The rich and powerful: the contracted secret wife, please enter the game

Chapter 79
"Breakup fee?" She turned around slowly, as if she didn't hear clearly, she asked this question softly.

But at this moment, her eyes were like crystal clear ink-colored glass, which seemed to shatter at the slightest touch. Chen Ze looked into her eyes, but he didn't have the courage to repeat what he said just now.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, and Ye Chuxiao suddenly smiled "ha": "Is this the way Young Master Lu sends women? Spend money to buy peace of mind?"

This was the line that Lu Zhengnan asked him to tell her, but she said it first, and he was completely speechless.

"It's not necessary, I'm not mentally fit, and I can't afford such a big favor." Ye Chuxiao turned around coldly, walked to her desk, turned off the computer, and packed things mechanically.

Chen Ze stood silently on the spot until he saw that she was about to leave, so he came over and followed her.

From going out to going downstairs, Ye Chuxiao didn't say a word from beginning to end.

The snow was falling heavily, and she walked into the biting cold wind without an umbrella.

Chen Zechu was stunned for a moment, then he chased after her and grabbed her arm: "I'll take you home."

"Even if you send me off once tonight, can you give me away forever?" Ye Chuxiao raised her chin and smiled, shaking off his hand.

A man's sympathy is really too cheap, generous at the beginning, cold at the end, oh no, Lu Zhengnan is "generous" even at the end, and he plans to give her a mansion, isn't he?
It was as if snow had blown into her eyes and melted into water again. A cold tear dripped from the corner of her eyes, and before it flowed down, it seemed to condense again.

She walked down the stairs quickly, and her lonely but stubborn back was getting further and further away from him.

He wanted to stop her again, but finally gave up. He didn't take out his mobile phone until he saw her get on the bus, and called Lu Zhengnan.

"She doesn't accept it." After he said these four words, he fell silent, and the other end was silent for a while before speaking: "Then you find a way to make her accept it. I don't care about the process, I just want the result."

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhengnan hung up the phone and walked to the window.

There is so much snow, even in a warm room, my heart still feels cold.

She also felt cold, after listening to what Chen Ze said to her.

He sighed deeply, and quickly dialed a series of numbers with his fingertips. When the other side answered, he didn't wait for the other party to speak before getting to the point: "The daughter of the Luo family that Dad mentioned last time, arrange for us if you are free." Meet me, or another woman, whoever you want."

"You mean... a blind date?" Mother Lu hesitated there for a while before asking tentatively.

Lu Zhengnan gave a simple "hmm".

She was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked again: "What about you and that Ye?"

"It's gone." Lu Zhengnan's tone was already irritated: "Hurry up and make arrangements, don't wait for me to go back on my word." After speaking, he hung up directly.

Lu's mother was stunned for a while, and finally she was sure that it was true, and then she went to report to the old man with a happy face.

However, when she finished speaking, the old man was not as happy as she expected, but was very silent.

She smiled for a moment, not knowing how to react.

After a while, the old man flipped through the newspaper in his hand, and replied absently: "Since he said it, let's do it this way."

She agreed to go out, returned to the West Wing and immediately started calling the Luo family. The other party had already wanted to do this, so naturally they hit it off right away, and soon decided to meet in three days.

After this side agreed, she hurriedly called Lu Zhengnan again, but he had already turned off the phone, so she could only go to sleep resentfully.

And that night, Lu Zhengnan's car was parked outside the courtyard where Ye Chuxiao lived.

Layers of snow covered the roof of the car, and his vision was blurred. He turned on the wipers, scratched the water on the glass over and over again, and looked at the lights in her room from afar, from on to off. Gradually fade away...

The next morning, when Ye Chuxiao went to work, she met Shen Ya. As soon as she met, she asked, "Hey, that black-hearted lawyer didn't go to you yesterday, did he? Ignore him and leave."

"No." Ye Chuxiao smiled, as if nothing happened at all.

