Chapter 118 Why not agree on a divorce first?
"Uncle Shen, I'm sorry, I'm late!" Cheng Xuyuan took a few quick steps, came to Shen Yunliang, and said sincerely.
Shen Yunliang looked up at Cheng Xuyuan, who was smiling, and waved his hand, saying, "Xiao Cheng, you are not late."
"But I came early."
Having said that, he glanced at the wine that Cheng Xuyuan brought and smiled gently.
Although he was not planning to drink in the middle of the day, the fact that Cheng Xuyuan could bring wine over at this time was in itself a kind of respect for him.
"Xiao Cheng, I have ordered the dishes. Let's chat for a while." Shen Yunliang said, pointing to the bench opposite him.
Cheng Xuyuan sat down opposite Shen Yunliang, glanced at the cup in front of Shen Yunliang, then picked it up and filled it with water.
"Xiao Cheng, I transferred you from the countryside. I never thought that you would achieve such great success."
"Your two skits have won unanimous praise from the audience."
"Even Mr. Wan has praised you on several occasions and said that you are a rising star."
"What I didn't expect was that you are Xu Lingyun, the Xu Lingyun who wrote "When Happiness Knocks on the Door"!"
Shen Yunliang said this, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, and sighed: "If I knew this, I wouldn't be so careless this time!"
Careless!
What are you being careless about?
Cheng Xuyuan was just about to speak when he saw the waiter coming over with two dishes, one was Mapo Tofu and the other was Spicy Stir-fried Lotus Cubes.
It is said that the specialty of this restaurant, Mapo Tofu, is characterized by its eight characteristics: spicy, hot, fragrant, crisp, tender, fresh and lively. This is called the Eight Characters Method. Cheng Xuyuan looked at the dish that had just been served. The tofu was soft, tender and smooth, and it smelled fragrant but not spicy. It made people's appetite whet at the sight of it.
As for the spicy fried lotus root cubes, although there is no meat in it, the lotus root cubes are cut into dice. Not only are they cut evenly, but each one is white, crispy, sour, spicy and crunchy, and looks very appetizing.
"Uncle Shen, let's have a couple of drinks." After Cheng Xuyuan put down the dishes, he smiled and said, "It would be a pity not to have a couple of sips of such delicious food."
Shen Yunliang usually doesn't drink at noon, but he can't care about that now.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, let's have two drinks!"
Cheng Xuyuan then went to the counter and asked for two porcelain cups, opened the Tongzhou Laojiao, and poured a cup for Shen Yunliang and himself respectively.
"Uncle Shen, I toast to you!"
Facing the cup raised by Cheng Xuyuan, Shen Yunliang also raised his cup and clinked it with Cheng Xuyuan, then took a sip.
The wine was very good, but when Shen Yunliang drank it, he felt it was a little bitter.
"Uncle Shen, I have caused you a lot of trouble since coming to Beijing." Cheng Xuyuan said sincerely after taking a bite of the dish.
Shen Yunliang said: "Xiao Cheng, when you first came to Beijing to work, I felt that I had put in a lot of effort."
"But now, I feel that this matter is actually not difficult for you."
“Whether it’s your current achievements or your admission to Yenching University and coming to Yenching, it’s all very simple.”
"You don't owe me anything."
Cheng Xuyuan said seriously: "Uncle Shen, no matter what, it was you who built this platform for me after all."
"You have put in a lot of effort for this, and I will keep it in mind."
"No matter where I go in the future, I must not forget Uncle Shen. As a man, you must not forget your roots!"
"Let's take my college education as an example. If I were admitted to college from my hometown, the monthly allowance would be only a dozen yuan at best."
"But now, I am studying with pay. I heard that the subsidy is not much less than that of working. You see, the treatment is very different!"
"Also, when I was in Chengjiazhuang Brigade, I agreed to Sister Yumo's conditions, but that was my own will. She doesn't owe me anything."
"Uncle Shen, you don't owe me anything! On the contrary, you helped me at the critical moment. This kindness is worth remembering for the rest of my life!"
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan raised his glass and said, "Uncle Shen, the past is the past. I need to be grateful, and there is no need to worry about other things!"
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan calmly, Shen Yunliang felt a little complicated: "Xiao Cheng, you are right, we don't need to dwell on the past, but now, if you want a divorce, it will be difficult to handle!"
At this point, Shen Yunliang sighed and said, "I originally thought that it would be very easy for you and Yu Mo to divorce."
"I can do it quietly for you."
"But now, I'm afraid it's no longer possible!"
Cheng Xuyuan picked up the cup and took a sip of water. In these days since he came to this era, he knew very well that in this era when you need food coupons to eat, meat coupons to buy meat, and even a letter of proof to stay in a guesthouse, divorce requires even more things.
Apart from anything else, letters of recommendation from both the man and the woman are essential.
Without this, they won’t register you at all.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't expect that the difficulty of divorce would eventually come upon him!
If I had known this, I wouldn't have performed so well! He pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Shen, this is all my fault. I wish I hadn't written this novel..."
