Chapter 50: I Want a Divorce
There were three people that Jiang Tingxu had let down in her previous life: Aunt Wen, Old Master Mo, and finally, that child, Ningning.
Jiang Tingxu came to the Mo family when she was six years old. It had been nearly twenty years, but Old Master Mo’s love for her had never wavered.
Especially in the past few years, because of her interns.h.i.+p, she had less time to return to the old residence. Every time she came back, Old Master Mo was so excited.
“Grandpa, I can do it myself. ”
The old man waved his hand:
“No, no. Let the old man do it. Our Tingxu’s hands are meant to be used for holding a scalpel to save people. They’re very precious. Don’t scald them. ”
Jiang Tingxu laughed:
“It isn’t as serious as grandpa says. Besides, I’m not a child. ”
The old man raised his eyebrows and said, “In the old man’s eyes, all of you are children! ”
Indeed, Old Man Mo was almost 90 years old. The juniors in his family were all children in front of the old man.
Drinking the tea made by the old man himself, the taste was indeed excellent.
The authentic Dahongpao tea from the mother trees on Wuyi Mountain was sold at the auction a few years ago at a high price of 208,000 yuan for 20 grams, which was equivalent to 5.2 million yuan per catty. In recent years, harvesting from these trees had been banned altogether.
While drinking the cup of tea, Jiang Tingxu was feeling conflicted inside.
Who was Old Master Mo?
How could he possibly not realize the expression on his granddaughter-in-law’s face?
The teacup was gently put down:
“Did you quarrel with Bo Yuan again? ” He asked.
Jiang Tingxu shook her head:
“No. ”
“Then... who bullied you in the hospital? Don’t be afraid, tell Grandpa. ”
It had been many years since he had met someone who dared to bully the members of the Mo family.
There was a sharp look in the old man’s eyes at that moment.
Jiang Tingxu quickly said,
“No, Grandpa. No one bullied me. The leaders and colleagues in the hospital are all very nice. ”
Tsk.
The old man’s eyes changed faster than flipping through a book. The sharp gaze that could kill people had turned into a smile in the blink of an eye. He now looked like a truly nice and kind old man!
Jiang Tingxu pursed her lips and looked at the old man:
“Grandfather, I’ve made a decision! ”
“Oh? What decision have you made, Tingxu? Tell me, grandfather is listening. ” As he spoke, he picked up the teacup again and started sipping the tea.
Jiang Tingxu’s brows were knitted into a line. She took a few deep breaths:
“I want a divorce! ”
She finally said it.
“Pia! ”
The expensive Teacup in the old man’s hand instantly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
“Wait, Tingxu, what did you say just now? ”
This was probably something that he had never thought of even in his dreams!
Everyone in the circle had long known how Jiang Tingxu had pestered the ‘crown prince’ of the Mo family, Mo Boyuan.
If even outsiders were aware of this, what more the family members?
Therefore, there was no way they could believe what they have just heard!
Since she had already said it out loud, it didn’t seem so difficult to speak again:
“Grandfather, I said I want a divorce! ”
Elder Mo’s hands were trembling:
“Tingxu, is what you said true? ”
“Yes, grandfather, I’ve already made up my mind. ”
Old Master Mo leaned back in his chair, his eyes suddenly darkening.
Jiang Tingxu didn’t say anything else. She had said what she needed to say. She stood up and walked to the old man’s side, taking his pulse silently.
His blood pressure was a little high from the shock, but was fortunately still under control.
After a few minutes of silence in the room, the old man spoke again. His voice was much more hoa.r.s.er than before:
“Tingxu. Have you really made your decision? ”
“Yes. ”
He closed his eyes. Although his face was clearly filled with disappointment, he waved his hand:
“Forget it. Since you’ve already made your decision, grandfather can’t stop you. It’s just that, Tingxu, this isn’t a small matter. You must think carefully before you make your final decision. Don’t let yourself regret it, understand? ”
How could the old man not see that there was a problem between his grandson and granddaughter-in-law after so many years?
Especially Bo Yuan. That child was too ruthless.
However, that was precisely why he was often unable to see what he really wanted, in the depths of his heart!
He thought that when the two children were more mature, they would be able to figure it out on their own, but now...
Jiang Tingxu felt a cool sensation on her face. She reached out and touched it:
Was she crying?
She thought she would never cry again in this life.
