Chapter 173 Shen Yumo: My Wife
Meng Dezhi was very conflicted at this time.
He has always admired the young man Cheng Xuyuan.
At the beginning, I also thought that he and Fang Yuqing were a good match.
But, alas, this guy is married.
Although this marriage in name only was about to end, he was a remarried man after all.
He was somewhat reluctant to let his beloved niece marry such a divorced man.
But now, the two of them are already together! Finally, Meng Dezhi waved his hand and said, "You guys should solve your own problems. I don't care."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Meng Dezhi who was a little angry and said hurriedly: "Uncle Meng, you can't just ignore this matter!"
"You are the elder that Yuqing and I share. If I don't rely on you, who else can I rely on?"
Having said this, he looked at Mo Yunqi again and said, "Aunt Mo, you have to say something good for me too."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who seemed to be clinging to him, Meng Dezhi felt both angry and amused!
Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know about this."
"I'll think about it later."
"I wanted to keep you for dinner, but now, just go do whatever you need to do."
Looking at Meng Dezhi who looked impatient, Cheng Xuyuan did not insist. He knew very well that Meng Dezhi was in a bad mood.
Not using a big stick to drive him out was already very considerate of him.
If he still wants to stay for dinner, that would be a bit tactless! "Uncle Meng, I'm leaving first. I'll come back to see you later."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was leaving, Meng Dezhi scratched his head and said, "Do you think I am letting a wolf into the house?"
Mo Yunqi smiled and said, "At the beginning, didn't you also want to bring him and Yuqing together?"
"Xuyuan is a very good kid."
"Humph, this kid was just pretending to be stupid before, saying that he would focus on studying, but it hasn't been long and his true colors are exposed!"
Meng Dezhi said bitterly: "If it weren't for Yuqing, I wouldn't care about this matter!"
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Shen Yumo has adapted to her work at Yanjing Literature and Art, and as the weather gets warmer, she takes off her coat and puts on a sweater, exuding more youthful vitality.
"Yu Mo, you are getting more and more beautiful!" Zhang Dening smiled and said with emotion while writing something on the paper: "Many of the young people in our literary association are thinking about you!"
"These days, anyone who invites me out for dinner needs to line up to make an appointment! Haha!"
"At first, I was very happy when I went there, but they kept asking me about my situation in a roundabout way."
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "Then you won't tell them that I'm already married!"
"Everyone believed you when you got married at first."
"But, such a long time has passed, and I have never seen your husband."
"Plus, you've always lived at home, so they all think that even if you were married, you should have separated."
"Nowadays, many people who return to the city get divorced after returning."
Zhang Dening asked: "If you really haven't divorced, when will you let me meet your girlfriend?"
Shen Yumo smiled but said nothing.
She doesn't want to think about finding a partner for the time being.
She wanted to do her job well first and worry about other things later.
She didn't think much about how to deal with Cheng Xuyuan. She just planned to wait until Cheng Xuyuan's influence and popularity declined, and then let the divorce take its course.
Before Zhang Dening could speak, Shen Yumo said, "Dening, this issue of our magazine has been printed. I saw the sample at Teacher Zou's place. It's pretty good."
"I saw it too." Zhang Dening said, "Old Zhao and the others did the same. They didn't even bother to bring a few more copies of their own magazines."
"Now, Lao Zhao and the others are guessing the sales of this issue!"
"I think it can break through 600,000, but Lao Zhao estimates it will break through 700,000!"
"But I estimate that after this issue is published, Xu Lingyun will be scolded even more severely..."
Just as Zhang Dening was talking incessantly, Zou Yanlai walked in.
Zhang Dening quickly shut her mouth, and Zou Yanlai just glared at her and said to Shen Yumo, "Yumo, Sister Chen just called and asked you to go to her office."
Sister Chen is not an editor of Yenching Literature and Art, but an older sister of the Writers Association, who is responsible for some internal management affairs of the Writers Association.
He is kind and respectable.
"I'll be there right away." Although he didn't know what this Sister Chen wanted to see him for, Shen Yumo still quickly agreed.
Zou Yanlai nodded, turned and left.
As soon as Zou Yanlai disappeared, Zhang Dening suddenly became active.
"Yu Mo, what do you think Aunt Chen wants to talk to you about? She's not going to introduce you to someone, is she?"
"Among the ten young couples in our literary association, six or seven were introduced by her."
"When I first started working, she even dragged me to her office!"
After hearing what Zhang Dening said, Shen Yumo didn't want to go anymore.
However, Sister Chen is his immediate superior after all, and it was Zou Yan who asked him to come and call him, so he had no choice but to go.
Shen Yumo said: "It's okay, if that's what she means, then I'll say I'm married."
