Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 72: Fear, another day of fear of marriage

Nan Li has always been cold and proud.

Like a flower on a high mountain.

No matter what happens, she will remain calm and deal with it in an orderly manner.

Although she is not considered a top beauty, her status as a career executive and a talented woman is like a halo surrounding her, allowing her to always show her elegance and dignity.

She was also used to looking down on the people and things around her, especially Tian Yulan, whom she had always disdained to compare herself with.

That kind of pride made her feel that this comparison was a kind of derogation to herself.

But today, her pride was completely shattered.

In just two short months, she was completely at a disadvantage compared to Tian Yulan.

The children's academic performance was not as good as hers, the executive position was out of the question, and even her appearance was outshined.

Tian Yulan now always looks radiant and pretty, as if she is filled with love and happiness.

I have been bothered by these trivial matters in recent days, and my originally smooth and delicate skin has become a little worse.

This huge gap between the past and the present made it impossible for her not to feel psychologically unbalanced.

"Let's leave it at that. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together tomorrow."

When faced with Nan Li's aggressive words again, although Xia Junshan was full of grievances and unwillingness, he could only remain silent helplessly.

Zhao Na's back injury has long since recovered, and Xia Huanhuan also has Lin Yuan's tutoring in her homework, so Xia Junshan no longer needs to worry about her homework.

Xia Junshan has been very busy these days. He has been submitting his resume to a number of companies one after another.

He still has certain aspirations for his new job.

Either you apply to large companies that are well-known in the industry, or to positions that offer very generous salaries. The competition is fierce beyond imagination.

Companies in the design field like this have strict recruitment procedures, and background checks are an essential part of them.

When Xia Junshan resigned, he had an unpleasant argument with his leader.

With just one phone call, the recruiting company learned that Xia Junshan had been in jail for beating someone up in an impulsive manner.

Because of this, he has not received an offer yet.

Now the entire family's expenses depend on Nan Li.

He spent almost all his money on buying a house in the school district, and it was almost not enough for daily expenses.

When a man loses his source of income, he really has no confidence in front of a woman.

After this big fight, the already fragile relationship between the two reached its freezing point.

Because of the previous problems, they already had more than one gap between them.

When a person is dissatisfied with another person and wants to find shortcomings in that person, he can find no less than a hundred.

The next morning, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together.

Although in the TV series, their divorce was accidentally discovered by Nan Jianlong and Zhao Na, the old couple who had always gone their separate ways formed a united front and prevented Nan Li from wanting to divorce.

As for how Nan Jianlong was discovered?

Nan Jianlong suddenly had the urge to go and take a look at his daughter's office.

As it turned out, Nan Li was not there, but he met Lulu, who was Nan Li's assistant when she was the acting marketing director.

Lulu told Nan Jianlong that Nan Li had gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau next door to do some business.

Let’s not discuss whether Nan Li really told her former assistant about her plan to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Nan Li is a married woman. What can she do by going to the Civil Affairs Bureau?
The screenwriter almost said through the assistant's mouth: Your daughter went to the Civil Affairs Bureau next door to get a divorce.

There aren't so many coincidences in the real world.

The reason why Nan Jianlong and Zhao Na were able to appear suddenly was entirely because of Xia Junshan's tip-off.

Xia Junshan doesn't want to get divorced.

Even though what Nan Li said was like stabbing a knife into him and rubbing salt into his wounds, he still had feelings for Nan Li and he couldn't let her go.

More importantly, he knew that if he divorced this time, he would be left with nothing.

While the couple was waiting in line for their number to be called, Xia Junshan anxiously watched the hands on his watch tick by tick.

Finally, after a long wait, Nan Jianlong appeared at the door.

It was not until this moment that Xia Junshan's anxious heart seemed to have found support, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Nan Jianlong hurriedly came to the two of them. Before he could stand still, Xia Junshan couldn't wait to say anxiously, "Dad, you're finally here. Go and persuade Lili."

