Facing Zhong Xiaoqin's accusations, Hua Twelve appeared very humble:

"You are right. I agree with the divorce. Then can you tell me what I did wrong?"

Gu Jia felt that Hua Twelve's tone of "you are always right" was a bit irritating. She was afraid that Zhong Xiaoqin would be even more sad, so she quickly filled a bowl of fish soup and handed it to her:

"Xiaoqin, this soup is delicious. How about we eat first?"

Zhong Xiaoqin glared at Hua Twelve with red eyes. She couldn't bear to refuse her best friend's kindness, so she took the bowl of soup and took a sip. She found it unexpectedly delicious. She felt even more resentful towards her husband. In her three years of marriage, she had never tasted such delicious soup before.

After taking a few more bites of food and calming down, he couldn't help but say to Gu Jia and Wang Manni:

"Do you know how much Chen Yu has gone too far? He was so bored at home, fiddling with his fish all day long, and he never said a word to me!"

"Also, have you ever seen a couple wash and hang their clothes separately? Chen Yu is one of them!"

"It's been three years, and it's never changed. Every time it feels like we're not a family!"

Gu Jia and Wang Manni had obviously heard Zhong Xiaoqin mention this before, so they were not surprised. The former asked tentatively:

"Teacher Chen, do you have any mysophobia?"

Hua Twelve smiled faintly: "Let Zhong Xiaoqin continue to speak. Tell me everything you are dissatisfied with. I will explain it all at once, so you don't have to explain one by one and waste time!"

"Okay, then I'll continue and see if you have anything to explain!"

Zhong Xiaoqin continued to accuse her husband: "Other couples always sit together when they go out to eat, but you never sit with me. You always sit across from me at the same table. Am I right?"

Hua Twelve nodded: "Yes, what else?"

"And my mom sometimes comes over to help with cooking, but you always dislike her coming over!"

"A few days ago, I had a dinner with my colleagues from work. Because my resistance was lowered after the curettage, and we had barbecue at the dinner, I got gastroenteritis. My colleagues sent me to the hospital. I wanted to call you to pick me up, but you only transferred me a red envelope of 200 yuan so I could take a taxi home. Tell me, have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a husband?"

Zhong Xiaoqin grabbed a tissue and wiped her eyes, which were wet again, feeling aggrieved:

"You also lost my Pikachu. You never liked cats. You did it on purpose!"

Hua Twelve said with a smile: "That's quite a lot of resentment, is there anything else?"

Zhong Xiaoqin pointed at him: "You're still laughing!"

Hua Twelve was somewhat speechless: "If there is no more, then it would be my turn to speak up!"

"You tell me, I'll listen to your excuses!"

After Zhong Xiaoqin finished speaking, she picked up the chopsticks and started eating, as if she mistook the ribs and beef for Chen Yu, and bit down hard.

"You can think it's a sophistry, but just listen to whether my sophistry makes sense or not!"

Hua Twelve put down his chopsticks, drank some fish soup and rinsed his mouth, then began to "quibble":

"Let's go through the order in which you accused me, one by one. You said I like to play with fish, and I don't deny that, but have you ever thought about it, who doesn't have a hobby for a man of my age? As for me, I don't smoke, drink, play cards, or play games. Every day I just change the water for the fish, sprinkle some fish food, etc., and it takes less than an hour in total!"

"Gu Jia, please judge for yourself. Is it a problem for me to fiddle with the fish?"

After he said that, Gu Jia shook her head. Xu Huanshan often went out to drink and play football, but Chen Yu didn't even have any other hobbies except raising fish. What's wrong with that!

Hua Twelve smiled and nodded to Gu Jia to express his gratitude, then continued:

"Zhong Xiaoqin said that we wash our clothes separately, and when we went to a restaurant to eat, I didn't sit next to her, but sat opposite her. I admitted all this, but I didn't expect this was also wrong!"

Wang Manni was eating stir-fried shrimps and said:

"Mr. Chen, as an outsider, I think if two people are truly in love, they won't do this. You're being too polite!"

Seeing that her friend supported her, Zhong Xiaoqin immediately found the organization and angrily said to Hua Twelve:

"A bystander sees more clearly. Look, Manni said so!"

