Chapter 161 Godmother
September 2018, 9, Thursday, the sky is sunny.
The sky is high, the clouds are light, and the wind is gentle.
A man and a woman came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, both with a look of relief on their faces.
Standing at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Li Jiao took the little red notebook in her hand, looked at it, then raised it above her head and looked at it for a long time.
She breathed a sigh of relief, put the divorce certificate into her bag, and said with a smile: "Brother Bai Jing, you are free."
Wen Baijing held the divorce certificate in his hand, his shoulders unconsciously relaxed, he lowered his eyes to look at the divorce certificate in his hand, smiled with relief, and said nothing.
Seeing Wen Baijing turning around to leave, Li Jiao asked, "Are you busy? Can you sit together for a while?"
He quickly added, "We haven't had a serious chat since we got engaged."
If they can't be husband and wife, there's no need to be enemies. In recent years, Wen Baijing has come to realize more and more that he can't make enemies everywhere, and he still has to deal with the situation.
The two drove separately and arrived at a nearby teahouse one after the other.
The tea artist in cheongsam was making tea with smooth movements. After the tea artist divided the tea, Li Jiao signaled the tea artist to leave.
Li Jiao was a little curious: "Is she really worth it for you to do this?"
Wen Baijing picked up the teacup, held it under his nose to smell it, took a sip, and smiled without comment.
It seems that he doesn't want to talk about this topic with Li Jiao.
Li Jiao shrugged, picked up the teacup and put it down again, saying, "Brother Bai Jing, I'm sorry, I was wrong at the beginning. I really wanted to marry you, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
Wen Baijing put down his teacup, his face darkening a little: "I don't know what you've been through over the years, but that's not a reason for you to hurt others. If you use extreme means to achieve your goals, the truth will eventually come out."
Li Jiao lowered her head and said, "I had no choice. Please forgive me."
The attitude seems sincere.
Wen Baijing glanced at her from head to toe and shook his head: "The person you feel most sorry for is Ye Zhenzhen. You should apologize to her."
Li Jiao raised her head: "Do you really want to marry a nightclub girl? Do you think Grandpa will agree? Aren't you afraid of public opinion?"
Seeing that Li Jiao had no intention of apologizing to Ye Zhenzhen, Wen Baijing only said: "She is no longer that person. Please be careful with your words in the future." After that, he stood up, pulled out a chair and prepared to leave.
Li Jiao stood up: "Why is she worthy of you doing this?"
Wen Baijing said coldly: "Sorry, this is my personal matter."
Li Jiao sat down in frustration. "Since you didn't treat me unfairly during the divorce, I will keep it a secret from Grandpa for now. How are you going to tell Grandpa?"
Wen Baijing picked up the phone: "I can handle it myself."
Li Jiao asked, "Have you really not had any contact with each other in private over the years? Are you secretly supporting her?"
Originally, he was too lazy to clarify. Thinking of damaging Ye Zhenzhen's reputation, Wen Baijing turned his head slightly and glanced at Li Jiao coldly: "She is not that kind of person. You won't understand."
After saying this, he strode away.
Three years and one day, the two had been suffering in their marriage for three years, being a couple in name only, and this farce finally ended.
In the three years and four months since Wen Baijing got engaged, Wen Baijing and Ye Zhenzhen have only met twice.
The journey back to the company was smooth.
He opened the car window and felt extremely comfortable in the autumn breeze. In the rearview mirror, he saw a relaxed face.
As soon as I walked into the office, Lu Yu followed me in happily.
Judging from the look of it, all he needed to do was give Wen Baijing a bouquet of flowers and hang a banner to celebrate.
Lu Yu smiled like a flower, he was so happy: "Take it out and let me see it." He had seen everything except a divorce certificate. Now the opportunity was in front of him and he must not miss it.
Wen Baijing threw the divorce certificate to him, walked back to the desk and sat down, lazily lying in the chair, closing his eyes lightly, and turning the chair casually.
He held the phone in his hand, resting it against his chin, as if he was thinking about something.
Lu Yu took the divorce certificate, walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window, held it up high, and looked up at it again and again.
Tired of looking up, Lu Yu retracted his head, walked to Wen Baijing's desk, handed him the divorce certificate, and said with a smile: "How do you feel? Share your experience of divorce."
Wen Baijing was already accustomed to Lu Yu's gossiping spirit. If he was in a good mood, he would say a few more words; if he was in a bad mood, he would just ignore him.
Wen Baijing suddenly opened his eyes and asked seriously, "Aren't you busy today? How is the preparation of the MCN company going?"
"Well, everything is going well at the company." Lu Yuxu sat beside his desk and asked excitedly, "Will Zhichu's shares be transferred to you?"
Wen Baijing shook his head, a thoughtful look on his face: "You hold it for me first, and we'll talk about it later."
Lu Yu approached him with a mysterious look on his face, kept him in suspense for a long time, and whispered something. Wen Baijing raised his eyebrows after hearing it, "Are you serious?"
Lu Yu's head was like pounding garlic.
Wen Baijing gave a faint smile with satisfaction.
After thinking for a while, he whispered a few words to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu blinked and didn't nod in agreement immediately, feeling a little hesitant.
The two seemed to be a little divided and could not reach an agreement.
Wen Baijing suddenly sat up straight, frowned, and looked at Lu Yu seriously, as if he was determined to do what he said.
