Liu Xiangru: "Let your father go. He's bored at home alone. Yushan has beautiful mountains and waters. It's also good for people to stay there. I also want to go to Yushan and live with your uncles when I retire."
Zhou Mo was a little unhappy. "You all left, how could you bear to leave me alone in Dongjiang?"
Liu Xiangru: "You'll be married by then, what are you afraid of?"
Zhou Mo: “…”
Zhou Mo was angry. Liu Xiangru and Zhou Zheng perfectly interpreted what it meant for parents to have true love, and she was an accident.
Zhou Zheng: "After we buy the car, let's go to the notary office and get a deed of gift."
Zhou Mo felt a little uncomfortable: "Dad, does it have to be like this?"
Zhou Zheng: "What's wrong? What do you think is wrong?"
Zhou Mo bit her lip: "This... is really hurtful to Han Chen."
Zhou Zheng's face turned even uglier. "Child, you have to think clearly. Han Chen's current house and car are pre-marital property and have nothing to do with you. Marriage is not about love and water. There is no eternal love, only permanent interests. We don't want other people's money, but we must take care of our own things. I wrote a gift deed to make it clear that this car is a gift to you alone, not a dowry for the purpose of marriage. And let me put it bluntly, even if there is a division of property in the future, this car will not be divided among others."
Liu Xiangru: "Momo, just listen to your dad. Marriage nowadays isn't like our time, where it's all about feelings, emotions, and being able to stay together until old age. I used to think that when it comes to marriage, you just need to find someone to marry, and divorce if things don't work out. But after seeing so many stories of joy and sorrow around me, I realized that getting married is easy, but divorce is hard. Especially... if you learn more about the Marriage Law, no, now it should be the Civil Code, you'll know that when the advanced marriage concepts in the legal provisions clash with the backward social and family concepts in reality, it's most likely that women will be hurt. If you were a boy, your dad and I would definitely not worry so much."
Zhou Mo: "When did you start studying law?"
Liu Xiangru: "I talked to your sister Xia Xia's divorce lawyer, otherwise I wouldn't know so much."
Zhou Zheng: "With what happened with your sister Xia Xia, we have to be careful."
Zhou Mo: "Han Chen is different from people with the surname Guo."
Zhou Zheng: "Of course we hope he is different from the one with the surname Guo."
Zhou Mo: "Don't think about it. I'm going to have dinner with Aunt Liang and the others soon."
Liu Xiangru: "Yes, yes, I can't say any more."
Zhou Zheng also reminded Zhou Mo: "Let's just talk about this among our family. Don't tell anyone else, or Aunt Liang will think too much."
The same words spoken by different people will be understood in different ways because of their different standpoints.
What Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru were considering was how to preserve Zhou Mo's interests to the greatest extent possible. Of course, they would not do anything to Han Chen.
If this were to be said to others and heard by Liang Xinyun or Han Chen, they might interpret it in a different way.
They may feel that the Zhou family is too calculative or not open-minded, or even feel that the Zhou family is stingy and nosy, guarding their own wealth while eyeing other people's wealth.
But Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru have only one starting point, which is not to be greedy for others and to protect themselves.
As modern people living in a society ruled by law, we must of course understand the law in advance and take precautions from a legal perspective. We cannot wait until a problem occurs before we remember that there is such a thing as the law. By this time, it is often too late, and we will only lose both the wife and the army, waste our youth, emotions, and money.
We must take precautions before problems occur and always prepare for the worst in order to achieve results that exceed our expectations.
Zhou Mo understood Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru's good intentions, and was grateful for their guidance.
But if he really wanted to work it out so clearly with Han Chen... Zhou Mo hesitated.
Reason told her that Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru were right.
Her instincts told her that Han Chen was a good person and there was no need to be so defensive.
She sent this question to Shen Pan, wanting to hear her thoughts.
Chen Pan: No one's life can be foreseen. All we can do is seize what we can grasp at the moment. In other words... you can grasp the notarized documents, but you can't grasp Han Chen's character from now until he dies.
Zhou Mo: Shouldn’t love be trustworthy?
Chen Pan: Do you dare to bet?
Zhou Mo hesitated.
Chen Pan: Anyway, I don't dare. I've thought about this question a long time ago, and it's similar to whether I should wait for Lu Zhishu to become successful. I don't dare to gamble, not because I don't trust him, but because I really can't afford to lose. Because uncertainty makes people feel anxious all day long. Living in the fear of gain and loss, the relationship will not be much better. But you and I are different. I have options before I get married, but now that you are married, you can only go down one path. I might as well just grab what I can grab, and then burn my boats. Even if it really comes to a point where both of us lose, and I lose the person, at least I have the money.
Zhou Mo: I worship the new master of emotions.
Chen Pan: Thank you for the compliment. I guess I’ll start teaching a class someday.
Zhou Mo: Don’t just talk about it. How are you and Lu Zhishu doing recently?
Chen Pan: Return to friendship.
Zhou Mo: Does he want to get you back?
Chen Pan: Yes.
Zhou Mo: Wow. He admitted it himself?
Chen Pan: Yeah. He also said to give me some time to think about it, and that we should just be friends for now.
Zhou Mo: You two are pretending to be fighting...you want to break up but can't...I guess you will get back together soon.
Chen Pan: ...
Zhou Mo: Believe it or not, you two will be able to get back together in no more than three months.
Chen Pan: Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Zhou Mo: No more than three months?
Chen Pan: There will be no reconciliation!
Zhou Mo: [Chuckling] Wait until the day you become Shen Jingze.
Chen Pan: ...
Zhou Mo: Based on my experience as a person who has been through it, sometimes, the love you give back to your ex is really sweet.
Chen Pan: [poop][poop][poop].
…
Century Garden.
Zhou Mo rang the doorbell.
The door opened and Liang Xinyun warmly welcomed the Zhou family of three in.
Liu Xiangru presented the gift she brought - two bottles of red wine.
"Why bring anything?" Liang Xinyun pulled Liu Xiangru into the house. "Just come."
"It's a small token of my appreciation. This red wine isn't some expensive brand; it's produced in Yushan itself," Liu Xiangru said. "They've developed a red wine base there, and they're planning to turn it into an industry. I'm just advertising for my hometown."
This made Liang Xinyun laugh, "I'm going to savor it carefully later."
"Your health..." Liu Xiangru asked worriedly, "You'd better not drink anymore. Old Zhou avoids alcohol, so you should be careful too. It's my fault for not thinking of this. If I had known earlier, I might as well have caught two chickens from Uncle Momo's factory and brought them back."
"I'll wake up first," Liang Xinyun said, "I won't drink it. You can let Han Chen come back and try it."
"He's not going to work tomorrow?"
"No." Liang Xinyu said, opened the cabinet in the restaurant and took out the glassware for decanting.
"Let me help you," Liu Xiangru offered a hand.
