CHAPTER 214: CHAPTER 214: JUST GIVE HER THE DIVORCE CERTIFICATE

Mr. Huo had no idea what Lin Banxia had gone through. Beneath her youthful appearance, her heart was full of wounds, so worn out that she felt she couldn’t bear it anymore.

So, no matter how Mr. Huo threatened or intimidated her, she was neither afraid nor concerned.

She thought she might as well stay at the pear garden and live her remaining years leisurely.

Find a good job, have some money, some leisure, free from the constraints of marriage, free from the troubles of love—wouldn’t that be more authentic, simpler?

It was the first time Mr. Huo found himself helpless against someone, a feeling that left him frustrated and irritated.

At six in the morning, as the sky brightened, Lin Banxia finished her injection, sat dazedly on the bed holding her quilt.

Mr. Huo had already left a little after five, leaving her alone.

He had promised last night to divorce her today—she hoped he would keep his word.

By nine o’clock, Lin Banxia took her medication and was discharged from the hospital. For a moment, she didn’t know where to go, so she wandered the streets.

Just then, Mr. Huo called her.

"Where are you?" The man’s voice was deep and void of warmth.

Lin Banxia gave him her location, and ten minutes later, a black car stopped in front of her.

From the car stepped out Mr. Huo’s assistant, Qi Han.

Lin Banxia was slightly stunned—did he not come?

Qi Han politely got out and said to her, "Miss Lin, here are the divorce papers, keep them safely!"

Divorced?

Lin Banxia reached out to take them, looking at the little booklet whose color had changed, her heart... was filled with mixed emotions.

"Thank you!" she said stiffly, offering Qi Han a smile.

Qi Han nodded, said nothing, got back in the car, and left.

Lin Banxia stared at the divorce certificate in her hand with a vacant look, sighed quietly, and put it into her bag.

Finally, she had gotten the divorce and saved the pear garden; perhaps now, she could start a new life.

However, Lin Banxia knew it wasn’t that simple.

Sure enough, her father Lin Kunhuai called.

Lin Banxia gave a bitter smile—her father must have heard about her and Mr. Huo’s divorce and called to reproach her.

"Hello, Dad..."

"Don’t call me Dad; I don’t have such an unfilial daughter as you. Why did you divorce Mr. Huo for no good reason? Are you trying to drive me to death? Do you know that just now, two orders worth billions fell through because of you, you’re trying to kill me." Lin Kunhuai’s voice from the other end started with endless accusations.

As for concern, not a single word.

Lin Banxia had seen through her father’s nature—everything first about benefits, family to him was a tool to be used.

Now, as she had no more value to him, he began to despise her, scolding her for being useless.

It was only natural, Lin Banxia didn’t get angry, she just spoke calmly, "Dad, divorce is normal, what’s there to make a fuss about? The Huo family didn’t accept me anyway, divorcing sooner is a relief for me."

"You only think for yourself, so selfish, after all I’ve done raising you, this is how you repay me?" Lin Kunhuai felt like losing Mr. Huo was as painful as cutting his flesh, and was even more furious at Lin Banxia’s rash actions.

"Dad, at least I helped you secure that ten billion fund turnover, didn’t I? No matter how useless I am, I used my marriage to help you once, but don’t think of using my marriage as your cash cow again. I have my own way of living, I don’t need you planning it for me." Lin Banxia’s tone also turned assertive.
