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

After returning the favor to her husband, Xie Meilan washed up first before getting down to business:
"Honey, when Lu Jie and I were having dinner tonight, he said he wanted to promote me to investment director..."

Chen Tao snorted, "You still have the nerve to say you're not an adulterer? You've gotten this far, and with your salary level, you'd just be on the sidelines in a serious investment bank. Now he's actually arranged for you to be a director. Who the hell would believe that you two aren't having an affair? Don't say I don't believe it, but which employee in your company would believe it?"

"..."

This bastard husband, how can he not grasp the point! He still underestimates me! What ability do you have? You are a waste, don't think I am a waste too! With my ability, why can't I be a director? I just lack an opportunity!

Xie Meilan was extremely depressed. The reason she confessed the news was actually to say that she was making rapid progress and to remind her husband not to forget to fulfill her promise.

Actor Chen was indignant again: "I know what you mean, aren't you just trying to tell me that you guys are almost done and remind me to let go? Just say what you want to say, no need to test me or beat around the bush. I've had enough, and I regret it so much."

Regret your mother!

I just gave you a slap, why don't you say you regret it? You're such a jerk!

Xie Meilan cursed in her heart, but her expression became more gentle. She pretended to be weak as if she had suffered heavy bleeding again, leaning on the arms of her useless husband, and gently rubbing his belly with her hands. In a trance, she seemed to be Jinlian feeding Dalang medicine, and gently advised:

"Hubby, you misunderstood. How could I possibly test you? I know very well how deep your love for me is. You definitely don't want me to leave you. But I am no longer qualified to be with you. I have mentally cheated on you. I am not a good person. Husband, you should find a good woman in the future. There is no need to think about me anymore."

Chen Tao clenched his fist and sighed, "It seems that you have really made up your mind. No matter how I persuade you, it's useless! Well, from now on I will not win you back, and I don't want to see you. When you are ready, come to me!"

Although Xie Meilan looked unhappy, her heart was blossoming like a flower and she was extremely satisfied.

After all, her only worry was that her husband would not give up. Even if she could divorce him unilaterally, he would continue to harass her and she would not be able to live in peace. Lu Jie might even change his mind, which would make her dreams come to nothing.

"Hubby, thank you, you are so good to me. I owe you a lot, and I will definitely make it up to you."

"Haha, it's easy to just talk, but when the time comes, don't be reluctant!"

"I won't be reluctant! Just ask, husband, and I'll do my best to satisfy you."

"That's good. I can't sleep now. Please help me."

"..."

Xie Meilan felt that after she followed Lu Jie, she would have to find a woman for her husband if she had the chance, so that he wouldn't be unable to sleep one night in the future and sneak into Lu Jie's house and ask her for help.

After all, no matter how generous Lu Jie is, it is unlikely that he would agree to such a thing...right?

It is very difficult to eat in the east and sleep in the west, so she doesn't dare to do it for the time being.

The next morning, the weather was very good.

Xie Meilan completed the task and took a taxi to work.

Chen Tao sent a WeChat message to Lao Wu asking for leave, and soon received his response.

After breakfast, he got a second-hand road bike and went on an eight-hour physique-enhancing workout.

The goal is to improve physical fitness to level three within a week, which is not a big problem because Shen Lei exercises regularly and has a good foundation.

In fact, in addition to cycling, fishing can also improve physical fitness. However, in winter, the water is cold and the fish are not very active. The fishing resources in Beijing are indeed not abundant. It is easy to catch nothing when fishing with lures. You have to wait until the weather warms up before going out, or simply take the high-speed rail to Tianjin for sea fishing.

In short, Shen Lei works two jobs but only gets one salary, which is equivalent to working several more years in advance. Now that he is getting divorced, he can certainly take a vacation.

Noon, Miyun Reservoir.

It's still early winter and it hasn't frozen yet.

Chen Tao leaned on the railing and looked at the water while eating the hamburger he brought with him. After finishing the meal, he took a photo with his mobile phone, added some text, and posted it on WeChat Moments.

Soon, Xie Meilan saw the photo of the lake and read the caption by Chen Tao:
This feeling can be treated as a recollection, but it was lost at the time.

Xie Meilan was happy in her heart, but then she was shocked. Could it be that her ex-husband wanted to commit suicide and chose to jump into the water here?

