Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Persuading Him to Divorce Hai Xiaotang_1

Hai Xiaotang had actually only studied at C University for one semester before she took a leave of absence to go to Switzerland.

But the fact that she was seemingly given preferential treatment, infuriated everyone!

Not only that, people claimed that there’s no way Hai Xiaotang could have gotten such good results on her exam without similar preferential treatment from her teacher.

The most absurd part was, someone even came forward claiming to be Hai Xiaotang’s first love.

He spread rumors that Hai Xiaotang had a promiscuous private life, constantly seeking male company, branding her as a tarnished woman…

All in all, the abuse directed at Hai Xiaotang was becoming increasingly severe.

It’s as if people were deliberately attempting to humiliate her, slinging mud onto her reputation.

Hai Xiaotang and Dongfang Yu both knew that their adversaries, hidden in the shadows, were intensifying their efforts as they paid no heed to the rumors.

Rumors could kill a person!

It could even effortlessly bring a marriage to its knees.

If Dongfang Yu harbored even the slightest doubt about Hai Xiaotang, or couldn’t endure the pressure and began to quarrel with her, their relationship would inevitably crumble sooner or later.

Even if Dongfang Yu didn’t mind the rumors, his family would.

The Dongfang Family were nobility in C City. They could never let someone like Hai Xiaotang tarnish their reputation…

After enduring quietly for a period of time, they finally lost their patience!

People started banding together to persuade Dongfang Yu to divorce Hai Xiaotang.

However, Dongfang Yu would definitely not pay heed to them, nor show them any respect.

Anyone suggesting he divorced Hai Xiaotang was essentially poking a tiger!

Even if he had to give up the Dongfang Family, he would never divorce Hai Xiaotang!

However, the Dongfang Family utterly believed that the company was losing money daily only because of Hai Xiaotang.

What they didn’t know is that someone was sabotaging them behind the scenes.

Hai Xiaotang was just a decoy, designed to destroy both Dongfang Yu’s company and their marriage.

Because once Hai Xiaotang no longer had Dongfang Yu’s protection, it would be easier for them to manipulate her and get to Hai Zhiyuan!

However, Dongfang Yu couldn’t say all this.

If he said it, it would drag him into far too many things, especially one particular secret that, if leaked, would lead to unstoppable chaos.

So, Dongfang Yu could only use his firm hand to suppress all voices suggesting their divorce.

Although he can stop others from filling Hai Xiaotang’s ears with these talks, he couldn’t stop his own parents…

…

When Dongfang Yu wasn’t at home, Hai Xiaotang was politely invited over by the butler of Dongfang Mansion.

Hai Xiaotang hadn’t quite realized what the invitation was for.

But she could more or less guess that it had something to do with the increasingly intense rumors.

However, upon arriving at Dongfang Mansion and seeing both of Dongfang Yu’s parents waiting for her, she immediately realized the gravity of the situation.

If it had been only Dongfang Yu’s mother, the issue might not have been so serious.

But since his father was also involved, it clearly indicated the situation was dire.

“Xiaotang, come sit down,” He Meilian beamed as she saw her arrival.

Despite her smile, Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but feel tense.

“Dad, Mom, what did you want to talk to me about?” Hai Xiaotang took a seat, asking in confusion.

He Meilian chuckled, “It’s about the recent incidents. You and Yuyu have been having a hard time, haven’t you?”

As expected, it was about those matter…

Hai Xiaotang nodded, “Indeed, there have been some troubles. It doesn’t affect me too much, but I think the pressure on Dongfang Yu is greater.”

He Meilian was surprised, “You’re aware that Yuyu is under a lot of pressure?”
