Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 87 I don't want to talk to her at all

At first, Liu Changcun, as the father, couldn't stand his child's strange hairstyle.

He repeatedly asked the other person to cut his hair, but the stubborn boy, who was usually quite obedient, was unusually persistent when it came to cutting his hair.

It wasn't until the dinner table that Liu Changcun learned the real reason why his son had that hairstyle from his daughter.

A bad marriage can devastate all family members.

Not only Liu Changcun in the past, but also his siblings who were still minors were greatly affected.

The son, Liu Songyan, became increasingly withdrawn, and the daughter also began to become quiet and unwilling to communicate with others.

The unusual hairstyle might be a silent act of rebellion by the boy.

After learning this, Liu Changcun never mentioned asking the other person to cut their hair again.

I thought it would take some time for my son to emerge from the shadows of the past, but I never expected things to happen so suddenly.

On a very ordinary day, the second day after the start of summer vacation.

He cut his own hair by himself.

Liu Changcun, who had been silent, looked at the boy in front of him again, scrutinizing his uneven and unattractive hairstyle.

Perhaps it was because her father's gaze was too intense, but 14-year-old Liu Songyan finally felt shy.

Her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head, brushing the stray hairs that had fallen to the ground with the sole of her slipper.

"I'll go sweep the floor."

Muttering to himself, he got to work.

She found a broom and started sweeping the area in front of the bathroom, then kept running her hands through her hair to make sure there were no more stray hairs left.

Liu Wanqiu, holding the comic book, still had her mouth open.

She looked at her brother's entire face.

She suddenly felt that Liu Songyan in front of her was a complete stranger.

"Is this still my brother...?"

"Who else could it be but your brother?"

Liu Songyan let out a breath, wanting to respond coolly as he always had.

However, perhaps because his hair was cut, even though his vision had become clearer, he couldn't find the feeling he used to have.

Previously, Liu Songyan could only vaguely see people through their hair; now, he can see the world clearly with his eyes open.

It's like someone who's been secretly observing from the shadows, only to be suddenly thrown out of the public eye.

He can no longer fake the feeling he used to have.

Just as Liu Songyan was feeling extremely uncomfortable, a large hand landed on his shoulder.

The bewildered boy raised his face and looked at his father, whose face was full of relief.

Liu Changcun felt better.

Even his eldest son, who was the biggest worry for him at home and always caused him trouble, has changed.

Although she just cut her hair, this action is a sign that she is turning around for the better.

Looking at his son's face, the gratified father patted his son's shoulder twice more.

Looking at Liu Songyan's face, which appeared to be on different layers due to uneven exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays, one could see that the top and bottom were not on the same surface.

Let out a breath.

"Go wash your hair."

There was a pause.

"Take advantage of the recent hot weather and sunbathe your upper half of your face as much as possible."

"..."

The upper half of her face was pale because her hair was covering it, while the lower half of her face was a normal skin tone.

The boy blushed with shame; his father always managed to say things that broke him down without him even realizing it.

--------

June 7.

"The Temptation to Go Home" has become a hit drama, and as the plot unfolds, the name of the female lead, Liu Pinru, has also come into the view of audiences across the country.

She started out timid and submissive, was deceived by her seemingly true love husband, was harassed by her wealthy mother-in-law, and had her marriage interfered with by her best friend.

She experienced being cheated on, deceived, bullied, and lost the child she had finally conceived.

The plot may seem simple, but it can draw viewers in without them even realizing it.

As the story unfolds, the female lead, Liu Pinru, is reborn, completely transformed, and reappears as a wealthy heiress.

Her glamorous attire and exquisite jewelry at the banquet sparked considerable discussion online.

Many netizens who were attracted by the jewelry worn by the female lead flocked to the official account of the TV series to leave messages, requesting that the same jewelry worn by the female lead be released.

Wen Yunwei designed six sets of jewelry, from necklaces and earrings to bracelets... Each set is very different and matches the heroine's outfit perfectly with any scene in the plot.

The glamour of a banquet, the freshness of everyday life.

The previously overlooked senior began to shine, and just half a month after joining the production team, she received an invitation from a jewelry company.

They formally invited her to apply for a jewelry designer position.

"Thank you so much, junior!"

Sitting in the car, Wen Yunwei looked particularly happy.

"If you hadn't introduced me to the film crew, my work wouldn't have been recognized by the public."

In the passenger seat, Wen Yunwei was unusually happy, unlike her usual self. The usually quiet and reserved girl was unusually talkative, chattering on and on even after getting into the car.

Hearing the words coming from the passenger seat, Liu Changcun, who was driving, did not offer any opinion.

He waited until the other party calmed down a bit before offering his congratulations with a smile.

"It's also because of your own excellence that my drama has come into the public eye thanks to your design."

"I don't have that much ability... It's just that your drama itself is excellent."

"Alright, let's stop flattering each other. I'll take you there later and help you negotiate some terms."

"sorry to bother you."

The excitement subsided considerably. Although Wen Yunwei had experienced several failed interviews before joining the film crew, she still felt somewhat worried and nervous about stepping back into the design industry she loved.

Taking a deep breath, Wen Yunwei in the passenger seat tried to calm herself down.

After gradually calming down, he turned his gaze back to his left side.

Looking at Liu Changcun, who was focused on driving, he carefully examined the other's profile.

He was quite different from the junior he remembered.

Although the person is still the same, only more mature and composed over time, the change in personality is the main reason why she feels unfamiliar with them.

