"..." Mu Wanqing didn't know how to respond to this, and she didn't want to mention anything about Wen Lei, so she had to say, "Maybe he just saw that I was determined and didn't want to bother with it anymore."
"Okay... I always thought that you two would definitely be inseparable." Not hearing the gossip he wanted to hear, Yu Qiao felt disappointed, but soon became more motivated, "It's not easy for you to leave after you regain your freedom. You’re pregnant, do you have to celebrate tonight?”
celebrate?
Mu Wanqing didn't expect this, but when Yu Qiao reminded her, she thought of Zhou Yiru and agreed, "Okay, I'll call Brother Zhou later and we'll meet him in the evening."
After all, Zhou Yiru had helped her a lot with her divorce, and now that the matter was settled, she should treat her to a meal to express her gratitude.
Rather than being embarrassed and uncomfortable treating guests alone, it is better to be with Yu Qiao to avoid ambiguity and misunderstanding.
Yu Qiao added: "As well as your besties, please call them all! This is the moment of rebirth in your life!"
"Uh... ok."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Wanqing looked at the divorce certificate in her hand again, and only then did she realize that she was really divorced! She is free! She is no longer the young mistress of a wealthy family!
Taking a deep breath, she secretly told herself: From today on, it is a new life!
After getting on the subway, she called Zhou Yiru, but no one answered. Then she remembered that Zhou Yiru had an investment meeting today, so she sent another text message.
Similarly, Ye Huan was notified to have dinner together tonight.
Speaking of Ye Huan, she remembered the scene last night again.
Last night, after Ye Huan finished eating at her place, Chen Haoyang called and asked where their mother and daughter were.
Ye Huan originally didn't want to go home, but when her daughter gradually started to have a fever again, she was worried that she would have to go to the hospital for emergency treatment at night and was embarrassed to stay with her. In the end, she gave her address and asked Chen Haoyang to pick her up.
She sent her mother and daughter out and waited at the gate of the community.
When Chen Haoyang came, he saw that his wife and children didn't express any concern or comfort. Instead, he complained after getting out of the car: "It's not normal for couples to have conflicts. Is it interesting that you ran away from home with your children?"
She was standing aside at the time, and was shocked when she heard this, and suddenly understood what her best friend meant - he had changed a lot in the past six months.
Is it true that men become bad when they have money?
While thinking about it, Ye Huan called: "You said you and Wen Zhan were divorced?!"
Obviously, Ye Huan was also shocked.
"Well, I just left the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the certificate is in my bag." There were many people on the subway, so she didn't mention the divorce certificate for fear of attracting other people's attention.
Ye Huan was puzzled: "He came to you yesterday to give you medicine and cared so much about you. Why did he suddenly..."
"It's a long story. Come over tonight when you are free, and celebrate for me."
Ye Huan readily agreed: "Well, I will definitely go for such an important moment!"
"Where's Xiaoxiao? Have you recovered from your illness?"
"It can't be healed so quickly. I asked Chen Haoyang to come back and take care of him so that he can feel the hardships of a housewife."
Mu Wanqing smiled and said to herself: How can a man feel this? The disappearing father occasionally takes over the job, but how can it be compared with the nanny mother who is on duty 24/7.
This world is so unfair to women.
What did the Creator think back then? Why are all the pain and responsibilities placed on women?
With just such an appointment, the dinner party for the evening was decided.
Yu Qiao booked the restaurant, which was very high-end. Since they were celebrating their new life, they couldn't just go casually. Anyway, they were not short of money now.
Mu Wanqing never expected that as soon as she stepped into the restaurant, she would meet the person she wanted to escape the most - her ex-husband.
Wen Zhan was surrounded by three or five people and walked to the C seat in the middle. Next to him, a man who was older than him was talking to him with a smile on his face, but his face was cold, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his light was far away. It looked like an oppressive and cold aura.
Yu Qiao was beside Mu Wanqing, and the two of them saw Wen Zhan almost at the same time.
Then Yu Qiao was taken aback and pulled her arm down reflexively: "Your ex-husband!"
The word "ex-husband" was not spoken loudly, but it spread far enough in the elegant and quiet western restaurant, immediately attracting the attention of others.
The moment Mu Wanqing saw Wen Zhan, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she didn't even dare to look at him. But before she could move away pretending not to see him, Wen Zhan's eyes turned around and met hers.
Yu Qiao saw the lightning and thunder between the two of them, and immediately stopped talking, just silently watching from both sides.
As Wen Zhan and his party walked closer and closer to them, Mu Wanqing's heartbeat became faster and faster, and the faster she got, the more panicked she became.
Then she suddenly realized, what was there to panic about? After a divorce, it's just a well-off relationship. Personally, they are equal, and he has no right to oppress himself anymore - what's there to panic about?
Such hints made her calm down a lot, and she even thought that she should greet her ex-husband openly and openly.
Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing's face immediately relaxed a lot, and there was even a smile on her lips. When she passed by the man, she took the initiative to speak: "Wen..."
As soon as she uttered a word, the man looked away, as if he didn't recognize her. He turned his head slightly to talk to the middle-aged man next to her, and walked past her so noble and cold.
Mu Wanqing's face suddenly froze, and the unspoken greeting was stuck in her throat.
What followed was a strong sense of embarrassment and even humiliation.
Even Yu Qiao was stunned by this scene.
"What's wrong with him? He suddenly seems like a different person. He has been so indifferent to you after the divorce. Is he planning to stay away from you forever?"
Apart from other couples, it is normal for them to become strangers after divorce.
But they have two children, and they are only half a year old. It is inevitable for parents to contact each other.
Is it really okay to be so strange and cold?
Mu Wanqing did not answer Yu Qiao's question. She only felt embarrassed, extremely embarrassed.
She didn't understand why Wen Zhan suddenly had such a cold and unfamiliar attitude, but his reaction was clearly saying - we are nothing if we get divorced, so why should we be close?
The two of them walked to the reserved place and sat down. Mu Wanqing was still unable to escape from the embarrassment just now.
Ye Huan and Zhou Yiru arrived one after another.
As soon as they sat down, they both congratulated Mu Wanqing, especially Zhou Yiru.
He was too busy today and didn't have time to ask Mu Wanqing what was going on during the day - how could he suddenly leave after he had been holding back before.
Now that he was sitting down, he finally couldn't help but ask what he was wondering: "Did Wen Lei make him change his mind after talking to him?"
Mu Wanqing nodded, "Yes, I don't know how the eldest brother of the Wen family talked with him."
Zhou Yiru smiled and said, "You can dominate politics, but you can't beat him as a businessman?"
Yu Qiao and Ye Huan didn't understand what was going on, so they quickly inquired, and Zhou Yiru briefly explained the trick he had used on Mu Wanqing.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, before the two women could say anything, a cold and gloomy voice came from behind them: "It turns out it was you who gave her the idea."
Wen Zhan was curious last night. This woman was usually most afraid of dealing with the Wen family, let alone her cousin who was in a high position. How could she dare to think of finding Wen Lei as a middleman?
