Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"Auntie, there are some things I shouldn't tell you, and Xiaoqin is worried about uncle's health, so she definitely doesn't want you to know now.

But I think since you have already noticed it, if I continue to keep it full, it will only make you more worried, so I will be frank with you.

Actually, Xiaoqin is divorced, otherwise I wouldn't pursue a married woman. And I will accompany Xiaoqin home today, mainly to tell you two about our relationship."

Hearing Han Tao say this, Zhong Xiaoqin's mother asked in disbelief: "What did you say? Xiaoqin has divorced Chen Yu?"

"That's right, it was the day after Xiaoqin's birthday..."

Han Tao explained the general situation. At this time, Zhong Xiaoqin's mother didn't know what to say. She politely said goodbye and hurried back to the hospital.

After learning that her daughter had filed for divorce because she was unhappy and had a conflict with Chen Yu, Zhong's mother felt incredible and thought that these trivial matters were not enough to lead to divorce.

In the eyes of their generation, divorce must be due to major issues, such as infidelity, domestic violence, crime, prostitution, or at least bad habits such as gambling.

Apart from the reasons mentioned above, the rest of the things are trivial and should not be elevated to the level of divorce. The correct approach is to make amends for another three years.

So Zhong Xiaoqin's mother was a little suspicious that her daughter divorced her favorite son-in-law Chen Yu because of Han Tao.

Of course, she felt that her guess might not be correct, so she hurried to find Zhong Xiaoqin to confirm. After all, her daughter, whom she had educated for many years, would not have any moral problems, and she should not have committed adultery in her marriage.

.....................

As for Zhong Xiaoqin, she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her father was fine and was sleeping soundly.

However, Chen Yu beside her was not bothered. He always felt that something important to him had been taken away by someone else.

He originally thought that Zhong Xiaoqin divorced him on impulse, and after this period of time, she would calm down and change her mind.

But after seeing Han Tao appear, Chen Yu had a sense of crisis. He felt that if he had not discovered it early or done something, Zhong Xiaoqin might really leave him completely.

After all, he knew something about Han Tao's excellence. Although Han Tao was nominally Wang Manni's boyfriend, Zhong Xiaoqin had asked Han Tao for help.

However, Chen Yu never liked Wang Manni from the beginning to the end. He thought that she was too materialistic and was not worthy of Han Tao's conditions. So it was not impossible for him to fall in love with someone else.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu pulled Zhong Xiaoqin to the stairwell and said, "Xiaoqin, I'll take you there later. We need to prepare some things for Dad's hospitalization. I'll help you pack."

Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head, opened Chen Yu's hand and said, "No, I can go back by myself. Your company is so busy, don't delay your work, and that's my dad!"

"I'm sorry, I can't change it right now. Let me take you there. This way I can take you back and save your mom from worrying about it."

"Well... forget it. You're usually very busy, and my mom knows about it. If she asks, I'll explain it to her."

After hearing what Chen Yu said, Zhong Xiaoqin felt that it made some sense and wanted to agree, but she swallowed her words back just as she was about to agree.

She is not living in a hotel or at Gu Jia's place now, but with Wang Manni, so her things are all there, and it is not appropriate for Chen Yu to go there.

Seeing her hesitation, Chen Yu suddenly felt that his guess was correct, otherwise Zhong Xiaoqin would not be so hesitant. This also made him feel that something was wrong with him, as if he was a little cheated.

However, he didn't ask directly. After all, they were divorced, so he changed the subject and asked in a roundabout way:

"Xiaoqin, when are you going to tell your parents about our divorce?"

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin sighed and responded, "I haven't thought about it yet. Mainly because my dad got sick before I could. Have you told your mom?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "Not yet, there's been a lot of work at work lately, so I haven't had time."

After hearing this answer and thinking about the doctor's words, Zhong Xiaoqin said with some embarrassment: "Then I have a favor to ask of you. Don't tell your mother about our divorce yet.

When I was pregnant, they communicated with each other very quickly, but my dad is in this state now, so he can’t get too excited.”

