These words were like a heavy punch in Mu Wanqing's heart, causing her whole body to suddenly hurt and she almost fainted.
Although she is determined to get a divorce, no biological mother can accept the thought of her children accepting someone else as their stepmother.
What's more, Lu Kejun's words sounded malicious.
She stared at Lu Kejun coldly, but hesitated to speak.
Lu Kejun looked at her like this and knew that he had gotten back a win. His look like a proud princess became even more arrogant, and then he shook his head and walked away.
Zhou Yiru looked at her worriedly, "Xiaoqing, don't be affected by her words. Wen Zhan will not let his children be bullied and abused. She said this deliberately to hurt you."
Mu Wanqing blinked and let out a sudden sigh of relief, feeling dark and damp.
"Brother Zhou, go and do your work. I want to go for a walk alone..." she said weakly.
Zhou Yiru was worried, "I'll accompany you."
"No."
Mu Wanqing refused without hesitation. When she was about to turn around and walk away, she suddenly remembered something and looked back at the man. "Brother Zhou, thank you for your help these days. I can't repay you. I can only wait to earn some money in the future." I will return the money to you with interest."
She suddenly said this for no reason, and Zhou Yiru immediately understood what she meant.
"Xiao Qing——" Zhou Yiru quickly stopped her and took a step forward. Juan's elegant and graceful face showed a hint of heaviness in the sunshine, "Did Wen Zhan tell you something?"
After he had a "one-on-one" fight with Wen Zhan that night, Wen Zhan threatened him before leaving with Mu Wanqing, mentioning his "child" who was far away abroad.
He didn't know if Wen Zhan told Mu Wanqing about this.
If he told him, she would definitely misunderstand and veto him because she had a so-called "illegitimate child".
After thinking about it for a few days, he decided that regardless of whether Wen Zhan told her about it or not, he should take the initiative to explain it himself.
When Mu Wanqing heard this question, she raised her eyelashes and understood what he was referring to.
"It seems he told you..." Zhou Yiru smiled faintly, a little helpless, paused and continued, "There is a misunderstanding about this matter. I do have a child abroad, but it is only a father-son relationship in the legal sense. It’s not a biological father-son relationship, I’m related to..."
When Mu Wanqing heard him explain so seriously, she felt not relieved, but even more panicked.
His explanation showed that there were indeed expectations for the relationship between the two, but she did not mean it.
"Brother Zhou, you don't need to explain this. There is no need to explain your past clearly to me. No matter what the facts are, it is your privacy." She interrupted Zhou Yiru, not wanting to hear him analyze his past.
The light in Zhou Yiru's eyes suddenly dimmed a bit.
"Brother Zhou, go ahead and do your work. I'll just walk around and nothing will happen." Mu Wanqing couldn't bear to see the disappointment on his face. She lowered her eyes after saying this and turned around to leave without waiting for his response.
The pain caused by this short marriage may take the rest of her life to heal.
It's not that Zhou Yiru is bad, it's that she has lost the ability to love.
She has been hurt and knows how painful and difficult it is, so she is even less willing to hurt others.
Instead of being a couple, they might become lifelong confidants.
If you become a couple, you may end up with a pair of resentful couples.

After separating from Zhou Yiru, Mu Wanqing walked alone on the street.
Standing in the busy traffic, a deep sense of sadness came to her heart. Looking at the speeding vehicles, for a moment, she wanted to rush in and die.
But then I thought about it, if I die, I will die. It is too immoral to hurt others if I bump into it like this.
The negative pessimism lasted for a while, and she turned around and walked aimlessly down the street.
The New Year is approaching, and the streets and lanes are beginning to be filled with a strong New Year flavor.
It was a day for family reunion, but now she was left alone. This year, it was nothing more than nothing.
After hanging out for an unknown amount of time, Yu Qiao called.
"Where are you? Have you had lunch? When will you be back?" Yu Qiao received a tip from Zhou Yiru and learned that she was wandering out alone. She was worried that something had happened and asked her to call to ask.
Mu Wanqing looked up and looked around, and saw the tall building across the street. She probably knew where it was and told Yu Qiao.
"It's nice there! I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I'll come over to find you. You go shopping with me to buy some clothes. The Chinese New Year is coming soon and the child must have new clothes." Yu Qiao said happily, deliberately ignoring her disappointed mood.
Before Mu Wanqing could reply, the call was hung up.
Chinese New Year is coming soon, I have to buy new clothes for my children...
With these words echoing in her ears, she suddenly thought of what Wen Zhan had just said, asking her to make an appointment with Aunt Zhou tomorrow to take the children out to play.
It just so happened that as a mother, she should also buy new clothes for her children - although they did not lack them, this was her own wish.
She hadn't eaten lunch yet and was a little tired from walking. Mu Wanqing simply sat on the bench at the bus stop and waited.
This area is a bustling area in the city center, with many luxury cars coming and going.
When a BMW with a foreign license plate passed by, the woman sitting in the back seat suddenly straightened up and pressed against the window: "Stop! Stop!"
The driver was startled, looked in the rear mirror and replied: "Mr. Yang, parking is not allowed here."
"I told you to stop the car!" the woman called Mr. Yang commanded in a loud voice.
