My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 485: this is the breakup fee of 5 million

Su Wanwan looked at her, those pretty phoenix eyes, clear and transparent, “What do you mean?”

Her fingers subconsciously tightened, Bai Ruwei felt a little guilty under those eyes. It took her a while to finally find her voice, “Just say a few good words about me. I come from a rural area, my family background isn’t great, and I even used to work as a maid in your house. Zhexi also knows about this. I’m just afraid that Zhexi’s parents won’t be satisfied, thinking that I’m not good enough for Zhexi, that I was only attracted to his family’s wealth, and I deliberately got closer to Zhexi….”

“Is that so?” Su Wanwan interrupted her directly.

“What?” Bai Ruwei was taken aback.

Su Wanwan straightforwardly said, “So you got close to Zhexi because you were interested in his wealth?”

“Of course not.” Bai Ruwei denied it immediately.

Su Wanwan slightly hooked her lips, smiling faintly, “That’s good then. Since you have a clear conscience, what’s there to worry about?”

Bai Ruwei bit her lip, “I’m just worried his parents might not like me.”

“Worrying is useless, after all, you haven’t met them yet, have you?” After saying these words, Su Wanwan glanced at her cell phone, “Excuse me, I have to go to my English class now, I’m about to be late.”

Bai Ruwei asked, “Ms. Mo is not with you today?”

“Oh, she went home last night.”

Mentioning Mo Weiyi, Su Wanwan couldn’t help thinking about last night’s phone call.

Damn it, she thought it was Mo Weiyi who answered the phone, so she let loose a bunch of nasty words calling the man a scumbag.

As it turned out, it was Xiao Yebai who heard her swearing!

Would he give her a hard time in the future?

….

After Su Wanwan left, the smile on Bai Ruwei’s face gradually disappeared.

She knew that the elders of the Huo family would definitely look down on her origin. That’s why she wanted Su Wanwan to say a few good words for her in front of the Huo family members.

She’d taken great pains to get to the point of meeting the parents, and she couldn’t be defeated at the last minute.

She was definitely not giving up.

After finishing two English classes, Su Wanwan had just packed up her bag when she received a phone call from Bai Ruwei.

She frowned and still chose to answer, “What’s up?”

“Wanwan, I’m downstairs in the academic building. I have something I want to discuss with you.”

“Sure.”

Mo Weiyi hadn’t come to school yet, and Su Wanwan didn’t think much about it. She went straight downstairs to meet up with Bai Ruwei.

Who’d have thought Bai Ruwei would say after meeting, “It’s already twelve o’clock. Let me treat you to lunch. The Cantonese Restaurant at the entrance is pretty good. We can eat and talk.”

“What’s the matter? You can just tell me directly.”

“But I’ve already booked a table.” Bai Ruwei looked at her phone, “What should I do? It seems that I can’t cancel it now.”

Su Wanwan frowned, “Then, let’s split the bill. You’ve just started your internship, you don’t have much money.”

Bai Ruwei smiled and didn’t refuse, “Let’s go.”

…

The two arrived at the Cantonese Restaurant, and just after ordering, Bai Ruwei’s phone rang.

She picked it up and had a glance, quickly answering, “Hello? Who is this?”

“…”

She didn’t know what was said on the other end of the phone, but her face immediately became tense. Her tone also became very respectful, “Hello Auntie, I’m at the Cantonese restaurant by the school entrance now.”

Su Wanwan frowned.

Aunt?

Who?

“Alright, Auntie, see you in a bit.”

After hanging up, Bai Ruwei looked at Su Wanwan in a panic, “What should I do, Wanwan, Zhexi’s mom is coming to see me.”

“……”

Su Wanwan was stunned.

Zhexi’s mom?

Such a coincidence?

She happened to be coming to meet Bai Ruwei just when they were about to have lunch?

Bai Ruwei was already panicking, quickly calling the waiter over, “Waiter, bring the menu, I want to add a few more dishes.”

Su Wanwan stopped her, “You’ve already ordered six dishes. That’s more than enough for three people. You don’t need to add more.”

“But she’s an elder, and this is our first encounter. Six dishes… isn’t that too few?” Bai Ruwei looked at her, struggling, “What should I do, Wanwan? I’m really nervous. Although Zhexi mentioned meeting his parents this weekend, why has his mother come to see me alone now? What…what would she talk about with me?”

Having said that, she immediately stood, “Right, I should greet her at the entrance, she should be here soon.”

Su Wanwan had no choice but to stand up too, “I will go with you.”

“Okay.”

