Chapter 130: I just want to prevent you

"We have a biological son, and we didn't ask him to take care of us in our old age, so he's afraid," Jiang Yuqin said with a cold face. "He just keeps reminding us that we have a biological son. We're not old yet, we can still do things on our own, but he keeps saying that. If anything ever happens to us in the future, he'll definitely stay away."

Ding Chao put the dishes and chopsticks on the table abruptly. He was obviously in a bad mood.

"What I said is not wrong." Jiang Yuqin is not the same person she used to be. She used to say good things about Ding Hongwang, trying to prevent Ding Chao from misunderstanding her and make Ding Chao like her.

But now, Jiang Yuqin didn't want to say those words. She just felt that she had paid so much for Ding Hongwang, and Ding Hongwang was living such a good life now, while she was still living a hard life here.

How can an adopted son live better than his adoptive parents?

Ding Hongwang's biological mother was able to provide that much money for him because she had never raised him. Ding Hongwang stayed at Ding Chao's house, and it was Ding Chao and her husband who raised him.

"We spent so much money on Ding Hongwang, but as soon as his mother showed up, he sided with her," Jiang Yuqin said. "You can't tame him, and he probably still thinks you're his father's murderer. It's because of you that he has to live under someone else's roof."

"Have you said enough?" Ding Chao's face turned very ugly.

"This is the truth, and you're not letting people talk about it?" Jiang Yuqin asked. "How dare you say that his father's death had nothing to do with you? If it really had nothing to do with you, would your boss not let you get promoted? People outside have been talking about you and Ding Hongwang's father for a long time. Could it be that Ding Hongwang didn't hear about it? I think he did, but he just didn't say it to us."

"Stop talking." Ding Chao didn't want to hear these words.

"It's impossible for Ding Hongwang to be filial to us!" Jiang Yuqin still had to say.

"From the beginning, I didn't expect him to be filial to us," Ding Chao said. In the past, Jiang Yuqin wouldn't dare say much if he changed his expression even slightly, but now, Jiang Yuqin was talking so much. This made Ding Chao feel uncomfortable. Jiang Yuqin had changed a lot.

"Do you think I expect him to be filial to us?" Jiang Yuqin asked, "It's just his attitude that makes me unhappy. I don't believe you're happy in your heart. Does Ding Hongwang really treat you as his father?"

“…” Ding Chao felt depressed. He was thinking about what Jiang Yuqin said. It was possible that Ding Hongwang was really like that.

Jiang Yuqin's voice was loud, and people passing by could hear what she said. Jiang Yuqin didn't care whether others could hear it or not, as long as Ding Hongwang heard it as soon as possible. If Ding Hongwang was filial, then he should hand over some of his salary.

But Ding Hongwang wasn't Jiang Yuqin, and he wasn't trying to save face. Furthermore, Ding Hongwang believed his father's death was linked to Ding Chao, so why should he be more filial to Ding Chao? Ding Chao and his wife raised him, and that was their responsibility. If Ding Chao and his wife valued their biological son more than their adopted son, then their adopted son shouldn't be treated well by them.

Even if Jiang Yuqin was dissatisfied in every way, it was useless.

Ding Hongwang simply didn't want to give more money to Jiang Yuqin and her husband. He was about to get married, so of course he had to leave some money for his family. Ding Hongwang wasn't old enough to get married, but that didn't stop him from having a girlfriend. So many people are like this: they're already in a relationship before they even reach the legal age to get married.

Jiang Yuqin's words were spread out, and others said that Jiang Yuqin was not a good stepmother.

"I've already said that she was just pretending before."

"She herself was a stepdaughter, and she herself wasn't filial to her stepmother, let alone others. She must have thought of this a long time ago."

"She will think about her adopted son's moral character based on her own character. It's impossible for him to be good from the beginning."

