Su Qiao looks a lot like you
Chen Nanxing knew the answer without having to listen to Su Qiao's words. Just looking at Su Qiao's expression, her fingers turned white as she gripped the thermos cup. She couldn't understand why it was Su Qiao and Lin Shanglu who made the mistake, but she was the one who was suffering!
Lin Shanglu loves to play and likes to indulge in the games of sensual pleasures in the world of flowers and willows. She wants to divorce him now to give him freedom, but he holds her tightly and refuses to divorce.
Su Qiao loves money and cannot give up the property and resources that Lin Shanglu brought her. When she was pregnant and wanted a complete family, she did not make trouble with Lin Shanglu, but went to Licheng with great difficulty to put her on the moral high ground.
They were both birds of a feather, rotten together, why did he have to drag her down with him?
The anger that had been accumulating in his heart suddenly overflowed, and Chen Nanxing no longer cared about Su Qiao's face:
"Ms. Su, it's not me who refuses to divorce, and it's not me who won't give my child a complete family."
She hit the nail on the head:
"You're using my high moral standards to kidnap me, portraying yourself as a perfect victim, but you all know deep down that this situation was caused by Lin Shanglu, who cheated on you, and you, who was willing to be his mistress even though you knew he had a family!"
"No, Miss Chen!"
Su Qiao's voice suddenly rose and she bit her lip hurriedly, but it seemed a little too late. Her voice was a little sharp under her excitement, which attracted Ji Chuan's attention and made him look over here frequently. Su Qiao was very careful about her reputation and immediately sat on the bench and lowered her voice:
"Shanglu and I are in true love. We love each other deeply, and it is because of love that we decided to have a child."
True love? Chen Nanxing tucked her long, straight hair, which had been blown by the wind, behind her ears. Her numb eyes and eyebrows contained a lingering sadness:
"Lin Shanglu cheated on me multiple times during our marriage. Although he set a rule for his lovers that they couldn't appear in my presence, there were always a few who were a little bolder. Like you, they sang the praises of true love above all else, and those who weren't loved were mistresses."
Chen Nanxing had heard this kind of talk countless times, so familiar with it that she could recite it by heart. She quickly closed the lid of her thermos cup, stood up, and looked down at Su Qiao:
"But no matter how you try to argue, or how you sing the praises of true love, I'm the one who appears on the same marriage certificate with Lin Shanglu. As long as I'm here, you're the mistress."
Whether from a legal or moral perspective, what Chen Nanxing said was true and she was in the right. Su Qiao was speechless and didn't even dare to look up at Chen Nanxing.
"Su Qiao."
Su Qiao only raised her head after Chen Nanxing called her.
"Um?"
"Let him sign the divorce agreement with me. Only when he divorces me can you be happy."
Chen Nanxing put the thermos into her bag. She seemed a little tired, and there was a hint of fatigue in her voice.
“…”
If Lin Shanglu listened to her and agreed to divorce, why would she risk angering Lin Shanglu and fly all the way from City B to Licheng? Su Qiao was helpless.
Chen Nanxing raised his wrist to check the time. The second hand had just reached twelve. The agreed time for the conversation had arrived. Chen Nanxing lowered his hand and hid his watch under his clothes.
"Ten minutes are up. Sorry, I have to go now."
"Okay?"
Seeing Chen Nanxing's figure growing bigger, Ji Chuan got off the electric car to greet Chen Nanxing. He reached out to hold Chen Nanxing's bag, but was rejected by Chen Nanxing calmly.
Although Ji Chuan felt a little frustrated, he was generally in a good mood. He kept talking to Chen Nanxing about his discovery:
"Nanxing, have you noticed that Su Qiao and you look alike? If you both stood with your backs to me, I wouldn't be able to tell who was who. Oh, no, I can definitely recognize you!"
Are they similar? Of course they are.
In fact, all the lovers Lin Shanglu had ever found were similar to her, whether in their eyebrows or temperament, there were always some similarities. Su Qiao was even more so, from face shape to facial features to temperament, they were nearly 80% similar to her.
Chen Nanxing touched his face, not wanting to discuss this topic:
"Maybe it's because they're about the same height and have similar hairstyles, so it just looks like that to me."
"Really?"
Ji Chuan searched for photos of Zhang Suqiao and compared them with Chen Nanxing. After looking at them for a while, he felt that they were not that similar: "After a closer look, they are indeed not very similar."
“…”
Their backs gradually faded away until they could no longer be seen. Only then did Su Qiao stand up from the bench, his angry eyes filled with resentment.
Unexpectedly, Chen Nanxing is better at acting than her. Isn't he soft-hearted and easy to talk to? How can this behavior, which is almost like pointing at her nose and calling her a mistress, be considered soft-hearted and easy to talk to?
Su Qiao held the phone tightly, because if she didn't hold it tightly, the phone would become a pile of debris on the ground in the next second. She put her hand on her belly and tried to comfort herself:
It doesn’t matter. If Chen Nanxing’s plan doesn’t work here, she still has a backup plan!
After repeating it silently several times, Su Qiao finally calmed herself down halfway. She walked to the roadside and stopped a car to go to the airport. She had come here without telling Lin Shanglu, so she had to arrive in City B before Lin Shanglu returned.
The illness had already reduced Chen Nanxing's energy, and dealing with Su Qiao consumed a lot of Chen Nanxing's energy. So after having lunch with Lin Shanglu that day and returning to the B&B, Chen Nanxing didn't want to go out for several days. He just wanted to stay quietly in the B&B and think about the meaning of the rest of his life to comfort his soul.