Lu Yu seemed to be coerced. He hesitated for a long time and finally nodded in agreement reluctantly.
...
The Mubo main store is very close to Wuyue Plaza, less than 200 meters away on foot.
In the afternoon, Ye Hanxi took Ye Zhenzhen's hand and walked all the way to Wuyue Plaza. The little one loved to eat ice cream, but the weather was cold and she was not allowed to eat it. So she acted coquettishly and cutely towards Ye Zhenzhen, coaxing Ye Zhenzhen to buy it for her.
Ye Zhenzhen naturally didn't dare to buy anything for her, so she could only run back with her in her arms, preparing to hand the little one over to her mother to take care of her. The little one cried all the way, and people who didn't know the truth thought Ye Zhenzhen was a human trafficker.
Ye Hanxi danced in her arms, trying to grab her face and hair, crying, "Uncle..."
The little guy has grown up and now speaks clearly.
"Who taught you to yell like that every day..."
Ye Zhenzhen was a little unsteady in her hold, and was afraid that Ye Hanxi would fall out of her arms, so she could only slow down and hold her up.
The little girl cried so hard that she felt upset. Ye Zhenzhen was sweating with anxiety and deliberately scared her: "If you cry again, I will spank you."
Mother Ye came over slowly, and when she heard what Ye Zhenzhen said, she sounded a little unhappy: "How come you have no patience at all?"
As she said this, she took Ye Hanxi from Ye Zhenzhen's arms to coax her. Seeing her granddaughter's tearful face, Ye's mother looked distressed.
"Zhen Zhen!"
A surprised female voice came from behind me.
Ye Zhenzhen was a little dazed. After being stunned for a moment, she slowly turned around.
A few meters away, Lin Xiaoxi was smiling, holding a little boy of two or three years old in her arms. Her face was full of tenderness, as if she was enjoying a peaceful life.
Lin Xiaoxi walked closer and asked with a smile, "Is that Ye Mao's daughter?"
Ye Zhenzhen nodded and smiled: "Is your son this big now?"
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, which were a little awkward and polite.
Lin Xiaoxi said: "Zhenzhen, do you still hate me?"
Ye Zhenzhen smiled and shook her head without thinking, then squatted down to tease Lin Xiaoxi's son Lin Zixuan.
Lin Xiaoxi also squatted down and said, "I came here specially to say goodbye to you today. I will return to my hometown with my son in a few days."
Ye Zhenzhen pinched Lin Zixuan's chubby little hand, a little surprised: "Aren't you doing well in Yuncheng? Why do you want to go back?"
Lin Xiaoxi touched her son's head and said with a smile: "I want to start over with my child."
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but worry: "Can you do it alone?"
"It's okay. I've saved a lot of money over the years, so I have no problem supporting the child."
"I just want to change the environment for my child and don't want to continue to waste time with him."
Ye Zhenzhen touched Lin Zixuan's face, and her hand suddenly froze for a second, "Well, just think it through. It's not easy to take care of a child alone."
Lin Xiaoxi said that she really couldn't stand being with a man who was ten years older than her. It was too painful to continue wasting time like this. She could go back to her hometown with the money and live a good life there. She couldn't bear to leave behind the son she had given birth to at the cost of her life.
It was not until this moment that Ye Zhenzhen noticed that there was no nanny following Lin Xiaoxi.
"Does Zixuan's father agree?"
Lin Xiaoxi smiled bitterly: "He has a lot of women and children outside. It's just what he wants if we leave. Anyway, he has money and there are plenty of women to give birth to his children."
I haven't seen my best friend for three years, but when we meet, I play the farewell flute.
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly felt a little sad for some reason. All the grievances in the past had long since disappeared with time. As they were about to part, she said with tears in her eyes, "Xiaoxi, I have never hated you. Now you have gotten what you wanted, and I am living a good life. You and Zixuan should be well."
In the second half of 2011, Ye Zhenzhen just started working at the supermarket. At that time, she didn’t know any of her colleagues. Others were talking and laughing at work, but she was introverted and used to being alone. It was Lin Xiaoxi who took the initiative to talk to her and pulled her into mixing with her colleagues.
In this strange city, Lin Xiaoxi was the first person to give her warmth and kindness.
After breaking up with Yu Hui, it was Lin Xiaoxi who never tired of comforting and counseling her.
Ye Zhenzhen was finally able to gain a foothold in Yuncheng. She and Lin Xiaoxi went from being good friends to strangers, and they didn't know when they would see each other again.
"Zhenzhen, I'm sorry. Believe it or not, I never meant to hurt you. The ID card incident was just a coincidence."
Lin Xiaoxi said that she did not intend to use Ye Zhenzhen's ID card to check into a room with the man. It was the man who registered at the hotel front desk when he came to see her.
"Yeah, I believe it."
"Zhenzhen, I wish you all the best. I hope you can be happy soon. Let me know when you get married. I will come to your wedding if I have the chance."
Lin Xiaoxi hugged her son and said goodbye to her. Lin Zixuan smiled very cutely, waved his little hand at her, and said goodbye in a baby voice.
Under the warm sun, she watched Lin Xiaoxi and her son walk away. As she watched Lin Xiaoxi walk step by step in the sun, she heard a burst of laughter coming from the direction of the mother and son.
"Zhenzhen, can we be godmothers to each other's children in the future?"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