…

The neighbors are not stupid. Even if Jiang Yuqin had tried hard to be nice to Ding Hongwang before, others could see that Jiang Yuqin was not sincere enough.

Those people used to say Jiang's mother, but now they say Jiang Yuqin.

Jiang Yuqin knew what those people were saying. She was angry, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she was a stepmother. Being a stepmother is like this. No matter how well you do, others will always say something. It's as if this stepmother should be supervised and no matter how good or bad you are, there will always be some problems found.

After Zhao Jiaojiao opened her shop, business was pretty good, with quite a few people coming in. The location wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't in the middle of nowhere either. If it were too remote, she'd worry that parents wouldn't feel safe there, so she'd have to find a place with a little more people.

Jiang Moli went to Jiaojiao's shop and took a look. There were indeed a lot of people in the shop.

When the children in the store saw Jiang Moli, one of them excitedly said, "I know you, I know you."

"You know me." Jiang Moli smiled at the child.

"I saw you on TV, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women!" said the child.

Journey to the West is often shown on TV, especially during the summer vacation. Many children love watching Journey to the West. They watch it over and over again without getting tired of it. They just want to watch it.

Jiang Moli played a role in "Journey to the West" and was also remembered.

"Wow, you're right." Jiang Moli said.

"Will I be as beautiful as you in the future?" the child asked.

"Yes." Jiang Moli said.

"Aunt." Zhao Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Moli.

Jiang Moli brought some fruits and cakes. She happened to be passing by and bought some things to come over and see Zhao Jiaojiao. Zhao Jiaojiao had kept the shop clean and there were many cute patterns on the walls.

Some children come to learn Guzheng at a very young age. Not all children like to learn Guzheng. Some children refuse to learn after coming here and even act naughty.

Zhao Jiaojiao faces such students and can only try to coax them. If the child doesn't learn anything, the child's parents will also say so. Zhao Jiaojiao also told the child's parents that they need to coax the child more and let the child learn on their own. If the child is unwilling to learn, there is nothing you can do.

If it is one-on-one, that is better. But if it is one-to-many, then the teacher will not be able to keep an eye on the child all the time.

Zhao Jiaojiao started learning the guzheng at a very young age. She worked very hard to learn. Zhao Jiaojiao knew that this was a rare opportunity, and if she didn't work hard, she wouldn't be able to continue her studies, and her mother would tell her to go home.

Nowadays, many families have only one child, and these children are spoiled. These children are not like Zhao Jiaojiao before. Zhao Jiaojiao knew how to work hard, but some of these children get things too easily, so they don’t think about continuing to work hard.

"Aunt, please sit for a while." Zhao Jiaojiao said.

"Go and do your thing. I'm just passing by and came to take a look." Jiang Moli said, "After I see it, I'll go back. You guys take those things and eat them."

"Okay." Zhao Jiaojiao said, "Aunt, come to my house some other day."

"Yeah." Jiang Moli nodded.

Jiang Moli left quickly and did not stay here any longer.

Zhao Jiaojiao watched her aunt leave, and she turned around to see her colleague.

"Your aunt is so beautiful, you can't tell she has ever given birth to a child. She looks like your sister," said a colleague.

"My aunt is only a dozen years older than me," Zhao Jiaojiao said. "She's really like my older sister. I was able to open a shop thanks to my aunt. When I was a kid, I learned to play the guzheng, and my grandmother paid half of the registration fee, and my aunt bought me the guzheng."

"I know, I know, you've already said it." said the colleague.

Zhao Jiaojiao always boasts about her aunt's amazing abilities and how kind she is to her. This hasn't just happened to her colleagues. They think Zhao Jiaojiao is so lucky to have such a capable aunt. But Zhao Jiaojiao doesn't say this in front of everyone; she can't let others think she relies on her aunt to run her business, and she can't tarnish her aunt's reputation.

"Take it and eat it." Zhao Jiaojiao handed a piece of cake to her colleague.

