Xiang Weilai slowly raised her head, which had been lowered all this ti, and looked at Ye Ling with a smile. Ye Ling didn’t know why but just felt guilty.
"Actually, Liu Zhiyuan did co to see , but when I tell you this, it’s not because of what he said, it’s because I hope you can be happy. The way you two are now, isn’t it just torturing each other? It’s better to let go, and each look for your own happiness."
"I want to let go, but she won’t agree." Xiang Weilai slowly brought an apple to her mouth, took a bite, and started eating, "Even if I treat her this way for a lifeti, she won’t agree to a divorce, Ye Ling, you wouldn’t understand how stubborn she is. If she were loved by a man, he would definitely like her this way, but I don’t love her. Even the affection I had for her like a sister was gradually worn away by her. I don’t want to argue with her; if I ntion divorce, she’ll make a fuss for a long ti, so it’s better not to ntion it and just live like this."
Ye Ling looked at him, her heart wrenching again, "Has no one tried to persuade her? The other day she ca to see at ho, and from what she said, I thought she’d understood a lot of things; but hearing you now, perhaps her true self only reveals in front of you."
"Do you think everyone is like you?" Xiang Weilai laughed, "I heard you ca back to rest and nurture your baby, and I’ve been wanting to co back and see, but then I heard about your premature birth. So what do you plan to do now? Maybe you should make a bold move and let everyone know, to stop thinking you’re easygoing and trying to manipulate you."
Ye Ling, upon hearing this, teased, "Speaking of which, was it you who spread the word about Ye Qian through Zhao Guodong and the others? I’m not afraid of what Ye Qian might do since there’s still soone on the other side who considers her a gem. Just wait and see, I bet she’ll co here causing a ruckus soon enough."
Xiang Weilai knew she wasn’t truly blaming him, "Don’t worry about this, I had Zhao Guodong and the others block her over there, otherwise you think why Zhao Guodong and the others haven’t co over? Once she’s dealt with at Si Daochen’s side, then it’ll quiet down here for you."
Ye Ling thought for a bit and understood his intention; a country boy like Si Daochen still coveting soone else’s wife, and that soone else’s wife is the one the mother has always valued, Ye Qian. Based on mother’s nature, she wouldn’t easily let Si Daochen go—that would be the least of the commotion.
As they were talking, Shen Bin, who had gone out on the excuse of getting food, ca back, still with an anxious look on his face. Seeing nothing was wrong in the room, he said, "I ran into Ye Qian outside."
No wonder he hurried back; it’s probably because Ye Qian was causing a fuss again.
Ye Ling smiled and said, "It’s nothing, she just ca to apologize."
Xiang Weilai, continuing to gnaw on her apple, didn’t move. She watched as Shen Bin poured porridge for Ye Ling and fed her, a smile in her eyes, looking lazily content, but only he understood the permanent sense of loss in his heart.
As it was nearing noon, Zhao Guodong and the others walked in laughing, and without waiting to be asked, began recounting, "As soon as Aunt Bai got to Si Daochen’s, she scratched him, and many people ca over to intervene. Aunt Bai accused Si Daochen of having bad intentions, causing even the higher-ups to be alard. After persuading Aunt Bai, they promised her an explanation, only then was she pacified and left, and Si Daochen’s work was put on hold for an investigation."
"I never liked him since school days; he really isn’t a good person." Wang Ping chid in.
Zhao Guodong then suggested going out for a drink with Xiang Weilai, who didn’t hesitate, said a few words to Ye Ling, and left with the group, leaving Liu Nan to take care of Ye Ling.
With the ward quiet again, Liu Nan smiled and said, "Our application with Zhao Guodong has been approved. We plan to get our marriage certificate in the afternoon, won’t bother with a ceremony, it’s just living together anyway. My parents are not in the country, so it’s enough when my grandpa has ti to co see us."
"You’re not shy at all are you." Ye Ling covered her mouth, smiling and congratulating her, "Arrangents on Zhang Zhenlian’s side have also been made; the school leaders will definitely talk to her. As for Ye Qian, I plan to take this opportunity to talk with her, and figure out the details of her miscarriage, I’ll need your help when the ti cos."
They arranged when Liu Nan should bring Ye Qian over to find her, and when to have people listen secretly from outside, before starting to talk about Xiang Weilai’s matters.
"You kept it so tight, I only just found out that you two used to date." Liu Nan looked a little unhappy, "But when you bring up his matters now, I think maybe you should find ti to talk with Liu Rui?"
"That’s not easy, I’d rather just leave it alone, Weilai has her own plans too." Ye Ling didn’t want to talk about it, just thinking about it made her upset, "When are Yang Hui and Sui Gang planning to get married?"
Both of them have been transferred to one place, though they live separately, but it’s not a solution like this, not to ntion they’re not young anymore.
"Who knows about their matters, Sui Gang is always at the army, or drinking with Zhao Guodong and the others. I think settling down is not a big idea for him. Let’s not bother; if Yang Hui really considers us friends, she should talk to us. Instead, she is always holding on by herself, pretending to be happy in front of us. Since she chooses this path, let her stick it out herself." Liu Nan wasn’t fond of Yang Hui anymore.
Ye Ling smiled and said, "I never thought of interfering, as long as I live my life well, that’s enough for . Otherwise, trying to help others without much success could bring a lot of complaints back."
"Exactly..." Liu Nan’s sentence was cut short as soone suddenly burst through the door.
"Ye Ling, quickly go and persuade your mom, she’s threatening to jump off the building, right on the hospital’s rooftop." The person who burst in was Wu ngyi.
It turned out that after Bai Xue’s antics at the army, she went to find her daughter, only to stumble upon Wu ngyi, who had caught wind and was scolding Ye Qian. Bai Xue overheard and Wu ngyi blad Bai Xue for failing to raise a good daughter. Bai Xue retorted it was Ye Ling’s fault, not related to her daughter. Unable to out-argue Wu ngyi, Bai Xue got enraged, stord to the hospital looking for Ye Ling to settle scores, but was intercepted halfway by Ye Zhenfen, preventing her from eting Ye Ling, which led to the current scenario, where Bai Xue ended up on the hospital rooftop trying to jump off, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
Ye Ling was briefly stunned, but once she understood the aning of the words, she calmly said, "I’m in postpartum, it’s not appropriate for to et the wind, I can’t do anything if she wants to jump. If she truly has the courage to commit suicide, then at least I can respect her once."
Ye Ling’s calmness left the hastily arrived Wu ngyi frozen, "But she’s your mother, she’s threatening to jump?"
Wu ngyi was concerned about Bai Xue jumping because Bai Xue rushing to the hospital was partly due to her involvent; if Bai Xue did jump, she would also be criticized, so she rushed over. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have cared.