Hua Twelve smiled faintly:

"Ms. Zhong Xiaoqin, maybe a long time has passed and you have forgotten some things!"

"The reason why we wash our clothes separately is because you're afraid that I'll ruin yours, so you don't let me wash them. You're also afraid that my clothes will stain yours, so you let me hang them separately!"

"I think you're right. It's not hygienic to wash men's and women's clothes together, so I've been strictly following your instructions. Am I wrong?"

"And about sitting separately when eating. You said that when a man and a woman are in a relationship, who wouldn't want to sit next to each other? I also sat next to you at the beginning, but you said you were afraid of people sharing tables in restaurants, so you asked me to sit across from you when eating in the future. I also followed your instructions. Think about it, how long has it been since we shared a table together?"

Hua Twelve said this, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"Comrade Zhong Xiaoqin, you can't just forget what you said and then make it my fault, right?"

"As for your mom, I don't dislike her, I just hope she can say hello every time she comes over, and not just come to our house without saying anything. After all, we live independently and need our own private space!"

"And I was only telling you this, I didn't complain in front of your mother, right?"

Zhong Xiaoqin said angrily: "Tell me, isn't that just picking on my mother?"

Hua Twelve shook his head:

"I'm not arguing. I also have my own living habits. When my living habits conflict with your mother's practices, I think the problem should be solved through effective communication!"

"But firstly, I'm not very good at communication. Secondly, I'm a son-in-law. There are many things that a son-in-law can't say. Your mother will think too much if I say them. So I hope that you, their daughter, can serve as a bridge between me and your parents and help us communicate!"

"You are your mother's favorite. Your mother will definitely not be angry about what you said. I think this is the way to solve the problem!"

"But look at what you're doing? I can't even talk to you, so how can I express my ideas?"

Hua Shier's words were clear and logical, and even Gu Jia and Wang Manni thought they made sense.

Zhong Xiaoqin was a little confused. She had always been right before, but after he said that, it all became her fault.

"Wait a minute, let me stroke it."

Hua Shier nodded and invited Gu Jia and Wang Manni to eat.

After a while, Zhong Xiaoqin blushed and said, "Then I did something wrong. But I had a gastroenteritis at the company dinner that day, so how about asking you to pick me up?"

Hua Twelve put down his chopsticks:

"First, you didn't tell me on the phone that you were in the hospital with gastroenteritis. I didn't know your condition was so serious!"

"Second, when you had the uterine curettage surgery, the doctor told me about the precautions. I reminded you several times not to eat spicy or indigestible foods, and to avoid drinking alcohol and cold drinks. So why did you still eat barbecue? Also, during your dinner party, I guess you drank cold drinks, right?"

Zhong Xiaoqin felt a little guilty when she thought about drinking Zhong Xiaoyang's drink:

"I just drank some mango juice, which was handed to me by my colleague. It was room temperature, not a cold drink!"

Gu Jia was a little speechless, and without Hua Twelve saying anything, she explained:

"Room temperature means cold drinks. In your situation, you need to drink it hot!"

Hua Twelve then raised three fingers: "Third, I was busy with work that day!"

Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes lit up, and she finally grasped the truth: "You lied, you said you were at your fish friend's house, and I have the voice message you sent on WeChat to prove it!"

Gu Jia and Wang Manni both looked at Hua Twelve. Hua Twelve didn't look like he was being exposed at all, and said confidently:

"I didn't want you to know about my troubles at work. I'll tell you the truth. During the days when you had the curettage surgery, an intern in our group made a mistake, which led to a broadcast accident. The leader has been mad at me and targeting me. That day, after you had the curettage surgery and your mother came, I left in a hurry. You still blame me because I didn't even take my annual leave!"

"Brother Man saw that I was having a hard time at work, so he introduced me to the head of another group and wanted to transfer me away. I was having dinner with him that day, and you didn't explain the situation. Do you think I could leave?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was suspicious: "Really? I don't believe it!"

Hua Twelve shrugged:

"If you don't believe me, you can call Brother Man. Besides, I can't continue working at the TV station. My boss also knew about my meeting with the other team leaders that day, and he is even more dissatisfied with me, so I plan to resign in a few days!"

