no longer ordinary friends

It's not that Zhou Zhicheng didn't eat out of anger. For her, work is more important.

She poured Lin Tao a cup of tea.

Lin Tao took a sip of tea, and suddenly said in a daze, "Chengcheng, how did I become like this?"

"You haven't changed, it's Chen Fei who has changed." Zhou Zhicheng looked at her and said softly, "Do you still remember junior high school, when we chased stars together, saved money for a long time, and secretly went to the city to buy records, When we came back, we used MP3 to listen to songs together on the bus, and at that time, we said that we would marry someone who was single-minded and only ourselves, as written in the song.”

Lin Tao recalled the long memories, her expression was in a daze, her eyes were red and swollen, and she forced a smile: "Yeah, little girl, we read a lot of romance novels together at that time, and said that we would marry a man as perfect as in the novels Well, but reality is reality after all, how can there be so many perfect men."

"You don't need a perfect man, at least you can't be a scumbag."

Lin Tao's eyelashes trembled: "But, if you get divorced, others will gossip and no one will want me anymore. Also, I haven't been pregnant for so many years, but the woman outside Chen Fei is pregnant..."

"You get together less and leave more. It's strange to be pregnant. You don't get divorced now. Gossipers are just gossiping about you and Fade Chen. We live our own lives. When we meet a scum like Fade Chen, we may not get married." It’s a good thing, and divorce isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

Lin Tao smiled wryly: "Chengcheng, I'm different from you. Your family loves you very much. You have MP3s in elementary school that I didn't have in high school. You study a lot and work as a lawyer, but I have a low education and have been at home for so many years. no job……"

Zhou Zhicheng sighed softly: "Taozi, who said you have no job? You take care of the whole Chen family. In Nanri County, the nanny earns 5000 yuan a month, but the Chen family neither pays you nor respects you. , on the contrary, it made you a mistress, and you can't do it if you don't leave the Chen family now, if you and Fade Chen continue to live together openly in the name of husband and wife, his wife who received the certificate can sue you and Fade Chen for bigamy."

Lin Tao's eyes widened, and she lost her voice: "Why? He and I were the ones who got married first. We've been married for so many years, and I've been with him for so many years. I didn't even ask for the bride price..."

"Arrogance is a common problem of most men. If you don't want a bride price, he won't be grateful for it. He will even dislike you for being cheap. No matter how complacent he is, Fade Chen will make money by marrying you. He is chic outside. There is a free nanny at home to take care of his parents." Zhou Zhicheng was telling the truth, but the truth is always ugly, "He will find another woman to marry outside, and someone will give birth to him."

Lin Tao's face was as pale as wallpaper when she heard this, and she stared blankly at Zhou Zhicheng, as if she had known her again, she pursed her lips twice: "Chengcheng, why do you think so, marriage is two people who love..."

"Of course two people who love each other will enter into a marriage because of love. It is indeed beautiful, but I have represented many divorce cases. Unless the man transfers most of his rights and the woman is shrewd and understands the law, generally speaking, it will be a loss in divorce. It's the woman, you will not be the worst woman who came to me for divorce, nor will you be the last such miserable woman."

Lin Tao stared blankly, and was silent for a long time: "Chengcheng, is it because you broke up with Dr. He, you have never felt love, that's why you are so extreme?"

Zhou Zhicheng's tone choked, and her breath was stuffed in her chest. Suddenly, she didn't know what to say. She knew that Lin Tao shouldn't have any malicious intentions. It was because the education and thinking they received were different.

Aunt Cai’s older sister, Cai Lan, is old-fashioned, and her education for girls is basically caring for her husband, teaching her children, doing laundry and cooking, so Lin Tao stopped studying for a long time, and married while she was young. In her opinion, girls study No matter how hard you work, it is better to marry a good man.

Zhou Zhicheng couldn't laugh or cry: "If I'm in love or not, it doesn't affect my views on marriage. Fade Chen has already legally obtained a marriage certificate with someone else, and legally you are an illegal cohabitant."

