Chapter 190: The familiar red booklet

Grandma Liu stomped her stick hard. “Liu Jinhai, you are crossing the line! Don’t forget that I’m your grandmother and the elder of this house.”

Jing sneered. “What happened, Grandma? This is called having the taste of your own medicine. Do you find it bitter?”

“You…That was all for their happiness!”

Liu Chunhua came forward. “Enough, Mom.”

Grandma Liu was taken aback. Her daughter-in-law never talked back to her.

“This is enough already. I was quiet all this while, but today I won’t. I will not see you dictating my son’s life anymore. You got him married to Huian. Is he happy? Why are you so stubborn?” She said tiredly. “Does only Huian’s happiness matter to you? Does what Jinhai feel isn’t important at all?”

Liu Hai patted her shoulders.

“You…How can you speak to me like that? Just look at your wife, Hai!”

He merely shrugged.

Grandma Liu looked at Jinhai. “And have you thought about the consequences? You married Nana the same day you got divorced. What will people think?”

Jinhai said, “I will handle it. I know what to do.”

Grandma Liu was cornered now. What more can she do when even Xiang Wei and Xiang Qingge were part of this plan? She angrily gritted her teeth. “Call Huian back right now! You are here, and she has gone out to find you in the office.”

Jing rolled his eyes. “You call her if you care so much.”

Jinhai refused to talk to her anymore and said to Nana. “Let’s go, and you get some rest. You must be tired.”

Nana quickly said, “No, How can I-“

“Nana.” His voice carried a hint of seriousness.

She reluctantly agreed.

Grandma Liu roared. “Don’t ignore me! I will never accept this marriage!”

Jinhai said coldly. “I don’t need your approval. Two years back, you both did what you wanted to do. This time I will do what my heart says.”

He took off, and Grandma Liu kept shouting his name but to no avail.

In the room, he laid Nana on the bed and said, “I will be just at the balcony outside. You rest here. If you need anything, just call me, okay?”

“Jinhai, I-“

“Sshh. Close your eyes.” He kissed her lips.

—

Huian was in the car, almost reaching Liu Corps when her phone buzzed.

She picked it up and immediately started sobbing. “Grandma! Do you know what-“

“I know everything that happened.” Grandma Liu interrupted. “Come back, Huian. Jinhai and Nana have already returned.”

“What!? But Dad said that he is the office…”

“Don’t waste any more time and head back to Liu villa right now. Xiang’s are also on their way.”

“Y-yes, I’m coming.”

—

Jinhai was quietly standing in the balcony, holding onto the railing and a burning cigarette in between his fingers. The Liu villa gate was directly in his line of sight, and he was patiently watching over it.

A few minutes later, a car entered through the gate, and he saw Huian quickly getting out.

Huian turned her head and saw Jinhai looking at her. “J-Jinhai!”

He said nothing but faintly smiled, staring at her.

“I’m coming over there, Jinhai!”

Huian dashed inside. The whole Liu family was already gathered in the hall. Grandma Liu saw her hastily heading towards the balcony.

“Huian, wait-“

Everybody followed her.

Huian saw Jinhai silently looking back at her. Her appearance was disheveled from all the stress and running back and forth to meet him.

“Jinhai!” she ran up to him and asked in alarm, “Do you know what Dad and everybody are saying? They said that we are divorced now. We are no longer husband and wife.”

He said nothing.

Huian was trembling in panic. “They said that the contract was a hoax. They were divorce papers that I signed. They also said that y-you and Nana have got married.”

Silence.

She laughed nervously. “It’s impossible, right? You are my husband. You are mine.”

Huian held his arm. “Thank God you came back. Behind your back, they were spreading such nonsense. Now tell them Jinhai that this is all lies. They are doing this on purpose to harass me! Tell them that this is all a misunderstanding.”

Jinhai said, “Hm. I should definitely clear it.”

Relief washed over Huian.

I knew it!

She victoriously looked at them. “Look Mom, dad, Jing. Jinhai is admitting that what you said is false! I knew Jinhai could never do this to me. But you weren’t ready to believe me.”

The Liu trio glanced at each other and said nothing.

Jinhai smiled. “I didn’t say that I’m clearing their misunderstanding.”

“What?”

“It’s yours.”

Jinhai took out a small red booklet and opened it. He held it in front of her and said, “Read.”

Huian froze, seeing the familiar red book. Obviously, she knows what it is since she also had one. She went through it dreadfully.

She saw Jinhai and Nana’s photos attached on it, and the glaring truth written below.

Liu Jinhai, legally wedded husband of Liu Nana.

Liu Nana, legally wedded wife of Liu Jinhai.

She felt everything go dead silent. She felt as if this was an awful dream.

Yes…this can only be a dream. Jinhai can never betray me.

“No…t-this is not possible. This is a prank, right? You are pulling my leg just like them. R-right? Of course, it is.” She laughed.

She had taken so much pain in making him hers. How can he suddenly vanish from her life like that?

Just then, Xiang’s also came. “Huian…”

“Mom, Dad!” Huian rushed towards them. “I want you to scold Jinhai. He is saying weird things. Divorce, marrying Nana…Nana…yes! She is the one!”

Huian flared up in anger. “I am sure she is the one behind this. She wants to drive a wedge between us. She is the one who told everyone to do this! She is doing all this to drive me out!”

Nana also came hearing all the commotion.

Huian saw her and roared furiously at her. “How dare you show your face! I knew it. You are secretly scheming to snatch my place! You are using your baby as an excuse to live here and then plan to kick me out!”

Nana didn’t understand.

“Stop with your white lotus act. You-“

“Stop it, Huian!” Xiang, Wei shouted.

Huian was startled.

“Listen to me, Huian…” He held her shoulders, looking desperately at her. “I know this will be hard, but please try to understand. We did this for your good. What Jinhai said is true.”
