Ah, this...
Su Xueli looked at Manager Gao with confusion.
Manager Gao whispered to them, "This is my ex-wife. She might need to see me."
Su Xueli and her second aunt immediately said, "Then you two talk, we'll excuse ourselves for a moment."
They walked to a spot and watched Manager Gao and his ex-wife from a distance.
Since Su Xueli wants to bring Manager Gao and her second aunt together, she needs to pay attention to Manager Gao's situation and see if he still has any emotional entanglements with his ex-wife.
As the saying goes, "A first marriage fears a mistress, a second marriage fears an ex-wife." We can't let my second aunt have any worries.
Su Xueli walked closer to them, slipped behind a counter, and listened intently to their movements.
“Zhiyuan, I didn’t come here today to ask you for our daughter’s living expenses. I just wanted to see you. Something happened at home. My father suddenly had a stroke and has been in the hospital for a week but still can’t speak. My mother also had a heart attack due to the shock…” the woman said, sobbing.
Manager Gao stood ramrod straight. "Thank you for your hard work. Don't you have a nanny at home? If she's too busy, you can hire another one."
The woman looked frail and said, "Zhiyuan, it's not about the nanny, it's just that I feel empty inside. I wish you were here..."
Gao Zhiyuan smiled faintly: "How could that be? We're already divorced. The only connection between us is our daughter. All I need to do is send her money every month and take care of her as much as I can."
The woman looked at him with teary eyes and asked, "Zhiyuan, don't you have any feelings for me at all?"
Gao Zhiyuan said calmly, "It's over between us a long time ago, so let's not talk about that useless stuff. Oh, right, I have dinner appointments with some friends, so I can't keep them waiting too long. I'm leaving now, goodbye."
"Zhiyuan!" She reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
She said gently, "Zhiyuan, I've come all this way, are you just going to leave me like this? Please, come back with me to see my parents. My father really wanted to help you back then."
Gao Zhiyuan said coldly, "I don't owe any of your family any favors, and my status is not suitable for me to visit your parents anymore. Please let go."
After saying that, he stared at her hand that was gripping his clothes.
She withdrew her hand as he looked at her, watching him walk towards her second aunt and Su Xueli.
Gao Zhiyuan apologized to the two men: "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. I'll have a few more drinks to make up for it. Let's go."
Second Aunt said, "Zhiyuan, if you have something to do, go take care of it. We can have dinner another time."
Gao Zhiyuan said, "I've already finished my business. Let's go."
Second Aunt and Su Xueli followed him downstairs.
Su Xueli glanced back at the woman, who was glaring at them with eyes blazing with fury.
She thought to herself: It seems that her second aunt and Gao Zhiyuan are really not getting along. This ex-wife is no pushover.
At the restaurant, Gao Zhiyuan briefly told his second aunt about what his ex-wife had told him earlier. He was very firm in his attitude: "We divorced because we were both disappointed and heartbroken. The reason I haven't looked for someone else is because those years living with her left a shadow on my life. So, there is no room for reconciliation between us."
Su Xueli thought to herself: That's good.
Auntie chuckled twice and said, "This is between you two, there's no need to bring it up."
Gao Zhiyuan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just blurted it out. I think we're old classmates, there's nothing we can't talk about."
My second aunt smiled but didn't say anything.