When Hua Twelve said this, he finally revealed a look of loss that belonged to Chen Yu:

"Also, you said I was bored to death, but Zhong Xiaoqin, have you ever thought about one thing? In the three years of marriage, have you ever cared about my work?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was speechless. She wanted to say yes, but when she recalled, Chen Yu had never said that in front of her, so she didn't ask. Instead, she kept pestering him to talk about his work.

Somewhat guilty, he said, "You didn't say that either!"

Hua Twelve sighed:

"Have you ever thought about how much work pressure I, as the editor-in-chief and deputy producer of a TV station, have to deal with every day?"

"I feel a lot of pressure at work, and raising fish is just a way for me to adjust myself and relieve stress, that's all!"

Every time Hua Shier refuted Zhong Xiaoqin's accusation, the girl's expression became more complicated, and the same was true for Gu Jia and Wang Manni.

Hua Twelve spoke in a calm tone, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs from the perspective of an observer, and recounted the misunderstanding between the two:

"Yesterday was your birthday, and you called me but I didn't answer, and you didn't reply to my text messages. But yesterday, my immediate boss, Sister Lu, found out that I had dinner with the head of another group, and she was looking for me to blame. We had an argument. How could I have noticed the phone calls and text messages at that time?"

"After I got away, I called you, but your phone was turned off. Later I found out that your phone was broken that day, which is why we didn't get in touch!"

"I drove to your workplace to pick you up. The security guard at the door said you had already left work. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask. The security guard can prove that I have been there!"

"I couldn't contact you. You came back just after I drove home, soaked in the rain. You were holding your breath and had an argument with me. In a hurry, I forgot to close the door. Pikachu was lost that day. I really didn't let it go on purpose. Besides, you didn't close the door when you came in."

Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes were red: "You still think you're right, right?"

Hua Twelve shook his head: "I'm not saying that I'm right, I just want to say that we both have responsibilities when it comes to Pikachu. You can't accuse me of doing it on purpose."

Zhong Xiaoqin fell silent, and had no appetite to continue eating. She lowered her head with red eyes and said nothing.

Hua Twelve continued:

"I think marriage is a process of bringing two people with distinct edges together to get along with each other!"

"In this process, the sharp edges of both husband and wife need to be smoothed out so that the marriage can become harmonious and harmonious, but in this way, life will become relatively plain, and of course, it can also be said to be warm and harmonious!"

"You said that life with me was like a stagnant pool of water, without passion. I think it's because my edges have been worn away by marriage!"

"But Comrade Zhong Xiaoqin, you have been married for three years. Have you changed at all? I feel that you haven't changed. Even if you have, it is insignificant. You still have the same temper as before, and you are still as innocent and cute as before. You couldn't cook before, and you still can't cook now."

"I have said so much, not to blame you, nor to force you to sacrifice anything in your marriage. I just want to tell you that our marriage has come to this point not because of me alone, and I am not as bad as you say!"

"At least for the past three years, I have been responsible for cooking, housework, finances, living expenses, and other trivial matters. And I, Chen Yu, have never had any bad habits, so in my opinion, I am a good man, that's all!"

Zhong Xiaoqin's tears fell again, Gu Jia helped her wipe them away. Wang Manni felt that she should say something on behalf of her friend, so she said to Hua Twelve:

"Mr. Chen, you also said that marriage is a matter between two people. Putting aside the facts, don't you have any responsibility at all for your marriage to have come to this point?"

Hua Twelve couldn't help but laugh when he heard the familiar phrase 'putting the facts aside':

"Yes, I have reflected on myself. My responsibility is that I didn't understand the importance of communication. If I had said these words earlier, Zhong Xiaoqin and I might not have come to this point!"

"It may be related to my upbringing. I come from a single-parent family. My mother raised me and my younger brother. I am the eldest son in the family. So I told myself to be strong since I was young. No matter what happens, I don't have the habit of complaining to others. Today is the first time I have spoken so much!"

Hua Twelve sneered, his expression somewhat relieved: "Of course, I said so much today, maybe it's because I want a divorce, or maybe it's because I've been holding it in for a long time, but it doesn't mean I regret not getting a divorce!"

After listening to Zhong Xiaoqin's accusation and Hua Twelve's statement, Gu Jia felt that it would be a pity if the two of them separated because of these things, so she quickly said:

"Teacher Chen, there are only misunderstandings between you and Xiaoqin. Just talk it out. Why do you need to get a divorce?"

