Thinking about it, this is inevitable.
Guo Zhen was being pressured by Shan Shengshuo, and whether for his own sake or out of consideration for Shan Lian, he could no longer continue with Liu Yinyin.
In fact, on the night he returned from the Shan family, Guo Zhen had already told Liu Yinyin to leave without any expression on his face.
This made Liu Yinyin extremely upset and she could hardly believe that Guo Zhen had made up his mind to let her go in less than two hours.
She was extremely flustered and at a loss. "Could it be... could it be that the little girl misunderstood something? I can explain to her..."
"There's nothing to explain." Guo Zhen glanced at Liu Yinyin. She was indeed very beautiful. Even if he didn't take her out, just keeping her at home would be like a confidante to help him relieve his worries. To some extent, Guo Zhen was reluctant to let her go.
But what can you do if you can't bear to part with it?
Compared to his future prospects, women were merely a burden.
"The house your son is living in now will be yours from now on. Everything you bought during this time belongs to you when you pack your things and leave tomorrow."
Guo Zhen spoke decisively, showing no mercy to Liu Yinyin.
Liu Yinyin felt like the sky had fallen.
She simply couldn't accept moving away from this place.
Guo Zhen generously allowed her to stay another night, and she went to rest in the room where she had stayed before.
Liu Yinyin was in a daze for a long time, and in the middle of the night, she went to find Guo Zhen wearing only a thin nightgown.
She looked at Guo Zhen with misty, alluring eyes, "Is there really no possibility between you and me?"
Guo Zhen did not answer, but stared at her intently and forcefully led her into the house.
She vented all the humiliation she suffered at Shan Shengshuo's hands on Liu Yinyin.
As soon as the rain stopped, Guo Zhen pinched her cheek and said, "Move away. I'll come find you again after this period."
He still didn't keep Liu Yinyin.
Liu Yinyin knew that crying wouldn't help, so she could only move out of Guo Zhen's house the next day.
Cheng Yehan went to eat melon seeds and what he saw was Liu Yinyin moving out of Guo Zhen's house.
He wasn't exactly an interesting old man; the only gossip he could share was the statement, "Liu Yinyin has left Guo Zhen's family."
Jiang Ci asked again, but Cheng Yehan, an old man, couldn't give a good answer.
Jiang Ci's gossipy heart was stuck in that awkward position, which was really quite uncomfortable.
However, after this incident, Guo Zhen's side will probably be uneasy again.
At least she can have a good New Year.
Not long after, Zhou Mingli arrived.
Seeing Jiang Ci and Cheng Yehan, one young and one old, enjoying their tea with relish, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He stepped over and asked, "Is everything alright?"
"No, have those shifty-looking hooligans outside left?" Jiang Ci turned to ask Zhou Mingli.
“I didn’t see anyone around,” Zhou Mingli said. “They probably saw you come in and didn’t leave, so they just left.”
"Alright, sir, I'm off too."
Cheng Yehan didn't try to persuade him to stay, saying, "Let's go."
He was afraid that Jiang Ci would catch him again and ask him about the details of Liu Yinyin being kicked out.
Honestly, what's he doing, a man over fifty, with one foot in the grave, gossiping about a woman! It's utterly disrespectful!
As soon as Zhou Mingli arrived home with the things Jiang Ci had brought back, Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao got excited and rushed over, looking up at the plastic box with its orange-yellow fruit peels showing.
"Dad! Are you holding an orange?"
"Yes, it's a New Year's gift from your mother's workplace."
Zhou Mingli put the things down and let Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao each take one. He also gave Zhou Miao an extra tangerine to give to Huang Zheyue.
Zhou Yang said unhappily, "Dad, why won't you let me give it to Brother Zhe Yue?"
Zhou Mingli looked at him with a sullen expression, "No matter how much I give you, it will all end up in your stomach."
"I would never eat anything meant for Brother Zheyue! Mmm...it's so sweet!" He chewed the orange segments in his mouth and ate them all in one bite!
Zhou Mingli: Hehe.
Zhou Miao turned her head and gave the tangerine to Huang Zheyue.
He looked listless and lacked energy.
It's no wonder Huang Zheyue looks like this.
It's really... taking care of children is a bit of a waste of time.
Zhou Mingli hasn't been as busy lately, and his home hours are quite regular, usually finishing get off work at 2:30 PM.
He should have been looking after those two troublesome little ones, but the Lunar New Year also meant he needed to buy New Year's goods, so Huang Zheyue was the one looking after the two children for the time being.
Poor Huang Zheyue, she was worn down by the two energetic little ones at a visible rate.
Jiang Ci felt ashamed when she saw Huang Zheyue, who looked so young but had been drained of her energy. Her own child had been left in Huang Zheyue's care, a toddler, who was working around the clock. It was truly pitiful.
I patted his head and said, "Let's have barbecue tonight. When your Uncle Zhou and I have our holidays, you'll be able to relax a bit. We'll definitely give you a big red envelope for Chinese New Year."
Huang Zheyue was still a young boy after all. He had been depressed for several days because of his father's farewell letter, but now he couldn't help but regain some of his energy.
"Okay, but... what is barbecue?" He scratched his head, not quite understanding Jiang Ci's words.
"I know!" After finishing a tangerine, Zhou Miao, who had been running around the house with her brother, suddenly appeared and raised her hand to answer, "It's about skewering meat and vegetables and grilling them on the stove!"
Zhou Miao swallowed hard, her mouth watering, and said greedily, "The grilled meat is so delicious!"
Zhou Yang swallowed hard, "That's right, the barbecue is delicious!"
Huang Zheyue had never eaten it before, and curiosity appeared in her eyes.
Jiang Ci gave Zhou Mingli the piece of meat that his company had given him, saying, "It just so happens that I have pork belly."
