Chapter 148: Call from Ex-wife's Sister
Wu Wanqing did get off the bus after only two intersections. Due to the partition in the middle, she didn't have the chance to talk to us. I saw her glaring at me countless times through the car window. I wrinkled my nose and made a face at her, then raised my eyebrows and looked at her helpless and furious.
Not long after she got off the car, Xiao Shiqiu's cell phone rang. He didn't avoid me when he took out his phone. The caller ID displayed on the screen was [He Qingrong]. I knew it was a woman at a glance.
"It's Xiao Tiantian's mother." He told me calmly.
I didn't say anything, wondering whether I should say hello to my aunt.
"What's the matter?" His tone was cold. I didn't know if it was always like this between them or if he was showing it specifically to me.
It's not that I wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation, it's just that the car was too quiet and I couldn't help but listen.
"Shiqiu, are you serious about this time with that little girl?" The other person's voice sounded very pleasant, and one could imagine that she was a beauty.
But her tone was also indifferent, and it sounded like the tone of a wife questioning her husband's infidelity.
"Yes, we are divorced. It is my freedom to be with whomever I want. You don't have to be surprised."
My ex-wife's sister was so confident in checking on him, did she have any evidence against him? I pricked up my ears and started to eat melons.
"Shiqiu, can't you wait another two years? I don't want her parents' divorce to affect her finding a partner. Why don't you wait until she graduates and gets married before you announce your new relationship..." He Qingrong's voice became softer.
Xiao Shiqiu didn't wait for her to continue, his tone was gentle but firm, "I don't want to wait any longer. I'm almost forty years old, and I want a child of my own. I hope you can understand."
"I understand. In fact, I can also give birth to a child for you... Why have you kept me away for so many years? We are a legal couple." There was some sadness in He Qingrong's voice.
"There's no need to bring up the past. If I could accept it, we should have had a child a long time ago, right? Let's save some dignity for each other."
"Shiqiu, I have always loved you. You know, Tiantian has always regarded you as her biological father. I can do whatever I want, but I don't want to make Tiantian sad." He Qingrong pleaded in a just right way, and I couldn't bear to hear it.
Xiao Shiqiu closed his eyes and sighed, "Qingrong, I told you from the beginning that this would be the ending.
At that time you said that all you needed to do was give the child a father and a legal identity.
When I meet the person I love, he will give me freedom at any time.
Now that I've met someone I want to marry, I hope you won't make things difficult for me."
"I didn't expect you'd actually meet someone again... Tiantian is still young, can't you wait a little longer? The girl you like is still young too, so what if you let her wait a few more years?"
Her voice became noticeably more anxious. "Weren't the women you dealt with before very sensible? Why is this one so impatient?"
Xiao Shiqiu said sarcastically, "Tiantian is not a child anymore, she already knows how to spend money to steal other people's boyfriends."
He glanced at me subconsciously and said, “As for my affairs, you don’t have to worry about them. I didn’t interfere with what you did over the years, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know.
I have done my best for you and Tiantian."
What did she do? I couldn't help but sit up straight, waiting for Xiao Shiqiu to continue. My intuition told me that there was something big going on here.
