Chapter 110



Chapter 110

Tang's mother and Li Songyun were busy in the kitchen. In order to leave a good impression on Tang's mother, Xie Ruheng actively went over to help.

"No need, little Xie, you are a guest, just sit in the living room, the kitchen is our omega's business..." Tang's mother tried to push Xie Ruheng, who was holding an apron, out.

At this moment, a hand wearing a white glove snatched the pink apron cleanly and neatly.

Tang’s mother: “?”

Xie Ruheng: “?”

Jiao Jian put on an apron and said, "Let me help."

Li Songyun rolled up his sleeves and asked in surprise, "Have you learned how to cook?"

He remembered that Jiao Jian learned everything very quickly except cooking, for which he was clumsy. Even if he taught her step by step, Jiao Jian's cooking was still terrible.

"Single men must learn more." Jiao Jian said as he took off his gloves and stood in front of the sink to wash his hands carefully.

If it were in the past, Li Songyun would definitely call Jiao Jian without hesitation, but they haven't seen each other for so many years, and Jiao Jian is still helping in the Tang family's kitchen...

"Xiao Jian, you and Xiao Xie should both go out." Li Songyun said in a gentle tone, "You are guests. There is no reason to let guests be busy."

The hand washing action paused, the water was still washing the hands full of old knots, "Brother has taken care of me so much, now I also want to do something for brother."

Jiao Jian lowered his head, and his tall figure looked somewhat lonely for no reason. "Cooking is not my strong point, but I can definitely help with your moving."

"Brother, can I come and help you when you move?"

Li Songyun inexplicably felt that if he didn't agree, it would be a bit of a bully. "If you don't mind the trouble, of course you can."

Jiao Jian's lips curled up slightly. He turned around, smiling like a mature man with a hint of recklessness, "I promise to complete the moving mission!"

Tang's mother looked at the interaction between Jiao Jian and Li Songyun thoughtfully. When they were the only ones left in the kitchen, Tang's mother whispered, "Have you met this Major Jiao in the past?"

"My family used to sponsor his education, and I also took care of him as my younger brother for two or three years." Li Songyun asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look at me like this?"

"Do you know who the NPC he plays in the game is?" Tang's mother lowered her voice, "Lu En, the NPC who has been in love with an omega for many years."

"I heard that the experiences of the game's NPCs are basically adapted from reality."

"Tell me, is it you who is the omega that he has been secretly in love with for so many years?"

Li Songyun smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? I am seven years older than him."

"What's wrong with being seven years older? O, you're only three years older. Hold golden bricks. You can hold two and a half golden bricks!" Tang's mother wanted to tease Li Songyun again, but when she saw Li Songyun making the cake seriously, it seemed that she really didn't take it to heart.

Everyone was eating at a round table. The desserts made by Li Songyun were delicious, and Tang Bai happily ate several of them.

"Song Yun, didn't you say you were considering becoming a teacher? I contacted Director Huang of the Etiquette College for you, and he said he would welcome you to be an etiquette teacher at the school." said Tang's mother.

Li Songyun shook his head when he heard this. "I don't want to be a teacher at the Etiquette College. Some time ago, I participated in the construction of the Hope Primary School in the slums. The school has been built, and I want to be a teacher there."

"That's a slum. Wouldn't it be unsafe for you, an omega, to go there every day?" Tang's mother worried.

"I can be responsible for the pick-up and drop-off." Jiao Jian suddenly said.

Everyone's eyes fell on Jiao Jian, and everyone had different expressions, especially Tang's mother, whose gossip spirit was burning.

Li Songyun declined, "No, it's too much trouble for you."

"No trouble. The security issues in the slums need to be rectified by the military. The First Star Cluster will send people to the slums to maintain order in a while. I am preparing to report to the organization and apply for a job transfer." Jiao Jian said without blinking.

Master Tang took a sip of hot tea without making a sound.

He had just proposed to the military department to send people to the slums to maintain order after hearing some suggestions from Xie Ruheng. Jiao Jian was also there at the time, but he did not show any intention of transferring people to the slums.

"Even so, it's not convenient for you to pick me up and drop me off every day." Li Songyun shook his head and wanted to refuse again.

"Brother, aren't you going to buy a new house?" Jiao Jian said, "I've been stationed at the border before and haven't bought a house here yet. Why don't we buy a house in the same neighborhood? This way it will be convenient for us to take care of each other. I haven't had the meal you cooked for me in a long time."

Li Songyun hesitated, "This..." No matter what, Jiao Jian is an alpha. If he is picked up and dropped off by Jiao Jian every day after his divorce, the rumors from the outside world will not be good for both of them.

"If Mr. Li wants to teach at Hope Primary School, the school will arrange a school bus to pick him up." Bai Zhi came to the rescue of Li Songyun.

