Chapter 1033: If You Laugh Again, I’ll Go Back On My Word
“Okay, then I’ll do as you say.” Perhaps he was too happy; Lu Xingzhi’s voice was filled with joy.
Jiang Yao was furious. She looked up at Lu Xingzhi, who was smiling. “Don’t show such a happy expression!”
That guy! That guy! That guy! She was so angry!
“You’re still laughing! If you continue to laugh, I’ll go back on my word and stay here!” Jiang Yao stomped her feet in anger. That guy had made fun of her deliberately.
“I’m not laughing! I’m not laughing. Come on, let’s go. I’ll see you off.” Two minutes ago, Lu Xingzhi had wanted to tie her up at home, but now he could not wait to send her away.
It was Jiang Yao’s turn to be frustrated. Finally, she strolled to the door, turned her head to glance at Lu Xingzhi, and muttered, “You’re still laughing!”
Lu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows. How could he not smile? His wife had promised him something that he had thought was impossible for months and had given up on that. At that moment, he was happy—a flower named Jiang Yao had bloomed in his heart.
Lu Xingzhi stopped smiling. Instead, he lowered his head and kissed Jiang Yao’s lips for a while. Then, he patted her head and said, “Okay, let’s go.”
When he opened the door, he was the cold King of Hades Lu again. He was full of energy, and the air around him seemed to have frozen into ice blades.
Many people knew that Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi had returned to their residence. When Jiang Yao opened the door, she saw Old Madam He peeked at her through a crack in the door. She snorted coldly in her heart and pushed Lu Xingzhi into the door. Then, with a choked voice, she said to Lu Xingzhi, “Stop talking. We’re getting a divorce.”
Then, she carried her bag and rushed downstairs. Lu Xingzhi did not even have time to close the door before he chased after her. By the time he got out, Jiang Yao had already gotten into the car and locked the door.
“Can you not leave?” Lu Xingzhi stood beside the car and looked at Jiang Yao with a pained expression.
“What can I do if I don’t leave? If I stay, won’t I just let others point at my nose and call me a vixen that stole another woman’s husband? Lu Xingzhi, I am an ordinary woman. My heart will also ache and be sad,” she said with a sobbing tone. However, her sobs were silent, but tears continued to stream down her cheeks.
When Mrs Yang heard the news, she rushed downstairs and saw the husband and wife. One of them was in the car; she clenched her teeth as she cried. The other was outside the vehicle; he was unwilling to let go of the door handle.
“Jiang Yao, don’t be rash. You don’t have to do this. No matter what other people say about you, I believe in you.” Mrs Yang was frightened by Jiang Yao’s stance.
“Mrs Yang, I’m not rash.” Jiang Yao shook her head as her tears fell. She looked so pitiful that Mrs Yang wanted to reach out and wipe her tears. “Mrs Yang, I have no other choice. Other than divorcing Lu Xingzhi, what else can I do? Mrs Yang, thank you for taking care of me during this period. Also, please thank Mrs Lin on my behalf. I’m afraid that I won’t have the chance to come here again in the future.”
After she said that, Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingzhi and said, “If you have time before the New Year, take a day of leave. Or, after the New Year, take a day off to go back and settle the divorce procedures. I’ll go back to my hometown to bring my things back to my parents’ house. Then, you can drive the car back to the airport when you have time.”
Then, Jiang Yao started the car and left. By the time Colonel Lin and Mrs Lin reached there, Jiang Yao had already driven away.
Colonel Lin looked at Lu Xingzhi, who stood there as his eyes gradually turned sinister. He turned to look at Mrs Yang and asked, “What’s going on?” When he heard that Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao were going to divorce, he was so scared that he rushed toward them. He did not expect that it was too late.