"Xiao Cheng, gold shines everywhere, why blame you?" Shen Yunliang said: "Just as you said, neither you nor Yu Mo are wrong in this matter."
"Through these days of contact, I also feel that you are a good child. Is there really no possibility between you and Yu Mo?"
Hearing Shen Yunliang ask this, Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment.
He knew very well that letting Shen Yunliang raise this question proactively would actually be very hurtful to Shen Yunliang's face.
After all, from the moment they met, Shen Yumo's family only treated him as a relative.
Moreover, everything was said openly.
And now, this proactive inquiry is equivalent to treating him as a son-in-law who is a good match for Shen Yumo.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Shen, thank you for your recognition and respect for me."
"As for the relationship between Shen Yumo and I, I have thought a lot about it these days."
"When I first met her, I was attracted by her beauty and temperament."
"But I'm not the one that Shen Yumo's heart is moved by."
"During the time I lived in the village, I felt that she treated me as a friend at most."
"To be honest, when I heard that you had resumed work, I was very scared. I was afraid that Yu Mo would never come back after leaving with you."
Cheng Xuyuan spoke very sincerely, without a trace of falsehood, because these were the original owner's true thoughts.
This is also the original owner's inner feeling, so he can just take it out.
"Here, I also want to thank my uncle for transferring me to Yanjing through the relationship between Yu Mo and his relatives."
“When I first came to Beijing, I was very afraid of losing, so I worked very hard to enrich myself through learning.”
"But slowly, after careful consideration, I figured it out again!"
"Love that is too heavy is a burden to both me and Shen Yumo."
"Life is short. Instead of wasting time on each other, it is better to let go early and free each other."
Shen Yunliang waited for Cheng Xuyuan to finish speaking without saying a word. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt a little disappointed when he heard Cheng Xuyuan's answer.
However, what Cheng Xuyuan said is not without reason.
Life is short. Instead of torturing each other, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible and pursue our own lives.
This is a very sensible statement.
But the more rational it is, the more it means that Cheng Xuyuan has made up his mind on this matter.
There is no possibility for my beloved daughter and him to be together anymore!
Is this what it means to be destined to be together?
"Xiao Cheng, you can think positively, which is rare. Come, let's have a drink." Shen Yunliang said: "A happy life is not for others to see, but for yourself to feel."
Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yunliang clinked glasses and said nothing more.
"This morning, Peng Xueli came to my office and told me about your divorce with Yu Mo."
"It was at this time that I realized that you were Xu Lingyun, the author of The Pursuit of Happiness."
Shen Yunliang picked up a piece of lotus root and said, "If I had known earlier that you were Xu Lingyun, I would not have arranged your divorce this time."
"Because now, you have become a young writer who has attracted much attention from all walks of life."
"Moreover, the spirit of perseverance in the face of adversity and the pursuit of happiness and beauty expressed in The Pursuit of Happyness is even more valued. This is a powerful cultural force that inspires young people to be positive and progressive."
"At this critical juncture, if the news of your divorce spreads, it may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
After talking with Niu Changqing, Cheng Xuyuan also realized this.
He raised his glass and said, "Uncle, I didn't expect that a novel would have such a big impact."
"I……"
"Xiao Cheng, you can write such a work. As an elder, I am happy for you."
"At the same time, I also hope that you can continue to work hard and write more positive and good works in the future."
At this point, Shen Yunliang raised his glass and clinked it with Cheng Xuyuan's, saying, "But your divorce with Yu Mo cannot be completed for the time being."
"Not to mention that your employers won't issue you a letter of certification, I'm afraid you two won't be able to get a divorce certificate either."
Although Shen Yunliang did not use an affirmative tone, Cheng Xuyuan knew that what he said was actually a kind of affirmation.
If he couldn't get a divorce certificate, would his relationship with Shen Yumo have to drag on like this? Before coming here, Cheng Xuyuan had thought about this issue.
He groaned for a moment and said, "Uncle, I understand everything you said."
"But Yu Mo and I have made up our minds. I think it's okay. Although we can't get a divorce certificate right now, we can make a divorce agreement."
"When we made the agreement, we were divorced."
"When you can get the certificate, go get another one."
"In this way, Yu Mo won't have any psychological burden."
Sign a divorce agreement first! Shen Yunliang subconsciously glanced at Cheng Xuyuan and saw a calm young man.
At this moment, Cheng Xuyuan's attitude towards divorce was very clear.
It seemed to be true. Why couldn't Cheng Xuyuan resolutely divorce? His own daughter had no attachment to him at all, so why couldn't he allow her to find her own happiness?
It's a torture for both of them to be entangled with each other all the time.
Now that the conditions for obtaining a divorce certificate are not allowed, let's make an agreement first.
"Xiao Cheng, I'll talk to Yu Mo about your suggestion. If she has no objection, then we can make this agreement."
Shen Yunliang said: "You are all good children, but who can explain clearly about matters like feelings?"
"Come on, let's have another drink."
Facing the wine glass raised by Shen Yunliang, Cheng Xuyuan did not hesitate. He clinked it heavily and drank the wine in the glass.
The second update is here today, please support me! (End of this chapter)
