Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Gu Wei Goes to Forage Wild Vegetables

Xi Wanlin’s complexion drastically changed.

“Hengze, what are you talking about? Why do you want a divorce?”

Usually, looking at Li Hengze felt bothersome, almost negligible, but when he mentioned divorce, Xi Wanlin actually felt her heart splitting in two.

Initially, Li Hengze choked up, but then began to cry bitterly, “I know you have never loved me, you love Lu Lei. You met him too late, and the child in your stomach is probably his, since last month I only touched you twice, and those two times I ejaculated outside. Linlin, I’ll let you two be together, and I’ll also transfer that apartment to you…”

“No, Hengze, Hengze…” Xi Wanlin wanted to explain, but Li Hengze had already hung up the phone.

At that moment, she felt as if half of her sky had collapsed. She had schemed so hard to marry into the Li Family for their status, hadn’t she? If she divorced Li Hengze, she would lose everything.

She immediately dressed up and went to the bar operated by Li Hengze.

However, the staff at the bar told her that Li Hengze hadn’t come to work for several days.

She hastily went to the Li Family home.

The Li Family likely didn’t know about their situation yet. Her mother-in-law even asked her, “Why did you come back alone?”

“Mom, where’s Hengze?”

“Isn’t he always with you? He even said you were pregnant and should come back less often. He wanted to arrange a nanny to go over there too.”

“Mom, if Hengze comes back, please let me know.”

The mother-in-law looked at her bewildered, “Did you two have a fight?”

“There’s been a little misunderstanding.”

“That shouldn’t be, Hengze always indulges you. You say ‘east’ and he wouldn’t dare go ‘west’. How could you have fought with him?”

Xi Wanlin said, “Mom, it’s a long story, I’m going to look for him again.”

However, Xi Wanlin still couldn’t find him.

She realized that she knew very little about him; all this time, she only knew she wanted to marry into the Li Family, but she had never truly entered Li Hengze’s life, including who his friends were, his likes, and where he would go when he was upset.

Now, she felt like a headless fly.

The next day, she received a divorce agreement brought by Li Hengze’s assistant. Still harboring feelings from the past, he would transfer the current apartment to her and also give her five million.

Xi Wanlin refused to sign, telling the assistant, “I don’t want to sign. I’ve decided to live properly with him. I will abort the child and from now on, only be with him alone.”

Li Hengze’s assistant, who often frequented bars and had quite a personality, treated Xi Wanlin as he would those who liked to play hardball in the bars, “Hengze has photos and videos of your cheating. If you refuse to sign, we’ll see you in court, and you’ll be completely disgraced and get nothing.”

“Why is he so ruthless?” Xi Wanlin covered her face and cried.

The assistant said, “He did truly love you. He could endure your coldness and your insults, but the one thing he couldn’t bear was you making him a cuckold. That’s the pain of all men worldwide. For such an incident to occur, it’s already very kind of him not to attack you and that adulterer.”

Xi Wanlin’s heart was severely pained.

Due to his tolerance and indulgence, she constantly tested his limits, and this time she had finally gone too far.

“You better sign quickly. Once signed, he will notify you to process the divorce.” The assistant’s tone was quite uncompromising.

Xi Wanlin stared blankly at the agreement.

Li Hengze had already signed it, only her signature was missing.

Her hands trembled, barely able to hold the pen, thus she couldn’t bring herself to sign.

The assistant reminded her again, “If you don’t sign today, once Hengze’s parents find out, you probably won’t get a single penny. You should know the Li Family’s ways.”

Xi Wanlin shivered and then quickly signed her name.

After the assistant left with the agreement, she collapsed on the ground, speechless.

…

By February, the weather in Yun City was no longer so cold, a coat was no longer needed, just a hoodie with a light jacket would do.

After work, Su Meixi ate the dishes cooked by Gu Wei and curiously asked, “What is this?”

“Scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, the toon was dug up when your sister-in-law took me along.”

“You even went with your sister-in-law to dig wild vegetables?”

“Yes, just 3 kilometers behind our community, there’s a piece of land that has been acquired by developers, but they still haven’t built anything on it. Now that it’s spring, there are wild vegetables everywhere, and your sister-in-law said she will take me to dig some more tomorrow.”

Su Meixi looked at her husband and laughed, “Are you worried that you will be too busy in the new job, so you are enjoying the leisurely days early?”

“Digging wild vegetables is also quite tiring, okay? Eat more, don’t let my hard work go to waste.” He put more vegetables into her bowl with his chopsticks.

Su Meixi happily ate.

Gu Wei had been home for more than ten days; she came back home every day to eat, and if she couldn’t make it, he would bring food to her, gaining 3 pounds as a result.

“Gu Wei, shall I ask the leader if I can take my annual leave as well, while you are free, so we can go on a trip? It’s just that I was not on duty during the Spring Festival, so I can adjust my holidays.”

“Sure, where do you want to go?”

“Let’s go to Li City or Li City, isn’t it said to be a vacation paradise? I have never been there.”

Gu Wei said, “Okay, then you ask for leave, and I will arrange the itinerary.”

“Great, I’ll talk to the leader tomorrow.”

After dinner, Su Meixi took the initiative to wash the dishes.

He was digging wild vegetables again and cooked the meal; she did not want him to be too tired.

In her eyes, being loved and loving someone are both equal; you need to have the ability to be loved and the ability to love someone. If one person does all the chores, that’s not fair for men either.

After Su Meixi finished washing the dishes, she saw Gu Wei turning on the TV and watching a drama.

She took a paper towel, wiped her hands, and asked, “What drama are you watching?”

“A mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama recommended by the sisters-in-law, they said it’s pretty good.”

Su Meixi came over, just in time to see a scene where the mother-in-law was being commanding and the daughter-in-law was being submissive, with the husband acting as a go-between.

Su Meixi asked, “What’s good about this drama?”

“Just watching casually so as not to be out of touch. Next time they might not include me if there is something good, what should I do?”

Su Meixi punched him, “I’ve realized that you have the potential to be a great confidant.”

“Before you all said we are straightforward iron men who don’t understand romance, shouldn’t I learn a thing or two?”

Su Meixi laughed to death.

Strangely enough, the drama initially looked cliched about mother-in-law issues but it was quite close to real life, and the actors performed well, so Su Meixi actually continued watching it.

There were several mothers-in-law in the drama, some dominant, some weak, and some pretending to be weak but actually manipulative.

There was one particularly like Wang Bing’s mother-in-law, very good at playing pitiful, always crying when things happened, often frustrating the daughter-in-law incredibly, yet the daughter-in-law could do nothing about her.

Wondering how Wang Bing was doing?
