Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 133 Respect Her, Be Considerate of Her (2)

She had been divorced from Song Guotao for some time, but she hadn’t yet reorganized the contacts in her phone. She hadn’t even mentioned their divorce to Song Guotao’s family and friends, nor had she contacted them during this period. She had no idea how Song Guotao had informed them about the divorce.

Why would Song Guotao’s mother call her at this time?

"Wanwan, are you free now? Can you talk?" As soon as the call connected, the noisy background of Ye Guihua’s location and her accented Mandarin came through.

"Mom, what’s the matter?" Mi Wan replied with a question, out of habit. The familiar term slipped out as soon as she opened her mouth, causing Mi Wan to pause. She shifted her gaze and met Ji Dongquan’s gaze. For some reason, she suddenly felt a pang of guilt as if she had done something wrong. She quickly diverted her gaze to the smooth tabletop in front of her.

"I heard Guotao was injured and hospitalized, and I couldn’t rest easy. I took the train to Jin City overnight." On the other end of the phone, Ye Guihua raised her voice to be heard over the noise of the train station. "I’m at the train station now, Wanwan, which hospital is Guotao in? Can you tell me how to get there, what transportation to take to find Guotao?"

Listening to Ye Guihua’s loud and urgent voice, Mi Wan hesitated for two or three seconds but couldn’t bring herself to be harsh. Imagining the kind-hearted Ye Guihua wandering helplessly in the crowded train station, Mi Wan’s heart softened instantly.

Song Guotao was Song Guotao. The matters between them had nothing to do with Ye Guihua. Moreover, Ye Guihua had always been good to her. Out of respect for the past, Mi Wan couldn’t ignore her.

"Mom, find a seat in the waiting hall of the train station and sit down. Don’t wander around. I’ll come to pick you up now."

Ye Guihua was illiterate. Although she had visited Jin City a few times before, each time either she or Song Guotao had picked her up directly from the station. She didn’t know her way around at all. Hence, Mi Wan wasn’t at ease letting her find Song Guotao on her own, and she needed to clarify their divorce to avoid any future misunderstandings or awkwardness.

After hanging up, Mi Wan looked at Ji Dongquan apologetically. Before she could say anything, Ji Dongquan understandingly said, "If you have something to do, go ahead."

"Then I’ll be going." Mi Wan stood up, said a few words to He Zerui, and then left.

Watching Mi Wan’s figure disappear at the doorway, He Zerui said with a half-smile, "Mr. Ji, aren’t you being too generous?" You actually agreed to let Mi Wan go to the train station to pick up her ex-mother-in-law?

Although they hadn’t fully heard Mi Wan’s conversation, both of them were smart enough to grasp the situation from Mi Wan’s words.

Faced with He Zerui’s teasing and questioning, Ji Dongquan was completely unfazed and confidently said, "She can handle some things herself; I don’t need to intervene."

Given Mi Wan’s personality, even if she stayed for the meal, she wouldn’t be at ease. Sometimes, knowing someone well means he prefers to respect and empathize with her. Coming back to find her this time, he wanted her to be happy; thus, every action and decision he made was based on that intention.

Driving to the train station and contacting her by phone, Mi Wan quickly found Ye Guihua.

Nearly sixty years old, but looking even older, with graying hair and a weathered face. Her eyes showed a mix of timidity and tenderness, and upon seeing Mi Wan, she gave a shy and slightly embarrassed smile.

Honest people can’t hide their thoughts. From Ye Guihua’s expression, Mi Wan could tell she knew about her and Song Guotao’s divorce, probably just recently; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so calm before.

"Auntie, let me take your luggage." Mi Wan reached out her hand to take the luggage from Ye Guihua.

"Auntie?"

Hearing the unfamiliar and estranged term, Ye Guihua’s innocent face showed surprise and bewilderment as she looked at Mi Wan, saying, "Wanwan, you called me mom on the phone?"

"Auntie, you probably know? Song Guotao and I have already divorced; it’s not appropriate to continue calling you mom." Mi Wan said calmly.

"This... you two..." Ye Guihua, an awkward person in speech, was at a loss for words to address the uncomfortable issue.

Seeing Ye Guihua’s embarrassed reaction, Mi Wan gently put her arm around her frail shoulders and said, "Let’s get in the car first and talk inside."

This close gesture from Mi Wan reassured Ye Guihua significantly, knowing Mi Wan harbored no resentment towards her.

Ye Guihua didn’t entirely understand what happened between Song Guotao and Mi Wan. After receiving Song Guotao’s call yesterday, she heard he was injured and divorced and became extremely anxious. Upon questioning him, Song Guotao only said he had a woman outside, and Mi Wan refused to forgive him, leading to the divorce. He didn’t clarify the reasons for his injury, just mentioned it was an accident.

Ye Guihua had two sons. Due to the family’s poverty, the elder son had given up his education early to allow the younger one, Song Guotao, to study. Song Guotao had lived up to their expectations, not only going to university but also establishing himself in the big city and finding a gentle and beautiful wife.

This story had spread back in their hometown and became quite a legend. Because of this, their family was well-respected in the village. As the village’s first university student and first lawyer, Song Guotao was both their family’s pride and the village’s honor.

However, Ye Guihua never expected this son, who always made her proud, to commit such a foolish act!

What did he do wrong?

He actually kept a woman outside!

Undoubtedly, in Ye Guihua’s simple and traditional mindset, this was a downright disgraceful act! Hence, facing Mi Wan, she felt embarrassed, awkward, and guilty. She believed deep down that it was her son who wronged Mi Wan.

"Wanwan, is Xuanxuan okay recently?" With the parents divorced, the child inevitably suffered too. Thinking of this, Ye Guihua asked worriedly.

"She’s doing fine. Xuanxuan is very sensible. She has accepted and understood our decision to divorce." Mi Wan said as she thoughtfully helped Ye Guihua with her seatbelt, maintaining a faint smile on her face to ease any potential discomfort.

Upon hearing this, Ye Guihua remained silent.
