Chapter 997 Yu Haitang's Divorce!
"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

Around 3 p.m., the phone in Jia Dongming's office suddenly rang. Hearing the ring, Jia Dongming picked up the receiver and politely greeted, "Hello! This is Jia Dongming. May I ask who this is?"

"Brother-in-law! This is Haitang! This morning, Zhang Qinghua and I officially divorced." Jia Dongming's question had barely finished when Yu Haitang's cheerful voice came through the phone.

In the storyline of the courtyard house, Yu Haitang first relied on Yang Weimin's nephew to successfully enter the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and become the mill's announcer. Later, after Yang Weimin lost power, Yu Haitang did not hesitate to kick Yang Weimin's nephew to the curb. In order to avoid his harassment, she moved into the courtyard house and stayed at Sha Zhu's house.

Because of the flapping of butterfly wings, in reality, Yu Haitang did not date Yang Weimin's nephew, but instead married Zhang Qinghua, the son of a minor leader in her workplace. Zhang Qinghua's father was gradually marginalized because he refused to take sides. When Yu Haitang saw the Zhang family lose power, she looked down on Zhang Qinghua. When Jia Dongming learned of Yu Haitang's divorce, he was not surprised at all.

When Jia Dongming heard the news from Yu Haitang about her divorce from Zhang Xinhua, and sensed the happiness in her voice, he was speechless. He then asked Yu Haitang, "Haitang! Didn't I tell you a while ago that the Zhang family was marginalized mainly because they chose to protect themselves and didn't want to get involved in certain people's struggles, and that I wanted you to carefully consider the divorce? How could you make this choice?"

Jia Dongming paused slightly after saying this, then said to Haitang, "Haitang! Think back to a few years ago, didn't you often ask me why I would rather stay at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill than advance when I had opportunities for promotion? I told you the reason back then, but why didn't you listen to my advice and broaden your horizons?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question and sensing the regret in his words, Yu Haitang's initial good mood, which had been due to the divorce, vanished instantly, replaced by utter bewilderment. She couldn't help but silently ask herself, "Was I really wrong?"

The moment Yu Haitang had this thought, she immediately dismissed it, even muttering to herself, "The reason I divorced Zhang Qinghua is not because I'm materialistic, but because I simply couldn't stand the emotional abuse from Zhang's family."

After finding an excuse for her divorce, Yu Haitang immediately regained her confidence and hurriedly said to Jia Dongming, "Brother-in-law! Do you really think that I divorced Zhang Qinghua because the Zhang family was marginalized? I divorced Zhang Qinghua because I couldn't stand the way the Zhang family treated me."

Upon hearing Yu Haitang's explanation, Jia Dongming looked puzzled and asked her curiously, "Haitang! You just said that you couldn't stand the Zhang family's attitude towards you, which is why you divorced Zhang Qinghua. Tell me in detail how the Zhang family treated you, which led you to make the decision to divorce them?"

When Yu Haitang heard Jia Dongming ask about the reason for her divorce, she remembered the excuses she had prepared for it and quickly said to Jia Dongming, "Brother-in-law! I have been married to Zhang Qinghua for four years. After we got married, I gave birth to a daughter for Zhang Qinghua. However, after so many years, Zhang's family has been looking at me with disdain and dislike. I really couldn't stand the emotional abuse from Zhang's family, so I chose to divorce Zhang Qinghua."

When Jia Dongming heard Yu Haitang's excuse for the divorce, and considering her personality, he was skeptical of her explanation. He asked Yu Haitang, "Haitang! If you divorce Zhang Qinghua, who will have custody of Xinxin?"

"Of course, it belongs to Zhang Qinghua. After my divorce from Zhang Qinghua, I'll definitely remarry. I can't possibly bring Xinxin, this burden, with me when I remarry, can I?" Yu Haitang answered without hesitation when Jia Dongming asked about her daughter. Hearing Yu Haitang's answer, Jia Dongming frowned and asked her seriously, "Haitang! You just said that the Zhang family favors sons over daughters. If you leave Xinxin with the Zhang family, do you think they'll treat her well?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Yu Haitang felt conflicted, thinking of her daughter. However, considering her future, she quickly made a decision and said to Jia Dongming, "Brother-in-law! Even tigers don't eat their cubs! Even if the Zhang family favors sons over daughters, I believe Zhang Qinghua would never mistreat her own daughter."

Upon hearing Yu Haitang's answer, Jia Dongming could only scoff at her choice and said to her, "Haitang! You chose this path yourself. I just hope you won't regret it later."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reminder, Yu Haitang thought of a man who had been frequently inviting her out lately, and said to Jia Dongming with a hopeful expression, "Brother-in-law! Don't worry! I definitely won't regret my choice in the future."

Upon hearing Yu Haitang's reply and sensing the longing in her words, a thought instantly surged into Jia Dongming's mind. Considering his relationship with Yu Li, Jia Dongming decisively abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to persuade her and said to Yu Haitang with a smile, "Haitang! You are an adult. Since you have made your choice, I will not say anything more. But Xinxin is, after all, your daughter. I hope you can give her more care in your daily life."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Yu Haitang felt a pang of guilt when she thought of her daughter. She assured Jia Dongming, "Brother-in-law! Xinxin is a piece of my flesh and blood. Even if I divorce Zhang Xinhua, I will still marry Xinxin."

Upon hearing Yu Haitang's promise, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Alright! Haitang! Then I wish you that you will soon meet your true love and happiness."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's blessing, Yu Haitang felt as if Jia Dongming had seen through her little thoughts. Feeling guilty, she said to Jia Dongming, "Brother-in-law! I bought some groceries and will be going to my sister's house later. Come over for dinner tonight, and we can celebrate that I'm single again."

After hearing Yu Haitang's words, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment before replying, "Okay! I'll go to your sister's place after get off work."

After Jia Dongming agreed, Yu Haitang immediately smiled and said to him, "Brother-in-law! See you tonight!"