Nan Jianlong snatched the license plate from Nan Li's hand and said with great sorrow:

"You can't do such a stupid thing anyway. You two are the parents of two children. Do you think marriage is a joke?"

"What else can we do if we don't get a divorce?" Nan Li sighed, "I can't just watch Chaochao being taken care of at will. Since I gave birth to him, I have to take good care of him."

Nan Jianlong advised: "Even if you are really unified, you can't resort to divorce."

Xia Junshan interrupted and agreed, "Yes, Dad, that's what I said."

Nan Li shook her head, her tone full of determination: "Don't worry about it. Parents have to do their best for their children."

Nan Jianlong said anxiously, "Yes, yes, we must consider the children. If our family works together, we can always find a solution."

Nan Li sneered and snatched the license plate from Nan Jianlong: "I dare not trouble you again. With our complicated family relationship, every time I get some benefits from you, I have to give it back double."

Every time she wanted to rely on Nan Jianlong, she would be targeted by Tian Yulan and Cai Juying, as if her own biological daughter was an outsider.

Regarding the house purchase this time, just because Nan Jianlong gave her 600,000 yuan through Zhao Na, Tian Yulan was so desperate that she got other terminals to jointly complain about her, making the position of marketing director that was originally within her reach become a fantasy.

Maybe it wasn't entirely Tian Yulan's fault, but her complaint gave the headquarters an excellent reason to replace her.

Thinking of this, Nan Li felt uncomfortable.

Then again, if Nan Li knew in advance that more than half of the money was paid by Nan Jianlong, she would definitely not accept it easily.

At least I would write an IOU to Nan Jianlong.

She didn't want to owe Nan Jianlong anything.

Seeing Nan Li's firm tone, Nan Jianlong slammed the table, pointed at the number plate in Nan Li's hand, and roared: "Give it to me! As long as I am here today, you can't get a divorce, believe it or not!"

Nan Li was not frightened by Nan Jianlong's rage. She just sat there quietly and shook her head calmly: "Dad, you are thinking about me now. Why didn't you think of me when you divorced me two months before my college entrance examination?"

"You just said that marriage is no joke. Don't you find it ironic?"

"But you and I are different. You divorced for yourself, and I divorced for the children."

If it weren't for the impact of her parents' divorce, with Nan Li's excellence and hard work, she would have had a good chance of getting into one of the top universities in the country.

When Nan Jianlong heard what his daughter said, he was stunned. His body shook slightly, and his fingers began to tremble uncontrollably. He said with a bitter face: "Dad knows that the divorce hurt you, so now I don't want you to repeat the same mistake." Seeing this, Xia Junshan on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support Nan Jianlong, and carefully let him sit down on the chair next to him.

He whispered to Nan Li, "Li Li, don't talk to Dad like that."

The quarrel between the several people was so loud that Zhao Na, who was walking towards them not far away, heard it all.

When she heard her daughter criticizing Nan Jianlong so hard, she felt very satisfied.

In recent years, her daughter often went to Nan Jianlong's house for dinner. Although she didn't say it, she actually minded it in her heart.

"Lili is right." Zhao Na praised loudly at first, but then she gritted her teeth and said to Nan Li:
"You are already in your thirties, can you be more mature in doing things? After all, you are a senior executive of the company, you must have some connections and relationships, right?"

Zhao Na frowned, her tone full of blame, and she was very dissatisfied with her daughter's behavior.

"Yes." Nan Jianlong said from the side.

Only Xia Junshan remained silent. He knew that Nan Li had been demoted, and this incident was indeed a big blow to Nan Li.

Some time ago, Nan Li was busy with the home furnishing store business until the early morning almost every day. She even had no time to take care of Zhao Na who was bedridden. However, after working day and night, she got such a bad result. Only a god could keep her mentality intact.

"What kind of executive am I?" Nan Liyi sneered, her laughter full of self-mockery, "I have been demoted and am now just a marketing manager."

Zhao Na and Nan Jianlong both looked at Xia Junshan, their eyes full of questions.