Soon, Shen Yumo arrived at the office on the second floor. When he knocked on the door, he saw Sister Chen, whose hair was a little gray, writing something.
Shen Yumo greeted her, and Sister Chen said enthusiastically, "Xiao Shen, come in and sit down."
"Haha, I've been wanting to talk to you for a long time, but I never found the time."
"Come, drink some water."
As they were talking, Sister Chen used the bone china cup on her desk to pour a glass of water for Shen Yumo.
Shen Yumo took the water and said with a smile, "Thank you, big sister."
Sister Chen asked about Shen Yumo's work, then smiled and said, "Well, your father and I were colleagues, and I watched you grow up."
"In the blink of an eye, you have grown so big."
Shen Yumo didn't know how to respond. She was not a good speaker, so at this moment, she just kept smiling.
However, she was secretly complaining in her heart.
It seems that Zhang Dening really guessed it right this time. This time, Sister Chen probably wants to introduce someone to him.
Although she was a little reluctant, she had no choice but to listen.
But she made up her mind to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
No matter who Sister Chen introduced her to, she insisted that she was already married.
"Yumo!"
"After seeing your situation today, I couldn't help but want to call you over and give you some advice."
"In your case, there is no right or wrong. We should all move on, what do you think?"
Shen Yumo became more and more certain of what he was thinking. This elder sister Chen wanted to introduce someone to him, so he simply cheered up and said, "You're right. We should look forward."
"That's right." Sister Chen said, "You are working hard now, and your colleagues are praising you highly."
"And your husband is not only a well-known author, but also a student at Yenching University."
"It can be said that both of you have achieved success through your unremitting efforts."
Shen Yumo's eyes suddenly widened.
Your husband! Shen Yumo knew the meaning of these words very well.
But until now, few people have used this address to speak to Shen Yumo.
When she heard it today, she was surprised, but also suddenly realized that Sister Chen was talking about Cheng Xuyuan.
He is my husband!
It seems that there is nothing wrong with this name.
In a flash, Shen Yumo's eyes widened.
Sister Chen continued, "The fact that you two were able to get married back then is enough to prove that you two still had a foundation of love."
"And as far as I know, Cheng Xuyuan was very fond of you back then."
"The reason you got divorced was because... because of a misunderstanding."
Sister Chen's pause made Shen Yumo smile bitterly.
She knew that Sister Chen said this to save face for her family.
To be honest, why did she and Cheng Xuyuan divorce? Wasn't it because her family looked down on Cheng Xuyuan? Or, in other words, she didn't want to live with Cheng Xuyuan forever.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought Cheng Xuyuan to Yanjing while talking about divorce.
"I always think that misunderstandings can be resolved. It's not easy for the two of you to be together, so it's best for you to live a good life."
"Besides, you two are a perfect match, a couple that many people envy."
Listening to his elder sister's words, Shen Yumo didn't know what to say.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, Cheng Xuyuan and I have already discussed the divorce."
"And now, he himself thinks that the two of us should get divorced."
"I understand your good intentions, but it should be difficult for two people who decide to divorce to get back together."
"Thank you for your kindness, but let us handle this matter between the two of us."
Sister Chen was not angry at Shen Yumo's reaction, nor was she surprised.
She still smiled and said, "Yu Mo, I know how you feel."
“I feel like the damage has been done and it’s too late to reverse it now.”
"But, marriage is not a trivial matter. You should think about it carefully."
"Although we don't discriminate against divorced people, if you ask a person who has never been married to find a second marriage partner, I guess few people would be willing to do so."
When Sister Chen said this, her expression became more serious. "I am an experienced person. I have experienced a lot more than you young people."
"You are in very good condition. If you have never been married, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding a partner."
"But in the current situation, if you get divorced, it will be difficult for you to find a young person who is better than Cheng Xuyuan."
"So, listen to my elder sister's advice. I suggest you think about it carefully and don't rush into leaving."
"As for Cheng Xuyuan, I am also going to talk to him."
"Although he has not yet joined our Literary Association, he has published his works in our Yenching Literature and Art Journal, so we should also pay attention to his personal life."
At this point, Sister Chen said, "Yumo, I did this all for your own good."
"If you ask me, this marriage should never be divorced unless it is absolutely necessary."
Shen Yumo did not argue, but thanked Sister Chen and left.
But after walking out of Sister Chen's office, Shen Yumo's mind was full of thoughts. If Sister Chen talked to Cheng Xuyuan about this matter, what would Cheng Xuyuan's attitude be? Would he insist on divorce, or...
Thoughts surged in Shen Yumo's mind, making her vaguely look forward to the meeting between Sister Chen and Cheng Xuyuan.
