Chapter 44 Let's Get Divorced

"What do you mean you can do nothing about it!" Ning Min was also furious. Looking at her sister's expression, she became even more furious: "Do you know that once you get involved in gambling, it's all over! His life is ruined! Listen to me, divorce him!"

Wei Shengmou's face turned pale as he listened to this. He looked at Ning Miao and said, "Miao Miao, I will change. Really, I will definitely change. Even if it's for our daughter, I will never gamble again. I kneel down for you. I beg you, don't get a divorce. I beg you."

As Wei Shengmou spoke, he broke down and cried, raising his hands and slapping himself repeatedly.

He looked as pitiful as he could be now, but Qi Nian on the side frowned, feeling a little contempt in his heart.

No matter how much this kind of man regrets now, he may really regret it, but once this incident is over, it won't be long before he gambles again.

Qi Nian didn't want Ning Miao to believe what the other party said, but he could see that Ning Miao's expression seemed a little shaken.

Ning Min naturally saw through it, and loudly questioned her sister: "Are you stupid? You believe such words? I think you want to piss me off to death!"

"I don't believe him." Ning Miao rubbed her hair in frustration: "But, if I divorce him, what will happen to Yangyang?"

"Get a divorce and let Yangyang follow you." Ning Min said.

"Sister." Wei Shengmou cried and said, "Although it was my fault for gambling, Yangyang is also my biological daughter. You are so... cruel. If Yangyang didn't have a father, she would be so sad."

"You're thinking about Yangyang now. Why didn't you think about him when you went gambling?" Qi Nian couldn't help it.

Wei Shengmou was scolded by a junior, his face was a little bad, and he whispered: "I... I was cheated, I will never gamble again. You are so aggressive, do you want to force me to death?!"

A grown man was crying and shouting, as if it was someone else's fault.

Ning Min saw it all and became even more disappointed. This man didn't even have the basic sense of responsibility. He would just push the blame onto others when things went wrong and would go crazy and break down when faced with accusations from others. He would either overtly or covertly use Wei Yang to threaten Ning Miao. How could she let her sister continue to follow this man?

If a gambler gets too excited, no one can predict what the other person will do.

Neither side gave in. Ning Miao had obviously lost her feelings for Wei Shengmou, but she still cared about her daughter Wei Yang, and the situation was at a stalemate for a while.

Ning Min was almost furious. She understood that Ning Miao loved her daughter, but Ning Miao had underestimated Wei Yang's psychological endurance. He was already a high school student, not a child who knew nothing.

"Sister, I know you are doing this for my own good." Ning Miao tidied her hair, wiped her tears, and tried to force a smile: "But this is my choice, and I will bear the consequences. I...please don't tell my parents about this, they are old, don't let them worry about it."

"You still know how old your parents are?!" Ning Min was so angry that she didn't know what to do. She was even more angry with her sister than with Wei Shengmou.

He has been strong-willed since he was young. Whenever he encountered problems, he would never discuss them with his family. He would rather solve the problems by himself and would never ask for help from his family.

Wei Shengmou, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile when he saw Ning Miao made her choice, and kept assuring her: "Miao Miao, don't worry, I will definitely change. I swear, if I make the same mistake again, I will be struck by five thunders and I will never be able to be reborn."

As he said this, he was about to reach out to grab Ning Miao's hand.

Ning Miao avoided him coldly and said to Wei Shengmou: "I just don't want to divorce now. We will get divorced after Yangyang finishes the college entrance examination."

Wei Shengmou still had a smile on his face: "Miao Miao, it's OK as long as you are willing to give me this chance."

Qi Nian was so angry that he looked like a pufferfish. He looked at Ning Min who looked tired. He knew that she wanted to interfere. But although Ning Miao was Ning Min's sister, to put it bluntly, this was their family affair. As long as Ning Miao herself didn't want to figure it out, no one else could do anything about it.

Qi Nian whispered to Ning Min, "Auntie, what's Yangyang's personality like?"

