Zhang Yan pursed her lips and said, "Look at how nervous you are. Mom has always been good at judging people, and she thinks highly of Mr. Huo. She believes he is a good person, responsible and reliable. You should hurry up and divorce Huang De Han. This situation is not sustainable."
She actually hoped that her daughter would be with Mr. Huo.
"Mom, you're overthinking it. Huo Jian Sheng and I are just friends," Li Man said helplessly. She added, "I do plan to divorce Huang De Han, but he has disappeared. I don't know where he went. To proceed with the divorce, I have to file a lawsuit against him."
"Well, whenever you have the time, go ahead and take care of it," Zhang Yan suggested.
"I know, I will."
"Do you really plan to bring Duo Duo over here for school?" Zhang Yan asked anxiously. She was worried that Li Man was just trying to comfort her.
In fact, Huang Duo Duo wanted to study abroad, and Li Man had asked Gu Ya to help find a school for her.
After some thought, Li Man asked, "Mom, have you ever considered living abroad?"
"What? Are you planning to go abroad?" Zhang Yan asked in surprise.
Li Man explained, "Well, Duo Duo wants to study abroad. Because of Huang De Han's actions, her classmates made fun of her. So, she doesn't want to stay in China."
The thought of her child being bullied made Zhang Yan feel heartbroken. She scolded, "This Huang De Han has caused so much harm. Not only did he harm himself, but he also harmed our child. With the things he has done, how will our child hold her head up high in the future?"
Li Man sighed, "Let's not talk about him anymore. Mom, why don't you come with us?"
Zhang Yan didn't mind at all. She was all alone now, and she could go anywhere.
"Have you made the necessary arrangements?" Zhang Yan asked, concerned.
"I have friends abroad. I asked them to help me contact schools," Li Man replied.
"Do you have enough money? If not, I have some. We can go to a better school," Zhang Yan said generously.
Hearing her mother's words, Li Man was delighted. "Mom, are you willing to come with us?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Yes, I also want to go out and relax. I just hope you won't find me annoying."
"No way, how could I find you annoying? Wherever we go, I'll be with you," Li Man said, leaning her head on her mother's shoulder and acting spoiled.
Zhang Yan looked content and asked, "When are you planning to leave?"
"The procedures haven't been completed yet, so it won't happen so soon. It might be next year," Li Man replied.
"That's not urgent then. Okay, you can go now. Clean up the guest room for Mr. Huo," Zhang Yan said, feeling a bit tired and wanting to rest.
"Alright, Mom. You rest," Li Man said, standing up and handing the property deed and bankbook to Zhang Yan. "Mom, please keep these for now. I'll need them, and I'll ask you for them later."
"Okay."
Zhang Yan locked these items in the safe.
...
Li Man originally wanted Huo Jian Sheng to stay at home, but there were only four rooms in the house. One room was where Li Liangsheng used to live, one was occupied by Zhang Yan, and one was Li Man's. The remaining room was not enough for Huo Jian Sheng and Xinyu to stay together.
So Li Man booked a hotel for them.
Over the next two days, Li Man and Zhang Yan were busy preparing the things needed for the funeral and arranging the memorial hall.
Mr. Huo, too, lent a helping hand.
Chen Xiaohui took a day off and specially came to attend Li Liangsheng's funeral.
After paying their respects to Li Liangsheng, Mr. Huo took Xinyu back home.
Chen Xiaohui asked Li Man to stay at home for a few more days and not rush back. She had hired another barbecue chef now, so even if Li Man wasn't there, it wouldn't be so tiring anymore.
