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

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Chen Tao and Li Xiaoyue left the Capital Airport.

Half an hour later, the two men got out of the taxi.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, Na Jun leaned out of the car window with a cold face and questioned his ex-girlfriend's slender back:
"Li Xiaoyue, don't you recognize my car? We've been dating for three years, and you treat me like this?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyue turned around and asked:

"What have I done to you? Should we keep pestering each other after a breakup? Should we reconcile like children playing house every time we break up? Don't be so childish."

"Am I childish?"

Na Jun glared at Chen Tao who was standing beside Li Xiaoyue and sneered:
"I'm childish for advising you to make progress, but he's mature for pampering you and eating, drinking and having fun with you? A man who is emotionally broken down because his wife divorced him and wants to commit suicide, who doesn't care about his family and only cares about his own happiness, is also mature? A person who does whatever she wants and breaks up with her boyfriend at the slightest disagreement is also mature? It's clearly you who are childish."

Li Xiaoyue responded sharply: "The man you call so childish has been in love with a woman for twelve years. If the woman had not cheated because of her insatiable lust, his love would have lasted a lifetime. If this is still not mature in your eyes, it only shows that you are the childish one."

He added, "Also, I don't like the victim-blaming theory. All the problems were caused by his ex-wife, and any situation he has is excusable, so I don't think he is what you say. I am very sure that he will love me deeply for the rest of his life, and I am also relieved to leave my future to him."

It hurts, it hurts too much...

Na Jun could see that Li Xiaoyue was more beautiful than before. It was obvious that the nearly one month of cohabitation and the experience of receiving a confession on New Year's Eve had made her very happy. She ate well and slept soundly, and the effect was better than maintenance.

Na Jun endured the pain and sorrow and actually poached Chen Tao in front of him:

"I have only loved you for the past three years! I can also love you forever! You should know this very well. Why him? I don't want you to make progress. I will let you manage my money. Come back to me."

After saying that, he took out the engagement ring he had prepared from his pocket.

Although he had not yet fallen ill and had not been able to enjoy Li Xiaoyue's care, he realized through the fact that Li Xiaoyue took care of Chen Tao that Li Xiaoyue was really a good woman.

So, just like him in the book, he admitted defeat and surrendered to Li Xiaoyue.

Of course Li Xiaoyue still refused. She raised her left hand, showing her wedding ring, and then said angrily:
"Didn't your brother tell you that I have already accepted Shen Lei's proposal and will go to get the marriage certificate when the Civil Affairs Bureau opens on the ninth day of the first lunar month? What a joke!"

She is with her husband, not as Jun's girlfriend.

And now Na Jun wants her to marry him as his fiancée, which is simply unreasonable!
How could she not be annoyed?

"I'm not kidding!"

Na Jun pointed at Brother Tao and said, "He just spoils you and respects your work philosophy and lifestyle. I can do the same! Is this difficult? What can he do, I, Na Jun, can't do? You should be clear-headed. Don't mistakenly think that there is love between you two just because he depends on you! I'm sure he will relapse and miss Xie Meilan in the future!"

Uh……

Li Xiaoyue sighed, "I said you are childish, but you still don't admit it? You are you and he is him. Even if you can do what he can do, it doesn't mean that you can replace him. I like him very much, not because of your so-called dependence, but because I love everything about him. You should know better than anyone that I, Li Xiaoyue, am not a woman who is willing to get married easily. This time he confessed his love and I proposed first. I really love him so much."

After she said the last sentence, Na Jun was already shaky.

Brother Tao held back his laughter and secretly complained in his heart: "Don't say spicy! If you say it again, he will be mad to death, and others will say we are Jinlian and Daguanren."

Na Jun was quite strong. After a long while, he regained his composure, stared at Chen Tao with contempt in his eyes, and said angrily:
"Shen Lei, you are so shameless! I am your brother-in-law's younger brother, I am older than you, Xiaoyue is your sister-in-law, you let her take care of and comfort you for a month, I don't mind, I don't even mind that you love her! But why, you want to go to Pengcheng to pursue her? Are you worthy of it? Without that 10 million, you are a loser who can't even afford a house. How can you give her a better life? Just because she doesn't love money, you can feel at ease and hang out with her without making any progress? Bastard!"

Na Jun is not stupid. He knows very well that one of Chen Tao's advantages over him is that he has time to play with Xiaoyue.

Therefore, whether out of his own ideas or practical needs, he must suppress this advantage.

But Chen Tao didn't want to respond, for fear that he would have an emotional breakdown or go crazy prematurely, which would bring unnecessary trouble.

