Chapter 172 No Divorce, Only Mourning

But she waited for a while, and Si Zhuo peeled the last unshelled shrimp and put it in her bowl.

Qiu Manman hesitated for a moment and then ate it.

She commented objectively: "Husband, are you unhappy now?"

"Um."

"Then why did you peel the shrimp for me?"

“…”

Si Zhuo did not answer.

Qiu Manman said: "I understand, you are now demonstrating to me the cold-faced washing of underwear literature."

"What is cold-faced washing underwear literature?" Xiao Zeyu asked.

Si Zhuo was waiting for Qiu Manman's answer.

Qiu Manman explained thoughtfully, "I am just very unhappy with you now, and I got angry for a while. Although I will still peel shrimps for you, now I won't peel shrimps for you with a smile."

Xiao family: “…”

Si Zhuo: “…” It’s simply too good to be true.

After Qiu Manman finished answering, she observed Si Zhuo's expression again.

[Did I see it wrong? Why is Si Zhuo not looking cold again? 】

What Qiu Manman didn't know was that it was because she paid attention to Si Zhuo's emotions.

She didn't even start to coax anyone.

Si Zhuo comforted himself.

"I'm in a good mood right now. I'm smiling." After saying this, Si Zhuo tried to smile.

It wasn't very natural, but it was still a smile.

Qiu Manman covered his mouth and said, "Forget it, it's a bit creepy."

[You don’t like to laugh by nature, and it’s even weirder when you laugh.]

Si Zhuo: If you can’t speak, you don’t have to speak.

"You two seem to have a good relationship. I'm a little curious. Has it always been this good, or did it just start recently?"

Yun Yaxin asked the doubts in her heart.

This question is not difficult to answer, unless you have something to hide.

Xiao Zeyu didn't quite understand his mother's intention. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to respond but didn't know how to do it.

Xiao Baishu's cell phone vibrated a few times. While they were chatting, he took it out and read the messages.

It was a message from my right-hand man.

[Mr. Xiao, we have found a breakthrough. Can we talk over the phone?]

[This cooperation must be won.]

[I just received a message from the doctor today. Ms. Li’s condition is not very optimistic.]

Xiao Baishu's face was as gloomy as water. He stood up and said, "I have a work call to make."

Yun Yaxin: "You go ahead."

Qiu Manman naturally had no objection.

But she really wanted to go out and eavesdrop, because she had a feeling that the only person who could make Xiao Bai's expression so ugly was Li Yifan.

Has Li Yifan's health condition worsened?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is a big reason.

Yun Yaxin was very concerned about the truth of that question. Without listening to their reply, she asked again, "Is it a difficult question to answer?"

Qiu Manman also stood up slowly and said, "Ask my husband, he knows."

After saying that, she went out.

Xiao Zeyu took two bites of rice and when he looked up again, he saw his big sister disappearing in front of him.

"Eh? Where's my sister?"

Yun Yaxin pointed at the door, and when she saw that he was about to chase out, she stopped him and said, "Go and lock the door. Don't let them in for the time being."

Si Zhuo put down his chopsticks and thought: It's finally here.

The situation in the box was a standoff between the two parties.

Si Zhuo asked slowly, "Madam, do you not want to pretend anymore?"

Yun Yaxin laughed briefly, "There are only three of us here, why bother pretending? We are all smart people, so let's just speak frankly."

"I am Qiu Manman's biological mother."

"I know." Si Zhuo's face remained calm.

Yun Yaxin's hidden panic suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart, and she said in an ambiguous tone, "You really do know everything."

Xiao Zeyu stood up.

"Si Zhuo, since you know all this, you should also know our purpose. My sister has been living away from home for so many years, she should come home now."

"This time our whole family came to Beijing, just to bring my sister home."

"Tell me, how much do you want to divorce my sister?"

Yun Yaxin did not refute her son's words, because these words were exactly what she was thinking.

Si Zhuo raised his lips slightly and said uncooperatively, "I can't leave you."

"In my dictionary, there is no such thing as divorce, only bereavement."

"How dare you!" Yun Yaxin was furious. "What do you think my daughter is? How can she be your private property? What right do you have to say such outrageous words?"

Si Zhuo said calmly: "She is my wife. We are related in the household registration book. What are you?"

"I'm her mother."

"I'm her brother!"

Both of them are very confident.

Si Zhuo glanced at them coldly, "You can just tell Qiu Manman openly, and then ask her whether she chooses you or me?"

“…”

“…”

Having always been in a high position, Si Zhuo was never in a hurry during negotiations, making it difficult for people to detect any flaws.

He even has the ability to break down the opponent's psychological defenses with just a few words.

The words were sharp and merciless.

Yun Yaxin curled her lips and said, "I don't recognize you as my son-in-law."

Si Zhuo: "I just need Qiu Manman to acknowledge me as her husband."

Xiao Zeyu raised his head and saw his mother's red eyes. He suddenly felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

His mother is proud and always walks around country A with her head held high.

Coming to Beijing, I was so overwhelmed by Si Zhuo's words that my eyes turned red.

Xiao Zeyu's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a clattering sound.

Si Zhuo seemed to sense something and glanced at him calmly, "Mr. Xiao, do you want to attack me here? If you lose your mind, you will lose the initiative. I advise you to stay calm."

"Damn it, labor will kill you!"

Seeing the other person's calm expression, Xiao Zeyu wanted to rush up and grab him by the collar and punch that man who brought disaster to the country and the people in the face to vent his anger.

It is this face that makes Qiu Manman always tolerate his mischief.

Xiao Zeyu was filled with resentment: "Did you have plastic surgery? What template did you follow?"

Si Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then reacted and laughed very softly, "No, I was born like this. Maybe you can get some plastic surgery based on my face."

"Get lost!!!"

Xiao Zeyu was so angry that he wanted to beat him up even more.

Yun Yaxin blocked it: "Don't change the subject."

Xiao Zeyu then reluctantly shut up.

At this moment, outside the corridor, Qiu Manman followed Xiao Baishu out and watched him walk to the emergency passage and push open the door.

Qiu Manman murmured: "Prayer is not far away."

If only I could eavesdrop through a door.

As she got closer, she could hear intermittent conversation coming from inside.

Xiao Baishu: "Who else is in contact?"

"It's Si Zhuo again. This guy is so boring. He always makes trouble for me." From his words, it can be heard that he is quite dissatisfied with Si Zhuo.

Autumn is not happy at all.

Come on, this is clearly an open competition, why am I picking on you?

I haven't told you yet that you are unhappy with Si Zhuo of ours.
