My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 499: 499, relying on your elder brother’s support?

However…

When Bai Ruwei and Huo Zhexi entered their private dining room, they waited for a long time. Over half an hour had passed beyond their predetermined meeting time, and Huo Juncheng and Mingzhu still hadn’t shown up.

Another twenty minutes passed, and Huo Zhexi eventually ran out of patience. “I’m going to call to nudge them.”

“Okay.” Bai Ruwei forced a smile.

Huo Zhexi grabbed his cellphone and headed directly to the men’s bathroom.

Inside a stall, he dialed Mingzhu’s number. “Mom, when are you and Dad coming over?”

“To where?”

“To the Nancheng restaurant. We agreed you’d meet Xiaowei today at noon. Don’t tell me you forgot?” Huo Zhexi was exasperated.

“We didn’t forget, but an old friend has returned to the country today. Your father and I are drinking tea at their house.”

“What do you mean? You’re not coming?”

“Yes.”

Huo Zhexi was frustrated. “Mom, you’re not doing this on purpose, are you?”

She selected the location and booked the room herself, and now she’s claiming she has to visit an old friend’s house for tea?

This has to be intentional.

Mingzhu did not deny it. “Your father and I are very busy. How are we supposed to have time to meet your girlfriend? Since you are already there, why not enjoy your meal and go home afterwards? After all, I’ve already footed the bill.”

“But Xiaowei bought a lot of gifts for you and Dad.”

Mingzhu finally lost her patience. “Zhexi, why did I have to give birth to such a naive son? How many times have I told you that this woman isn’t suitable for you…”

“Mom, which one of the girlfriends I’ve had have you ever approved of?” Huo Zhexi questioned right back.

“In any case, I won’t allow this woman to step foot in the Huo family’s house.”

“Mom, Xiaowei is truly not the type of woman you think she is. When I initially met her, she didn’t even know I was Huo Zhexi…”

“Are you a fool? You revel in the high life daily in Nancheng. Every service staff member in every clubhouse knows you’re the Third Young Master of the Huo family. Don’t they talk about you privately? She doesn’t know who you are? Only a fool like you would believe that!”

Huo Zhexi: ” Anyway, Xiaowei is definitely not a vain woman! When we first started dating, she was an innocent girl. She only worked at the clubhouse to earn a living. Even after we got together, she continued to work every day and had already lined up her winter internship. She didn’t need any of my help. She refused all the jewellery and clothes I bought for her. I think highly of her, and she’s good to me too. She’s an exceptional girl. Mom, it’s not right for you to have such a heavy prejudice against her without even meeting her…”

“I’ve already met her.” Mingzhu’s tone was cold and laced with sarcasm. “I did not tell her in advance that we were meeting, yet she intentionally brought along Wanwan. This girl is too cunning and ambitious. Zhexi, listen to your mom’s advice and break up with her right away. You’re not smart enough to play her game! Zhexi, your mother wouldn’t harm you. I’m doing this for your own good…”

Huo Zhexi hung up the phone in anger, and, in a fit of rage, threw his cell phone into the toilet bowl.

…

Su Wanwan had no idea why Mingzhu would suddenly call her.

“Auntie, I’m out now.”

“I said I’d treat you to dinner last time, and it happens to be the weekend today. Do you have time this afternoon?”

“This afternoon? But I’m at Nancheng Restaurant right now with a few friends. I don’t think I can get away.”

“So, you’ve seen Zhexi and that woman?”

“Yes.” Su Wanwan didn’t deny it. “Aren’t you coming over, Auntie?”

“Sigh.” Mingzhu let out a sigh. “I told you, I would not let that woman enter the Huo family’s house. However, Zhexi doesn’t listen. I’m afraid he’ll suffer eventually. I rebuked him a bit, and he hung up the phone on me. He even turned off his cell phone now…”

Su Wanwan could only listen.

Mingzhu rambled on for a while, and finally said, “Alright, I won’t disturb your meal anymore. I’m hanging up.”

“Goodbye Auntie.”

The moment Su Wanwan hung up the phone, a man’s hand suddenly appeared in front of her, and her phone was snatched away.

Su Wanwan jumped in shock, but when she realized it was Huo Zhexi, her face instantly darkened. “Huo Zhexi, what the hell is wrong with you?”

Huo Zhexi took her phone, quickly looked at her call history, and immediately saw the “Auntie Mingzhu” entry right on top.

Heh, as expected, this damned girl was leaking information again.

He looked up and asked menacingly, “Little bastard, what did you say to my Mom? Did you badmouth me, huh?”

Before he let Su Wanwan respond, he smashed her phone onto the ground.

After he smashed her phone, he turned to leave, but Su Wanwan grabbed his arm.

“Pick up my phone.”

Huo Zhexi forcefully shook off her hand. “Pick up your sister! I won’t pick it up!”

Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes ominously. “You’re not going to pick it up?”

“I said no! If you’re capable, get my big brother over here!” Huo Zhexi bluffed.

Su Wanwan: “…”

Seeing that Su Wanwan remained silent, Huo Zhexi became even more arrogant. With a grin, he said, “Little bastard, aren’t you relying on the backing of my big brother? How come you can’t act so high and mighty now that he’s not around?”

He saw Su Wanwan with a young girl earlier and heard her speaking with Mingzhu about having a meal here with some friends. As such, he surmised that Huo Jingshen must not be around.

“Xiaowei even said that you helped her and regards you as her best friend. It’s unexpected that you would treat her like this. Women can be so sinister!” Huo Zhexi glared at her with revulsion. “Don’t think I don’t know what’s in your mind. I suggest you behave yourself, otherwise…”

He scoffed, just as he was about to make another threat, a chillingly familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, “Or else what?”

The smirk on Huo Zhexi’s face immediately froze.

Damn it!

There’s a saying that “bad things don’t happen thrice,” but how come he had to run into trouble yet again? How many times has this happened?

“Zhexi, I heard you wanted to see me?” Huo Jingshen strode over, his long, deep-set eyes seeming to casually glance at the object on the ground.

Huo Zhexi suddenly felt his legs go weak, and he collapsed onto the floor.

Since he was already on the ground, he might as well pick up the phone.

Feeling utterly humiliated, he got up and handed over the phone. “Sister-in-law, here’s your phone.”

Hearing the address “sister-in-law,” Su Wanwan had a dark expression on her face, the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably.
