Hearing her brother-in-law's voice, she hurriedly peeked at Xiao Ran's phone on the coffee table. When she saw the words "mother-in-law," the girl's pupils dilated, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
My gut feeling tells me this must be related to my sister coming today!
Could it be that my sister had Mom call and tell me to leave?
The girl's heart leaped into her throat at the thought!
Xiao Ran finished washing his hands and still hadn't heard the girl's voice. He dried his hands with a towel, came out, and looked at her. "Whose is it?"
The girl swallowed hard, her eyes blank. "You, your mother-in-law."
Xiao Ran: "......"
He walked over, reached for his phone on the table, and answered it under his daughter's watchful eye.
"Hello, Mom."
"Hey Xiao Ran, I heard from Li Li that you two got divorced?"
To be honest, Yan's mother still has some doubts about the authenticity of the matter, after all, it was really too sudden.
"Mm." Xiao Ran nodded.
"Why?" Mrs. Yan was completely baffled.
Everything's been fine all along, isn't it? Divorce is a big deal, how can you just leave like that?
To be honest, Yan's mother has always been good to him over the years, and he didn't want the old lady to worry or get upset.
Xiao Ran said calmly, "It's just that there are no feelings left, and if you can't live together anymore, you'll naturally get a divorce."
Mother Yan pressed on, "Well, there must be a reason, right?"
reason?
Actually, there's really no big reason. People who don't love each other can't stay together. Do you even need a reason?
He didn't know how to answer in a way that would make the old man understand.
"You should ask Yan Li about this."
From Xiao Ran's attitude, Yan's mother finally understood completely; it seemed they were really divorced!
Over the years, Xiao Ran has actually been very good to Yan Li and their family.
So Yan's mother thought that maybe if she could mediate, they could get the marriage back together, since divorce is no joke.
She said in a comforting tone, "I think you're both probably angry. Why don't you listen to your mother and let's get back together? After this lesson, Lili will definitely remember it!"
The girl on the sofa had somehow tucked her beautiful legs into the sofa. Now she was bent over, hugging her legs with her slender arms, and listening intently with her two little ears perked up.
However, because of the distance, she couldn't hear what was being said on the other end of the phone, but the less she could hear, the more nervous she became.
Especially Xiao Ran's comment just now, "You should ask Yan Li."
What does this mean?
What do you want to ask your sister?
Did his mother ask him why he sided with himself instead of his sister?
As the saying goes, a girl with a guilty conscience will always overthink things.
Seeing her brother-in-law's serious expression, the girl was extremely nervous. She felt like all the nerves in her brain were on edge, and her ears were perked up even more!
What did Mom say? It's driving me crazy!
Perhaps because she knows her daughter so well, Yan's mother speaks with a tone that is always trying to please her.
"Well, you know Lili's personality. Mom will definitely give her a good scolding this time. After you've calmed down, you two can go back to the marriage, what do you think?"
Xiao Ran said indifferently, "Forget it, Mom. Yan Li and I are already divorced. Some things really can't be changed."
As the person involved, he knew better than anyone else that their marriage had reached an irreversible end.
It's like a broken cup; it can never be put back together.
Seeing his displeasure, Yan's mother spoke anxiously.
“How can you just let this go? Xiao Ran, listen to your mother. Your parents know you're a good kid, and we really like you a lot. But when it comes to love, frankly speaking, it's only a matter of time before it disappears.”
“Like your dad and me, what love do we still have now? All we have is companionship. You and Lili have been dating for seven years now, the novelty has long worn off. Listen to your mother, can you remarry in a couple of days?”
She truly couldn't bear to see such an excellent son-in-law leave.
Besides, even pots and pans sometimes fight, and what couple doesn't argue?
Hearing the sincere words from the other end, Xiao Ran felt a little helpless. "Mom, maybe our fate has run its course. It's actually quite good for us to be like this now."
To be honest, he didn't want to remarry. On the contrary, the longer time went on, the more he felt that getting a divorce was the best thing he had ever done.
He is happier now than before.
He felt that his current life was perhaps the real life he was living.
On the other end of the phone, Yan's mother still refused to give up, saying, "How can that be? I like you so much. Look, we've always had a good relationship over the years. I really can't bear to part with my son-in-law."
Xiao Ran remained calm and composed. "Mom, some things really can't be forced. But don't worry, if you and Dad encounter any trouble in the future, just call me anytime, and I will do my best to help you."
He's not the kind of person who turns his back on someone.
Besides, although he was divorced from Yan Li, he had seen how good Yan's mother had been to him over the years.
As the phone beeped twice, Xiao Ran knew a call was coming in. He looked up and saw that it was indeed Liu Min calling.
She must have arrived already.
He hurriedly said, "I have to go now, Mom, I have something to do."
He hung up the phone in a hurry after saying that.
Seeing that Xiao Ran had hung up the phone, the girl turned her head to look at Xiao Ran, her eyes full of nervousness and curiosity.
