Chapter 215 Let’s Divorce You don’t believe me, and I don’t believe you, let’s divorce…
Xu Wei couldn't do such a thing. It was too humiliating and went against his principles.
What's more, Chu Lingze was not present at the time of the incident. Chu Lingyi is an adult, who can control her too much?
So Xu Wei shook his head and said, "Mom, you can hit me or scold me, but forget about implicating other people. Ultimately, this is still my fault."
Zhou Ying wasn't sure about her daughter's attitude, and she didn't want to push her son-in-law too hard. What if her daughter refused to divorce? As a mother, she couldn't be by her side all the time, so she snorted coldly and let Xu Wei go.
Xu Wei saw that this matter wouldn't be resolved anytime soon, so he could only sigh silently, "Editor-in-Chief Yao, thank you for your hard work. Haven't you eaten yet? How about I treat you to a meal at the restaurant?"
Yao Zhizhi shook her head. "No, I'll go back to see the kids. If you have anything to say, talk calmly and don't let outsiders laugh at you."
Yao Zhizhi emphasized the word "outsider", specifically referring to Chu Lingyi.
Zhou Juan understood. She weakly said, "I understand," and thanked him.
Yao Zhizhi smiled and turned to leave, but unexpectedly Zhou Ying chased after her.
She grabbed Yao Zhizhi's arm and asked, "Xiao Yao, will Juan'er be reported again for asking for leave this time?"
"No, Aunt Zhou, don't worry." Yao Zhizhi comforted her, "Zhou Juan has changed a lot recently. She works very hard and is more serious about her work. Aunt Zhou, please give her some advice. If she can change her temper, she will definitely get better in the future. Otherwise, if she meets someone like Chu Lingyi again, she will still suffer."
Zhou Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand. You've been really hard at work, Xiao Yao. You've always been running around like this."
"It's okay, it's what I should do." Yao Zhizhi was hungry and didn't want to be polite anymore. She advised, "Aunt Zhou, please go back to the ward. What Zhou Juan needs most right now is you."
Zhou Ying waved her hand and said politely, "Give my regards to your parents. I'll go visit them when Zhou Juan gets better."
"Oh, I got it." Yao Zhizhi hurried home. When she passed by the police station, she went in to take a look. Chu Lingyi was crying and pretending to be pitiful in the detention room.
Yao Zhizhi was too lazy to click on the system's gossip alert. It was just a trivial matter, nothing new. Even if she helped to calm the situation, the reward would be average. After all, it was not some particularly outrageous melodrama.
But she still took a quick look, and the system did mention that it was Chu Lingyi who tripped Zhou Juan.
In this case, she still needed to tell her mother-in-law. Tang Fengyuan went with her to the yard to discuss it in detail: "Even if I believe this, it's useless without evidence."
"Then what should we do? Just let her get away with it? Zhou Juan was really wronged this time, and she was injured so badly." Yao Zhizhi was not targeting anyone, but the matter was certainly wrong. But weren't Xu Wei and Chu Lingyi even more wrong and more outrageous?
Chu Lingyi must be taught a lesson. As for Xu Wei, Zhou Ying will naturally take care of him, so she won't get involved.
Tang Fengyuan said helplessly: "Everything requires evidence. You heard it too. Xu Wei said he didn't see it. After all, he is a scholar and a noble man. It is impossible for him to lie openly just to please Zhou Ying."
"Then it seems that the only option is for the Chu family to pay compensation." Yao Zhizhi was at a loss. She was not present, so there was little she could do.
Tang Fengyuan whispered, "Whether they can afford the compensation is still unclear. I just received news that President Chu has been suspended. Director Yuan will temporarily take over the position of president of your publishing house. He will send Xiao Wang from the publicity department to keep an eye on things soon. Cheer up, do your job well, and don't worry about anything else."
"Xiao Wang?" Yao Zhizhi almost forgot about this person, the guy who was replaced by a cat as the prince. She didn't know when his affair would become a big deal.