Take everything last night as a dream, and everything in the past as a dream.

Now that you are awake, forget about it.

"Why are you still chatting here? There are a lot of things waiting." Tang Qianqian's voice suddenly broke in. Shen Ya turned her head and saw her domineering expression. In anger, leave first.

"What? Do you think this world is unfair?" Tang Xiqian sneered: "It's fair. Those who rely on others to get to the top deserve to be stepped down. This person has to rely on his own ability in the end."

"I think so too." Ye Chuxiao nodded, smiled peacefully, and returned to her seat.

Obviously, her words sounded like she was agreeing, but Tang Qianqian felt as if she had been stabbed by a needle in her heart. She felt uncomfortable no matter what, so she gave her a hard look before entering her office.

But at this moment, as soon as Lu Zhengnan's cell phone was turned on, Mother Lu's call came in.

"You can do whatever you say." He didn't express any opinion at all: "I still have something to do now, I hung up, and I will come back when the time comes."

Two days later, Lu Zhengnan flew back to Beijing, but instead of going home, he stayed in a hotel.

At noon the next day, he went to the appointment on time. Lu's mother and Luo's mother were happy and enthusiastic when they saw him, but he always kept a polite smile, and his attitude was not too far or too close.

Luo Xin, who was on a blind date with him, had exquisite makeup and elegant demeanor, which was in line with the aesthetics of this circle, but he was used to Ye Chuxiao's freshness, and he only felt that the other party was a beautiful but lifeless porcelain figure, beautiful as beautiful Yes, but not vivid.

During a meal, almost all the mothers of the two families were talking, Luo Xin would occasionally answer a few sentences with a reserved smile, but Lu Zhengnan remained silent.

After the meal, Lu's mother and Luo's mother excused that they were going to go shopping, leaving time for the two of them to spend alone.

The next process was also arranged in advance. First watch the movie in the afternoon, and then have dinner together.

The movie was chosen correctly, you and I were talking about a romance movie, but the person sitting next to me was wrong.

He stared blankly at the screen, where the hero and heroine met by chance at the street corner, and what he thought of was Ye Chuxiao.

Seeing them hugging and kissing each other, what he thought of was also Ye Chuxiao.

Seeing the two holding hands and walking down the romantic forest path, what he thought of was still Ye Chuxiao.

Everything is Ye Chuxiao.

He was gradually in a trance, not knowing why he was sitting here, watching such a movie with a stranger.

He hasn't even taken Ye Chuxiao to see a movie yet, he and she haven't done so many things, and haven't traveled such a long way.

Why did he leave her and sit here with a stranger?
In the darkness, his heart seemed to be torn apart by hands coming from all directions, he suddenly couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, and walked away under Luo Xin's surprised and puzzled eyes.

After rushing out of the cinema, he got into the car, but he didn't know where to go. In the end, he went to the cemetery.

Sitting down in front of Ling Zhiyu's tomb, it took a long time before he opened his mouth, as if rambling: "Zhiyu, I know I shouldn't say this to you, but I have no one else to say it to you except you..."

He put his hands on his head, seeming to be laughing, but his voice was so hoarse: "I fell in love with her...want to be with her...for the rest of my life...no way...just fell in love with her..." He Whispering, in the end, gradually silent, just sitting there motionless.

The winter wind used to run so fast, but at this moment, the footsteps seemed to be light, slowly circling around him, as if wanting to soothe the sadness, but it was powerless...

When Lu Zhengnan returned to the hotel, Lu's mother called. He was clearly annoyed, but not easy to get angry, and his tone was apologetic: "Why did you suddenly leave the girl halfway and left, are you dissatisfied?"

"There's nothing dissatisfied." Lu Zhengnan leaned on the edge of the bed and turned on the TV, casually changing channels: "It's just something I just remembered."

Lu's mother secretly rejoiced: "That's good, then...do you want to develop further?"

He answered "Yes" and didn't bother to speak anymore.