"I understand. Your father cannot be stimulated. I will keep it secret from my mother for a while."

"Thank you. I will tell them slowly after my dad gets better."

Seeing Zhong Xiaoqin's relieved look, Chen Yu felt even worse, so he continued to ask:

"By the way, Xiaoqin, where do you live now? Even though you got some money when we divorced, you can't squander it recklessly.

It's too wasteful to always stay in a hotel, and it's not suitable to stay at Gu Jia's place for a long time. Why don't you consider my previous suggestion? After all, you own half of the house. "

"No, I told you, that's the one your company gave me. I don't want it. Besides, I live with Manny now. She has a big place there. It's just a few steps downstairs to the company, so it's convenient for work. I don't need to change."

When Chen Yu heard Zhong Xiaoqin say this, his suspicions were instantly confirmed, so he lost his temper and said, "Zhong Xiaoqin, I was wondering why Han Tao brought you here so promptly, and even arrived before me.

He was so eager to help just now, I thought he was overly enthusiastic. It seems like your relationship is complicated. Are you planning to steal your bestie's boyfriend?"

If it was Zhong Xiaoyang who accompanied Zhong Xiaoqin to the hospital today, although Chen Yu would have thought too much, he would not have such a strong sense of crisis. However, it was different for Han Tao. When they stood together, they looked like a perfect match.

Especially Zhong Xiaoqin's dressing style is different, and of course the quality has improved a lot. When the two of them were together just now, he looked more compatible than himself and Zhong Xiaoqin were together.

Although Chen Yu didn't know much about brand-name clothing, as a reporter he was not completely ignorant. The clothes on Zhong Xiaoqin looked not cheap at first glance, so Chen Yu felt a little insecure.

...............

Chapter 593 Confession of Relationship

Zhong Xiaoqin didn't expect Chen Yu to say that, so her face darkened and she said, "Chen Yu, what do you mean? We're already divorced, so it's my freedom to decide who I like!"

"I'm concerned about you. Even though we're divorced, I can't watch you fall!"

"Care about me?"

Zhong Xiaoqin snorted coldly, staring at Chen Yu angrily, and said unhappily, "You care about me now, but what were you doing before? I begged you to pay more attention to me before, but you were too lazy to respond every time.

Think about it, have you ever cared about me in all these years? The most common thing you do is not answer the phone, don't reply to messages, either you are busy with work, or have dinner with fish friends, even when you go home, the first thing you do is play with your useless fish. When have you ever looked me in the eye?

Now that we're divorced, you say you care about me again. Thank you so much. My mom made a mistake asking you to come here. Go away. I won't have to keep you, such a busy person, waiting for me anymore!"

Seeing how angry Zhong Xiaoqin was, Chen Yu also realized that his emotions were a little off. Since he was planning to make her change her mind, he couldn't let things get awkward, so he took a step back and said:

"This is a hospital. I won't argue with you, lest your parents notice and affect your condition. Let's talk about it later. I'll take you back to get your things first."

"Don't say anything. We have nothing more to discuss. I can go back and get the things myself. If you really care about the time we were husband and wife, please help me keep it a secret for a while. I will tell them as soon as possible."

"Who do you think I am? The matter between us can be settled by ourselves. The reason why I insist on sending you off is because I'm afraid that you won't be able to answer when your mother asks why I didn't accompany you."

Zhong Xiaoqin gritted her teeth and said with great determination, "It's not difficult to answer. At worst, I can tell her the truth. As long as my dad doesn't know about it for the time being, it's fine. He will tell her sooner or later anyway."

Seeing his tough attitude, Chen Yu said helplessly: "Since you don't appreciate it, forget it. Anyway, I tried my best. Just don't regret it."

"I never regret anything I do. I don't regret divorcing you, nor do I regret ever loving you. Chen Yu, let's part ways amicably. Thank you for coming here today. Go back and rest. I'll talk to Mom myself."

