Chapter 174: Not a Qualified Husband
urmured, then continued, "Hanchuan, don't you think this is too coincidental He wanted the land before, but now he doesn't want it anymore. It seems very strange. Could he be deliberately trying to tr..."No problem," Aunt Song shook her head. "It's only right for the Qi family to compensate Madam, but I just feel that Madam wouldn't want it."
"Aunt Song, there's nothing I wouldn't want!" Fu Xiaoyao's voice came from the stairs.
Lu Hanchuan took the check and, before Aunt Song could answer, walked to Fu Xiaoyao's face. "Here you go."
Fu Xiaoyao gave him a cold look. She didn't take the check in his hand. "What do you mean"
"This is compensation from the Qi family," Lu Hanchuan explained.
Fu Xiaoyao's grip on the railing tightened suddenly, "Compensation"
"Yes."
"Such generosity, five million!" Fu Xiaoyao sneered.
Lu Hanchuan pulled her other hand over, placing the check in her palm. "Take it," he said.
"I don't want it!" Fu Xiaoyao flung the check down the stairs without a shred of politeness.
Lu Hanchuan lowered his head and looked at the check that had floated to his feet, his brow furrowed. "Why not"
"Why should I" Fu Xiaoyao retorted.
Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips, “As I just said, this is compensation from the Qi family to you.”
"Compensation" Fu Xiaoyao scoffed, a sneer twisting her lips. "It's just hush money, isn't it To buy my bone marrow and my child's life. It just conveniently happens to be framed as compensation, because saying it that way sounds better, doesn't it"
Lu Hanchuan was a little displeased, "Fu Xiaoyao, don't be so presumptuous. This compensation is what I asked for from Qi Dongming for you, there's no other meaning"
"What do you want" Fu Xiaoyao's gaze became even more intriguing.
For some reason, Lü Hanchuan felt a little uneasy, but he still nodded. "It's me."
"I see." Fu Xiaoyao bent down to pick up the check, her face full of sarcasm. "This is what you got from asking the Qi family, which means that if you hadn't mentioned it, the Qi family wouldn't have compensated me, right"
Lu Hanchuan was stunned, thought of something, and his face turned extremely ugly.
Yes, a month ago when he went to the Qi family to pick someone up, Qi Dongming did say that he would compensate Fu Xiaoyao.
But over this past month, Qi Dongming has taken no concrete actions to compensate.
Perhaps, as Fu Xiaoyao said, as long as he didn't speak up, Qi Dongming would just get by.
Thinking about this, Lu Hanchuan clenched his fist, "I wasn't considerate enough about this matter. I'm sorry."
“I don’t accept your apology, so what do you mean by asking Qi Dongming for a check now” Fu Xiaoyao held up the check and looked at him coldly, “Are you trying to bribe me with this five million, so that I won't hold a grudge against you anymore and let go of my hatred Are you trying to end all of this”
Hearing this, Lu Hanchuan frowned, “You misunderstood. I didn’t mean that.”
“But to me, that’s exactly what you mean. Otherwise, why would you demand compensation from me out of the blue Mr. Lu wouldn't be unaware of the saying "there's no such thing as a free lunch," I don't trust you anymore, so everything you do now seems premeditated to me.” After that, Fu Xiaoyao slapped the check against his chest with a loud slap, then walked past him slowly down the stairs.
Lu Hanchuan caught the check that was about to fall, turned around and looked at her slender back, "Fu Xiaoyao, you don't want the check"
"I said, this is money bought with my bone marrow and my child's life. I will never accept it. Mr. Lu, would you take a check stained with your own blood And besides, the compensation you speak of isn't willingly given!" Fu Xiaoyao turned her head, her voice coldly questioning him.
Lu Hanchuan's eyes flickered, then he slowly tightened his grip on the check in his hand, his throat feeling a bit tight. "I understand. I'll hold onto this check for you first. If you need it, just ask me."
