It is right to persuade them to reconcile rather than to separate, but that also depends on the situation. If it were him, he would definitely want to kill the other person.

On the way back, Yang Tao was still indignant and cursed Duan Xifeng, feeling sorry for her cousin.

Zhou Chen prepared the divorce agreement the next day, and at Su Qing's instructions, went to find Duan Xifeng.

"Is Qing'er really going to do this?"

Duan Xifeng took a look at the divorce agreement and threw it away. He wanted to get angry, but when he saw Zhou Chen's eyes, he suppressed his anger.

What happened yesterday made him feel very guilty towards Zhou Chen, so naturally he didn't have the face to get angry with Zhou Chen.

"I just came to you according to Sister Qing's instructions. It's your business whether you sign or not." Zhou Chen said coldly.

Duan Xifeng looked desperate: "Zhou Chen, can you please plead for me? Please ask Taozi to plead for me as well. You know everything about me. I really didn't mean to do it. I was forced into it. As long as Qing'er doesn't divorce me, I promise to resolve the matter."

Zhou Chen didn’t believe it at all. If Duan Xifeng could solve it, what happened yesterday would not have happened.

He was really disgusted yesterday. It was good enough that he didn't fall out with Duan Xifeng. How could he plead for him?

Seeing that Zhou Chen refused, Duan Xifeng held his head with both hands, in great pain, and muttered to himself, talking about his past with Su Qing and how much he regretted it.

Zhou Chen just listened to him nagging for more than an hour before Duan Xifeng slowly calmed down. He then picked up the divorce agreement again and signed it.

"I agree to divorce. Go back and tell Qing'er that I will leave the house with nothing. All my savings and the house will be given to her as my compensation to her."

Zhou Chen nodded, and before leaving, he still said something.

"Let me give you a piece of advice. That woman of yours is not a good person. You already know that she is a hostess in the bar, but you still do that to her. I really don't know what you want. She said the baby in her belly is yours, does that mean it must be yours? If you don't want the baby, then forget it. But if you do, I advise you to go to the hospital for a check-up. Even if you are pregnant, you can still do a paternity test."

After saying that, Zhou Chen turned around and left.

He really couldn't understand what Duan Xifeng did. How could he not understand such a simple truth?

He believed a woman he could easily sleep with when she said she was pregnant with his child. He also believed her when she said she could no longer get pregnant after having an abortion.

But what does this mean? It means that she has had too many abortions. If she were a virgin, how could she be so fragile?

Anyway, he didn't believe that Deng Jiajia was pregnant with Duan Xifeng's child. The more likely possibility was that Deng Jiajia knew that if she aborted the child, she would never be able to get pregnant in the future, so she set her sights on Duan Xifeng.

A man who has a house, a car, money, a good job, and is easy to cheat, isn't he the perfect choice to be the scapegoat? If not him, who else can you find?

From Deng Jiajia's various behaviors, it can be seen that this possibility is absolutely infinite, and only people like Duan Xifeng would be deceived by her.

Chapter 113 Preparing to Propose Marriage (Update!)

Su Qing and Duan Xifeng eventually divorced. When they went to go through the divorce procedures, Su Qing didn't say a word to Duan Xifeng. Even though Duan Xifeng kept begging, it was of no avail and the procedures were still completed.

After the divorce, Duan Xifeng gave all his savings and house to Su Qing and left the house with nothing.

But Su Qing did not return home to live, but continued to stay in the Yang family and live with Xue Sumei.

This incident had a great impact on the Yang family, but Su Qing, as the protagonist, looked calm and composed, and Xue Sumei and Yang Tao could only follow her.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

During this period, Duan Xifeng never appeared again, and Zhou Chen and others tacitly agreed not to mention this person, but Yang Tao often complained to Zhou Chen.

She said how hard it would be to wait for Su Qing to give birth to the child, and how miserable it would be for the child to be without a father...

Zhou Chen couldn't give an answer, because this was someone else's business, he couldn't decide, and he couldn't change it.

The last incident did not have much impact on the bridal shop. To be precise, the bridal shop had only been open for more than two months and there were not many customers, so it was not affected.

During this period, Zhou Chen also accomplished one thing, which was buying a house.

It was the house opposite Yang Tao's house. After nearly two months of negotiations, the other party finally couldn't stand Zhou Chen and chose to sell it even though Zhou Chen added 50,000 yuan.

