714 The Truth
Wu Xun did not expect Liu Xiaohong to be so stubborn. He pursed his lips and gradually calmed down.
He looked at Liu Xiaohong and asked in a hoarse voice, “As long as I tell you the reason, you won’t leave with him?”
“Yes, I just want to untie the knot in my heart.” Liu Xiaohong nodded solemnly.
Wu Xun looked at her deeply and said, “Alright, let’s talk somewhere else.”
Blood Stealer nodded seriously. “Indeed, we have to go somewhere else.”
Wu Xun said angrily, “You don’t have to come along. This is between the two of us.”
Blood Stealer shook his head. “That won’t do. If your reason doesn’t convince me, I won’t give Xiaohong to you.”
“You…” Wu Xun was speechless.
“Alright, let’s go together.” Liu Xiaohong decided without thinking.
Hence, the three of them came to Liu Xiaohong’s shop. Only then did Wu Xun tell them the whole story.
It turned out that back then, Wu Xun’s aunt was seriously ill with uremia. At that time, she would die without a kidney transplant. Wu Xun’s aunt was his closest kin. He had been abandoned by his family since he was young. In order to support him, not only did his aunt not get married, but she also provided for him to go to school. In the end, she tired herself out and fell sick.
When Wu Xun found out, he blamed himself. Unfortunately, he did not have the money to pay for the surgery.
The surgery fee was more than 100,000 yuan. He did not have that much money. His aunt told him to give up, but how could he agree?
Initially, he wanted to tell Xiaohong about this. Although he knew that she couldn’t fork out so much money, at least she could go out and borrow it.
Just as he was hesitating, a woman approached him. That woman was his half-sister, Wu Li. She offered him two conditions. If he agreed, she would give him 200,000 yuan.
Wu Xun said self-deprecatingly, “At that time, I was already at my wits’ end and agreed without thinking. However, later on, I found out that the first condition she proposed was actually for me to divorce you.”
Liu Xiaohong’s eyes were red. “Why? I have nothing against her. Why would she want you to divorce me?”
“Her goal isn’t you. She wanted me to marry the daughter of the CEO of Steel Corporation because Wu Shengen wanted to work with Steel Corporation. That’s why he came up with this idea.”
Wu Shengen was Wu Xun’s father.
Blood Stealer couldn’t help but interrupt. “Why does it have to be you? Can’t that CEO’s daughter get married?”
Wu Xun glared at him and said, “Yes, she can’t.”
Blood Stealer and Liu Xiaohong looked at each other and saw confusion in each other’s eyes. “What do you mean?”
Wu Xun looked sad. “His daughter is long dead. They wanted me to marry a dead person. This is called ghost marriage. Have you heard of it?”
Blood Stealer and Liu Xiaohong gasped. Tears streamed down Liu Xiaohong’s face. She did not expect Wu Xun to suffer so much all these years.
Blood Stealer patted him on the shoulder and said, “Brother, I really admire you for having the courage to agree to that condition.”
Wu Xun pushed his hand away from his shoulder. “If you like it, can I find one for you too?”
Blood Stealer shook his head and asked curiously, “Then why did you come back to remarry Xiaohong now? Is there a place to get a divorce in the netherworld?