"Wow, this cake is really expensive." My colleague looked at the packaging and said, "This cake is more expensive than my entire meal."

"Eat, eat." Zhao Jiaojiao said, "My aunt gave it to us. It's for us to eat."

"Don't you need to take it back?" asked the colleague.

"No need, just eat." Zhao Jiaojiao said.

After Jiang Moli left Zhao Jiaojiao, she bought some things and then went back home.

Xiao Sheng Haoxuan studied with a tutor at home and he studied very hard. Xiao Sheng Haoxuan did not learn opera from Jiang Moli. He had good grades and would go to university in the future.

Jiang Moli thought that Xiao Shenghaoxuan was fine, and that going to college was always a good thing. Jiang Moli had gone to college in her previous life, but not in this one, so she couldn't possibly say that college was bad. Some people with low education levels always liked to say that going to college was useless, saying that they could still make a lot of money, blah blah, as if they didn't need to study a lot. Faced with such people, Jiang Moli didn't say much.

Those people who don't like to study don't have to study. They don't let their children study more, which is fine. It's their children who are affected. In fact, they usually let their children study hard instead of stopping them from studying. They just say this to others out of habit. They want to use this method to elevate themselves and let others know how great they are. They are no worse than college students.

When Jiang Moli returned home, she saw little Sheng Haoxuan still studying with his tutor, so she didn't go in but went to the living room.

"You went out and bought so much food." Jiang's mother said, "Aren't you worried that you won't be able to finish it?"

"Eat more, and Dad too," Jiang Moli said, "These things aren't much. You didn't eat much of them before, so you should enjoy them now."

"I enjoy it. Living with you, I have delicious food every few days." Jiang's mother said, "The food the chef cooks is delicious too, and there are snacks every day."

"As long as the nutrition is balanced," Jiang Moli said, "I went to Jiaojiao's place today. There were quite a few people in Jiaojiao's shop. Business should be good."

"She just wants to see if there are any students coming to learn," Jiang's mother said. "She's only had the shop for a short time. Others might not think she's a good person because she's so young."

"Jiaojiao can teach students, especially those who are older. Others think Jiaojiao is not good enough, but the younger ones are still okay." Jiang Moli said, "It's not like everyone has so much money to hire a particularly good teacher. Jiaojiao has taken the art exam herself, so she can still offer some advice. As for the question of how much to earn, as long as we can make ends meet, that's enough."

"That's true," Jiang's mother said. "Jiaojiao is doing well now. She's her own boss and doesn't have to worry about being scolded. The only problem is whether the parents' attitudes are good."

"Normal parents don't have a bad attitude towards teachers," Jiang Moli said. "When it comes to children learning, it mainly depends on their talent and hard work. If the child doesn't work hard, it's useless for the parents to blame the teacher. There's no way a teacher can turn a child into a genius. If teachers could turn stone into gold, they would have already reached the top of the human race and wouldn't have to work so hard to teach students."

"Yeah." Jiang's mother said, "You don't need to go over to see Jiaojiao too often. Jiaojiao is old enough and knows her own limits."

"I happened to be passing by today, so I went over to take a look." Jiang Moli said, "Those kids are quite cute."

"It's not bad," Jiang's mother said. "I was talking to Jiaojiao before, and she said she still has students she tries to persuade to quit. If a student doesn't study hard and is mischievous, and nothing she says works, she tells the parents not to let their children learn, so as not to waste money. A guzheng lesson costs a lot of money, and some parents clearly don't have much money, yet they still force their children to learn. It depends on whether the child can learn it. If not, it's a waste."

"Persuading someone to quit may not be effective. They may think that time will pass. Anyway, it's not Jiaojiao's money that's being spent, it's the parents' money." Jiang Moli said, "Jiaojiao can persuade them, so the parents won't say she only cares about making money and doesn't know how to talk. Some parents are difficult to deal with, and Jiaojiao hasn't graduated that long, so she'll be much weaker in front of them. Jiaojiao needs to be more assertive and say everything she needs to say, as well as provide risk warnings."

