Disorder in marriage

After talking with Mrs. Du, Yan Zhi returned to the law firm.

Xia Linglong and Ling Xiao are currently dealing with a very tricky case: a husband was having an affair and had taken out a loan of several million yuan in his wife's name before deceiving her into divorcing him.

After becoming a lawyer, Yan Zhi discovered that there's no limit to how bad people can get.

She helped organize some materials, and it was already two hours past the end of the workday when the three of them finally remembered to rest.

"Xiaozhi, shall we go eat together? Anyway, my senior and I eat alone when we go home."

"it is good."

Ling Xiao put on his coat, picked up his briefcase, and said, "I'll go downstairs and get the car now."

As night fell, only one light remained on in a corner of the office area.

Looking around, there were several stacks of documents on each table.

Tomorrow, this place will be a battlefield again, where everyone will fight for survival.

Yan Zhi is actually not quite used to this fast-paced workplace life.

But this is nobody's fault.

She believes that she chose this path, and every step she took was her own.

When you reach the end, turn around and don't waste your energy blaming anyone. Be smarter next time and don't make the same mistake again.

Xia Linglong leaned against the edge of the table and picked up her unfinished coffee.

"Xiao Zhi, did you know that Gu Yunmo called your senior a couple of days ago?"

Yan Zhi was stunned. "I don't know. Why would he call his senior?"

Xia Linglong said cryptically, "Your senior wanted to help you get a divorce. He found some minor issues with Gu's business operations and wanted to use them to blackmail Gu Yunmo. Guess what Gu Yunmo said?"

Yan Zhi remained silent.

"I heard it with my own ears, the senior was playing it on speakerphone!"

Xia Linglong was afraid of upsetting her, so she didn't say the exact words, but the core meaning was clearly conveyed.

"He still thinks you wronged Yan Fei! He won't divorce you just to torment you! That bastard! If he loves Yan Fei so much, why did he marry you in the first place? You acted all respectable when you were pregnant, but he changed his attitude after you gave birth!"

I wonder if Yan Zhi's heart has become numb from all the hurt.

Compared to the two months immediately following childbirth, this little thing no longer bothers her.

She listened numbly as Xia Linglong finished her rant, "Torture me? Let's see who tortures whom."

Xia Linglong looked at her and felt that her best friend's eyes had lost their light.

"My senior and I have been trying to find out about the child for you. Xiaozhi, don't be sad. As long as we find the child, we won't have to put up with the Gu family's mistreatment anymore."

Yan Zhi shook her head wearily. "I've given up hope of finding her. I just hope Yan Fei will treat my daughter well and not take revenge on the child for the grudges between me and her."

As long as Yan Fei is genuinely good to the child, she is willing to give anything.

Marriage, money, even life itself—I'd give anything.

Xia Linglong put her arm around her shoulder. She wanted to say something comforting, but her worries were the same as Yan Zhi's.

You can gamble on anything in this world, except the human heart.

The three of them went to a shopping mall near the law firm for dinner. When they got out of the car, Yan Zhi felt someone watching her from behind.

But when she looked back, she didn't see anything.

During the meal, Ling Xiao handed the menu to the two of them.

Just then, Yan Zhi's phone rang.

Xia Linglong asked, "Who called?"

Yan Zhi picked up her phone, "Gu Yunmo."

"What does he want from you? Is he trying to get you to go home again? Is he crazy? Does he not allow you any normal social interaction?"

"Who knows?" Yan Zhi got up and left the private room before the door opened.

"What's up?"

"I'm not going home tonight. I'll sleep outside after my social engagement."

Gu Yunmo was calm on the other end, but Yan Zhi could still tell that his words were a little strange.

"oh."

"Oh?" Gu Yunmo's voice was low. "You don't have anything to say?"

Yan Zhi, like a robot, asked, "What do you want me to say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of laughter erupted from Gu Yunmo's side.

"Yunmo, is this what you call a good relationship? My wife and I have been married for over ten years! She even scolded me when she heard I wasn't coming home!"

"Yunmo, it seems your wife doesn't like you at all! Tsk tsk tsk!"

When Yan Zhi heard Qin Lao's voice, she immediately remembered the challenge that had been popular online recently: calling your wife and saying you won't be home that night.

Although she didn't know what the others were like, her reply to Gu Yunmo would definitely make him lose face.

If Gu Yunmo is unhappy, he will eventually take his revenge on her.

Yan Zhiqing cleared her throat. "If you're so capable, then don't come back! Just die out there, why are you talking to me?"

There was silence on the other end.

"Gu Yunmo, I'm giving you two options: either come home now and obediently watch TV with me, or never come back!"

Gu Yunmo's lips curled up slightly. This not only saved his face but also gave him an excuse to leave.

She truly is a good wife to him.

He showed his phone to the group of men and said, "Excuse me, I have to go now."

Old Qin waved his hand, "Go on, go on, you really should spend more time with your family."

Gu Yunmo left the private room, and Jiang Jin followed behind him. "Mr. Gu, are you really going back? You still have to meet a foreign client later."

Gu Yunmo opened the car door. "Okay, let's go back."

Previously, when Yan Zhi was pregnant, she liked to watch a TV series with more than seventy episodes. It took him three days to figure out the relationships between the characters.

He still hasn't watched the whole TV series with her.

"Mr. Gu, your wife seems to have reverted to her old ways."

Jiang Jin observed Gu Yunmo's expression while driving.

Although his face remained as expressionless as usual, one could sense that Gu Yunmo's entire demeanor exuded relaxation and joy.

"Is there?"

He rested his elbows on the edge of the car window, his long fingers stroking his chin. In the dimly lit car, the black and white paint contrasted sharply with the silvery sheen of his wrists.

Jiang Jin spoke frankly, "Yes, actually, my wife used to check up on you a lot, but she didn't care about you as much after giving birth. But now it seems like she's starting to care about you again."

As Gu Yunmo looked out the car window, the sight of an ordinary family of three taking a walk at night reminded him of his and Yan Zhi's child who had died at birth.

He wondered when he would be able to be with Yan Zhi.

"It's normal for her emotions to be unstable during pregnancy. Just now, Mr. Qin told me to spend more time with my family. Do you also feel that I haven't been paying enough attention to her?"

Jiang Jin glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that Gu Yunmo's question was very sincere, revealing his concern for Yan Zhi in his words.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly and pursed his lips.

"Mr. Gu, you've actually done a great job. You weren't this attentive when you were with Ms. Yan Fei. But Ms. Yan Fei is also very understanding and considerate of your difficulties."

Gu Yunmo stepped back, a thoughtful look on his face. "Indeed."

Jiang Jin added, "Besides, you're just as heartbroken about the child. Even if your wife doesn't know the child is gone, she knows better than anyone that you also had feelings for the child."

Gu Yunmo twirled the wedding ring on his ring finger, his eyes lowered in silence.

"Between husband and wife, care is mutual. Mr. Gu, if you care so much about your wife, she will surely care about you in return."
