Chapter 199 -199: It’s Wrong to Speak Ill of Someone Behind Their Back

“What? You want a divorce?”

Mr. Zhou simply couldn’t believe it, “You insisted on marrying him before, why the regret now? Did he do something to wrong you? Yuanyuan, rest assured, Daddy will always have your back.”

Even without the company, he could not bear to let his daughter suffer the slightest grievance.

With a sigh, Zhou Yuan thought for a moment before saying, “Dad, Mom, he actually didn’t do anything to wrong me. If there must be blame, it’s that he doesn’t love me. But not loving someone isn’t a fault.”

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou couldn’t help but exchange glances.

This issue had always been under discussion because, in their view, it had been their daughter’s unrequited feelings all along. Still, seeing how happy she looked, they didn’t have the heart to discourage her.

So, had their daughter come to her senses now?

But Mrs. Zhou still asked, “Yuanyuan, Gu Cheng indeed hasn’t paid much attention to you, but you used to be happily oblivious, right? What’s changed now… did something happen that made you change your mind about him?”

Zhou Yuan said, “His ex-girlfriend came back, and there’s still love between them.”

After saying this, Zhou Yuan showed them the photos on her phone.

On seeing the photos, Mrs. Zhou couldn’t help but say indignantly, “Gu Cheng has really gone too far. What does it matter if she’s an ex-girlfriend? He’s got a child now, and yet he’s still at her beck and call!”

“Exactly, the divorce is a must!” agreed Mr. Zhou.

At this moment, the family’s housekeeper entered, “Mr. Zhou, Madam, Mr. Gu is here.”

The mention of Gu Cheng slightly weakened Mr. Zhou’s demeanor.

However, it was just professional habit; after a moment, he straightened his back and mustered his courage to say loudly, “Tell him not to come in, let him go back to his ex-girlfriend.”

The housekeeper walked to the door and shouted outside, “Mr. Zhou said, go to your ex-girlfriend!”

Everyone: “…”

Gu Cheng called Zhou Yuan, but she did not answer.

After a long while, Mrs. Zhou picked up, still somewhat rationale, “Gu Cheng, Yuanyuan’s at home, but she’s not in a good mood and doesn’t really want to see you. What do you need?”

Gu Cheng said, “I would like to see her, Mom, please open the door.”

Mr. Zhou looked at Zhou Yuan, “Yuanyuan, let’s let him in to talk. Let’s settle whatever it is.”

Zhou Yuan huffily said, “I don’t want to see him. You guys talk to him and get him to sign the divorce papers while you’re at it.”

Then she went upstairs and locked herself in.

Gu Cheng came in with a gift, respectfully greeting his in-laws.

But Mr. Zhou kept a stern face, and Mrs. Zhou did not look pleased either.

Mr. Zhou said, “Yuanyuan has been wronged quite a bit, she’s even thinking about divorce.”

Gu Cheng explained, “I went to see my ex-girlfriend today because she was in trouble.”

“What trouble needs you to be there personally? You could arrange for someone else to help, or you could have asked me instead,” said Mr. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou nudged her husband and rolled her eyes.

Go to hell with your big ideas!

Mr. Zhou said, “Ah Cheng, you know Yuanyuan is inexperienced; she’s been pampered by us since childhood. Whatever she likes, we never refuse, so even though we knew you didn’t love her when she insisted on marrying you, we still let her. She’s been with you for so long, even if she were just a little dog, you’d feel sorry for her if she was hurt, wouldn’t you? But we haven’t seen that compassion from you.”

“I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I…”

“Could you stop seeing your ex-girlfriend from now on?” Mrs. Zhou asked.

Gu Cheng didn’t answer immediately, as if hesitating and conflicted. He thought about Li Zhen’s frail body and the poor girl and felt he wanted to help her somehow.

Mr. Zhou said, “If Yuanyuan had an ex-boyfriend and she kept seeing him, you’d get jealous too.”

Mrs. Zhou added, “And Yuanyuan wants a divorce, to walk away with nothing.”

Gu Cheng glanced upstairs, “I want to talk to Yuanyuan face to face.”

Mr. Zhou said, “Yuanyuan doesn’t want to see you; she just wants a divorce.”

Gu Cheng couldn’t believe it.

Zhou Yuan had always liked him so much; how could she be willing to divorce him?

He went upstairs to knock on the door, but Zhou Yuan simply wouldn’t open it, and with the in-laws right behind him, he found it pointless and stopped knocking.

“Yuanyuan, I’ll go back first. There’s nothing between Li Zhen and me… If you think it over, come back, okay? I’ll be waiting for you at home.”

After Gu Cheng left, Zhou Yuan lay on the bed in her room, flipping through photos from recent times.

Ever since they got married, she had often pestered him to take selfies together. He didn’t want to, but he had to. She liked to use beauty filters, but he mocked her, saying that with them, who could tell who these two people were?

Still, she persevered in taking photos, and her phone gallery was full of their selfies.

There were also some she took secretly, like him sleeping, eating, and even watching TV in the living room.

Zhou Yuan looked for a while, then steeled her resolve and deleted them all.

Finally, she took out today’s prenatal checkup report.

Tears in her eyes, she decided that even if she got divorced, she would give birth to the child. Worst comes to worst, she could go abroad, preventing Gu Cheng from ever seeing the child. After all, he could have another with Li Zhen.

Sunflower Primary School in the Military District Courtyard.

Fang Xia didn’t rush off after school; instead, she waited for Fang Shuai.

Fang Shuai was on the school’s soccer team and had training every day after class.

Fang Xia read a book by the field as she waited. Soon, someone approached her.

“Teacher Bao Min,” Fang Xia greeted politely.

Bao Min was her homeroom teacher this term, and there was an unspoken rule in the school that whoever was Fang Xia’s homeroom teacher would take care of her and her brother. That’s why Bao Min had asked Su Meixi to take responsibility for Fang Xia and Fang Shuai.

“Xiao Xia, are you doing well in your new family?” Bao Min asked.

Xiao Xia nodded, “Yeah, I’m doing pretty well.”

She wasn’t lying; she genuinely looked happy.

“Is Aunt Su treating you well?” Bao Min asked, not willing to give up.

“Quite well. Aunt Su wakes us up, makes us breakfast, and the dinner is really tasty,” said Fang Xia, who occasionally got to use a cell phone and knew that it wasn’t easy for someone as young as Su Meixi to make breakfast.

She had even bought some small kitchen appliances like an electric griddle and an egg fryer.

Bao Min asked, “And how’s the taste of the food?”

Fang Xia nodded again, “Pretty good. My brother and I aren’t picky eaters. The instructor also tells us not to be picky and to eat whatever is available.”

Bao Min said, “But I’ve heard… Aunt Su is quite lazy, often doesn’t go out, and just wears pajamas and eats instant noodles at home.”

Fang Xia gave Bao Min a puzzled look, “Who said that? Gossiping about others behind their backs is not right. Aunt Su isn’t like that.”

Bao Min: “…”
