Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Divorce (9)_1 Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Divorce (9)_1 Ruan Jun put down the pen in his hand, his gaze complex as he looked over, he had just found out as well.
Liao Zhaoji cried with grievance, hoping her son would speak up for her, but seeing that Ruan Jun only frowned upon hearing the news and said nothing, her heart instantly chilled.
She thought that even if her son no longer cared for her, he should at least stand up for her. After all, there should be no overnight resentments between mother and son.
But to her dismay, her son was indeed heartless. Hearing those words, he showed no response at all, which made her feel even more aggrieved. This time, she genuinely cried, her heart broken.
Liao Laifu, just a twenty-something-year-old young man, believed he had some cleverness. Before coming, he was full of confidence, thinking about how to persuade Ruan Jiandang. But once he arrived at the hospital room and hesitated for a long time, he finally managed to bring out a dry statement, âBrother-in-law, did my sister do something wrong? Why do you want a divorce? Tell me, if itâs her fault, Iâll definitely talk to her properly for you.â
He completely forgot the domineering claim he made that day to help Liao Zhaoji beat up the people bullying her.
âNo need,â Ruan Jiandang averted his gaze, his demeanor very cold.
Seeing that Ruan Jiandang didnât seem to be joking or scaring Liao Zhaoji, Liao Laifu became anxious, turned his head, and looked to Ruan Jun, âXiaojun, say something quickly, convince your mom and dad!â
âI donât care, theyâre both grown-ups, let them do as they please,â Ruan Jun said, getting up to pack his textbooks.
âWhat are you saying, kid?â Liao Laifu glared at him, and seeing that he walked past his uncle and told Ruan Jiandang that he was going back to school before leaving, he was dumbfounded.
How had the Ruan Familyâs attitude changed so much in just two months?
Werenât they all good during the New Year?
Liao Zhaoji couldnât believe that Ruan Jun would have such an attitude; he really didnât care if they got divorced or not?
She chased after Ruan Jun out of the hospital room.
At the hospitalâs main entrance, she caught up with Ruan Jun and asked sorrowfully, âXiaojun, do you not want your mom anymore?â
Ruan Jun, with his back towards her, clenched and unclenched his fist, and after a few seconds turned around to ask, âMom, do you know where you went wrong?â
âWrong?â Liao Zhaoji licked her lips, somewhat hesitant, âShouldnât mom have taken money to buy your uncle a car? But Xiaojun, you donât know, your uncle is about to get married. If your mom hadnât bought him the car, your aunt wouldnât have agreed to marry him.â
She paused, then added, âBesides, your uncle said he would pay it back.â
âPay it back?â Ruan Jun sneered, âDid he pay it back when you went to ask for it these past few days?â
ââŠâ Liao Zhaoji was speechless, âHe has already bought the car, so he canât come up with that much money so quicklyâŠâ
âWhat about Dad, then? Does he not need treatment for his leg?â
âOf course he needs treatment. Are you afraid we donât have enough money?â Liao Zhaoji thought she had pinpointed the problem and hurriedly said, âDonât worry, your grandma has money. Sheâs going to build a house for your uncle; she has so much money⊠â
âEnough!â Ruan Jun shook off her hand, his last bit of hope turning into disappointment. He looked at her coldly, âMom, just divorce Dad, itâs better for everyone.â After saying that, he turned and walked away, leaving Liao Zhaoji stunned as she watched his retreating figure.
Liao Zhaoji truly didnât know where she had gone wrong.
She didnât think there was anything wrong with supporting her natal family; Liao Laifu was her brother, and she had been raised to support her brother.
