Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

After finding nothing online, Mark didn't get anxious.

I just wanted to have some relaxing time, so I do have the patience.

Follow the accounts that should be followed, such as Ma Li and Lu Kuan, and wait for the situation to emerge.

This is when social platforms are most popular, and students are the group that likes to follow trends the most.

Many students post their updates whenever they want.

The frequency is not much different from the short videos in the future.

After attending a class in the afternoon and paying attention to the stock market, and seeing his wealth growing steadily, Mark ended another day of slacking off.

"Dad, I'm going home with you today."

After school, Mary rarely came to Mark's office.

"Okay, I'll take you back first."

Before, even if Mary took the bus to school with Mark, it did not affect Mary's going home by herself.

It’s only a few stops away, so no matter what means of transportation you take, even bus No. 11, it won’t take too long to get back.

"Dad, did you find the road wide today?"

After getting in the car, Mary started asking.

"I didn't go out of my way to look for him. I just happened to see him on the playground and I chatted with him for a few words."

Although Mark was surprised that Lu Kuan did not follow the moral code of martial arts and had agreed not to tell Mary, he still reported the situation to Mary.

But I didn't feel guilty, after all, I didn't say anything excessive.

"You still want to know how I know the girl who called you 'Second Uncle', right?"

Mary suddenly hit Mark with a straight ball.

Only because Mark was an experienced driver for many years, he did not get so surprised that he couldn't stop and rear-ended the car in front of him.

With so many cars on the road during the evening rush hour, it’s better not to have this kind of conversation.

"As your father, can't I just care about you?"

Mark looked ahead and answered.

Driving saves you from the problem of face-to-face communication.

"You're not concerned about me, you're concerned about that girl. My status has already started to decline before the stepmother even comes into the family."

The fact that she could joke proved that Mary was in a good mood at the moment.

"That's not the case. I definitely still care about you the most."

If Mark wants to find Wang Xiaomi, he can find her immediately.

Mark always finds someone in the several pet shops near the school.

The reason for asking this question is that we are not sure what Mary has done.

"If you want to say that, then I'll tell you the truth. Not only do I know that girl, I've even seen her."

Perhaps feeling Mark's sincerity, Mary chose to confess.

"You even met the person?"

Although it was surprising, it also helped Mark confirm his guess.

"I've seen her, and I don't think she's a good girl. There's no chance for you and her, so I advise you to stop thinking about her."

If Mark hadn't seen these words coming from Mary's mouth.

Mark thought it was Ling Mingyu talking to him.

As a mother, I am more suitable than a daughter to help Mark decide on a partner. After all, this is not a twilight romance for Mark.

"When are you going to meet someone?"

"Just yesterday."

"I told you that you were hiding something from me, but you kept denying it!"

"I'm not going to hide it anymore. I've checked it out for you. This girl is not good enough."

The girl couldn't do it, but Mary was obviously a little happy.

"Why can't it work?"

"She is a shrew. She is not virtuous or gentle at all. If you marry this woman, not only will Manju and I have a hard time, but you will also have no time to think about having a good life."

"Are you sure you didn't see the wrong person? The Wang Xiaomi I know is not like this?"

Mark has actually basically concluded that Mary was fooled by Wang Xiaomi.

The person Ma Li met was not Wang Xiaomi herself, but Wang Xiaomi's best friend Dai Anfen.

"How could I possibly recognize the wrong person? If I can recognize the wrong person, can the other party also recognize the wrong person?"

This proves that there is no obstacle to communication between the two sides.

It is indeed impossible for the other party to recognize the wrong person, but Wang Xiaomi and Ma Li have a bond of adversity from the time they spent together in the police station.

After recognizing that Mary is Mark's daughter, it is of course difficult to face Mary.

"Have you seen this girl before?"

"Yes, I have. I went to her workplace to see her before we met." Ma Li replied affirmatively:

"Old Ma, I really have to say something to you about this. You really have a bad eye. This woman is really not pretty at all. She only has the advantage of being young. But she is nothing compared to my mother when she was young."

