Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

September 7th, White Dew.

"Friday is Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm going to take Xiao Yin back to Jinzhou."

After Chen Tao returned home last night, Cheng Kaiyan did not talk or communicate with him.

But when she woke up this morning, she couldn't help it.

"You go back by yourself! The little cutie is very sensible. He knows that grandpa is sick and doesn't want to trouble him."

"Little cutie" is one of the nicknames Chen Tao calls his daughter. After all, this girl is really well-behaved and cute. Although she is still young, she is much more sensible than the two children of the Cheng family.

But his words made Cheng Kaiyan furious, and he asked loudly:

"What do you mean? My parents are not tired from taking care of Xiao Yin? Can't they get sick from being tired?"

Chen Tao laughed: "I'm not tired of taking care of your brother, so why would I be tired of taking care of the well-behaved Xiao Yin?"

Then she said seriously, "I will never allow Xiaoyin to shoulder the burden that caused her grandfather to suffer from heart disease. Your father is ill because he was hurt by you. It has nothing to do with Xiaoyin. You must understand it clearly! You must at least take on your responsibilities as a mother and avoid this kind of thing. Otherwise, don't blame Xiaoyin for not recognizing you in the future."

"Don't you recognize me? Recognize Liang Sisen!"

Cheng Kaiyan said angrily: "You even brought Xiao Yin to the United States on purpose. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking! I tell you, Xiao Yin is my daughter, and I will never let her call another woman mother!"

Chen Tao lectured, "Which woman wants to be a stepmother? You are so self-righteous! You are already in your thirties but you don't even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. You just act unreasonably. Your family education is really problematic. If you really want Xiaoyin to be good, you should not let her be influenced by your family. Xiaoyin will definitely grow up to be as outstanding as my sister when she is raised by my parents. You don't have to worry about her."

Such merciless criticism was totally unacceptable to Cheng Kaiyan.

She said in a hateful voice, "Nonsense! What's wrong with our family education? When you married me, why didn't you think our family was not worthy of you? Now that you are a high-ranking official, your conscience has become small and you despise us. You are an ungrateful person. If it weren't for my father's advice, I would have divorced you long ago!"

Chen Tao smiled contemptuously: "You think I'm an ungrateful person, but you don't want to divorce. Don't you feel it's contradictory? Is it so difficult to use your brain? Oh, I was wrong. There are indeed many people in this world who don't want to use their brains. It takes too much energy. It's better to use your butt. In this way, you can just find a side that looks good to you and sit down. It's easy and comfortable. It's a pity that these stupid people will never know who is really paying for her comfort. No, maybe she knows, but she is just black-hearted and pretends to be confused even though she knows the truth."

Cheng Kaiyan snorted, "You've said so much, but you're just indirectly scolding me and my family. Don't talk to me. If you still don't want a divorce, then don't meet Liang Sisen again!"

Chen Tao said disdainfully, "You are being unreasonable! She is my student, why can't I meet her? Her investment is crucial to the Donghai project, why can't I have any contact with her? Do I have to make concessions without any bottom line just because of your words? Regardless of whether it is private or public, no matter what you think, I will maintain necessary contact with Sisen. Threatening me with divorce? Do you think I really care about the so-called future? With Sisen's help, the second and third phases of Donghai will surely be completed as scheduled, realizing my dream. In this way, even if I can only go to the Children's Palace to accompany the children to count stars in the future, I will be happy with it."

To Cheng Kaiyan, this could be simplified as: he would rather not join the department and be with that vixen Liang Sisen.

As for ideals, she doesn't believe in that stuff!

So she burst into tears and said, "I want a divorce now, right now!"

Chen Tao was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "Okay. If my daughter stays with me, it will save you the inconvenience of remarrying. As for your job, it will probably be affected if you go back to the factory or kindergarten, so I'll find you a job in a public institution."

Cheng Kaiyan said angrily: "No, my daughter is my daughter, she should be with me!"

Chen Tao sighed, "Can you think about your daughter and not be so selfish? When you remarry in the future, do you want Xiao Yin to experience what it feels like to be abandoned by her mother?"

Cheng Kaiyan argued: "I won't abandon Xiao Yin! Even if I want to remarry, I will find someone who will accept Xiao Yin!"

"Pull him down!"

Chen Tao said disdainfully: "You are exactly like your father. You only know how to say nice things. You still don't know which friends Xiao Yin has in kindergarten. How dare you say you care about her? I don't need power. Just Xiao Yin's wishes and your usual behavior as a mother. Even if you go to court, you can't win against me."

