Guessing that Pei Wenping must be feeling bad after seeing her off, Shen Mingzhu picked up her bag and drove to the staff quarters.

Park the car, go upstairs and knock on the door.

The door was quickly opened from the inside, revealing Pei Wenping's face with red eyes.

Pei Wenping was not too surprised to see her and called her in in a hoarse voice.

Shen Mingzhu walked in, put her bag on the shoe cabinet, bent down, opened the cabinet door and took out her slippers.

Pei Wenping looked at her and said, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll make it for you."

Shen Mingzhu followed her and said, "I'll help you. We haven't cooked together for a long time."

I opened the refrigerator and it was empty.

Pei Wenping was a little embarrassed. "I forgot to buy some food. I'll go downstairs to buy some. What do you want to eat?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Forget it, I'm not hungry yet. Let's sit down and chat for a while. We'll go downstairs to eat later."

Pei Wenping nodded.

"Big sister, are you okay?"

Pei Wenping had already suppressed her tears, but they were brought back to her mind by Shen Mingzhu's words of concern.

Although her tears flowed like an ocean, she said stubbornly, "I am not crying because of the divorce, but because I can't bear to leave my child."

"Sister, I understand."

Shen Mingzhu considerately handed over the handkerchief.

Pei Wenping held her handkerchief and sobbed with her head down.

In the days since the divorce, she appeared to be calm and got along well with the old people in the Chen family, but she was actually holding a grudge in her heart.

Now that the old couple has moved to Shanghai with their children, she no longer has to hide her true emotions.

The relationship and life together of more than ten years between husband and wife cannot be severed by just a divorce certificate.

But a broken mirror cannot be mended, no matter how it is repaired, the cracks will remain.

Just like the trauma caused by betrayal, it makes you sad when you think about it and hurts when you touch it.

She insisted on getting a divorce, not because she didn't love him anymore, but because she still loved him.

It is because of love that we cannot forgive or let go of the betrayal and hurt we suffer in a relationship.

The only way is to cut the Gordian knot and free each other from this tangled relationship.

"Mingzhu, I don't understand why I'm so sad. It was me who proposed the divorce and I didn't want the child, but I'm really sad..."

"Especially when I saw the train start moving, it was as if I had been abandoned by the whole family. I feel so meaningless now. Work is meaningless, making money is meaningless, and living is even more meaningless."

Shen Mingzhu realized that Pei Wenping was suffering from post-traumatic stress and at a time like this, she needed the comfort and company of her family the most.

She sat over and gently held the person in her arms.

She said softly, "Sister, Xiaolu and Xiaochao are eleven years old this year. They will go to junior high school next year, then high school, and then college. After graduating from college, they will work, fall in love, and get married. The children will eventually leave us, it's just a matter of sooner or later."

"It's the same with lovers. It's good to be able to love each other and stay together until old age. If we can't, we don't have to force it."

"Everyone is an independent individual. The only person who can accompany you throughout your life is yourself. Loving yourself the most is the greatest responsibility to yourself."

Pei Wenping nestled in her arms like a child, tears streaming down her face.

"Mingzhu, can you sing the song you sang that night again for me?"

"good."

I ca n't predict for you. Is it useful to compromise? But I'm so reluctant.

Friends love so painfully ...

"It's so beautiful, what song is this?"

"Happy breakup."

"Who sang this? I'll buy a tape some other day."

"I dreamed about it."

Pei Wenping looked incredulous, "Are you kidding me?"

Pei Wenping didn't know whether she believed it or not, but her mood was much better.

She sighed, stood up and said, "I'll go wash my face and change my clothes. We'll go out to eat. After eating, we can still catch up with work in the afternoon."

I'm in the mood to go to work, it seems I've really let it go.

Shen Mingzhu felt relieved, walked around the room alone, and then went to the balcony to take a look.

The balcony used to be full of flowers and plants, but now they have all been moved to the old house, making it look empty. I have to take some time to go to the flower and bird market to buy some new ones, and I also have to add some ornaments and household appliances to the house.

Shen Mingzhu was silently thinking about making the house a little cozier so that the people living there would be in a better mood.

The next day, after finishing her work, Shen Mingzhu took Pei Qiuxia and drove to the flower and bird market.

I picked out ten pots of flowers and a tank of goldfish in one go.

When I was leaving, I met an old farmer who was selling kittens in a bamboo cage.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Shen Mingzhu picked a rural cat with orange back and tail, snow-white belly and four paws. Its body was not much bigger than a palm and was covered with soft and furry fur.

Shen Mingzhu had the key to the staff quarters, so she opened the door directly and moved the things upstairs.

When the arrangements were completed, Pei Wenping just came back from get off work.

Seeing the living room and balcony become beautiful and romantic, I felt touched and happy.

Especially after seeing the kitten curled up into a little ball in the cardboard box, she blamed Shen Mingzhu for causing her trouble, but her body honestly held the kitten in her arms, her eyes and eyebrows showing love.

How can a mother not like little things?

…

When I went downstairs, it was already getting dark.

When I arrived at the gate of the staff housing complex, I met Shen Baolan who was pushing a snack cart back.

Shen Mingzhu didn't intend to pay attention, but Shen Baolan came up to her like a pug, "Shen Mingzhu, I heard that Pei Yang's sister is divorced? Her man doesn't want her anymore?"

Although Pei Wenping kept her divorce a secret, she moved back to her parents' home without saying a word. Chen Yi then took her parents and children to Shanghai, and rumors spread in the family compound that the couple was having a divorce.

Shen Mingzhu motioned Pei Qiuxia to wait for her at the parking lot.

After Pei Qiuxia left, Shen Mingzhu looked at Shen Baolan straight in the eye, "Shen Baolan, eat when there is food, earn when there is money, and don't meddle in my eldest sister-in-law's family's affairs. If I find out that you are gossiping about my eldest sister-in-law outside, I will definitely come to your house to settle the account with you!"

Looking at Shen Mingzhu's back, Shen Baolan pouted and secretly gloated in her heart.

At the beginning, she tried to stir up trouble in front of Pei Wenping, but Pei Wenping did not deal with Shen Mingzhu. Instead, she came to her house and scolded her aggressively, causing her to lose face. She still holds a grudge against her.

Now the situation has changed and Pei Wenping has become an abandoned woman, and she feels very happy.

She is now looking forward to the day when Shen Mingzhu gets into trouble.

But she is different.

Her husband has gone to the south to do big business. In less than two years, she will become a rich lady, live a good life, and step on Shen Mingzhu under her feet.

In the car.

Pei Qiuxia asked hesitantly, "Boss Shen, is my eldest cousin really divorced from brother-in-law Chen Yi?"

In order to completely hide the secret from the twin siblings, Pei Wenping even hid it from her relatives and friends.

Although everyone has speculations, it has not been confirmed by the parties involved.

"Don't ask about social affairs."

Although this matter cannot be kept secret forever, it cannot be spread out of her mouth.

Pei Qiuxia tactfully didn't ask any further questions.

…

After the fifteenth day of the lunar year, the self-study examination results are released.

Because it was the first day, there were many candidates who came to pick up their transcripts, and a long queue formed outside the transcript office.

Shen Hongmei had just stood at the end of the team when someone called her from behind - (End of this chapter)
