Sheet music sheet twenty-four
Yu Ji knew that Tang Guangyao was pursuing her and was eager to prove his musical talent, so he took the initiative to find him and proposed a deal.
Although the other party looked very surprised and hurt, he finally agreed to her request. After all, only she could give him everything he wanted.
When they were together in their senior year of high school, she deliberately let the teacher catch them hugging and kissing, and in the end the teacher told her stubborn father in person.
Her father was furious at first, but in the end he had to compromise for the sake of his reputation and took the initiative to communicate with the other party's parents, and finally achieved the goal of engagement.
Her father was a university professor and came from a family of scholars with a good financial background. He looked down upon people who lived by relying on others' wishes.
He has a little unknown habit: he prefers others to live by his will.
That's why he chose to marry his mother, whose family was far away, or whose mother would never lend a helping hand even if she knew about his suffering.
Therefore, he could vent his temper at home without restraint, and would punch and kick people if he was not satisfied.
Yu Ji learned to get rid of her emotions since she was young, because it was useless and would only make her more irritable. Her mother couldn't do that, so she was gradually driven crazy.
She found the way out she wanted and wanted to help her mother, but she ended up being unable to take care of herself.
Before she and Tang Guangyao got married, he was really good to her and always did what she wanted, no matter how big or small.
Her heart wasn't made of stone, so it would definitely warm up if she held him close. After they got married, he didn't become like his father.
Yu Ji thought that she was really lucky, and it was not unacceptable to treat him with respect.
Then, her good luck came to an abrupt end on the day Tang Xi was born.
To be precise, it was after he knew Tang Xi's gender.
"Why is it a daughter......"
She didn't hear the tone he used when he said this in person; Song Duzhou relayed it to her later.
Yu Ji spoke directly, not hiding any dissatisfaction at all, and immediately questioned: "Tang Guangyao, why were you sighing at the door of the delivery room, 'Why is it a daughter?'"
Tang Guangyao looked flustered and quickly denied it, "Don't get me wrong, I really don't think there's anything wrong with my daughter. You know, our family has always been progressive. We wouldn't adopt the same patriarchal approach as yours."
Yu Ji was not satisfied with his answer and continued to ask, "Since you think your daughter is good, why do you sigh like that?"
No matter how carefully he weaves lies, he cannot hide his true thoughts.
"Xiao Ji, I'm just worried that Xixi is under too much pressure, so I sighed like this. Even if she completely inherits your and my musical talent, you know our Tang family has been a musical family for hundreds of years, so there must be an heir. A girl will definitely not be able to handle it."
Yu Ji held the babbling Tang Xi in his arms, letting her hold his ring finger without even raising his head. "Because she's a girl, you assumed she couldn't handle it from the moment she was in swaddling clothes? Tang Guangyao, your suspicion is groundless."
Tang Guangyao quickly shook his head in denial, "Oh, that's not what I meant. Although my ancestors never had a female heir, that was definitely because those girls weren't capable enough to carry the family. Xixi inherited our genes, so if she became the heir, she would definitely become the most prominent member of our Tang family!"
He coughed twice and added softly, "But being the family heir is too tiring. It would be better to let a boy take over, don't you think?"
"I say you're being ridiculous. If you don't think she can't do it, then what's the point of talking about being tired or not?" Yu Ji frowned and said, "And from what you said, do you really want me to have another boy?"
Tang Guangyao's eyes dodged. "It's so auspicious that a boy and a girl can form a good word."
Yu Ji's head was already groggy, and now it was hard to hide his impatience after a few words with him: "I didn't know you were talking about auspiciousness. Don't forget, before we got married, we agreed to only have one child. I want to use the extra time to practice the piano."
"But--"
Yu Ji didn't give him a chance to finish and interrupted him directly: "Besides, I don't think your family has anything that must be passed down. Otherwise, it will disappear completely after it reaches your generation, and I won't have the chance to see it with my own eyes."
Tang Guangyao's face turned pale instantly: "Yu Ji, you're going a bit too far."
Yu Ji couldn't resist the urge to roll his eyes. "Excessive? Others might not know, but don't you know if what I said is objective fact? Tang Guangyao, we had a good discussion at the beginning. I would provide you with musical help and build a family that your parents would be happy with. I would also play the role of your wife outside. All you had to do was help me solve the problems at home and give me a quiet space to continue playing the piano. Are you regretting it now?"
Tang Guangyao clenched his fists at his sides, "Yu Ji, what do you mean by suddenly bringing up high school? We already have a child, are you planning on turning around and choosing someone else?"
Yu Ji felt that this was really unreasonable: "I just gave birth to a child with you, not signed a contract to sell myself. Why can't I choose someone else? Why do I have to choose someone else to survive?"
Tang Guangyao paced around the room a few times, frowning as he finally said, "Yu Ji, she's a girl. Can you bear to let her take on such a heavy responsibility?"
Yu Ji shook his head slightly: "No, even if she is a boy, I will not force her to bear any inexplicable responsibilities. I didn't give birth to her to let her suffer."
Tang Guangyao frowned and said, "Do you think it doesn't matter if she has no talent for piano?"
Yu Ji answered as a matter of course: "If my daughter likes the piano, let her play it. I will answer any questions she has that she doesn't understand. If she doesn't like it, she can just tell me directly. As for what she wants to do, I will support her. For me, everything is just doing the right thing, so what does it matter if she has talent or not?"
"Yu Ji, you are simply unreasonable!"