Xia Junshan nodded silently.

"Huh?" "Why did you get demoted?"

"I want to know why, too. Tian Yulan was smiling and eating at the same table with me one second, and then she stabbed me in the back the next second."

Nan Li's voice was filled with anger and resentment. When she thought of what Tian Yulan had done, she was so angry that she trembled all over.

When Nan Jianlong heard that his stepdaughter was involved, he subconsciously wanted to clear Tian Yulan from the matter. After all, in his heart, what he wanted to see most was that his daughter and stepdaughter could get along in harmony.

He frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "It's normal to have ups and downs in the workplace. Could it be a misunderstanding?"

Hearing Nan Jianlong's partiality, Nan Li immediately raised her head and looked straight at Nan Jianlong: "Are you speaking for her?"

Zhao Na also glared at him.

"No...no." Nan Jianlong waved his hands in a panic, trying to explain, "Let's not stand here, let's go out and find a place to talk."

"Yes!" Although Zhao Na was still angry, she felt that now was not the time to argue with Nan Jianlong and she had to end this matter first.

Nan Li's eyes flashed with determination: "You guys can talk if you want to. Xia Junshan and I have something else to do."

Nan Jianlong frowned tightly and sighed heavily: "Why doesn't this make sense?"

"That's right! No divorce allowed." Zhao Na's tone was firm.

Nan Li remained silent, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Zhao Na gently sat down next to Nan Li and patiently advised: "Li Li, marriage and human nature cannot stand the test."

"If we really can't stand the test, it means that we are not suitable for each other." Nan Li looked at Xia Junshan, "Do you think we can't stand the test?"

Xia Junshan couldn't show his distrust of himself and Nan Li, so he nodded and said, "We can definitely stand the test."

"There are not so many loves in the world that are stronger than gold. He and I are a lesson for you." Zhao Na looked at the two people who were making solemn promises. She thought of her own failed marriage and her heart was filled with bitterness.

Nan Li gently shook her head: "When the time comes, it won't matter whether we have this piece of paper or not. If our relationship has problems because of this fake divorce, it only means that our marriage was flawed to begin with."

It seemed that Zhao Na and Nan Jianlong both had something to say.

"Even if you persuade me to leave today, we will come again tomorrow." Nan Li had a blank expression on her face. Then, as if she realized that her attitude was too tough, her tone softened a lot. "We will apply for a replacement after Chaochao goes to elementary school."

Zhao Na and Nan Jianlong both fell silent.

Not long after, the voice of the radio also sounded in the hall:

"Please go to window 0023 to register your divorce, A2."

Nan Li glanced at the number plate in her hand, which symbolized the impending end of her marriage. A complex emotion flashed across her eyes. Then she took a deep breath and said to Xia Junshan, "Let's go."

……

Lin Yuan's home.

living room.

Tian Yulan turned to look at Lin Yuan behind her: "Nan Li hasn't come over these few days, could it be that she won't come over."

These days, after get off work, Tian Yulan has to pick up Yan Ziyu and go to Cai Juying's place, and sometimes she has to avoid meeting Zhang Xueer's schedule.

This has resulted in fewer opportunities for the two to compete with each other.

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Nan Li's degree of pushing her child around is just not revealed. In fact, she is even crazier than you."

Tian Yulan narrowed her eyes and snorted, "Didn't she always say that she wanted to study happily?"

"In this society, anyone who has experienced a little bit of beating would not say such a thing." Lin Yuan sneered, "But if you have money and background, that's another story."

"Dingling~Dingling~"

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Tian Yulan was panicking.

"Could it be that Teacher Zhang is back?"

As she spoke, she tried to break free from Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was not panicked at all, he knew it couldn't be Zhang Xueer.

Zhang Xueer is still at her home.

"Hold on to the table and don't move." He growled.

Two minutes later, Nan Li called Lin Yuan again.

"Hello, Mr. Zhong, are you home? I'm at your door."

Nan Li's gentle voice came from the phone.

"I am home."