The driver had no choice but to change lanes from the traffic and pull over.
Yang Cuizhu opened the car door and got out, trotting on her pointed high heels towards the bus stop.
However, when she ran over, the person sitting on the bench was gone.
She looked around, looking everywhere, but in the vast sea of people, coming and going in such a hurry, she never saw that figure again.
The male assistant sitting in the passenger seat also caught up and asked in confusion: "Mr. Yang, what did you see?"
Yang Cuizhu replied: "I saw a girl who looked very much like my daughter..."
The assistant said: "Is this... a mistake? How could it be such a coincidence?"
They had been in Chongcheng for a few days, and after reporting the missing person to the police, there had been no news.
Chongcheng is a first-tier city with a population of over 20 million. Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack - not to mention that they can't remember the person's appearance, so it is even more difficult to find him.
Yang Cuizhu stood on the bus stop and sighed quietly: "Qingqing must be in Chongcheng...must be..."
At this time, Mu Wanqing had already entered the mall and met Yu Qiao.
"I've heard about the court session in the morning. I can't divorce you this time, and there will be another time - I know that generally when you file for divorce, you won't get divorce the first time, but you will most likely get divorce the second time." Yu Joe comforted her.
Mu Wanqing shook her head, her whole body filled with frustration, "Even if we can divorce the second time, we will have to sue after half a year..."
She didn't want to waste it.
On such days, spending even one more day is torture.
Yu Qiao didn't know what to say, so he could only take her to eat first.
After sitting down in a Western restaurant, Mu Wanqing thought of something, raised her eyes and asked, "Brother Zhou called you and asked you to come to me, right?"
Since Yu Qiao already knows about the morning court session, it means that he has contacted Zhou Yiru.
Yu Qiao smiled and pretended to be relaxed, "I really can't hide anything from you! Seeing that you understand each other so well, you seem to be in harmony."
Mu Wanqing said bluntly: "I told him again this morning that I have no other ideas. After the divorce, I want to live on my own and concentrate on my career. I will be satisfied if I can have my children living with me from time to time." .”
Yu Qiao herself was not in good relationships, and she had already seen through men. Hearing this, she didn’t try to persuade her, but instead said straightforwardly: “I just want you to concentrate on your career. You are my money tree! Men are at best the spices of life. , don’t treat it as a staple food.”
Indeed, men are at most the spice of life, not the staple food.
If a love brain treats men as a staple food, she will most likely have to hide her life.
After shopping all afternoon, Yu Qiao bought a lot of beautiful clothes, both her own and her daughter's. She was very dissatisfied when she saw that Mu Wanqing didn't want to buy anything and finally picked up a few baby clothes.
"It's almost the Chinese New Year, why don't you buy something for yourself?"
Mu Wanqing shook her head repeatedly: "I have enough clothes."
She has no pursuit of dressing, as long as it is comfortable and practical. Those glamorous outfits are troublesome and expensive for her.
But Yu Qiao didn't allow it.
"We made a good profit from this deal, why don't we treat it as a reward for ourselves? And we will go out to discuss cooperation in the future. If you don't have decent clothes, how can you make people believe in our aesthetic and fashion abilities?"
Yu Qiao probably knew why she was reluctant to spend money, and wanted to save as much money as possible to plan for her future life.
"Let's go to this store. You can try it on and I'll pay if you like it." Yu Qiao was very proud and pulled her into a women's clothing boutique and asked the shopping guide to come up and choose clothes for her.
"Qiaoqiao, I really don't need... I have clothes to wear, and even if I have to buy them, I can buy them myself without your help -"
Mu Wanqing was embarrassed, but Yu Qiao didn't give her a chance to refuse.
In the end, Mu Wanqing was forced to buy two shiny new clothes. She stood in front of the mirror and felt really energetic.
"You have to let some people see that you can live a more energetic and nourished life without him, instead of being listless and slovenly." Yu Qiao said as she walked out of the store after rushing to help her pay the bill.
Mu Wanqing didn't say anything, but she believed it in her heart.
Wen Zhan did say it several times, saying that she had to get divorced just to live a hard life?
of course not.
Therefore, it is indeed necessary to dress yourself up and change your look.
She was very lucky to have met Yu Qiao, a friend who was independent, self-reliant and had personality, so that she could avoid many detours when entering the big dye vat of society.
————
Mu Wanqing did not have the courage to go back to Yujingwan to see the children, so she had to discuss with Aunt Zhou and let Aunt Zhou bring the children to the apartment.
Yu Qiao has never seen two children before. She is very curious about what twins from a wealthy family will look like, and is looking forward to it.
As for Mark, the studio simply gave him a day off.
Afraid that Aunt Zhou would not be able to find a place, Mu Wanqing had been waiting downstairs in the apartment early.
When the nanny car arrived, she smiled and hurried forward. As she was about to reach the car door, she suddenly remembered something and her steps suddenly froze.
I wonder if Wen Zhan is in the car.
With his behavior, he would most likely have to make things difficult for her before he would let her get along with the children.
After a brief moment of hesitation, the electric door of the nanny car opened automatically, and Aunt Zhou greeted with a smile: "Madam, you've been waiting for a long time!"
