The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 372: Midnight Breakup 1_1

Huang Xiaojue’s father and Xu Xiaoya were in the corridor when they saw her suddenly rush out. Both of them instantly felt a sense of unease.

"Xixi..."

Without turning her head, she rushed straight for the elevator.

Xu Xiaoya quickly said goodbye to Huang Xiaojue’s father and chased after her.

Huang Xiaojue’s father walked into the ward right away. Taking one look at his wife’s expression, he immediately asked, "What did you say to Xixi?"

Huang Xiaojue’s mother snorted coldly.

"Old woman, what exactly did you say to her? She came to visit you out of kindness. Was that really necessary?"

"Bah! Her, visit me out of kindness? If she were truly kind, she wouldn’t be fawning over Huang Ying while skipping my sister’s birthday banquet! She shows me no respect, so why should I make things easy for her?"

"You just love looking for excuses to stir up trouble, don’t you?"

"So what if it’s an excuse? If she didn’t have any shortcomings, could I even find an excuse? I just can’t stand my son being cuckolded for life, constantly talked about behind his back."

At that moment, the cellphone rang. When Huang Xiaojue’s father saw it was his son calling, he felt a little uneasy. Huang Xiaojue’s mother snatched the phone and answered, "Son..."

Huang Xiaojue said cheerfully, "Mom, are you feeling better?"

"A bit better."

"By the way, did Xixi come to see you?"

Huang Xiaojue’s mother stated firmly, "No! She’s such an important, busy person; how would she have time to visit an old woman like me? Son, I’m not some Director Huang, hardly worthy of her attention. You, stop meddling! I don’t need her to visit, and frankly, I’m not blessed enough to receive such an honor..."

Huang Xiaojue’s laughter sounded very strained. "Mom, look at you, why say things like that? Xixi might have just been too busy recently and couldn’t make it. You know, she’s been swamped with work and renovations these days; she genuinely doesn’t have any free time..."

"Stop making excuses for her, Son. She doesn’t respect me at all, and she clearly doesn’t care about you either! Only a fool like you would love her so devotedly..."

"Mom, don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll come see you..." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I don’t need anyone to visit me. Son, you don’t need to worry either. After all, in your eyes, she’s the only one who matters; your mother means nothing to you."

Before Huang Xiaojue could say anything more, she had already hung up and tossed the phone aside.

Huang Xiaojue’s father sighed deeply. "Old woman, what’s the point of making things so hard for our son? In the end, you’re just making him worry. You’re not doing this for his sake; you’re just causing him pain."

"A moment of pain now is better than a lifetime of regret. Old man, stop being so soft-hearted! If he breaks it off now, he’ll suffer for two or three months at most. But if he really marries that woman, it’ll be a stain on his life forever."

"Who even cares about things like that these days?"

"Just because you don’t care doesn’t mean others won’t! Who among our son’s classmates and in his circle of friends doesn’t know Yan Xixi’s background? The entire Zhou family knows! And did you know? Last time, the mother of Zhou Xiaoxuan’s cousin saw me. She specifically taunted me, saying our son’s fiancée is the type to be kept by someone. Old man, how am I supposed to swallow that insult?"

"She’s clearly just resentful because Xiaojue wasn’t interested in her daughter."

"So what? At least her daughter doesn’t have such a disgraceful past."

「Walking out of the hospital, a gust of wind seemed to clear Yan Xixi’s mind a little.」

So, marriage truly isn’t just about two people. A woman might not be able to choose her origins or her parents, but she can choose her in-laws. You can’t just imagine you’re marrying only one man; the truth is, you’re marrying him and his parents—all three of them. If even one of these three makes you unhappy, then your marriage will never be a happy one for the rest of your life.
