"Are you still in contact?"
"No, she blocked me. She cut me off just like that, so cleanly!" Xiao Fei smiled bitterly, his eyes slightly red.
Xiao's mother sighed, "Since that's the case, just forget about her completely. You should know that your current wife is Chen Jin and your son is Xiao Bao. You have to treat them well and you can't keep flirting with other people."
Xiao Fei shook his head. "Whenever I see them, I think of Chen Jun. It's because of them that I can't be with the woman I love."
"Mom, tell me, how can I be good to them?"
"You can't be heartless. That virgin girl followed you, gave birth to your son and took care of your family. Even if Chen Jin blocked your marriage with Zhang Chenjun, you were the one who made the mistake first. Chen Jin was the one who arrived first."
“I know, that’s why I didn’t mention divorce to her. I just don’t like her anymore.”
"I think you're greedy and always looking for something better. If the Zhang family girl were willing to be with you, would you just abandon her and her son without a second thought?" Xiao's mother bluntly exposed Xiao Fei's true colors.
Xiao Fei's eyes darted away. "How could that be? Chen Jun isn't talking to me anymore!"
Mrs. Xiao sighed, "Fine, we're old now, I can't control what you young people do anymore, do as you please!"
But you remember this: Chen Jin is now my daughter-in-law, and Xiao Bao is my grandson. Even if you're pretending, you have to act like a good husband and father.
Xiao Fei wanted to say something, but seeing his mother's disappointed look, he finally nodded reluctantly.
After Xiao Fei left, Xiao's father asked Xiao's mother in a low voice, "What do you think about this?"
Mrs. Xiao glared at Mr. Xiao, "How can you say that? Xiao Fei is my son, Chen Jin is my daughter-in-law, and Xiao Bao is my grandson!"
Mr. Xiao rolled his eyes at Mrs. Xiao. "Based on my nearly thirty years of knowing you, you definitely don't think that way."
Xiao's mother sighed guiltily, "Although I don't approve of my son cheating on me and being with that Zhang family girl, deep down I really hope that Zhang Chenjun will become my daughter-in-law."
Xiao Fei said that the girl is beautiful, capable, from a good family, and likes Xiao Fei. Why did our son end up with Chen Jin first?
However, I can't let my son know this. After all, I'm a law-abiding and shameful person. Cheating is not something to be proud of. It's just that I don't know, otherwise I won't be able to treat Chen Jin fairly.
Whenever I see her, I'm reminded that I missed out on a perfect daughter-in-law because of her. Our family could have been living a much better life, but because of her, we're struggling to make ends meet now.
If her son hadn't gotten engaged, or if he had gotten engaged but Chen Jin hadn't lived at home, then Chen Jin wouldn't have gotten pregnant, and her son might have ended up with Zhang Chenjun.
In the end, Chen Jin became the original sin.
But is all of this really Chen Jin's fault?
No! Not only is Chen Jin not to blame, but she is actually the most innocent one.
But that's human nature. I have to admit that I'm essentially a selfish and greedy person. I'll covet what almost became mine, and I'll hate Chen Jin for losing the benefits that were within my grasp.
But I can't tell anyone about any of this.
Mr. Xiao sighed, "If you hadn't told me all this, I wouldn't have dared to tell you the truth. Just now, when Xiao Fei said he wanted to be with Zhang Chenjun, I almost wanted to tell him to divorce his wife and marry Zhang's daughter."
Sigh, I just think about it, but my conscience bothers me a little.
"So let's just leave it at that. What happens to them in the future is their business. Whether they're destined to be together or not, whether their fate is deep or shallow, let the young people do what they want. We two old folks can just grow vegetables and take care of our grandchildren."
After hearing this, Mr. Xiao nodded, "Let's do it that way!"
The Xiao family's "war" ended so easily, and everything seemed normal, but this incident left a deep mark on everyone's hearts.
Zhang Chenjun was unaware of what was happening in the Xiao family. If she had known, she would have been overjoyed. Things were developing in the direction she had predicted, and Xiao Fei and Chen Jin were unknowingly losing everything they had.
----------
Monday arrived quickly, and as soon as I entered the office, I heard everyone discussing mosquito repellent fragrances.
Shi Leyong: "I wonder how effective the research from Qinghe Alliance will be? Will it be as good as the one Shen Yanming gave us?"
Choi Hyun: "Oh, why think so much? Shen Yanming's gifts to us are better than ever. The raw materials are controlled by the state, so from now on we can only buy spices produced by the alliance."
Wei Qin: "Actually, no. Isn't it said that there can be counterfeit products? That means that Qinghe Alliance has not nationalized all the spices. Maybe Xiao Shen's friend is missing some kind of raw material."
Yu Shui: "But anyway, I managed to snag one yesterday, hahaha!"
Qin Yiren: "You're really asking for a beating. Out of this group of people, only five managed to grab one, and instead of keeping it to yourself and secretly showing off, you had to say it out loud to make everyone envious and jealous. You really deserve a beating!"
Li Yinhe: "Come on, let's all come at him!"
So, Yu Shui was pinned down and given a good beating by everyone. Of course, it only looked fierce; in reality, none of them used any real force.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan didn't participate; they watched everyone fooling around with a smile. After everything was over, the two sat down and began their day's work.
When it was time for lunch, Bi Qiaoan turned on the news as usual. Qinghe TV was broadcasting live about the escort team delivering special medicine abroad.
"Thanks to the efforts of the research institute, the Qinghe Alliance Guard Team has sent a total of 30,000 doses of the special medicine abroad. It is believed that patients infected with the unknown No. 1 abroad will be able to recover soon."
Next, let's invite the guards who just returned from El to give us a briefing on the situation there.
The female reporter handed the microphone to the guards beside her. After the guards finished telling her about what they had seen and heard in El and five other countries, the female reporter went to interview the second group of guards who went abroad to deliver the special medicine.
Bi Qiaoan noticed that the second batch of guards were clearly in poor spirits, with cloudy eyes and incoherent speech.
The female reporter had to try and salvage the situation several times before the awkward interview finally ended.
According to the procedure, the female reporter was supposed to go to the training area with her camera to interview the first batch of guards who were going abroad to deliver the special medicine. However, before she could speak, a guard ran up from a distance, anxiously holding up a whiteboard with only four words on it: "Interview canceled."
Since today's schedule was finalized beforehand, a last-minute cancellation must mean something major has happened.
When the female reporter saw "Interview Cancelled," her pupils dilated for a moment, but she quickly adjusted her facial expression, subtly changing the subject with her excellent professional skills, and then ended the interview.
