Jiang Zhi: "Sometimes, the bystander sees more of the game than the player. If Wang Ming hadn't run out of money, she probably wouldn't have come back."
Qiao Chu joked, "If Nangong Jin finds out he's been completely fooled, won't he be furious?"
"I had Qin Yun investigate in detail, and he actually found some clues. Back then, this woman not only got together with Nangong Jin, but also had an ambiguous relationship with Wang Ming at the same time. Or rather, both men were her backup options. After Nangong Jin's incident, it just so happened that she could rightfully choose Wang Ming."
"I think that back then, Changge must have known that this woman was also having an affair with another man. She was using Nangong Jin, so Changge simply plotted against Nangong Jin and blocked that woman's path."
"That's not out of the question."
"Changge didn't say anything, probably to protect Nangong Jin's pride and not want him to be sad or upset, so she took the blame herself. Who knew that the two families would end up like that later."
"That's possible."
"Sigh... Changge is quite foolish! Nangong Jin doesn't cherish her, he'll definitely regret it."
"I've done everything I can to help. If Ah Jin doesn't know how to seize the opportunity and remains stubborn, then I have nothing more to say."
"Honey, you'd better keep a close eye on that woman and gather as much evidence as possible so she can't deny it."
"Qin Yun has already sent people to keep a close eye on Zhou Hui and Wang Ming. They are both under control and neither of them can escape."
"Have some soup." Qiao Chu finished reading and handed the phone back to Jiang Zhi.
"After we finish eating dumplings, I'll take you for a walk. The weather's been lovely lately!"
"Okay, honey!"
Jiang Zhi was eating dumplings, and his hand was on Qiao Chu's stomach.
Feeling the babies kicking.
It's quite obvious now; you can see fetal movement just by looking at Qiao Chu's belly.
...
The oysters were huge. After steaming them and dipping them in sauce, Gu Changge ate them.
It tastes just like I remember—delicious and so fresh!
The shrimp at Nangong Jin's restaurant are all alive; they even jump around vigorously when placed on the steamer rack.
Rui Rui stared intently, finding it fascinating, and Gege laughed as he watched.
"Dad, if we cover them up, won't these shrimp stop jumping?"
"Yes! In a little while, they'll be steamed and turned red."
"I want to eat shrimp, fish, and meat. What is this white thing? Why is it covered in black stuff?"
"The white stuff is soft tofu, the black stuff is dried plum vegetables, and there's minced meat on top. It's delicious too."
"I want to eat too."
"Okay! It's steamed, Dad will serve it to you."
Rui Rui nodded, and he obediently ate his meal by himself.
The large prawns were steamed, and Nangong Jin not only peeled the prawns for his son, but also prepared food for Gu Changge.
...
Nangong Hao returned, but didn't see his grandson.
Ask Su Rui.
"Where's Rui Rui? Is he with Chang Ge? Is he still running a fever?"
"The fever is gone. Your son took him to pick up Changge from get off work and called to say that there's no need to cook for them, as they're going to eat together."
"After scolding him and getting annoyed by him, it seems like I've become a little more sensible."
“Yesterday, I told him that a doctor had taken a liking to Changge. I don’t know if he cares about it. I’ve done everything I can to say and do. I don’t know if he’s thinking about himself. Anyway, I’m exhausted. No matter how immature he is, that’s how he is. Otherwise, he’ll just be waiting for someone else to take a good woman home.”
"Did that doctor really fall for Changge?"
"I think so! His future looks promising; it seems he's being groomed to be a deputy director."
“In the past, Changge chased after him all over the world and cared about him a lot, so he never felt any sense of crisis! The more rivals in love, the better, otherwise, he takes himself too seriously.”
"I wouldn't be happy if the woman I like became someone else's wife."
"Let's respect Changge's decision. If they really aren't meant to be, we can only face reality."
“Wash your hands, you can eat now. Now, my only hope is on Rui Rui. The fact that they can sit down and have a proper talk without arguing is also because of the child.”
Nangong Hao didn't comment and went to wash his hands.
Hopefully things will turn around.
Hopefully, this is a good start.
******
Half-heartedly, Zhou Hui and Wang Ming got back together.
She stayed at the hotel overnight.
She left early in the morning; she needed to go home to change her clothes.
Under her reassurance, Wang Ming finally obeyed.
...
Before noon, Zhou Hui called Nangong Jin.
"Jin, are you free? Can we meet at noon? I have something I want to talk to you about and would like to ask you for a favor."
After hesitating for a moment, Nangong Jin said, "Okay, I'll pick you up at noon."
"Thank you!"
"You are welcome!"
"I won't disturb your consultation any longer. We can discuss it in detail when we meet."
Okay, bye-bye!
...
At 11:30, Nangong Jin left the hospital.
He went to pick up Zhou Hui.
Next, they went to a private restaurant for dinner and sat in a small private room.
After ordering, Zhou Hui spoke first.
"Jin, do you know any reliable lawyers?"
"You're going to file a lawsuit?"
Zhou Hui nodded. "I want to file for divorce."
"I know lawyers. If you need one, I can introduce you to one."
“Wang Ming came to Haicheng and found me… He…” Zhou Hui said, putting on a very serious expression.
She lowered her head, frowned, and seemed preoccupied, hesitant to speak.
Nangong Jin looked at Zhou Hui intently and asked with concern, "Did he hit you again?"
Zhou Hui didn't speak, but nodded in agreement.
Nangong Jin blurted out, "Bastard!"
“He doesn’t want a divorce. I’m afraid of him, and I’m worried he’ll keep harassing me. Last night… he… he left me in a hotel, and he… he even assaulted me…”
As she spoke, Zhou Hui's voice became hoarse, and she even pretended to cry, looking very sad and upset.
She deliberately held her left wrist and shrank back slightly, looking pitiful and vulnerable.
Listen, Nangong Jin was furious, and cursed under her breath: "Scumbag!"
He sympathized with Zhou Hui's plight and felt sorry for her difficulties.
If they had stayed together back then, she wouldn't be in such a pitiful state.
Thinking about it, Nangong Jin also felt guilty.
"How about I go with you to the police station? Even though you're not divorced, if he disregards your wishes and forcibly abuses you, you can sue him."
Zhou Hui's eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked incredibly pitiful.
She didn't speak, but shook her head.
“Zhou Hui, don’t be afraid of him, I will help you. If you call the police, he will have a criminal record, which will increase your chances of winning the divorce.”
“Wang Ming is a pretty extreme person. I’m really afraid of him. If things don’t go his way, he might not only hit me, but he could also hurt you. Forget it, I don’t want to drag you into this. I’m also worried that he might take his anger out on you and retaliate. You can recommend a reliable lawyer to me. Or, I can try to talk to him.”
"You ask him to come out, and I'll talk to him."