Xue Sumei was very happy about this matter. She prepared a table with more than a dozen dishes that day to reward Zhou Chen well, which could also be said to be a celebration.

After buying the house, the next natural thing was to start decorating it. Zhou Chen decided to tear down all the original decorations in the house, designed a set of design plans himself, and found the master who helped to decorate the bridal shop last time to redecorate the house.

Zhou Chen was planning to use this house as his new home, so he naturally wouldn't make do with anything less. Therefore, he personally decided on the purchase of materials, and then asked Xue Sumei to oversee the decoration.

Xue Sumei was very happy and took the job without hesitation.

"Taozi, I want to marry you, and I have decided to propose to your family."

That night, Zhou Chen hugged Yang Tao and suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yang Tao sat up suddenly, ignoring her own sudden glory, and asked in surprise: "Are you serious?"

She has been living with Zhou Chen for more than two months, and in fact, she has been waiting for Zhou Chen to say such words.

Although she believed that Zhou Chen would marry her, it was only a matter of time, but she was not young anymore and really wanted to get married.

Especially after what happened with Duan Xifeng, she became a little scared. She wanted to get married, but she was worried.

Now that Zhou Chen said he wanted to go to her house to propose marriage, she was naturally surprised and happy.

Zhou Chen: "Of course it's true. I've always wanted to marry you, but the house wasn't ready before and the bridal shop had just opened, so I didn't have time. But now that the house has been bought, the bridal shop can be developed slowly. I think the timing is just right now."

Yang Tao was happy in her heart, but she still asked seriously: "Have you really thought it through? If you marry me, there will be no room for regret. I am different from my cousin. If you marry me and betray me in the future, I will die with you. I am serious."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I won't. In this world, I won't like any other woman except you, and I won't do anything to betray you."

Yang Tao immediately threw herself on him, hugged him tightly, tears streaming down her face. She was crying with joy.

"I have been waiting for you to say marry me, and now I have finally gotten it. Zhou Chen, I love you so much. I really, really love you."

After saying that, Yang Tao suddenly sat up, pressed Zhou Chen down, and whispered in his ear: "I'll reward you tonight..."

…………

Since he had decided to propose marriage, Zhou Chen naturally had to make some preparations.

If when he first came to this world, he was more motivated by the desire to complete a mission, then now, after having been with Yang Tao for such a long time, he sincerely wanted to marry Yang Tao and he had truly fallen in love with this woman.

Zhou Chen and Yang Tao were in love, but they didn't have a real matchmaker, and he didn't have any family in this world, so he had to propose marriage himself.

Proposing marriage requires a gift money, also known as a betrothal gift. Originally, this should be discussed with the woman's side, but Yang Tao told Zhou Chen to decide for himself and just give it as a token of his appreciation, and her mother wouldn't care.

Having said that, Zhou Chen certainly couldn't just be polite. If he wanted to formally marry Yang Tao, he naturally had to give Yang Tao enough respect.

Therefore, if conditions permit, he will prepare everything that is necessary.

On August 8th, Zhou Chen dressed neatly and went to Yang Tao's house with a car full of gifts.

"Mom, are you okay? Zhou Chen will be here soon."

Yang Tao stood in front of the door of the current bedroom, urging anxiously.

Zhou Chen is coming to propose marriage and give gifts today, and he has already informed Xue Sumei in advance, so Xue Sumei started preparing early in the morning. She is now changing clothes in the bedroom, but she has been changing for half an hour, which makes Yang Tao very anxious.

"Okay, it will be ready soon. Look how anxious you are. Do you really want to get married?"

Xue Sumei's voice came from inside, and Yang Tao said helplessly: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that you're too slow."

Su Qing came over and pulled Yang Tao to sit on the sofa: "Taozi, Auntie has been waiting for this day for many years, just let her take her time, there is no rush anyway."

It has been almost two months since the divorce, and Su Qing has recovered a lot. With the guidance of Xue Sumei and Yang Tao, she is in a good mood.

It’s just that my belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I’m due in about three months.

Su Qing held Yang Tao's hands and whispered, "Taozi, Zhou Chen is a good man. You have to hold on to him. I hope that after you get married, you can always love each other. Don't be like me. You have to be vigilant. Once you find any problems, you have to solve them in time. Do you understand?"

Yang Tao felt very sad when she heard that her cousin used her as a negative example.

"Sister, I understand. Don't think too much about it. You should be happy because you will have your own baby soon. He will be very cute."

