After leaving the company, Chen Jing felt refreshed. She hadn't expected the conversation to go so smoothly. Lin Shiyu was waiting for her outside the office, and she didn't look anxious for her at all. Seeing Chen Jing coming out of the elevator from a distance, she hurried over and said, "How's it going, Jingjing? Is everything okay? I don't even need to ask you. You can definitely do it."
"Well, we're done talking. Mr. Wang told me to go back to work after I'm done with it. My position and salary will be the same as before," Chen Jing said in a relaxed tone, obviously very satisfied with today's conversation.
As expected, her friends, Lin Shiyu, are definitely not bad. Lin Shiyu nodded proudly, "Of course, don't you see who your friends are?"
Chen Jing: "Yes, yes, yes, thanks to Miss Lin's spiritual support, I was able to have such a smooth conversation."
"Then how do you thank me?"
"Would you like to have a nice meal?"
When she heard about having a big meal, Lin Shiyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Just as he was about to pull Chen Jing to fulfill his promise, he was stopped by Chen Jing, "But not today, I want to go back to see my parents. When I come back, I will treat you to a meal as soon as possible, okay!"
Lin Shiyu was originally very sad when she heard that this big meal could not be realized today. But when she knew that Chen Jing was going home to see her parents, she comforted herself immediately. She knew that Jingjing had not been back to see her parents for a long time.
With so many things happening recently, she will definitely need time to sort it out.
Lin Shiyu took Chen Jing's hand and said coquettishly, "Jingjing, I know you must really want to be in your parents' arms right now, so I won't be jealous of your uncle and aunt. But you must remember to look for me when you come back, okay? I want you to come pick me up in person!"
Looking at Lin Shiyu, who was about the same age as her but still childish, Chen Jing smiled dotingly, "Okay, I promise you, I will pick you up as soon as I come back."
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Lin Shiyu is very attached to Chen Jing on the surface. In fact, only Chen Jing knows that she is very dependent on Lin Shiyu, from the past to the present.
After the two of them made the agreement, they went their separate ways. Lin Shiyu said that Chen Jing was away for the past two days and she didn't want to come to work. She asked Mr. Wang for a few days off on the pretext of feeling unwell. Mr. Wang had already seen through her little thoughts.
After Chen Jing and Lin Shiyu separated, they did not go home directly. Thinking that they would go back to H City to visit their parents tomorrow, they drove to the mall to shop in a good mood.
The Chen family is also considered a high-ranking official family. Chen Jing's father, Chen Zuyi, is a scientific research expert. He usually stays in the laboratory and rarely shows up outside. Chen Jing's mother, Zhou Huixin, is a university psychology professor with a gentle and dignified temperament. Although Chen Jing's family has never been in business and is not rich, a family of scholars is even more rare. This is one of the reasons why Lu Ziyang decided to marry her and the Lu family happily accepted it.
Because her parents don’t care much about material things, Chen Jing always prefers practical things when buying things for them.
Chen Jing spent more than two hours in the mall and bought several boxes of high-quality tea and several bottles of good wine for her father. Usually, Chen's father is not good at speaking and does not like socializing, but these tea and wine are his favorites.
What Chen Jing bought for her mother were the skin care products and a computer that she had thought about for a long time. Her mother teaches at a university and uses a computer every day. She remembered that the last time she went home, she said that the computer was a bit old and had some problems, so this time she got a new one for her.
After buying everything, Chen Jing happily carried her things into the car.
Chen Jing almost forgot to buy the ticket. Suddenly she remembered and quickly opened her phone to buy a ticket for tomorrow morning at around 8 o'clock. After thinking about it carefully and finding nothing she had forgotten, she set off.
Along the way, Chen Jing kept thinking about one question in her mind: how to talk to her parents about divorce. Although her parents are not stubborn, they still take their daughter's divorce very seriously. Judging from how much her parents like Lu Ziyang, divorce may not be an easy matter.
Every day of delay means more trouble. In order to cut the Gordian knot, I must find a good opportunity to confront my parents when I go home this time.
The thought of this made her excitement about going home suddenly turn into a cloud of melancholy. How could Chen Jing's life have become like this? What had she done wrong?
When Chen Jing returned home, packed her things, and prepared to wash up and go to bed early, her cell phone rang again. Before she even looked at it, Chen Jing already had a premonition who it was. She picked it up and saw the three big words "Lu Ziyang" jumping on the screen.
Chen Jing was about to hang up when she thought about what happened yesterday. She realized that avoiding the call wasn't a safe solution after all. Some problems still had to be faced in person. She answered the call, and just as the call was connected, a cold and angry voice came from the other end. "You still know how to answer the phone? What do you mean, Chen Jing?"
Lu Ziyang's attitude made Chen Jing feel extremely annoyed. She was obviously the one who should be angry the most. She replied in a bad tone, "It's nothing. I think you should understand."
"Understand what? Understand that you ran away from home? Understand that you threw our wedding rings on the ground anytime and anywhere? Understand that you didn't answer the phone all night? How long are you going to make trouble?"
"Making a fuss? Are you sick, Lu Ziyang? Which eye of yours saw me making a fuss? I'm seriously asking for a divorce from you, but you're the one who keeps holding on to me."
Lu Ziyang didn't expect to hear such unpleasant words from Chen Jing's mouth, and it was directed at him.
Lu Ziyang rubbed his brows with his hand, not wanting to continue arguing like this. He thought he had already let go of his pride. "Chen Jing, where are you? Come back immediately. As long as you come back obediently, I can pretend that nothing happened."
Chen Jing: ………………
What a good way of pretending nothing happened. Why didn’t I realize that Lu Ziyang was so shameless before?
"No need for that. Save your charity for your lover. I've already said I won't flatter you and take over Mrs. Lu's position. I don't want it. I just ask you to sign quickly and set me free. We can be husband and wife and save both of our reputations. Lu Ziyang, don't embarrass everyone."
Lu Ziyang found that he had softened his attitude, but Chen Jing remained unmoved and even insisted on getting a divorce. He really didn't understand. What kind of lover was there? Thinking of Bai Qingqing, he instantly understood what Chen Jing had done.
"Qingqing and I are not what you think. She drank too much that day and lost control, mistaking me for her ex-boyfriend. Who knew you would see us? But I quickly pulled her away. To me, she's like a younger sister. We've known each other since we were very young. I believe that as long as you're willing to get to know her, you won't misunderstand me."
Lu Ziyang's explanation made Chen Jing laugh even more. Sister? And they had known each other since childhood. Nowadays, only blood-related sisters were considered real sisters. There was no such thing as a "sister" for others. It was just a high-sounding excuse. How could Lu Ziyang, a seasoned businessman, not even see through this little trick? Chen Jing didn't believe it!
