Because I simply love you Chapter 189: The place where he once stood

Chapter 189: The place where he once stood

Huian didn’t understand what was going on. She quickly scrolled down.
With all the news articles rampaging on the internet, the public was mercilessly bashing Huian online. It came as a huge shocker to everybody.
“So cheap!”
“Aren’t they childhood friends? How could she betray Liu Jinhai like that?”
“I cannot believe one can be this desperate to stoop so low! She knew he didn’t love her, yet she forced him.”
“She even tried to drug him. How disgusting!”
“She must want to get pregnant to keep forcing him into this marriage.”
One video clip also went viral, which was her confession a news reporter had recorded in Chen banquet. Watching the video clip, thousands of netizens ruthlessly shamed her.
“How shameless was she to blame Nana for everything that happened!?”
“Poor Nana. Hey, don’t you remember how Tang Suyin tried to drug Nana and get her violated?”
“One was Chen Jianyu’s ex and the other Liu Jinhai’s wife.”
“Yes! Seriously, these rich heiresses are nothing but scheming b*tches. Their plans went wrong, and poor Liu Jinhai and Nana got messed up in it.”
“That woman is a psycho. She needs to be admitted to an institution.”
Huian was enraged, reading all the curses everyone was firing at her. She wanted to throw her phone hard.
What happened? How is everything suddenly exposed!?
Whatever occurred in Chen banquet wasn’t allowed to be made public under Xiang Wei’s influence. And after that every talk, every discussion was privately done in Liu villa. So how did it leak out?
What the hell is with this fake news! Jinhai and I have divorced? What rubbish is this!?
She dashed out and found Liu Hai, Liu Chunhua, and Jing in the main hall.
“Mom! Dad! Did you look at the Weibo just now? What nonsense news has somebody published!? They are saying that Jinhai and I are divorced.”
Silence.
“Everybody is cursing me about what happened at the banquet. How did it get out? Dad, didn’t my dad suppress the news? T-then how?”
Liu Chunhua and Liu Hai glanced at each other.
Huian angrily said, “Dad, I want you to sue that person who had the guts to spread this fake news! People are already calling Jinhai my ex-husband. How can I tolerate this? You have to punish him!”
Liu Hai got up and looked at Huian seriously. “It is true.”
“What?”
“Whatever is being said is true. Since yesterday, you are no longer Jinhai’s wife.”
Huian blinked her eyes. “Dad, I don’t understand. What are you saying? I’m Jinhai’s wife.”
“No, you are not.”
She was getting crazy. “Dad, please, this is not the time to joke. I’m serious here. Just look at the Weibo.”
“I’m also deadly serious. Jing.”
“Yes, dad.” He brought the papers.
Liu Hai handed it to Huian. “These are the divorce papers that you signed yesterday.”
“What nonsense!” She snatched the papers and looked at them.
And the whole earth shook beneath her feet. It was as if she was struck by lightning.
Huian read each word.
‘This divorce agreement is made and entered into as of this date XXXX.XX.XX between Liu Jinhai, the husband and Liu Huian, the wife who have mutually agreed to live separately forever on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.’
On every page, she saw Jinhai and her sign written below.
Her hands were shaking. “W-what is this? How is this possible? No…I didn’t sign any divorce papers. Yesterday I signed the contract and-“
Then it struck her. She looked at Liu Hai, horrified.
“The contract…”
Liu Hai said, “Yes. The contract. They were divorce papers. The contract was fake.”
The world crashed down.
Divorce…? Not Jinhai’s wife anymore…?
She looked at Liu Chunhua. “Mom, what is dad saying? Tell him it is not funny anymore. He is freaking me out.”
Liu Chunhua said nothing.
Jing said, “You should freak out because this is the reality.”
Liu Hai shook his head. “We had to do this. Even after we tried to make you so understand so many times, you were just not ready to listen. You had cheated him into this marriage. Not only Jinhai loves Nana, but she is also pregnant with his child. This was necessary so that they could marry.”
Marry? She blankly stared at him.
“Yes. After Xin settled your divorce formalities in court, Jinhai and Nana…got their marriage certificates yesterday.”
The divorce papers fell from her hand. She was close to getting a panic attack.
“Jinhai and Nana got married…?”
Liu Hai took a deep breath. “Yes. She is now Jinhai’s wife. Liu Nana.”
She felt dizzy, but she forced herself to stand steady. “No…no, no, no! This cannot be true! You are lying. You all are lying! I-I-…Jinhai…yes…I want to talk to Jinhai. He will prove you wrong.” She was mumbling incoherently.
Her fingers were quivering while dialing his number. But there was no response. She tried many times, but the result was still the same.
“Why is he not picking up the phone!?” She was infuriated and panicked. “W-wait, he is in the office, right? I will go meet him there right now!”
Liu Chunhua tried to intervene. “Huian, you…”
But Jing interrupted. “Mom, let her go.”
Huian dashed out of Liu villa to leave for Liu Corps.

A while later, Jinhai and Nana returned home. Grandma Liu immediately came up to him. Her face was red in anger, and she was trembling all over.
“Liu Jinhai! What is this I am hearing!? You divorced Huian!? The whole contract thing was a hoax? How could you do this?”
Nana tightened her grip in Jinhai’s hand. He squeezed back and assured her.
Jinhai said indifferently, “I have only returned what you and Huian gave me two years back. Betrayal. Tell me. How does it feel, Grandma? Being on the side where I once stood.”
