Grandma Jin Yalin laughed out loud, "Yes! We should learn from Comrade Li Yuhe. We need to be strategic in the struggle against the enemy. Sometimes you have to be like that, putting on a show both on and off stage."
Chen Jiayi nodded thoughtfully, "Grandma, if I see someone I dislike, do I have to do that too?"
Jin Yalin sighed, "Of course not! You have to consider the situation. If that person was Ding Haowen, and you had no vested interests, would you deliberately cause trouble like your mother did?"
Chen Jiayi shook her head. "Of course not."
"That's right."
"If you're putting on a show for someone else, you have to consider whether the other person is worth it for you to act in it."
"..."
As soon as Lan Meixuan saw Du Guizhi to the door, she saw a man looking around at the gate.
She frowned, and upon closer inspection, realized it was Ding Haowen.
Lan Meixuan's face immediately darkened, and she was just about to reprimand Ding Haowen.
Du Guizhi turned around and smiled at Lan Meixuan.
"Meixuan, let's get together again sometime!"
Lan Meixuan gave an elegant smile and nodded in agreement.
When Ding Haowen saw someone come out, he quickly called out, "Mom."
Du Guizhi looked at Ding Haowen in surprise, feeling that he looked very familiar.
Lan Meixuan said coldly, "Who's your mother?"
Ding Haowen smiled and said, "Mom, Jiayi and I are not divorced yet. Legally, I am still Chen Jiayi's husband."
Chen Jiayi noticed that her mother hadn't returned from seeing someone off yet, so she thought she could look at her from the doorway.
She walked to the door and happened to hear those words, and saw Ding Haowen standing not far away.
Chen Jiayi's face darkened: "Ding Haowen? What are you doing at my house?"
Chen Jiayi's tone was full of disgust. Ding Haowen actually came to her house?
She was so angry that she walked up to Ding Haowen and told him to leave without any politeness.
"You're not welcome in my home, get out."
Ding Haowen's smile stiffened slightly, but the thought of his mother kneeling down and begging him made him grit his teeth.
"Jiayi, I'm begging you. My mom has brain cancer, and I don't have the money for her treatment. Could you lend me some money? Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back!"
Seeing that Chen Jiayi remained unmoved, and even had an impatient look in her eyes.
Ding Haowen felt a lump in his throat and was extremely distressed.
"We were husband and wife for a time, why are you being so cruel? People say even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness, we're not divorced yet, you're still my wife. Can't you help me?"
He thought for a moment, then sighed.
"Please, I'm begging you! Lend me some money, Jiayi. Don't worry, I can write you an IOU."
"I really need your help this time! You're the richest man's darling, you're not short of money, so please take some out and help me!"
Hearing Ding Haowen's matter-of-fact words, Chen Jiayi laughed in exasperation.
"Ding Haowen, are you out of your mind?"
She discovered that Ding Haowen particularly enjoyed putting on an act in front of outsiders!
Seeing Du Guizhi standing there with a gossipy expression, Chen Jiayi said with a forced smile.
"Aunt Du, would you like to come back and have another cup of tea?"
Du Guizhi chuckled and said, "No need, I'll be going now."
Although she really wanted to be there to watch the drama unfold, it was ultimately someone else's family matter, and it wasn't appropriate for her to stay.
Chen Jiayi called out to Du Guizhi when she saw her about to leave.
"Aunt Du, please have another cup of tea before you go."
Du Guizhi was a little suspicious when she saw that Chen Jiayi was really trying to persuade her to stay, but she was too eager to gossip, so she did not refuse Chen Jiayi's offer.
Chen Jiayi turned to look at Ding Haowen, her voice cold.
"Come in with me."
When Ding Haowen saw Chen Jiayi take the initiative to invite him into the house, a look of joy flashed in his eyes.
"Jiayi, are you willing to help me now?"
A group of people went back into the house. Chen Jiayi told Ding Haowen to wait downstairs while she went upstairs to get something.
Aunt Wang was very perceptive and offered, "Miss, let me get it for you."
Chen Jiayi looked at Aunt Wang in surprise, and Aunt Wang smiled gently to indicate that she understood.
"Aunt Wang, put it under the leg of my desk."
Aunt Wang jogged upstairs, answering Chen Jiayi as she went.
"Don't worry, Miss! I know where it is!"
Ding Haowen felt somewhat confused, wondering what Chen Jiayi wanted to take.
He thought to himself, "Could it be money?"
Ding Haowen took the initiative to talk to Chen Jiayi, but when Chen Jiayi ignored him, he rolled his eyes.
His expression froze, and he grew increasingly angry with Chen Jiayi.
Then, Ding Haowen began to look at the Chen family.
The Chen family's villa is located in the city center, and there are security guards at the entrance, so ordinary people cannot get in.
Ding Haowen had to climb over the wall to get in! The last time he came in, he also brought Li Yuzhu with him when he climbed over the wall.
At the time, we were so focused on arguing about whether the daughter was real or fake that we didn't really take a good look at what the Chen family looked like.
Looking at him now, Ding Haowen's eyes flashed with surprise and shock!
The Chen family is incredibly wealthy!
When he came in, he saw a car with a local Haicheng brand, and two Phoenix brand bicycles parked at the door.
There was a solid wood sofa made of huanghuali wood in the living room, and surprisingly, there was a sewing machine next to the mahogany sofa?
The picture on the TV was in color?
He had heard from his colleagues that nowadays only the wealthy can afford color TVs, and ordinary families in China can't even afford black and white TVs, let alone expensive color TVs!
A clock hangs above the living room; Ding Haowen is quite knowledgeable about watches.
This quartz watch is a Rolex!
Below the clock was a German-brand radio, and not far away was a display cabinet for wine.
The tavern has many collectible red, white and red wines.
Looking further ahead is the kitchen, with a single-door refrigerator placed at the kitchen entrance.
Ding Haowen became more and more excited as he looked at them; he already felt that these things were his!
Aunt Wang was quick and came down in no time.
She took two small red books downstairs and handed them to Chen Jiayi.
Chen Jiayi's expression was indifferent. "Ding Haowen, here you go."
She handed another small red book to Ding Haowen.
Ding Haowen looked at the little red book, which resembled a marriage certificate. He stared at Chen Jiayi suspiciously, not understanding what she meant by this.
Isn't the marriage certificate supposed to be submitted to the civil affairs department when registering for divorce? How come she has it?
However, Ding Haowen was shocked when he saw the three words on the little red book.
"Divorce certificate?"
Chen Jiayi nodded calmly, "Yes! You've got your divorce certificate. Open your eyes and look carefully, we're divorced and have no relationship whatsoever."
She put the divorce certificate in her pocket and casually put her hands in her pockets as well.
“If you continue to harass me, or come to my home to harass my family, I will call the police and have you arrested.”
Ding Haowen looked at the divorce certificate in disbelief and couldn't help but question Chen Jiayi.
"Did you get a fake certificate? Divorce certificates don't come out so quickly."
He was planning to find Chen Jiayi today, then go back to Lianhua Town to withdraw his divorce registration application!
Unexpectedly, the divorce certificate had already been issued?
Du Guizhi scoffed, a hint of mockery in her eyes.