She was finally completely relieved, and began to persuade again: "Since you have come to Beijing, you should go home and live."

"It's troublesome to go up and down, anyway, I'll leave early tomorrow morning, just like that, hang up." Lu Zhengnan threw the phone aside.

Lu's mother put down the phone helplessly, but when she thought that Lu Zhengnan agreed to continue dating Luo Xin, she smiled again, and hurriedly reported the good news to her...

Lu Zhengnan stayed in the room sleepily for half an afternoon, remembering that Xiang Min and Sheng Xuan were also in Beijing, so he called and made an appointment for an evening get-together.

After a simple meal, they went to play squash together again. Lu Zhengnan's attack today was particularly fierce, and every blow seemed to use all his strength.

After a game, he was already covered in sweat, leaning back on the chair next to him, panting with his eyes closed.

"Fourth brother," Sheng Xuan walked up to him, tilted his head and asked, "There seems to be something wrong with you."

Lu Zhengnan smiled: "What could be wrong with me?"

"Don't quarrel with the fourth sister-in-law, and hide in Beijing to relax?" Sheng Xuan teased him.

"Why are you arguing? It's all over." He unscrewed the lid and drank water in a relaxed tone.

But Sheng Xuan snatched his drink bottle and widened his eyes: "What, broke it?"

"Look at you, why are you so angry, that's broken, I'll find you another one, this time I'm back for a blind date." Lu Zhengnan was still fooling around.

Sheng Xuan stared at him for a while, then threw the water back to him with a raised hand, and sneered coldly: "I don't even bother to mention your past affairs, but the fourth sister-in-law is different from other women. Enough for you to regret it forever."

After she finished speaking, she left angrily. Xiang Min anxiously looked at this and then that, and finally chased after Sheng Xuan.

Lu Zhengnan sat alone, stood up again after a while, and continued to play squash. During the fierce smash, his mind went blank, and suddenly he sprained his foot, and before he could stand still, he fell heavily...

After this fall, his right foot could no longer move. The staff of the club sent him to the hospital. After taking the film, they concluded that his ankle was fractured and he had to rest for at least two weeks.

When the news came back to the Lu family, Lu's mother was distressed at first, but then she was overjoyed. Isn't this a great opportunity for him and Luo Xin to cultivate their relationship?

Of course, the Luo family also reacted quickly, and asked Luo Xin to go to the hospital to accompany him the next day, but Lu Zhengnan didn't expressly refuse, and still had that indifferent attitude.

Xiang Min also came to visit after he knew he was hospitalized, but Sheng Xuan still got angry and only asked Xiang Min to bring a fruit basket, but Sheng Xuan didn't come.

"Xuanzi, she..." Xiang Min wanted to explain a few words for her, but Lu Zhengnan waved his hand to stop him: "It's okay."

Xiang Min glanced at Luo Xin who was next to him, he hesitated to speak, when her cell phone rang, and she went out to answer the phone, he spoke, with a hesitant tone: "Fourth brother, you really... want to talk to this person..."

"Yeah." Lu Zhengnan nodded, and smiled lightly: "If it's okay, I plan to get married."

"But..." Xiang Min was a little anxious, although he was afraid that Lu Zhengnan would be unhappy, but from the bottom of his heart, he still favored Ye Chuxiao.

Lu Zhengnan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, for people in our circle, marrying a wife is no different than buying a big cloisonné vase. I usually keep it at home for offerings. When I'm free, I look at it. When I'm busy, I'm just a pure girl." Decoration, so as long as it can be on the stage, there is no need to pay more attention to it, understand?"

Xiang Min stared at him for a while, then murmured, "I don't understand, why marry without love?"

Lu Zhengnan closed his eyes, rubbed the bridge of his nose with his fingertips, and did not speak again.

At this time, Luo Xin had already answered the phone and came back, Xiang Min didn't stay any longer, he found a reason and left first.