"Then file a lawsuit and let everyone know that you are an ungrateful person!"

"Are you trying to make me laugh to death? If I don't use my personal connections to transfer your brother to Donghai and don't transfer benefits to your brother and sister-in-law's company, everyone will think I'm an honest official and hope that I can rise to the top. How can you be an ungrateful person?"

“Humph, then let everyone know that you like Liang Sishen, Chen Shimei!”

"Chen Shimei? You took it seriously after hearing your parents say it so many times, right? Qin Xianglian doesn't have a father who schemes against his son-in-law, nor does she have a brother and sister-in-law who want to take advantage of the situation. Who would sympathize with such a Qin Xianglian? They would only think that she is holding Chen Shimei back and hindering his progress."

"you……!"

"Are you going to divorce or not? If not, then you are not allowed to say such nonsense anymore!"

"Hoohoo~ I want a divorce! You don't like me anymore, so why not? But don't tell my parents about the divorce yet. I'm afraid my dad will have a heart attack if he finds out."

"..."

This is not surprising.

In the original plot, it was Cheng Kaiyan who was determined to divorce.

It was Song Yunhui who had been trying to win her back.

Now, Chen Tao is not the extremely tolerant Song Yunhui. He will not just say: You are going too far, so just endure it yourself.

Chen Tao would ignore Cheng Kaiyan instead of comforting her or thinking of other ways to help her solve her family issues.

Chen Tao will go directly to the United States and live in Liang Sisen's home.

Although Xiaoyin said that her father would accompany her at night, what about during the day?

Under such circumstances, Cheng Kaiyan filed for divorce earlier, which was unexpected but also within expectations.

Chen Tao snorted: "I'll give you another two and a half minutes, calm down, and then give me an answer."

Cheng Kaiyan sneered: "Haha, are you worried that divorce will have a bad impact on your future? I don't need to be calm anymore, I have made up my mind."

Cause impact?

Apart from having to report marital status, what other impacts could this have?
Chen Tao picked up the phone and called the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Cheng Kaiyan stood aside, listening to her husband explaining the situation to others, and tears began to flow again.

She looks helpless and weak, but in reality, she is strong, domineering and unreasonable.

Once she's not happy, she'll make a scene, won't listen to any explanation, and only cares about her own mood.

In this marriage, Song Yunhui always gave in again and again, tolerated again and again, and finally he could no longer tolerate it.

The truly vulnerable people are Dr. Tao, who was beaten by her in public, and Engineer Feng Xuehua, who was unreasonably accused by her.

And these two are women who are better than her.

Ten o'clock in the morning, Civil Affairs Bureau.

In a special office, Director Li and others completed the procedures for Chen Tao.

In fact, it is okay to have someone come to the house to handle it, but Chen Tao does not think that divorce caused by a breakdown in relationship is shameful.

He returned to the factory in the afternoon and immediately drafted a statement of divorce to submit to his superiors.

He even called Lu Xiaola to talk about it. She was surprised but expressed her understanding after understanding the situation.

The same goes for Lao Xu.

Neither of them wanted to see their good friend dragged down by the Cheng family.

Divorce is certainly a stain, but cutting off ties early is still a helpless yet wise choice.

As for Cheng Kaiyan, of course, she didn't tell her parents.

On Friday, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Kaiyan returned to Jinzhou. Cheng's house, master bedroom.

Lao Deng was lying on the bed, looking decadent, and it was obvious that he was sick again.

Cheng Kaiyan sat by the bed and asked with concern:
"Dad, what's wrong with you? What's going on?"

Mother Cheng wiped her tears and said, "You are angry with your brother and sister-in-law!"

my brother?

Cheng Kaiyan thought there was something wrong with her ears. Wasn't it because she was angry at her ungrateful ex-husband before? Why did it happen to her brother and sister-in-law this time?
Lao Deng lamented, "Yuan Xiang asked your brother to ask me for capital to start a business, but I had given him all my money, so where was the money left? So I didn't give him any. As a result, I heard news the day before yesterday that your brother borrowed money from others and resold steel."

Although Cheng Qianli is a loser, he is really brave. Of course, this is also because someone is backing him up.

Cheng Kaiyan consoled him, "He's doing pretty well in business. He lost money last time because it was his first time and he didn't have much experience. There will definitely be no problem this time."

Cheng's mother explained: "Your father is not angry about his business, but he does whatever Yuan Xiang says and doesn't listen to us at all."

Cheng Kaiyan nodded, thinking that her brother was indeed going too far. How could he only listen to his wife?

