Shi Wan sighed inwardly. Now she not only had to explain things to Sikong Jingyu, but also to another person.
Fearing that Sikong Jingyu might overthink things, Shi Wan glanced at Mu Zeyuan and clarified, "My relationship with Mr. Sikong is definitely not what you think. Mr. Sikong saved me because he is a kind person."
"Haha... Kindness, that might be my biggest misunderstanding of Sikong!" Mu Zeyuan couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing Sikong Hei's sullen and frustrated expression, Mu Zeyuan quickly suppressed his gloating.
They've already given out friend cards, looks like something big is going to happen!
Mu Zeyuan looked at Sikong Jingyu with sympathy and said a few more good words for Sikong Jingyu: "Sikong is not a kind person. He only shows kindness to those he likes."
Shi Wan: "..."
Seeing that Shi Wan was no longer responding, and noticing that Sikong Jingyu was standing quietly to the side without saying a word, Mu Zeyuan realized that there must still be some problem between the two, so he changed the subject:
"My name is Mu Zeyuan, I'm a doctor, and I'm also Sikong's best friend. What's your name?"
Shi Wan nodded slightly and simply said, "Shi Wan."
"It's...late!" Mu Zeyuan even added a slight tremor to those two short words!
Is it late now, or late then?
He glanced at Sikong Jingyu subconsciously and saw Sikong Jingyu's frustrated expression, and Mu Zeyuan immediately understood a few more things.
It seems that what is late now is late then!
Furthermore, there's a problem between the two of them!
Then he must help his good brother properly. If he does him a favor, it will be like he has a handle on Sikong in the future. Sikong will have to treat him politely instead of treating him like a hawk catching a chick!
Upon thinking this, Mu Zeyuan immediately adopted a warm expression, his smile radiant. "So you're the renowned Mrs. Sikong! Don't worry, although Sikong has been abroad these past few years, I've kept a close eye on him; not a single woman has gotten close to him!"
After saying that, Mu Zeyuan looked at Sikong Jingyu triumphantly, his eyes seeming to say: Praise me! Praise me!
It seems that Sikong Jingyu hasn't told his friends about the divorce yet.
Shi Wan remained calm, glanced at Sikong Jingyu who stood silently to the side without saying a word or explaining, and then looked at Mu Zeyuan, solemnly saying, "No, I am not his Mrs. Sikong, not before, and certainly not in the future."
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jingyu's face darkened, and he looked at Shi Wan with a hurt expression.
"Is it because Sikong went abroad right after getting married that you're angry with him? Men are bound to make stupid mistakes, but I assure you, even though he's not by your side, his body and heart are pure. At one point, I even thought he didn't like women..." Mu Zeyuan said the last sentence in a low voice.
"Dr. Mu, you don't need to speak up for him. We're already divorced. From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other's weddings and funerals. He's free," Shi Wan said calmly, her face serene.
Shi Wan's words made Sikong Jingyu feel very choked up; his heart felt as if it had been stabbed and was bleeding.
"Oh..." Mu Zeyuan's voice changed again, "They're already divorced..."
Sikong has only been back in the country for a few days, and this is too fast! It seems that Sikong must have hurt someone deeply for them to want to sever ties with him so quickly!
Mu Zeyuan glanced at Shi Wan and coaxed her again, "You can remarry after the divorce. He's Sikong Jingyu, the richest man in Yuncheng. If you remarry, you'll be the president's wife, the future mistress of the Sikong Group! He wasted four of your best years. How can you just let him have his way, let other women who are after him have their eyes on him? Be good, listen to me, go back to him, torture him, take revenge on him, and spend his money like crazy!"
Shi Wan fell silent again: "..."
Seeing that Shi Wan remained silent, Mu Zeyuan assumed that he had moved her and continued to encourage her:
"Listen to me, remarry him immediately. Just endure him, and in the end, the Sikong Group will all be yours."
If she didn't speak up, who knew what else Mu Zeyuan might say? Shi Wan nodded, not refuting Mu Zeyuan's words, but only stating her own point of view, saying calmly:
“Dr. Mu is right, but life has countless possibilities. Whether it’s being the president’s wife or the future mistress of the Sikong Group, it’s just a title. A woman’s destiny shouldn’t be marrying a good man. She can also have her own hard work and passions to dedicate herself to. I don’t interfere with or object to other women’s choices, but I don’t want to be a woman who only stands behind a man.”
She has many patients to see, parents to take care of, and many meaningful things to do; she doesn't have that much time to waste.
"...Good! Good!" As expected of the woman Sikong has taken a liking to, her thinking is so clear. Mu Zeyuan couldn't help but begin to admire Shi Wan's radiant beauty...
Suddenly, he remembered that he was supposed to speak up for his brother, so how did he end up being brainwashed by Shi Wan instead?
Mu Zeyuan shook his head and continued, "Shi Wan, let me analyze this for you. You absolutely can't think like that. This has nothing to do with marrying a rich man. It's just that if you marry Sikong, it's not just about saving ten or twenty years of hard work, it's about saving a lifetime of hard work..."
"Mu Zeyuan, that's enough!"
Mu Zeyuan wanted to continue his manipulative tactics, but Sikong Jingyu interrupted him fiercely.
Sikong Jingyu gave Mu Zeyuan a cold glance, then turned and approached Shi Wan, speaking softly, "Wanwan..."
When communication fails, give up. The principle of interpersonal relationships is that although they are different, neither of them is wrong. If there is no resonance, silence is the best policy.
Fearing that Sikong Jingyu might utter some more obstinate words, Shi Wan promptly interrupted him:
“Mr. Sikong, we’re not that close. Please just call me Shi Wan. I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.”
After saying that, Shi Wan left without looking back.
Sikong Jingyu had prepared to say something, but he could only swallow it back down. Looking at Shi Wan's retreating figure, an endless bitterness welled up in his heart.
Seeing Sikong Jingyu's dejected and gloomy expression, Mu Zeyuan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:
"You're allowed to be cold to her, but she's not allowed to be cold to you? You've been cold to her for four years, so you have to slowly warm her heart again, otherwise how will she know how sincere you are?"
Sikong Jingyu remained motionless as if in a meditative state. Mu Zeyuan shook his head, "The road to winning back your wife is long and arduous. Brother, you can take your time. I'm going back."
After saying that, Mu Zeyuan turned and left, leaving Sikong Jingyu alone to contemplate life.
When Shi returned home from get off work at noon, his parents were already waiting at the door. They were both excited and a little nervous.
This was their son-in-law's first visit, and also... their eldest son's first time home. How could the parents not be nervous?
