A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1123 New World, Replace Chen Yu, I won’t take the blame! (Please subscribe!)

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Hua Shier had just woken up from the darkness and found himself lying on an unfamiliar big bed. There was a rapid and heavy knock on the door outside. The knocking was so intense that it sounded like someone was seeking revenge.

He stood up and walked out of the bedroom, and what he saw was a living room with a somewhat retro decoration style. A large floor-standing aquarium behind the sofa was very conspicuous, and it could be seen that there was another room behind the aquarium.

"Open the door, I know you are home. If you have the ability to stand me up, you have the ability to open the door! Open the door, I know you are home."

Hua Shier heard a woman shouting outside the door, with a familiar tone, and thought, could it be Aunt Xue coming to visit?

He walked over and opened the door, and saw three girls standing outside. Two of them were tall, and the one standing in the front was a petite beauty, who was glaring at him angrily.

"Sanli?"

Hua Shier blurted out "who is this guy?" when he saw this familiar face, because this petite woman looked exactly like Qiao Sanli when she was an adult.

But he immediately realized that he had recognized the wrong person, because he remembered that the new mission was in the world of "Nothing But Thirty", so this was not Qiao Sanli, but Zhong Xiaoqin.

The other two are the other two female protagonists in "Nothing But Thirty", Gu Jia and Wang Manni!

Sure enough, the next moment, the three women changed color at the same time, and Zhong Xiaoqin asked angrily:

"Who is Sanli? Chen Yu, are you cheating on me?"

Although he had not yet received the memories of the replaced person from the system, Hua Shier guessed that the person he replaced should be the protagonist of the system task, the unlucky child Chen Yu.

He snorted coldly, "I won't cheat on you even if you do. I just had a dream that we were father and daughter in our previous life. In the dream, I was from Jinling and my name was Qiao Zuwang, and you were my third daughter, Qiao Sanli. So I said it subconsciously when I saw you!"

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at him suspiciously. Seeing that Hua Twelve showed no guilty expression, she pushed him aside and rushed into the room. Gu Jia and Wang Manni followed in. The three of them looked around the room and found no one. Zhong Xiaoqin then turned around and said unhappily:

"Did you say that just now because you were angry and wanted to take advantage of me verbally? Chen Yu, you are too much. We agreed to meet at 8 o'clock today, but I waited for you for three hours and you didn't answer my phone calls. You agreed to it yesterday, but now you want to regret it? Are you still a man?"

Wang Manni looked at Hua Twelve with a look of solidarity, while Gu Jia had a complicated expression:

"Teacher Chen"

Hua Twelve waved his hand: "Wait a minute, I just woke up and my mind is not very clear. I'm going to wash my face first. You guys sit for a while, and we'll talk when I come out!"

After saying that, he went straight into the bathroom without caring whether Zhong Xiaoqin and the other two agreed or not.

Zhong Xiaoqin was mad at his attitude and wanted to lose her temper, but was stopped by Gu Jia, who was more sensible:

"Xiaoqin, we've already met someone, so it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer. Sit down first and we'll talk it over. Arguing won't solve any problems!"

Hua Twelve didn't want to talk now, mainly because he wasn't sure what time period it was, so he wanted to go into the bathroom to delay a little and talk after receiving the memories transmitted by the system.

He washed his face and sat on the toilet for a while. The memory transmitted by the system arrived as expected, allowing him to understand the reasons why Zhong Xiaoqin was so angry and smashed the door.

It turned out that the time when he replaced Chen Yu was the time when Chen Yu and Zhong Xiaoqin were about to divorce.

The couple had already agreed yesterday that they would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce today.

As a result, at this critical moment, Hua Shier replaced Chen Yu. Maybe it was because of the replacement that when he came, three hours had passed since the time they had agreed on. It seems that Zhong Xiaoqin brought Gu Jia and Wang Manni to the door just to call for an explanation.

I took out my cell phone and took a look. Sure enough, there were a lot of missed calls and dozens of text messages, almost all from Zhong Xiaoqin.

Hua Shier smiled. If he was replacing someone else, it would be fine, but replacing Chen Yu, then traveling to this point in time would be the best option.

Zhong Xiaoqin's face was too familiar. He had sex with her? What a joke! A month ago, another person with the same face called him dad!

After pressing the flush button, Hua Twelve stood up to wash his hands, then walked out of the bathroom and greeted Gu Jia and Wang Manni:

"Gu Jia, and this lady, hello, would you like something to drink?"

Gu Jia quickly said, "No need to trouble Teacher Chen!"

After that, he introduced Wang Manni: "Teacher Chen, this is Wang Manni, a friend of Xiaoqin and me!"

Hua Twelve nodded to Wang Manni: "Hello!"

Wang Manni felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded politely.

Zhong Xiaoqin felt ignored and shouted:

"Chen Yu, we agreed to meet at a certain time, but you are three hours late. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Hua Twelve nodded calmly and said:

"I think so. I probably didn't sleep well last night. I don't know what time I fell asleep. I didn't wake up until you knocked on the door. Now I'm sorry to tell you that I didn't keep my promise. It was indeed my fault!"