Ning Min came back to her senses and said subconsciously: "Yangyang's personality is like her mother, but she is not as inflexible as your aunt. Anyway, she is a very strong child."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qi Nian and said, "You are..."

"I think we should talk to Yangyang in private." Qi Nian expressed his thoughts: "If Yangyang's personality is really like this, she should be more willing to know about this. I believe she can make a rational choice."

Although this matter was indeed a bit cruel to Wei Yang, Ning Min also had this idea, but she was still a little hesitant.

Just when Ning Min was feeling a little confused, a surprising person walked in.

"Yangyang, why are you here!" Ning Miao subconsciously tidied her hair and looked at Wei Yang in school uniform and Chu Rongshi behind him.

Today is Tuesday, and Wei Yang should have been in school, but he ended up here. The reason is self-evident.

When Ning Miao got closer, she found that Wei Yang's eyes were a little red, as if he had just cried. She hurriedly asked Wei Yang what was wrong.

On the other side, Qi Nian also quickly ran to Chu Rongshi and asked him in a low voice what was going on.

"I found out some things and went to school to ask for leave for Yangyang." Chu Rongshi explained.

Qi Nian almost immediately thought of what his brother was going to do, and his face wrinkled a little. Although he originally wanted to contact Wei Yang in private, he originally wanted to do it step by step. Wouldn't his brother's behavior really irritate Wei Yang?

"Don't worry, she is much stronger than you think." Chu Rongshi looked at Qi Nian's wrinkled face and said in a low voice.

Qi Nian's eyes widened: "Yangyang already knows?!"

Chu Rongshi: "Yeah, I just talked to her in the car."

Everyone thought: "..."

He looked at Wei Yang with some concern, wondering if his brother was being too simple and rough.

At this moment, Wei Yang looked at Wei Shengmou, his eyes that were very similar to Ning Miao's were a little cold.

Although Wei Shengmou has no advantages, he really loves his daughter, and he and Wei Yang have always had a good relationship as father and daughter, so Ning Miao is very concerned about the divorce.

However, being looked at by his daughter with such strange eyes, Wei Shengmou actually felt a little nervous and smiled stiffly: "Yangyang, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wei Yang had tears in his eyes, but he didn't cry: "Why do I feel like you all cried? And mom hasn't been home for a few days. Did you have a fight?"

"Yes, they had a quarrel." Wei Shengmou didn't have time to think about his daughter's strange behavior, and said quickly: "It's just some minor quarrels. You just need to study hard at this stage. You don't need to worry about these things. Dad will take you back to school later."

Wei Yang did not answer, and looked at Ning Miao again: "Mom, is that so?"

Ning Miao quickly smiled and nodded: "Yes, there is nothing wrong between me and your father. Don't think too much and delay your studies."

Wei Yang's tears fell, and he cried, "You taught me since I was a child that lying is not good."

As she spoke, she suddenly shouted, "Then why do you still lie?"

Ning Miao: "Yangyang you..."

"I know everything. I know everything!" Wei Yang shouted, "Do you really think I'm a child? Do you think I can't tell?"

She looked at Wei Shengmou with a complicated expression: "Dad, we used to live such a good life, are we not doing well as before? Why do you want to gamble? You told me not to touch these things, why did you touch them yourself?"

Wei Shengmou also cried, but this time he cried a lot. He trembled as he said, "Dad... Dad also wants to give you a better life, Yangyang."

"What do you mean by giving me a better life? You are obviously doing this for yourself." Wei Yang grabbed Wei Shengmou tightly and shook him: "Your original life was so good, but now it's all gone, give it back to me, give it back to me...!"

Ning Miao cried and hugged her daughter, patting her on the back: "Miao Miao, don't be like this..."

"I, I will change from now on." Wei Shengmou said quickly: "We will still be the same as before. If you like the past, we will be the same as before."

"It's impossible. We can't go back." Wei Yang looked at Wei Shengmou with red eyes. "Even I know that a broken mirror can't be mended. Don't you know that? Why did you ruin your mother's first half of her life because of your own fault? And will you ruin her second half of her life too?"

