Chapter 407: Chapter 407

Yao Shimin looked at the time; it was already six-thirty. He told the two elderly people that he was leaving. He had to go early to make arrangements.

"Shimin, wait, there’s some wine at home. Take it with you; don’t let them be without wine." Father Yao hurriedly called after his son.

"Dad, keep it for yourself. The restaurant has wine."

No matter how old they are, in the eyes of their parents, they are always children, always on their mind.

He hadn’t been gone for a quarter of an hour when the old couple from the Yu family arrived.

The couple from the Yao family were both shy people, so the four of them sat there without knowing what to say.

It was finally Yu’s mother who couldn’t sit still. "In-laws, we, this couple, have come to apologize. We’re truly sorry." The source of thɪs content is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵

The Yao couple exchanged glances. "Sister-in-law, don’t say that. They’ve already divorced, so let’s leave it at that." Even if they’re shy, they still have to say what’s necessary.

"That damned little girl really doesn’t know how to cherish her blessings, such a good family." As Yu’s mother spoke, she started crying, but suddenly stopped, wiping her tears. She was here to apologize, not to make enemies, so how could she cry at someone else’s house?

"Sister-in-law, it’s already , let them live their own lives from now on. It can be said they will never cross paths again."

The Yu couple came with the intention of trying to reconcile, but hearing such a firm attitude, they knew there was no hope at all.

The four awkwardly sat for a while longer. "Where is Shimin?" Yu’s father asked, as they couldn’t just sit there doing nothing.

"He’s feeling down. A friend invited him out for dinner."

After Yao’s father spoke, the atmosphere became even more awkward. The Yu couple couldn’t sit still any longer.

"In-laws, I know Wen Su can’t be forgiven. Today, we’re here to say sorry. We truly haven’t taught our daughter well."

"Sister-in-law, there’s nothing to forgive or not. It’s already , so let’s move on."

The Yu couple knew the Yao family were honest people, but seeing them speak so firmly, there really wasn’t anything else to say.

The two awkwardly smiled, stood up to say goodbye, wanting to leave.

"Sister-in-law, there are still things of Wen Su at home. Let her come back over the weekend to get them."

This made the Yu couple even more embarrassed, unable to say anything, they nodded and quickly left.

The couple walked down the street, not knowing what to say. It was truly humiliating.

Yao Shimin arrived at the restaurant and hurried to find the manager here, ordering the best dishes.

There were fish, meat, and eggs. This was already very good. There were eleven people; wine couldn’t be left out, so they ordered ten bottles.

By seven o’clock, everyone had arrived.

"Shimin, have you arranged everything? I also brought a pot of dog meat, another dish." Xiangzi said with a smile.

"You’re always finding good food." Dongzi teased his childhood friend.

"Of course, we have lots of friends."

"Everyone, sit down; Dongzi handles the wine."

Yao Shimin smiled and said, "Everyone, don’t be shy; if the wine isn’t enough, there’s still more."

"Is today a celebration of you finally leaving the bitter sea?" Xiangzi said without a filter.

The other friends glared at him, really saying what shouldn’t be mentioned at all.

Xiangzi realized this too, apologetically laughed, "Minzi, sorry."

Yao Shimin smiled, "It’s okay. I’m not very sad. We were introduced to each other, didn’t interact much, and I’ve been out of town since getting married, how much feeling could there be?

The uncomfortable part is just about face. It’s okay, you don’t have to mind."

"Minzi, you are really quite pitiful, but that Yu Wensu is really something. If you didn’t like it, you should have just separated immediately, why drag it out?" Xiangzi laughed, teasing his brother.

Lin Zi smiled mysteriously, "I specially inquired today; that man’s name is Sun Wenqing, thirty-eight years old this year. He’s not local; his wife and children aren’t here.

I heard that Yu Wensu is the one pursuing, and she wants to divorce, but the man is unwilling to marry her."

Dongzi rolled his eyes at Lin Zi, "Do you know everything? How did you find out?"

"Once they argued, her colleagues heard it. This was from my sister’s classmate’s sister-in-law, that’s why I knew. Minzi, I also went home and talked to my family, that’s how they revealed it. I didn’t know before, really, if I had known earlier, I’d definitely tell you, not let my brother wear a green hat."

"I know, I believe you."

Several people swapped drinks. Brother Yong kept smiling while drinking and eating, not participating in their conversation.

"Minzi, you should hurry up and settle down. Look, our kids are already in primary school. You’re really falling behind."

"I also want to, go back and find someone there, so there won’t be distance between us."

"Exactly, that’s how it should be. You’re the deputy factory director, good-looking, it should be easy to find a wife."

"Not necessarily, go back and ask the union lady for help. They like doing this."

"Minzi, all these years you’ve never found someone you like?"

"Xiangzi, you really don’t understand Minzi, he’s just not that kind of person."

Yao Shimin smiled and shook his head, "I really never paid attention before. When I left, my parents hoped I’d find a wife here at home, so I couldn’t indulge myself and hurt other people, right?"

"Minzi, do your parents agree with you finding someone over there now?"

"They agree, they’re very regretful, afraid I’ll get hurt, but you should know, the embarrassment comes only from a man’s pride and face.

I’m planning to buy a house there, and in the future, when my parents retire, they’ll go there too."

"You’re not planning to come back?"

"How could I not come back? This is my root, but I can only come back less frequently.

In the future, you can all visit T City."

"Minzi, isn’t your secretary a female colleague? Can’t she work? Being together all the time, no feelings have developed? Or your colleagues should have female coworkers too?

Being together constantly will save you from worrying."

"They are all married. Some even have kids. No suitable colleagues."

"You, amongst us, you look the best, are obedient, and well-behaved. But your marriage is the most troublesome."

Yao Shimin nodded, raised his glass to Brother Yong, and drank it all in one go, "Yes, how could it be so troubled? I’m the only child in my family; my parents are anxious. Maybe I shouldn’t get married and just adopt a child, saving the hassle."

As soon as he said it, the image of the little girl Jiang Feifei appeared in his mind. How nice to have her as a daughter? But then thinking of Jiang Xinyu, he shook his head again. That couldn’t possibly happen; Jiang Xinyu would definitely not agree. Maybe even if he wanted to recognize her as his goddaughter, she wouldn’t agree to it.
