Chapter 109: Chapter 0109: Divorce at the Civil Affairs Bureau Tomorrow
Qiu Shuihan lambasted Qiu Ruoxi completely, leaving her utterly bewildered as she stared at him blankly.
All her life, Qiu Shuihan had never spoken to her like that, not even when he had forced her to marry Ye Xunhuan.
This moment marked the very first time in her life that her own father had pointed at her nose and scolded her.
Qiu Ruoxi’s heart filled with unprecedented grievance, and for a moment, her heart was filled with discontent and anger towards Ye Xunhuan!
So much so that an enraged Qiu Ruoxi coldly snapped at Ye Xunhuan, "Ye Xunhuan, you’re impressive, really cruel, even learning to tattle..."
"I..."
Just as Ye Xunhuan began to speak, hoping to reason a bit, Qiu Shuihan immediately said, "What now, you still want to blame Xunhuan? You make a mistake and yet you blame someone else. Qiu Ruoxi, you’ve really grown some nerve..."
"In front of me, you treat Xunhuan like this, privately, you’re probably crapping and peeing on his head, aren’t you..."
Seeing Qiu Shuihan defend Ye Xunhuan made Qiu Ruoxi’s anger intensify. "I’m bullying him? Ask him if I, Qiu Ruoxi, have ever bullied him!"
"Has he ever done anything that I inquired about?"
"Whatever he wants, I comply with, I give him money, however much he asks for, I never question what he does with it, you made me marry him, and I married him, you tell me to do something, and I do it, what else do you want me to do before you’re satisfied..."
"You do whatever I want you to do?" Qiu Shuihan snorted coldly, "Are you sure you’ve done that?"
"Are you sure you’ve never thought about finding another man? If not, why would you leave Xunhuan behind and drive back by yourself..."
"Dad, how can you say that about me? I am your daughter after all. And him?" Qiu Ruoxi pointing at Ye Xunhuan, said, "Do you know what kind of person he is?"
"He lazes around every day, does nothing, and constantly flirts around, just like a thug, a hoodlum, a scumbag, a loser..."
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi say this about Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Shuihan immediately started trembling with rage: "You... you..."
"I’ll beat you to death, you ungrateful wretch!"
Saying this, Qiu Shuihan swung his hand up to harshly slap Qiu Ruoxi’s face.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan quickly stood up and swiftly shielded Qiu Ruoxi.
"Slap!"
The next moment, a crisp sound rang directly by the ears, immediately followed by five finger marks appearing on Ye Xunhuan’s face, even as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
It was evident from this furious slap from Qiu Shuihan how powerful it was; had it landed on Qiu Ruoxi’s face, it probably could have sent her flying.
Seeing his own slap landing on Ye Xunhuan’s face, Qiu Shuihan suddenly froze, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at Ye Xunhuan.
Not only was Ye Xunhuan stunned, but Qiu Ruoxi and Xiahou Yutong were also stunned.
No one expected Ye Xunhuan to take that slap for Qiu Ruoxi.
What was even more shocking was for Qiu Ruoxi, who had always looked down on and bullied this man, to see him taking the slap for her, and she couldn’t believe that her father would strike her just for saying a few words about Ye Xunhuan!
For a moment, the scene seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stand still.
The atmosphere slowly became eerie and oppressive.
After a long while, Qiu Shuihan slowly came to his senses, "Xunhuan, you... you..."
"Dad, I’m fine!" Ye Xunhuan forced a smile on his face and then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth!
"You get out of the way, today I will kill this rebellious daughter..."
Once he regained his senses, Qiu Shuihan was still furious and ready to hit Qiu Ruoxi.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan quickly grabbed Qiu Shuihan, "Dad, if you really want to hit someone, just hit me instead!"
"You..."
"How can a man let his wife be bullied? And my wife is so beautiful, if her lovely face gets swollen tomorrow, I will be so distressed!" Ye Xunhuan said, a faint smile playing on his lips, "Even though you are my father-in-law, I can’t let her be bullied!"
"And I can’t strike you, nor can I watch you hit my wife, so just hit me instead, hit however makes you feel better, my skin is thick, it’s fine!"
"You... you..." Qiu Shuihan pointed at Ye Xunhuan, trembling all over, "You’re driving me mad!"
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan shamelessly chuckled, "Dad, don’t be angry yet, have a cigarette to calm down..."
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan pulled out a cigarette, handed it to Qiu Shuihan, and lit it for him.
"Dad, Ruoxi left me at the restaurant entrance, but it’s mainly because I angered Ruoxi. Otherwise, why would she leave me there?" Ye Xunhuan defended Qiu Ruoxi, "Doesn’t she know what would happen if she deliberately left me there for you to find out?"
"You made her angry?" Qiu Shuihan snorted coldly, "Ask your mom if she believes that!"
Xiahou Yutong gave a bitter smile and shook her head.
Ye Xunhuan was rendered speechless by the situation but continued nonetheless, "Dad, things have come to this point, and I won’t hide it from you anymore, you’ve seen it, Ruoxi really doesn’t like me. Even if you bind us together now, it’s useless, we’ll end up divorcing sooner or later!"
"Rather than that, since we don’t have children and don’t have any burdens yet, why not let Ruoxi go and give me a chance to live?" Ye Xunhuan pleaded, "I will talk to my aunt, you don’t have to worry!"
"Besides, I don’t like Ruoxi either," Ye Xunhuan seriously said, "But you can rest assured, even if we divorce, I am still your son, if you ever need anything, just tell me, even if I’m at the ends of the earth, I will come to your side right away!"
"What... what did you say?" Xiahou Yutong’s delicate body started to shake slightly, her face turning pale at that instant as if she might collapse at any moment.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan hurriedly supported Xiahou Yutong, "Mom, don’t be upset just yet!"
"Love cannot be forced, moreover, Ruoxi is like a celestial favored daughter, and me, as you and dad know, I’m like the scum in the gutter, the trash in the sewers, even if you praise me as a flower before Ruoxi, it’s useless!" Ye Xunhuan said, his lips filled with an indescribable bitterness, and his body involuntarily exuding a sense of profound sorrow.
"She has eyes, she has a heart, she can see, she can feel."
"But don’t worry, even if we get a divorce, I am still your son, at your word, I will be there whenever you call." Ye Xunhuan assured emphatically, "All right, that’s it then!"
While Qiu Ruoxi, Qiu Shuihan, and Xiahou Yutong looked on dumbfounded, Ye Xunhuan declared firmly, "Qiu Ruoxi, I don’t want you anymore, let’s divorce at the civil affairs bureau tomorrow!"