"Mom, I know you didn't divorce Dad because of me." Wei Yang said, "I know you want to do good for me, but do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life? If you want me to watch you two being at odds with each other all day long, you might as well get a divorce."

"Yangyang!" Wei Shengmou looked at Wei Yang in disbelief.

Wei Yang was very clear-headed: "You are my father, I can't change that, but my mother is different, she doesn't need to be dragged down by you."

Looking at his daughter's cold and complicated eyes at this moment, Wei Shengmou felt as if his head was stabbed. All he could think about was Wei Yang's words just now: "You destroyed the life I wanted with your own hands."

He suddenly covered his head and burst into tears. He was too ashamed to beg Ning Miao not to divorce him.

At this point, Wei Shengmou finally admitted that he gambled not for anyone else but for himself and for his face.

Every time people say that Ning Min, the sister, married better than Ning Miao, and he was treated like a waste by Chu Zhen, Wei Shengmou wanted to prove himself so much, he wanted to prove that he was better than Chu Zhen.

When he first started gambling, he just wanted to give it a try. At the time, he felt he was still very sober and knew what he was doing. He thought he would play for a few times and then stop. However, as he won more and more times, he got addicted and thought he was lucky and would definitely win.

Later, he had forgotten what he was going to do and just threw his money in. When he came to his senses, he found that he had already lost everything.

He chose to hide the truth from his wife and daughter, saying that he had lost money in business. However, the couple had been living together, so it was not easy to hide the truth, and he was eventually discovered.

His wife, who used to love him, quarreled with him many times, but he still thought that it was just bad luck and that he could still win back as long as he was given enough money.

He promised that he would never gamble again, but every day he was thinking about how to make money.

However, now that his daughter was looking at him with such strange eyes, he suddenly came to his senses. He felt a chill on his back and felt that his former self had gone insane. He was even ready to... He was simply not a human being!

Wei Shengmou slapped his head in pain. Chu Rongshi watched coldly from the side and signaled with his eyes that Ning Min should take Wei Yang away first.

After Wei Yang left, Chu Rongshi said coldly, "You still haven't confessed something. Do you want to give you a chance?"

Wei Shengmou stopped crying and looked at Chu Rong. The look in his nephew's eyes made him feel inexplicably cold.

He lowered his head again and said nothing.

Ning Miao was a little confused: "Rong Shi, did you misunderstand?"

Chu Rongshi didn't seem surprised by Wei Shengmou's reaction: "Recently, besides coming to ask Aunt to go back with you, you have been busy asking about some huge insurance compensation issues. You don't have much money left, but you are ready to buy an insurance policy for Aunt."

"Why? Is it because you love her very much?"

A few words instantly popped up in Ning Miao's mind: "killing wife and lying about guarantee." She looked at Wei Shengmou in disbelief, her eyes fixed on him, wanting to say something but holding back.

Qi Nian reminded: "Yangyang has already walked far away. She is in the backyard and can't hear us even if we shout."

As soon as the words fell, Ning Miao couldn't control herself: "Wei Shengmou, are you still human?!"

She thought that gambling was the bottom line of Wei Shengmou's character, but she found out that she was wrong. How could a gambler have a bottom line?

"Are you crazy? Wei Shengmou, are you crazy?!" Ning Miao grabbed the other person's collar and shook him madly: "Have you ever thought about Yangyang? Do you want her to have a murderer father and leave her without a mother? Have you ever thought about what she would do without a father and a mother?"

"I... I don't know, I don't know." Wei Shengmou shook his head frantically: "I don't know what happened to me at that time. I, I just wanted to get the money."

As he was talking, he even yelled at Chu Rongshi: "Why, your family is so rich, why don't you help me? You don't even treat me as a human being!"

Before Chu Rongshi could say anything, Qi Nian immediately ran to him and looked at Wei Shengmou as if he was protecting him. The boy, who was usually nervous when speaking, shouted fearlessly, "You're still talking about my brother. The fact that you can say such things shows that you are not worthy of being a human being at all!"

