My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 441: 441, thank you, husband.

Mo Weiyi blinked a few times, a look of innocence on his face.

Finally, Xiao Yebai took his gaze away and started the car.

“To the old house,” his voice was flat, as if devoid of any emotion.

Mo Weiyi put his black umbrella by his feet and let out a silent sigh of relief. “Oh.”

Why does it seem like Xiaobai is getting more jealous?

Is it an illusion?

It must be an illusion!

In the reading room.

Su Wanwan reviewed “Introduction to Communication Studies” once again until her phone lit up.

She immediately got up, packed up her books, took her umbrella, and left.

Tonight was Huo Juncheng’s birthday. It was not a significant birthday, and given that the patriarch’s health was not good, they just had a family banquet at the Zhejiang Cuisine Restaurant. Only family members were invited.

…

Around six o’clock in the evening, Huo Jingshen parked the car in the shopping mall’s underground parking lot.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw some familiar faces emerging from a black Mercedes across the way.

“Ashen.” Huo Qinyu greeted him first. Seeing Su Wanwan, her smile altered slightly, yet she nevertheless called out, “Wanwan.”

Xing Guozhi and Xing Siqing also quickly came over. The former was very polite in his greetings while Xing Siqing just said “big brother” and quickly turned her head away.

They went into the lobby and waited for the elevator. Huo Jingshen courteously allowed the elders to go in first.

Standing by his side, Su Wanwan held his arm, playing the part of an obedient wife.

Watching this, Xing Siqing gritted her teeth in anger.

Such a hypocritical bitch!

Her brother got transferred to Jiangcheng for work, Su Yanyan was sent off to South Korea, yet here she was, enjoying her life more than ever. Very pleased with herself indeed!

Just you wait, it won’t be long before I have you thrown out of the Huo family. Then, there will be nowhere for you to cry!

**

Everyone else had arrived in the private room.

The Huo Family had not gathered like this in a long time. It was lively with everyone present.

The moment Huo Zhexi saw Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan enter, he immediately lowered his head and pretended to play with his phone.

He’d been living on tenterhooks for the past week, fearing that his parents would suddenly bring up the issue about the hot springs club.

He didn’t really want to come tonight, but it was his father’s birthday, and with his brother Huo Nuanyang stationed in the military and unable to come, it would have been very unbecoming for him not to attend.

Now he could only keep his head down and pray in silence.

Looking at her son, Mingzhu was surprisingly pleased. It was rare to see this bad boy acting so obediently.

“Uncle, this is the gift I’ve brought for you.” Xing Siqing approached him sweetly.

Having previously clashed with Su Wanwan, she was now trying very hard to win the favor of the Huo Family.

Huo Juncheng accepted her gift and, just as he put it aside, she added, “It’s your favorite golf club set from pliihap. I placed the order a month ago.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Juncheng was pleasantly surprised. “So Siqing knows I like playing golf.”

“Of course.” Xing Siqing smiled demurely. “I also know that you love drinking tea. I bought some top-quality Dragon Well tea, but the delivery was delayed by the manufacturer. If it wasn’t for that, I would have brought two gifts tonight.”

Her words delighted the birthday man, earning her much praise.

The other guests followed with their gifts.

When Huo Jingshen presented his gift, Xing Siqing suddenly asked, “Didn’t Wanwan prepare a gift?”

Huo Qinyu immediately nudged her, warning her with her eyes.

But Xing Siqing just pouted and said in a pitiful voice, “Mom, why did you push me? I was just curious, can’t I ask a question?”

She turned to Su Wanwan again, “What gift did you prepare for Uncle? Do tell.”

Su Wanwan remained silent, not answering.

She had been busy preparing for the term-end exams at school lately and had rarely been home. She hadn’t even thought of a gift. However, Huo Jingshen had taken care of it all beforehand, saying there was no need for her to do so.

But who would have thought, he’d only prepared one gift…

It’s common for a couple to give a joint gift, especially when Huo Jingshen’s gift was expensive. But now that Xing Siqing had pointed it out like this, it looked somewhat bad.

Huo Juncheng quickly intervened, “Wanwan is still studying. Her gift was presented by Ashen already.”

“That’s right, as long as the thought is there,” added Mingzhu, laughing.

Clearly, the couple was siding with Su Wanwan.

Nodding, Xing Siqing acted like she understood, “True, I forgot that Wanwan doesn’t have an income yet.”