Tang Guangyao was so angry that he smashed things in the house for the first time.
Yu Ji's eyes swept across the debris on the ground, his expression still calm. Only when he lowered his head to look at his daughter in his arms did his eyebrows soften a little.
Tang Guangyao looked back every three steps, but never got a word from her saying "Goodbye".
He became more and more furious, and left the house in a hurry without looking back. All he thought was, "I'm going to teach her a lesson."
After that day, he started not coming home frequently, and he would not come back until late at night without calling in advance.
Yu Ji usually only waited until six o'clock. After about three days, she was not willing to waste even half an hour and would eat on time at half past five.
She said to the nanny, "Auntie, from now on, if my husband doesn't call and come back for dinner before four o'clock, you can just cook for me."
Yu Ji was not unable to guess what he was going to do, but she didn't care at all, whether it was cheating or having an illegitimate child.
She was just fulfilling her promise and responding to his kindness. She was also touched because he treated her well.
If Lin Shuangxue had not had completely different ideas from her, she would probably have never bothered to lift the veil in her life. When there was no need to continue trading with him anymore, she would have left quietly.
At first, when she saw the barrage of abusive emails in her mailbox, she didn't even bother to click on them to read the details.
But the other party was so persistent that even if she was blocked, he would change his number and start over. He flooded her with work-related insults, which made her feel helpless. Finally, she had no choice but to solve the problem and read all the emails sent by the other party from beginning to end.
She really couldn't understand why the other party, who claimed to be a graduate of a prestigious university, kept cursing people without knowing why, talking about things that she didn't care about at all, and even thought that it was an attack.
Academic qualifications.
appearance.
son.
Tang Guangyao's love?
Yu Ji couldn't control his facial expression, which was rare. He stared at the ceiling and grumbled, "I feel like I wasted the whole afternoon."
She leaned back in her chair, her feet tapping rhythmically on the ground. Thinking about how to solve the problem didn't last long.
She decisively sent an email to the other party, the content of which was simple and concise.
"Meet me at the teahouse on XX Road at 10 o'clock tomorrow."
The other party's reply was faster than she expected, as if he was squatting in front of the computer waiting.
"I'll be back tomorrow, but I tell you, no matter what you say, you can't separate Guangyao and me! I've seen too many people like you who don't want to make progress. You think being kept means you can live your whole life without having to work, right? I tell you, if he keeps you today, he'll keep someone else tomorrow. I advise you to take the money and find a decent job quickly."
Even if she thinks she is the "main wife", according to her logic, Tang Guangyao will cheat on this one today and that one tomorrow. What is the point of getting rid of her, the "mistress"?
Yu Ji originally wanted to go back to six o'clock, but finally resisted the endless urge and decided to meet with her the next day to talk. If the other party was unreasonable, she would have to put the divorce on the agenda early.
At nine-thirty, she and the boss nodded, "Same place, same as usual."
At 9:50, she drank her black tea leisurely and clearly saw the woman standing at the door, looking inside with a furtive look in her eyes, but she took her time to enter until 10:30.
The moment she walked through the door, it was as if a magical switch in her temperament was turned on. She was no longer sneaky, but walked with her head held high and her chest puffed out, creating a gust of wind.
Her name is Lin Shuangxue, but her skin is rather dark, and she is wearing something that is not expensive and recognizable at first glance, but is a very stylish niche brand, with neat trimmings and low-key colors.
She sat down in front of her, crossed her legs, and pretended to be calm.
Seeing that Yu Ji was still drinking tea leisurely and had no intention of speaking, she opened her mouth and said in an angry voice: "You——"
Yu Ji put his finger to his lips and shook it: "Keep your voice down, this is a teahouse, it's easy to disturb the peace and quiet."
Lin Shuangxue's face was filled with discontent, but she remained obedient and lowered her voice, narrowing her eyes as she spoke, "I'm telling you, no matter how much money you spend or how high-end the venue, you can never fake class."
Yu Ji put down the teacup and smiled, "Yeah, you've been harassing me with emails for months and then poked your head in the door for half an hour. Now even if you try to act calm, I won't believe you."
Lin Shuangxue had a dark complexion, and her eyes glared with a sudden air of awe. "You saw the email a long time ago, and you saw me standing at the door, so why didn't you say anything?"
Yu Ji shrugged his shoulders. "I come here to drink tea every day and won't go home until the afternoon. So if you like to waste time harassing me or peeping, that's your business."
Lin Shuangxue choked, crossed her arms, turned away, and said speechlessly: "Since you are so open-minded, why do you want to be a mistress? I advise you -"
"Stop trying to persuade me."
Yu Ji took out the marriage certificate from her bag.
Lin Shuangxue's pupils suddenly contracted, and she looked almost dead.
"Look at the time," she said.
Lin Shuangxue swallowed her saliva, picked up the marriage certificate and looked at it again and again with trembling hands. Before she could cover her mouth, tears had already burst into her eyes.
Yu Ji was not in a hurry to take back the 'damaged' document, but opened a pack of tissues and handed it to her.
She took the tissue and said nothing, so she didn't ask anything.
Yu Ji has always been patient. He was able to wait for half an hour just now, and now he can also wait until she stops crying and speaks again.
She rubbed her walnut eyes with the back of her hand, loosened her teeth from biting her lower lip, and said in a trembling voice, "It turns out that after all this time, I'm the idiot who should have found a job earlier."
Yu Ji's gaze slowly fell on her from the window.
"You should definitely get a job, but I don't think you're stupid."