"Doing business is really not easy." Jiang's mother sighed.

"Nothing is easy to do." Jiang Moli said, "Jiaojiao is still doing well. She has students and can keep doing it. I'm afraid that without students, she won't be able to do it."

"As long as she can keep doing it," Jiang's mother said, "I don't expect Jiaojiao to make much money, as long as she can support herself."

"Yes." Jiang Moli said.

When Jiang Moli went to work on a new day, another group of people came to find Jiang Moli, saying that they wanted to change crews.

"Our script is the newest, and our team was the first to select it..."

"Buy it and leave it." Jiang Moli said, "You have made your choice."

"Teacher Jasmine, this is really important to us. If we do well this time, we can compete for the award. But you are not competing for the award now." said the man.

"The real owner didn't come to tell me, but you came to tell me. Are you a dog beside her?" Jiang Moli said bluntly.

Jiang Moli's words were unpleasant to the ear, but this person was just too disgusting.

"It's a good thing for the company to win the award." said the man.

"It's better for you. If you don't win the prize, will you still blame me?" Jiang Moli said, "I didn't go for the prize, and I know I have to be good to the company. But with your bad behavior, do you think you can win the prize?"

Jiang Moli looked down on such actions. "If you guys want to win the award, does that mean others shouldn't? If I don't want to win the award, does the screenwriter teacher have to win the award too? Does the director have to win the award too? Doesn't the rest of our group have to win the award too?"

Don't always act like Jiang Moli is holding back those people from getting awards. Jiang Moli is the lead actress, so does that mean there's no one else to star in the cast?

There are other people in the unit who are also vying for the award, not just the group that selects the script first.

Jiang Moli wasn't that generous, and she couldn't possibly be generous on behalf of others. The lead actor in that group didn't come over to speak, but let others come over to speak. It was clearly using others as pawns. Regardless of whether Jiang Moli agreed or not, those people could say they didn't mean it that way.

Go to hell, Jiang Moli is not stupid, she knows what these people are thinking.

Jiang Moli couldn't give up the script. She could make some big decisions, but she couldn't make this kind of decision.

After Jiang Moli's group learned about this, someone went to the unit leader and told him about it. They knew they couldn't just go to the other group, as they were afraid of a fight. So they decided not to fight and instead had to talk it out.

After the unit leader learned about this, he went to another group of people and told them to stop thinking about it. The unit leader knew that someone was going to win the prize, and had someone pick the notebook first, but the result was still the same.

"Leader, she was doing this for my own good. I didn't notice it. It's my fault. I'll go and apologize to Jasmine." said the leading actor.

"No need. Go to Jasmine. Does she want your apology?" the leader scoffed. "Put aside those thoughts. Can others give in to you again and again? Don't you know how many times you've given in?"

"I'm a few months older than Jasmine. If I don't make a move now, I won't have another chance later, so..."

"If you don't charge, there are others. The unit can survive without you," said the unit leader.

“…” The leading actress didn’t say anything else, she knew that what the leader said was right.

There are many employees in the unit, and many of them are opera singers. She is not the only one who can compete for the award, and others can also compete for the award.

With Jiang Moli's level, she could have directly been a judge. Jiang Moli chose not to judge the award, not because the judging panel was bad, but because Jiang Moli had to give others a chance. Besides, Jiang Moli didn't need to win more awards, as there were so many people who liked her.

After the unit leader left, the lead actress' eyes were red. She had watched Jiang Moli and the others rehearse the new script. Seeing them polishing it, she told them it was excellent. To say she hadn't considered changing the script was a lie; she was just trying to get someone else to take the lead and change it. When they didn't, the lead actress was deeply disappointed. She hadn't expected the leader to bring this up in front of her, especially in front of so many people.

