Chapter 53 Ex-wife
My single days are just about having drinks and meals with my good sister Xuedan. It’s simple and happy.
Since Xuedan married Chen Jialian, her makeup and clothing style have become much more conservative. She used to be a hot girl, but now she is a sweet girl, and a gentle and well-behaved sweet girl.
The panda eye makeup is gone, and the big watery eyes are free of makeup.
The fiery red lips and earth-toned lip colors were all thrown away and replaced with pink that straight men like.
Her dressing style was even more so. Before marriage, she wore waist-baring tops, but after marriage, her tops became longer and had higher necklines.
Lin Xi drank the red wine in one gulp and then teased: "She is gradually becoming a good woman."
"There's nothing I can do. Chen Jialian likes her after all. Since you've chosen to get married, I'll just have to accommodate you."
"So what does marriage bring to women?" Lin Xi felt that she didn't want to get married again in this life.
"Marriage is nothing more than finding candy among broken glass. It's nothing more than turning a blind eye. Don't be too picky, don't feel bad for yourself, and don't bring your emotions home, otherwise one person's anger will turn into two people's unhappiness."
"You've only been married for a few days, and you have such deep insights?" Lin Xi replied with a smile.
"People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs, so what can a husband and wife do? Many couples can't get along well. There are times when they say one thing and mean another, and there are also times when they have to rely on their acting skills." Xuedan sneered as he looked at the wine glass.
"Oh." Lin Xi felt that instead of wasting time, she might as well just go crazy. She and her ex-husband Chen Yan had gone crazy countless times.
"Chen Jialian was rather cold towards me, perhaps still holding a grudge. But we were to be together for life after all, and he loved me. I could sense it most of the time. It was also my fault, for not giving myself completely to him."
Lin Xi said nothing and just drank.
Maybe she doesn't know what to say. If you ask a third party about this matter, she will have a say.
Every family has its own problems. People's joys and sorrows are not shared. I don't understand your sadness, and you don't empathize with my sadness, nor do you understand it.
"Well, I'll be going home at ten o'clock. We hired a nanny and someone to cook. Maybe he can't stand my cooking."
"Okay, do you need help finding a designated driver?"
"No need, there's a little assistant at home, I'll call her now."
"Okay." Lin Xi smiled.
After ten o'clock, Lin Xi called a designated driver to take her home.
He opened the door as he staggered, walked into the living room and fell down on the sofa.
"Meow~ Meow meow meow~" Xiao Fu came over with her four short legs.
"Look at me, little kitty. It's so nice to be home, just the two of us. I guess Xuedan still has to eat with her husband at this time."
Before she and Shen Yan divorced, whenever he came home, they would have dinner together. Sometimes, even if they had a fight the night before, they would still sit face to face and eat together the next morning as if nothing had happened.
Even if you don't want to see him, even if you are still angry with him, you can only endure it and digest it yourself. You can't continue to argue with him because of your indignation.
"Meow." Xiao Fu jumped onto the sofa, jumped to her side, and lay down next to her.
Lin Xi felt dizzy and was about to fall asleep.
…
As the night deepened, Gu Qingheng was having dinner with a beautiful woman.
The beauty is the daughter of a wealthy family. She is not uneducated and is also a third-tier host in the entertainment industry.
Gu Qingheng is so old and still not married. Mrs. Gu is very worried.
Ganggang came here to arrange a blind date with Gu Qingheng.
The beauty cut the steak and asked him softly, "What kind of girls do you like?"
"Me?" Gu Qingheng thought for a moment and continued, "I like those who are no less than 1.6 meters tall and no taller than 1.7 meters. I like those with gentle and beautiful looks. I like those who are bold in love and hate and have a hot temper."
Gang Gang could tell that this wasn't her. She had a very gentle temper.
"I like married women..."
"Cough cough." Gu Qingheng's words scared Ganggang so much that he choked. He quickly took the goblet and drank the boiled water in it. Only then did Ganggang feel better.
"Qingheng, your taste is really unique." Ganggang laughed awkwardly. He actually liked someone else's wife.
"Yes, Miss Chen."
Ganggang’s full name is Chen Ganggang.
"Then do you know what type I like?" Gang Gang asked.
"I don't know." Gu Qingheng ate the vegetable salad that Lin Xi liked.
Ganggang just took a look and didn't care much.
"I like successful careers, I like people who are well-matched, and I like people like you, Qingheng."
