Chapter 468: Chapter 468: Leaving Everything Behind_1 Chapter 468: Chapter 468: Leaving Everything Behind_1 “All the savings at home, the house, everything will be yours! I’ve already donated the school to Qi Li Town, it no longer belongs to an individual. I will leave with nothing but my clothes on my back. When I get a break, I’ll go to the county civil affairs bureau and sort out the divorce paperwork.” This was his final concession.
As a husband, this was his last shred of feelings for his wife. Once he walked out of this house, he would merely be Huo Linong.
The men of the Huo family were known for their emotional depth; if they loved you, it seemed as if they could put you on a pedestal. But Huo family’s men were also extraordinarily decisive, if they determined to end a relationship, they would sever it without a trace.
If they said they no longer loved you, there wouldn’t be the slightest bit of pity.
Yuan Xueshan’s heart was as dead as ashes. She silently stared at Huo Linong, reading his thoughts clearly from his eyes.
They had been husband and wife for so many years; she understood Huo Linong better than anyone else.
All these years, he had treated her well, not despising her lack of education and her lowly origins! He considered her his real wife, treated her like family, and gave her ample respect.
But now, all of that was gone!
“What about…what about Bei Jiang? What about Bei Jiang? He’s my son!” Yuan Xueshan swallowed the bitterness in her heart.
“If you behave yourself, then he will always be your son.”
From Huo Linong’s insinuated tone, Yuan Xueshan understood his meaning, and her muddled mind finally cleared up.
“So…this family is finished? We have nothing left?”
Huo Linong pursed his lips painfully. Things had come to this point. He didn’t want to blame her because it didn’t help anymore. “Think about how this family fell apart? Why did it fall apart?”
He stood up, looking down at Yuan Xueshan, and said word by word, “The thing I regret most in my life is not marrying you, but adopting He Jinlan.”
“And you…”
He paused, Yuan Xueshan anxiously watched him, still holding onto the last sliver of hope in her heart.
“Think about who you were then, and who you are now!” After saying this, Huo Linong didn’t linger. He went back to his room, quickly packed his clothes and left.
Yuan Xueshan sat in the living room on the sofa, in a daze for a long time.
She thought back to when she had fled to Qi Li Town, living from hand to mouth.
She thought of Zhou Yongxian who had taken her in. Back then, in order to stay, to prove herself, she worked strenuously and lived carefully.
Zhou Yongxian comforted her, told her not to care about others’ opinions, and told her to live her life the way she wanted.
Zhou Yongxian even suggested that she marry her son!
Huo Linong was so excellent, so handsome, all of this seemed like a dream to her. Even in her dreams, she didn’t dare to hope that such good things could happen to her, but they did.
What happened later?
Later, everything was fine with the family, wasn’t it?
As these thoughts raced through her mind, Yuan Xueshan couldn’t hold back any longer and started crying on the sofa.