There were only her and Lu Zhengnan left in the room, so it was a bit awkward, she tried her best to find some topics to talk about, and Lu Zhengnan would reply with a sentence or two from time to time, but the atmosphere was still dull.

At noon, Luo Xin made an excuse to order a meal, went out to let some air in, and came back after nearly two hours, Lu Zhengnan didn't order anything, just looked at those dishes that were just like her, exquisite but not to the taste, and remembered Ye Chuxiao's chicken soup .Even if it is a simple bowl of soup, as long as the person who cooks the soup really puts his heart into it, it is better than any delicacies from mountains and seas.

But girls like Luo Xin don't spend their minds on these places. What they want is to find a decent man, marry a perfect marriage at least on the surface, and then continue to play the role they should play well. Life is considered a perfect scenery.As for love, yes, that's the icing on the cake, and it's okay if you don't have it. Anyway, except for public performance time, it's good to play each other in private.

That's okay, don't worry.Lu Zhengnan laughed at himself, feeling more and more that everything in front of him was tasteless...

In the evening, seeing that it was about to snow again, Luo Xin couldn't stay still anymore and left in a hurry.

The room returned to tranquility, Lu Zhengnan leaned on the head of the bed, looking at the snow outside the window, one after another, silently falling on the glass, like white hexagonal water chestnut flowers, melting instantly.

The night gradually sank, the door was pushed open, interrupting his absent mindedness, he turned his head and saw the person who came in, he was a little surprised, but he understood: "Dad, why are you here so late?"

The old man came alone, without bringing anyone with him, walked to the bed, looked at his feet in plaster, and said in a blunt tone, "What's wrong, you're still wrestling at such a big man?"

"Isn't this a shipwreck in the gutter?" Lu Zhengnan twitched his lips: "You also know that I am good at sports since I was a child, especially in fighting and playing ball."

He was still very naughty when he spoke, the same as before, but at this moment, the old man seemed to have a faint sadness in his eyes. After a long silence, he sat down slowly opposite him: "Are you really thinking about it?"

"What?" Lu Zhengnan seemed puzzled.

"That matter with the Luo family." The old man looked at him: "You and that... are you really separated?"

"What can we do if we don't know?" Lu Zhengnan lowered his eyelids: "I can't drag her to pay off our Lu family's debt."

The old man's expression was shocked, and he didn't speak again.

"Okay, okay," Lu Zhengnan returned to his hippie smile after a while: "You should go back quickly after you finish your condolences. It's dark and it's snowing again. If I make a mistake, I'll be very guilty."

The old man didn't move, he still smiled and said in a low voice, "I'm fine."

At that moment, the old man's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end. He suddenly got up and walked out the door. The sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor for a long time.

Lu Zhengnan returned to his original posture, silently looking out the window.

The snow all over the sky also fell silently, covering everything in the world quietly...

The next day, the news of Lu Zhengnan's hospitalization had already spread. Although it was only a minor injury, it was a great opportunity for flatterers, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit him.In front of outsiders, Luo Xin was even more gentle and considerate to Lu Zhengnan. Soon, the relationship between the two spread like wildfire, and everyone knew about it.

This afternoon, Shi Man also came with flowers and supplements. Rather than saying that she came to see Lu Zhengnan, it would be better to say that she came to prove the truth of certain things.

Now Qi Zhen has completely lost contact with her. She called, but he refused to answer, and even changed his place of residence. It was like disappearing from the world.Now that Lu Zhengnan had suddenly broken up with Ye Chuxiao and got back with Luo Xin, it made her even more anxious, fearing that the situation would develop in the direction she least wanted - Ye Chuxiao and Qi Zhen were together again.

After entering the ward, she still showed her usual enthusiasm, made a fuss to see the injury, and praised Luo Xin's virtuousness diligently, Lu Zhengnan ignored her at all, and only watched her act indifferently.