It’s not that the unit leader didn’t give the leading actor face, but that the leading actor’s thoughts were obvious and anyone could guess it.

At noon, Qiao Yuwei brought a tray of food to Jiang Moli.

"Gosh, how dare she let others question you?" Qiao Yuwei said, "Why doesn't she just kneel in front of you and ask for your notebook? If you don't give it to her, she won't get up."

"I have to save face too," Jiang Moli said.

"Your play is about to go on stage," Qiao Yuwei said. "They're just going for ready-made fruit. They've rehearsed their script, and I've seen it. It's not very good. It's just average. If they want to win an award, I'm afraid it'll be hard. When they perform, the feeling is, how should I put it, not eye-opening, not particularly good, it's worth watching."

"It's up to the audience to decide." Jiang Moli said.

"The lead actor in their group is too unknown, much less famous than you," Qiao Yuwei said. "They're about the same age as you, so it's hard for them to win an award. I'm afraid they won't make it. There are more powerful people in other operas. Their main goal is to defeat others, not to snatch the script from you."

"Maybe they think other people's things are sweeter." Jiang Moli said.

"Yeah, that's right. My child watches others eat, and even if they're just eating white rice, he thinks their food is especially delicious." Qiao Yuwei said, "We have a lot of delicious food at home, but he doesn't think it tastes good."

"It's normal for a child," Jiang Moli said.

"Do your children know how to do it?" Qiao Yuwei asked.

"If there are more people around, he might eat a little more." Jiang Moli said, "But he won't stare at what's in other people's bowls."

Xiao Sheng Haoxuan is well-educated and has plenty of food. He doesn't have to worry about looking at what's in other people's bowls. He can also share his food with other children instead of snatching it from them.

"Don't worry about that." Jiang Moli said, "Let them choose the script first. We've already given them a chance."

"If your script was any good, they would have picked it long ago. There's no way they'd have given you a chance," Qiao Yuwei said. "They're going back on their word now. It's disgusting."

"Don't be angry." Jiang Moli said, "I'm not angry. I don't care about so many things."

"You're too kindhearted, that's why others bully you like this." Qiao Yuwei said, "They say it's good for the unit, but they really want to use the unit to kidnap you."

Qiao Yuwei detested such behavior. What's the point of competing for an award? If you want to win an award, then you need good character. People with bad character shouldn't participate in awards. Do you really think you can just take someone else's things? It's ridiculous!

The lead actor in that group had considered going to their boss and asking him to talk to Jiang Moli. She spoke to him for a few words, but he told her to give up. She still wanted to think about it, but she decided to look for other solutions, not herself, but to let others take the initiative.

Everyone knows who is the one who wants to change the script, and everyone knows it clearly.

"Eat." Jiang Moli said.

When Jiang Moli returned home, she happened to see Teacher Lu, who had just arrived and already knew what had happened at Jiang Moli's workplace.

"You shouldn't have let them choose the script first," Teacher Lu said. "You have the ability, and if the company lets you choose first, then you should choose first. You gave them a chance, but they don't cherish it. They don't work on their scripts, but only focus on the one you've polished. It's hard for people like them to win awards."

"Mom, do you know everything?" Jiang Moli asked.

"I used to work in your unit and knew quite a few people there," Teacher Lu said. "Everyone told me about this. They think you'll take a second step just because you took a step back. They won't thank you. And he's new, new to the team. He's even older than you, and you still have the nerve to say that."

Teacher Lu found it ridiculous when he thought about it. It had been so many years, and that person had tried to win the award several times. The company had given that person so many chances but he still failed. Who could he blame?

"Sometimes, not everyone's hard work counts," Teacher Lu said. "No matter how well someone sings, if they don't have audience appeal, it won't work. Awards like this aren't given out lightly. Did she really think others wouldn't know about something like this? If anyone knew about her actions, they'd think she had bad character."

