Chapter 527: Chapter 527: He’s Just a Bad Apple

"What? Divorce?!"

Han Jingting and Chen Xuan were stunned at the same time.

"Dad, you’re not lying to me again, are you? Everything was fine with you guys, why suddenly get a divorce?"

Just two days earlier, her parents had been fine, and now they were suddenly divorced, something Han Jingting found hard to believe.

Han Bowwen looked wronged, "How could I lie to you? Look, I’ve even brought the divorce certificate over!"

As he spoke, Han Bowwen took the divorce certificate out of his pocket and handed it to Han Jingting.

With the black and white proof in front of her, Han Jingting had no choice but to believe it.

Chen Xuan, with a puzzled expression, asked, "Dad, weren’t you and mom getting along well? After all these years, why would you suddenly get a divorce?"

Han Bowwen let out a long sigh, "What else could it be for, if not for that Ding Liang!"

"Ding Liang had almost landed you guys in jail before, and now he has stolen the secret recipe from your company. With such a scheming person around, how could we keep him in the house!"

"I told your mom that we had to kick him out. But your mom, she still defends him even now!"

"She even went as far as to divorce me over that scoundrel, Ding Liang!"

"Now I realize, my years of affection for your mother can’t even compare to an outsider! Wuuwuuwuu..."

As he spoke, Han Bowwen started crying helplessly again.

Han Jingting’s face turned angry, "How could mom be like this! Why does she become completely unreasonable the moment Ding Liang is involved?"

Han Bowwen let out a sigh, "Actually, your mom has her own thoughts.

"Your mom has always wanted a boy, but she never got her wish."

"Later on, when your uncle passed away, he entrusted Ding Liang to our family, and your mom was overjoyed."

"In her heart, she completely treats Ding Liang like her own son!"

Han Jingting suddenly realized why her mother was so fond of Ding Liang.

Han Bowwen continued to grumble, "I see now, that Ding Liang is like a rotten apple spoiling the whole barrel. Ever since he joined our family, he has caused nothing but turmoil."

"He forced you and Xiaoyu to run away from home, and now he’s driven me to get a divorce from your mother."

"What’s most critical is that your mother has been brainwashed by him, becoming indifferent to her own kin!"

"I have no idea what sins our family has committed to deserve such an ingrate!"

Whenever Han Bowwen mentioned Ding Liang, he would become so angry his teeth itch.

Han Jingting felt deeply sympathetic towards her father’s plight since she had suffered at the hands of the same person.

"Dad, what are you planning to do now? After so many years with mom, you can’t just let it end like this, can you?" Naturally, Han Jingting didn’t want to see her parents split up.

Han Bowwen sighed again, responding helplessly, "Let’s just take it one step at a time regarding your mother and me. Right now, the only thing I hope for is that you will look after me a bit."

"Mom kicked me out of the house, I don’t have a penny to my name, not even a place to stay. I spent last night under a bridge!"

Han Bowwen’s eyes were moist with misery.

"Living under a bridge?!" Han Jingting felt a surge of heartache.

While she lived comfortably, her own father was reduced to living under a bridge, which filled her with guilt.

"Why didn’t you just call me yesterday then?"

Han Bowwen’s eyes dodged, "I... I just felt too ashamed to face you..."

In recent times, Han Bowwen, following Ding Lijuan’s lead, had given Han Jingting quite a hard time. Now, thinking back, he felt truly guilty.

Han Jingting forced a smile, "Dad, what are you talking about? I am your daughter, isn’t it my duty to take care of you?"

"It’s just that..." Han Jingting’s face showed distress, "there are no vacant rooms in the old alleys anymore..."

Chen Xuan replied with a light smile, "It’s okay, actually the houses in Fenghua Residential Area have also been around for some years."

"Jingting, we have a little bit of money now, and I think, why not buy a new house for Dad first?"

"That way, Dad will have a place to stay, right? Later, when Dad remarries Mom, they can also live more comfortably in the new house!"

The moment these words came out, Han Bowwen’s eyes lit up, filled with excitement.

"Chen Xuan, you are truly a good son-in-law to our family, even thinking ahead for Dad!"

"Dad’s previous kindness to you was not in vain! Haha..."

By the end of his words, Han Bowwen chuckled awkwardly, as he suddenly remembered that he hadn’t actually been that good to Chen Xuan, his son-in-law.

Han Jingting was somewhat surprised to hear Chen Xuan’s words.

She hadn’t expected that despite her father’s earlier adverse attitude towards Chen Xuan, he would still be willing to buy a house for her dad, which truly moved her.

"Alright, then it’s settled. Dad, you stay in the hotel tonight, and tomorrow I will take you to see the houses."

Since Chen Xuan had spoken, Han Jingting naturally didn’t have any objections.

Han Bowwen was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He might not have made much of himself in life, but that didn’t stop his pursuit of a quality lifestyle.

The house in Fenghua Residential Area was bought when he married Ding Lijuan and they had lived there for over thirty years.

Whether it was the layout, decoration, or the various facilities, everything was worn out and completely outdated.

Han Bowwen had long fantasized about moving into a larger, newer house, but unfortunately, with his abilities, he couldn’t even afford to renovate the old house, let alone buy a new one.

Now, his daughter and son-in-law were saying they would buy him a new house, making his years of longing close to fulfillment. How could Han Bowwen not be thrilled!

"Let’s not wait until tomorrow. There’s no time like the present. Since we’ve got to buy sooner or later, why not go ahead and buy it now?"

"Moving into the new house sooner will also save us the money for staying at the hotel, don’t you think?"

Han Bowwen was impatient, unable to wait even another day, wishing he could move into the new house that very second.

Han Jingting gave a wry smile.

She was out all day yesterday and had intended to return to the company to handle various tasks, but seeing her father’s eagerness, she didn’t feel it was right to say much more.

"Alright, then let’s go now."

After that, Chen Xuan started the car and took Han Jingting and Han Bowwen on the way.

"Dad, do you have any requirements for the house type or location?"

"Or, is there any housing complex you’re fond of?"

Han Jingting asked from the car.

Han Bowwen replied with excitement, "Of course! If possible, why don’t we buy in Yuanheng Huating!"

Although Han Bowwen couldn’t afford a house, he was very attentive to all the major housing complexes in Huai City.

Yuanheng Huating was located in the center of Huai City, and was a project by a major developer following a mid-to-high-end approach, which greatly appealed to Han Bowwen.

To be able to buy an apartment there was something Han Bowwen had dreamt of!

Han Jingting had no knowledge about housing complexes and agreed without hesitation, "Okay, then let’s head to Yuanheng Huating!"
