Along the way, Pei Donglai was silent. Bai Xiaoran wanted to comfort him, but seeing Pei Donglai's expression, he swallowed his words again.
When they arrived at the gate of the community, Pei Dong came and said, "Go back."
After not hearing the sound of the car door opening for a long time, Pei Donglai turned his head and saw Bai Xiaoran burst into tears and became a tearful person.
"Xiaoran, it's not your fault, don't cry." Pei Donglai reached into the back seat and took a tissue to Bai Xiaoran.
After a long time, Bai Xiaoran finally said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I ruined your happiness."
"Xiao Ran, don't you see? Even without you, they would still drive me away. They just found a high-sounding excuse."
After several comforts, Bai Xiaoran reluctantly got off the car and went home.
After sending Bai Xiaoran away, Pei Donglai drove around on the street. He didn't want to go back to that home.
Arriving at the door of a bar, Pei Donglai slowly stopped the car and walked in. The beautiful waiter took Pei Donglai to a corner booth. Pei Donglai ordered a beer, ordered two plates of snacks, and started drinking.
While he was drinking, the phone rang. Pei Donglai slid down to answer it. The other party said, "Where is it?"
"Small Town Story"
"I'll be there soon"
"You...", the other party has hung up.
More than 20 minutes later, a tall and burly man walked into "Small Town Story".
The visitor is Li Yunfeng, Pei Donglai's college classmate and his good brother in the same dormitory.
Li Yunfeng picked up a bottle of beer and drank it in one gulp. After putting the bottle down, Pei Donglai asked, "When did you come back?"
"I haven't gotten home yet tonight."
Li Yunfeng went on a business trip some time ago to discuss a business deal with a family business. He had been away for more than two months.
After drinking three bottles, Li Yunfeng slowly spoke, "Do you really want a divorce?"
"How did you know?"
Li Yunfeng smiled and asked, "Can Jiangcheng's affairs escape my notice?"
Although Li Yunfeng's family cannot be said to be the most powerful in Jiangcheng, they are still ranked among the top 10. Mr. Li is a great man and has a background in both black and white circles in Jiangcheng. Li Yunfeng has the style of an old man and is definitely his biological son.
Pei Donglai told Li Yunfeng what happened in the past few days under the influence of alcohol. When Li Yunfeng heard this, he didn't have to think silently. He first said, "It's Zhou Defei's fault. Xiaojie is not that kind of person."
"But her mother is," Pei Donglai said.
Mother Lin used to be the head of a certain bureau. After staying in that position for a long time, she would inevitably look at people with colored eyes, especially for children from ordinary families like Pei Donglai.
The son-in-law that Lin's mother had set her sights on happened to be Li Yunfeng. Li Yunfeng's family was well-established and talented. Lin Xiaojie was tall and beautiful. She had received a good education since she was a child. She was well-educated and well-educated. Lin's mother felt that the two of them were a perfect match.
It would be a lie to say that the two of them didn't call, but Li Yunfeng deliberately stayed away from Lin Xiaojie after he knew that Lin Xiaojie was with his brother. He was definitely not someone who would take advantage of others.
But Zhou Defei was different. He only had jealousy and hatred in his eyes. He was always looking for opportunities and wanted to take advantage of them, even if Lin Xiaojie was married.
Knowing that Lin Xiaojie wanted to open a law firm, Zhou Defei felt that the opportunity had come, and helped her with everything, invested a lot of money, and attracted a lot of business. At first, Lin Xiaojie was unwilling to accept his offer in order to avoid suspicion, but in the end she still accepted it. I can't let a villain like Zhou Defei work hard.
After Lin Xiaojie opened the law firm, Pei Donglai couldn't do any specific help. He could only do housework and the like, and he couldn't get involved in work matters. Over time, the relationship between the two faded away. In the face of reality, no matter how hard it was, Pei Donglai Vigorous love is not worth mentioning either.
Li Yunfeng saw that Pei Dong had finished drinking and said, "I'll take you home."
Pei Donglai smiled bitterly: "Do I still have a home?"
Li Yunfeng: "You should find some time to talk to Xiaojie alone. I think she must have difficulties, maybe you just don't know."
After returning home, there was still no one in the house. Pei Donglai walked to the bedroom and accidentally opened the wardrobe. He only saw a few clothes in it that Lin Xiaojie had not worn for a long time. The others were gone. It seemed that Lin Xiaojie was determined to get a divorce. .
Looking at the wedding photos on the bedside, Pei Donglai felt very regretful and ironic.
The next day, when Pei Dong came to the office, it was already 10 o'clock. He saw Li Xiaohua dressed up and sitting on his boss's chair with his legs crossed.
"Mr. Li, is something wrong?"
"Why did you come to work just now?"
"I drank too much with my client last night."
Li Xiaohua smiled half-heartedly, looked down on Pei Donglai, and said seriously: "Are you late or absent from work today?"
Pei Donglai stared at Li Xiaohua and said, "When did attendance fall under the control of the sales department?"
Li Xiaohua stood up, approached Pei Donglai, raised her chest and raised her head, her waist almost touching Pei Donglai's stomach, and looked at each other for two seconds.
She said: "I will give your direct response to your words to the leader, we will see." After speaking, Li Xiaohua twisted her buttocks and left.
Not long after Pei Donglai sat down, Accountant Zhang walked into the president's office and whispered: "President Pei, you are finally here. Didn't you see how arrogant Li Xiaohua was just now? She first scolded us, and then scolded you behind your back for your inaction. He said he would remove you from your post."
"The villain succeeds".
When he was about to get off work, Pei Donglai opened the communication on his mobile phone and turned to the page of "Baby Wife". He stayed there for a long time and felt sad.
Finally, she dialed, and this time Lin Xiaojie answered the call quickly, but did not speak.
After three seconds of silence, Pei Donglai spoke first: "Do you have time? I'll wait for you at Small Town Story."
"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour." After saying this, Lin Xiaojie hung up the phone.
Pei Donglai arrived first, and after drinking a bottle of beer, Lin Xiaojie walked into the small town story.
After sitting down, the two looked at each other. Pei Donglai saw tears in Lin Xiaojie's eyes.
Lin Xiaojie lowered her head and said slowly: "Donglai, I'm sorry", then reached out and pulled off a tissue to wipe her eyes.
Pei Donglai stretched out his hand to hold Lin Xiaojie's hand, and slowly pulled it to his mouth. When he was almost close, Lin Xiaojie suddenly withdrew his hand, and it took a long time to hold back the words: "Let's get divorced."
After a few seconds of silence, Pei Donglai said calmly: "Are you in love with Zhou Defei?"
Lin Xiaojie neither admitted nor denied, saying, "Do you know how hard it is for a woman to work outside?"
"Xiaojie, can you stop opening an office? I can support you and I will make you happy," Pei Donglai said excitedly.
Lin Xiaojie shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
Although Pei Donglai could support Lin Xiaojie, he could only solve the problem of food and clothing with his meager salary. Compared with a young man like Zhou Defei, it was a distance from the earth to the moon.
Everyone has the right to pursue their own happy life, even if they are married. He does not blame Lin Xiaojie for coveting glory and wealth, but blames himself for not having the ability.
