Xiang Pengfei heard someone say on the phone, "Brother Pengfei, it's me! Lin Dongzhe!"
"Oh, Dongcheol! What's wrong? Is there something you need?"
"Brother Pengfei, Xiaoting said she wants a divorce yesterday. You have to plead for her and help me!"
"I knew you would end up like this. Let me tell you, I can't help you. It's your own fault for being unrepentant and making the same mistakes again and again, breaking Xiaoting's heart. Now, I actually hope Xiaoting divorces you and finds a better place for herself!"
"I know I was wrong, Pengfei, please help me!"
"Let me tell you, Lin Dongzhe, instead of pleading with me here, you should move Xiaoting with your actions. My aunt is in the hospital and needs someone to take care of her. Brother Tu Nan is too busy at the newsstand. These are all opportunities for you to show your abilities!"
"But I... but I still have to take care of things at the supermarket!"
"You blockhead, is Xiaoting more important, or your supermarket?"
There was a moment of silence on the microphone; it seemed Lin Dongzhe was hesitating.
Xiang Pengfei was even angrier at this point, and he roared, "If you don't make a choice, then I'll hang up!"
"No, no, Pengfei, don't hang up. I promise I'll listen to you and go to the hospital right away. But when you see Xiaoting, please, please put in a good word for me, okay?"
"Alright, first correct your bad habits, then take good care of my aunt. I believe Xiaoting will forgive you without me having to plead for her!"
"Okay, thank you, Pengfei-ge, that's all!"
Xiang Pengfei quickly hung up the phone and said into it, "You scumbag, you deserve to get a divorce! All you do is indulge in pornographic videos. If I were Xiaoting, I would divorce you too!"
Seeing Xiang Pengfei's angry expression, Zhou Yuxiang said, "What's wrong? Why are you acting like this? You're acting like a shrew!"
"No, you don't know, Lin Dongzhe is such a scoundrel. He's cheated on me time and time again, and this time he angered Xiaoting so much that she wants a divorce. He deserves it, he deserves it!"
"Alright! Everyone wants their relatives to be well, unlike you, throwing a tantrum and begging for their souls back."
"No, he's just too infuriating!"
"It's an age-old principle to advise reconciliation rather than separation. Don't say anything that would damage your morals!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
"Just listen to me and live a good, happy life. Don't act like someone owes you two hundred coins all the time!"
"Um!"
"No one is perfect, right? Everyone changes sometimes. But Xiang Pengfei, don't let me find out you've done anything to wrong anyone, or you'll see what I do to you!"
"No, no, you're my wonderful wife, how could I dare?"
"By the way, tell the accountant that my uncle will send one to check the books, just in case there are any mistakes!"
"Don't worry about that. My uncle has been kind to me and has mentored me. If there's any fault, it's mine. I won't owe my uncle a single penny!"
"Fool, don't forget, we're married now, we're family now. Although my uncle isn't an outsider, there can't be any mistakes when it comes to money. If you don't earn money, how will you support me!"
"Yes, that's how it is!"
"Then you get ready! I'm going to greet our uncle's accountant!"
"Um!"
Furthermore, when business was slow at the newsstand, Zhuang Tunan would have Anna help him to strengthen his legs so that he could stand up sooner.
Feng Yaoyao, who was standing at the entrance of the breakfast shop greeting customers, would occasionally glance over here, her expression a mixture of joy and sorrow.
She was happy that Zhuang Tunan could stand up again, but worried that Anna was her rival in love. She wondered how she could turn the tables and help Zhuang Tunan instead of Anna.
Zhuang Tunan exercised for a few minutes before feeling like he couldn't keep going. Fortunately, Anna was there to take good care of him and help him with his every move, so Zhuang Tunan was very happy. After all, this was how the two of them exercised in the United States, and now that they were practicing again, it was a very pleasant thing for both Zhuang Tunan and Anna.
The weather in July is already very hot, and with Zhuang Tunan's training, not only was his forehead covered in sweat, but his back was also soaked with sweat.