"That's great." Li Songyun said with a smile.

Jiao Jian: “…” I couldn’t laugh.

“I originally wanted to recommend you, Uncle Li, to do a live broadcast, just like I open a live broadcast room to broadcast cooking. Uncle Li, you are such a good cook, and you are also very good in body management and etiquette. There are a lot of things you can broadcast live.” Tang Bai took another bite of the cake happily, like a satisfied little hamster. He had just said it casually, but he didn't expect Li Songyun to suddenly fall into deep thought.

"Live broadcast..." Li Songyun would never have considered a career like anchor in the past. The idea that omegas are not suitable for this kind of job that is in the spotlight permeated his first half of life.

But this concept changed when he saw Tang Bai's live broadcast. He liked watching Tang Bai's live broadcast. When he was most desperate and wanted to shake, he drew strength and warmth from Tang Bai's live broadcast.

Could he also pass on this positive energy in this way?

Tang Bai slowed down his chewing and stared at Li Songyun with wide eyes. The two looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

"Uncle Li, if you want to do a live broadcast, I'm good at it!" Tang Bai patted his chest with great enthusiasm, "I'll take you flying!"

"Uncle Li, your Star Network account has 10,000 fans." Tang Bai looked at Li Songyun's Star Network account and found that Li Songyun had previously posted a video of a glandular makeup relay. The vast majority of fans of this account followed Li Songyun because of his identity as Mrs. Gu.

Some fans even sent private messages to ask Li Songyun what her standards were for a daughter-in-law and what it would take to marry into the Gu family.

"Everyone is very interested in marrying into a wealthy family. If you, Uncle Li, come up with a title like 'My experience of marrying into a wealthy family', you will definitely be able to lure a lot of people in." Tang Bai selflessly shared his experience in the title party.

Li Songyun said hesitantly, "After Gu Mian and I divorced, I had nothing to do with the Gu family. It's not good to use the Gu family as a gimmick."

"Uncle Li... don't you think this is too unfair to you? You were planning to leave the house to avert custody rights, but now you'd rather leave the huge amount of traffic unused for the sake of the Gu family's reputation." Tang Bai felt sorry for Li Songyun just thinking about it. He didn't understand Gu Mian, but he thought he was probably as stupid as Gu Tunan before.

After living with this silly girl for twenty-six years and having four children, she finally chose to leave the house in order to obtain custody.

Doesn’t it sound grand?

But this only sounds good, in reality it is of no use at all.

If Li Songyun were to pursue a career in live streaming, he would be faced with all kinds of rumors. There would definitely be people who would say that Li Songyun was a wealthy woman who abandoned her husband, and would pin the blame for the divorce on Li Songyun.

This society is not friendly to divorced omegas at all, not to mention that Li Songyun has given birth to four children. The only advantage of these rumors is that they can bring huge attention. If it were Tang Bai, he would either squeeze out the value of Hanhan or call himself a fool.

But he is him, and Li Songyun is Li Songyun, they are different after all.

Life has molded Li Songyun into a clay Buddha. Even when he can't save himself, he still has compassion in his heart.

"Ding Dong~" The message notification sound of the optical computer rang. Tang Bai took a look and found that it was a video call from Gu Peifeng.

Gu Peifeng first called Tang Bai "brother", and then asked cautiously: "Little dad, are you going home today?"

Li Songyun said softly, "Dad is not coming home today. Have you eaten yet? Have you finished your homework carefully?"

"I ate, but my father didn't. Aunt Wang said he was waiting for my little dad to come home for dinner." Gu Peifeng said eagerly, "Little dad, I'm very well behaved now. I've finished all my homework. Can you come back earlier so we can have dinner together?"

After hearing that Gu Mianhe had returned home, the smile on Li Songyun's face faded, "Little Feng, I'm going to divorce your father. From now on, he and I are no longer a family, so naturally we won't sit together for dinner."

Gu Peifeng didn't know how to cry at first, but when he heard what his stepfather said, tears immediately flowed out, and he blurted out: "Don't get divorced! Stepfather, please don't get divorced, okay?!"

Li Songyun knew that besides Li's mother, there must be someone else who told Gu Peifeng something else, otherwise the child would not be so scared.

"Xiaofeng, I won't abandon you. After the divorce, Gu Mian and I are no longer a family, but you are still Gu Mian's child..." Li Songyun patiently comforted him, but Gu Peifeng on the screen cried so hard that he hiccupped. He sobbed and said, "I don't want to live with Xiaoba alone."

Li Songyun was stunned for a moment, "Xiaofeng, don't you want to live with me?"

"I want to live with you two. If you want a divorce, then I will live with my father." After saying this, Gu Peifeng regretted it when he saw the look in his father's eyes. He didn't know what to do and could only continue crying: "Dad, don't get a divorce..."

