At this moment, lunch was ready.
Fortunately, Xia Qingwei and Lu Man were also there, so Old Madam instructed the kitchen to prepare more food.
Even though Wang Juhuai was there, it was just an extra set of cutlery.
"How long do you plan to stay in China this time?" Han Xijin asked him at the dining table.
"I'm not sure. I'll come back to take a look and then make plans," Wang Juhuai said.
He originally planned to come back for the Spring Festival, but when he saw Xia Qingwei, he suddenly felt reluctant to leave in such a hurry.
Wang Juhuai glanced at the dining table and suddenly asked, "Xiao Xia, where's your husband? Why didn't he come today? "
Xia Qingwei paused.
Usually, when asked such a question, everyone present would feel awkward.
But at this moment, Old Madam and the others looked happy and did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, they were looking forward to it.
Even Lu Man's face was relaxed.
It seemed that only Xia Qingwei felt awkward.
Xia Qingwei swallowed his rice and said, "I'm divorced."
Old Madam said, "She's been divorced for more than ten years."
Wang Juhuai's spoon fell into the bowl of soup, and some of the soup splashed out.
So, Xia Qingwei had been divorced for more than ten years.
Then, what had he been doing all these years?
Every time he came back, he did not dare to see her, and none of his friends knew her. He did not even have a way to get any information from her.
So every time he came back, he did not know that she had been divorced for so many years!
"Why? Did he not treat you well? "Wang Juhuai's heart tightened.
He was happy that she was divorced, but he was also sad that she was not treated well.
"It's all in the past," Xia Qingwei said. "It's been so long. There's nothing to talk about."
It was all old news, and if he said it out loud, it would make him laugh.
It was not something worth talking about.
Seeing this, Han Xijin patted Wang Juhuai's shoulder, indicating that he should stop asking.
If he really wanted to know, he could talk about it later.
Although Wang Juhuai did not ask, his heart could not calm down for a long time.
Her marriage was unfortunate and she was bullied. Wang Juhuai never thought that it was Xia Qingwei's fault.
She was such a good woman. Once she got married, she would definitely work hard to manage her marriage.
But when she was being bullied, he didn't know.
She was divorced, but he was not around for more than ten years.
It must be difficult for her to raise a child alone after a divorce.
When she needed help and care the most, he was not there.
Wang Juhuai didn't know that Xia Qingwei and Lu Man were having a hard time.
In her previous life, Xia Qingwei had passed away early.
Because of that, Wang Juhuai's heart was heavy and he was in low spirits.
Lu Man looked at him curiously. Xia Qingwei smiled and said, "It's the New Year. Let's not talk about this."
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's not talk about it anymore," the old lady also said with a smile, reinvigorating the atmosphere.
After lunch, Xia Qingwei really couldn't sit still anymore. She didn't stay for long before leaving.
Also, even if Wang Juhuai didn't come, she couldn't stay at the old mansion the whole day.
Han Zhuoli sent Lu Man and Xia Qingwei back. Wang Juhuai watched helplessly. Just as he was about to say that he wanted to leave with them, Han Xijin pressed down on his shoulder.
Wang Juhuai looked at him anxiously. Han Xijin shook his head and said in a low voice, "Don't you want to know how Xia Qingwei was living in the past? Why did she get a divorce?"
Wang Juhuai froze for a moment. Then he lowered his shoulders and didn't chase after them.
Wang Juhuai stood up again as he watched Xia Qingwei leave.
