But the urge to kiss her was so strong that he couldnât suppress it.
Especially when she said things that upset him, he was completely out of control.
So it wasnât his fault, it was all because Hai Xiaotang shouldnât have provoked him!
But as it turned out, he had provoked her.
However, it wasnât up to her to decide whether or not he was allowed in.
Seemingly reminiscing about something, Dongfang Yu couldnât help but reveal a triumphantly smug smile.
Walking furiously into the living room, Hai Xiaotang saw her grandfather leaning against the sofa, thumping his chest with discomfort.
âGrandpa, whatâs wrong?!â Hai Xiaotang rushed over in a panic to check on him.
Hai Zhiyuan waved her off, smiling. âItâs nothing, I guess Iâm a bit tired and feeling a bit uncomfortable.â
âWhere doesnât it feel right? We should go to the hospital for a check-up!â
âNo need. Grandpa is very healthy, donât worry, Iâm fine.â
Still anxious, Hai Xiaotang asked, âAre you really okay?â
âI am fine, I have been sleeping and eating well and exercising every day. Thereâs nothing wrong with me. But you, are you okay?â Hai Zhiyuan looked at her swollen lips and chuckled helplessly.
Hai Xiaotang was surprised, âMe? What could be wrong with me?â
The elder didnât respond directly, changing the subject with, âEven though youâve divorced Ayu, he genuinely cares for you. Go to school and register tomorrow.â
Hai Xiaotang sat down in frustration, âGrandpa, I donât want to accept his kindness.â
âWhy not?â the elder was puzzled.
Hai Xiaotang answered truthfully, â1 initiated the divorce. I donât want any attachment to him. If 1 want to cut ties completely, then 1 must not develop a fondness for anything he offers. Besides, itâs not that I canât afford to go to school; why should 1 accept his offer? Itâs like Iâd be beholden to him and remain in his debt.â
Hai Zhiyuan nodded in approval, âMy Xiaotang has always been decisive and resolute, which makes me very proud. However, 1 still hope you accept his offer.â
âGrandpa, after all Iâve said, why do you still want me to accept?â
âBecause itâs what he owes you.â
Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, âWhy?â
âIf youâre not asking for any alimony, then accept his offer. In this way, he wonât owe you anything.â
âBut he doesnât owe me anything to begin withâ¦â
Hai Zhiyuan frowned, âWhat do you mean, nothing ? My beloved granddaughter loved him for seven years, wasting her feelings and youth, of course he should compensate you! If you donât go to school, then grandpa will make him give you half of his wealth!â
Hai Xiaotang was startled, âGrandpa, are you kidding?â
Hai Zhiyuanâs expression was serious, âIâm not joking. If he canât guarantee your future, asking for half of his wealth wouldnât hurt. Whether you want to fend for yourself, or live off his wealth without a care in the world for the rest of your life â you decide.â
Of course, Hai Xiaotang chose the former, âGrandpa, even if I donât accept his offer, I can still fend for myself.â
âYou may not care whether he owes you, but grandpa does. In short, you choose one of the two, otherwise grandpa wonât let this drop!â the elder said firmly.
Throughout his life, Hai Zhiyuan had fought and struggled in the battlefield and military.
Even now, a sense of deadly aura is embedded within his bones.
He wasnât a frail and incompetent old man.
Just because he didnât express much about Hai Xiaotangâs divorce, didnât mean he was prepared to let Dongfang Yu off the hook..
