Xiaowo remained silent. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be recalling something.
The more Xu Zhiyi thought about it, the more he realized that this was not an accident, and hurriedly said: "Xiaowo, tell me about that day..."
"Forget it, Sister Zhiyi, forget it." Xiaowo's eyes were empty and his face was pale. "Now that things have happened, there is no point in asking whether it was intentional or not. I have made up my mind and will not change."
Seeing her like that, Xu Zhiyi couldn't say any more, so he said a few harmless words to her, stood up and left.
It's the end of February in the Gregorian calendar, and it's past the beginning of spring. Hangzhou is a southern city, and spring comes earlier than the Acropolis, so spring is everywhere.
At this time, her mood was in the Acropolis, cold and dry.
Walking aimlessly on the street, Xu Zhiyi kept thinking about what Xiaowo said.
She was thinking, what would she do if she was in a situation like Xiaowo?
On the one hand, my mother has been subjected to domestic violence for a long time.
On the other hand, because he did not want to be forced into marriage by his father, he also caused his mother to be abused again, but he, the initiator, was powerless.
No, that’s not the right way to think.
Xiaowo was not the initiator. She was obviously a poor victim. The real initiator was her bastard father.
Now, their mother and daughter finally escaped from that bastard's clutches with the help of their relatives. What should she do if something like this happens again?
Are you going to ask your relatives for help again?
Which relative should I turn to for help?
To her?
What can she do to help them both?
In the end, it still fell on Octavia.
However, Octavia has already helped them, how can he help them?
She and Octavia can only help them so far.
No one can help her regarding Xiaowo and Wang Yue, she can only make her own choice.
But besides marrying Wang Yue, does she have a better choice?
Xu Zhiyi thought about it over and over again, but from Xiaowo's perspective, he still couldn't make this choice.
In that case, bless her.
Although this blessing is somewhat sad.
At this time, she clearly realized that she and Xiaowo were different.
totally different.
Because, with Xu Cheng and Li Zijuan here, they would never allow her and Xu Zhian to experience what happened in the nest.
Her parents wouldn't let her get into such a bad situation.
Even for Octavia, she had the right to say no when she made the choice at that time.
After she says no, she will not fall into a miserable place in life, it will just be another kind of life.
Not necessarily that bad.
Growing up, her parents tried their best to make her live a decent life.
They did it.
Compared with Xiaowo, she and Xu Zhian were really lucky.
Thinking of this, she dialed Xu Cheng's number.
"dad……"
This "Dad" she called was extremely affectionate.
After that, Xu Ying looked for her and Octavia several times, but she sent them back.
She never looked for Xiaowo again, nor did she persuade Xu Ying to accept Xiaowo's marriage.
She asked Xu Cheng and Li Zijuan for their opinions.
They said that she and Octavia should stop caring about this matter. Even if they wanted to persuade Xu Ying, it was not for her as a junior to say anything. Let them talk to Xu Ying.
A month later, Xiaowo's marriage was decided, and Wang Yue gave Xu Ying a gift of 500,000 yuan. The specific wedding date could not be decided yet, and would have to wait until Xu Ying got divorced.
This is the decision of the nest.
Her wedding to Wang Yue will be held in Acropolis. If Xu Ying's marriage is not divorced, her bastard father will come to make trouble for money.
She wanted to marry in style and didn't want something so disgusting to happen to her wedding.
Fortunately, just a few days after the marriage was finalized, Xu Ying's divorce case came to court.
Xiaowo and her three sisters all testified in court, and there were also videos and police records. In addition, Xu Ying's medical records of beatings were obtained. The fact of domestic violence was confirmed by sufficient evidence.
It just so happened that one of Xu Cheng's students was the president of the court. After greeting him, the presiding judge did not waste any more time. Within a week after the court session, Xu Ying received the judgment granting her divorce.
The reason why she was sentenced to divorce so quickly was that in addition to the fact that the domestic violence was clear and the evidence was conclusive, Xu Ying only wanted divorce and had no other demands.
It can be regarded as a cleansing and leaving home.
The other party was dissatisfied with the judgment and appealed to the Intermediate People's Court. After consulting a lawyer, they found out that Xu Ying was the respondent this time. If the court did not come to court, the court would only make a judgment in absentia, which would not affect anything.
After that, Xu Ying and her four daughters ignored the case and prepared for the wedding in Xiaowo.
Xiaowo's wedding is scheduled for May 18th.
Xu Zhiyi specially took Xiaowo to the store where she got her engagement dress, and ordered a set of wedding clothes for Xiaowo that she liked. The color was also traditional Chinese red.
This is what she promised Xiaowo.
On the day of the wedding trial, Xu Zhiyi and Wang Yue went with Xiaowo.
Since the nest was moved out from Su Yingxue's place, there has been no contact between them.
Xiaowo said that if possible, she would never want to say a word to Su Yingxue again in her life.
The 22-year-old Xiao Wo is really fresh and fresh. Wearing the traditional Chinese red wedding dress, she looks just like the beautiful female doll in the New Year pictures.
Looking at Wang Yue, who looks like an uncle, no matter how you look at it, they are not a good match.
Those who didn’t know better thought they were father and daughter.
36-year-old Wang Yue is a standard science and engineering man, and his appearance is indeed old-fashioned.
I heard from Octavia that he works very hard and has strong professional abilities. Otherwise, Octavia would not choose him as the project team leader.
His current income ranks among the top ten in both the Northwest Division and the Hangzhou Branch, so he has no problem raising a nest.
After trying on wedding clothes, the three of them had a meal together. During the meal, they talked about where they would settle down in the future. Wang Yue hesitated and said:
"After Xiaowo and I got married, we temporarily lived in Hangcheng. When this project is completed, we have to wait and see the notice. If the Northwest Division really moves to Pingcheng, Xiaowo and I may settle there."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi was shocked, "The Northwest Division is moving from Aicheng to Pingcheng? Who did you listen to?"
Wang Yue looked confused, "This is the decision of the board of directors of the Shanghai headquarters. It was officially issued a week ago and the entire company knows about it."
Xiaowo didn't understand and said: "Sister Zhiyi, didn't my cousin-in-law tell you? All the staff in our cafeteria know about it."
Xu Zhiyi felt very uncomfortable inside and forced a smile, "Your cousin-in-law never tells me about his work, saying he doesn't want me to worry about it."
This is really not a face-saving statement, it is indeed the case.
She really didn't care whether Octavia told her or not about work matters.
But the company's relocation was related to their future lives. He didn't even tell her this, which really made her angry.
If she hadn't known about this from Wang Yue, he probably wouldn't have told her on his own initiative.
Should he wait until the company moves to Pingcheng before telling her?
Although she was very unhappy after knowing this, today was a happy event for Xiaowo, and her joy could not be dampened because of her reasons.
After dinner, Wang Yue and Xiaowo took her home first.
After getting off Wang Yue's car and watching them drive away, Xu Zhiyi's face instantly darkened.
She hurried back to 2701, and Octavia was at home.
