Chapter 137 is such a huge piece of gossip!
He Yuzhi nodded. "Yes, that's the explanation."
"Of your three children, Jinzhou is still unmarried!"
The old lady patted Zhizhi beside her again, "Zhizhi has been away from home for twenty years. When she came back, she didn't cost you a single penny. And her mother didn't even offer any thanks."
"Zhizhi is about to give birth, and you're going to be her grandparents. Don't you know what's going on? Aren't you going to contribute something?"
"If we don't offer something in return, Zhizhi might as well not care about her retirement in the future, right?"
"After all, Zhizhi had been living away from home since she was little. When she came back, she divorced you. You didn't get any benefits from her."
Upon hearing this, Zhizhi silently gave her grandmother a thumbs-up under the table.
Grandma was really helpful; she laid out the unpleasant things upfront, otherwise it would have been a real hassle to argue about them later.
Wen Changyu glanced at Zhizhi, looking somewhat embarrassed. "I'll talk to Shanshan about this later."
"What about Jinzhou?"
"Jinzhou, what do you say?"
"Jinzhou is already twenty-five, almost thirty, we can't just not make arrangements for him, can we?"
"Getting a wife costs money, what did she say?"
"They took all the money, leaving their child to remain a bachelor, or to rely entirely on themselves?"
“If we let the child rely entirely on herself, I don’t think she’ll have the right to ask Jinzhou for retirement in the future.”
This time, Wen Changyu remained silent.
He Yuzhi resented his lack of courage, saying, "You pity her, you've pityn her your whole life, but has she ever pityd you?"
"She's in her fifties or sixties. Even if she finds another partner, she can't have any more children. Guess who she'll rely on for her old age?"
"Don't tell me to rely on that ingrate. You know better than anyone whether he's reliable or not."
"Tell me then, can you just stand by and watch her suffer?"
"You'll still have to take care of her then, but what about the child?"
Can't you think straight?
"Aren't you usually so quick-witted when you're working? How come you get all confused when it comes to her?" He Yuzhi was furious.
"Don't blame me for being blunt, but if you give her all this money, she'll be swindled out of everything in less than three years."
After saying that, the old lady rolled her eyes at her son and said, "Just like you, not quite right in the head."
Wen Changyu "..."
He glanced at his son, daughter, and daughter-in-law at the dinner table. The expressions on the children's faces conveyed a similar meaning, and the commander fell silent again.
That evening, Zhou Lin called Zhizhi again, and Zhizhi whispered to Zhou Lin on the phone that Wen Changyu and Xu Shanshan were getting a divorce.
Zhou Lin was also surprised to hear this, "Divorce?"
“Yes,” Zhizhi recounted what Xu Shanshan had done.
He took 5,000 yuan and forced his daughter, who had just returned home, to leave, saying she should never come back to this house again...
Zhou Lin also fell silent.
He said, "Zhizhi, shall I come and pick you up?"
He was afraid that Zhizhi would be mistreated over there, and besides, he missed her very much.
Zhizhi shook her head. "I'm not going back. I haven't finished my work yet!"
After saying that, she whispered even more into the microphone, "Do you miss me?"
There was silence on the other end. Zhizhi didn't give up. "Honey, say something!"
"Husband," those two words made Zhou Lin on the other end of the phone flustered. He touched this and that, and finally seemed to realize that this was his office and there was no one else here. Then he hummed in response.
"Mua~, I miss you too. I think about you during the day and dream about you at night," Zhizhi teased him, but she never held back.
Zhou Lin gripped the microphone tightly. "I'll turn around and see you!"
"Mmm, I'll be waiting for you, honey, mua~mua~"
After the call ended, Zhou Lin sat in his office for a long time, while Wen Zhizhi happily ran upstairs as soon as she hung up.
Talking to her husband on the phone makes her feel relaxed and happy; she even has material for her dreams tonight.
Zhou Lin thought about it and told Wen Jinzhou about Wen Changyu and Xu Shanshan's divorce the next day.
Wen Jinzhou stood there stunned, not showing any sign of coming back to his senses for a long time.
Zhou Lin raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes. "Are you alright?"
Wen Jinzhou didn't answer him, but turned around and quickly went to call his older brother.
"Mom and Dad are getting a divorce?" Wen Jinzhou asked as soon as the call was connected.
"Yes," came the quick reply from the other end.
Then I told him why.
After hearing the reason, Wen Jinzhou was no longer so shocked, but he still said, "I'll buy a train ticket to go back today."
If none of the three children resemble Xu Shanshan, then at least one of them must resemble Wen Changyu.
Then the one who followed Wen Changyu the most was probably Wen Jinzhou.
If the original owner were still alive, she would probably have inherited Xu Shanshan's personality, being easily swayed by slander. She wouldn't listen to anything that was good to her, but would listen to everything that was bad.
Wen Jinzhou inherited Wen Changyu's gentle nature and had never experienced any hardships or setbacks since childhood. Therefore, he had no pursuit of money or power, but he had an extraordinary pursuit of intangible things like "love".
Whether it's romantic love or love within a family.
He's the kind of kid who lives in a villa, drives a luxury car, and has endless money in his bank account but isn't happy. He's the kind of kid who doesn't want those material conditions but hopes his parents will eat with him.
So his first reaction was to return to Beijing.
Wen Jinshu did not stop him upon hearing this, knowing that it would be useless to stop him, so she only told him to "be careful on the road".
Wen Jinzhou bought a train ticket for the same day and returned to Beijing.
Zhou Lin wanted to go with him, but he had a heavy workload, so he couldn't take leave every few days.
They could only watch enviously as Wen Jinzhou returned to Beijing.
——
When Xu Shanshan saw Wang Jinghui's day off, she immediately took him to see the shop.
Because the repair materials ran out that day, and Director Liu couldn't fix it for the time being, Zhizhi left the Cultural Relics Administration Department after finishing her work in two hours that morning.
Since it was still early, and because she hadn't yet had a chance to fully explore Beijing since arriving, she wasn't in a hurry to go back. Instead, she strolled around Beijing alone in late autumn, enjoying the city's autumn scenery.
She was just strolling around, but whether you call it good luck or bad luck, she actually ran into an acquaintance.
Someone I know very well.
She saw Xu Shanshan leading Wen Qianqian with a man. The three of them were in a storefront by the roadside, talking to an old man. They stood together in a line, looking like a family of three.
Wen Zhizhi: What a bombshell!
She patted her pockets, hating the era without cell phones.
It would be nice to have a camera, but she didn't have one.
Wen Zhizhi quickly crouched down and hid behind a telephone pole.
They kept watching until Xu Shanshan, Wang Jinghui, and Wen Qianqian came out of the storefront.
She saw the three people standing in front of the door, whispering to each other.
Then they left together.
Wen Zhizhi carefully memorized the location and then cautiously followed.
Wen Zhizhi followed them to the market and saw that Xu Shanshan bought a lot of vegetables, which the man carried. They also bought fruit, and then the "family of three" got on the bus.
On the bus, Xu Shanshan sat with the man in a double row, while Wen Qianqian sat alone in the back.
Wen Zhizhi: Good heavens, what a huge melon!
She truly has a white moonlight!
Look at that old man's smooth, delicate skin, and Wen Qianqian's small nose and eyes...
Isn't he exactly the same as that old man?
As soon as the bus left, Wen Zhizhi quickly ran across the road and got into a taxi heading towards the Wen family home.