Zhong Xiaoqin had been waiting for three hours and was already very angry. Seeing Hua Twelve's calm words and lightly handling the matter, she became even angrier and said to Gu Jia and Wang Manni:

"You see, this is what he looks like, this is his attitude!"

Gu Jia was afraid that the two would quarrel, so she quickly said, "Okay, Xiaoqin, divorce is such a big deal, it's normal for Teacher Chen to suffer from insomnia!"

Zhong Xiaoqin felt that it made sense and felt better after hearing what she said, but she still had a bit of a temper:

"Gu Jia, we are best friends, why do you always speak up for him?"

After she finished speaking, she said to Hua Twelve: "Then let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now!"

Hua Twelve looked at the time:

"It's almost noon now, and the Civil Affairs Bureau will be closed for lunch. How about this, Gu Jia, call Xu Huanshan over. I'll treat you to lunch at noon. I used to go to your house for free meals, but today Zhong Xiaoqin and I are getting a divorce, and we don't know if we will have any contact in the future. Let me cook, and let you taste my cooking skills!"

Gu Jia smiled awkwardly and said, "No need, Mr. Chen. Besides, Huanshan is on a business trip to Beijing and is not in the Magic City now!"

Wang Manni looked at Hua Twelve in disbelief: "I appreciate your kindness, but we are not in the mood for it right now."

Hua Twelve smiled: "You three are getting together just to wait until Zhong Xiaoqin divorces me, and then go celebrate with her. Of course, you can also say that you want to comfort her. I am right, right? In that case, we are still short of this meal, so let's celebrate in advance!"

He remembered that in the original plot, on the day of the divorce, after dividing the property, Zhong Xiaoqin took her two best friends to a hot spring resort hotel for some revenge spending.

Zhong Xiaoqin glared: "Chen Yu, stop being so sarcastic, so what? I'm getting a divorce, I want to be free, can't I find friends to celebrate together?"

Hua Twelve said very seriously: "Of course, I didn't say no, and I'm not being sarcastic. I really want to treat Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia to a meal!" He turned to look at Gu Jia:

"Gu Jia, you see, when Zhong Xiaoqin and I got married, you and Xu Huanshan were both there. Even if our marriage has come to an end today, I just wanted you to be witnesses so that it can be considered a complete beginning and an end!"

"But since your Boss Xu has gone to the capital, it would be the same if you could do me a favor and try my cooking. Wait a moment, I'll make a few dishes, and we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau after we finish eating!"

Hua Twelve said as he stood up and went to the kitchen to start working. The three girls looked at each other, and Wang Manni whispered to Zhong Xiaoqin:

"What's going on? Your husband is not upset because you want a divorce and wants to poison us, right?"

Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't understand what Chen Yu was thinking: "No way!"

Gu Jia couldn't bear it any longer: "Manni, don't talk nonsense. Teacher Chen is not that kind of person. I guess Teacher Chen just wants to have a beginning and an end, just like he said, and to part ways in peace!"

Although the three women spoke in a low voice, Hua Twelve heard it clearly. Having Chen Yu's memories, he couldn't help but be influenced by Chen Yu's feelings towards this marriage when he heard these words, and he smiled bitterly.

Then he felt a little sorry for Chen Yu:

"Even Gu Jia believes that Chen Yu is not that kind of person, and Zhong Xiaoqin said no, but the three words 'maybe' clearly imply uncertainty. It's really rare for a couple to live like this."

Hua Shier opened the refrigerator and saw that the ingredients Chen Yu usually prepared were still very rich, so he started to make four dishes and a soup.

Scallion-fried spare ribs, braised beef, stir-fried shrimps, celery and cashews, and a milky white fish soup.

The food was served, and Hua Twelve invited the three girls to sit down. Gu Jia and Wang Manni had already been tempted by the aroma wafting from the kitchen. When they tasted the former's cooking, their eyes lit up and they praised it highly. Gu Jia even said that it was better than that in big restaurants.

Zhong Xiaoqin asked suspiciously, "Can you guys make it? Is it really that delicious?"

She picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. She was immediately amazed and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Okay, Chen Yu, you've been cooking for three years, and you've never cooked like this. It seems like you're just fooling me. It seems like I was right to get a divorce!"

Hua Twelve was too lazy to pay attention to her. He took out a few cans of drinks from the refrigerator and handed them to the three girls. Then he sat down and opened a can himself. Then he said:

"Come on, I propose that, in order to celebrate the fact that Ms. Zhong Xiaoqin and I have both regained our freedom today, we all take a walk!"

Before Gu Jia and Wang Manni spoke, Zhong Xiaoqin became unhappy:

"Chen Yu, you've gone too far. We're getting divorced because you treated me badly and you did something wrong. So I can celebrate because I'm free from suffering!"

"But what gives you the right? I've been so good to you, and you celebrated your divorce from me, in front of my friends. Are you trying to humiliate me?"

