Chapter 88: Chapter 88: The Disgraced Husband (2)_1

"I’ve heard of divorced wives, but this is the first time I’ve heard of a divorced husband...divorced... means being fired, doesn’t it?" pondered Mama Zhang, shaking her head. "Madam, I think your worries are unfounded. How could Young Master Jingnian possibly be divorced by the third lady?"

"Ha, why is it impossible? I see it happening soon!"

After refuting Mama Zhang’s words with a dismissive attitude, Old Madam Han sighed again. "Jingnian is good in so many ways, but he is just too slow to warm up to people. It’s not just him being slow, he is frightful, I guess..."

From a young age, watching the people he cares about, one after another, leave him - his eldest brother, mother, father, second brother... Gradually, he stopped wanting to care.

Because if he didn’t care, he wouldn’t fear losing.

Thinking about this, a look of heartache emerged on Old Madam Han’s face. "Sigh, one can’t really blame him... Prepare a cup of milk for me later, and let An’an bring it up for me. Just remember not to be too deliberate."

"Madam, rest assured, I know what to do."

...

Descending from the upstairs, Mama Zhang went straight to the kitchen. After a while, she emerged carrying a cup of hot milk. "Third Lady, the madam hasn’t been sleeping well lately. I brewed her a cup of hot milk. Could you take it up to her? I have to watch over this late-night snack in the kitchen."

"Hmm, alright." Xia Wan’an quickly put away her cell phone, stood up to take the tray from Mama Zhang’s hands, and headed upstairs.

Upon reaching her grandmother’s room, Xia Wan’an knocked on the door first, and then, after hearing her grandmother’s voice from inside, she entered. "Grandma."

Old Madam Han was sitting on the couch, wearing her reading glasses and looking at something. She was delighted when she heard Xia Wan’an’s voice, "Oh? An’an, come sit here..."

Xia Wan’an walked over, setting the hot milk down on the coffee table next to her grandmother. After looking into her grandmother’s lap, she realized her grandmother was looking at a photo album.

"I don’t believe I’ve shown you this album before, come take a look - " Old Madam Han said, passing the album to Xia Wan’an. Pointing at a young boy with a brilliant smile, she asked Xia Wan’an, "An’an, do you know who this is?"

The boy was beautiful, vaguely resembling Han Jingnian, but Xia Wan’an couldn’t confirm it, so she shook her head. "I don’t know."

"It’s Jingnian, when he was five years old..." Old Madam Han continued, flipping through the album to show Xia Wan’an more pictures of Han Jingnian. "...This is him at six years old. This is him at ten years old, this is him at twelve... doesn’t he look more like his current self now... this is him at sixteen... he was already quite tall then..."

Having turned to the last page of the album, Old Madam Han flipped back to Han Jingnian’s five-year-old picture. "I like this picture the most because it’s the last picture in which Jingnian was smiling."

"When he was young, Jingnian was adorable. He smiled at everyone, and he was very lovable though rather mischievous. He often bullied his classmates in kindergarten and even led others in pulling up the saplings that had been planted by the principal... Afterwards, he didn’t smile much..."

At this point, Old Madam Han looked at Xia Wan’an with a questioning gaze. "Did I ever tell you about that incident from Jingnian’s childhood?"