In fact, even if you compare Wang Xiaomi with Tian Ye’s peak, he is still a little bit worse.

Not to mention Wang Xiaomi’s best friend Dai Anfen, but youth is invincible.

"You even went to their workplace!"

If Mary finds the pet shop, the story will be similar to the original one.

Mark didn't need to ask any more questions, as the truth had basically been confirmed.

"Isn't this all for you?"

Mark was questioning, but Mary took the credit for it.

"Okay, you've been really worried about me. Wait for me to bring you something delicious."

When they arrived at the gate of the community, Mark put Mary down. Mary went home to do her homework, while Mark still had to go to the gym to exercise.

"Aren't you going to ask further questions?"

Mark stopped asking halfway through the question, which made Mary feel choked and uncomfortable, so she chased after Mark and asked.

"Then let me ask you something. You said that girl was a shrew. You couldn't have quarreled with her when you met her, right?"

Mark deliberately teased Mary and didn't ask the question that Mary wanted Mark to ask the most.

"Not really. I'm not the type to quarrel with a shrew."

"That's all. If there's anything else you want to tell me, think about it carefully. When I come back, tell me everything you've thought of and are willing to tell me."

The other details are actually not important to Mark.

But if Mary wanted to talk, Mark didn't mind listening.

After two hours in the gym, Mark worked out on his own for an hour.

I chatted with the freeloaders at the gym for an hour.

It would be a change of mood if Mark just stayed in school.

Daily social interaction is still too small and too little.

There are actually different kinds of fun in interacting with different people.

Then we went to a restaurant that Mary loved, ordered a few dishes, and took them home to eat.

Whether or not to cook for yourself depends on whether you have enough time.

When the part-time job ends late, Mark prefers to eat out.

It's not that there are no conditions. Mark is not planning to change his career to become a househusband.

"Dad, are you interested in that girl?"

"I thought you could hold it in for a long time. You couldn't hold it in before you even finished your meal." "So did you have it or not?"

"Guess." The atmosphere was a bit serious, and Mark joked.

"Oh, you don't mean anything, do you?"

Asking Mary in this way actually revealed her thoughts.

I hope Mark has no thoughts about Wang Xiaomi.

On the surface, Mary was busy helping herself find a stepmother, and also helping Mark to meet and screen her.

In fact, they were helping to cause damage, gather information, and find fault.

If Mary really wanted Mark to find someone new, she should have told Mark the news as soon as possible and let Mark go meet Wang Xiaomi himself.

"That's not good."

Mark replied ambiguously.

"Dad, is there really no hope for you and my mom?"

"Your mother and I will handle our own affairs."

Mark said the same thing to Mary, and after another perfunctory paragraph, he was able to reveal the actual situation.

"Although you two are separated, it was my mother's fault, and I still don't want to forgive her. But can't you give my mother another chance?"

Mary still couldn't forgive herself for what she had seen.

Therefore, his attitude towards Tian Ye is still cold and distant.

In other words, it is better than at the beginning when I was completely unwilling to pay attention to it.

"Mary, you still don't understand your mother?"

Mary thought that Tian Ye had an affair, which was why Mark and Tian Ye separated.

The actual situation was that Tian Ye and his wife divorced in pursuit of a free life.

The fundamental difference is quite big.

"I don't know my mother that well, but based on my basic understanding of her, she definitely hasn't done anything to let you down."

Mary racked her brains, thinking of the right words:

"Although they hugged excessively, it was definitely just a hug and had no other meaning."

“That’s not the root cause.”

"What is the root cause? You have no love anymore?"

"It is."

Mark nodded. This might be the root cause of the two people's divorce.

In the past, the relationship between the two was very deep, and their feelings were enough to tie down the wild horse in the field.

Now that the emotional ties are no longer strong enough, the wild horses have returned to the grassland.

"If there is no love, you still have feelings, right? If there is no feelings, you still have family affection, right? Why can't you live together?"