Qi Nian was not very good at swearing, and in a fit of rage, he said what he thought was the most powerful curse.

"You..." Wei Shengmou almost laughed. Who the hell is Qi Nian? Does he really think he is a member of the Chu family?

However, before he could say anything, Chu Rongshi looked at him coldly, and his mind went blank immediately, and he forgot what he was going to say.

Then, he was kicked and beaten by Ning Miao, and he did not dare to fight back. After all, Chu Rongshi and Qi Nian were watching him closely.

He could only let Ning Miao vent her anger. Ning Miao wiped away her tears and said, "Let's get a divorce tomorrow!"

Qi Nian glanced at the time and said quickly, "It's not too late today. The Civil Affairs Bureau hasn't closed yet."

Ning Miao gritted her teeth. She no longer had any scruples and said bluntly, "Then get a divorce now!"

Then, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register for divorce.

Ning Miao walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with the divorce certificate in hand. She felt relieved but also a little confused.

Qi Nian glanced at Chu Rongshi and sighed. He no longer expected his brother to comfort anyone, so he had to do it himself.

Qi Nian was now quite skilled at comforting people, and she quickly grasped the key point: "Aunt, you should have a good rest these few days. You can't let your body collapse. After all, you still have Yangyang."

"Yes, I also have Yangyang." Ning Miao's eyes finally lit up when she mentioned her daughter.

Qi Nian let out a breath when he saw this, and squeezed his eyes at Chu Rongshi: Hey, am I awesome?

Chu Rongshi smiled slightly and couldn't help but raise his hand and gently rub Qi Nian's little curly hair.

Qi Nian blinked and thought in confusion: Could it be that rubbing hair is contagious?

Oh, never mind, his brother's movements are so gentle, just let it go, Qi Nian thought generously.

Ning Miao's problem was solved, and Ning Min, who was the most worried, finally felt better. She sighed, "It's just that Yangyang is suffering."

Qi Nian pointed out the culprit: "It's all Wei Shengmou's fault!"

Ning Min clapped her hands: "Yes, it's all his fault!"

After she finished speaking, she told Chu Rongshi with some concern: "Rongshi, remember to send someone to secretly watch Wei Shengmou's guy. Don't let him get involved with your aunt and Yangyang."

Qi Nian ate the Sunshine Rose with his cheeks puffed up, and nodded in agreement.

Chu Rongshi glanced at Qi Nian's bulging cheeks and said, "Well, don't worry."

Ning Min: "I am most confident in your work."

"By the way, I have to go and deal with your dad." Ning Min said suddenly.

Qi Nian: “?” My uncle is so innocent.

"Something happened at home, and he became busy, but he couldn't help at all!" Ning Min was obviously still a little unhappy, but she didn't know who to look for.

Qi Nian glanced at his brother who seemed like he didn't hear anything and kept silent. It would be better for him to protect himself at this moment.

Light a candle for his uncle in his heart.

——

Liu Yu has changed her hairstyle to wooly curls after not seeing her for a few days. She said that she got inspiration from Qi Nian. Didn't you see how much hair volume Qi Nian's curls make? It's really good news for bald girls!

Qi Nian said, I have a lot of hair, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s curly or not, okay?

But then again, wool curls do make hair look thicker. Liu Yu's hair looks a lot thicker.

"That's why you came to me to talk about this?" Qi Nian stuffed the Sunshine Rose into his mouth. The sweet grapes also had the taste of roses. It was so delicious.

The main thing is that I don’t know why, but his brother asked someone to buy a lot of Sunshine Roses for the family, and we can’t finish them all. Qi Nian has been eating them a lot these days.

He brought a large box of washed Sunshine Roses and pushed the box towards Liu Yu so that she could have some too.

Liu Yu ate a grape and shook her head: "No, I'm looking for you about the freshman party. There's a freshman party tomorrow night. Do you want to go?"

"The semester is almost halfway over, and we're holding a freshman party now?" Qi Nian expressed confusion.