"As long as we don't care about it, it will become a great unity among the people in our unit." Jiang Moli said. This kind of thing is actually very easy to handle. As long as you say it is an internal matter of the unit, it can be easily resolved.

"Don't worry about them," Teacher Lu said. "You're already worried at this age? What were you doing before?"

"I tried to win the prize before, but I didn't win." Jiang Moli said.

"She didn't get the award once a year, and she's been evaluated many times. This is her own problem." Teacher Lu said, "Don't always think that she's just a little bit short. Just a little bit short is a lot short."

When Jiang Moli was vying for the award, there was no suspense at all. Everyone knew how popular Jiang Moli was, and everyone knew that the award should be given to Jiang Moli.

There are very few times like this where there is no suspense, and most of the time everyone competes very fiercely.

"Keep doing it while you can. If you really can't make it, that's fine too. Just try your best," said Teacher Lu. "It's not like everyone won a prize. Many people didn't win, but they're still doing fine, aren't they?"

"Yes." Jiang Moli said.

Jiang Moli is no longer participating in the awards process; she feels freer and her results are even more impressive. If she were to participate in the awards process, it would be like having a heavy rock weighing on her heart, keeping her on edge and paying attention to every aspect. Jiang Moli still prefers her current state, as she's achieved enough in the past to allow her to relax a bit.

Jiang's mother didn't understand those things, she just listened to what Teacher Lu said. When Jiang's mother learned that someone wanted to snatch something from Jiang Moli, she felt that those people were too mean. Her daughter didn't try to steal anything from them, so how could they do that?

"Don't give in to these people." Jiang's mother said.

"No, I didn't give in to these people." Jiang Moli said quickly, "I can't make decisions for the entire team. Even if I could make a decision, I can't give in. We've all worked so hard for so long, and someone else just says to change. If this person is replaced, what about the others? It's endless."

"Be more resolute," Jiang's mother said. "Teacher Lu is here, don't make people worry."

"Don't worry." Jiang Moli said, "I have my own ideas. I won't let anyone ride on my neck."

After dinner, Teacher Lu played with little Sheng Haoxuan for a while before going back. Jiang's mother asked Teacher Lu to stay here, but Teacher Lu said that she had an appointment with someone to go to the park together in the morning, so she would not stay here.

Teacher Lu now often performs operas in the park with some people he knows, and many people go to listen to them.

In the evening, when Jiang Moli talked about those things with Sheng Jiahao, she thought for a while and frowned again.

"Have I been feeling a bit of a Mercury backlash lately? These are all unexpected disasters." Jiang Moli said, "Things that originally had nothing to do with me are now connected to me."

Shi Nan found a young lover, and Pan Yun wanted to blame Jiang Moli.

Other people in the unit were vying for the award, and they had already chosen the script, but now they wanted to snatch Jiang Moli's script away.

Jiang Moli touched her chin with her right hand. Other people's affairs really had nothing to do with her.

"Is it because my zodiac year is coming?" Jiang Moli asked, "I thought I would become very popular in my zodiac year."

"Don't worry." Sheng Jiahao said, "It's just a coincidence."

"It must be just a coincidence." Jiang Moli said.

Jiang Moli was thinking about her own success in her zodiac year, and she shouldn't subconsciously think that her zodiac year is bad. As long as a person pays attention to bad things, they will find that there are many bad things. If they pay attention to good things, they will feel that the world is still beautiful.

"Those people are targeting you because you're so popular," Sheng Jiahao said. "Don't pay attention to them. There are people who envy you and those who are jealous of you."

"Yeah," Jiang Moli replied. "When it comes to winning awards, it's actually not just one person's job. It also depends on the performance of the entire team. For TV dramas and movies, some people look at whether the script is artistic, popular, and down-to-earth. Others, in order to win awards, deliberately choose scripts that may not seem to have good ratings but are very artistic."