"But I like young ones, I like old cows eating young grass."
Chen Ganggang is the same age as Gu Qingheng, but his birthday is a few months younger than Gu Qingheng's.
"Like married women who are also younger?" Chen Ganggang laughed. "That's not easy to find."
After saying that, Chen Ganggang remembered someone.
The eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Xi.
She married the heir apparent of the Shen family at the age of twenty. When they first tied the knot and announced their marriage, many people were surprised. Wasn't Miss Lin just an adult? Marrying young!
Chen Ganggang glanced at Gu Qingheng a few more times, "You have someone you like, right?"
This is a summary of Chen Ganggang’s meal.
"No." Gu Qingheng denied it immediately.
Just want to sleep with her, just want to marry her.
"So you think I'm not good enough?" Chen Ganggang felt that Gu Qingheng didn't like him.
"No." Gu Qingheng denied it again.
"Then let's try to get along for a while?"
This time, Gu Qingheng didn't say anything.
Chen Ganggang wanted to fight for it again. "My parents are pushing hard, and so are Madam Gu and Mr. Gu. I think we are a perfect match in terms of our backgrounds and looks. The Gu and Chen families also wholeheartedly hope that we can be together."
"I'm not the only child in the family. There's also a younger generation." At least the Gu family won't be extinct.
It’s just that Mr. Gu values Gu Qingheng.
I hope to have a grandson soon.
"It doesn't matter who you marry. At least we are suitable in every aspect." Chen Ganggang said bluntly.
"Indeed. I thought so before, but not now."
How could life be the same no matter who I was with? For example, eating with Chen Ganggang was boring. Eating with Lin Xi whetted my appetite.
That saying is true, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach.
"Oh." Chen Ganggang didn't know what to say.
"We still have two dates left. After the two dates, we can decide, okay?"
"I heard that you are a very decisive person, how come I didn't get you the first time?" Chen Ganggang laughed and joked to himself.
"There are many failures in life. What's so unacceptable about that?"
"oh."
Gu Qingheng lowered her eyes and smiled.
He only ate salad tonight. He didn't treat Chen Ganggang the same way he treated Lin Xi, without showing any care.
****
The next day, morning.
Lin Xi arrived at work at the company, feeling listless early in the morning.
Ask Wang Xiao to buy black coffee.
I drank black coffee, which was very refreshing.
The only use of Shenyan is as the god of sleep.
After lunch, Lin Xi took a short nap in the office.
An hour later, I woke up from a nightmare and dreamed of Chen Yan.
Maybe what you think about during the day you will dream about at noon.
Wiping away the tears from the corners of my eyes, I murmured to myself, "What's there to cry about? Isn't being alone quite free?"
In the evening, I go home from get off work.
As soon as I opened the door, I was shocked.
Chen Yan, a man in a suit, was feeding cat food to Xiao Fu.
Xiaofu ate with gusto.
"It's so late, why is Mr. Shen here?" Lin Xi appeared calm on the surface, but in fact, the hand holding the bag was twisted into a knot.
"Look at my beautiful ex-wife." Chen Yan walked towards Lin Xi.
"Is 'beautiful' a derogatory word?" Lin Xi stepped back.
From the moment I saw Chen Yan, I anticipated what was going to happen.
"What do you think? Ex-wife."
"Since they are ex-wife and ex-husband, we should not meet alone."
"Have you ever met a man who didn't want to experience his ex-wife again, huh?"
"you!"
The next moment, "Wuwuwu... Bastard, let me go."
Xiao Fu looked at "Mom and Dad". Although she was so small and didn't understand anything, she felt that "Mom and Dad" were showing their love.
He stretched himself and continued to eat cat food.
Two hours later, the man came down from upstairs refreshed.
Lin Xi was so sleepy that she didn't even have the energy to cry. She didn't even have time to hate Chen Yan before she fell asleep.
The woman slept well that night. It had been a long time since she had slept for nine hours at a time.
The next day at the company, Linda praised me, "Boss, you look so beautiful today. You look so radiant!"
Lin Xi blushed all of a sudden, "I didn't change my makeup either?"
"It's different, it's different. Boss is very different today." Linda had a boyfriend before, and she found something was wrong as she spoke.
He immediately shut up.
That must be Mr. Shen’s credit!
People in the company don’t know that she is divorced yet. Lin Xi deeply regrets what happened last night.
