Xu Wan met a man from her industry at a matchmaking party. Two days later, they got their marriage certificate.
She thought she had married an unremarkable corporate legal counsel.
Afte...
Xu Pingshan was stunned for a moment. For the first time in her life, she felt that she had really been blind to have thought that Ma Jun had at least some good qualities for so many years.
Ma Jun, completely oblivious to the woman's expression, strode into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Since the two were there to confirm their divorce, the entire process was completed very quickly.
In just over ten minutes, each person already had a dark red divorce certificate.
Ma Jun carefully examined the divorce certificate before looking up at Xu Pingshan and saying, "I'll transfer all of Xiaolin's child support payments to you in one lump sum later. Then we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore, and you don't need to contact me again. Whatever happens to my business in the future has nothing to do with you."
It was obvious that he was afraid that if he became successful one day, Xu Pingshan would still bother him.
Xu Pingshan's anger flared up. "Fine, fine, then I wish you great success in your career! So that you won't come back to bother me when you're broke one day."
Ma Jun kept waving his hands, saying, "Impossible, impossible."
While a few people were chatting in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Su Ziyu called Jiang Tingzhou's cell phone.
"Brother, are you divorced?"
"Um."
After receiving confirmation, Su Ziyu's tone became cheerful, "Okay, I can finally delete that account and block him."
Jiang Tingzhou said, "Okay, go ahead. Thanks for your time."
During this period, without Su Ziyu's help in putting on an act, Ma Jun would never have been able to get a divorce so easily.
Su Ziyu chuckled and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. Don't forget President Yang's birthday banquet tonight. I'll come to the company to find you beforehand, and we'll go together then."
"Okay." Jiang Tingzhou agreed and looked up in the direction of the Civil Affairs Bureau, seeing Xu Wan leading Xu Pingshan toward the car. "I'll hang up now, see you tonight."
Xu Wan walked to the car, opened the back door for Xu Pingshan first, and waited for her to get in before sitting in the passenger seat herself.
Xu Pingshan held the divorce certificate in her hand and rubbed it repeatedly, sighing, "Oh dear, nearly twenty years of marriage. I thought I would be sad after the divorce, but I didn't expect Ma Jun to pull this stunt on me. I'm not sad at all. On the contrary, I feel fortunate that I don't have to spend the rest of my life with a man like that."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Tingzhou slowly started the car.
“When Ma Jun arrived just now, he kept urging us to hurry up, saying that Sang Zhenzhen’s due date is in the next two days and he wants to go to the hospital to be with her during childbirth.”
Xu Wan briefly recounted what had just happened.
Xu Pingshan sat in the back row with a helpless smile: "Now that I think about it, sometimes I really romanticized him. I was the one who took care of Xiaolin after she was born. He said he was out running business, but I found him drinking at the barbecue stall downstairs several times. To put it bluntly, he was just trying to avoid taking care of the child. When his two sons are born, I'll let him experience the pain of taking care of children."
"It should be soon," Xu Wan said.
Xu Pingshan didn't want to talk about this depressing topic, so she sat up a little straighter and asked, "Wanwan, do you and your niece's husband have any plans to have children?"
Thinking of what happened a few days ago, Xu Wan still didn't believe that anyone could be right every time. She smiled and said, "We have that plan, but let nature take its course."
“Yes, I think it’s better to give birth sooner so you can recover faster. If you and your nephew-in-law are too busy with work to take care of the baby, you can leave the baby with us. Then I can have my sister come and stay with you too. With Mom and my sister helping you take care of the baby, we’ll make sure your baby is healthy.” Xu Pingshan became more and more excited as she spoke. “Next year is the Year of the Dragon, a lucky zodiac sign. Why don’t we start preparing now so the baby will be born in the Year of the Dragon next year?”
Xu Wan glanced at Jiang Tingzhou and explained, "Getting pregnant isn't like buying groceries; you can't just go anytime. It also depends on fate."
“That’s true.” Xu Pingshan nodded and changed the subject. “By the way, are you and your nephew-in-law free tonight? Come to my house for dinner to celebrate getting rid of that scumbag Ma Jun. I’ve already told my sister, it just depends on whether you two are available.”
"I'm free." Xu Wan looked at Jiang Tingzhou. "What about you?"
