Gao Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised. "Oh, you know about alimony?"
Gao Xiaobai spread out his hands. "It's on TV shows."
Gao Xiaoxiao was conflicted. "Xiaobai, stop watching those maudlin television dramas in the future."
"I'm bored. I have nothing to do at home every day," Gao Xiaobai said sadly.
Gao Xiaoxiao was stunned. She put down the mouse, stood up, and walked over.
"Xiaobai." She squatted beside the sofa and looked at his unhappy little face. Her heart ached. "Trust me, after Mommy gets divorced, she will accompany you at home every day."
Gao Xiaobai raised his eyebrows at her. "Aren't you going to look for a job?"
"Uh…" Gao Xiaoxiao blushed and said with a smile," I still have to find a job. Otherwise, how can I support you when the alimony is spent? "
Even if Han Zhen was generous enough to give her a few million yuan, she could not just sit back and do nothing.
"I've already grown up and can support myself." Gao Xiaobai looked at Gao Xiaoxiao seriously.
"You just have to be responsible for growing up happily. Leave the rest to me! Be good…" Gao Xiaoxiao looked at him equally seriously.
Xiaobai was smarter than other kids and had a beautiful appearance. He looked like a mixed-race child. If she had not insisted on rejecting offers all this time, he would probably be a child star now.
But no matter what, he was still a child who did not know the ways of the world. She did not want him to deal with money and fame at such a young age.
Gao Xiaobai nodded. "Alright, all the best, Mommy!"
Gao Xiaoxiao smiled.
Baby, for you, I'll definitely do my best!

The next morning, Gao Xiaoxiao received a call from Zhong Yuhong. "Xiaoxiao, are you really getting a divorce? Is there no way to turn things around?"
Other than the late Old Master Han, Old Madam Han and Zhong Yuhong were sincere people who treated her well.
Gao Xiaoxiao could not bear it but she said, "I'm sorry…"
"Sigh, I know. It hasn't been easy for you all these years. It's Ah Zhen who owes you."
Gao Xiaoxiao did not expect her to agree so quickly and was a little surprised. At the same time, she heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? Although you two are divorced…" Zhong Yuhong paused for a long time before sighing. "Anyway, Xiaoxiao, if you have any difficulties in the future, just let me know. If you have time, come back often. This is still your home…"
Gao Xiaoxiao smiled and replied calmly, "Okay."

At the Han family's mansion.
As soon as he hung up, Han Zhengming's voice came from behind. "What conditions did she state?"
Zhong Yuhong looked at her husband in disapproval. "Xiaoxiao isn't a mercenary girl. She didn't state any conditions."
"Hmph." Han Zhengming was disdainful. "Back then, when dad asked Ah Zhen to marry her, I disagreed. Look what happened now, right? It had been three years, and it still ended up in a divorce!"
Zhong Yuhong sighed and heard Han Zhengming say, "I'll go get the paperwork from Lawyer Shen and resolve this matter immediately."
"Hubby, about the divorce… let's discuss it with Ah Zhen?" Zhong Yuhong asked weakly.
"No." Han Zhengming picked up his suit, pushed the door open, and walked out.
Zhong Yuhong was speechless.

Gao Xiaoxiao returned to Xiangxi Garden at noon. Worried that they would run into Han Zhen, she asked Xiaobai to wait for her at the small supermarket at the entrance.
"Xiaobai, sit here and play for a while. I'll pick you up after I pack my things." Gao Xiaoxiao took out a few coins and handed them to the little guy.
Under her son's resentful gaze, Gao Xiaoxiao quickly left.