Although Ma Li is very young, she already has a lot of theoretical knowledge about relationships.

After the information explosion, no matter what kind of knowledge it is, it will be passively received by children.

In this regard, each generation is actually more mature than the previous one.

"Let me tell you this, for some people, love is a luxury, and having a luxury doesn't really affect their lives. For others, love is a necessity, something that is a must in life."

It's basically the difference between rational people and emotional people.

Tian Ye was originally a rational person, but when he reached middle age, he suddenly became emotional and rebellious.

Thinking that if I don’t go crazy now I’ll get old, I start to be unrestrained.

"Just like your idol-chasing, in my opinion, it is a superfluous thing, but to you, it is a necessity."

Marco continued to tell Mary that this must not be forgotten.

This is what Mark worries Mary about most, even more than premature love.

It is normal for ordinary people to have their favorite stars.

But being too obsessed with idol-chasing is clearly a pathology.

"So is love a necessity for either of you?"

"It's still too early for you to talk about love. When you go to college, we can talk about it again."

Mark and Tian Ye's love should be considered a necessity.

When there is love, the field will suppress its "wildness", but when there is no love, it will run wild.

"According to what you're saying now, you two definitely can't live together, right? You can't even consider me and Manou?"

“This is indeed the current situation.”

Mark felt that he had almost covered the entire issue, and had gone a little in-depth, so he wanted to end the conversation.

It's a bit unfriendly to talk about children.

It is a bit hurtful to say that the two adults didn’t care about Ma Li and Ma Li’s feelings and chose to be selfish.

"If you really can't reconcile, you might as well get a divorce early."

Mary said suddenly.

"Do you seriously think so?"

After hearing what Mary had said, Mark, who had already raised his butt, sat down again.

"I really think so. After all, you are not young anymore, both of you are over 40. If you want to find a good next partner, it's better for those two to divorce as soon as possible."

Ma Li is indeed a very understanding person, especially when she is helping others analyze things.

He even helped to consider the issue of finding a new employer for the two of them.

A genuine and intimate little cotton jacket.

"Lily, since you said so, I won't hide it from you."

Mark looked into Mary's eyes and confirmed that Mary was not speaking in anger. She was analyzing the matter seriously and he felt the urge to tell the truth.

"What else are you hiding from me? Why are you still hiding something from me at this time?"

Mary's emotions were normal before, but when she heard that something was being hidden, she became angry.

Older women and young girls behave in the same way in this regard.

"Your mother and I are actually divorced. We got divorced on the day of our class reunion, and it's been less than a month. As far as the marriage relationship is concerned, your mother has indeed made no mistakes."

The timing was right, so Mark didn't hesitate any longer.

Although there is still some time left for the buffer Mark planned.

But since Mary was mentally prepared, this kind of thing didn't have to go exactly according to plan.

"No wonder she was so anxious to move out, rent a house, and take Manou over. You're not just getting a divorce, you've even divided up the two children, right?"

Ma Li was obviously a little anxious and angry, and it was not as easy as she said she accepted it in her heart.

"You two are not objects, how can you just give each of you one? Even if we get divorced, I'm still your father and she's still your mother. As for our current life, you should know that I can't take care of Manju by myself."

Other problems are easy to solve. The important thing is to calm the child's emotions.

In particular, we must not let children think that their parents don’t want them.

The reason why divorce is harmful to children is mainly because children feel that their parents don’t want them, so they choose to give up on themselves and fall into depravity.

"It's been so long, why did you tell me only now? Am I the kind of child who keeps crying and shouting for you to get a divorce even though you can't live with me anymore? "

Mary's eyes had begun to turn red and well up with tears.

Suddenly, the family is no longer complete, and there will definitely be grievances.

This is impossible to avoid at any time.

"With your explosive temper, you can't bear to be told something like this all of a sudden. I wanted to keep it a secret from you for a while. But I decided to tell you because I thought you could understand all the pros and cons."

It was quite difficult to explain this kind of thing, and it was something Mark had never experienced before. (End of this chapter)