Luo Xin had also heard a little about the internal relationship of the Lu family before, and now seeing that Lu Zhengnan was so disrespectful to Shi Man, naturally he was even more unwilling to be caught in the middle as cannon fodder, so he dealt with it a few words, saying that he would go to the doctor's office to ask about the examination , and left quickly.

Shiman could not wait for her to leave, he closed the door with a smile, turned around with a look of sadness, and sat down next to the bed, pretending to look at Lu Zhengnan pitifully: "Brother, Qi Zhen...Qi Zhen Is he... is he with..."

Lu Zhengnan interrupted her directly: "I'm not your brother, and I don't care about your affairs, so don't ask me."

Shi Man was choked with anger, and after a while, he snorted through his nostrils: "You've been cheated on, and you're venting your anger on me?"

It's a pity that no matter how positive or negative, Lu Zhengnan was unmoved, and directly rang the bell to call the nurse, saying that the wound hurts.

Immediately, a doctor and nurse came over, Shiman gave him a resentful look, and had to leave.

But when she went out, she felt even more panicked. Lu Zhengnan's attitude made her feel that her premonition had come true.

She had to go to the ancient city herself, if she couldn't find Qi Zhen, she would find Ye Chuxiao!
That afternoon, Shiman flew to the ancient city, and called Qi Zhen before leaving, but he still didn't answer, and when he arrived, he called again, but the phone had already been turned off.

Reluctantly, she went to look for the hotel where he stayed before, but she was still disappointed in the result.

After being angry all night, she got up early the next morning and went straight to Ye Chuxiao's company.

When Ye Chuxiao entered the hall and saw her, she was not surprised or flustered, but stopped and stood where she was, neither speaking nor retreating.

Shiman was not as calm as she was, and rushed forward and asked sharply, "Did you get involved with Qi Zhen again?"

Ye Chuxiao thought of the lawsuit between Qi Zhen and himself, and smiled mockingly: "It's kind of like that."

Shiman gritted his teeth, really wanted to slap her, but recalled that encounter in the teahouse, he didn't dare to do it, he could only scold angrily: "I have never seen such a shameless person like you, no wonder Brother Zhengnan Don't want you anymore, marry someone else."

The word "marriage" made Ye Chuxiao's heart ache instantly, and she thought of that ring and those sweet promises again.

"Really, then congratulations to him." The fingertips hanging by her side tightened the bag tightly, and she still looked as usual.

And this stimulated Shiman even more. She was almost convinced that things were as she expected.

"Tell me, where is Qi Zhen? Tell me, where is Qi Zhen?" Her voice was getting higher and higher, and her emotions had already begun to collapse: "Dead or evaporated? He thought I was so easy to get rid of." , Is it all right to hide? Let me tell you Ye Chuxiao, if I can’t find him, it’s the same if I take care of you!”

Ye Chuxiao quietly looked at Shi Man who was clamoring for a long time, then smiled: "Shi Man, you are also poor."

As if the air in his chest was suddenly sucked out, Shiman opened his mouth, but couldn't swear anymore, and just stood there in a daze.

"Yo, what's the matter?" Tang Qianqian's voice broke the silence, she walked closer, looked at Ye Chuxiao with a smirk: "Assistant Ye, you too, this is a company after all, your messy private affairs are enough The influence is not good, and if you make such a public disturbance, is it to make us Ai Wei completely out of business?"

Then she turned her face again, looked Shiman up and down, and asked tentatively, "Are you... the incumbent of her ex-boyfriend?"

In front of outsiders, Shi Man forced himself to restrain his emotions, cast a cold glance at Tang Qianqian, and did not answer.

"That's right, alas." Tang Qianqian seemed to be quite pitiful: "If it were me, it would be unbearable to watch my man and his ex-girlfriend get involved with a child."

Shiman was stunned in astonishment, and after two seconds, his voice trembled, and he asked slowly, "Child?"

"You don't know yet." Tang Qianqian was even more fussed: "Tsk tsk, I heard that the child is already four years old."

