Let’s Divorce! - Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Divorce

Zhu Qian was very pleased with herself. It seemed that it was quite easy to drive a wedge between Mu Hua and Xia Ran!

If this continued, Mu Hua would gradually discover Xia Ran’s shortcomings and end things with her sooner.

The more Zhu Qian thought about it, the more relieved she felt. She should be able to become Mrs. Mu soon, right?

“Why don’t I go? I don’t want you guys to be in conflict because of me.” She was still pretending to be kind as she felt her way downstairs.

Mu Hua pulled her back. “No, go get some rest.”

Zhu Qian didn’t insist, but she knew that she had to establish an understanding and forbearing image in Mu Hua’s heart.

This way, compared to Xia Ran, she would seem even more outstanding.

After Xia Ran ran out, she didn’t know where to go. She could only wander aimlessly on the road.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She felt like she hadn’t done anything wrong. Why was she the one leaving?

At this time of night, she had to find a hotel to stay in. Otherwise, it was a little dangerous to be out here alone.

Not long after she checked into the hotel, there was a knock on the door. She thought it might be Mu Hua, but when she opened it, she saw a small card. Disappointed, she picked it up and threw it in the trash.

Mu Hua probably wouldn’t come looking for her. Now that he had Zhu Qian, who was she to him?

Her phone rang. Surprisingly, it was Mu Hua. Out of spite, she hung up without hesitation.

Xia Ran rejected all three calls.

Mu Hua was furious. He had never been so accommodating to someone before. Xia Ran had always been willful, but because he was worried, he still wanted to call and ask where she was to pick her up. However, Xia Ran refused to answer his call.

“She isn’t answering her phone? Is she at a friend’s place?” Zhu Qian asked. She didn’t want to rest and insisted on hanging around Mu Hua.

“Yes.” Mu Hua was very sulky. He felt that Xia Ran was willful and inconsiderate at all.

“She’s still too young. She’s just a little girl. Don’t argue with her. Send someone to look for her.” Zhu Qian acted as if she was especially concerned about Xia Ran.

However, Mu Hua didn’t want to coax Xia Ran anymore. He was usually so busy with work that he didn’t have much time for relationships. Perhaps choosing Xia Ran to marry was a mistake in the first place because she was still too young.

Back then, he was annoyed by his family urging him to get married and he didn’t have a suitable candidate for the time being, so he prepared to find a woman who was easy to control to pretend to get married to in order to appease his family. Coincidentally, Xia Ran often appeared in front of him at that time, so he had a candidate in mind.

Mu Hua felt that it would be easy to get a divorce with a female university student after they got married.

To his surprise, Xia Ran readily agreed and the two of them quickly got married.

Unexpectedly, Xia Ran was getting more and more willful and didn’t know her place. He was already a little tired of her.

“Forget it. She and I were a mistake in the first place. The sooner we get divorced, the better.” Mu Hua shook his head wearily.

Zhu Qian was overjoyed. She had been waiting for this day. She couldn’t wait for Mu Hua and Xia Ran to get a divorce immediately. She would be able to replace Xia Ran and become Mrs. Mu immediately.

Mu Hua called his secretary. “Get a lawyer to draft a divorce settlement immediately.”

“Yes, President Mu.”

Soon, a draft of the divorce agreement was sent to Mu Hua’s email. He checked it, amended it, and asked his secretary to print it out and send it to him the next morning.

The divorce papers were in Mu Hua’s hands the next day.

In the hotel, Xia Ran received a call from Mu Hua. This time, she answered. She thought that Mu Hua wanted to coax her to return, but he said in a cold voice, “Where are you? Come back and sign the divorce agreement.”

Divorce agreement? Hearing these words, Xia Ran instantly sobered up, and her heart tightened.

Mu Hua was divorcing her? He was no longer waiting two years?

“You want to divorce me?” Xia Ran’s voice was quivering. “Is it because of Zhu Qian?”

“No matter what, come back and sign it now. I’ll compensate you.” Mu Hua could hear the quiver in Xia Ran’s voice. He couldn’t bear it, but he felt that he had to be resolute.

If this continued, he and Xia Ran would only quarrel endlessly and waste time.

Xia Ran had cried the entire night last night and was already immersed in her sorrow. When she heard Mu Hua’s words, her tears couldn’t help but roll down her cheeks again. She cried until she was out of breath. “Alright, I agree to the divorce. I won’t go back. Wait for me at the Civil Affairs Bureau with the divorce agreement. I’ll go over later…”