Lin Tao's eyes were red: "Then what should I do? What have I paid in the past few years?"

"The cohabitation property during your cohabitation period can be settled through negotiation. If the negotiation fails, we will sue the court for the division of the cohabitation property. Fade Chen is at fault. The court will consider the fault relationship and take care of the woman before dividing it specifically."

Lin Tao clenched her fingers tightly and said nothing. After a long time, her eyelashes trembled, and tears rolled down her face. She was very sad: "Why did I become an illegal cohabitant, a mistress, and I obviously held a banquet?" Just getting married, everyone knows that I am Chen Fei's wife..."

Outside the office door, Jiang Xianghuai stood quietly, holding a fried rice bought for Zhou Zhicheng in his hand.

He listened calmly to Zhou Zhicheng's views on marriage, until he heard the word "Doctor He", he subconsciously closed his fingers, as if his heart was tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

Just now at the small fried shop, Ye Bai also said: "Our Lawyer Zhou is very popular. She is good-looking. She has been a famous beauty in our area since she was a child. Although she and I are not in high school, we are also separated by many years. , but, I have heard of her as the school belle in high school."

In fact, Jiang Xianghuai also knew that she was a beautiful junior sister when she was in college, and she was also known as a beautiful intern when she joined the law firm.

It's not that the man didn't show affection to her, but that she only had him in her eyes.

He was surprised at first, because at the beginning, he only regarded her as his younger sister. Later, he didn't know when it changed, but he didn't deserve to have an intimate relationship at all. When she was his younger sister, he would unconditionally He treats her well, but when he becomes a lover with her, no one teaches him how to love, and he always hurts her unintentionally.

In the past few years of separation, he has actually been to Nanri County many, many times.

Every time, he would look at her from a distance and then leave.

Including their same birthday.

He lived alone, but he didn't, because he would stand under the street lamp on the road in Meimei's canteen, look at the brightly lit yard of Zhou's family from a distance, listen to the birthday wishes Zhou's family sent Chengcheng, and wait. After they threw away the noisy lotus birthday lantern, he actually went to pick it up and brought it back to Beicheng, only daring to wish silently in his heart: "Happy birthday, Chengcheng."

He didn't dare to go in, so he hoped that she would still find him like the girl who ran to him on a winter night many years ago, and asked him with dark eyes: "Jiang Xianghuai, why are you here?"

Jiang Xianghuai came back to his senses, glanced at the fried rice in his hand, and sighed silently. If Zhou Bingcheng knew that he and Zhou Zhicheng were in love and broke her heart again, the two of them might not even be friends.

Zhou Bingcheng has no time to take care of his brother's affairs at all. He finished his flight yesterday and landed in Beicheng. Today he is on vacation. He took several showers in the hotel by himself, waiting for Mr. Jiang to get off work.

But Jiang Li didn't come late until 11 o'clock in the evening. As soon as he entered the door, he was picked up by the man and thrown on the bed.

The two have maintained such an unclear relationship for many years.

When you are free, just say: "Appointment?" Then the address and room number of the hotel.

However, that's not how the story started.

It was Jiang Li who took the initiative first, but it was also she who refused to disclose the relationship between the two.

His sister said that Jiang Li had a good temper. Every time he heard this, he wanted to sneer.

When he was emotional, he leaned on her and asked her in a hoarse voice, "Why don't you want to marry me?"

She would just say indifferently: "Zhou Bingcheng, I want to go higher."

That is, she disliked his conditions, so angry that he bit her collarbone bitterly: "Jiang Li, how much money do you need?"

She was obviously still panting, but her tone was cold: "Many, if you want to get married, we will separate."

"I don't." He kissed her, his voice muffled.

"Are you cheap?" Her mind was in chaos.

He didn't answer anymore, he hugged her from behind, buried his head in the crook of her neck, pinched her, and moved fiercely, once and again.