Tang Bai held his breath and looked at Li Songyun's pale and calm face. The person on the other end of the line was crying and making noise, but Li Songyun's eyes seemed to be crying silently.

"Gu Peifeng, you are already in primary school, right?" Tang Bai said to the crying child on the other side of the screen, "You are no longer a child who knows nothing, so I want to say a few words to you, and I think you should be able to understand."

Gu Peifeng looked at Tang Bai with tears in his eyes.

"I know you are afraid of losing this happy family, but you have to understand that when there is no love between your stepfather and your father, then this family will only be an empty shell."

"You want to pursue a happy family, and your stepfather also wants to pursue a better life. He will cry too. He is not indestructible. Your words can easily hurt him because he loves you, and your words turn the love in his heart for you into a blade."

"Do you really want to see your stepfather crying and being unhappy every day at home because of you?"

Gu Peifeng shook his head desperately, crying and snotting, "No."

"Even if your stepfather and your father are divorced, they will still love you. You don't have to be afraid of being abandoned, because they will continue to accompany you as you grow up." Tang Bai said softly: "Do you have a tissue? Wipe your tears and snot yourself, okay?"

Gu Peifeng obediently wiped his tears and blew his nose.

Tang Bai continued: "Now tell your little dad, little dad, I love you."

Gu Peifeng said with a heavy nasal voice: "Little Dad, I love you."

Li Songyun looked at Gu Peifeng, and at that moment a thousand thoughts flooded into his mind. In fact, he had never considered that Gu Peifeng would refuse to live with him.

Because this child was raised by him in a widow-like marriage, he gave birth to this child and worried about the child's food, clothing, housing, transportation, studies and health. The Gu family did not value Beta, and he was worried that this child could not get the wholehearted love from the Gu family, so he wanted to fight for the custody of this child.

But if you think about it carefully, he actually made the decision for the child on his own initiative.

If the child decided to live with Gu Mian, he could accept that.

"I love you, too." Li Songyun said softly, "Go get some good sleep. You still have classes tomorrow."

After the video call ended, Li Songyun said to Tang Bai: "Tangtang, thank you."

Tang Bai reached out and hugged Li Songyun tightly. After a long time, his shoulders were wet with tears.

Li Songyun stayed at Tang's house tonight. After he finished washing up, he received a series of message notifications from Li's mother: "Songyun, it's getting late now. You should not stay at your mother's house tonight. Go back to Gu's house early. Gu Mian is still waiting for you to cook for him."

"Xiaofeng has been crying for his little dad. Divorce will cause great psychological harm to children. Xiaofeng is only six years old. You can't ruin his life."

"Is there anything that you can't just endure? You and Gu Mian just had a little friction, and you got so angry. If it were any other alpha, they would have given up on you long ago. Gu Mian is so good. I asked him, and he said that as long as you come back, he can pretend that nothing happened..."

Li Songyun ignored all the previous messages from Li's mother. When he saw the latest one, he suspected that he was dazzled.

Do you want to pretend that nothing happened?

Li Songyun asked Li's mother: "Did he say this himself?"

Seeing that Li Songyun finally replied to her, Li's mother hurriedly typed a bunch of words: "It's absolutely true! Not only did Gu Mian say so, but also Master Gu said so! Songyun, the Gu family has already given us the staircase, you should hurry up and get off, otherwise even this staircase will be gone..."

Li Songyun did not read the message sent by his mother. He opened the chat history with Gu Mian. The last time they chatted was two days ago.

At that time, he was standing in the examination room and nervously asked Gu Mian if Xiaonan would be okay.

Gu Mian replied to him, you have asked this question three times.

Li Songyun lowered his eyes and sent a message asking, "Have you signed the divorce agreement?"

After a while, Gu Mian replied: "I don't agree to our divorce."

Li Songyun didn't know why Gu Mian disagreed. It might be because he was the one who proposed the divorce and this matter offended Gu Mian's alpha dignity. But he was already very tired and he didn't have much energy to maintain Gu Mian's dignity.

He was now using up all his strength just to protect his remaining dignity.

Li Songyun: "Gu Mian, I am not asking for your consent, I am telling you that I want to divorce you."

Li Songyun: "I don't want to make things too awkward with you. If you don't agree to divorce, I will go to court and sue. Then I may not have to leave the house and I can still fight for Xiaofeng's custody."

After a long time, Gu Mian replied: "I don't agree with our divorce."

It's like a program with only fixed answers.

the next day.

Li Songyun prepared the prosecution materials and wrote a complaint. He took his ID to the court to file a lawsuit.