Anna felt sorry for Zhuang Tunan when she saw the sweat on his body, so she said, "Tunan, take a break! Your legs can't take any more exercise!"
As soon as Zhuang Tunan sat in his wheelchair, he said to Anna, "Anna, I feel that this exercise was much stronger and easier than before, and I am more confident that I can stand up again!"
"Right! Don't worry, Tunan! I'll make you stand up again!"
At this moment, Lin Dongzhe drove up to the newsstand again. This time, he didn't greet his parents and went straight to Zhuang Tunan. When he got to Zhuang Tunan, he said, "Brother, I've come to help you!"
Zhuang Tunan naturally knew why he had come. Although he was very pleased that Lin Dongzhe would take the initiative, he still couldn't give him a friendly look, otherwise he would feel that he was too easily manipulated and wouldn't take this place seriously.
Zhuang Tunan pretended to have a dark expression and said, "I'm not busy, you can go back!"
"No, Brother Tunan, I didn't sleep well at all last night. I kept blaming myself for my mistakes, so I came to apologize to Xiaoting!"
Zhuang Tunan rolled his eyes at him and said, "You come here to apologize to Xiaoting, what are you talking to me about? If you're sincere, go apologize to Xiaoting in person!"
“I wanted to apologize to him in person, but Xiaoting is heavily pregnant! I’m afraid that if she sees me, she’ll get angry and it will upset the baby, which would be bad for her health, so I don’t dare! Brother, you have to know that Xiaoting and the baby are the most important people in my life. I can’t lose them, otherwise I’ll have no face to live in this world!”
Seeing Lin Dongzhe's tearful state, Zhuang Tunan's heart softened. However, he knew this was the most crucial moment to test Lin Dongzhe. If he softened, it would be unfair to Xiaoting and the child. He needed to make Lin Dongzhe deeply feel the pain of losing Xiaoting and the child so that he would never forget it and would never dare to act recklessly again. Therefore, Zhuang Tunan said, "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? You should know that Jiang Xiaoyue was sent by Zhennan to break up your family. How could you be so blinded by greed and unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
"Brother, I swear, I'll never have anything to do with Jiang Xiaoyue again. Really, brother, I'm begging you, please help me!"
Zhuang Tunan pointed towards the alley entrance and said, "What good are your swears? If you want Xiaoting to forgive you, you should go and tell her yourself!"
"I,,!"
At this moment, Lin Dongzhe hesitated. It was unclear whether he was genuinely afraid of upsetting Zhuang Xiaoting or simply hadn't figured out how to face her.
At this moment, Zhuang Xiaoting suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley. She had one hand on her hip and the other hand touching her large pregnant belly. Her face was full of worry, and she could not see a trace of happiness.
As soon as Anna saw Zhuang Xiaoting come out, she quickly walked over and helped her up, saying, "Sister-in-law, why did you come out? It would have been so much better if you had stayed at home."
Zhuang Xiaoting frowned and said, "It's so stuffy staying indoors all the time, so I came out for some fresh air. It's so uncomfortable carrying this big belly!"
Lin Dongzhe suddenly knelt down in front of Zhuang Xiaoting, slapping his face repeatedly as he said, "Xiaoting, please forgive me this time! I beg you!"
Zhuang Xiaoting glared at Lin Dongzhe and said, "Stand up! This crying and sobbing doesn't make you look like a man at all!"
Lin Dongzhe did not stand up, but continued, "Xiaoting, please forgive me this time! I know I was wrong, and I will definitely mend my ways, okay?"
"Stand up first. If the neighbors see you like this, they'll think I've done something to you."
"You didn't do anything to me. I did something wrong, and I deserve the punishment. I'm sorry, Xiaoting. Please forgive me."
At this moment, Song Ying came out of the breakfast shop and saw Lin Dongzhe crying his eyes out. She felt both heartbroken and distressed, but she also knew that if she spoke up for Lin Dongzhe now, it would seem like she was indulging him. So she was caught in a dilemma and dared not say anything.
