"Where are you going?"
"Mom just called and asked us to go back."
He said that and left.
I originally wanted to ask him what we were going to do when we returned, but seeing his attitude, I was too lazy to ask anymore.
Anyway, you will know when you get back.
Zhou family.
When I got back, I found out that it was Zhou's father who was ill.
It's not a serious illness, I just caught a cold.
Mother Zhou was very nervous. "Your father just won't listen. I told him it was cold these past couple of days and he shouldn't drink. He should take care of himself. But he didn't listen and went out drinking with others. He got drunk and caught a cold when he came back."
Zhou Chenyan asked with concern, "Father is already old, why is he still disobedient like a child?"
Father Zhou glared at him, "Are you the father or am I the father? Don't speak to me like an elder."
"I'm doing this for your own good..."
Father Zhou snorted coldly, and when his eyes fell on me, his expression softened. "Yan Yan, I've heard about your recent performance in the company. You're pretty good."
Zhou's father and I are not very close, and I never thought that he would pay attention to my performance in the company. I was a little flattered when I was suddenly praised.
"I'm just trying my best."
"You are right. No matter what you do, you must work hard to succeed."
Mr. Zhou was very happy to see us back. He insisted on having us stay for dinner and asked the kitchen to cook a lot of dishes for us.
Zhou Chenyan asked for my opinion, "Do you want to stay?"
Pretending.
He can obviously make the decision on his own and doesn't need to ask for my opinion at all.
"Dad has already said so, of course I have to stay."
Zhou Chenyan smiled and said, "You are filial."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou had already gone downstairs, and the two of us were left behind.
I smiled and said, "You say that as if you would listen to me if I disagree."
"certainly……"
He moved closer to me and paused deliberately.
"Of course not."
This is just a joke on me!
I rolled my eyes at him, and when I turned around, I saw Zhou's father and mother smiling knowingly, and my heart skipped a beat.
Chasing after Zhou's mother, "Mom, you don't know, Ah Yan has been doing a lot of things recently. He even gave a project I was working on to..."
"cough."
Zhou Chenyan coughed.
Zhou's mother was suspicious. "What happened to the project? Did he bully you at the company again?"
Zhou Chenyan coughed softly and stepped forward, "Mom, how dare I bully her? She's a big hit in Dad's heart now, right, Dad?"
Father Zhou glanced at him and said, "You'd better remember what I said. Yanyan is your wife, and what you need to do is to protect your wife. Don't let outsiders bully her."
"I understand, father."
Zhou Chenyan became impatient after talking too much.
Father Zhou shook his head helplessly, "Alright, as long as you understand what's going on, I won't bother you anymore. Come downstairs and eat."
Father and Mother Zhou walked in front. Zhou Chenyan leaned over to my ear and said, "Did you plan to complain to Mom when you came back this time?"
"You call this a complaint?"
I was just trying to scare him.
Zhou Chenyan frowned, "Don't talk nonsense in front of my parents."
"Don't worry, I'll just do it and not tell you."
He laughed and said, "You don't have to do anything. Mom and Dad are not old enough to need your filial piety."
This is a misunderstanding.
I smiled slightly and didn't explain.
Anyway, when we get to the dinner table later, he will naturally understand what I mean.
The four of us sat around the dining table, which was filled with our favorite dishes. Zhou's father, mother, and Zhou Chenyan chatted from time to time.
The Zhou family has no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, so the atmosphere at the dinner table is particularly warm.
This kind of warm atmosphere was once there. I wanted to fit in but was never able to. However, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou did accept me sincerely.
But if you can't fit in, you just can't fit in.
It’s not that I can succeed just by working hard.
After finishing the last bite of white rice, I took out a tissue and wiped the corners of my mouth.
"Mom and Dad, I have something to say,"
Zhou Chenyan looked at me, frowning, "What can't we talk about after dinner?"
"It's very important."
He wanted to stop me, "After dinner, if you want to say something, I won't stop you."
But I know him too well.
If he didn't want me to speak, he would try every means to stop me after dinner.
He is not stupid.
You can probably guess what I'm going to do.
Father and Mother Zhou didn't notice anything unusual. Mother Zhou even looked at me kindly and said, "Go ahead. My daughter-in-law can say whatever she wants to say. No one else can interfere."
Zhou Chenyan choked.
I looked at my mother last week and said, "Mom, I'm going to disappoint you."
Mother Zhou was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"I want a divorce."
After these words were spoken, the restaurant fell silent for a moment.
I took out the divorce agreement that I had prepared long ago and put it on the table.
The four big words "Divorce Agreement" are particularly eye-catching.
Zhou Chenyan's face was as cold as ice. "We should solve the problem between you and me. Don't bring it up in front of my parents."
"Why not?" I asked back, "This marriage was completed under the witness of my parents, and now that it's ending, my parents should also be witnesses."
Zhou's mother quickly advised, "Stop arguing, you two. Aren't you living a good life? Why are you suddenly getting a divorce again?"
I lowered my eyes and said nothing.
Father Zhou suddenly slammed the table and said, "Zhou Chenyan, are you bullying your wife again?"
"I don't."
Zhou Chenyan replied coldly, staring at me intently.
Father Zhou was annoyed. "You didn't bully her, so why would she divorce you? Can't you just give me some peace of mind? Why are you always arguing with your wife? Can't you just live your life peacefully?"
He started scolding Zhou Chenyan.
Zhou Chenyan gritted his teeth slightly, "Is it me who doesn't live a good life with her, or is it her who doesn't live a good life? She was the one who filed for the divorce."
"She must have a reason for asking for a divorce!" Zhou's father demanded. "Tell me, have you done anything inappropriate recently?!"
Zhou Chenyan had a cold face and said nothing.
Mother Zhou's voice was gentle, but her attitude was the same as Father Zhou's. "Ah Yan, didn't you promise that you would live a good life with your wife? It's only been a short time since you returned, why are you like this again?"
Zhou Chenyan gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know, go ask her."
Mother Zhou and Father Zhou looked at me.
I said calmly, "Our relationship was exhausted a long time ago. Last time, I listened to my mother-in-law and wanted to give us another chance, but it turns out that we are not suitable."
"What's inappropriate about it? You two have been together for so long, and you knew each other well when you got married." Zhou's mother advised earnestly, "I think you two should have a baby as soon as possible. Having a child will make your feelings towards each other different, and becoming a parent will also make you more mature."