In short, she will be careful about what she does.
When she returned to the yard, Yao Zhizhi suddenly felt a lump in her throat. Her children were very worried because she had not returned home for dinner yet. They were standing by the dinner table, staring at the door.
Seeing her come back, the brother and sister rushed out and hugged her legs on the left and right.
"Mom, Dad said you had something to do, so we should eat first, but my sister refused and wanted to wait for you." Little Star quickly took the credit for her sister.
Little Moon couldn't speak clearly, but she yelled, "Mom, eat, eat!"
Yao Zhizhi felt warm in her heart, and quickly picked up the little darling, holding Xiao Xingxing's hand, and went back to eat together.
"Has everyone else eaten?" Yao Zhizhi asked when she didn't see her sister and the others.
Qi Changxiao nodded: "Mom and Dad have already eaten, so there are only four of us left."
That's fine too. We are a family of four and it's hot anyway, so there's no need to reheat the dish.
After dinner, Yao Zhizhi coaxed the two children to take a nap. Today, the brother and sister slept together, and she told stories to the two children by their bedside.
Halfway through the story, the two children fell asleep.
Little Moon sleeps in a free and unrestrained posture, with her left leg resting on Little Star's belly, looking very proud.
Little Star sleeps in an elegant posture, lying flat on his back with his legs together. He is so gentle and adorable in a special way.
Yao Zhizhi quickly picked up the camera, took pictures of the two children, developed them and asked Yiyi to send them to the bank of the Hong Kong River. Jiaojiao would come to pick up the photos and give them to her third brother.
I don’t know how my third brother is doing over there. It would be great if I could get in touch with him on the phone.
Well, wait a little longer, that day will come.

Zhou Ying was busy with work, so after scolding Xu Wei for more than an hour, he still caught the afternoon train and went back.
Three days later, she would ask her son to come over and support Zhou Juan. For such a big matter, her family had to show up, otherwise her husband's family would completely despise Zhou Juan and act recklessly.
By then, the Shan family should be here. If the law can't solve a problem, an angry mother-in-law will always be able to do something miraculous.
After Zhou Ying left, Xu Wei's father called him to the corridor and asked, "What are you thinking, kid? If you still want to live with Zhou Juan, you must keep your distance from other women. Even if you say you are innocent, will others believe you?"
After all, it was early in the morning, and they were alone with a man and a woman. If Zhou Juan had stayed out all night and been with other men early in the morning, Xu Wei would also feel uncomfortable.
Xu Wei was silent. He had indeed lost patience with Zhou Juan recently, and subconsciously always believed Chu Lingyi's one-sided words in everything.
It was his fault, but he did have the thought of not wanting to live anymore. Although it was the result of Chu Lingyi's instigation, it at least showed that the problems between him and Zhou Juan had really accumulated to a certain extent, and if they were not resolved, they would completely fall apart.
He could only sigh: "I don't know, I'll have a good talk with her."
Father Xu said earnestly, "Hey, son, think twice before doing anything. Daddy's telling you the truth, you two aren't bad off, and you don't have children, so you can find someone else after a divorce. But even if you can find someone to remarry, it's hard to find someone as well matched. Your mother and I had a conflict before, and we went into a cold war for two years, but we got back together, didn't we? No husband and wife can ever be as good as the original one, so you must be careful."
Xu Wei nodded: "I understand. I will think about it carefully. Now it depends on Zhou Juan's attitude."
"Whatever her attitude is, you have to adopt your own attitude. This time is very thrilling. If you knock her out, you will go to jail!" Father Xu was still in shock. This Chu Lingyi was too vicious. He must never let his son come into contact with this woman again. He couldn't help but remind him, "Also, tell your boss about the library work and ask him to replace her! From now on, don't even have any contact with your classmate. Listen to me, it's right. If there was anyone in their family who could tell the truth, things wouldn't have come to this. It's not like Zhou Juan hasn't talked to your classmate before, and Xiao Yao is willing to testify about this matter. It's impossible for him to be slandered."