…
Chen Yan was smoking in the office and made a decision in the afternoon.
From today on, Lin's losses will accelerate further, and Lin Xi is furious.
He took the project contract to Shen Group and broke into the president's office without anyone stopping him.
Secretary Shen Yan felt that it was over!
The board meeting was in progress in the president's office. Lin Xi, who was originally furious, was suddenly stunned.
When everyone saw that it was Madam Shen, they said nothing and dispersed on their own accord.
Chen Yan looked at Lin Xi with amusement.
Lin Xi was furious and threw the contract in front of Shen Yan, "Why don't you cooperate on civil engineering? This is the most profitable project for both the Lin and Shen families."
“That’s Lin’s most profitable project, not Shen’s.” Shen Yan said coldly.
"How can you just say you won't cooperate? Are you playing house? Can I understand this as you seeking revenge?"
"What grudge do I have against you, huh?" Shen Yan asked back.
Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, "I hate that I dumped you."
"No, no, no, I want to help you." Chen Yan corrected.
"Then why?"
"I'm a businessman. Profits are my top priority. Since civil engineering isn't profitable and the contract has expired, I simply won't play along anymore and won't renew the contract."
Yes, their cooperation used to be automatically renewed.
Lin Xi was speechless.
"Then you used to..."
Shen Yan couldn’t help laughing, “The former Miss Lin was Mrs. Shen, so of course I have to be generous to my wife.”
"Ohhhhh. So I'm not your wife anymore. That's the point."
"Yes, before I had a wife, I could support Lin. Now that we're divorced, I have no reason to support you, right?"
This made Lin Xi even angrier. "When did the Lin family become so obsessed with you? That's hilarious."
The woman left, slamming the door.
Shen Yan had a blank expression on his face, "You still don't understand?"
He really needs a woman at his age, and Lin Xi is the perfect match.
If you don’t want to remarry, you can do it like last night without any delay.
…
Lin Xi really doesn't understand what Chen Yan is thinking?
Lin Xi believes that after a divorce, there should be no further contact.
Just cut off all ties completely.
Isn't that the only thing between husband and wife? If things are still like last night, it's better not to get divorced.
****
In the evening, Lin Xi drove back to the Lin Mansion.
The steps stepped by high heels seemed like eight thousand eight hundred steps.
In fact, she has been thinking today that if they had a child, they would not get divorced. If they had not lost their children again and again, Lin Xi would not have completely lost interest in marriage.
When I walked into the living room, I saw my mother playing mahjong with someone.
Xiuyun said in surprise: "Xixi, wait for me for a moment."
"It's okay, just take your time."
Go upstairs alone.
Father Lin always comes and goes without a trace. He built the Lin Group when he was young. Now that he has reached retirement age, Father Lin has begun to enjoy his retirement life.
My mother fell in love with playing mahjong and cards in the past few years, which can be considered as finding an interest after retirement.
"It's true. She's a young person, but she's not as energetic as an old person."
After playing mahjong, Xiuyun made beef noodles for Lin Xi.
One of the dishes Lin Xi ordered when she returned home was her mother’s beef noodles.
"Do you think this is a restaurant?"
"No, this is my childhood memory, this is my home where I heal my broken heart."
"You have the sweetest mouth."
"Thank you, Mom."
Lin Xi picked up the chopsticks and started to taste.
"Wow, delicious. Thumbs up to Ms. Xiuyun."
If she were a mother, would she take care of her children in the same way?
But now that she thought about it, she hadn't been a mother, she hadn't protected her child, and she hadn't been a good daughter. She was also a divorced woman. Lin Shi was mediocre under her care, not only had she failed to achieve anything, but she had also offended Chen Yan.
Lin Xi, Lin Xi, when did you become such a failure in life?
Xiuyun, perhaps sensing that her daughter was worried, asked, "What's wrong?"
"Where's Dad?"
"Your dad went fishing. Seriously, he has high blood pressure now, and the doctor told him not to stay up late, but he went fishing all night. He wouldn't listen."
"Then Dad won't be back tonight."
"Second half of the night. I need my beauty sleep anyway."
"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow morning."
Xiuyun realized, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Lin Xi wanted to explain to his father in detail the revenue of each department and the status of each project in the company during this period.
"The income situation in the first half of this year was not very good. The cooperation with Shen's company reduced two people. Lin's company is still the backbone."
"Your father already knows. The board of directors said so this morning."