Gu Mian has not cheated on his wife, nor does he have bad habits such as domestic violence, alcoholism, and gambling. In this case, the court will only conduct mediation first. Only when the couple has been separated for a full year and has failed to fulfill their marital obligations to each other can it be proved that their relationship has broken down.

Li Songyun was busy all morning and went house hunting with Tang's mother at noon. Tang's mother carefully selected a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment that suited Li Songyun's taste very well, and he immediately signed a rental agreement with the landlord.

"Songyun, don't you have much money on you? I can lend you some." Tang's mother originally chose a large flat for Li Songyun, but Li Songyun refused it on the grounds that it was too expensive.

That large apartment cost 10 million star coins, which was very expensive for ordinary people, but it was a drop in the bucket for the Gu family.

After Li Songyun left the Gu family, could he only rent a 120-square-meter two-bedroom, one-living room apartment?

Facing her good sister's worried look, Li Songyun said helplessly: "Youwen, I have some savings, but I can't guarantee that I can make money immediately, so I must save as much as possible on unnecessary expenses."

He looked around the bright new home. "This home is great, too. It doesn't need to be big or luxurious. It's enough for me to have a place to call home. I like it here very much."

In the afternoon, Li Songyun contacted the moving company and Jiao Jian, and they set out together to visit Gu's home.

After knowing what Li Songyun had done in the morning, even Jiao Jian, who had a military style, was amazed by Li Songyun's swift and fierce actions.

Li Songyun, however, felt that he could go even faster.

Faster, faster, erase all traces he left in the Gu family as quickly as possible.

The Gu family was in the military compound. The soldiers on guard were a little surprised to see Li Songyun bringing a moving company, but they chose to let him go without asking any questions.

The suspended car drove past the place where Li Songyun had lived for 26 years. He was familiar with every building here. He had given birth to a child in this military hospital and had picked up and dropped off three children in that military primary school...

The military compound had complete infrastructure, and he once thought he would stay here for the rest of his life, like a canary in a gorgeous cage.

But he is not a canary.

The suspended car finally stopped in front of a four-story villa. At that time, no one was at the Gu family. Gu Mian and General Gu were both in the military headquarters, the four children were either at work or in school, and even Mrs. Wang had gone out to buy groceries.

Li Songyun opened the door and showed the workers the list of things to be moved.

Many of Gu's things were purchased by him, and he is the only one who uses some of them. If they remain in Gu's house, they will just be left idle. Gu Mian might even find them an eyesore, so it would be better to let him move them all away.

After explaining the general process to the workers, Li Songyun entered the bedroom. His clothes in the bedroom closet had to be moved out, and together with the clothes and accessories in the cloakroom, they were enough to fill a suspended car.

Li Songyun does not have a strong desire to shop, but as the wife of the Gu family, he needs to appear in various social occasions frequently. He cannot dress too simply, and he cannot wear the same clothes many times, so he has bought a lot of clothes over the years.

The new house was not big and there was no space to store so many clothes. Li Songyun only planned to take away some of the clothes and sell the rest. He did not take the expensive accessories and planned to leave them at Gu's house.

"Were these all bought for you by Gu Mian?" Jiao Jian looked at the gorgeous jewelry. He thought about his savings and worried whether he could provide Li Songyun with a good life in Gu's house.

"I guess so." Li Songyun said as he sorted things out.

"Is that so?" Jiao Jian was puzzled.

"He gives me the money and I choose it myself." Li Songyun replied.

Among all these clothes and accessories, not a single one was given to him by Gu Mian.

Gu Mian never gave him anything in kind, only money, a string of cold numbers that had little sense of reality.

Perhaps in the eyes of Gu Mian, who pursues efficiency, choosing gifts takes time, while giving money is convenient and quick, which is more in line with Gu Mian's principles.

Li Songyun was sorting through the documents when he suddenly found his and Gu Mian's wedding photo, which was covered with a light layer of dust.

Their wedding photo was not hung in the bedroom because Gu Mian thought it would not match the bedroom's decoration style.

In the photo, the young alpha with grey-blue eyes is wearing a military uniform. He has deep features and heroic facial features. His eyes have a bit of arrogance as if he doesn't care about anything else in the world, and he seems to be looking at people outside the frame with indifference.

In the wedding photo, he is holding a pure white bouquet, standing closely beside Gu Mian, his red eyes are bright and warm, and his smile is brilliant and warm.

Was he smiling so happily when he married Gu Mian?

Li Songyun couldn't remember how he felt at that time.

Is it anticipation, nervousness, or shy joy...

Perhaps the ice of these twenty-six years was too cold, so cold that he forgot that he once had a sweet passion for Gu Mian.

Li Songyun took out the photo from the frame, picked up a pair of scissors, and cut the wedding photo in half.

So when Gu Mian returned home, he saw the house that had suddenly become empty, and the lonely wedding photo in which he was the only one left.