Many people are already very famous, but just lack an award, so they might do this. Awards are not something you can just get if you want them, especially official awards, which have certain requirements.

Although some costume dramas have high ratings, the probability of them winning awards is very low, and some dramas are not even eligible for awards.

"It's not just one person in the company who's striving for awards," Jiang Moli said. "Giving all the good things to one person isn't fair to the others. I don't need to strive for awards right now, so I'll be more casual. But I also don't want to act in a bad script. I'm still thinking about polishing the script and making it perfect. It doesn't matter if I lose some time; what's important is that this play is good."

"That's not a waste of time." Sheng Jiahao said, "It's time that must be spent, and it's what we should do."

"That person is a little older than me and is anxious," Jiang Moli said. "If I were her, I would be anxious too, but sometimes being anxious is useless, and staring at what others are holding is even more useless. If you have that mindset, you might as well look at what you have in your hands and see if you can polish it better."

Shi Kaihua and Fan Xiaoxue divorced, but it wasn't a real divorce; they still lived together. This was the result of repeated discussions between Fan Xiaoxue and Shi Kaihua, and the written agreement was written to prevent any problems at Shi Nan Company from involving their family.

Fan Xiaoxue and Shi Kaihua didn't specifically tell anyone they were divorced. There's no need to deliberately announce this. They weren't actually divorcing; it was just a precaution. Fan Xiaoxue even consulted a lawyer, who said that divorcing Shi Kaihua would indeed prevent some problems.

Then, Fan Xiaoxue and Shi Kaihua divorced, and the relevant documents were notarized. As for Shi Kaihua and Fan Xiaoxue still living together, it can be said that it was for the sake of the children. The lawyer discussed the best explanation with Fan Xiaoxue and her husband. Legally speaking, there's no such thing as a fake divorce; it's a real divorce.

The money that Shi Kaihua gave to Fan Xiaoxue and her son was not particularly large, and it was legal and compliant within a certain range.

"You're not thinking of marrying someone else, are you?" Fan Xiaoxue asked Shi Kaihua in the room.

"No." Shi Kaihua said, "We live our lives as usual. I don't want to let you down."

Fan Xiaoxue waited for Shi Kaihua to be released from prison, and she often visited him. Shi Kaihua thought he was not a beast, and he could not do anything to let Fan Xiaoxue down.

Shi Kaihua was in Shi Nan's company, and he didn't have access to core information, just some other information. But Fan Xiaoxue told him what Gao Yuelan said, and Shi Kaihua also knew some of what Xie Shaojun had done. He felt that they really needed to do something to prevent it.

"Do Xie Shaojun and Shi Nan know about our divorce?" Fan Xiaoxue asked.

"This... I know, I told them." Shi Kaihua said.

"What did they say?" Fan Xiaoxue asked.

"Maybe they're a little unhappy, thinking we don't trust them?" Shi Kaihua said, "Actually, they're also worried about the relationship between us. They..."

"Stop talking. Don't I know what kind of people they are?" Fan Xiaoxue said, "They know exactly what they did. We're getting a divorce, and you told them you respect them."

"It's better to talk about it. If I don't, I always feel something is wrong." Shi Kaihua said, "Our situation is different from theirs."

Gao Yuelan relies on Xie Shaojun, and Shi Nan has to rely on Pan Yun. That is to say, only in this way can Shi Kaihua and Fan Xiaoxue divorce and settle all those things.

"You, you just trust them." Fan Xiaoxue said, "You have to tell them everything."

It would be a lie to say that Shi Nan didn't know about the problems within the company. Shi Nan and Xie Shaojun both knew that they were just hoping for the best, thinking that since many people did the same thing, nothing would happen.

In front of Pan Yun, Shi Nan could not say that Fan Xiaoxue and Shi Kaihua divorced first because of future property disputes. He would only say that it was Pan Yun's fault.

"Don't go looking for Fan Xiaoxue anymore. They are divorced." Shi Nan said.