Liu Changcun used to be quiet. Even when Wen Yunwei first met him and was asked to help him apply for poverty relief, she thought he was just a quiet person.

It wasn't until they encountered a part they didn't know how to write when filling out the forms that the junior student finally spoke to the senior student. The junior student who used to be taciturn, even somewhat dull, has now grown into someone very reliable.

He was highly respected by most of the crew members, and even the lead actors would often chat with him.

Wen Yunwei, who was also on set, saw it all.

During her rest period, she kept a close eye on him.

It was through observation that she realized just how much Liu Changcun had changed.

Is there something on your face?

The question reached her ears, instantly snapping Wen Yunwei out of her daze.

She quickly turned her face back, muttering softly as if she didn't care.

"Nothing in particular, it's just that you've really changed a lot."

"You've said this kind of thing several times already, senior."

"Yeah……"

"People are going to change."

Liu Changcun began to speak, adding as if using himself as an example.

"You have to learn to analyze the reasons for a failed marriage. It's obvious that I used to value relationships too much, which caused my promising life to take a sharp turn and fall into a ditch."

"I never imagined Lin Wanran would turn out like that..."

Working in the same production crew, Wen Yunwei and Liu Changcun would occasionally chat and share their experiences.

It was through sharing their stories that they learned some details from each other.

Liu Changcun learned of Wen Yunwei's husband's death.

Wen Yunwei also learned about Liu Changcun's marriages over the years.

During high school, after Liu Changcun and Lin Wanran became a couple, Wen Yunwei, as the senior, felt she should keep her distance from him. But even so, Lin Wanran still couldn't tolerate her having any further contact with the junior.

After several incidents, Liu Changcun, a high school student, took the initiative to distance himself from his senior and completely cut off contact with her.

In Wen Yunwei's eyes, Liu Changcun undoubtedly liked Lin Wanran.

It could even be said that he couldn't live without her.

In Wen Yunwei's view, Lin Wanran also did not disappoint her junior's love, even if she was often jealous and refused to let him have any interaction with any member of the opposite sex.

To Wen Yunwei, who was still a minor at the time, these were all expressions of a desire to possess.

It was thought that the two people, who had mutual affection, would continue to live happily ever after after entering the hall of marriage.

Unexpectedly... it still ended in divorce.

The company that sent the invitation to Wen Yunwei this time is the same one that Lin Wanran works for.

When she went for her last interview, she submitted her resume with her portfolio after learning that the CEO of the jewelry company valued ability more than academic qualifications.

She never expected that the interviewer she encountered would be Lin Wanran. The humiliation she received made her realize that no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to get the job.

Disappointed, he left and prepared to give up sending out more resumes.

She later chose to set up a stall, where she met a junior from school who was out relaxing with his daughter. He encouraged her and then introduced her to the film crew as a fashion consultant.

The six sets of jewelry earned her nearly 10,000 yuan, which was a huge sum for Wen Yunwei, who was raising her daughter alone.

Originally, Wen Yunwei, who was on set with the film crew, planned to go by herself after receiving the invitation.

Liu Changcun was a little worried, fearing that she might sign a fraudulent contract after arriving at the jewelry company, which would also affect the currently airing TV series.

That's why she took the initiative to ask to accompany them.

When she first got into the car, Wen Yunwei was still basking in her joy.

It was only after the vehicle had traveled a certain distance that I realized this again.

She looked at the man beside her again, listening to his reflections on his failed marriage.

After responding, she paused for a long time before speaking again.

Actually, there's something I forgot to tell you.

"what's up?"

"The current designer at this company is... Lin Wanran."

There was a pause in her speech as Wen Yunwei stared intently at the other person, trying to discern his true reaction upon learning the news.

However, the shock that Wen Yunwei had anticipated did not occur; instead, Liu Changcun remained remarkably calm.

It was as if Lin Wanran were a complete stranger.

She simply responded indifferently.

"So this is the company she switched to at the beginning of the year."

"You...don't have any other ideas?"

"What else can we think? If she's there, then she's there. A company doesn't have to have only one designer."

Liu Changcun replied helplessly, as if amused by Wen Yunwei's question.

Upon hearing the answer, she remained silent for a few seconds before tentatively asking.

"Maybe I shouldn't go... I've already earned quite a bit from working on the film set."

"Go, why not?"

Liu Changcun felt that Wen Yunwei, who had said those words, must be seriously ill.

He responded immediately, and then quickly added something else.

"Don't go against money, no matter what. You may have made money on set this month, but what about next month? What about after the show is finished filming?"

"..."

"Your daughter will be in her final year of junior high next semester, and soon she'll be in her first year of senior high. After the transition period in her second year, she'll be in her final year. Won't you need money for books and tutoring then?"

"But...you're both divorced, won't it be awkward to see each other again?"

"If anyone should feel awkward, it's her. I don't want to talk to her at all."

"OK then……"

Looking at Liu Changcun, who had said those words, Wen Yunwei looked him over but couldn't find any sign that he was lying.

It seems the junior really doesn't care about Lin Wanran at all anymore.

Realizing this, Wen Yunwei felt increasingly uncomfortable.

After all, in her past impression, every smile and frown of Lin Wanran could deeply touch the junior's heart. Although she already knew that the other party did not care about these things after the divorce, she was still shocked when she saw it with her own eyes.

The vehicle continued driving, and Wen Yunwei's gaze shifted from her junior.

Looking out the car window, I watched the streets rushing by.

Looking at my reflection in the car window mirror...