"As you wish." Fu Xiaoyao turned her head away, ignoring him, and slowly walked towards the entrance hall.
Lu Hanchuan saw that she seemed about to go out and immediately asked, "Where are you going"
Fu Xiaoyao pretended not to hear and continued walking forward.
Lu Hanchuan's eyes darkened. He casually stuffed the check into his pocket and strode after her in two or three long strides. "Where are you going"
"It has nothing to do with you." Fu Xiaoyao replied expressionlessly.
Lu Hanchuan grabbed her arm, "Tell me clearly I'll send you."
"No, I can manage myself." She forcefully shook her arm, trying to pull it free from the man's grasp.
But the man seemed to have anticipated this, gradually tightening his grip so that she couldn't break free no matter how hard she struggled.
Fu Xiaoyao was a little angry. Her sickly pale face flushed slightly because of her anger, and she looked much more energetic than her cold appearance just now.
"Let go of me!" she exclaimed, raising her head to glare at the man with a touch of anger.
The man didn't let go, slightly lowering his head to bring his face very close. "Tell me," he said, "where are you going"
Fu Xiaoyao turned her head away. "I'm going out to take care of something."
"What are you doing" Lu Hanchuan pursued.
Fu Xiaoyao closed her eyes, a touch of impatience in her voice, "What does this have to do with you"
"I am your husband!" Lu Hanchuan stared into her eyes and replied, word by word.
Fu Xiaoyao smiled, a sneer twisting her lips, “Husband Mr. Lu, are you sure you’re my husband What kind of husband leaves his wife here for three years without a word What kind of husband lets his wife donate bone marrow to his ex-girlfriend What kind of husband doesn’t avenge his own child after its death!”
Three consecutive questions left Lu Hanchuan speechless.
But Fu Xiaoyao did not let him off easily. After taking a deep breath, she continued: "These three years, you haven't cared about anything I've done, and you've never asked me anything. Now you come to ask me, now you come to care about me, don't you think it's too late And besides, I don't need it. That's it!"
She pushed him away with all her might, changed her shoes and left.
Lu Hanchuan didn't chase after her this time, he just stood there, a little dazed, watching the door she left through.
"Seeing him like this, Auntie Song helplessly said: 'Mr., actually your wife is right. You're not a qualified husband at all. Now your wife has made up her mind to divorce you, and you are unwilling to leave. Are you going to live like a bitter couple'"
This question stumped Lü Hánchuan all of a sudden, "A disgruntled couple"
“Yes, your wife doesn't even want to look at you now, let alone reason with you. But you haven't cared about her either, so your relationship as a couple is very abnormal.”
The wife was extremely disappointed in her husband.
When a husband knows that his wife is disappointed in him, but doesn't want to go and make amends or try to win her back, what can be done
Having thought this through, Aunt Song sighed with worry, "Sir, I think you should take your relationship with your wife seriously. Treat her as your real wife, not someone who can be easily dismissed. If you can't do that, then there's really no point in continuing your marriage."
After she finished speaking, Aunt Song went busy with her own affairs, leaving this place to Lu Hanzchuan, hoping he would reflect deeply.
Lu Hanchuan stood there for about a few minutes, then suddenly pursed his lips and opened the villa door.
He felt that he and Fu Xiaoyao had to have a good talk.
This time, he wouldn't give up just because she said she didn't want to talk like last time.
Thinking about this, Lu Hanchuan chased after the gate of the nearest villa district. Fu Xiaoyao wasn't feeling well and couldn't walk fast, he should still be able to catch up!
But things didn't go as planned. When he ran to the door, he happened to see Fu Xiaoyao getting into a luxury car and leaving.ggage and have to look after Xiao Bao, it wouldn't be convenient." Shao Siniang pointed at her suitcase.Fu Xiaoyao thought about it and agreed, smiling, "Okay, thank you.""No need to thank me, I'm Xia...
