A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
"Are you here to drink water? Are you really alone?" Yan Ming was walking towards the room, but when he was halfway there, he suddenly turned back and asked again uncertainly.
"Yes," Yan Mo was very sure, and waved his hand towards Yan Ming, urging him:
"Go back quickly!"
"Okay then! Momo, you should go to bed early too." With doubts, Yan Ming turned around again and walked into the room.
Only after seeing his father enter the room did Yan Mo breathe a sigh of relief, and the arm that was supporting the threshold slid down.
"So nervous." Si Ze walked out from behind the door and said lightly.
He actually hoped that his father-in-law would find out, so that he could be with his wife openly and not have to be so secretive.
However, he didn't have any chance at all. Just as he was about to speak, the little girl pushed him behind the door.
Yan Mo was annoyed. He turned back to the kitchen, picked up the fruit and walked out.
When passing by Si Ze, she did not forget to roll her eyes at him. It was all because of him teasing her and taking advantage of her all the time, which made her feel guilty when facing her parents. Otherwise, this would not have happened.
Si Ze touched his nose and followed Yan Mo.
Back in the living room, Yan Mo asked Si Ze to sit down, turned on the TV again, and tuned it to the same romantic drama. He retreated to the sofa, sat cross-legged, holding the plate of fruit salad in his hands, and took a bite of fruit from time to time, feeling very comfortable.
Gradually, the two people who were sitting peacefully began to hug each other.
Time keeps passing.
At some point, Yan Mo's eyelids began to twitch and he yawned continuously.
Si Ze looked down at the little girl who seemed to be asleep in his arms, carefully picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned off the TV, picked up Yan Mo and went upstairs, returned to the room, gently put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and left the room again.
When he came back, he had the medicine box in his hand. He sat down beside the bed, picked up her hand, carefully removed the bandages from her ten fingers, cleaned the wounds again, applied medicine, and bandaged them.
"Good night, little girl."
After Si Ze packed up his things, he looked up at the clock on the wall, bent down, kissed Yan Mo on the forehead, then picked up the medicine box and left the room again.
…
the next day.
Although he had only slept for two hours, Yan Mo woke up early. Looking at the room that was so familiar to him, Yan Mo was stunned.
How did she get back to her room last night?
Suddenly remembering something, she immediately pulled back the corner of the quilt and saw that she was intact.
Then, he turned around and looked to his side, but didn't see Si Ze. Only then did he feel completely relieved.
Fortunately, this man knew his limits and didn't do anything excessive to her at home.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yan Mo immediately got up from the bed. There were too many things to deal with today and he couldn't waste any time.
She quickly went into the bathroom, washed up, and left the room.
A bustling sound came from outside the house, and Yan Mo went downstairs out of curiosity.
"Momo." Mu Wanyue saw her eldest daughter coming down and excitedly went to greet her and explained the source of the sound:
"My son-in-law called someone early in the morning to change the door for us."
Yan Mo said "oh", walked to the door, looked towards the gate,
"Hello, Miss Yan." A Biao came to Yan Mo and greeted him with a smile.
After looking for a long time and not seeing Si Ze and others, Yan Mo asked casually:
"Where's your boss?"
"The boss went to the company early in the morning." A Biao replied.
Yan Mo was not surprised. Since he left in such a hurry yesterday, it must be something urgent. She did not ask any more questions and turned to enter the restaurant. Aunt Hong had already prepared breakfast. Her sister Yan Jing had also packed herself and Tangtang and walked in, followed by Yan Ming and Mu Wanyue.
The family sat at the dining table, eating quietly. No one spoke. Yan Mo and his sister Yan Jing looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. Their mother was too abnormal.
She didn't even mention Tang Jie. Given her personality, this shouldn't happen!
This atmosphere lasted until the end of the meal, when Yan Jing brought Tangtang into the living room.
Seeing the timing was right, Yan Mo broke the silence: "Mom, Dad, Yan Jing said she wanted to go to Jinzhou."
Mu Wanyue paused while eating.
But he didn't say anything and continued to eat the rice in the bowl.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
"Go if you want to! It's good to relax." Yan Ming tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"She wants to go to school."
Yan Ming was also stunned. The smile on his face gradually became stiff. He put down the bowl in his hand, sighed deeply, and seemed to have aged in an instant.
After a long while, he finally said, "Go ahead! Go ahead and do it if you want!"
The eldest daughter may not know what happened to the younger daughter and why she was forced to drop out of school, but he knows it very well and also knows what her ideals were back then.
"Tell her I will bring Tangtang for her, let her go!" Mu Wanyue interrupted.
Mu Wanyue knew that she was really wrong. She was kind-hearted, but she didn't understand what the children wanted in their hearts. She let her go on the path she thought was right, which ultimately harmed her. This was her mistake as a parent. Now, what reason did she have to refuse?
"Thank you, Mom." Yan Mo was surprised. She had originally planned to just test it out today, but she didn't expect to get an unexpected gain.
Yan Mo quickly finished his meal, left the restaurant, went to his sister's room, and told her what his parents had said.
Yan Jing stopped changing her clothes and a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.
It was worth it. A failed marriage changed my mother's character and bought her the opportunity to go to Jinzhou. It was such a good deal.
Afterwards, Yan Jing took the marriage certificate documents and threw Tangtang to Mu Wanyue. The two left early. Yan Mo drove his sister Yan Jing to the Jingyang District Civil Affairs Bureau.
At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Gu Zhengshan was already waiting there.
Yan Mo was surprised. Tang Jie had already agreed, so why did he still need a lawyer?
At the same time, he remembered that Gong Ling was still injured. Now that Gu Zhengshan was here, who would take care of her?
Last night she received a WeChat message saying Gong Ling's fever had subsided, and it was quite worrying that no one was taking care of her.
"Hello, Miss Yan." Gu Zhengshan stepped forward to greet her.
"Hello, Lawyer Gu." Yan Mo responded politely and signaled his sister to hand the divorce agreement to Gu Zhengshan.
Yan Jing followed her instructions and took out the divorce agreement from her bag and handed it to Gu Zhengshan. Gu Zhengshan took it and read it carefully, then asked Yan Jing some questions from time to time.
During this process, the time reached eight o'clock, and the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau was opened, but Tang Jie was still nowhere to be seen.
It was not until half an hour later that Tang Jie's team finally arrived.
When she saw that there was obviously a lawyer behind Tang Jie, Yan Mo secretly admired Si Ze in her heart. He really understood human nature. Knowing that the Tang family would not compromise so easily, he sent Lawyer Gu in advance, otherwise she and her sister might really suffer.
The lawyer behind Tang Jie felt a chill in his heart when he saw Gu Zhengshan. Thinking of how he had confidently agreed to the Tang family, he felt powerless. The Mocheng lawyer circle was only so small, and the well-known lawyers in it basically knew each other, not to mention Gu Zhengshan, a celebrity.