Li Xiaoyue couldn't bear it and said angrily:

"What qualifications do you have to judge him? Do you think Xie Meilan shouldn't be compensated? If you think so, you are even worse than Xie Meilan! You work overtime and still know to ask the company for overtime pay. Isn't it hard for him to serve Xie Meilan for more than ten years? Isn't it tiring for him to serve Xie Meilan's mother? He deserves to be kicked out of the house after being squeezed dry by Xie Meilan? You don't think he loves money like you and deliberately blackmailed the boss, do you? He values ​​feelings and wants to use this amount to make the other party back down and return Xie Meilan to him! You are a bastard! I don't want to see you again, please leave!"

In fact, she lied because she knew Chen Tao no longer loved Xie Meilan, and she just wanted to get back the compensation she deserved. But it was true that she valued feelings, and this was her personal experience.

Na Jun cried bitterly, "That's not what I meant! I also value feelings. I work so hard to make money because I want you to live a good life. I like to see you and mom and dad spend my money. I carry the burden forward to let you live a peaceful life. This is how I value feelings and love you."

Li Xiaoyue has a heart of stone: "I am not worthy of this heavy and tragic love. You should find someone who can bear it, or learn to live for yourself without sacrificing for anyone. I have found my home and I no longer love you."

After saying that, she pulled her fiancé into the building.

Na Jun wiped his tears and shouted at her back: "Xiao Yue, you will definitely regret this in the future!"

In the elevator.

Chen Tao sighed: "It's too bloody!"

Li Xiaoyue elbowed him.

"Oh, sister-in-law, what are you doing~"

"..."

Another cubit.

Brother Tao is a good man. He cannot elbow his woman, so he can only wait until the next time he plays ball with his colleagues and leaders to get back at them.

Especially Old Wu. Brother Tao asked for leave on the ninth day of the first lunar month to get the marriage certificate, but this guy subconsciously spoke in official language again. If not him, who else can he nudge?
You can't just elbow Lao Wang, right?
Lao Wang admires him very much now. When he asked for leave to pursue his wife before the New Year, he agreed without hesitation and very readily.

It has to be said that Chen Tao has so many skills that he can please any leader and make progress if he is not careful.

If there is a chance in the future and he travels to the world of "Water Margin", he can also be Chen Qu.

***
Because of the unpleasant incident, only the Shen family members came to the family dinner tonight, and even Na Wei didn't come.

Shen Lin didn't mind.

The husband helped to explain and had fulfilled his obligation.

The dinner table.

Chen Tao first talked about his mental journey of "getting sick", then emphasized the significance of Xiaoyue to him, and then introduced Xiaoyue's family situation. Finally, he proposed to get a marriage certificate with Xiaoyue on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and as for the wedding, they would hold it in their hometown on May Day.

He said eloquently, "This is Xiaoyue's first marriage, so we can't be careless. We must marry her back to our Shen family in a grand and lively manner, and hold a three-day banquet."

If the brothers Shen Zhiguo and Shen Zhicheng knew about Li Xiaoyue's situation, they would definitely spread the news that "Shen Lin's new sister-in-law is the ex-girlfriend of her brother-in-law" throughout the village. But it doesn't matter, as long as Shen Guoqing and his wife, who live in the village, can ignore these gossips, there will be no problem.

Can they do it? Of course they can.

Now they just feel that their son must marry Xiaoyue. Before the meal even starts, they have said a lot of nice things to her, for they are afraid that this new daughter-in-law might run away if she is not happy with her, causing their son to go crazy.

In this case, no matter how much gossip there is, what impact will it have?

They don't even have to explain, Brother Tao's luxury cars and big houses in the future will speak for them.

Shen Lin smiled and said, "Leilei, I feel like you've changed a lot recently. You're not as honest as before, right?"

Chen Tao nodded: "Every failure makes one wiser! After going through so much, if I haven't changed my mind, then I am too heartless. I am more mature!"

At this point, he held the juice to Li Xiaoyue's lips:

"I am where I am today thanks to my wife's help! Xiaoyue, my wife, I will love you forever!"

Nasty!

Shen Lin and Shen Guoqing both got goosebumps.

Li Xiaoyue benefited greatly from it.

After chatting for a while, Shen Lin got down to business: "When are you and Xiaoyue going to buy a house?"

Mr. and Mrs. Shen Guoqing also knew that their son had received 10 million in divorce compensation, so they were not so disgusted with Xie Meilan, and were even a little grateful!
Chen Tao scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and said:
"Before the wedding! But the decoration will take a long time, and we probably won't be able to move in until next year."

Shen Lin asked again: "So where are you going to buy a house? How big is it?"

"It's hard to say right now. Last month I fell in love with Xiaoyue, and I wanted to make some progress, so I tried to write a novel to earn some extra money. Now it seems that things are going well. I didn't put the 10 million in the bank, but I used it to invest in stocks, and I actually made a lot of money. If there is a good market in the future, and the income from writing books becomes substantial and stable, then I will definitely consider buying a better house."

