Chapter 1473: Understood
Han Xiangjun saw Chaoyang sitting there with his head down, knowing that Wei Kaiyun must have just said something to him.
Looking at the two young people, Han Xiangjun sighed. It’s truly fate’s trickery that this once warm little family has become this way.
Jiang Xinyu picked up the phone just as the bell rang.
"Jing Chu."
"Aunt Jiang."
Jiang Xinyu felt a pang in her heart listening to the girl’s tearful voice.
Jing Chu is actually an obedient and innocent child. She used to believe she would be happy with Chaoyang, never expecting such a thing to happen.
She already knew the truth earlier and, from a bystander’s perspective, thought Jing Chu should give Chaoyang a chance. But she knew Jing Chu was stubbornly persistent.
Her heart is pure and simply cannot accept such a stained affection.
"Okay, stop crying. What’s done is done, let Old Han find someone to bring you back."
"Aunt Jiang, I don’t want to go back."
"Why? Your dad will be very worried."
"Aunt Jiang, I’m pregnant. I don’t want to compromise myself because of the child."
This left Jiang Xinyu dumbfounded, but it’s also normal, since the young couple is still newlywed, pregnancy is quite expected.
"Jing Chu, the child’s matter can’t be hidden."
"So I was thinking, can we not go back and just handle the divorce papers?"
Jiang Xinyu looked at Wei Kaiyun, asking for his thoughts.
"Give it a try. Does it have to be a divorce?" Wei Kaiyun felt quite sympathetic towards his apprentice.
On the other end, Jing Chu also heard Wei Kaiyun’s words.
"Aunt Jiang, if I don’t divorce, I’ll go crazy."
Even though she wants to give Chaoyang and herself a chance, just thinking about what happened to him makes her feel disgusted with him.
She doesn’t want it this way either, remembering Chaoyang’s kindness over and over again. But it doesn’t help. On one side are the bits and pieces of their relationship, on the other is that incident. Now, she feels like she’s splitting in two.
Jiang Xinyu heard Jing Chu’s sobs, "Alright, stop crying, try it first. If it doesn’t work out, wait until after the child is born and then come back.
Jing Chu, whether it’s your divorce or the child’s matter, can’t be hidden."
"I know. Even if the child grows up, I won’t stop him from being close to the Li Family, nor make him an enemy of his father. I know I’m being fussy, that’s my problem."
"No, you’re not fussy, I understand you."
Wei Kaiyun, listening on the side, felt uneasy. If it really happened to him, he’d certainly be in the same situation as Chaoyang, perhaps worse.
"Jing Chu, you’re pregnant now, for the child in your womb, you must be strong."
"I know. For the child, I won’t let myself be sad.
Aunt Jiang, let’s wait until after the divorce to tell my dad and them?"
"Jing Chu, if you do this, your dad will be very heartbroken.
I think you should tell him, no matter what. He will definitely support you."
"I don’t dare tell him."
"Jing Chu, let your dad call you tomorrow."
"Okay."
After all, she’s still young, when things happen, she first thinks of her family, but also doesn’t want them worrying about her.
After hanging up, Jiang Xinyu sat there sighing. What is this?
Chaoyang’s affection for Jing Chu is apparent to anyone with eyes. But who would’ve thought they’d reach this point?
Wei Kaiyun dialed Han Xiangjun’s office again.
"Chaoyang, follow what I said for this matter and discuss with Old Han.
Also, I’ll see if it’s possible for you two to divorce without returning. Jing Chu is now at the brink of collapse, better to follow her wishes."
"Master, I understand."
"What about your parents?"
"I’ll tell them later."
Wei Kaiyun said no more. They’re adults, let them decide.
Afterward, Han Xiangjun and they talked a little more before hanging up.
He looked worriedly at his wife, "Xinyu, let’s go home."
"Hmm. I really don’t know how to tell Lv Beiguang."
"Let’s not talk about it. We should come over together tomorrow. Leave it to Jing Chu to tell Lv Beiguang."
"What a situation. This girl Jing Chu encounters such a thing, with no familiar person to confide in by her side, I’m really afraid she’ll get herself into a dead end."
Wei Kaiyun said nothing more. Actually, he thought, just leave the matter aside for now, after some time, it may fade away, then draw conclusions, avoiding future regrets.
"Alright, let’s go home. Do we still need to visit the building?"
Jiang Xinyu sighed, she’s not in the mood at all now, so she shook her head.
Wei Kaiyun, seeing his despondent wife, held her hand tenderly, "This will pass, after some time, maybe Jing Chu will come around?"
"But there’ll always be this matter between the two of them."
"Yes, indeed. An insurmountable hurdle. I’m partly to blame, pushing too hard, while Chaoyang is still too young."
The couple returned home. Family members didn’t notice, but Feifei found her mom acting unusually.
"Mom, what’s wrong?"
It was just the two of them in the room.
"Chaoyang has done something to let down your Sister Jing Chu." Jiang Xinyu finished with a sigh.
Jiang Feifei was stunned. No way. Seeing how Chaoyang cherished Jing Chu, how could trouble emerge so soon after their wedding?
"Chaoyang was framed."
"Sister Jing Chu must be very hurt."
"Indeed, she insists on divorce. I’m thinking of delaying a day or two before asking about the situation."
Jiang Feifei was still processing the matter, Chaoyang was a regular guy, not particularly handsome, what did the other party see in Chaoyang? Worth scheming for? Truly puzzling.
Jiang Xinyu didn’t tell anyone else about it. But her mood was very low.
She knows that such events are the biggest blow to a woman.
In the Capital, Jing Chu put down the phone, wiped her tears, and got up to return to her dorm.
Seeing Han Xiangjun repairing her door.
Neither spoke, mostly because Han Xiangjun didn’t know how to comfort her, feeling at a loss for words despite being usually slick and worldly.
After fixing it, he helped her close the door. He sighed and left. There are still many things to arrange.
Jing Chu lay rigidly on the kang. Not thinking about anything, just staring at the ceiling.
Chaoyang left, following Wei Kaiyun’s advice to make arrangements. He’s now in a daze, afraid to think about anything.
Wei Kaiyun told Lv Beiguang in the evening after work to go to the city in the morning.
Giving Jing Chu a night. Let things slow down.
Truly unfortunate for this girl encountering such a thing.
Old Yang and his friend were on the road, Old Yang also learned about this matter.
"Even Chaoyang would be plotted against?"