After saying that, Zhong Xiaoqin turned around and left the stairwell, walking towards the ward, leaving Chen Yu alone with a face full of resentment and anger. It was wrong for him to follow her, and it was also wrong not to follow her.

However, he didn't notice that after Zhong Xiaoqin turned around, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. She once thought that she had found love and married for love.

But when I turned thirty, I found out that the reason why my ex-husband was with me was so strange. It was because he was easy and worry-free, because I didn't bother others, and because his family was stable. It's ridiculous to think about it.

Although she looks young and has a rather Buddhist personality, many people think she is cute and simple, but she is not stupid, and she is not impulsive to be with Han Tao.

After this period of contact, she found that Han Tao was really attentive. Even though they were rarely together, he always made sure to explain everything, take care of everything, and respond to everything. He was the most reliable and doting person she had ever met.

...........................

Just as Zhong Xiaoqin was walking towards the ward, recalling the details of her acquaintance with Han Tao, Zhong's mother was already waiting at the door.

Seeing her daughter coming over, she anxiously grabbed her and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoqin, did you divorce Chen Yu? What was the reason?"

"Mom, did you force Han Tao to answer?"

Zhong Xiaoqin came back to her senses and asked a question. She immediately realized that their affair had been exposed. However, she had already planned to confess to her mother first, so she couldn't help but roll her eyes and said:

"This is true. I got divorced the day after my birthday. Didn't Han Tao tell you the reason?"

"Xiao Han gave a simple explanation, but I still can't believe it. How dare you be so bold as to not even discuss such a big thing with me?

You kept it a secret from me for so long, and you found a new boyfriend so quickly. If the neighbors knew about this, how would they see you?

Hearing her mother say this, Zhong Xiaoqin muttered unconvincedly: "I don't care what others think. I'm not having an extramarital affair. I divorced first and then got together with Han Tao.

Who says divorces require a long, drawn-out, life-or-death struggle? I didn't cry, make a scene, or even commit suicide. Instead, I took the initiative to heal the wounds. There's nothing wrong with actively pursuing happiness!

"You're still being stubborn. Don't you understand that people's words are scary?"

Mother Zhong pinched her daughter Zhong Xiaoqin and continued angrily, "People who know you say you divorced first, and people who don't know you will definitely say you divorced because of infidelity. Otherwise, how could you find a new boyfriend so quickly?

Those who have nothing to do, mother-in-law, the parents who like to gossip about other people's families are short-sighted. As the saying goes, people have two mouths, and saliva drowns people. Can you explain this kind of thing clearly? "

"I'm not afraid. How could you just watch me get bullied? In our neighborhood, or rather, in the area around Shaanxi South Road, my mom is the director of the Women's Federation, and her word is final. She can influence public opinion."

"Just a chatterbox!"

After saying that, Zhong's mother couldn't help but hit Zhong Xiaoqin's arm a few more times, then stretched out her hand and said, "Give it to me!"

Looking at her mother's outstretched hand, Zhong Xiaoqin was a little confused: "What do you want?"

"What else? A divorce certificate!" Mother Zhong rolled her eyes at her and reminded her unhappily.

"Oh!"

Zhong Xiaoqin reacted and took out the divorce certificate from her bag and put it in her mother's hand. She had planned to go home and confront her mother today, so she brought her marriage certificate with her.

Mother Zhong took the divorce certificate, opened it and looked at it. She felt that it didn't look fake, so she became even angrier and couldn't help but lecture him:

"You damn girl, you really got divorced! How dare you not discuss such a big thing with us?

You told me about your father's current condition. What will happen if he finds out? When he is discharged from the hospital, I will definitely give you a good beating!"

"Just clean it up, it's already like this anyway!"

"You just do it. Chen Yu is such a good person. He has a high education and a good job. Although he has a weird temper and works a little overtime, he is steady and steady!"

As she spoke, Zhong's mother realized that Chen Yu was not there, and hurriedly asked, "I almost made you lose your temper. Where is Chen Yu? Wasn't he here just now?"