Under the stunned gazes of the two elders of the Shen family and Shen Lin, Chen Tao showed off his aura and confidently said:
"From childhood to adulthood, what can't I accomplish? I went to school, successfully entered a top university, graduated with a master's degree, and easily passed the civil service exam. If I didn't have that strong competitive spirit, how could I have come this far step by step? My beloved Xiaoyue not only gave me love, but also inspired the fighting spirit deep in my heart. I will easily defeat Najun in all aspects again, so that no one can say that Xiaoyue followed me and was blind! Najun owns a large flat worth 20 million? Sorry, my goal is 30 million. In addition, I also need social status. As soon as I have the opportunity, I will accompany my leaders to play ball and strive to be transferred from this low-income government office. I can't reach the hall, but I can definitely strive for a director. Forget it. I have to spend more time with Xiaoyue in the future. I don't have time to make progress. After all, the country is not as good as a beauty."

After hearing the end, Li Xiaoyue finally couldn't help laughing and said coquettishly:
"I don't want you to accompany me. When you have time in the future, you should go back to spend more time with your parents."

Look at this daughter-in-law, how virtuous she is!
Shen Guoqing and his wife laughed heartily.

Shen Lin asked with concern: "Leilei, are you kidding me?"

Chen Tao said firmly: "How can you joke about this? Can't you feel my fighting spirit?"

Then he smiled and said, "Of course, it's so difficult, it's not enough to just have fighting spirit, it also requires hard work. Don't tell anyone now, otherwise, if I fail to do it, it will be embarrassing."

Shen Lin rolled her eyes at him and said, "You'd better be content! Writing books to earn extra money is indeed suitable for you. You have a lot of time! Don't speculate in stocks. The risk is so great. It's better to buy an apartment and live a stable life. Xiaoyue doesn't have to live in a big flat."

Mr. Chen nodded and accepted the instruction.

Shen Lin also taught her sister-in-law: "Dating is different from getting married. In the future..."

Li Xiaoyue sat upright, listening to the lecture from her sister-in-law.

She had to admit that her husband knew his sister very well and it was a wise move not to let her play the role of matchmaker.

Otherwise, I would not be able to withstand the sister-in-law interfering in my life at will by taking advantage of the matchmaking relationship.

After dinner, the two elders of the Shen family followed Chen Tao back to the rental house. Shen Lin also came over. They chatted until 9:40 before driving home.

The two-bedroom apartment is very convenient. Chen Tao and Xiaoyue live in one bedroom, and the two elders live in another.

As long as Xiaoyue covers her mouth tightly and he moves gently, there will be no problem.

Just as Xiaoyue, with tears in her eyes, was looking down on her fiancé as a pervert with her beautiful, expressive eyes, Shen Lin arrived home.

Her mother-in-law hadn't gone to bed yet. She rolled her eyes at her and couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

And she didn't care at all.

After all, she had already gained the benefits, so shouldn't she be allowed to be angry for a while? Even if she was really scolded, she would accept it.

Anyway, as long as her brother is fine, she can relax as a sister. As for her brother-in-law, he is such a braggart. He can handle anything by himself. He is unlikely to cause trouble to her brother and sister-in-law. There is no need to worry.

After washing up and returning to the room, Shen Lin selectively told Na Wei some of what they had talked about tonight.

For example, getting the marriage certificate on the ninth day of the first lunar month and holding the wedding in hometown on May Day.

As for Chen Tao's desire to make progress and try to surpass Na Jun, she didn't say anything.

Firstly, it is too confrontational and easily leads to conflicts.

Secondly, she also felt that her brother was just bragging. If he couldn't keep his promise, she would be embarrassed too. Why would she do that?
It doesn’t matter if he’s not as good as Na Jun, as long as Xiaoyue likes it.

The sixth day of the lunar month.

Accompanied by Chen Tao, Li Xiaoyue took her parents-in-law to the mall and bought some gifts for them.

The seventh day of the lunar month.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the two elders of the Shen family boarded the train back to their hometown.

Afterwards, Chen Tao, Li Xiaoyue, Shen Lin and Na Wei chatted for another quarter of an hour and then went their separate ways.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the last day of the holiday, Li Xiaoyue did not go out and stayed at home to study wedding dresses.

The ninth day of the lunar month.

Xie Meilan saw the new marriage certificate that her ex-husband posted on WeChat Moments, and then sprayed coffee onto the computer screen.

She wasn't surprised that her ex-husband got married.

But the person he is going to marry is Li Xiaoyue. Is that too outrageous? What is going on here? (End of this chapter)
