whole two months, you haven’t acknowledged your own daughter?”

“Not only do you not acknowledge her, but you also collude with her husband to deceive her; do you think that’s something a human would do?”

“Especially Huo Jingshen, that brat; he actually agreed to marry her just for the shares in the Eastern Alliance, and poor my apprentice doesn’t know anything…”

No wonder, as a third-year college student, she could enter a film and television company that others can only dream of…

No wonder Yan Shunhua was inexplicably nice to her…

No wonder everyone says Yan Shunhua looks a lot like her…

No wonder her master always wanted to talk to Huo Jingshen…

No wonder Huo Jingshen married her out of the blue…

No wonder…

Ha ha.

So everything was a scheme they concocted together!

Su Wanwan suddenly couldn’t help but want to laugh.

In fact, she did laugh, but as she laughed, her eyes turned red, a sense of grievance… spreading and overflowing uncontrollably from her chest.

When the tears started to flow, she immediately reached out and fiercely wiped them away…

“Miss, are you okay?” asked the curious driver, looking at the rearview mirror.

“Just drive!”

Driver: “…”

Next.

“Liar!”

“Scumbag!”

“Bastard!”

“Stupid man!”

“Shameless!”

Driver again: “…”

It looked like the young lady had just had her heart broken, and the sting was no small matter.

The sound of a cell phone ringtone broke the silence.

Su Wanwan, with tear-blurred eyes, picked up the phone.

As soon as she saw the words “Husband” displayed, she promptly pressed to hang up.

The WeChat call soon came through again.

Su Wanwan kept hanging up.

On the third ring, she simply pressed the power button and shut down the phone.

**

United Kingdom.

In the living room, the sophisticated and mature man stared at his phone screen, frowning deeply.

It displayed a message that the call could not be connected due to extended ringing…

He put down the phone, then turned around immediately.

“Whose call was it?” Fu Xihan teased from the bar, “Why do you look like you’ve been cuckolded?”

Huo Jingshen picked up his suit jacket, “I’m going back to Nancheng.”

“Go ahead, it’s not like you’re not allowed to return,” Fu Xihan quipped nonchalantly, taking a sip of red wine.

But when Huo Jingshen called the airline and even changed his flight to one departing in two hours…

Fu Xihan set down his wine glass, “No way, did you really get cuckolded by your wife?”

Huo Jingshen gave him a cold look and hung up the phone.

“Look on the bright side, women are everywhere. Whatever type you want…”

“The day after tomorrow, you bring Huo Jinghua back to Nancheng,” Huo Jingshen interrupted.

“I won’t!” Fu Xihan’s refusal was even more straightforward.

“…” Huo Jingshen stared at his friend with a warning look, “If that’s the case, I’ll change her ticket right now.”

Fu Xihan, completely unfazed by his brother-in-law’s threat, said, “She just fell asleep, are you sure you want to wake her up?”

He spread his hands, “Then it’s on you to soothe her later.”

Although Huo Jinghua doesn’t remember anything now and has the mental capacity of a five-year-old, she has a very severe case of waking up on the wrong side of the bed.

If she’s not coaxed for half the day, she will not be in a good mood.

And only Fu Xihan could do the coaxing; others, even Huo Jingshen, her own brother, couldn’t manage it.

But this business of coaxing someone…

Especially coaxing a five-year-old little girl…

Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes and conceded, “One week, that’s my final offer.”

“Oh?” Fu Xihan curved his mouth playfully, “Then I’ll consider it.”

Huo Jingshen was too tired to bargain anymore and quickly left.

**

On this end.

Tang Yiwen called a taxi and finally returned to the Imperial Court villa after two hours.

“Has my little apprentice come back?”

The maid, Aunt Han, answered, “Madam Huo hasn’t returned.”

“Hasn’t returned?” Tang Yiwen was terribly anxious, “Then quickly call her and ask where she is!”

“Okay.”

Aunt Han immediately dialed Su Wanwan’s number, but after less than two seconds, she put down the phone, “Madam Huo’s phone is off.”

“What!” Tang Yiwen paced anxiously in the living room, “What should we do, she’s such a young girl, and so beautiful, I hope nothing has happened to her.”

Even though he had taught Su Wanwan quite a few self-defense techniques, she was still a young girl. If she, in her sorrow, went to drown her sorrows and encountered some ill-intentioned scoundrel…

“Old Master Tang, what exactly happened to Madam Huo?” Aunt Han asked.

“Sigh, even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand!” Tang Yiwen was deeply worried, “Do you have her friends’ numbers? Call them all, see if she’s with them!”

Aunt Han replied, “I only have Mr. Huo’s number, but he’s currently away on a business trip…”

“Then quickly call that brat and tell him his wife is gone! Make him think of something fast!”

Aunt Han: “…Okay.”

Tang Yiwen sat down on the sofa in a huff, waiting for the maid to finish the call, “What did that brat say?”

“Mr. Huo said he’s about to board the plane and should arrive in Nancheng tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow? By tomorrow it’ll all be over!” Tang Yiwen exploded, “One by one, they’re all so damn unreliable!”

Aunt Han watched him, “Old Master Tang, don’t worry, I’m sure Madam Huo will be fine, she’s not a child…”

“Give me your phone!”

“…Okay.”

Tang Yiwen took Aunt Han’s phone and dialed Su Wanwan’s mobile number.

As expected.

[Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off.]

He pressed “End Call,” then “Redial,” while commanding, “Go ahead and start preparing dinner, make some dishes my little apprentice loves.”

The little apprentice was a foodie; seeing so many delicious dishes upon her return would cheer her up. With some cajoling, she should be fine.

“Make extra!” Tang Yiwen ordered again.

Aunt Han: “…Okay.”

Once Aunt Han left, Tang Yiwen doggedly kept redialing, ending the call, redialing, ending the call…

Persistence pays off.

Finally, the call surprisingly connected.

Tang Yiwen quickly called out, “Little apprentice, where are you? Are you okay? Your master is worried to death about you…”
