The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 1809: This Divorce Must Happen (5)

She went up to tug at his hand, and Ruan Jianguo quickly wiped his eyes, looked up at her, and said, "Don’t worry, baby, Daddy’s fine, Daddy won’t sign."

Ruan Jianguo knew this matter was his fault, that he had hurt Shu Jiao’s heart, but divorce, he would never sign, not even if it killed him.

He patted Ruan Jiaojiao’s small hand, "You look after your mom for Daddy, okay? I’ll head back now and come see you tomorrow, be good."

Ruan Jianguo left, but Ruan Jiaojiao, worried about his state, asked Duan Xi to drive him home.

Watching Ruan Jianguo seem to suddenly hunch over, Ruan Jiaojiao felt suffocated. The meal at the Shu Family that evening felt tasteless to her.

She felt sad, so much so that she would suddenly choke up during the meal, but she didn’t want to pressure Shu Jiao. She could only bury her head and force herself to eat, tears unconsciously falling into her bowl one by one.

But seeing her like this, how could the Shu Family not feel heartache?

Shu Jiao put down her chopsticks without saying a word and got up to walk to her room.

Ruan Jiaojiao heard the sound of the chair scraping, looked up to see her leaving back, and the tears in her eyes suddenly broke free.

She wiped her eyes and chased after, hugging her waist, and said in an effort to sound relaxed, "Mom, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. Just give me a little time, I’ll ease into it, and then I’ll be fine. Don’t change your mind because of me; I really just need a little time to adjust."

Ruan Jiaojiao knew that, with Shu Jiao’s love for her, if she pleaded a bit more, Shu Jiao might change her mind, but she really didn’t want that. She also didn’t want to cry in front of her, but sometimes human emotions cannot be controlled. Just thinking about the family splitting into two parts pained her heart as if it were tearing in half.

Shu Jiao still didn’t say anything. She just turned around to hug her and patted her shoulder.

Ruan Jiaojiao raised her head and smiled at her, showing that she would quickly get her emotions under control.

After all, it happened too suddenly. From yesterday to today, in just one day, her happy home was gone without any chance for her to react. To think that when Ruan Jianmin and Liao Zhaoji divorced, it dragged on for a year or two before it was finally done with.

But for Shu Jiao and Ruan Jianguo, it only took a day.

The psychological gap was something Ruan Jiaojiao just couldn’t handle all at once.

That night, Duan Xi came from the Ruan Family, and Ruan Jiaojiao immediately pulled him to ask about the situation at home.

When Ruan Jianguo returned with the divorce agreement, the Ruanlin Family was shocked because no one expected Shu Jiao to be so decisive.

Divorce was brought up yesterday, and today it’s already on the agenda.

In this era, divorce was really unfriendly to women, especially when they are older, with children this big; few have the guts for it.

Back then, Wu Le was disgusted with Ruan Jianmin, disgusted to death, even though the Ruanlin Family repeatedly said they would stand by her, she didn’t have the courage to divorce. She preferred mutual suffering over divorce.

That was because she knew very well, with her age and family background, divorce would leave her with one outcome: being arranged by her family to be a second wife to an older man, or else these older men wouldn’t even want her, and she would just have to shrink back and live meekly with her family.