Su Wanwan curled her lips into a forced smile, watching Xing Siqing. Just as she was about to speak, Huo Jingshen’s hand rested on her shoulder.

Looking down at her tenderly, he said affectionately, “Baby, why are you so forgetful? Did you leave the gift in the car?”

Su Wanwan was stunned.

What gift?

Before she could express her doubts, Huo Jingshen suddenly narrowed his eyes, looking towards the corner of the room, “Zhexi.”

Huo Zhexi was pretending not to be present, but hearing this voice was no exaggeration, it was like hearing Yama calling his name, causing him to shiver in fear. He quickly stood.

“Big Brother!”

His loud voice startled everyone in the room.

Mingzhu furrowed her brows.

What on earth was with this child?

Why was he so jumpy?

Huo Jingshen casually pulled out car keys, tossed them gracefully towards him, “Go and fetch your sister-in-law’s gift.”

Huo Zhexi quickly fumbled for the car keys. At the same time, he let out a sigh of relief, “Sure, big brother, I’ll go right away!”

Grabbing his coat, he hurried out almost hopping.

Damn!

He had been scared to death, assuming he would be questioned about his visit to the hot springs resort. Luckily, he was just sent to retrieve something from the car.

…

Xing Siqing bit her lip, feeling extremely annoyed.

Earlier in the elevator, she had carefully observed that Huo Jingshen only carried one bag, and indeed only gave out one gift. So, she deliberately said those things, hoping to embarrass Su Wanwan. She didn’t expect…

Still not convinced, she asked, “So, what gift has Wanwan prepared for uncle?”

How the hell should I know? Su Wanwan thought but remained silent.

Huo Jingshen smiled slightly, “Siqing, what did you just call her?”

Xing Siqing’s face immediately stiffened.

Huo Qinyu’s face changed, she reprimanded quickly, “Siqing, don’t be impolite, address her as sister-in-law.”

Xing Siqing had no intention to address Su Wanwan as such, but Huo Qinyu sternly pinched her and warned in a low voice, “What did I just tell you?”

All the elders were watching.

Xing Siqing gritted her teeth and forced herself to say, “Big brother, I was wrong, I was just used to it, don’t mind it.”

Huo Jingshen nodded in satisfaction, “There are laws in the country, there are rules in the family. If you’re not accustomed to them, you should practice more. Your sister-in-law is generous, but that doesn’t mean the younger generations can call her by her name.”

“I got it.” Xing Siqing lowered her head, she was so frustrated it almost made her feel sick.

Thankfully, Huo Jingshen’s phone rang shortly after.

He looked at his phone and said, “I need to take this call.”

**

The call was naturally from Huo Zhexi.

He quickly reached the underground parking garage and found Huo Jingshen’s car. Yet, no matter where he searched in the car, including the trunk, rear seat, and front passenger seat, he could not find a gift box.

He anxiously asked, “Big brother, I can’t find the gift, where did you put it?”

Huo Jingshen calmly answered, “It’s in the car.”

“I can’t find it! I seriously can’t find it, I’ve searched everywhere!” Huo Zhexi was almost swearing.

Continuing his search, he heard his big brother’s ominously calm voice from the other side of the phone, “If you can’t find it, then it’s your problem.”

“Big brother, what do you mean?” Huo Zhexi didn’t quite catch on.

“I haven’t told your parents about your last trip to the hot springs resort.” Huo Jingshen paused, “So, hurry up, buy a gift, and come back. If you’re late, I’m afraid I might let something slip.”

After that, the call ended.

Huo Zhexi: “…”

Buy a gift?

The next second.

Damn!

His big brother was bullying him big time!

**

Half an hour later, the waiter wheeled in the dining cart.

Dinner was about to start, and Zhexi still wasn’t back. Mingzhu furrowed her brows, just as she was about to call him, she received a text message on her phone.

[Your credit card ending with 8797 has a transaction of 189,239 yuan.]

What is this?

Not long after, the door was opened.

Huo Zhexi was panting heavily, it was the middle of the winter, yet he was sweating profusely. With trembling hands, he handed over a gift bag, “Dad, this is… this is the bir…birthday gift from sister-in-law!”

Huo Juncheng: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Su Wanwan was stunned.

Holy shit, there’s actually a gift?

She immediately looked at Huo Jingshen sitting next to her, clutching his arm, she whispered with a sweet smile, “Thank you, honey.”