But even such a small wish could not be fulfilled. Lin Shanglu's 99+ messages and 99+ phone calls every day made her miserable. Finally, she simply turned off her cell phone, and the day when she would meet Lin Shanglu to go see the stray kittens was postponed day by day.
After the Lantern Festival, after a long period of peace and quiet, Chen Nanxing finally felt better and the appointment to visit and rescue stray cats at the pet hospital was put on the agenda.
On the day they planned to go to the pet hospital, Ji Chuan drove to pick up Chen Nanxing and ran into Chen Nanxing reading a picture book to Jiang Shiyu. When Jiang Shiyu found out, he rushed to go see the stray cat that Chen Nanxing had rescued.
According to Chen Nanxing's original life trajectory, this incident could have been avoided, because Qin Enyu often slept until after noon before leaving the room. As her daughter, Jiang Shiyu naturally traveled with Qin Enyu.
But the environment affects people. After resting for so long, Chen Nanxing's daily routine has become infinitely close to Qin Enyu's.
Of course, there was another reason. Chen Nanxing had stomach pain more frequently at night. The pain was so severe that he couldn't sleep at all. He could only fall into a light sleep when it was almost dawn.
At first, Jiang Shiyu's request was rejected by Qin Enyu, because Chu Zhenghe happened to come to Licheng from Country M today. Qin Enyu originally planned to take Jiang Shiyu to the airport to pick up Chu Zhenghe.
However, Jiang Shiyu was a child with a strong sense of self-awareness, and she would rather go with them to see the cats. Qin Enyu had no choice but to ask Chen Nanxing and Ji Chuan to look after the child temporarily, while she drove to the airport alone to pick up Chu Zhenghe and take him home.
Jiang Shiyu wouldn't make a fuss, and both Chen Nanxing and Ji Chuan liked her, so all three parties accepted this arrangement well. Of course, Jiang Shiyu was the happiest one. As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she ran to see the cats, holding one in each hand.
The kitten recovered well after the operation. Although it is still skinny, its mental state is much better than the day it was rescued.
When it saw that it was Chen Nanxing coming, it meowed and dragged its still immobile hind legs to rub Jiang Shiyu's little hand against the glass. It could be said that it was like two different cats.
The doctor in charge of treating it was very satisfied with this. The cat had multiple injuries before it was brought in and its life was hanging by a thread. Its body could not withstand all the operations at once. Their hospital could only save the cat's life first and then continue to treat it slowly.
When he was brought here, Chen Nanxing and Ji Chuan said they would do their best to treat him and money was not a problem.
Now that Chen Nanxing and Ji Chuan are here, the doctor can take this opportunity to discuss the follow-up treatment plan with them.
So, Chen Nanxing followed the doctor into the clinic holding the cat, while Ji Chuan and Jiang Shiyu sat outside waiting for Chen Nanxing to come out.
"Brother Chuanchuan, the kitten is so pitiful, can I keep it?"
Jiang Shiyu held the disposable cup in both hands and took a sip of water. Her legs, which were not high enough to reach the height of the stool, dangled and swayed, causing her knee-length skirt to be pushed up. Ji Chuan reached out and pulled the skirt down, and even smoothed out the pleats as if he was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"What if Yi Yi wants to raise a kitten but her mother doesn't agree?"
The hardest part about raising a pet is the parents. Ji Chuan got bored waiting outside, so he came to play with the child with bad intentions. Jiang Shiyu's family ranked second, and Chu Zhenghe, who ranked third, lifted him up with all his strength:
"Uncle Chu said I could have whatever I wanted, but my mother disagreed, so I asked Uncle Chu to buy a house and raise me secretly."
“…” He is indeed rich.
Your childhood and my childhood seemed different. Ji Chuan raised his head and took a big sip of water. He stopped talking about the topic that had hit him so hard and found another topic that would not easily hurt him.
"Do you like that kitten, Yi Yi?"
Jiang Shiyu pouted and shook his head: "I don't like it. It's not pretty at all."
Ji Chuan smiled with his big white teeth and touched the back of Jiang Shiyu's round head: "If you don't like it, why do you still want to keep it?"
Jiang Shiyu raised his face, his eyes twinkling, and said innocently, "Because it's so pitiful."
Very good, looks-obsessed but with love.
Ji Chuan pinched Jiang Shiyu's fair face, took the empty disposable paper cup from her hand and filled it with a large glass of water for himself and a quarter cup of warm water for Jiang Shiyu.
The food Ji Chuan ate at home at noon today was a bit salty, and in a short period of time, Ji Chuan had already gulped down several glasses of water.
Drinking more water will dilute the salty taste in your mouth, and the desire to go to the toilet will also increase.
Chen Nanxing was still in the clinic listening to the doctor's diagnosis, so Ji Chuan could only take Jiang Shiyu to the bathroom door:
"Brother Chuanchuan wants to go to the bathroom. Yiyi, please wait for Brother Chuanchuan for a moment, please ...
"good."
The three-year-old child's gender awareness is already very obvious, and Jiang Shiyu obediently stood against the wall.
The pet hospital was crowded with people, but Ji Chuan was still worried. He held back his urge to urinate and reached out to Jiang Shiyu to make a child-like oath seal:
"Hook!"
Jiang Shiyu cooperated by extending his hand. After completing a whole set of movements, Ji Chuan walked into the bathroom, looking back every few steps.
The more people fear something, the more likely it is to happen. This philosophy of life is applicable right now.
After Ji Chuan came out of the bathroom, he looked at the place where Jiang Shiyu was standing in surprise. Where was Jiang Shiyu standing?
Jiang Shiyu is missing? !