Gu Jia and Wang Manni also looked unhappy, and obviously felt that Zhong Xiaoqin was right.

Hua Twelve smiled faintly: "Zhong Xiaoqin, don't get excited. No matter what, we are no longer husband and wife from now on, so we can sit down and talk about everything calmly, don't you think?"

"Besides, you said that the reason for our divorce was that I treated you badly, but I don't agree with that. I can divorce you, but I don't want to be blamed!"

Zhong Xiaoqin stared at me like a bull: "It's because you are not good to me, otherwise how could we end up getting divorced!"

Hua Twelve called Gu Jia and Wang Manni: "Pick up your chopsticks, let's eat and talk. I guess Xiaoqin said a lot of bad things about me when she was with you girlfriends, right?"

Gu Jia and Wang Manni smiled awkwardly and focused on eating. They couldn't respond to this.

Zhong Xiaoqin snorted: "Isn't what I said the truth?"

Hua Twelve took a sip of the fish soup and then said:

"We can't just listen to your family's words. Since your friends are here, let's talk about everything. Don't worry, nothing will affect the outcome of our divorce, but we have to make the facts clear!"

Zhong Xiaoqin wanted to say, what is there to say, but after hearing Hua Twelve saying "one person's opinion" on the left and "facts" on the right, it was as if she had lied to her friend, so she said angrily:

"Okay, let me tell you. Let me start with your cold-bloodedness. You didn't want the baby from the beginning. When the fetal heartbeat stopped, you forced me to have a uterine curettage. After I got home, I cried for two whole days. Gu Jia came to comfort me, but you weren't sad at all. Tell me, are you cold-blooded?"

When Gu Jia and Wang Manni looked at Hua Twelve again, they couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

Hua Twelve took out Chen Yu's phone, clicked on an online shopping platform, opened all the orders, and handed it to the three girls:

"Look, you say I'm cold-blooded, but I've already measured the location for the crib, and ordered the crib and other baby products online. These things have already arrived at the delivery point. I was afraid that you would see these things and be reminded of the past, so I threw them all away and didn't bring any of them home!"

The three girls took the phone and saw that there were a lot of baby supplies in the shopping list, from diapers to milk warmers, from baby strollers to cribs, and so on. It must have cost several thousand yuan. The purchase dates were all before Zhong Xiaoqin had a uterine curettage operation.

Hua Shier pointed to the sensor light outside the toilet wall:

"I installed the sensor light because I was worried that you were in your advanced pregnancy and it would be dangerous to go to the toilet at night. You still say I am cold-blooded? As for urging you to have a curettage, it was because the doctor said that even a day later would have a negative impact on your health. Is there anything wrong with me caring about my wife's health?"

"You said you cried for two days, but I wasn't sad at all? How can I, a grown man, cry in front of my wife? When encountering such a thing, I have to show my strong side, otherwise, if we cry together, how can we live together?"

Hua Twelve said this and turned the tables: "It's you, on the contrary. I heard that when you were pregnant, there was a power outage in Junyue Mansion and the elevator couldn't run. You climbed the stairs to deliver packages to the owners while pregnant. Is this true?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was surprised: "How did you know?"

"Don't worry about how I know. I just want to ask you, why didn't you think about the baby in your belly when you climbed the stairs? Is work so important? I don't believe it. You told your boss that you were pregnant, but your boss still forced you to climb the stairs?"

There was no fluctuation in Hua Twelve's tone, and he was calm and composed:

"Zhong Xiaoqin, let me ask you, don't you feel cold-blooded for doing that? Don't you feel that you are not good to the child? Aren't you being hypocritical?"

Gu Jia and Wang Manni looked at Hua Twelve, then looked at their best friend. It seemed that the two sides had very different opinions.

Zhong Xiaoqin was stunned by the question and said with all her might:

"Have you ever said you didn't want children?"

Hua Twelve continued:

"Yes, I admit that I said that. I grew up in a single-parent family, so I didn't want to have a child so soon before I was sure that I could bring happiness to the child. This was also something we discussed when we got married. You suddenly got pregnant, and I couldn't change my mind for a while, so I said that. Is there any problem?"

"But you have to know that people's thoughts are not static. When I accompanied you for the prenatal check-up and saw the baby's heartbeat on the instrument, when I heard the baby's heartbeat, I already felt the blood connection and was full of anticipation for the birth of this child. I just didn't show it obviously, but the baby care products I bought are proof of it!"

Zhong Xiaoqin was speechless when it came to the topic of children, and tears kept falling.

Gu Jia and Wang Manni both began to persuade him, and Hua Twelve handed over a tissue:

"Wipe it off. We agreed to talk it over calmly. It's all in the past. There's no need to cry!"

Zhong Xiaoqin took the tissue and wiped her tears: "I misunderstood you about the child, but don't think you won't get a divorce. You don't do well in normal times!"

Hua Twelve nodded humbly: "What you said is all right, I agree with the divorce, then can you tell me what I did wrong?"