Su Qing stroked her belly. She could feel that the little guy in her belly was connected to her by blood. It was a feeling she had never experienced before.

As they were talking, Xue Sumei walked out of the bedroom. She was wearing a red cheongsam and a white shawl, looking particularly festive.

"Qing'er, Taozi, how do you like Mom's outfit?"

When Taozi saw her mother wearing a cheongsam, she covered her mouth in surprise, "Mom, when did you buy this cheongsam? Why have I never seen you wear it before?"

Su Qing explained: "My aunt bought this two days ago, just for today. How about it? It looks good, right?"

"It looks beautiful, really beautiful." Yang Tao praised repeatedly.

Xue Sumei immediately smiled: "As long as it looks good, Taozi, even though your mother is old, her taste is no worse than you young people, hehe."

As he said this, he turned around twice, appearing very happy.

After being conceited, Xue Sumei sat down and asked Yang Tao curiously, "Taozi, you said Xiao Zhou came to propose marriage today and prepared gifts. Do you know what he bought?"

Yang Tao shook her head: "I really don't know, because he personally took care of all these things. I asked him to buy some, but he said I didn't need to ask, so I didn't dare to ask again."

Xue Sumei looked at Yang Tao with dissatisfaction: "Child, you didn't even bother to discuss such a big thing with me. What if the things he bought are not practical?"

"Aunt, don't worry about this. No matter what Zhou Chen bought, just keep it. I think Zhou Chen must have a plan in mind."

Su Qing could see that Xue Sumei was nervous, so she spoke to comfort her.

Xue Sumei nodded and said, "Yes, yes, anything is fine. It's just a token of my appreciation. The main thing is his marriage to Taozi. That's the most important thing."

Chapter 114: Sky-high Price Gift List

"Boom, boom, boom!"

There was a knock on the door, which startled the mother and daughter in the living room, especially Yang Tao.

"Mom, it must be Zhou Chen. I'll go open the door."

Yang Tao ran to the door quickly, and Xue Sumei and Su Qing also stood up and walked towards the door.

As soon as Yang Tao opened the door, she saw Zhou Chen carrying a lot of bags. Her bright eyes were immediately filled with light. She pursed her lips, looking very happy, yet trying to control her emotions.

"Zhou Chen, you're here."

Zhou Chen blinked at Yang Tao, making Yang Tao even more shy.

Although they have lived together for a long time and are very close to each other, the problem is that they were two people at that time, but today Zhou Chen came to propose marriage and has to face her mother and relatives, which makes her feel even more complicated.

"Xiao Zhou is here, come in quickly."

Xue Sumei said to Zhou Chen with a smile on her face.

"Auntie, excuse me."

Zhou Chen walked into the living room carrying things, and then placed everything in his hands on the coffee table.

After sitting down, Zhou Chen didn't know how to start talking, even though they had been chatting very smoothly when they were together before.

But today he came to propose marriage, and he didn't bring any elders or matchmakers with him, so he was really confused about what to say. Even if he had thought of some words before, he didn't know how to say them for a moment.

In the end, it was Su Qing who spoke to ease the awkward atmosphere, and Zhou Chen immediately followed up with his words. After chatting for a while, Zhou Chen took out the gift list he had prepared long ago and handed it to Xue Sumei.

Xue Sumei didn't hesitate to take the gift list and opened it.

Just like that, her expression froze for a moment. She saw on the gift list:

188 million bride price;

A Porsche Panamera;

Gift cakes;

Jewelry: necklace, earrings, bracelets...

…………

Below is a pile of items. These were all things Zhou Chen bought after asking for advice from others. The most expensive items were naturally the betrothal gifts and the car. These were all for Yang Tao, so Zhou Chen was very generous.

However, all this was too shocking for Xue Sumei. The gift list was worth several million dollars. She had never seen such a situation before. She was stunned for a long time without saying a word.

It wasn't until Su Qing pushed her twice that she reacted.

"Xiao Zhou, this is too much, isn't it?"

Although she was very concerned about her reputation and wanted her daughter to live a good life, she still did not expect Zhou Chen to be so generous.

She has lived for so many years, and except for seeing this kind of dowry on TV, she has never heard of it in the real world. This is too scary.

Zhou Chen smiled and replied: "Auntie, this is my intention, please don't refuse."

Xue Sumei said in embarrassment: "How can we return the gift if you do this?"

After hearing this, Yang Tao immediately covered her face. After all this time, she was embarrassed about how to return the gift.
