Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 333: Falling Out, The Third Party Gets Abused (1)
At this moment, what Shen Lingxing felt, Mi Jing had no idea, but she herself leaned towards the latter; she didn’t like Yao Xinchun, not just because she harbored malice towards her, but also because she coveted her husband!
"If there’s nothing else, you should leave now." Shen Lingxing said with a cold face.
Upon hearing this, the confident sparkle in Yao Xinchun’s eyes dimmed instantly, showing disappointment and a pitiful hurt. But when she thought of Mi Jing being present, she immediately armed herself, saying casually and happily, "Okay, I’ll leave for now, but don’t forget your promise; you must arrive on time for tomorrow night’s banquet!"
After speaking, Yao Xinchun glanced proudly at Mi Jing, then turned away gracefully.
Perhaps, in her heart, she was only meant to be a passerby in Shen Lingxing’s life.
In Yao Xinchun’s proud glance, Mi Jing saw a challenge, as if she was declaring war on her! To this, Mi Jing just smiled slightly and remained very calm.
"Let’s eat."
After Yao Xinchun left, Mi Jing pushed the lunch box towards Shen Lingxing, then pulled over a swivel chair and sat down.
"Did you make all of this?" Shen Lingxing opened the lunch box, inspected the dishes, and then asked with a smile.
"I don’t have that skill! My dad made them. They taste really good; eat more."
"You went to your parents’ house?"
"Yeah, it’s been more than half a month since I last went."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lingxing pursed his lips and said, "Make some time to visit your parents more often in the future."
"Okay." Mi Jing smiled lightly, resting her face on her hand, and nodded. Then she said, "Don’t just talk about me; you should remember to visit Grandma at the ancestral home when you have time."
"Come with me the day after tomorrow." Shen Lingxing had already planned to go home before going on a trip with Mi Jing.
"Okay." Mi Jing agreed happily.
"Then we’ll go to my parents’ house for dinner tonight." Shen Lingxing said, picking up his chopsticks.
"Is this a condition exchange?"
"No." Shen Lingxing looked at Mi Jing with a smile and said, "We’ve eaten Dad’s cooking so many times; it’s only right."
"Heh, at least you have some decency." Mi Jing joked with a grin, but then her smile suddenly tightened, and she said seriously, "I know you’re busy with work; don’t force yourself if you don’t have time."
"I’m free in the afternoon, not forcing it."
Not easy! The busy man finally had some free time!
Mi Jing couldn’t help but feel a bit excited, smiling with eyebrows raised, "I’ll call my sister and brother-in-law; more people, more fun."
After speaking, Mi Jing immediately took out her phone and then lowered her head to message Mi Wan.
Soon the message was sent, and Mi Jing placed her phone on the table, then propped her cheeks with both hands, staring directly at Shen Lingxing eating.
"Want some more?" Shen Lingxing asked calmly, having already sensed Mi Jing staring at him but without any embarrassment.
"No." Mi Jing shook her head slowly.
"Xinchen and I are just ordinary friends; don’t overthink it." Shen Lingxing knew Mi Jing cared a lot about Yao Xinchun’s presence and had to explain again to prevent her misunderstanding.
Upon hearing this, Mi Jing smiled sincerely and said, "I know, not overthinking. I was just thinking about what groceries to buy in the afternoon."
She really is a foodie!
Hearing Mi Jing’s words, Shen Lingxing couldn’t help but laugh, the corners of his mouth lifting for quite a while before returning to normal.
Since being discharged from the hospital, Song Guotao had completely turned into an unemployed vagrant. Because he fabricated evidence, not only was his lawyer’s license revoked, but he was also kicked out of the law firm.
Although he was a shareholder of the firm, this position was earned through his excellent performance in the past. Now his atrocious behavior had been revealed, his reputation severely damaged, and the firm suffered exceedingly negative impacts because of him. The firm convened a shareholders’ meeting and unanimously voted to abolish Song Guotao’s shareholder status and reclaim the shares previously distributed to him.
After losing his job, Song Guotao tried looking for new employment, but due to his damaged reputation, he faced obstacles everywhere. He couldn’t get jobs with good benefits, and he was unwilling to settle for jobs with poor benefits, so he remained unemployed at home, facing Chen Wenyu with nothing to do every day, becoming increasingly irritable! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
At the time of the divorce, the savings and house were given to Mi Wan. Losing his job didn’t make Song Guotao destitute, but his financial situation was far worse than before. Moreover, he was now living in a rented house, incurring monthly expenses like electricity, water, rent, and food, which amounted to a considerable sum each month. Aside from that, Chen Wenyu had a baby on the way, and once the baby was born, the financial burden would be even greater. For this reason, Song Guotao didn’t want this child, but despite several attempts at persuading her, Chen Wenyu didn’t agree. This led to worsening relations between the two, exhausting almost all the affection and sweetness they once had.
Today, Song Guotao had another argument with Chen Wenyu, and the reason was merely that Chen Wenyu had added a bit too much salt to the stir-fried green pepper and pork.
Now, Song Guotao found all sorts of fault with Chen Wenyu, feeling annoyed staying at home. So after taking a two-three hour nap, he went out, intending to pick up Xuanxuan from kindergarten and also see Mi Wan.
The spring breeze was blowing; the earth was awakening, the sycamore trees in front of the kindergarten had sprouted new buds, tender yellow and eye-catching.
Another year of seasonal change, the trees were green again, flowers were blooming, but the lost ones had gone far away.
School hadn’t let out yet; at this moment, Song Guotao stood under the sycamore tree with a gloomy expression, smoking solitarily.
White smoke rings lingered in the air, like a thin mist, drifting, light and carefree, spreading out. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the smoke dispersed instantly, without leaving a trace.
The chill made Song Guotao snap back to reality. Unconsciously, he looked in the direction of the wind, but the surroundings were empty, only the original scenery remained, and he couldn’t even catch the last trace of smoke.
Fortunately, they weren’t like that smoke, though they had left, he could still find them here.
Suddenly, a sense of fortune surged in Song Guotao’s heart, but the next second, his fleeting smile was replaced by bitterness.
If he had insisted on not divorcing Mi Wan and actively admitted his mistakes, would he still have a complete family now?
Thinking of this, Song Guotao felt regret again. The beautiful memories were still clear, but now things had changed!
Looking down, Song Guotao’s eyes drifted to the ground, fingers holding the cigarette, not smoking it, letting it burn, just like he let the rampant thoughts in his heart roam freely.
"Xuanxuan’s dad."
"Xuanxuan’s dad, Xuanxuan’s dad, your cigarette... your cigarette is about to burn your hand."