Do you want to be so exaggerated?
It's just a divorce, can't you find another one? Why do you have to do this?
More importantly, if you want to commit suicide, just go ahead and commit suicide. Why do you have to send such stupid messages?
Even if you show this message to a fool, he will know that your suicide is related to me.

After thinking it over, Xie Meilan did nothing.

If her husband really wanted to commit suicide, she would be in trouble. But these troubles can be easily overcome, after all, she just asked for a divorce. Are women not allowed to divorce these days?

It's his own psychological fragility that he can't blame others.

Just as she finished her coffee and continued to look at the documents, Old Wu, who almost pissed herself, quickly called Chen Tao on WeChat video.

Damn it, if Chen Tao really jumped into the river today, he would be in big trouble as a leader.

After the call was connected, Chen Tao asked with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Old Wu, I have already asked for leave today, why are you still looking for me? I am not in the mood to go to work. The higher-ups are coming to inspect, you ask them to prepare!"

Section Chief Wu cursed in his heart, but he forced a smile on his face and said:

"Xiao Shen, don't get me wrong. I'm just chatting with you. Don't let your imagination run wild, especially don't go to extremes. Divorce is very painful, but no matter how painful it is, we have to look forward. You are so young, and good days are still ahead. Just because you don't have a house now doesn't mean you won't have one in the future. When the policy comes out, I will help you get one!"

How could Chen Tao not know what this guy meant? He couldn't help but laugh:

"Did you misunderstand? I came here today just to relax, not to commit suicide. I plan to find a young and beautiful wife who doesn't care whether I have a house or not. How can I feed myself to the fish so easily?"

You're just fucking dreaming!

Old Wu secretly disdainful, but could only encourage.

As long as Chen Tao doesn't jump into the river and is full of hope for the future, he really doesn't mind helping this guy a little. Of course, it's just to help him reflect the situation, and it's impossible to really get him a quota for welfare housing.

He doesn't have that power.

***
After leaving the reservoir, Chen Tao did not go hiking in Yunlongjian again.

After staggering back and forth for several hours, it was time to go back to a foot massage parlor.

Where does the money come from?
Of course it was Shen Lei’s salary last month.

Xie Meilan no longer had the face to ask him to hand over the money, but she had no money either, so she had to grit her teeth and return the 8,000 yuan salary she had received to him.

As for the rent, it will not be settled until the end of the year at least!
Foot bath shop.

It was still the same box and the same young Sichuan girl from yesterday.

The Sichuan girl was concentrating on patting the instep of Chen Tao's right foot when she suddenly felt something strange. She raised her head and looked up along Chen Tao's legs, her vision was obstructed.

She said with a smile: "Brother, did you really ride your bike for a whole day? Why do you still look so energetic now?"

Chen Tao also laughed and said, "How can we generalize people's physiques? Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it either!"

The Sichuan girl looked at him and suggested, "Brother, are you really okay? Don't force yourself! If you are tired, you should rest. I will take you to the hotel."

Chen Tao is a good man and immediately refused:

"You don't know! My wife wants a divorce, and I have to play with her a few more times before she leaves. I can't accompany you. I can only ask you for help so that I can recover as soon as possible so that I can go home and deal with her. You don't have to worry, after I get the divorce done, I can come to you and let you comfort me."

The Sichuan girl looked surprised, obviously shocked by his "deep affection".

He is so handsome and has a gentle temperament, how could he say such outrageous words?
It's like a girl who looks extremely innocent suddenly rolls up her vest to reveal a dragon and tiger tattoo, and turns into a big sister. The contrast is so strong that people are caught off guard.

Chen Tao added: "Finding one person to comfort me may not be enough. I need to find a few more."

The Sichuan girl was completely speechless.

She has only been in the industry for a short time and has never tried to comfort people with her colleagues!
From this we can see that the brother in front of us is a beast in human form, and he really deserves to be asked for a divorce by his wife!

During the overtime, his cheap sister Shen Lin called him via video and wanted to ask him about the message he sent at noon, asking if there was any problem in his relationship.
Shen Lei was a weak person, and he would talk to his sister whenever he had something to say. Shen Lin naturally knew about his recent situation, and also knew that Xie Meilan was in a bad mood recently. Now that she saw the photo and text again, how could she not worry? She had to make a phone call to find out the details.

But before getting down to business, she was also concerned about where her brother was at the moment, and asked with a strange look on her face, "Where are you?"

Chen Tao glared at her and said with a smile:

"I rode more than 100 kilometers today, and my legs are sore. I came here for a massage to relax."

