My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 503 - : 503, people always change.
Chapter 503: 503, people always change.
“This issue reveals a cognitive difference between the East and the West. I don’t blame you for not understanding,” said Huo Jingshen in a calm tone.
“Alright.” Dong Manjiao nodded, “Can you now tell me why you suddenly got married?”
“No comment.”
“Jason, I’ve been in Nancheng for a week now. I looked into your wife. She’s a child her father brought home after marrying another woman. In other words, she’s just an illegitimate child of unknown parentage. During her schooling, she was a troublemaker. After she grew up, she even got engaged to Xing Yuyun, the grandson of the Huo family. She was sent abroad for two years. As soon as she returned to Nancheng, she got married to you in a rush.”
Dong Manjiao couldn’t help but laugh, “Jason, do you think other people don’t know you as well as I do? You don’t have the patience to tame a girl full of issues, even if someone pressured you.”
Huo Jingshen’s voice was deep and warm, “You think you know me very well?”
Dong Manjiao laughed more brilliantly, “I’m a woman, so of course I understand men. In this world, there’s no other woman who knows you better than I do. After all, how many years have we known each other?”
“If you really understood men, you would know that people change. Especially men like me.”
Dong Manjiao’s smile didn’t falter, “So you mean to say, you’ve changed?”
She didn’t believe it.
All men in this world love power and influence. The higher their position, the greater their desire for power and influence. Even someone as outstanding as Huo Jingshen was not an exception.
“If you want to do something, I advise you to think thrice,” said Huo Jingshen, seemingly unwilling to discuss it further. He stood up, his tall and slender figure rising gracefully, “I have business to attend to. I’ll be going first.”
“You’re just going to leave like that?” Dong Manjiao’s smile finally faltered somewhat, “Do you not care about my illness at all? Did you just come here to warn me today?”
“You can think of it that way.”
“So you’re just going to spoil your little wife like that?”
“Manjiao.” Huo Jingshen finally spoke her name, but his tone was just as aloof and formal as before, “After all these years, I’ve only regarded you as an ordinary friend.”
“An ordinary friend?” Dong Manjiao repeated the phrase.
So they weren’t even friends?
Just…ordinary friends?
She laughed sarcastically, “Jason, I don’t think my devotion to you over the years is mere friendship. I also don’t believe you can’t see it.”
“You’re a smart woman. Some things don’t need to be said. You should understand.”
“So what? You’re persuading me to give up?”
“If you don’t, we will have to become strangers,” said Huo Jingshen lightly, “After all, my wife is prone to jealousy.”
Her pupils suddenly constricted, and Dong Manjiao once again felt faint.
Strangers?
Each word was more hurtful than the last.
This man always knew how to shatter her pride and calm with just a few words.
But he was right.
She was a smart woman. She knew that verbal arguments were the most powerless and time-consuming.
Taking a deep breath, Dong Manjiao abruptly changed the subject, “Jason, did you hear? Fu Xihan had an accident.”
Huo Jingshen’s unemotional face since he had stepped into the room finally showed a hint of change, “What happened to him?”
“I don’t know him well. I only heard he was hospitalized, someone shot him. The bullet hit near his heart, he was on the verge of dying on the spot.”
Huo Jingshen’s brow furrowed slightly.
“So, aren’t you going back to the UK to see your good friend? Remember, he was the one who took on all the risks and responsibilities to get you out of the Eastern Alliance.”
Huo Jingshen was indifferent, “I have to go.”
Dong Manjiao didn’t try to keep him, her face revealing a graceful and beguiling smile, “Alright.”

Meanwhile, Su Wanwan arrived at the dormitory entrance, suddenly turned and headed towards the parking lot.
Her car had been parked there for two months. She had intended to check on it, but unexpectedly encountered a familiar figure.
Ling Zhizhou.
Next to him seemed to be the same man as last time. Were they arguing?
“I told you, I have a plan for this!”
“What plan? Spending your days as a lapdog and playing nice?”
“It’s none of your business!”
“Half a year passed and that’s all you can do.”
“You…”
Ling Zhizhou suddenly shut his mouth, looking slightly flustered at Su Wanwan.
Then he quickly spoke to the man, who immediately turned around, got into a silver-gray Maybach, and drove away at a high speed.
Su Wanwan watched the car.
A Maybach, huh? That’s worth several millions, right?
Is Ling Zhizhou’s cousin that rich?
“Senior, why did you come to the parking lot?” By this time, Ling Zhizhou had run over, his face full of his usual sunny smile.
Su Wanwan retracted her gaze, “My car has been parked here for a long time. I came to check it out.”
“I see.”
“Were you arguing with your cousin?”
“Huh?” Ling Zhizhou was taken aback, then immediately said, “We weren’t arguing. We just had some disagreements.”
“Oh.”
“Senior, did you hear our conversation just now?”
Seeing Su Wanwan shake her head, Ling Zhizhou sighed in relief, “He always thinks I don’t know much. Every time he comes, he just lectures me, so…”
He checked the time, “I have to go to the reading room now. Goodbye, senior.”
“Goodbye.”
Watching his retreating figure, Su Wanwan felt that for some reason, this junior seemed to be somewhat secretive lately.
He was clearly arguing with his cousin just now. As soon as they saw her, the man immediately left, as if he didn’t want her to see him.
