Chapter 22: Settling the Register

Bai Ran was about to retort, “It has nothing to do with you.” At this moment, Chen Chen’s phone rang again.

Everyone at the table fell silent.

Everyone knew that it must be Hu Wan again.

As expected, Chen Chen picked up the call and did not even dare to speak. He only responded quickly and excused himself to the others before leaving. He picked up his jacket and disappeared into the night.

“You little brat, come back!” Grandpa shouted from behind, but unfortunately, there was no response.

“This unfilial grandson! He keeps treating her like she’s so precious. Does he still have this family in his eyes?!” Grandpa slammed his chopsticks on the table.

Bai Ran comforted him when she saw this. “Grandpa, don’t be angry. After all, Sister Hu Wan is sick. It’s only right to take care of her.”

“Ran Ran, why are you still speaking up for her?! When has she ever cared about your status as his legal wife?” Grandpa turned to look at Ran Ran. “Ran Ran, why are you so sensible?! You’re such a good girl. It’s our Chen family who has delayed you!”

“Grandpa, you’re being too serious. If not for the Chen family, my mother might have passed away long ago. I might not even know where she is now. I’m really thankful to you and the Chen family,” Bai Ran said from the bottom of her heart.

“Ran Ran, if you say that again, how can an old man like me dare to accept it! It’s our Chen Chen who has let you down!” Grandpa sighed and stood up. “Ran Ran, come with me.”

Grandpa pulled Bai Ran to his room and took out his household register, handing it to her.

“Ah, Grandpa, what are you doing?” Bai Ran’s eyes widened.

“I thought that there was still hope for the two of you, so I found an excuse to delay it. But I didn’t expect Chen Chen to be so concerned about that woman. I think it shouldn’t delay you from finding your own happiness!”

Grandpa said solemnly and handed the household register to Bai Ran. He instructed, “I’m giving this household register to you today. You will decide your future!”

When the people outside the room saw that Grandpa had pulled Bai Ran in alone, they knew that it must be about the household register.

“It’s over, it’s over. Ran Ran is really not my daughter-in-law now,” Chen Chen’s mother said first.

“Sigh, you don’t want Ran Ran to guard a person who has another woman in his heart, right? That’s unfair to her,” Chen Chen’s father comforted.

“That’s right. If Ran Ran can’t become the daughter-in-law of our Chen family, she can still be our child. From now on, I’ll treat her as my biological granddaughter!” Grandma suddenly thought things through.

They could not eat this meal anymore. Bai Ran took the household register and said goodbye to everyone in the Chen family before returning to her house.

Lying on the bed, Bai Ran could not bear to put down her household register.

She could finally divorce him. She finally did not have to face his sudden coldness anymore! She could finally stop watching him treat another woman well!

She just couldn’t bear to leave the others in the Chen family, who treated her too well.

In the future, she could only try to be filial when Chen Chen was not around.

After some thought, Bai Ran decided to tell Chen Chen about this outcome first.

She had Chen Chen’s number, but she had never called him before. This time, she only planned to text him.

She typed a message: I have the household register. Let’s go settle the divorce tomorrow.

Chen Chen, who was still taking care of Hu Wan, was sitting at the head of the bed peeling an apple for her.

Ding! Ding!

Chen Chen’s cell phone rang.

It was inconvenient for him to hold the apple in his hand, so Hu Wan took the liberty of picking it up and looking at it.

When Chen Chen saw her actions, he could not help but frown slightly, but he did not say anything.

However, when he saw Hu Wan’s satisfied smile, Chen Chen felt a little strange. Did Bai Ran say something to him?

“Ah Chen, Ran Ran said she got her household register and wants to go through the procedures with you!” Hu Wan sat up immediately and said happily.

What? She actually got the household register?

Chen Chen put the apple down and wiped his hands. He took back his phone and wanted to see it personally.

The moment the phone was retracted from her hand, Hu Wan’s face fell and her body went limp.

He was in such a hurry to see if it was true or not.

Chen Chen stared at the line of words and subconsciously clenched his fists. His eyes were a little dizzy, and his expression became very ugly.

It had only been two hours since he came out of the house. Was Bai Ran that happy to divorce him? Why was she so eager to inform him the moment she got it?

Was she in such a hurry to break up with him so that she could have fun with that man from the advertising company?

Wasn’t he just a lousy design director from an advertisement company! What was so good about him? Could he compare to himself?

How ignorant!

“Ah Chen, are you okay?” When Hu Wan saw Chen Chen’s expression, her heart could not help but tighten.. She grabbed the blanket tightly and tried not to explode.
