That evening, the Western branch sent word that they could be arranged to return home the next morning, and that they should pack their belongings that night.
After Ji Fenghe sent the message to their small group chat, everyone jumped up excitedly in the room.
The young girl spammed the screen with dozens of "Today is a good day" emojis.
The spam only stopped when Jifeng posted an old image with a panda head and the words "Stop your spamming" in big letters.
This picture instantly brought out a bunch of people who had been lurking in the group.
Lu Xun was the first to be affected.
"Hey, Manager Ji, this picture is pretty old!"
Others echoed this sentiment:
"Manager Ji even sent an emoji, looks like he's in a good mood!"
"Of course! We're finally able to go home, who wouldn't be in a bad mood?"
...
Group messages kept coming in, but Ji Fenghe didn't say a word again.
It was as if it had vanished into thin air.
Song Mai, on the other hand, was in a very good mood. She packed her things into her suitcase while humming a song and glancing at the messages in the group chat every now and then.
As soon as she heard the news, she told Chu Xing first. The man didn't reply for a long time, probably because he was busy.
He didn't reply until Song Mai finished packing. She waited until almost bedtime before he finally replied: "Sorry, I was dealing with work. What time do you arrive tomorrow? I'll pick you up."
Song Mai wanted to call him to share her joy, but when she heard that he was busy, she gave up the idea of calling. After sending him the approximate departure time and expected arrival time, she reminded him not to work too hard and to get some rest.
The man simply replied with a "okay" and then fell silent.
Song Mai turned off the light and lay on the bed, her mind filled with thoughts of having a good meal when she got back. She felt like she was losing her sense of taste from eating so much Western food these past few days.
Meanwhile, the man sat in his office. It was just getting dark in Nandu. He rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
He had been very worried about Song Mai's safety in the Western Kingdom, hoping that the rain would stop soon, the disaster would pass quickly, and she would return soon.
But instead of Song Mai, he met his parents.
Their arrival caught him completely off guard, and now that he hadn't even settled things with his parents, Song Mai was already coming back.
For the first time, he hoped that the people in the West could wait two more days and let her return two days later.
At least give him time to deal with this matter.
Unfortunately, the Western branch had executed his order to arrange for the project team to return to China as soon as the rain stopped, and they did so very well.
As soon as the rain stopped, he immediately began making arrangements. Before he could even ask them to make the arrangements later, the branch office had already done so.
However, it doesn't matter how quickly the branch office makes arrangements right now. The rain has stopped, and even if the branch office doesn't make proper arrangements, they can buy their own plane tickets to come back.
Chu Xing leaned back wearily in his chair, his eyes fixed on the scenery outside the window, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
It took him a long time to come to his senses.
Opening his phone, Chu Xing saw Chu Mingqian's WeChat profile picture, which had received numerous messages from him that Chu Xing had yet to reply to, and felt a surge of frustration.
The messages weren't anything special; they were all undoubtedly urging him to divorce Song Mai.
When it comes to divorce, it's useless for anyone to ask him to get a divorce. As long as he doesn't agree, no matter how anxious others are, they can't get anything out of it.
However, Chu Mingqian and Qin Jizhi are still his parents, and their opposition is so strong. He hasn't been honest with Song Mai yet. If this continues, they might realize that telling him to get a divorce is useless, and then they will think of starting with the other protagonist in this marriage and go to Song Mai herself.
Chu Xing wasn't confident that the situation would still be under control by then.
At the very least, Song Mai couldn't simply brush off the fact that he had deceived her.
Meanwhile, Chu Mingqian was sitting at home, anxiously waiting.
He was angry at Chu Xing for not replying to his messages, but he also felt that it was expected.
He paced back and forth in the room, looking extremely agitated.
"Alright, stop walking around, you're making me dizzy."
Qin Jizhi was sitting at a small table in the courtyard, drinking flower tea, and pinched his brow with a slight headache.
Chu Mingqian put his hands on his hips and then casually pulled over a chair next to him and sat down.
"That brat, he's really gotten too big for his britches. I sent him so many messages, and he just ignored them all and didn't reply to a single one!"
Qin Jizhi glanced at him:
“You know your son’s personality. If he could be persuaded so easily, he wouldn’t be your son.”
Before coming here, she was very angry that Old Master Chu had introduced such a woman to Chu Xing so that he could marry her, and she was also angry that Chu Xing, who never listened to arrangements, had actually listened to the old man so much this time and had registered his marriage with a woman of unknown origin.
However, she also felt that this was just a small matter. Precisely because of this, Chu Xing probably didn't have much affection for that woman. He was just confused and listened to the old man's words to marry that woman.
But later, when Chu Mingqian and she learned about this, Chu Mingqian ordered him to divorce Song Mai, but he actually spoke up for Song Mai and insisted on the marriage.
This made her realize that things were not as she had imagined. Chu Xing had feelings for that woman, which is why he took it seriously and, together with Chu Mingqian, took leave and rushed back.
Even so, she still felt that her son knew how to weigh the pros and cons, and was just confused for a moment. She believed that as long as she and Chu Mingqian went back and explained the pros and cons to Chu Xing, he would agree to the divorce.
Contrary to his expectations, Chu Xing seemed to be bewitched by that enchantress and refused to get a divorce no matter what.
Since that's the case, resolving this matter will take a long time, and it's impossible to change Chu Xing's mind overnight.
She knew her son well; he had never changed his mind since he was a child, and he would definitely not listen to her this time.
Besides, he and this woman are newlyweds, and the novelty hasn't worn off yet. Presumably, that vixen hasn't finished using her seductive tricks. After a while, when the novelty wears off and he gets used to women's methods, he'll naturally listen to the pros and cons analysis when I explain the situation to him. Once he understands it himself, he'll get a divorce.
Most men are like that.
After figuring this out, Qin Jizhi was no longer in a hurry. Anyway, there was no use in being anxious now, and Chu Xing wouldn't listen anyway.
Perhaps we should wait a while longer, until the novelty wears off, and then she will introduce Chu Xing to a better one. After comparing the two, Chu Xing will naturally feel that the other woman is not presentable.
