Xu Tian placed the fried eggs on the table and then sat down.

"You're overthinking it. I'll definitely tell you if there's anything."

Xu Tian smiled gently.

Actually, when Chu Lan opened his eyes just now, he wanted to tell Zhao Jing about his relationship with her, but seeing such a beautiful scene, he suppressed his selfish desires.

He didn't want anyone or anything to ruin his relationship with Chu Lan.

Even if he has done something wrong, he doesn't want to say it now.

At worst, just like Zhao Jing said, they can treat it as a drunken mistake, forget about it and never mention it again. He can still live happily with Chu Lan.

But the truth is he was overthinking it.

Chu Lan's ability to sit in this position, whether in terms of vision or anything else, demonstrates a level of strength and acceptance far greater than one might imagine.

Moreover, Chu Lan knew Xu Tian's true identity from the beginning and that he would not have only one woman in his life. Even so, she was still willing to wait for Xu Tian, ​​to think of Xu Tian, ​​until she got her wish and was with him.

Therefore, even if he had a relationship with Zhao Jing or someone else, Chu Lan would only be confused for a while, and would never break up with Xu Tian because of it.

It's just that Xu Tian didn't say anything, and she didn't know either, which led to the two of them not being able to reach a consensus.

The two ate breakfast with different thoughts on their minds, until Xu Tian's phone rang.

Upon seeing that it was Zhao Jing, Xu Tian frowned slightly and immediately hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Chu Lan asked, "Aren't you going to answer? She's in a bad mood; we don't want anything to happen to her."

As she spoke, Chu Lan didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Before she got to know Zhao Jing, she thought Zhao Jing was very hardworking and ambitious, but now that she had gotten to know her, she found that she was still a child at heart.

“She never comes to me with anything of substance. Everyone has their troubles, so just ignore her.”

Xu Tian said irritably.

Although it might sound ungrateful, he now wanted to keep a safe distance from Zhao Jing as much as possible.

Chu Lan smiled and said, "It's normal for girls to have a little temper."

"Who has such a bad temper like her!" Xu Tian complained.

Chu Lan smiled but didn't say anything, but a few minutes later, Zhao Jing called her again.

Chu Lan glanced at Xu Tian. "Should I answer?"

"You can answer if you want, or hang up on her if you don't," Xu Tian said nonchalantly.

Chu Lan eventually accepted.

"Idol, is Xu Tian with you?"

"Yes, we're having breakfast."

"This time it's really serious, he's not answering my calls! If it's convenient for you, could you come to my house now?"

Chu Lan could tell that Zhao Jing was very anxious. She nodded seriously, hung up the phone, and asked Xu Tian to go with her.

Although Xu Tian said he didn't want to talk to Zhao Jing, he had heard everything they said on the phone, so he drove Chu Lan to Zhao Jing's house.

Zhao Jing looked worried when she opened the door.

"What happened?"

Chu Lan put down her bag and quickly asked with concern.

Zhao Jing glanced at the two of them, clearly anxious but unsure where to begin.

"If you don't tell us, we're leaving. Chu Lan has to go to work and doesn't have time to mess around with you."

"No, I really have something to do!"

Zhao Jing organized her thoughts and explained the current situation to the two of them.

Zhao's mother is back!

Moreover, he returned overnight and is currently at the Zhao family's house.

"Isn't it a good thing to come back? You've achieved your goal." Xu Tian was puzzled.

Zhao Jing gave a bitter smile, "He's back, but his heart has wandered away!"

"What do you mean?" Xu Tian frowned.

Zhao Jing's eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled, "When my mother went on a trip, she unexpectedly ran into her childhood sweetheart, and the two rekindled their old feelings. Now that she's back, she's making a scene and wants to divorce my father."

“Can you imagine? My dad was sitting in the living room early in the morning, looking haggard and with despair in his eyes. Meanwhile, my mom was packing her bags in her room, muttering something like ‘True love is innocent.’”

"The house was a complete mess, as if it had been through a storm. My dad, who is usually such a proud and chauvinistic man, was now begging my mom not to leave. The sight of that was heartbreaking."

As she spoke, Zhao Jing finally couldn't hold back her tears and they fell. Chu Lan and Xu Tian exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock and sympathy.

After all, Zhao Jing's original intention was just to let her mother go out for a walk and vent her anger, but she never thought of making the two of them divorce.

Moreover, Zhao's mother was in the wrong this time. If Zhao Pengfei really doesn't care about the past, she probably won't have a good ending in Jiangcheng.

Moreover, based on her understanding of Zhao's mother, she was definitely not the kind of woman who would easily change her mind.

Even if it's your childhood sweetheart, so many years have passed and your children are all grown up. How could you possibly be so impulsive as to file for divorce because of love?

"The scariest thing isn't that, it's my grandma!"

When Zhao Yazhi, Zhao Jing's grandmother, was mentioned, Xu Tian and Chu Lan both gasped in surprise.

Her grandmother already looked down on Zhao's mother, and now she could finally vent her anger completely.

"Knowing my aunt as I do, she wouldn't be such an unreliable person, would she?"

With red eyes, Zhao Jing said, "Yes, that's what I think too. We've definitely fallen victim to a pig butchering scam!"

Xu Tian asked in confusion, "You mean, Auntie's childhood sweetheart has something on her mind about your family?"

Zhao Jing nodded heavily, "That must be it. I don't know what tricks they used to bewitch my mother."

“They haven’t been in contact for so many years, and the moment they do get in touch, they’re all threatening to divorce my dad. How is that possible!”

Zhao Jing would rather believe that her mother was deceived than believe that her mother was that kind of person.

Xu Tian answered irrelevantly, "Putting aside whether your aunt is that kind of person, what about your dad? Has he been so clean outside all these years?"

Zhao Jing snorted coldly, "Clean my ass! He's probably slept with countless hostesses at high-end clubs!"

"Then the aunt doesn't know?"

"Of course she knows, but there's nothing she can do. Whenever she makes a fuss, my dad just says it's for business or something, and eventually he just stops caring about it."

Chu Lan began to analyze, "Since both sides are at fault, why is your father still begging your mother not to divorce him?"

She had known Zhao Pengfei for many years, and although their collaboration wasn't very pleasant, Zhao Pengfei was extremely chauvinistic and intolerant of any wrongdoing.

Furthermore, given his complete indifference to Zhao's mother's contributions to the family over the years, now that this has happened, he can only feel deep resentment towards Zhao's mother and demand that she leave the marriage with nothing. There's no way he could save the marriage.

"That's right. I'm afraid to go home and face it. I don't know what's going on," Zhao Jing said worriedly.

Chu Lan glanced at Xu Tian and then said, "How about I go back with you? At least we'll find out what Auntie really means."

Zhao Jing said gratefully, "That's exactly what I meant, but I was afraid that my dad would get angry and hurt others, so I asked Xu Tian to come along."

Xu Tian hesitated, "It's not that I can't go, but I'm afraid this is your family matter. After all, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public..."