Both of them came to the entrance of the restaurant, and before long, they saw a black Rolls Royce stopped by the roadside.

The driver sprinting over to open the rear door. A luxurious beauty stepped out of the vehicle.

She wore a black long down jacket with matching narrow pants, a pair of black high-heeled short boots, and held a bright red, small, leather handbag, her hair elegantly coiled up high into a vintage bun.

Her appearance was rather toned-down, but when she turned her face and looked towards Su Wanwan, she couldn’t help but be awestruck.

A woman truly worthy of her reputation.

Mingzhu, who was over fifty, was still radiant and beautiful. Her features were bright and her looks were bold.

At the first glance, you wouldn’t be able to guess her real age, Su Wanwan even wondered, how beautiful must Mingzhu have been when she was young?

She thought that Huo Nuanyang’s appearance seemed to have inherited everything from this mother – handsome, dignified.

As for Huo Zhexi, he seemed a bit… off.

“Wanwan, why are you here?”

Su Wanwan hurriedly collected her thoughts but Bai Ruwei spoke faster.

“Auntie, Wanwan is a friend of mine, we are dining together today.”

Mingzhu’s gaze shifted away from Su Wanwan’s face onto Bai Ruwei’s face. She smiled lightly with a hint of mockery in her tone, “What a coincidence, huh?”

Bai Ruwei nodded, “Auntie, we’ve already ordered the food…”

“No need, I’m not hungry.” Mingzhu said and turned to look at Su Wanwan again, “Wanwan, can I have a few words alone with Miss Bai?”

Su Wanwan naturally agreed, “Alright.”

“You go in and eat first, don’t starve yourself.” Mingzhu had a friendly look on her face.

After all, this was Ashen’s wife. She was always polite towards family.

Su Wanwan glanced at Bai Ruwei, “Then I will go in first.”

Bai Ruwei could only nod.

As soon as Su Wanwan left, Mingzhu immediately said, “Miss Bai, it’s windy here, let’s go into the car and talk.”

“Okay.”

Mingzhu turned and walked towards the car parked on the roadside.

Bai Ruwei followed behind, her hands and legs trembling with nervousness.

When they reached the car, the driver opened the rear door and Mingzhu motioned, “Miss Bai, please.”

Bai Ruwei didn’t dare to get into the car first. She didn’t know where to put her awkward hands, “Auntie, you don’t have to be so polite.”

Mingzhu smiled softly and quickly got into the car.

Once Bai Ruwei also got into the car from another side, Mingzhu spoke softly with a smile, “Miss Bai, I didn’t expect you to be so calculating. Did you deliberately ask Wanwan to be here?”

“Auntie, I–”

“Please call me Mrs. Huo. Today is our first meeting, it isn’t appropriate to call me Auntie.”

Bai Ruwei’s face turned pale, her hands clenched fiercely. She could only change her address and explain, “Mrs. Huo, you’ve misunderstood. I really had something to discuss with Wanwan. I didn’t know you’d be coming today.”

“Don’t explain, I’ve lived for fifty years, and I’m confident that my judgement is accurate. I don’t want to waste time on useless talk.”

After Mingzhu finished speaking, she took out a cheque and handed it over, “Here’s a breakup fee of 5 million. After you take it, the farther you stay away from my son, the better.”

Bai Ruwei looked at the cheque but didn’t reach out to take it.

“Do you find this amount inadequate?” Mingzhu chuckled lightly, “You should know that if you don’t take it now, when Zhexi gets bored in a few days, you might not even get 50000. Would you like to reconsider?”

“Mrs. Huo.” Bai Ruwei lifted her eyes to look at her, her beautiful eyes turning red and filled with grievances, “I genuinely like Zhexi. That’s why I’m together with him. I’m not the kind of woman who chases after vanity.”

Mingzhu looked at her, the smile on her red lips deepening, “Oh, so why don’t you tell me exactly what it is about Zhexi that you like?”

“Zhexi is very straightforward. We’ve been together for three months, and every day is delightful. We truly love each other.”

Mingzhu smiled unchanged, “My son, he’s been pampered by me to the point of being a cripple. He’s lazy, doesn’t make any effort, full of explosive rage and spends his days idly…”

Bai Ruwei: “…”

“It’s rare to see, Miss Bai, you managed to find his few remaining qualities. As his mother, it gives me relief.”

Bai Ruwei again: “…”

Is this woman really his mom?

Previously, she had often heard Huo Zhexi complaining privately about his elder relatives in the Huo family, saying that they were biased and only liked his oldest brother Huo Jingshen and his second brother Huo Nuanyang. Now it seemed, his complaints were true.