Shiman's legs were already weak, and his eyes were fixed on Ye Chuxiao, and suddenly he rushed up to fight like crazy, crying and cursing: "You shameless...shameless...I hate you...I can't wait for you die……"

Ye Chuxiao originally wanted to sideways to avoid it, but Tang Qianqian pretended to step forward to persuade her to fight and pushed her away. Immediately, her face was scratched heavily by Shi Man's sharp nails, showing a bloodstain.

Tang Qianqian was still screaming on purpose, attracting a large crowd of people watching, but no one really helped Ye Chuxiao, what's more, they even reported to Mr. Wang.

"What's this like? Go and pull it away." Mr. Wang's roar suddenly sounded at the scene, and finally someone stepped forward and separated Ye Chuxiao and Shiman.

At this moment, Tang Qianqian also quietly retreated to Mr. Wang's side, half-covering her mouth, and described the cause of the accident in an eloquent manner.

Mr. Wang was already flattering her, so he naturally climbed up the pole, pointed at the tip of Ye Chuxiao's nose, and said imposingly, "You, you have been fired, go to the financial office to get your salary and leave now."

Ye Chuxiao was stunned, her pale face was still stained with congealed blood, but her eyes were cold and menacing. She walked straight to the office. Mr. Wang and Tang Qianqian, who were blocking the door, couldn't help feeling afraid and hurried to the office. Give Way.

Seeing her back disappear into the door, Shiman was still panting with anger, but at this moment, she also realized her gaffe, shook off the hand of the person who was holding her, and left angrily.

The bustle outside ended, and everyone entered the door again, continuing to quietly watch Ye Chuxiao's bustle.

She had no expression on her face. After packing up her things and completing the formalities, she left Ai Wei without saying goodbye to anyone.

This place is not worth her nostalgia, and she doesn't want to see these people again.

While standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus, she looked at the sky between tall buildings in the distance, which was so gloomy that it seemed to be crushed at any moment, and gritted her teeth...

When Shen Ya's call came, she was already at home and was reading job advertisements online.

"Chu Xiao, what's going on? I didn't arrive at the company until I went to see the client in the morning, and I heard that you had left." Shen Ya asked anxiously.

Ye Chuxiao briefly explained what had happened, and Shen Ya was furious: "I'm not going to do it anymore, and now I'm going to deal with that wicked woman Tang Qianqian and that rotten Mr. Wang!"

"Don't be impulsive, it's not worthwhile to resign now." Ye Chuxiao didn't want to involve her, so she forced a smile and joked: "I'm still waiting for you to get the year-end bonus for a while to help me."

"But what should you do?" Shen Ya only felt sad.Losing his job at this time was a fatal blow to Ye Chuxiao.

"It's okay. I'm looking for a job. There's always somewhere to go." Ye Chuxiao's tone was relaxed, but his heart was not.It's almost the end of the year, how can any company recruit people at this time.

After talking to Shen Ya for a while, she hung up, and the phone rang again before she put it down.

Seeing the number, her fingertips trembled instantly. It was a call from the court.

After taking a deep breath, she picked it up: "Hi, hello."

"The time for the next court session has been confirmed. Please come on time at nine o'clock in the morning on the 27th." The other party's words made her heart fall into the ice cellar...

The 27th is less than two weeks away.And she was already at a disadvantage in court, and today's unemployment made things worse, and her hope of winning the lawsuit was slim.

She sat there in a daze, her palms and feet felt cold, and after a long time, she began to browse the web again, not daring to let go of every bit of recruitment information.

However, a whole day passed and still nothing.

She didn't seem to know that she was hungry, she locked herself in the room without the lights on, and her heart was as dark as the night.

After knocking on the door for a long time, she stood up slowly to open the door, thinking that it was Shen Ya who came to see her.

But in the shadow of the lights in the corridor, stood Chen Ze.

His eyes slid across her face, saw the scar, and said softly: "I have been to your company, and I heard that you resigned."

