Chapter 196 Good things take time
Sister Chen was sitting in front of the office, with a copy of today's newspaper on the table!
But at this moment, her expression no longer had the smile that made people feel as warm as spring breeze in the past.
She looked at Shen Yumo who was sitting in front of her with a gloomy face, and countless thoughts surged rapidly in her mind.
This Shen Yumo is always causing trouble for himself! Divorce!
She filed for divorce at this time! All my previous efforts were in vain!
Although she was furious, she couldn't show it.
After all, this girl comes from a different family, so I have to give her some face.
So she smiled and said, "Yu Mo, I've already said it, it's best not to get a divorce."
"But the two of us can't live together anymore!" Shen Yumo said, "Besides, I think we should have freedom of marriage."
"We both agree to divorce, and we have even signed the divorce agreement."
"All you have to do is give me a letter of verification."
Looking at the girl with a pretty face but a determined expression, Sister Chen sighed.
What Shen Yumo said makes sense.
But this divorce is really not your own business.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip of water and said, "Take a look at this first."
As he spoke, he handed over the newspaper on his desk.
When Shen Yumo took the newspaper, the first thing that caught his eye was the news that the Yenching University Literary Society had been restored.
Shen Yumo felt a little excited when he saw the event he participated in was finally turned into lead type.
However, when she saw the following content, her expression became serious.
Cheng Xuyuan's speech.
Shen Yumo had a very high opinion of Cheng Xuyuan's speech this time.
But Shen Yumo obviously did not expect that Cheng Xuyuan's speech would be published in full in the daily newspaper.
Didn’t they say that it could only be published in People’s Literature?
What's going on?
Looking at those last words, she vaguely understood something.
"Yu Mo, Cheng Xuyuan's current condition is not suitable for divorce."
"I can't issue you a divorce certificate myself. Let me report to my superiors and you go back and wait."
Aunt Chen said lightly after seeing Shen Yumo finish reading the newspaper.
Shen Yumo nodded! She was not an unreasonable person, and she knew that if she continued, it would be unreasonable.
Aunt Chen made it clear that it was not that she didn't want to do it, but that she didn't have the right to do so.
So Shen Yumo could only say: "Sister Chen, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter."
"Please help me get a letter of introduction as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, we can only apply for divorce ourselves."
Aunt Chen looked at Shen Yumo's resolute attitude, sighed and said, "Yumo, Cheng Xuyuan is becoming more and more successful, and you two are such a good match."
"I also learned from the side that there is no irreconcilable conflict between you."
"Why can't we just live a good life together? What are you trying to do?"
Looking at Aunt Chen who looked like she was doing this for your own good, Shen Yumo smiled and said, "Aunt, the ancients said that reconciliation is a good thing."
"But I think that a broken mirror, no matter how well it is glued together, will still have cracks."
"Besides, we have all made up our minds not to bother each other anymore and just live our own lives."
"Besides, we are still young and will meet the person we like."
"So, you might as well give us a certificate first and let us let each other go."
Aunt Chen didn't quite understand what Shen Yumo said.
She feels that marriage is about living together, and as long as two people are a good match, they should just get on with it.
Now Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yumo are a perfect match not only in work but also in life. How can they get a divorce?"
"Wait a moment, I'll ask you."
Shen Yumo returned to the office with a hint of disappointment and met Zhang Dening's inquiring gaze.
She had already told Zhang Dening everything, so she had nothing to hide. She just shook her head and said, "Mrs. Chen won't open it."
"Why?" Zhang Dening asked, "Does Aunt Chen still want you to stay together?"
Shen Yumo said: "What use does she want?"
Zhang Dening said, "Cheng Xuyuan called just now. Why don't you call him back first?"
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone. A few minutes later, the call was connected and Cheng Xuyuan's voice was heard.
"How's it going over there?"
Hearing this, Shen Yumo felt angry for some reason.
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's tone when asking this question, it seems that he wants the two of them to divorce as soon as possible, for fear that she will pester him! She teased unhappily: "What else can I do? It's all thanks to you that your speech has been published in the daily newspaper. Aunt Chen said she can't make the decision!"
"And you?"
Hearing Shen Yumo's complaining words, Cheng Xuyuan said in a deep voice: "I also want to report, please wait a moment."
"So what should we do next?" Shen Yumo asked.
Cheng Xuyuan was also very helpless at this time. If it were in his previous life, there would be many ways to deal with it.
For example, separation, cooling-off period, etc.
But now, nothing works without a letter of introduction.
After a moment's hesitation, he could only say, "Let's take a look first."
Shen Yumo agreed and hung up the phone.
The moment he turned his head, Shen Yumo felt that many people were looking at him.
But when she looked over, these people looked away.
The work day was uneventful, as if nothing was different from the past.
But Shen Yumo still felt that the way everyone looked at him was a little different.
But no one said anything, so even if Shen Yumo felt something strange in his heart, he could only keep it to himself.
