“You… Su Mu! This is your child too!” Xu Xiuzhen trembled with anger.
Su Mu didn't even glance at the child.
"Whether you feed it formula or not is up to you! I'm not feeding it!" After saying that, she lay back down.
"I've lived for decades, and this is the first time I've ever seen a mother like you! Let me tell you, if you don't feed her, I'll make Nanxing divorce you right now! And I'll kick you out of the Liao family!"
Su Mu snorted coldly and asked Liao Nanxing, "Do you want a divorce?"
"Nanxing, you said if she doesn't breastfeed the child, then kick him out!" Xu Xiuzhen roared.
"Mumu, can you just listen to your mother this once?"
Seeing Liao Nanxing standing with Xu Xiuzhen again, Su Mu finally couldn't hold back her tears.
"Anan! Why do you listen to everything she says? Have you ever thought about me? Do you know how much a woman has to pay to breastfeed a child?"
Do you know how painful it is when your nipples are sore and cracked while breastfeeding? Do you know how unsightly your breasts become saggy and deformed after breastfeeding?
Yes! The child is better, but I'm losing hair from staying up late, and my skin is sallow and aged! Did you know any of this? Think carefully, when did Zhou Chunhua start to age? Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to see it?
At this point, Su Mu, whose face was streaked with tears, suddenly smiled, but that smile was tinged with sadness and desolation.
"From the moment you refused to help me keep my job, I knew... you! And you! You all want to turn me into the second Zhou Chunhua!"
Su Mu wiped away the tears on his face.
"But don't worry, I'm not as foolish as Zhou Chunhua! Because I know how important a good appearance is to a woman!"
"Su Mu! Do you know what nonsense you're spouting?" Xu Xiuzhen said angrily, "What do you mean? You're married with children, why are you still concerned about that? What are you trying to do? Are you planning to cheat on me?"
Su Mu sneered: "You're wrong! It's your son who's cheating!"
"What...what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Am I wrong? If Zhou Chunhua weren't old and ugly, why would he have cheated on me? Besides, as long as I'm young and beautiful, I won't have trouble marrying someone better after I divorce him!"
"Heavens!" Xu Xiuzhen put the baby in the crib, clapped her hands and cried, "What sins has my Liao family committed? How could we have a daughter-in-law like you! Nan Zui! You just stand by and do nothing, don't you know what to do?"
Watching the little old lady arguing heatedly and wailing, Liao Nanxing, feeling annoyed, took out a cigarette, lit it, and went to the balcony.
The night wind blew by, its icy chill carrying away the sounds of arguing and giving him a rare moment of peace.
For some reason, he felt a particular longing for the past, for the days before he divorced Zhou Chunhua.
Back then, he could focus on his work, come home to a hot meal, and sleep peacefully at night.
"Sigh!" If he could turn back time, he would never have divorced Zhou Chunhua.
He took out his phone, wanting to browse his WeChat Moments to distract himself.
Then... he saw a post Gu Yao had recently made on his WeChat Moments.
He frowned when he saw the plate of spicy pork ribs covered in chili peppers.
Looking at the comments section, it has already surpassed one hundred.
Gu Ling: Wow! Teacher Gu is so sweet! He's personally cooking delicious food for his girlfriend!
Boundless Magic Power: So happy! [Emoji: Envious]
The students were delighted: "It looks delicious! When will Teacher Gu teach me how to eat it?"
A few replies to everyone's delight: Why would I teach you? Do you have a girlfriend?
Having read this far, Liao Nanxing had lost all interest in continuing.
The hand holding the phone cracked loudly.
Zhou Chunhua! No wonder you were so resolute in your decision to divorce!
...
Zhou Chunhua escorted Gu Yao to the elevator.
"Thank you so much for today."
Gu Yao adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, said nothing, and simply entered the elevator with a smile on his face.
As usual, I parked my car in the underground parking lot on the second basement level before taking the elevator up.
Along the way, he scrolled through Xiaohongshu on his phone, selecting the dishes he would learn next.
Zhou Chunhua, who had turned around and gone home, looked at the clean and tidy kitchen and couldn't help but think of Gu Yao.
Before I knew it, the corners of my mouth turned up.
It wasn't until Juliana returned that Zhou Chunhua realized she had been spacing out for almost an hour.
"Have you eaten?" she asked, getting up in a fluster.
"Not yet. Is there anything to eat? I'm starving." Juliana shoved herself into the sofa and sighed wearily, "Doing business these days is so hard."
Zhou Chunhua got up to heat up the dishes.
A moment later, Juliana rushed over.
"What did you make today? It smells so good! Wow! Ribs? They look delicious!"
Unable to wait any longer, Juliana grabbed a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Mmm! Delicious! It has to be you, Hua! With this skill, your private kitchen business would definitely be a huge hit!"
"Um... I didn't do this," Zhou Chunhua said awkwardly.
"Huh? Not you? Then who is it?"
"Gu Yao." Zhou Chunhua didn't hide it.
Juliana stood there, stunned, for a long time without making a sound.
When he came to his senses, his eyes lit up.
"Gu Yao? He...you...you all..."
"Don't make wild guesses! I'm eating here today because of work."
Julia covered her mouth and chuckled.
Gu Yao cooks for others? If word got out, who would believe it?
However... Juliana's expression turned worried.
Gu Yao suddenly acted like this towards Hua Hua...
Last time Hua Hua was tricked into going to a pyramid scheme, Gu Yao immediately dropped everything and rushed over as soon as she called. The way he was so anxious didn't seem like something a normal friend would do!
"What are you thinking about now? Eat up, the food will get cold again."
Urged on, Juliana finally snapped out of her daze.
That night, someone took out their phone and flipped through their entire contact list, not knowing who to ask.
Some people couldn't sleep all night because of the argument.
Some people spent the entire night scrolling through Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform).
Zhou Chunhua, on the other hand, talked on the phone with Lao Chen until midnight.
...
The next morning, Zhou Chunhua, who had only slept for five hours, had just finished making breakfast when the doorbell rang.
Confused, she ran to look at Nana's door, but it was closed, which meant she was home! Who was outside that door?
I glanced at the cat's eye... Gu Yao?
The door opened.
"You...why are you here?" She thought Gu Yao had called and she hadn't heard it, so she took a look at her phone, but there were no missed calls.
Didn't you say yesterday that breakfast should be eaten at home?
"ah?"
Zhou Chunhua, who was holding a soup spoon, froze on the spot.
She did say that breakfast should be eaten at home, but what she meant was that he should eat breakfast at his own home, not come to her place for breakfast...
"Is it convenient to go in? If not, you can eat here."
"It's convenient!"
Gu Yao has helped her so much, how could she possibly turn him away!
