The Wife Is A Superstar 7

Chapter 1395 No Mercy

Jihoon's expression turned dark at his wife's warning. "What do you mean? You plan to divorce me?"

Jia snorted. "I'm not stupid to divorce you because of your first family. As long as you don't personally sin against me, I won't divorce you. But I can always leave an old man like you to live alone in this big, ancient residence. I still have my own house where I used to live with my niece. Alice and I can live by ourselves. I still have my own savings from when I was still working. It may not be much compared to yours, but it's enough for me to live on. Alice also has her own successful career. She doesn't need me to financially support her anymore. It's nice to have a husband, but I don't need one to feed myself! Hmph!"

"Jia, you." he sighed.

It was very rare for his wife to throw a tantrum, but whenever she did, it meant that her tolerance had reached its limit. She had always been understanding of the issues with his children and exes. But after Donghwi and Mao Qiu's wedding, she didn't bother hiding her indignance about how she was treated.

He loved this wife. He didn't want to divorce her. This was why he had been doing his best to make it up to her after the wedding. He even took a rare day off today just to spend time with her. Unfortunately, his eldest son just had to ruin it again.

Jia reiterated her warning. "I'm telling you. There has to be a limit to how often you help your eldest son. He's an adult, for goodness' sake! Your other children no longer rely on you as your eldest son does! And remember that your first grandson is involved in this matter! I dare you save Mao Qiu after what she did to Little Jun!"

He took a deep breath as his eyes turned cold. But, of course, this coldness wasn't directed at his wife but at his new daughter-in-law.

"Don't worry, wife. I know what to do."

"Hmph!"

She left the room and went to her niece's studio. There was no way that she would join her husband in meeting Donghwi. She might really lose it when facing her stepson. So it was better to leave it to her husband. Whether he would make a satisfactory decision or not remained to be seen. He leaned back on his chair and released a heavy sigh. It was at times like this that he felt his age. He was really getting old now.

Before this, he never really had any significant problems with his eldest son. It had always been his youngest daughter who made trouble left and right, causing him headaches almost every day back then. When Jennie changed for the better, he thought he could finally sit back and relax. He never imagined that it would be his eldest son's turn to cause trouble left and right like this. He had been doing his best to protect his eldest son despite his increasing disappointment. No matter what, he was still his child. He couldn't find it in his heart to completely leave his son to suffer. This time, however, was a different matter. It involved his grandchild.

Jun is his first-ever grandson. His importance in his heart was different. "Bring my son here," he instructed. The chamberlain obeyed.

A few minutes later, Donghwi arrived. He didn't look as haggard as Jihoon expected. Still, all the accumulated stress took a toll on his son's usually handsome face. His eyes were dull. He looked like he was more tired of the world than his father. "Father," he greeted.

"You want to ask my help for your wife."

He was direct to the point. His words were not a question but a statement.

"Y-yes. Father—"

"I won't help this time, son."

"—huh, what?"

"I said I won't help your wife."

He stared at his father for a long time. Jihoon met his son's eyes. He was prepared for an argument, but his son only nodded, contrary to expectations. There was a sense of defeat in his son's overall demeanour. His shoulders were slumped as if he was carrying all the weight in the world. "I understand, Father." he plopped himself on a seat, no longer caring about his image in front of his father. He just didn't have the energy to care anymore.
