Chapter 440: Chapter 440 Kneeling on the Durian_1

The servant was taken aback, wondering why these items were needed.

Dongfang Yu furrowed his brows and said sternly, “Hurry up and go!”

“Yes…” The servant quickly left and soon returned with the requested items.

Hai Xiaotang was also puzzled about his intentions. However, Zhang’s mother, who was hiding off to the side, seemed to understand.

“Hai Xiaotang, choose one!” Dongfang Yu demanded, staring at her gloomily.

Just as Hai Xiaotang was about to ask what she needed to choose, Zhang’s mother rushed over to shield her, “Son-in-law, you can’t treat the young lady like this! Speak reasonably, she is only doing this for your sake. You can’t treat her in this manner.”

Hai Xiaotang was even more confused. What was Dongfang Yu trying to do?

Dongfang Yu grimaced with a dark expression, “Everybody, get out!”

“No, I will not let you bully my lady!” Zhang’s mother stubbornly shook her head although, in truth, she was terrified of him.

Especially when he lost his temper, everyone was afraid of him.

But for the lady’s sake, she could not leave. She had to protect her.

Dongfang Yu’s reaction cooled, “I told you all to leave. Do I have to escort each of you out individually?!”

“But…”

“Zhang’s mother, you may leave!” Hai Xiaotang said calmly, “I want to see what he intends to do. All of you leave. This is a matter between him and me.”

“But young lady…”

“Enough, Zhang’s mother, just leave!” Hai Xiaotang’s facial expression was firm. Seeing this, Zhang’s mother had no choice but to leave.

Indeed, this was a marital issue. She, as a servant, had no right to interfere.

Once everyone had left, Hai Xiaotang stood up, facing Dongfang Yu, “Tell me, what do you intend to do?”

“Choose one, and kneel down!” Dongfang Yu pointed directly at the objects on the floor, his expression was cold.

Hai Xiaotang was startled. She could hardly believe what she was hearing.

So this was his way of punishing her!

He actually wanted her to kneel…

All of a sudden, Hai Xiaotang couldn’t describe how she felt, only that it was somewhat suffocating, somewhat aggrieved…

Didn’t Dongfang Yu love her very much?

And yet he wanted to punish her by making her kneel on these objects…

Hai Xiaotang felt that a man’s sweet words were simply not to be believed!

At the same time, she felt quite angry.

“Dongfang Yu, don’t push it too far!” She shouted in distress. After all, she wanted to divorce him for his sake.

Did he think she wanted to? Caught in the middle, she couldn’t please anyone. How could he not have considered her feelings?

How could he not have thought about the fact that if he didn’t divorce her, his company would go bankrupt, and everyone would blame her?

It would be her fault in their eyes.

Even his parents would resent her, because they’d believe that she had ruined their son, that she hadn’t persuaded Dongfang Yu to divorce…

However, Dongfang Yu didn’t understand her predicament at all. Not only did he lose his temper at her, but now he was also asking her to kneel on a washboard…

The more Hai Xiaotang thought about it, the more wronged she felt, her eyes brimming with stubborn tears.

Seeing her in this state, Dongfang Yu’s somber expression did not lighten in the slightest, his demeanor still cold as ice.

“I’m excessive, who’s being excessive? You’re divorcing me, I am treating you kindly considering! Hurry and choose one, what will you kneel on?” He urged impatiently.

Hai Xiaotang’s heart ached even more, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

Resentment surged within her, and in a fit of pique, she cried, “Fine then! You want me to choose, right? Alright, the durian! If you want me to kneel, then I will!”

Hai Xiaotang’s words settled, falling into a stunned silence!

Because… Dongfang Yu suddenly knelt down on the durian…