"I asked him to leave. Now he's no longer your son-in-law. It's inappropriate for him to be staring at you here!"

"Then what are you going to do? Should you tell me the reason, including how you and Xiao Han met, and why you two got together just after divorce?"

"This is a long story. I'll tell you slowly when I have time. Let's go see my dad first!"

After all, Zhong Xiaoqin took her mother's arm and walked into the ward, but when Zhong's mother saw that her husband was still awake, she offered to keep an eye on her and asked Zhong Xiaoqin to go back and pack up her things before coming back.

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin looked at her father, then nodded and left the ward, sending a message to Han Tao as she walked out.

When she received the reply and learned that Han Tao had not left yet and had already arranged an appointment with an expert, she ran out happily.

………………

Chapter 594: Meeting with Zhong Xiaoqin's Parents

After settling the matters at the hospital, Han Tao sent Zhong Xiaoqin back to Grand Hyatt Residence. Wang Manni, who learned that Zhong Xiaoqin's father was hospitalized, handed over her work to several supervisors and returned to the 20th floor.

After the three of them chatted for a while, Han Tao sat on the balcony to make a phone call, while Zhong Xiaoqin packed her things while chatting with Wang Manni.

"Manny, you really don't have to make this trip, or you'll be delayed for the rest of your afternoon."

"It's okay, Xiaoqin. My shop isn't busy, so it won't matter if I take an entire afternoon. Besides, it's already past three o'clock. Tell me why your uncle suddenly had a heart attack. Is it because of you?"

"My dad's illness has nothing to do with us going back. He was feeling unwell before we even left. But Manny, I told my mom about it when I was in the hospital..."

Zhong Xiaoqin was explaining the whole story, but before she finished, her cell phone suddenly rang. She realized it was her mother calling, so she quickly answered it.

But before she could say anything, Zhong's mother on the other end of the phone asked, "Xiaoqin, are you still with Manny?"

Listening to the voice, Zhong Xiaoqin felt that her mother's tone was not right, so she couldn't help but asked worriedly: "What's wrong, Mom? I just got my things and was about to go back. Is there something wrong with my dad?"

"No, no, your dad is fine. I just want to ask you, is Xiao Han still with you?"

"Oh, I'm glad you're okay. I was startled by your impatience."

Zhong Xiaoqin patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "Han Tao was on the balcony making a phone call, and Manni and I were getting something in the bedroom. Do you want to talk to him about something?"

Hearing that Han Tao was still there, Zhong's mother responded, "I'm not looking for him, it's your father who wants to see Xiao Han. Ask him later if he has time. If he does, you can all come together."

"My dad has woken up and knows about our situation?"

When Zhong Xiaoqin heard what her mother said, she widened her eyes and asked in surprise.

Mother Zhong glanced at her husband and nodded, "Well, your father has woken up, and Director Huang brought several experts to consult with your father. They said that the problem is not serious and there is no need for a stent.

However, he needs to be observed for a few days before being discharged, and he will need to undergo regular checkups after discharge. But your father doesn't need to run back and forth, the hospital said that a dedicated doctor will come to the house."

"Mom, are you sure you heard correctly? The hospital has organized a specialist consultation? And the family doctor regularly checks on my dad? This joke is not funny at all. Do you think my dad is the dean or a city leader?"

"How can you talk like that, kid? I'm not old enough to be unable to hear you clearly!"

When Mrs. Zhong heard her daughter's words, she rolled her eyes and continued:

"All this is thanks to Xiao Han. I heard from your father's attending physician that Xiao Han is acquainted with the hospital director, and he has set up a medical aid fund and donated some equipment to the hospital.

Now your father has been moved to a high-end ward. Although I don't know how much it will cost, judging by the hospital's attitude and the importance they place on your father, it should be a considerable sum. After all, this is not a private hospital."

"Okay, I understand, Mom. We'll go there right away. I'll also ask Han Tao what's going on. Please take good care of my dad. As long as he's okay, that's all that matters. I was afraid that his condition would get worse if he knew!"