"What?" Pan Yun was stunned. "I just asked Fan Xiaoxue to keep an eye on her man, she..."

"Men all have self-respect." Shi Nan said.

"She said at the time that she couldn't do anything about it," Pan Yun said.

"You've already said it, so others have to say something." Shi Nan said, "They still live together now, that's for their child."

"I..." Pan Yun curled her lips, "How could I have known they would be like this..."

Pan Yun frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is Shi Kaihua having another woman outside? That's why he wants a divorce?"

"No, I got divorced because I was angry." Shi Nan said, "Don't bother them about what happened between us."

"I...if I had known they would do this, I wouldn't have said anything," Pan Yun said. "They filed for divorce over such a small matter, and actually divorced... Maybe there were already problems between them. It's impossible that they would divorce just because I said a few words."

Pan Yun felt so unlucky. How could such a thing happen to her? Fan Xiaoxue and Shi Kaihua were getting divorced. What did this have to do with her?

"If you hadn't gone to find them, this wouldn't have happened." Shi Nan said.

"No, I won't look for them anymore." Pan Yun said, "Fan Xiaoxue even asked me to divorce her, but I didn't even get a divorce, and she went to get one..."

"She doesn't have much money, unlike you, but she is also a person." Shi Nan said, "We can't always think about ourselves, always make things difficult for others, and let others do things for us..."

"I already told you there won't be a next time. Do you still want to say it?" Pan Yun said irritably. "Do you want me to apologize to her? She used to like you, and now that she's divorced, maybe she just wants to be with you!"

"No." Shi Nan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Pan Yun to bring up this matter.

"Why not?" Pan Yun said, "She might be tempted by your wealth. If you can support other women as your lovers, why can't you let her be yours? Shi Nan, I'm telling you, you'd better not get in touch with Fan Xiaoxue."

"Don't bully your friend's wife. It's impossible for me to be interested in Fan Xiaoxue." Shi Nan said.

"Who knows? Some people just like being with their brother's wife. It's exciting." Pan Yun said, "There are many such cases. They say women are like clothes and brothers are like siblings. Some people even say you can't go out without clothes."

Pan Yun insisted on saying these words. Shi Nan thought that he shouldn't have said those words. How could Pan Yun be so talkative?

"Fan Xiaoxue and I are innocent, don't talk nonsense. They didn't let anyone know about their divorce because they didn't want to affect their child." Shi Nan said, "Don't spread it around."

"I'm not spreading rumors," Pan Yun said. "Just stop associating with Fan Xiaoxue. When her husband was in jail, you gave her money and gifts, and now she..."

"That's all because of her man." Shi Nan said, "We delivered it on behalf of Kaihua, not..."

"You both know exactly who it's for," Pan Yun said. "Fan Xiaoxue and Shi Kaihua want to divorce, and you know exactly who's behind it. I just said a few words to Fan Xiaoxue, it won't have that much impact!"

Pan Yun felt that it was unreasonable for Shi Nan to blame her.

"If it weren't for you keeping a lover outside, would I have gone to Fan Xiaoxue?" Pan Yun said, "If it weren't for Shi Kaihua helping you deal with those things, would I have gone to Fan Xiaoxue? Shi Nan, I've given so much for you, and your brother is getting divorced, and you're blaming me. Are you trying to force me to divorce you? Are you thinking of marrying another woman? Come on, Shi Nan, are you in love with someone, or is it because Jiang Moli is getting divorced that you're going to marry Jiang Moli?"

"That's totally irrelevant." Shi Nan said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. You're still saying things that don't exist. If you tell others about them, they'll make you laugh!"

"That's what you're thinking. Otherwise, why would you blame me?" Pan Yun said, "It's your own fault, but you're saying it's mine. If you force me to divorce you, my parents won't blame you and they'll continue to help you, right? Forget it, Shi Nan. If you leave me, you'll be nothing!"