Xu Wei didn't think so. People always protect their own shortcomings, and it was human nature for Chu Lingze to do that. Besides, which brother could control his adult sister? Even parents might not be able to do so.
So he didn't respond to this sentence, but only urged: "Okay, Dad, you and Mom both have to go to work, go back quickly, I will take care of Zhou Juan."
"What about your experimental fields?" Father Xu was very worried. It was not easy to work with Mr. Chang. He didn't want his son's future to be affected by this, so he simply suggested, "Why don't I ask Xiaoyu to come over?"
"Alright." Xu Wei nodded. "Then please tell my uncle that I'll be staying at the hospital today."
"Well, that's the best." Father Xu quickly called Mother Xu and went back to make arrangements.
For a moment, only the young couple were left in the ward, looking at each other in silence.
Zhou Juan was very sad. Xu Wei chose to believe Chu Lingyi again and again, and failed to live up to her expectations again and again.
She really wanted to get a divorce, but she was unwilling to do so.
Yao Weihua's introduction did not play a decisive role at all. It was she herself who fell in love with Xu Wei.
He is handsome, polite, gentle and bookish, which perfectly meets her imagination of a spouse.
But she didn't expect that the former beauty was only a flash in the pan. The two of them soon exposed various contradictions, which led to the point where they are today.
If she were to ask herself honestly, she was wrong, and it was a serious one.
So she has been tolerant in everything recently, hoping that Xu Wei can see her changes, but Xu Wei seems to have lost his patience with her, and she is not sure whether it is necessary to continue.
After much thought, she finally asked, "Am I an unreasonable crazy woman in your heart?"
Xu Wei looked at her and sighed silently: "This is what you do when you get angry."
"In your heart, I have no advantages at all, right?" Zhou Juan was not surprised by such an answer, but she was still very sad. Tears fell uncontrollably, gathering into a river of sadness, winding down her face.
Xu Wei picked up a handkerchief and wiped her dryness: "Not really, there are advantages, but they are a little few."
"How much is too much?" Zhou Juan instinctively wanted to avoid his hand, but she was also greedy for his tenderness, so she let him wipe away her tears.
Xu Wei was stumped by the question and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If the number of disadvantages and advantages is swapped, it should be about the same."
"Then make a list and let me see exactly how many there are." Zhou Juan was not convinced. Since she was being criticized like this, she should at least give some clear answers, right?
Xu Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He's throwing a tantrum again. What's the point of listing them? People aren't commodities. They can't be weighed or quantified."
"Aren't you just measuring me?" Zhou Juan cried and accused him, "You don't care how hard I work, you don't care how proactive I am, your heart has flown away. You think Chu Lingyi is gentle and considerate, more virtuous than me, then go find her. I don't believe she is really better than me. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see!"
Xu Wei quickly denied it: "I didn't. I admit that I did think it would be better if you had a better temper, but I didn't think of replacing you with her. Besides, who could imitate your bad temper?"
"I have a bad temper, but do you have a good temper? You almost hit me in the editorial office, and you haven't even apologized yet!" Zhou Juan was annoyed and told him to get out. "Go away, I don't want to see you anymore."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll change. Don't cry anymore. Your brain is already damaged. If you cry again, the pressure in your skull will increase and you'll become stupid."
"It's better to be stupid. If you're stupid, you won't be sad. My man is going to hit me, so why are you still dreaming about life?"
"I'm sorry. It's my fault."
"Sorry? If Editor Yao hadn't stopped you, you would have already started. This is hilarious. My mom couldn't bear to hit me, so why did you hit me? And for such a dramatic woman? Just divorce me!"
"I was really wrong and I will never do it again."
"No! You don't believe I will change, and I don't believe you will change. Let's get a divorce."