After get off work, Shen Yumo returned home and saw his mother cooking, while his father, who usually got off work much later than him, was reading a newspaper in the living room.
"Dad, why are you getting off work so early today?"
Shen Yunliang asked: "Yumo, are you talking about divorce again today?"
Shen Yumo said, "Dad, I went to Yanjing University to attend the literary club's revival meeting yesterday and met Cheng Xuyuan. He has a girlfriend in college."
"So he discussed with me and wanted to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible."
"I agree."
Li Xueling opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
Because she wanted to blame Cheng Xuyuan for finding a partner, but she found that she had no reasons to blame him.
Shen Yunliang said: "Yumo, let's put this matter on hold for now."
"Cheng Xuyuan is even less suitable for divorce now."
After hearing what Shen Yunliang said, before Shen Yumo could speak, Li Xueling could not help it.
She said anxiously: "Yunliang, you still need to talk more about the divorce with your superiors."
"If Cheng Xuyuan continues to push the issue in this unclear way, then the one who will suffer in the end will be our Yu Mo."
"He has already found a partner in a hurry, why won't he let me get a divorce?"
Shen Yunliang sighed and said, "Cheng Xuyuan is no longer an ordinary person."
"Not only has his novel attracted widespread response, but the restoration of the literary club has further elevated his reputation."
"Divorce at this time will have a bad impact."
"However, the higher-ups are also considering this matter. It seems that they are pushing for changes to the divorce regulations."
"It was said that once this matter is settled, the formalities for both of you can be completed."
"Now, we can only stop for a while."
Shen Yumo said: "Dad, did you tell me that we have signed the divorce agreement?"
Shen Yunliang spread his hands and said, "I said so, but they said that since we have already signed the agreement, we should just do our own thing."
"I'll complete the formalities later. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Hearing this, Shen Yumo was speechless.
But she also knew that this matter was just as her father had said, and there was no point in rushing it.
At Fang Yuqing's house, Meng Dezhi was drinking and talking with Fang Gengsheng.
The two of them drank a lot on weekdays, but only during festivals.
This was the first time Fang Gengsheng encountered a situation where Meng Dezhi came to his house suddenly.
"Brother, is there something wrong with you?" Fang Gengsheng asked, putting down the wine in the glass.
Meng Dezhi said: "I came here this time because I have something to do."
"It's about Yuqing."
Fang Gengsheng snorted and said, "Brother, speaking of this matter, I have something against you."
"If Yuqing hadn't been allowed to go to your place to play, she wouldn't have met Cheng Xuyuan."
"If they didn't know each other, how could something like this happen?"
Meng Dezhi said calmly: "Even if Yuqing didn't know Cheng Xuyuan from me, she would have known Cheng Xuyuan at school."
"So, don't harbor such luck, it doesn't exist at all."
Fang Gengsheng always had the final say at home, but when facing Meng Dezhi, he could only say, "Brother, what happened to Yuqing?"
Meng Dezhi said: "Cheng Xuyuan brought up the matter of a divorce letter of introduction again today."
Although Fang Gengsheng didn't want Cheng Xuyuan to become his son-in-law, he was even more unwilling to let his daughter be entangled with a man who was not yet divorced.
So he hesitated for a moment, and then expressed his opinion: "If two people can't live together anymore, they can get divorced."
Meng Dezhi said: "What you said makes sense."
"But Cheng Xuyuan is different. Didn't you read today's newspaper?"
Fang Gengsheng was stunned for a moment, and instantly thought of the report about Cheng Xuyuan he saw in the newspaper today.
Although he is no longer young, he still feels his blood boiling when he thinks of what Cheng Xuyuan said above.
"This kid isn't very good at anything else, but he's quite talkative."
Meng Dezhi snorted and said, "You only say this yourself, nothing else matters. Do you know how popular his novels are now?"
"And his article 'Things about the Ming Dynasty', which I think is better than the novels he wrote."
“This is a very rare talent.”
After being rebuked, Fang Gengsheng couldn't help but say, "But no matter how rare he is, he can't hide the fact that he was married!"
Hearing this, Meng Dezhi was speechless for a moment.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Although Cheng Xuyuan is married, he and his wife only got a marriage certificate."
"As for the rest, he did nothing."
"Tell me, what's the difference between this and not being married?"
Fang Gengsheng took a long puff of his cigarette and stopped talking.
Meng Dezhi said: "Now that his speech has been released, he is getting divorced. This is not good."
"So, I came here this time just to talk to you. Don't always put pressure on him and urge him to get a divorce certificate."
"Let's talk about it later."
Fang Gengsheng was a little annoyed. Why did I have to urge him to get a divorce? Even if he got divorced, I might not agree to let Qing'er follow him!
He immediately asked Meng Dezhi, "Shouldn't you tell Cheng Xuyuan this?"
"Why is Cheng Xuyuan in such a hurry to get a divorce? It's because you guys are urging me to do so. I came here to talk to you first, and then I'll talk to him." Meng Dezhi put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray and said, "Let's just decide it this way."
