After Zhou Mingli sold the braised dishes, she took Song Yanshen and pushed the cart, chatting and laughing as they walked home. When they passed an intersection, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Zhou Mingli."
Zhou Mingli looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhong Chengren squatting on the side of the road.
If there wasn't a cigarette butt flickering in his hand, Zhou Mingli really wouldn't have been able to spot him in the middle of the night.
Zhou Mingli frowned slightly and curled her lips: "Why, are you stopping here now to vent your anger on your new wife?"
Song Yanshen immediately stood in front of Zhou Mingli and looked at him warily.
Zhong Chengren was stunned for a moment, then he put out his cigarette and stood up: "What are you talking about..."
He glanced at Song Yanshen standing in front of Zhou Mingli, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "With such a small body...what can you do!"
Song Yanshen still stood in front of Zhou Mingli, motionless, as if if Zhong Chengren really wanted to do something, he would come over and fight him to the death.
Zhong Chengren didn't make a fuss about it. After all, the kid was protecting his family, which made Zhong Chengren think more highly of him.
But he raised his head and looked at Zhou Mingli: "I'm not what you think..."
His eyes fell on Zhong Yuanyuan on Zhou Mingli's back: "I just want to come and see Yuanyuan."
Zhou Mingli: “???”
Her mind was full of question marks: "Zhong Chengren, think about it yourself, do you believe what you said?"
"Don't forget, you just told Meng Wanshu that you don't like girls and you expect her to give birth to a big fat boy for you!"
"Now you say you came to see Yuanyuan? Do you think I will believe it?"
Zhong Chengren opened his mouth: "I..."
He said irritably, "You saw what happened just now. If I didn't say that, would Meng Wanshu let it go?"
Zhou Mingli curled her lips and said, "Come on, I didn't see you being so sad about Yuanyuan when you were at home before. You always despise her because she's a girl, a money-loser, and you don't even want to look at her?"
Zhong Chengren certainly knew that he was like this before, but he really didn't lie to her today.
"I really am here to see the child!" His voice lowered a few notches. "No matter what, she is my biological daughter."
Zhou Mingli looked at him quietly.
Zhong Chengren felt his scalp tingling under his gaze, and couldn't help but avoid his gaze.
Zhou Mingli said calmly, "You know what? Mom told me before that if Yuanyuan's last name wasn't from her grandfather, she would have changed it to mine."
Zhong Chengren was stunned again.
Zhu Mingli continued, "From my and Mom's perspective, Yuanyuan has nothing to do with you anymore."
"I don't know why you came to Lanzhou today. What exactly do we want to do? But since we are divorced, we have no relationship anymore."
Her voice also turned cold: "You have remarried, so stop harassing our family."
Zhong Chengren stared at her in amazement: "Mingli, you...you seem like a completely different person."
“It’s really completely different from before.”
"Really?" Zhou Mingli's tone was still indifferent. "Maybe it's because of my divorce from you!"
Zhong Chengren felt as if his heart was stabbed with a knife, which was really heartbreaking.
And Zhou Mingli lowered his head and looked at Song Yanshen: "Let's go, Xiaoshen, let's go home."
Song Yanshen still looked at Zhong Chengren vigilantly, without stopping, and walked forward quickly.
Zhong Chengren didn't chase them and didn't say anything.
He just stood there, chewing over and over what Zhou Mingli said.
She said they went home.
That home used to belong to him.
Watching the two people's backs getting farther and farther away, the halo of the flashlight gradually disappeared. Zhong Chengren lowered his head, took out another cigarette and lit it, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction of them.
After Zhou Mingli returned home, she started cooking, and Song Yanshen helped her.
By the time they finished cooking, Zhang Chunxue and Song Xingzhi had just returned.
As soon as Zhou Mingli saw them, she couldn't wait to tell them what happened today.
Zhang Chunxue didn't expect that Meng Wanshu would really come to cause trouble, and she couldn't help but frowned in disgust.
"I knew there was something wrong with that woman's brain!" She looked at Zhou Mingli with admiration again, "But the way you handled it today was simply amazing. That's how you dealt with her, to get her to break down!"
Zhou Mingli's tone was indeed more excited: "None of this matters. What matters is that Xiao Shen can speak!"
Zhang Chunxue was stunned. "Xiao Shen can talk now? What did he say?"
Zhou Mingli immediately suppressed her laughter: "He said, gourd gold!"
Zhang Chunxue: “???”
Song Xingzhi: “???”
Song Yanshen was standing aside, his face flushed. He wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't express himself.
Zhou Mingli recounted the scene in detail.
After learning that Song Yanshen spoke anxiously because Meng Wanshu had snatched the wooden board away from him, Zhang Chunxue and Song Xingzhi looked at each other, feeling both angry and amused.
Zhang Chunxue touched Song Yanshen's head and said, "In this case, I have to thank Meng Wanshu. After all, she let Xiaoshen speak."
Zhou Mingli also chuckled: "I thanked her at the time, but she seemed to get even angrier."
Zhang Chunxue imagined the scene and couldn't help laughing.
How could Meng Wanshu not be angry? Even this person who couldn't speak started to scold her. Meng Wanshu really lost face in front of everyone.
Zhou Mingli hesitated again and talked about how Zhong Chengren stopped them on their way back.
Zhang Chunxue's smiling face immediately turned gloomy.
"That bastard didn't do anything else, did he?" Her face was very ugly. "Is he here to stand up for that vixen Meng Wanshu?"
Zhou Mingli shook her head: "He said no...he said he came to see Yuanyuan?"
Zhang Chunxue's expression became even more disgusted. "He's looking at Yuanyuan? What qualifications does he have to look at Yuanyuan? Does Yuanyuan care about him looking at her?"
"Tell him to get as far away from me as possible!"
Zhou Mingli nodded vigorously: "Although I didn't say that, it's almost the same meaning..."
"Later, when we were about to leave, he didn't say anything, but we just left anyway."
Zhang Xue snorted again: "He's quite sensible! If he really dares to pester me, I'll quit my business tomorrow and go to his house to cause trouble for him!"
By then, there would be no need for Song Xingzhi to arrange anyone to go, she would just go and break his legs first!
Damn it, they're already divorced, and he's already married another woman, yet he still comes here to harass his ex-wife. Isn't this asking for trouble?