"You are too tactful, wouldn't it be better to just say dismissal?" Ye Chuxiao laughed at himself.

A trace of pity flashed in Chen Ze's eyes: "Let's talk about that matter that President Lu said."

"I'm not in the mood." Ye Chuxiao forcefully wanted to close the door, but he blocked it with his hand: "In your current situation, losing your child is inevitable, unless you have property to support you."

Ye Chuxiao was taken aback for a moment, and Chen Ze looked at her deeply: "From my professional standpoint, I shouldn't have said this to you, but..." He sighed: "You Apart from accepting Shuiyun Pavilion, I really have no choice."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Ye Chuxiao stood there for a while, then slowly closed the door, returned to the darkness alone, fell down and sat by the bed, absent-minded for a long time...

The next day, the job application emails she sent out were still gone. She couldn't sit still at home and started to go to the streets to see if there was any place to recruit, but searching aimlessly like this was like finding a needle in a haystack. no effect.

And this day was Friday, Mi Lier's holiday. On her way to school, she stared blankly at the street scenes sliding past the window one by one, almost desperate.

But when she saw Mi Lier, she still forced herself to smile, and when she got home, Mi Lier was the same as usual, tired of her acting like a baby.

Ye Chuxiao accompanied her with a smile, but her heart was filled with soreness.

At night, Mi Lier fell asleep in her arms, with her face attached to her chest.

Ye Chuxiao wanted to hug her tightly, but was afraid that she would not sleep well, so she could only wrap her around her gently, and gradually fell asleep until late at night.

But in the dream, it was the scene where the court pronounced the verdict. Qi Zhen left with Mi Lier in her arms. She cried and stretched out her hand to call for her mother, with one sound, heart-piercing...

Ye Chuxiao woke up from the dream. When she realized that Mi Lier was still by her side, she couldn't help feeling sad and happy. She pressed her forehead against her forehead and gasped for breath.Mi Lier didn't know it, but when her mother was close to her, she wrapped her chubby arms around her neck, as if she was sleeping soundly.

"Mi Lier..." She kissed the child in a low voice, her eyes filled with tears...

The next morning, she got up first, went outside the door and called Lawyer Sun.

After hearing her talk about the current situation, Lawyer Sun was silent for a long time before speaking, his voice was very low: "Chu Xiao, next time we go to court, I'm afraid our chances of winning are not great."

Her words were very tactful, but Ye Chuxiao understood the meaning, and the last hope in her heart darkened.

After finishing the call and returning to the room, she sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking Mi Lier's face, tears finally fell, hot drops fell on Mi Lier's face, she woke up and found that Ye Chuxiao was Crying, she immediately hugged her in a panic: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

She couldn't answer, she just shook her head desperately, trying to wipe away the tears, but she couldn't wipe them dry, and they couldn't stop falling down.

That day, Mi Lier seemed to realize something, she was very obedient, no matter what Ye Chuxiao did or how she persuaded her, she always followed her closely, as if she would lose her mother in a blink of an eye.

Ye Chuxiao looked at her with a heart-wrenching pain.

At night, Mi Lier finally fell asleep, but before going to bed, she still looked at her anxiously and asked, "Mom, you won't go?"

"No." Ye Chuxiao held back tears and squeezed her little face: "Mom won't give up on you, mom will be with you forever."

Mi Lier then closed her eyes and fell asleep grabbing the hem of her clothes.

The winter night was so cold, but it couldn't cool her heart.

Despair and desolation, like a dense thread, wrapped her heart tightly, tightening it inch by inch.

She has been forced to breathe no longer by this cruel reality.

She can't give up Mi Lier, no matter what, she can't give up Mi Lier.

Sitting like a puppet in the middle of the night, she wrote a text message with trembling fingertips:
OK, I accept your breakup fee.

The moment the send button was pressed, a self-deprecating and sad smile appeared on her lips...