Zhong Xiaoqin's expression changed. She accepted Hua Twelve's statement in her heart, and her determination to divorce began to waver.

Hua Shier smiled and shook his head: "Once the arrow is shot, it cannot be retrieved. Some things, once they reach that point, it is difficult to turn back."

Seeing that Gu Jia still wanted to persuade him, Hua Shier waved his hand, signaling her to stay calm and let him finish his words first:

"I have been married to Zhong Xiaoqin for three years. Can you guess why she could accept me before but not now? The child issue was just a trigger, but I think there are other reasons."

Zhong Xiaoqin looked up with red eyes. Gu Jia and Wang Manni also looked curious. The former choked up and asked, "Is there any other reason?"

Hua Twelve glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin, and then said to Gu Jia:

"If, I mean if."

"If there was a beautiful young lady in my workplace who loved to stick to me every day, calling me brother, serving me tea and water, buying me drinks, being gentle and considerate, giving me massages when I was tired, and making fun of me, what kind of misunderstandings would I have with Xiaoqin under such circumstances? Comparing the two, would I feel that Zhong Xiaoqin was getting worse and worse, and that she was all sick?"

Gu Jia suddenly realized and pointed at Hua Twelve:

"Oh, I finally understand. Mr. Chen, no wonder you said so much before. Overtly or covertly, it was all because Zhong Xiaoqin didn't understand you and misunderstood you. So you have someone else outside?"

"The girl in your unit treated you like that. She has no good intentions. She is a green tea bitch. She just wants to seduce you."

Gu Jia is most sensitive to this kind of thing, because there are always some female employees in her company who have bad intentions towards her husband, so she seems a little excited when faced with this kind of problem.

Hua Twelve smiled: "It's not as serious as you say. Maybe it's because the little girl is innocent and we have similar personalities. I don't think she is seducing me!"

Gu Jia became even angrier: "Adult men and women should have a sense of boundaries. You are a 30-year-old man, don't tell me that you can't tell what is ambiguous and what is normal. If you have a vague sense of boundaries, then you did it on purpose. You just enjoy that feeling. You are a scumbag."

She said to Zhong Xiaoqin who was standing beside her: "Xiaoqin, we have been best friends for more than ten years. Don't worry, I am here and no one will bully you."

As she was talking, she realized something was wrong: "Hey, Xiaoqin, why is your face so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

At this time, Hua Twelve said to Wang Manni who was beside Zhong Xiaoqin:

"Ms. Wang, I want to thank you. I passed by Junyue Mansion that day and happened to see you reminding that young hunk Zhong Xiaoyang that Zhong Xiaoqin already had a husband. I appreciate that. Thank you very much!"

Gu Jia understood instantly that Hua Shier was not talking about himself, but Zhong Xiaoqin!

Seeing her best friend's uncomfortable look, Gu Jia suddenly felt that Chen Yu was too mean. He actually used her mouth to scold Zhong Xiaoqin. The words she had just said were about a man in his thirties with no sense of boundaries, deliberate, and a scumbag. Now, looking back, she was scolding Zhong Xiaoqin for being a scumbag.

Hua Twelve looked at the time:

"It's almost time. I don't think you guys want to eat anymore. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get a divorce early so you can celebrate. By the way, you all said this fish soup is delicious. This is the pair of angelfish I raised. They are rich in nutrition and high in protein. They are very good."

Zhong Xiaoqin looked back at the aquarium in shock and found that the pair of angelfish that Chen Yu treated as treasures had disappeared.

People who keep dogs treat dogs as their relatives, people who keep cats treat cats as their relatives. Zhong Xiaoqin keeps cats, and she herself is like this, so she especially understands the relationship between owners and pets. Chen Yu raised the angelfish for three years, and then ate them just like that. What a cruel heart!

Looking at the soup bowl again, she suddenly felt a little nauseous. She covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom. What was even more uncomfortable at this moment was her heart, because she seemed to understand that if Chen Yu made the fish into soup, he would have to completely cut off all ties with the past. There was no possibility between them!

Hua Twelve shouted from behind: "Angelfish are swallowfish, they are really edible, why are you vomiting!"

Thanks to: 08a, Brother Xiao Xiaohu in the Demon World for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much.
