CHAPTER 468: CHAPTER 470 DIVORCE

Xia Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had exposed Sun Yuhua, she didn’t regret it and had been tolerating her for a while. If Sun Yuhua hadn’t come that day to ask to raise her child, Xia Xiao might have kept her secret for a lifetime.

But just now, Xia Xiao really exploded with anger, she had the urge to beat Sun Yuhua to death.

Others say twins shouldn’t be raised together, but Xia Xiao didn’t believe it. Moreover, even if she couldn’t raise her own children, there was no way she would let Sun Yuhua raise them.

When Gao Guoqiang came back, he heard from Zheng Xianghong that Sun Yuhua was still crying in the room.

Upon hearing the whole story from Zheng Xianghong, Gao Guoqiang also got angry, "Let her go wherever she wants, the Gao Family Temple is too small to accommodate that big Buddha."

Gao Guoqiang was very angry to say such words. Sun Yuhua’s miscarriage had troubled the whole family and even caused everyone to be in a bad mood. They didn’t expect it was Sun Yuhua who had aborted the child; how could they not be angry?

At night, Weilin fell asleep at Zheng Xianghong’s place. Gao Jiazhi didn’t come back, and no one knew where he stayed that night.

Sun Yuhua was still crying in the room, and although her voice was soft, Xia Xiao lived next door and, thanks to her sharp ears, found the sounds very annoying—especially in the middle of the night, like the calling of spirits, making anyone listening feel irritable.

Gao Jiaxing tried several times to go out and say something, but Xia Xiao stopped him. After all, Sun Yuhua and Gao Jiazhi were getting divorced, so there was no need to pay her any further attention; her crying was just a one-night affair.

Early the next morning, Gao Jiaxing was to return to the Capital. Xia Xiao silently took out some money and told Gao Jiaxing, "Go find a house to buy."

Gao Jiaxing’s eyes widened with surprise, "Do we have that much money in the family?"

"How could we not? This is the money you and I saved together. Over the years, we’ve hardly spent any money. There should be some to use," Xia Xiao said.

Thinking about it, Gao Jiaxing realized it was not a small amount of money, but he still took it, planning to inquire later on to see if they could buy a smaller house—that would be enough, as long as it was sufficient for the family to live in.

"If you can’t find a house near Capital University, rent one nearby for me first. That way, when we move up there, we’ll have a place to stay," Xia Xiao told him.

Gao Jiaxing raised an eyebrow at Xia Xiao, "You’re that confident about getting into First University?"

Xia Xiao confidently lifted her chin, "Of course, I’m certain I can get into First University." It was only a matter of how many points she would score; Xia Xiao was aiming for the title of top scorer.

"Okay then, wife, go for it," Gao Jiaxing encouraged and kissed Xia Xiao.

Xia Xiao added, "This money won’t buy a house near First University, so just find a suitable house to buy for now. Maybe the property value will increase later, or someone might buy it for a higher price, and then we’ll have the money to buy a house near First University."

Gao Jiaxing nodded, wrapped the money in a cloth, and then went to Zheng Xianghong’s room to find a needle and thread so he could sew it into his undershirt.

Xia Xiao said, "Let me do the sewing."

"No need, I can do it myself." Gao Jiaxing was taking no chances—after all, it was a significant amount of money and it pertained to his family’s housing. He didn’t feel secure putting it in his pocket or in his luggage, so he took it very seriously, removed his undershirt, and began sewing with the needle.

Watching Gao Jiaxing’s actions, Xia Xiao’s mouth twitched. A soldier handling needle and thread was something she didn’t know whether to criticize or laugh at, yet the scene before her felt oddly intriguing.

Xia Xiao’s lips curled into a smile, thinking that if anyone saw this, they’d be utterly shocked.

Gao Jiaxing finished sewing quickly, and Xia Xiao said, "Let me have a look."

Gao Jiaxing put away the thread and needle and handed it over. Xia Xiao scrutinized the work closely and raised her eyebrows, "You’ve got good skills. From now on, if there’s a missing button or a tear in your clothes, you can sew it yourself."

Gao Jiaxing broke into a sweat, "That won’t be necessary." He didn’t mind sewing occasionally, but the idea of doing it regularly made Gao Jiaxing shake his head.

Xia Xiao laughed, "Alright, let’s get going. You have to go to the county first and then catch a train to the provincial city. Don’t be late."

After Gao Jiaxing left, he instructed Xia Xiao to look after the child and to be cautious of Sun Yuhua, in case Sun Yuhua went out of her mind and did something terrible.

Although Sun Yuhua appeared normal at present, one couldn’t guarantee she wouldn’t act out in anger.

Gao Jiaxing couldn’t ask for more leave, so early in the morning Xia Xiao hurried him to leave.

As soon as Gao Jiaxing was gone, Xia Xiao felt a void in her heart, but she couldn’t concern herself with Gao Jiaxing. Weilin was with Zheng Xianghong, and Xia Xiao focused on looking after her sons and playing with the kids in the house.

Gao Jiazhi, meanwhile, was urging Sun Yuhua to get a divorce. Sun Yuhua was reluctant, to which Gao Jiazhi said, "Don’t make this more ugly than it has to be."

"Jiazhi, how can you be so heartless? No matter what, I am still Weilin’s mother." Sun Yuhua looking sorrowfully at the ruthless Gao Jiazhi. The forced divorce was taking a heavy toll on her.

And so, Sun Yuhua and Gao Jiazhi divorced. When she came back to take her belongings, Sun Yuhua rushed to Xia Xiao’s door, glaring at her with hatred, "You’ve ruined everything for me."

"Heh," Xia Xiao laughed coldly, "You brought this upon yourself. You’ve turned your marriage into this mess, and instead of reflecting, you blame others. If you always carry this attitude, treating yourself like a princess, expecting everyone to pamper you, and only think about what others should do for you while unwilling to do anything yourself, then no matter who you marry, you won’t be happy. No one here owes you anything. Take care of yourself."

After saying this, Xia Xiao closed the door firmly and said no more.

Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong said nothing. They didn’t know what to say to Sun Yuhua anymore. After she packed her bags, she said to Gao Jiazhi, "You will regret this."

"Whether I will regret this in the future, I don’t know, but at this moment, I don’t," Gao Jiazhi said, determined to end the marriage. He no longer wanted to share a room with Sun Yuhua. Thinking of the lost child made Gao Jiazhi sad and unable to continue the marriage.

Moreover, having been married for so many years, even a stone would have warmed up by now, but Sun Yuhua’s heart was cold. She had no space for him or this family in her heart, always keeping a clear distinction. Gao Jiazhi couldn’t bear it any longer, nor could he forgive her.

"Don’t think that without you I can’t find someone better. You just wait, I’ll definitely live better than all of you," Sun Yuhua said through clenched teeth, picking up her luggage and leaving.

Gao Jiazhi watched Sun Yuhua’s erect silhouette, saw Weilin appear at the corner, and then rushed towards Sun Yuhua.

"Mommy, don’t go." Even though she knew her parents were separating, in that moment Weilin panicked as she watched Sun Yuhua walking away with her luggage.

"It’s too late. If you really wanted mommy, why didn’t you say so yesterday? Now you come running." Sun Yuhua still blamed her daughter, thinking that if she had cried and pleaded yesterday, the divorce wouldn’t have gone through. So now, she said coldly, "Go back. Live with your dad. I will act as if I don’t have a daughter."

With that, Sun Yuhua pried off Weilin’s hand and walked away with her head held high, not looking back.
