At fifty, she remarried into a wealthy family; her ex-husband knelt down and begged for reconciliati

The two squatted for a while. Xu Hemei wiped away her tears, stood up unsteadily, and said, "I want to be alone. Mom, you should go back first."

After saying that, she dragged her heavy steps into the bedroom and closed the door.

Seeing her in this state, He Qiaoyun was afraid that she would do something rash, so she didn't dare to leave at all. Instead, she stayed outside and tidied up the mess in the entryway.

After anxiously waiting in the living room for two hours, she couldn't sit still any longer, so she got up and knocked on the door, only to be met with complete silence.

"Xiaomei, the weather's pretty nice today. How about we go out for a walk and grab something to eat?"

It remained deathly silent.

He Qiaoyun stared at the doorknob, hesitated for a moment, still feeling uneasy, and finally opened the door.

When I entered the room, I saw my daughter curled up on the bed, lifeless, and my tears soaked most of the pillow.

He Qiaoyun tiptoed over, sat on the edge of the bed, and tidied her messy hair. "Don't cry. It's not worth crying for a man like that."

Xu Hemei ignored her, pulled the blanket over her face, and turned to the other side. "I won't do anything stupid, just let me have some peace and quiet."

Hearing this, He Qiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, saying, "Then you should rest first. It's getting late. I'll go buy some groceries and make you dinner when I get back."

"I don't want to eat, don't call me."

Helpless, He Qiaoyun left the room, picked up her keys, and went out.

When I returned from grocery shopping, I received a WeChat message from Feng Jiashu: [Still not back in the city?]

He Qiaoyun then remembered the box of fruit in the van and quickly replied: [We've arrived. We arrived this afternoon, but there are some things I need to take care of right now, so I can't go back yet.]

Feng Jiashu: [What's wrong? Do you need my help?]

"Don't wash your dirty linen in public," she replied, adding that it's not a shameful thing for her son-in-law to have an affair. "It's nothing serious. I just haven't seen my daughter in a long time, so I'm staying with her for a few days."

Feng Jiashu: [Okay.]

After replying to the message, He Qiaoyun went into the kitchen and quickly cooked a few dishes that her daughter liked.

After I finished cooking, I was about to call her when I saw her come out of the room, dressed neatly.

He Qiaoyun looked her over. "Are you... going out?"

Xu Hemei nodded hesitantly, "Yes, I'm on duty at the hospital tonight."

He Qiaoyun forced a smile, "Why don't you ask your director for leave and rest for a few days?"

"No need." She picked up her rice bowl and ate as if chewing wax, looking lifeless, which made He Qiaoyun very worried.

"Try this braised shrimp and the yam and pork rib soup, they taste very fresh."

"Ah."

Xu Hemei looked like she had no appetite, but she still ate all the food and then wiped her mouth.

"What time do you stay on duty?" He Qiaoyun asked.

"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock."

He Qiaoyun glanced at the clock on the wall. "This will take all night. If you really can't take it, ask the director for leave and come back to rest. If you want to come back, call me and I'll come pick you up."

"Ah."

“I’ll take you there; it’s not safe for you to drive right now,” He Qiaoyun said again.

Xu Hemei remained silent for a long time before saying, "The car isn't with me. I can just take a taxi myself."

Since she came back, Duan Fei has been driving the car again.

He Qiaoyun sighed silently in her heart, "That's fine too."

Xu Hemei went out, while He Qiaoyun ate her meal alone.

After finishing my meal, I realized that since my daughter wasn't there, it wouldn't be fun for me to stay in their house alone.

Besides, the house was bought with money from Duan Fei's family. It has three bedrooms and a living room. The master bedroom is for the young couple, the second bedroom is for Wu Man, and the remaining small room is their children's room, which is currently being used as their study. So, they didn't leave a room for her, a member of her family...

After she finished tidying up the table, she went out the door.

I'd rather go back and live in my own 80-square-meter lake-view villa suite, which costs 2,000 yuan a month.

She went to the underground parking lot with her car keys and ran into Duan Fei driving back. The car slowly stopped, and he got out. The handprints on both sides of his face were very obvious. His right cheek was swollen and covered with medicine. He looked very disheveled.

Upon seeing He Qiaoyun, he seemed somewhat evasive and uncomfortable, and took the initiative to explain, "I came back to get some clothes, and I won't be back for a while, so don't worry."

He Qiaoyun didn't care. Instead, she reached out her hand to him and said, "Give me the car keys. This car is a car I bought for Xiaomei."

She recalled that her daughter had initially said she wanted to buy a light pink car, but after thinking about it all night, she ended up buying a bulky, dark-colored one, saying that she suddenly liked big, sturdy cars that were both durable and easy to clean.

It wasn't that she liked it; she just felt forced to compromise because she knew Duan Fei would need the car in the future.

Duan Fei looked at He Qiaoyun, hesitating as he held the car keys.

He Qiaoyun casually lifted her eyelids, her eyes warning: "Duan Fei, the car keys."

Duan Fei handed over the car keys.

It's just a new energy vehicle costing a little over 100,000 yuan. What's so great about it? You can buy one with just a down payment... He muttered to himself.

He Qiaoyun put the car keys into her bag and asked, "If we get divorced, how do you plan to divide the property?"

Duan Fei was clearly reluctant to talk about this.

His parents paid the down payment for the house before the marriage, and he and Xu Hemei had only been married for a year. Neither of them earned much. His salary went entirely to the mortgage, and Xu Hemei paid half of her salary for living expenses for the past six months, spending the rest recklessly. So how could they possibly have any assets to divide?

Could it be that she still wants a share of his pre-marital house? Or this car that can't even be sold for 100,000 yuan secondhand?

Seeing that he didn't respond, He Qiaoyun said again, "I was talking about the renovation. Xiao Mei's dowry was all used for the renovation."

Duan Fei's eyes darted away for a moment. "The renovation is all done. How are we going to divide it? Are we going to pry off the walls and tiles and give you a piece and me a piece?"

He Qiaoyun laughed and said rather bluntly, "Duan Fei, have you wasted your time studying? Or do you think I'm stupid?"

Duan Fei didn't mince words, "I have no money."

After saying that, he casually turned and walked away.

He Qiaoyun watched his retreating figure, furious. "Like mother, like son."

She drove away angrily.

When she returned to the villa, it was already 8:30. When Butler Xu saw her car parked outside, she quickly came out to greet her, "Sister Qiaoyun, you're back."

He Qiaoyun got out of the car and opened the trunk. "Well, I brought you some grapes."

Butler Xu hurriedly went up to move the boxes, saying, "I can do it."

"Okay, slow down, it's quite heavy."

Butler Xu smiled and said, "It's not heavy."

As soon as she entered, Tian Tian seemed to catch a whiff of her presence and rushed over to greet her, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her.

When Wang Ma saw her, she said with a smile, "Sister Qiaoyun, you're back. It's been more than a week since I last saw you. I've missed you so much."

Hearing the commotion, Feng Jiashu, who was in the living room, hurriedly put on her slippers and ran out. When she saw the person she had been longing for, a faint smile appeared in her eyes. "Didn't you say you were going to stay with your daughter for a few days?"

Although he asked that question, he was secretly overjoyed.

He Qiaoyun smiled faintly, "I was originally going to stay here, but she went to the hospital for the night shift. It was no fun for me to stay in an empty house by myself, so I suddenly remembered that I hadn't brought the grapes over to you yet. I figured it was still early, so I came back."

Feng Jiashu laughed, "It's good to come back and stay here, it's good to come back and stay here."