As for the fact that her ex-husband didn't listen to her and didn't love her, she ignored it.

This is normal.

People like her are not hypocritical, which is abnormal.

Old Deng didn't want to mention Little Deng anymore, so he changed the subject:
"Nannan, how has Song Yunhui treated you recently? Is he still in contact with that Liang Sishen?"

Since Cheng Kaiyan didn't want her parents to know about her divorce for the time being, she would definitely put on a natural look and lie calmly:
"He's still too busy to go home. As for whether he still has contact with Liang Sisen? I'm not sure."

Upon hearing this, Cheng's mother cursed, "That damn Song Shimei!"

Lao Deng was not angry, he just held his daughter's hand and comforted her gently:
"Don't worry, if Song Yunhui really dares to mess around, Dad has plenty of ways to deal with him!"

'Why didn't you use it earlier? I'm already divorced!'

Cheng Kaiyan was depressed, but also curious: "What's the solution?"

Lao Deng kept it a secret and said, "Don't worry about it. Dad will never watch you get bullied. It would be best if Song Yunhui could behave himself. If he dares to have second thoughts, I will risk my life to make sure he doesn't have an easy life!"

Cheng Kaiyan was somewhat touched, but still tried to test him: "Dad, he treats me badly, so let's get a divorce! Even if we don't need his help, our family can still live well!"

Lao Deng advised: "Nannan~ It's okay to quarrel, you can reconcile later. You still have children, how can you get divorced? You can't think like that."

Cheng Kaiyan asked back: "What if he wants to divorce me?"

Lao Deng snorted, "Unless he doesn't want a future! He's only in his early thirties, and there will be no problem if he can get promoted two levels later. If he dares to force you to divorce, he'll be Chen Shimei. With this reputation, how can he make progress?"

"Progress? For Liang Sisen, he would rather go to the Children's Palace and be a teacher."

Cheng Kaiyan felt very sad, but she had to put on a smile and pretend that she agreed with what her father said.

She really had an urge to tell her parents that she was divorced, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

"Let's wait until next time! I'll tell them when dad gets better."

***
The Mid-Autumn Festival trade fair at Yang Xun's wholesale market is in full swing.

Chen Tao also took the time to move his parents and daughter into a three-bedroom apartment with a yard on the first floor.

The rent is not cheap.

But he is divorced now, so he doesn't have to hand in his salary. He doesn't spend any money on food, clothing, or daily expenses, so it's not a big problem.

He has now given up on the idea of ​​getting rich through fairy tales and no longer wants to bother with it.

"Dad, there's a cat."

Song Yin pulled Chen Tao, pointed at the tabby cat dozing on the wall, and said happily.

Chen Tao knew very well that the girl was so happy not only because of the cat, but because of the new environment.

He deliberately said: "Well, that cat is very cute, even cuter than Xiaoyin."

The little girl immediately started to act like a spoiled child, shaking his hand and shouting, "No way!"

After saying this, I naturally wouldn't let my dad catch cats anymore.

Chen Tao achieved his goal and walked into the house carrying the girl.

night.

Since we are celebrating the move, it is natural to have a dinner together to celebrate.

Although Cheng Kaiyan was not there, the two elders of the Song family did not mention her.

The two elders of the Song family already knew that their son was divorced, so naturally they didn't want to have anything to do with Cheng Kaiyan anymore.

The little girl did ask when her mother would be back, but nothing more.

She is still young!

After dinner, Chen Tao drove the family of four home.

At 8:15, he finished washing up and returned to his study. As soon as he sat down, he received a call from his student.

"Mr. Song, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

After Liang Sisen finished speaking, she thought the teacher would also wish her a happy holiday, but she heard the teacher sigh softly: "I can't be happy."

She asked curiously, "Why? Did you encounter any difficulties at work? Tell me about it and let me, a good student, give you some advice!"

Chen Tao sighed again: "I'm divorced."

"what?"

Liang Sisen almost bit her tongue and asked in disbelief: "Mr. Song, are you kidding?"

"No, how can you make fun of something like this? I'm really divorced."

"Why? You and your wife seemed to have always had a good relationship, so why did you suddenly get divorced?"

"We can discuss this matter when we have time. You must have something serious to talk to me about today, so let's talk about business first!"

"No! I came to you just to chat with you."

Liang Sisen was not lying. She had just finished taking a bath and was not sleepy or wanting to watch TV programs, so she simply called her teacher to have a chat.

But I heard the shocking news that my teacher was getting divorced, which made me even more sleepless! (End of this chapter)