Shen Lin was afraid that her brother would mess around and make Xie Meilan feel worse, so she asked, "Which massage parlor is it? Is it legitimate? Don't do that kind of thing!"

Chen Yingdi nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry! This is a blind massage, how can it be irregular? Don't you know who I am? Compared with the one in your family, I am much more honest!"

As he said this, he laughed.

The Sichuan girl snorted secretly and pulled his toe hard, as if she was annoyed by this statement.

Although they had only met twice, the two of them already had a good relationship. The girl was very attentive when giving Chen Tao a massage and was not perfunctory at all.

Chen Tao retaliated by putting his other foot into her arms, as if trying to clamp something.

The girl did not refuse. Instead, she straightened up and let Chen Tao push away her inner armor with his feet before getting what he wanted.

Shen Lin naturally put aside her worries.

How could her brother's joke be what she thought? Her brother had been very honest since he was a child.

As for her husband Na Wei, although he has various social engagements, he has never done anything to let her down and is very honest.

She is nine years older than her younger brother. She has a daughter, Na Zhuoyue, and a son, Na Zixuan. She is almost forty now. No matter how well she takes care of herself, she can't compare with before, but her husband, Na Wei, is still very interested in her.

So she said angrily: "Shen Lei! Don't talk nonsense, your brother-in-law is not that kind of person."

Then he asked with concern, "How are you and Meilan doing recently? Where does she plan to bury her mother's ashes?"

Chen Tao smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry about such trivial matters. I will do whatever Meilan thinks!"

The girl from Sichuan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, even though they were about to get divorced, he still hid it from his sister, fearing that his sister would worry. What a good brother he is.

Shen Lin said earnestly: "You can't always be so indifferent! You should also pay more attention to Meilan. It's not easy for her."

Her husband had problems at work.

The reason is that her husband's boss has become a Buddhist monk and no longer cares about the company's affairs.

Chen Tao smiled and asked, "How else can I care for her? I work, and I also take care of the housework, serving her and her mother like a nanny. Isn't that enough?"

Shen Lin was speechless.

In the play, Shen Lin persuaded Shen Lei to listen to Xie Meilan on the matter of purchasing the cemetery, and she would make up the difference if the money was not enough to avoid causing her to feel upset because of this matter.

This doesn't make sense.

The family was already in debt of 500,000 yuan because of the medical treatment for Xie Meilan's mother. Although 100,000 yuan of it was her own money, and the remaining 400,000 yuan was also the boss's money, Shen Lei didn't know.

He only knew that he was a joint debtor of the debt.

She already has a debt of 500,000 yuan, and she has to spend more than 200,000 yuan to buy a grave in Beijing to bury her mother. If this happened in real life, who except Kameo could resist beating her to death?

No matter what, Shen Lei did nothing wrong when it came to treating the deceased Xie's mother and buying a grave.

The family savings have been spent, so we have done our best. What else do we need?
To put it bluntly, isn't it just an excuse for cheating?
If anyone dares to say bullshit like “You tried your best, but what about your attitude” to Chen Tao, she will be slapped in the face.

Half past ten in the evening.

After Chen Tao arrived home, Xie Meilan used both her hands and mouth to attack him without him having to say anything.

Chen Tao asked curiously: "Why are you so active today?"

Xie Meilan turned her head and pretended to be reluctant to say: "When I think about leaving you in a few days, I feel reluctant."

With a "pa", Chen Tao slapped his hand in emotion.

Xie Meilan hummed and continued to express her reluctance.

At this moment, the whole person looks like a pig with its back turned to its owner, concentrating on eating without any distractions.

Can he follow the example of Lu Buwei who sent Zhao Ji to Ying Yiren and once again make Xie Meilan pregnant with his child so that he can take over the Lu family's property?
No.

Chen Tao doesn't want Xie Meilan to live a good life in the future.

If you want to live a good life, work hard for it.

You can't rely on being a domineering boss to cheat and then belittle an honest man like Shen Lei.

"Honey~ Why do I feel like you seem to..."

"I'm so angry at you, a slut!"

Whatever you say!

Anyway, my good day is coming soon!
Director Xie thought happily.

Encouraged by her eyes, Lu Jie became very enthusiastic and might express his feelings to her tomorrow.

If she keeps it to herself for two more days, she can start the divorce process. (End of this chapter)
