Chapter 337: Chapter 363: Shocking Divorce
Wang Hu had already decided not to continue his life with Bai Fanglan, so he swiftly resolved the matter. After discussing with his parents, he drafted a divorce agreement and, seeing there were no issues, went to inform his superior, as this required a prior notification.
When the leader heard that Wang Hu wanted a divorce, he was stunned, almost dropping his pen: "No way! Isn’t your wife resting to protect her pregnancy? She’s about to have a baby, and you’re discussing such nonsense? Is it because the New Year is boring and you’re playing with me?"
"No, I really want a divorce."
"Stop joking around! You know you’re at a crucial stage in your career. Not taking this seriously is a death wish! You should know that if you divorce for no reason, forget about having a good future! Listen, I forbid you to divorce. Just forget about it. I’ll talk to your father later! Utter nonsense!"
This kid is foolish, and his parents are foolish with him? Are they out of their minds, being so willful?
Wang Hu said, "I’m not joking. I absolutely cannot stay in this marriage. Sir, do I look like I’m causing trouble for nothing? I know how important marriage is for any soldier."
"What did you say?" He frowned, "You’re really not joking?"
He suddenly remembered the rumors about the person Wang Hu met in Beijing, Yao DianDian. Was this not going a bit too far?
Could it be he’s really going to abandon his wife and child? Looks like he’s really tired of living!
"Wang Hu! Although there are conflicts between you and Bai Fanglan in your marriage, you cannot act wantonly. You two are expecting a child; this is irresponsible!" He slapped the table.
A female leader across the table glanced at them and continued writing her documents.
Wang Hu sighed, "You really misunderstand me. It’s not like that! There’s some sordid reason for my divorce with Bai Fanglan, which I can’t disclose, but there is no room for compromise on this matter. Even if I can’t stay here, I can’t continue with her."
"What exactly..."
"I really can’t explain." Wang Hu submitted the divorce report and left.
After Wang Hu left, the person immediately called his parents to inquire about the situation and finally understood.
Father Wang just said one thing, that the child in Bai Fanglan’s belly wasn’t Wang Hu’s at all!
"The child was conceived with someone else while Wang Hu was studying at the military academy. But I hope you can keep this confidential, just say it’s due to incompatibility between the couple, otherwise it’ll be embarrassing for Wang Hu, and we’ve agreed to give Bai Fanglan a job. She is also a victim."
Everything became clear, so the senior leaders didn’t oppose Wang Hu’s divorce; no persuasion was needed.
The man was away all year round for his work, and Bai Fanglan, instead of taking care of his parents and maintaining a stable home, got involved with someone else and conceived their child! They claimed the child was six months old, but the baby was already born and alive!
Isn’t this clear evidence? Therefore, it was immediately approved.
The leader sighed endlessly; Wang Hu had abilities, but his luck wasn’t so good, ending up in such a situation. Truly pitiful!
When this leader went out on business, the female leader across the table picked up the phone: "DianDian? It’s me! I have news about Wang Hu! It’s definitely good news!"
It turned out this woman was a maternal aunt of Yao DianDian, currently working here. Yao DianDian had asked her to help monitor Wang Hu’s actions. By chance, she encountered this situation; her heart was almost jumping out just now. It’s indeed explosive news! Wang Hu is getting divorced!! She quickly relayed the event.
"Alright, that’s it. Now that Wang Hu is about to divorce Bai Fanglan, see what you do with this. I’m hanging up now." She hung up abruptly, continued reading her documents as if nothing had happened.
The person across was completely unaware that while they were out for a while, the news had already been spread to others.
Yao DianDian sat shocked on the sofa, then suddenly jumped up. Finally, what she had long sought was handed to her effortlessly! After so many years of waiting and hoping, finally a good result!
This is heaven’s will favoring me! She packed her things, left a note hastily for her parents, and rushed to take the train to X City to find Wang Hu. Her parents, upon returning home and seeing their daughter’s note, almost fainted in frustration. That foolish daughter! How could she be so reckless!
"Even if Bai Fanglan divorced for her infidelity, do you think you can be with Wang Hu now? Wasn’t it obvious they won’t accept you two together! Even a slightly intelligent Wang Hu wouldn’t get involved with DianDian at this time! How did you raise our daughter to be the other woman!" Father Yao reprimanded his wife.
Mother Yao frowned, "Talking about this is useless now! We need to find our daughter, that’s the priority! Can your scolding rewind everything? Foolish one!"
"How dare you call me that..."
"Enough! That’s that! You keep scolding here, I’ll go fetch our daughter back!" With her usual brisk manner, Mother Yao swiftly packed up and rushed out.
Father Yao sat there sulking, wishing he could shoot Wang Hu! He pondered and called his friend in the north, asking them to watch over Yao DianDian and detain her if she was found. This action was unethical and would bring societal criticism.
"Even if you have to tie her up and drag her back, don’t let her meet with Wang Hu. I absolutely forbid these two from being together."
The friend on the other end sighed too; what a situation, really! A decent girl fell for a married man!
Wang Hu was completely unaware of this mess. He took the documents and went to the hospital to find Bai Fanglan.
Bai Fanglan was crying to her grandfather, hoping he could persuade Wang Hu to change his mind: "I’m willing to bear him another! No matter what means, I’m willing, even if I lose my job, hide the current child, so be it! Just tell the outside world that the child didn’t survive; I will give him another."
"Don’t be foolish!" Bai Chuan had also been tormented, losing several pounds in the past few days. He sighed, "This matter cannot be resolved. Just divorce him. Don’t wait until everyone knows; what face will you have left to stay here?"
Bai Fanglan wept, "Grandpa, I’m your granddaughter! How can you treat me like this?"
