Before the Lantern Festival had passed,
Xia Chu returned to Su City once more because the divorce case between Ye Shuhua and Xia Benjun was about to come to trial.
Since Xia Benjun adamantly refused to agree to a divorce, Xia Chu, on behalf of Ye Shuhua, subsequently asked Officer Fan to relay her message twice.
He stubbornly persisted, "Our relationship hasn't broken down, on what basis should we divorce? Just because I made a mistake, is it unforgivable?"
"I admit my error and am willing to take full responsibility. When I get out in the future, I will surely live a good life, please give me another chance!"
Although he no longer dared to say things like 'I'll drag you down even if it kills me,'
the implication remained the same.
He would not agree to a divorce until the very last moment.
Because he knew that as long as the divorce wasn't finalized, he still had a glimmer of hope, without it there would be no hope at all!
Naturally, they could only meet in court then.
