Chapter 188
As time passed, life gradually got better. Jingui smiled more and more, and the order in the factory became more regular.
Over in Dahe Village, for some reason, perhaps because the Cheng family had caused trouble, the two old people began to take the initiative to care for Jingui and her son.
Although it was a bit awkward, it finally allowed them to have some connection, and this connection was enough to make Jingui ecstatic. At least it proved that their relationship could be broken.
The parents-in-law were not cold-hearted, but they were unable to face the pain of losing their son. After being troubled by the Cheng family, the first thing they thought of was the safety of themselves and Xiao Mantou.
Another half a year passed. During this period, Zhong Qiaoxin designed many new clothes, which were widely acclaimed. At the same time, he also got along more and more harmoniously with Ji Hebai.
Their relationship is not as close as that of ordinary lovers, but more like a kind of companionship. Ji Hebai cooks for her and cares about her daily life. Zhong Qiao has become accustomed to his presence.
The Ji family initially disagreed with them being together, but after seeing that Ji Hebai was determined, they eventually accepted it.
As Wanwan grew up, apart from Zhong Siqi who accompanied her the most, Ji Hebai was the only one left. Over time, she called Ji Hebai dad.
This sudden change made the Zhong family feel a little embarrassed.
Zhong Qiao disagreed: "He takes care of Wanwan so attentively, he is no different from her biological father, just call him that."
Seeing that she was not embarrassed, the others were speechless. At the same time, because of this sentence, everyone had a secret ambiguity about the relationship between them.
It's winter again.
Zhong Qiao wore a red winter coat and went out to pay New Year's greetings with Wanwan in his arms, and bumped into someone head-on.
Xu Shaojun.
To be honest, Zhong Qiao almost didn't recognize him after not seeing him for so long.
He was full of vigor and ambition back then, but now he is poor and destitute.
Xu Shaojun obviously recognized her as well: "Zhong Qiao."
After looking her up and down, it seemed hard to imagine that the former yellow-faced woman could become so bright and beautiful. When Zhong Qiao left him, she was clearly just an ordinary-looking, even a little haggard giant.
Now she is extraordinarily beautiful, and even in a crowd, she stands out.
"Zhong Qiao." Xu Shaojun saw the girl in her arms, and his throat choked. "Is this our daughter?"
The daughter he had abandoned back then had grown up to this age. Her eyebrows, eyes, and nose all looked very much like Zhong Qiao.
Somehow, Xu Shaojun suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had not let Zhong Qiao leave, would such a lovely and well-behaved daughter be his?
"Get out of the way." Zhong Qiao looked at him coldly. She never wanted to have anything to do with such a person again in her life.
"Zhong Qiao." Xu Shaojun's Adam's apple rolled, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. He even raised his hand to grab Zhong Qiao's arm. However, a soft but sharp male voice rang out.
It simply shattered his entire heart.
"Sorry, please don't harass my wife and my daughter."
Ji Hebai appeared. He was wearing the same winter clothes as Zhong Qiao. He had a calm expression and slowly walked out of the shadows, just passing by Xu Shaojun.
He raised an eyebrow.
With the attitude of a winner.
ridicule.
Xu Shaojun suddenly became angry: "Zhong Qiao, have you been hooking up with him for a long time? Wanwan is obviously my daughter, why do you let my daughter call him dad?"
"Why?" Zhong Qiao smiled. She changed her arms and held Wanwan in her arms. "Because, Xu Shaojun, you don't deserve it."
"Also, her name is Wanwan."
“Not a drinking bowl.”
Look, what a selfish man is. He didn’t even remember his own daughter’s name, but he is speaking so shamelessly here, as if he treats his daughter as a treasure. Such acting is just to impress himself.
During all these years, he hadn't even visited his daughter, yet he still expected his ex-wife to remain faithful to him for the rest of her life.
"Qiao Qiao." Ji Hebai secretly took her hand, "Let's go."
Ignoring Xu Shaojun's face that had turned blue with anger, the two behaved intimately, as if they were an old married couple. Zhong Qiao subconsciously handed Wanwan to him, and he took it.
Wanwan even called out obediently, "Dad."
The word "Dad" almost broke Xu Shaojun's defense.
"Zhong Qiao." He took several steps at a time and tried to catch up. "Zhong Qiao, what gives you the right?"
Why!
Zhong Qiao turned to look at him: "Xu Shaojun, what do you want to say?"
Because of the strong resentment, Xu Shaojun was breathing heavily. He looked at Zhong Qiao's beautiful face, the tall man beside her, and the cute little girl who was being raised, and he had a heart attack.
Yeah, what does he want to say?
Zhong Qiao answered for him.
"Xu Shaojun, do you really want to ask, why? Zhong Qiao, why can you live so well after leaving me? Why are you happier than me?"
"Let me tell you, Xu Shaojun, because I'm already good enough, if I leave, you'll only be better off. But you, being selfish, will only make things worse. Anyone who stays with you is just asking for retribution."
These words came like a bolt from the blue, making Xu Shaojun's vision go dark.
He once again examined the woman in front of him.
She has indeed changed.
"Zhong Qiao." Xu Shaojun twitched his lips. It seemed as if he had only just now come to terms with reality. "I just want to ask why? Why did you become such a different person back in the hospital?"
It was obvious that the day before she gave birth, her heart and eyes were full of herself, but after giving birth, she seemed to have become a different person, a stranger. After the divorce, she never looked at him again.
Zhong Qiao said, "I just figured it out. You were only a small part of my life, a small part that was wrong, but so what? My life is only a few decades long, and your existence only occupied a short year or two. So, if I leave you, I will be happy for the next few decades."
"So that's why, because I am myself, not a mother, wife, or daughter-in-law as anyone says."
After she finished speaking, Zhong Qiao felt extremely happy for the first time. She had finally said this.
Xu Shaojun didn't understand: "Zhong Qiao, you've already married me, so you can only be mine for the rest of your life. You gave birth to my child, do you think you are still the innocent Zhong Qiao?"
He pressed on: "Zhong Qiao, you can only be mine in this life."
Zhong Qiao looked at him coldly: "Madman."
"roll."
Ji Hebai grabbed his collar and pushed him backwards.
"Didn't you hear me? Xu Shaojun, my wife told you to get out of here."
Xu Shaojun still stared at Zhong Qiao: "Zhong Qiao, Zhong Qiao."
His mental state is on the verge of collapse.
Zhong Qiao, I will definitely make you regret it.
