“If you hadn’t dragged Chen Chen along, do you think he wouldn’t have gotten a divorce? Was his relationship with Hu Wan all these years fake?” Hu Wan’s mother’s voice was a few decibels higher.
“Auntie! This isn’t my problem. You have to ask him,” Bai Ran said with a cold expression.
“If you really want to get a divorce, then pull him along! Don’t go back on your word! If you continue to delay the divorce, I won’t let you off!” Hu Wan’s mother warned with a fierce gaze.
“Auntie, I think you’re forcing me because you can’t force him.” Bai Ran smiled coldly. “I respect you as an elder and a mother who thinks for her daughter, so I can forget about the slap just now. But if you continue to mess around with me like this, I don’t mind being a bad person.”
Attracted by the commotion here, the people around stopped in their tracks to watch the two of them quarrel.
“You…” Hu Wan’s mother looked at Bai Ran with disbelief in her eyes. She had seen Bai Ran as gentle and weak since she was young, but when had she ever had such an aura?
“Isn’t that so? Your daughter always comes to force me to get a divorce, so why doesn’t she ask Chen Chen? Now, she sent you to do this again? She must have told you about my whereabouts today, right?” Bai Ran raised her eyebrows, her expression cold.
“What do you mean she told me? I came here with Hu Wan to play with her nephew today.” Hu Wan’s mother did not understand, but she quickly raised her voice. “Why? I happened to see you and Chen Chen together, right? Can you not be so shameless?!”
“Auntie, there’s a limit to my tolerance!” Bai Ran frowned deeply. “I misunderstood and thought she was following me again. I apologize for this, but since you said that you came with her, why didn’t she come to see me herself? Wasn’t she still trying to persuade me? Besides, your words are too unpleasant.”
“Am I being rude or are you being despicable?” Hu Wan’s mother rolled her eyes. “You’re about to get a divorce. Do you think it’s appropriate to come to such an occasion with your ex-husband? You said that it’s not that you don’t want to get a divorce, but why do you want to come out and play with him?”
“I’ll say the same thing again. You have to ask him. I’ve already signed the divorce agreement. The rest is between him and Hu Wan.” Bai Ran could not be bothered to talk nonsense. She leaned closer to Hu Wan’s mother and said, “Look, there are more and more people gathering around. If you continue to talk to me like this, is it because you want us to be on the social news? Don’t underestimate the power of the paparazzi. When the time comes, the fact that Chen Chen and I are still husband and wife will be made public. Then, Hu Wan will become a mistress who will be criticized by everyone. Do you want to ruin your daughter’s current situation where she’s being blessed by all the ignorant masses and is about to get married?”
Hu Wan’s mother’s face turned pale when she heard this.
When she, Hu Wan, and her nephew saw Bai Ran and Chen Chen walking together not far away, Hu Wan had clenched her fists tightly and her eyes turned red.
When she thought of how Hu Wan had been worried about this marriage every day, she was furious. She had rushed up to help her daughter vent her anger when Chen Chen left, but she had not thought of the consequences.
“Bai Ran, I’m begging you. You grew up with Hu Wan. Are you going to watch helplessly as she can’t even satisfy her last wish? How can you bear it?!” Hu Wan’s mother’s tone softened as she played the emotional card.
“Auntie, I’m helpless about this. I told you, you should ask Chen Chen.” Bai Ran turned her face to the side, her face filled with helplessness. Why was everyone pointing their spears at her?! They just thought she was easy to bully!
Hu Wan saw that the two of them were in a stalemate. Furthermore, there were more and more people around. It was not easy to clean up the mess. She pulled her little nephew and prepared to bring her mother away.
In the beginning, she had also hinted for her mother to go forward and question her. Unfortunately, Bai Ran was really insensible!
At this moment, Chen Chen returned. Hu Wan could only stop in her tracks.
Chen Chen squeezed through the center of the crowd. When he saw Hu Wan’s mother, he understood everything.
Chen Chen shielded Bai Ran behind him and said, “Auntie, go back first.. I’ll talk to you in the hospital when the time comes.”
