Chapter 169 Marriage is Always Unsuccessful
When Bai Guanqun heard Song Yilin say that, his eyes reddened and his lips trembled slightly.
"Mom, you're not planning to marry Lao Xu anymore, are you?"
Song Yilin glanced at Xu Qingmin and could tell from his eyes that he hadn't said anything.
Rather, it's because children are sensitive; they could tell from the way the adults interacted that there was a problem between her and Xu Qingmin.
Song Yilin was thinking about how to talk to her child when Bai Guanqun continued, "Mom, is it because of the prenuptial agreement that Lao Xu signed with you?"
Song Yilin frowned, only then remembering that Xu Qingya had widely reported on their prenuptial agreement online.
So the child already thought there was something wrong with them back then?
But that's fine, as long as the child doesn't feel that she caused her mother to marry someone else.
Song Yilin sat on the bed and brushed Bai Guanqun's hair aside.
"Guanqun, the adult world is complicated, but Mom will always love you. No matter whether Mom and your dad get married or not, Mom and Dad will love you the same."
Bai Guanqun stubbornly wiped away his tears: "It's not complicated. Many of my classmates' parents are from divorced families, which I can accept. But Mom, if Lao Xu changes for the better one day, can you give him a chance?"
Song Yilin's heart was gripped tightly. Regardless of the state of her parents' relationship, a child always hopes that both parents are together.
Song Yilin nodded: "Okay, Mom will give your dad a chance."
But who knows what will happen a few years from now?
Perhaps Xu Qingmin will meet someone he likes in the next few years.
It's possible that after a few years, Bai Guanqun will come to terms with it.
However, Xu Qingmin fixed his gaze on Song Yilin because of her suggestion to give her father a chance.
Xu Qingmin's gaze was too intense, so Song Yilin chose to look away.
She wouldn't ask Xu Qingmin to wait for her, since she was going to marry someone else, and the idea of her asking him to wait for her divorce was absurd.
However, if one day she manages to break off the engagement as she wishes, and Xu Qingmin is still single, she will definitely still want to be with Xu Qingmin.
After all, he is the father of her child and the person she loves most in her heart.
Song Yilin went to the airport to see the Xu family off.
Only after watching them board Xu Qingmin's private jet did Song Yilin return to the hospital.
Chen Yan stayed in the hospital for two days before the hospital officially declared that Chen Yan was out of danger and had no risk of amputation.
Song Yilin relayed the doctor's words.
"Mr. Chen, I need to go back to Jianghai City to handle some company matters."
Chen Yan scratched his ear and said with dissatisfaction, "We're getting married soon, and it's not appropriate for you to still call me President Chen."
Song Yilin ignored all of Chen Yan's flirting and said expressionlessly, "I will call you by your name in public, but I will still respectfully address you as President Chen in private. Also, I need to go back to Jianghai City, and I hope you can grant me leave."
She knew she didn't like Chen Yan, and she also knew that one day she would divorce Chen Yan, so she didn't want any unnecessary feelings to develop. She was an employee, and Chen Yan was an employer. The biggest taboo in the workplace is developing feelings for someone.
Therefore, Song Yilin will always maintain a good balance in this regard.
Chen Yan guessed that Song Yilin didn't like joking around with him, so he became serious as well.
“I’ve said it before, only that certificate is real, everything else is fake. Even if you’re going back to Jianghai City for business, or even if you’re going to meet Xu Qingmin, I have no objection.”
Chen Yan said that because he knew that Song Yilin was a very principled person. Since she was going to marry him, Song Yilin would not do anything to betray the marriage. No matter what the initial purpose of the marriage was, Song Yilin would abide by it. This was one of the reasons why he chose Song Yilin.
He has no other redeeming qualities, except that he's very good at judging people.
"I just need to go to Xu's Group to complete my resignation procedures."
Chen Yan waved his hand: "Go ahead."
After Chen Yan agreed, Song Yilin respectfully left Chen Yan's ward.
Their relationship will be made public after Chen Yan is discharged from the hospital.
Song Yilin booked a flight for that day to return to Jianghai City.
Upon arriving in Jianghai City, I suddenly realized that nowhere was suitable for me to stay.
The top-floor apartment on the island in the middle of the lake was her and Xu Qingmin's marital home, and she couldn't go to the Xu family's old mansion.
Chen Yan also has a house on the island in the middle of the lake. Before she left, Chen Yan sent her the house number and access code, but she didn't want to go to Chen Yan's house.
It suddenly struck me as a bit ridiculous, as if women have nowhere to go once they are not married.
Considering all her efforts over the years, the house in Yishi is under Bai Ye's name. Although she has paid off most of the mortgage, when she was with Xu Qingmin, she gave the house to her mother-in-law, who then gave it to Bai Guanqun.
The house no longer belongs to her; she's just managing it and renting it out.
The only house in Fengxiang Residential Area that truly belongs to her is the one her parents left her back then.
But she can't go back to this house either. The maid who takes care of her mother-in-law is living there now. If she were to move in there rashly, her mother-in-law and mother would think something had happened to her.
Even now, she still can't tell her mother-in-law and mother about her relationship with Chen Yan.
Especially the mother, whose daughter is getting remarried. The person she is marrying is not her granddaughter's father, nor her boyfriend, but a complete stranger she has never met.
He is also someone who is about to go to jail.
After thinking it over, Song Yilin decided to stay at a hotel, since she didn't have much time left in Jianghai City anyway.
After settling in, I went back to Fengxiang Community.
I bought a lot of supplements, clothes, and shoes for my mother-in-law and mother.
When Ms. Meng didn't see Bai Guanqun and Xu Qingmin return, her sharp eyes immediately asked, "Why did you come back by yourself?"
"Guanqun has been taking a lot of extracurricular classes lately."
"Did you have a fight with Guanqun's father?"
Hearing Ms. Meng say this, her mother-in-law also looked over.
"It wasn't an argument. I might not marry Xu Qingmin. I'll tell you the specific reasons later. But Xu Qingmin and I don't have any conflicts, so don't worry."
Song Yilin effectively blocked all of Ms. Meng's questions.
Judging from Song Yilin's determined look, she has already made up her mind, and no amount of persuasion will change her mind.
He sighed.
"Your marriage has always been troubled, and you're getting older. You have your own ideas, so your mother can't really say anything. Anyway, just live your life well and don't make yourself suffer."
After her surgery, my mother-in-law seemed to have gained a little weight, but because of her situation, her distressed expression remained: "I thought your marriage would go smoothly without me as a burden, but I didn't expect it still wouldn't work out."
Song Yilin squatted down in front of the two elderly people.
"Don't worry, Mother-in-law, Mom, I will make a good life for you."
Song Yilin didn't want to talk about Chen Yan's matter for the time being.
After all, this wasn't a normal marriage for her, so there was no need to meet the parents.
If your mother-in-law and mother accidentally find out, then explain; if they don't, then just let it go.