"Oh, this is a private party held by students, so there are not many details." Liu Yu explained: "Because it is a party held by freshmen themselves, it is called a freshman party, but not only freshmen can participate, but also people from other grades. And I heard that a rich second-generation paid for all the expenses of the party. Wow, he is really rich."

Liu Yu, a rich second-generation, also felt emotional.

Qi Nian was not very interested and shook his head: "I'm not going."

Liu Yu wailed: "No, I'm embarrassed to go alone. I heard there are so many handsome guys in the freshman year. It will be a pity to miss them." Obviously, this was Liu Yu's real purpose of going to the party.

When she talked about handsome guys, her eyes looked different and they sparkled.

Qi Nian ate a grape: "..."

"Are you going or not?" Liu Yuxuan tried her best to persuade him: "By the way, my dad has finally finished his work recently and started pursuing my mom. Do you want to hear what I have to share with you?"

It seems that Liu Yu is determined to do whatever it takes, even to sell out his own father.

Qi Nian silently stretched out his claws: "I want..."

"Hehe," Liu Yu laughed mischievously, "Come over tomorrow night and I'll tell you."

Everyone thought: "..."

Am I such a gossipy person?

The next night, Qi Nian glanced at Liu Yu who was having a great time chatting with a handsome guy, and quietly found a corner to sit down.

So, why did the other party ask me to come over?

Fortunately, Liu Yu did not forget his good friend. He came over after a while, rolled his eyes, and sat next to Qi Nian: "Tsk tsk, you lowly man!"

Qi Nian was curious: "Are you talking about the boy just now?"

"Yeah, he kept telling me how bad his ex-girlfriend was, trash." Liu Yu complained.

Qi Nian: "But I see you are having a good time chatting with him."

Liu Yu had a good reason: "My smile was forced, it didn't contain a single bit of sincerity."

Everyone thought: “…” Okay.

He glanced at Liu Yu, who was lucky to keep his word, and started to share with Qi Nian: "Haha, my dad is so unfashionable. He bought a bunch of red roses and went to my mom's place to find her. He also said a bunch of unfashionable love words that he learned from somewhere. It made me laugh to death, haha!"

Qi Nian was puzzled: "How did you know?"

"My mother told me so." Liu Yu smiled and said, "But she threw me and the flowers out together."

"Ah..." Qi Nian opened his mouth wide: "She doesn't plan to get back together?"

"That's not the case. The main reason is that my mother suffered a lot of grievances at the beginning. How could it be so easy for her to forgive my father? Well, my father still has a long way to go." Liu Yu not only did not sympathize, he even laughed.

However, the two have not remarried for so many years, and it is obvious that they still cannot forget each other. It is only a matter of time before they get back together, so Liu Yu is not worried.

Oh, parents have their own blessings.

But this matter is clearer to the bystanders, her father himself is very anxious, and it is quite pitiful. Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt that she should not laugh, at least not so loudly. Haha.

The two were whispering here when they heard a sudden noise not far away. The two gossip lovers immediately looked over and found a girl in a little dress being surrounded by people.

"What's going on? I'll go find out." Liu Yu immediately stood up and ran over.

After a while, she came back and told Qi Nian what she had heard: "That's the second-generation rich girl who organized this party. Wow, she's so rich. I heard her father is the boss of some company, but I don't know the details. She has never revealed it. She's so mysterious."

Qi Nian looked at Liu Yu with admiration: "You have found out so much in such a short time, it's amazing."

"It's okay, hahaha." It's not that she is amazing, it's mainly because that rich second generation is too high-profile. On the one hand, she shows off her wealth, but on the other hand, she doesn't reveal who her father is. It feels quite contradictory.

As he was talking, the rich second generation came over here. Qi Nian took a good look at the people around him and found that one girl stood out. It was not because she was pretty, but because she didn't fit in with the people around the rich second generation.

The second-generation rich man was wearing a haute couture dress, and so were the people around her. Only the girl was wearing ordinary clothes, which made her look even duller. However, the second-generation rich man introduced the girl very solemnly, saying that she was her best friend.

Qi Nian looked at her again and again, and always felt that this girl looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
