him to your best friend.” 。"She seems to be an orphan," he paused, then said with a hint of meaning, "Deep down, she must really want a family." 。"Well... Mom, I'll try to ask Ya Bai about it when I...Chapter 184: I Must Divorce Him
Half an hour later, the hospital
Mr. and Mrs. Tang entered Old Mr. Tang's ward.
An Xiaotu watched as in just ten days, the once lively and energetic Old Master Tang seemed to have aged ten years. His white hair turned whiter, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Her eyes welled up with tears as she realized the impact of Tang Sxiu's death on her grandfather was immense, almost crushing this old man.
"Grandpa, how are you feeling today Are there any aches or pains" Tang Yucheng wasn't good at expressing concern, he could only ask in a routine manner.
"It's nothing serious." Old Master Tang said calmly, lying half on the bed.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry I wasn't able to come see you these past few days." An Xiaotu lowered her head, saying very apologetically.
After the funeral, Tang Yucheng ordered her to stay home and recuperate, not even allowed to leave the house, let alone visit her grandfather.
Old Mr. Tang didn't look at her, his voice slightly cold as he said, "What are you apologizing for You haven't done anything wrong to me."
Anxiaotu knew the old man didn't like her, and although his cold words stung her heart a little, she didn't show it.
"Grandpa…" Tang Yu Cheng frowned slightly and called out.
"You go out, and I'll have a word with the little rabbit." Old Master Tang said in a commanding tone, brooking no argument.
Tang Yucheng looked at An Xiaotu with a worried expression. Seeing her give him a reassuring look, he hesitated for a moment before going out.
With Tang Yucheng and the old master's caregiver gone, only Mr. Tang and An Xiaotu remained in the spacious ward.
Mr. Tang's expression was cold, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said:
“I want you to divorce the second young master.”
An Xiaotu's face drained of color in an instant, her hands clenching tightly. Was her grandfather asking her to divorce Yu Cheng
She remembered the first time she went to the Tang family, her grandfather called her to his study. At that time, he also wanted her to divorce Yucheng, but later her grandfather said he didn't plan to let her divorce Yucheng anymore.
Now again...
“As for your marriage with Yucheng, I had intended to turn a blind eye; but Xiu died, and it was because of you. He even went so far as to tear himself away from the Second Young Master all for you, and the Second Young Master even wanted to send him abroad for you. He followed you to Japan, resulting in Xiu’s death overseas… Do you know this, An Xiaotu Xiu’s death has become a thorn in my heart. Every time I see you with Yucheng, it's a constant reminder that Xiu died because of you.”
Mr. Tang's eyes were filled with tears, his sorrowful words laced with resentment. "Si Xiu was my only grandson. I watched him grow up. He was so outstanding, he would definitely be no less than the Third Young Master or Second Young Master in the future. But he died because of you... I know the Second Young Master has feelings for you, but I can't accept you anymore. You go back and tell the Second Young Master to divorce you, and make sure he agrees."
"Grandpa, Grandpa, I..." An Xiaotu's heart panicked when she heard his unwavering and cold words.
This time, grandpa was absolutely serious about wanting her to divorce Yu Cheng.
"Don't call me Grandpa, from this moment on, I am no longer your grandfather, and I don't recognize you as the second mistress of the Tang family anymore. Don't come to see me again." The old Master Tang was so agitated that his words were a little incoherent. "Sis Xiu died for you, do you not feel even a bit guilty If you truly felt any guilt, then quickly get a divorce."
An Xiaotu bit her lip hard, her hands clenched tightly in her dress. She did feel guilty about Tang Sxiu's death, but the old man demanded she divorce Yucheng because of this guilt...
If she hadn't fallen for him, she would have agreed without hesitation. Now, however, she can't bring herself to let go so easily.
After a long silence, she gathered her courage and said, "I don't want to divorce Yucheng."
"Miss An, Xiu has already died because of you. Could it be that you still want to force me to die now" Old Master Tang said something extremely heavy.
An Xiao Rabbit's whole body trembled, her face paling to a terrifying degree. She never expected the old man to resort to such threats.
Indeed, Tangs Xiu died because of her, she couldn't let the old man die because of her again.
A sharp pain spread from her heart to her limbs, she closed her eyes and dug her nails into her palm, her voice heavy as she said, “I’m going back… I’ll tell Yu Cheng about the divorce.”
"It's not just a suggestion, it's imperative that he agrees." Old Master Tang corrected her words in a grave tone.
"Yes, I... understand."
An Xiaotu felt like every word she spoke was like stabbing a knife into her own heart, the pain making it hard to breathe.
"Get out, I want to rest." Satisfied with the response, Old Master Tang didn't say another word to her and directly ordered her to leave.
An Xiaotu suppressed the pain with all her might, slowly stood up, and bowed slightly to Lao Ye Lang.
"Then I'll be going, Mr. Tang. Please take care of yourself."
As she walked out of the ward and saw Tang Yucheng standing in the corridor, An Xiaotu's eyes welled up with tears. Thinking about how they had finally decided to spend their lives together after getting married, only to be separated now, her heart ached.
"What's wrong" Tang Yucheng saw her pale face and softened his voice.
An Xiaotu didn't speak, she just pursed her lips and shook her head, afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would cry.
Tang Yucheng pulled her hand just walked into the ward, before he could speak, he heard Grandpa Tang said, "Second Young Master, I need to rest, if there's nothing else, you guys can go back."
"Yes, then I won't disturb Grandpa's rest. We will go back first and come see you another day."
Mr. Tang waved his hand, and Tang Yucheng took An Xiaotu out of the ward.
Not until the maid returned from buying things did the two leave the hospital.
As soon as Tang Yucheng sat in the car, he leaned close to An Xiaotu and fiercely sealed her lips with his. His kiss was somewhat rough, laced with a hint of anger, as if punishing her.
He didn't leave her lips until she was nearly suffocating, then he pulled away with a cold, angry voice, "I will not divorce you."
An Xiaotu's body stiffened, "You..."
"I eavesdropped on your conversation with grandpa," Tang Yucheng admitted openly, not making any pretense of his underhanded actions.
An Xiaot Rabbit lowered her eyes, tears welling up in her eye sockets.
His deep affection moved her deeply, yet she didn't want him to go against his grandfather for her sake. She feared that his grandfather wouldn't be able to bear it anymore and something terrible might happen.
A Tang Si, she was already afraid.
"I won't stand idly by while Grandpa forces us to divorce. Rest assured, I know Grandpa can't handle any stress right now, so I won't confront him head-on." As if sensing her fear, Tang Yucheng reassured her, saying he had the little rabbit as a bargaining chip.
"With one meal, his expression immediately turned vicious. “But didn't we say never to mention divorce again An Xiaotu, you’re too fickle! Grandpa wants you to divorce, so you divorce. You silly fool!”
If she wasn't carrying a little rabbit in her belly, he'd really like to pin her down and give her a good beating.
She's been spoiled rotten! She actually dared to try and convince him to get a divorce!or a moment before solemnly answering, "Yes."This operation is no small matter. If there's any misstep, allowing such a large amount of drugs to flood North City, the damage would be incalculable.And...
