After rebirth, Mrs. Huo only wanted a divorce

Hearing Qiao Shinian's question, Huo Yushan answered truthfully, "When we were in Country Y, Uncle Sun would always take time to visit us at home, and sometimes he would even treat us to a meal."

"He often gives me gifts, but my mother will help me refuse anything that is too expensive."

"Do you like him?" Qiao Shinian was a little curious.

Huo's mother said that Sun Haowen was once her father's apprentice and had always had a good relationship with her and her family. Moreover, the fact that Sun Haowen had not married in these years was obviously related to Huo's mother.

Huo's mother and father didn't divorce even though their relationship was so strained. Was it for their children?

Huo Yushan stole a glance behind her before she said softly, "Uncle Sun cares about me and my mom, but I don't like him very much. Many of the times my mom and dad quarreled were because of Uncle Sun."

"I don't like my parents quarreling." Huo Yushan said sadly.

Qiao Shinian rubbed Huo Yushan's hair distressedly, "Their conflict was not caused by you, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden. If you are unhappy in the future, just call me."

Huo Yushan nodded obediently, "Yes."

After getting in the car, Qiao Shinian sent Huo Yushan back to Huo Garden.

Huo Yushan has been out for more than two days, and it is time to go back as agreed.

The car entered Huo Garden, and Qiao Shinian accompanied Huo Yushan out of the car.

Just as he was about to go in, he saw Huo Yuanze walking out.

Huo Yuanze was wearing a dark Tang suit-style gown. Perhaps because he had just recovered from an illness, he did not look as vigorous as before, but his aura was still strong.

They met face to face, and Qiao Shinian couldn't pretend not to see it, so she called out "Mr. Huo" in a distant tone.

Huo Yushan also called softly, "Dad."

Huo Yuanze said "hmm" but he didn't know who he was responding to. Then he asked Huo Yushan, "Why are you so dirty?"

Huo Yuanze's voice was not loud, but Huo Yushan still became nervous. She subconsciously moved closer to Qiao Shinian.

Qiao Shinian held Huo Yushan's hand and took the initiative to explain: "Mr. Huo, Yushan hugged the cat and got some cat hair on her. She just needs to wash it and change clothes later."

Huo Yuanze looked at Qiao Shinian unhappily, "You are good at winning people's hearts. Not only does the old lady support you, but even Yu Shan is so obedient to you. Why, is this the way you rely on?"

Qiao Shinian said calmly, "I'm just speaking the truth. Mr. Huo, Yushan didn't do anything wrong. You don't have to be so serious when talking to her."

Huo Yuanze glanced at his somewhat nervous daughter, but didn't say anything. Instead, he snorted coldly at Qiao Shinian.

"You keep saying that Li Shuyan's character is bad, but yours is good? Some time ago, there were so many troubles with that Song guy in North City, and Yan Ci was almost implicated by you!"

Last time, while netizens were gossiping about her, they also dug up the fact that she and Huo Yanci were once husband and wife. If the trending searches had not been removed quickly and the matter had not been handled in a timely manner, public opinion would have indeed affected Huo Yanci.

"Sorry, I'll pay more attention next time."

After saying that, Qiao Shinian saw Fang Qianru approaching, and without saying anything more to Huo Yuanze, he took Huo Yushan's hand and walked towards Fang Qianru.

Huo Yuanze took a look inside and left without any expression.

"mom."

Huo Yushan was missing her mother after all, so she leaned on Fang Qianru's shoulder.

Fang Qianru pinched her cheek and said lovingly, "I thought you were having so much fun with your sister that you forgot about mom."

"I won't!"

Then several people entered the hall. Huo Yushan shared with Fang Qianru the places she and Qiao Shinian had been to and the food they had eaten in the past two days. She was in a very good mood.

Fang Qianru thanked Qiao Shinian for taking care of Huo Yushan in the past two days. "I was worried that Yushan was not in good condition before, but now she seems to be doing well. Shinian, thank you."

"Aunt, you don't have to be so polite. I didn't do anything. Yushan has grown up and knows how to regulate her emotions."

As they were talking, the servant came back with Huo Yushan's dog. Huo Yushan called the dog's name and happily started petting the dog.

Qiao Shinian took the opportunity to mention what happened when he met Sun Haowen in the pet shop.

Fang Qianru was a little surprised, "Why is he there?"

Qiao Shinian said, "He said he wanted to come visit you and Yushan, so he went there to buy some food and daily necessities for Yushan's puppy as a gift."

"Aunt, he recognized me at first sight. Have you ever told him about Huo Yanci and me?" Qiao Shinian asked.

Fang Qianru smiled gently, "I met you at an event. You just won an award and it was being replayed on TV, so I mentioned it to him."

Qiao Shinian always felt that it was a coincidence that Sun Haowen went to the pet shop.

Sun Haowen had appeared at the racecourse, and when Yin Xiaoshi was bribed, Sun Haowen also appeared at the park where the contact person was.

Although Huo Yanci had checked and found that Sun Haowen had a legitimate reason to go there, Qiao Shinian still felt something was wrong.

"Aunt, Yushan said that when you were in Country Y, Uncle Sun took good care of you. Aren't you touched by his waiting for you all these years?" Qiao Shinian asked.

Qiao Shinian also asked Fang Qianru about Sun Haowen. Fang Qianru never blamed her for being nosy, so Qiao Shinian became bolder.

Fang Qianru didn't feel offended by her question, and said in a normal tone: "Shi Nian, I once told you that Sun Haowen is like a relative in my heart."

The implication is that Fang Qianru has never had any romantic feelings for Sun Haowen, so the fact that Sun Haowen has not married for so many years must be a kind of pressure for Fang Qianru.

"I advised him, but he always said he hadn't met the right person."

Fang Qianru saw what Qiao Shinian was thinking, and she said with a little sadness, "Sun Haowen's mother was kind to me, and I can't say anything too harsh to him."

Hearing this, Qiao Shinian understood Fang Qianru's feelings.

She is married with two children, and has a persistent suitor. It is difficult for her to turn against him because he has done her a favor and he has not done anything excessive.

"Aunt, I don't mean to pry into your privacy. I'm just a little curious about Mr. Sun." Qiao Shinian said truthfully.

Fang Qianru shook her head. "It doesn't matter. I've said before that this is not a taboo. Yan Ci probably has doubts in his heart, but he would never ask me these questions. The fact that you ask me shows that you don't treat me as an outsider."

Qiao Shinian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Aunt, can you tell me about Mr. Sun?"

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, Fang Qianru did not object. She even sighed softly, "Shi Nian, what you want to know is why I didn't divorce Yan Ci's father?"

Qiao Shinian really wanted to know. There seemed to be no love between them, and Fang Qianru had taken Huo Yushan abroad for so many years, but she had always chosen not to divorce. Why was that?

Qiao Shinian smiled sheepishly, "Aunt, I am quite curious, but I am not asking about Mr. Sun's situation to find out why you don't want to divorce."

Fang Qianru was a little surprised, "Really?"
