Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1042 - 1046: Let’s Leave Some Dignity for Each Other

Duan Wenchang knew it was over once he found out his wife went to the Huo Family to plead.

The Huo Family was already fuming with anger, and going there now wasn’t to ask for help, but to stir the flames.

Sure enough, when he rushed in, he heard, ”A divorce would be a relief for both.”

Huo Gaodi, seeing the person standing at the door, decisively said, ”Dad, you’ve come at the right time.”

Duan Wenchang didn’t expect it would come to this. He had advised his daughter more than once not to take things too far, but she never listened.

She thought that since Huo Gaodi liked her, he should accept all of her, including her little tantrums and antics.

Now this is what happened, she’s tested all of Huo Gaodi’s patience away: ”Gaodi, it hasn’t been easy for you both to come together, especially considering you have two children. I know Zhuangyu has a lot of little faults and that she’s gone too far this time, but divorce shouldn’t be a hasty decision.”

Huo Gaodi looked directly at Duan Wenchang, ”You call what she did going too far? Just for that comment, I’ll never regret my decision.”

Duan Wenchang didn’t expect one sentence would infuriate Huo Gaodi so much, ”No, Gaodi, I...”

Huo Gaodi had already made up his mind, so he wouldn’t give him a chance to argue: ”I understand what you’re thinking. No matter what, my sister-in-law didn’t suffer any real harm, and she’s already received the acceptance letter. You want her to overlook what Zhuangyu did for the sake of family?”

”But have you considered why, just after joining the Huo Family, she should forgive someone who repeatedly causes her trouble and even tries to ruin her future?

With Old Four’s temper, you should know that he won’t let go of anyone who hurts someone he cherishes. Don’t hold onto false hopes. If you want to protect Duan Zhuangyu, do as I say, divorce.

Moreover, she can’t take either of the children. After all, because of her selfishness, one has already died. I don’t want the other two to meet any accidents.”

Duan Wenchang didn’t expect that the dedication Huo Gaodi once had for pursuing his daughter could turn so cold: ”Was your affection for Zhuangyu all fake?”

Huo Gaodi looked his father-in-law in the eye: ”Do you not know how Zhuangyu has been over the years? My affection for her has been worn away day by day by her actions. I don’t want my family to continue suffering from my poor judgment. We’ve come this far; why not leave each other some dignity?”

Duan Wenchang wanted to say something, but in the end, said nothing.

Shen Zhiqiu took a step forward, just as she was about to defend her daughter, Duan Wenchang stopped her.

He knew Huo Gaodi well enough to understand that if he could say such words in front of everyone, he wouldn’t go back on them.

Huo Gaodi silently watched the Duan family couple, waiting for their decision.

In truth, this outcome was better for everyone.

If he didn’t divorce, his relationship with Old Four would not just be awkward, considering Old Four’s protective nature, he might also find himself on the revenge list, and their future rapport could be easily imagined.

Now, going this far was his best choice. His feelings for Duan Zhuangyu had been worn away bit by bit, and his patience had turned into tolerance. Continuing would only result in the same outcome.

Better to leave some dignity for each other.

Finally, the Duan family couple agreed: ”We, as a couple, do agree to this, but things still need Zhuangyu’s consent.”

Huo Gaodi knew Duan Zhuangyu all too well: ”Go back and explain things to her. You know what kind of person she is better than anyone, isn’t that right?”

The Duan family parents felt embarrassed as their son-in-law spoke this way in front of their in-laws.
