"It isn't just me, the whole Ji family knows. Both of you are too wayward. Divorce is such a big thing. Why didn't you tell us?" Ji Liunian was such a good person. Many women dreamt of becoming his wife. Where could she find such an outstanding son-in-law?
When Madam Xu heard the news, she wanted to reprimand Xu Zhiyin.
Xu Zhiyin's heart throbbed with pain. This was not done according to her wish. "Anyway, we have divorced. This is our problem."
Although she knew the Xu family had been getting benefits from her marriage with Ji Liunian, these three years, her parents had not missed the opportunity to expand their business.
Even if they had divorced, it would not affect the Xu family too much.
Madam Xu did her best to convince her, "Zhiyin, I'm doing this for your sake! Liunian treated you well these three years. He's such a good man and you can't find another one like him in this world. Don't you think it's a pity to be divorced?"
Xu Zhiyin's eyes, which were filled with the fighting spirit had now dulled. How could she not understand what her mother had just said?
However, Ji Liunian didn't love her. Could she force him to love her?
"Mother, we'll talk about this matter later!" Xu Zhiyin didn't want to talk about this now. It was with difficulty that she had temporarily forgotten the wound of divorce and put her focus on her work. Now that her mother mentioned it, she started feeling upset again.
Madam Xu did not intend to let her go, "Tell me honestly, is it because Chu Xia is back? Is that why you are divorced?" Everyone knew Ji Liunian liked Chu Xia.
However, everyone also knew Chu Xia had eloped with a man.
Today was no longer what it was before. Chu Xia was no longer the daughter-in-law whom the Ji family recognized.
Xu Zhiyin did not deny and her mother immediately understood. "Alright, I understand. I'll clarify this matter."
"Mother," Xu Zhiyin pleaded, "please don't give us additional trouble. It's meaningless doing anything at this moment. We have divorced." All the procedures had been completed. Even if her mother didn't agree, her marriage could not be saved anymore.
It was a pity her mother didn't understand what she said at all, "Where are you now? I'm at your house now. Come home quickly."
The house which she meant was probably the place Ji Liunian and Xu Zhiyin had stayed previously.
Xu Zhiyin replied, "But I'm working now."
"I've called the hospital and they said you were not at work." Madam Xu added, "No excuses, come home quickly."
She couldn't afford to see her daughter divorce with Ji Liunian.
Xu Zhiyin's head was aching. If her mother went to look for Ji Liunian now, she would lose her pride.
Xu Zhiyin ended the call and walked out of the room and saw Gu Nantian standing at the door. She requested, "Mr. Gu, I wish to go home for a while."
If she did not go home, she couldn't imagine what her mother would be up to.
Although Gu Nantian said he did not allow her to go, she wanted to try. Now that she was in a special situation, she felt Gu Nantian would understand her.
Gu Nantian heard what she said and ordered Qiao who was standing not far from them, "Qiao, prepare a car for Dr. Xu and send her home."
Xu Zhiyin thought her request would be declined but she was surprised when he gave her the permission to go home. She looked at Gu Nantian and thanked him, "Thank you."
Gu Nantian sent her downstairs. The driver was ready. Gu Nantian looked at her and said, "I hope you will come back here yourself in the afternoon."
Xu Zhiyin was taken aback. She had not thought about whether to come back or not.
Gu Nantian laughed. "Don't worry, even if you're not willing to come back, I'll go and look for you."
His look made Xu Zhiyin feel like a prey that couldn't escape.
"Dr. Xu, please get into the car." Qiao opened the car door for her.
Xu Zhiyin uttered, "Thank you."
Qiao reminded her, "Dr. Xu, about Mr. Gu's loss of memory, I hope you can keep it a secret."
Qiao had told her last night that since Gu Nantian was a dominant figure, if the news of his memory loss were to spread, it would not be good for him.
Xu Zhiyin assured him, "I know."
She was a doctor. Even if Qiao did not bring it up, she knew what she had to do.
From Gu Nantian's mansion, Xu Zhiyin let the driver drop her at a place near her house. As the Gu family's car was eye-catching, she didn't want to do any unnecessary explanation.
Ji Liunian and her residence was a three-story little villa. The outer wall was filled with flower vines.
Returning once again to their house, Xu Zhiyin had mixed feelings. Actually, it was good she came back too as she could pack her things.
She pushed open the door of the courtyard and walked in. The main door of the villa was opened. Xu Zhiyin could hear her mother's voice from outside.
Mother was indeed here!
Xu Zhiyin came in and found that Ji Liunian was there. He looked like he had just woke up. He was wearing casual home wear and this set of clothes was bought by Xu Zhiyin for him, but…
"You're home." Ji Liunian stood up immediately when he saw Xu Zhiyin.
Although he didn't make it obvious, Xu Zhiyin could sense that he treated her as his life saver.
Xiu Zhiyin nodded. Ji Liunian was not good at facing her mother. When she was not around, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Xu Zhiyin walked to her mother and said helplessly, "Mother, didn't I tell you not to come?"
"Why can't I come?" Madam Xu said strongly, "This is my daughter's house. Why can't I be here?"
"You know…" Xu Zhiyin bit her lips. She couldn't bring herself to say they had divorced.
Her mother knew about their divorce but still came here to say these words. She had not considered her standpoint.
Madam Xu looked at Ji Liunian. "Why, Liunian doesn't welcome me here?"
Ji Liunian had always respected the elderly and cherished the young. He quickly said, "No, no, Mother, you can come anytime you like."
"Isn't that fine?" Madam Xu uttered, "Liunian didn't say anything. However, you seem to hope I wouldn't come?"
"Mother," Xu Zhiyin said, "you're too much."
Of course, Ji Liunian couldn't say he didn't welcome her, could he? No doubt, she was an elderly but she should not put people in an awkward position.
Ji Liunian told Xu Zhiyin, "Zhiyin, no worries. Mother rarely comes here. You accompany her!"
Xu Zhiyin was grateful for his thoughtfulness.
Even after their divorce, he still respected her mother and did not embarrass anyone.
She replied, "I'll go upstairs to pack my things. After that, I'll leave. Mother, please wait for me here."
Since she was back, Xu Zhiyin wished to pack her things so she need not come back another time.
She liked Ji Liunian and did not wish to part with him but now, another look at him would widen her wound by another inch.
Ji Liunian wanted to say something but before he could do so, Xu Zhiyin had gone upstairs.
The master bedroom was on the second floor. Although Ji Liunian rarely came home, Xu Zhiyin had been living here.
She opened the room door and went in. Their wedding photo hung from the wall. When she saw the wedding photo, her tears almost fell and she forced them back in.
That moment, she saw a beautiful woman sitting on the couch. She was wearing Xu Zhiyin's pajamas and she sat with her legs crossed on the couch, showing off her sexy long legs, with a cigarette between her fingers…
This woman, was Chu Xia!
