Chapter 6 You don't want to lose your job, do you?
She was full of indignation, "We don't have any joint property. Let's make an appointment to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate. Can't we just part ways amicably? Why do you have to make such a fuss!"
"Ahem!" Ma Yingjie couldn't stand it any longer. "Xiao Shen was beaten up, and as his wife, you didn't even ask a question. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
It was only then that Xie Meilan saw Lu Hao, and her arrogance instantly subsided. This was the way she was, she only dared to lose her temper in front of her relatives, and once she met outsiders, she would immediately become timid.
She quickly apologized, "Director Lu, I'm so sorry, I've been so confused these days that I didn't notice you just now!"
Ma Yingjie shook his head. "So are you here to see Xiao Shen, or the person inside?"
Xie Meilan opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer this question.
"Okay, you don't have to answer, I already know. In that case, just go in, I'll take Xiao Shen to the hospital for a check-up!" Lu Hao sighed lightly, patted Shen Lei on the shoulder, got in the company's car and left.
Xie Meilan rushed into the police station without waiting for the car to disappear. Shen Lei saw this scene in the rearview mirror and hugged his head in frustration.
"Xiao Shen, I still say the same thing. It's better to get a divorce now. It will only cause trouble if you keep dragging it out!" Ma Hao advised again.
"We don't have any major conflicts. She suddenly wants to divorce me, and I can't accept it. I think she is just bewitched by Lu Jie and is temporarily possessed by him. As long as she wakes up, life can go on." Shen Lei's eyes were full of confusion when he spoke.
"I'm afraid you are saying this to comfort yourself. You may still love Xie Meilan, but you love the Xie Meilan from the past. It's just that so much time has passed, you are still the same you, but she is not the same she!"
Hearing this, Shen Lei was stunned. He frowned and recalled carefully, trying to figure out how much Xie Meilan in college had changed from Xie Meilan now.
Seeing that Shen Lei stopped talking, Ma Yingjie changed his approach, "Tell me, what happened between the two of you during this period of time? Let me help you analyze it and see where the problem lies."
Shen Lei urgently needed to talk, and Ma Yingjie's care for him over the past few days made him think that he had met a very suitable person to talk to, so he started talking like a bamboo tube pouring beans, "Maybe it should start with my mother-in-law's illness."
He started by talking about how Xie Meilan's mother was ill, how she had taken out all her savings to borrow money for her treatment, and how she had spent more than 200,000 yuan to buy a grave for her mother-in-law. Then, he talked about how Xie Meilan had an abortion.
"Wait, she didn't tell you she had a child, and she didn't discuss it with you when she aborted the child? Are they still husband and wife? Even if they were boyfriend and girlfriend, they wouldn't be like this, right?" Ma Yingjie hesitated before continuing to ask, "Xiao Shen, don't mind if I ask you something, is this child yours?"
Shen Lei held his head in silence for a long time before answering, "It should be. If she wanted to have an abortion because she was afraid that an unexpected pregnancy would disrupt her career, I would agree. But if she secretly aborted the abortion without even mentioning it, and if she hadn't bled at the birthday party, I would never have known that a child of my own had ever been in this world. I can't accept it!"
"Alas, once a woman makes up her mind, she is much more ruthless than a man!" Ma Yingjie sighed again, "Shen Lei, she has already come this far, why are you still immersed in the beautiful memories of the past and unwilling to wake up? She doesn't love you anymore! Lu Jie just happened to appear at this time. Even if Lu Jie wasn't there, there are still Hai Jie and Jiang Jie. You two still have to separate!"
Shen Lei covered his face and sobbed softly. He had actually thought about these things these days, but he just didn't want to accept it. Now that Ma Yingjie has completely revealed the cruel truth, Shen Lei can no longer continue to deceive himself.
Ma Yingjie stopped trying to persuade him, and just drove silently. When he arrived at the hospital, he took out a few tissues and handed them to him to wipe his face. "I know it's hard for you to accept this now, but it's not a solution to keep deceiving yourself! Let's get checked first!"
"When we're done, we'll go back to the police station, and then I'll ask for leave from my boss and take you out to relax! As a person, you'll always encounter a few obstacles in your life. As long as you can overcome them, you'll have a bright future ahead of you!"
Lu Hao took Shen Lei in for an X-ray, and the result showed that there was nothing serious. At Lu Hao's strong request, the doctor still wrote dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc. on the examination report, and also prescribed some medicine for Shen Lei that was more of a comfort than a treatment.
When they got back to the police station, Xie Meilan was still waiting at the door. When she saw them get out of the car, she hurried over and said, "Director Lu, can I have a few words with Shen Lei alone?"
"Considering your relationship with Lu Jie, I don't want you to use Shen Lei's love for you to coerce him, so if you have anything to say, just say it here!" Ma Yingjie refused decisively.
"Shen Lei?" Xie Meilan could only turn to Shen Lei for help.
Shen Lei's lips moved, but fortunately he did not say anything to stop Lu Hao in the end. He just looked at Xie Meilan with a painful expression.
Ma Yingjie was very pleased. It seemed that the words he said in the car just now had finally worked, and Shen Lei had not yet flattered him to the extreme. This man could still be saved.
Xie Meilan couldn't help but grit her teeth. If there weren't outsiders here and Lu Jie was waiting for her to rescue him, she would definitely curse Shen Lei! She is just that kind of person. I can betray you, but you can't be dissatisfied with me! "If everything is fine, we will go in. The police comrades are still waiting for our report!" Lu Hao urged.
Xie Meilan took several deep breaths and managed to calm down her excitement. Her expression became increasingly gloomy. She took out a few pieces of paper from her bag and showed them to the two of them. "Originally I didn't want to break up with you, but now you're forcing me to do this!"
"Shen Lei, civil servants who fight will lose their jobs. You should know this. If you don't want to lose your job, sign the letter of understanding and divorce agreement immediately! Otherwise, I, Lu Jie, will definitely take these to your company! He is very strong-willed and I can't stop him when he gets angry!"
"Police dispatch record? Diagnosis report? Xiao Shen, what's going on?" Ma Hao took the papers and flipped through them and asked.
"That day... That day I saw the two of them coming out of the hotel, and I couldn't help but step forward to question them. Lu Jie's attitude was very arrogant, and I couldn't help but punch him!" Shen Lei is now disheartened. He doesn't care about losing this job, but he can't accept Xie Meilan threatening him for Lu Jie.
"Director Lu, please help persuade Shen Lei. It's not easy for him to get into your company. Don't ruin his future for such a small matter. Don't..." Xie Meilan seemed to think she had already won! "Wait a minute, who told you that civil servants will lose their jobs if they fight?" Lu Hao interrupted her.
