Chapter 797 - 714: Why Do I Feel So Uneasy Inside?

In this world, the most unreliable thing is love.

It’s too ethereal, yet people are too fickle.

However, he really had no right to comment on this. His previous marriage was also a mess, not any better than Yao Shi’s.

Yao Shi opened a can of beer for himself, took a swig, looking very carefree: "Old Zhao, this time it’s different. Let me give you an example."

"It’s like someone with poor eyesight eating cockroaches as if they were vegetables for twenty years. One day, they suddenly realize they’ve been eating cockroaches all along. Do you think they could convince themselves to keep eating it just because they’ve developed feelings for it over twenty years?"

"Now Su Jing disgusts me more than the cockroaches, so if you’re a friend, don’t try to persuade me. It’s useless."

Who the hell is this disgusting, really?!

Zhao Meng just picked up a piece of spicy chicken feet, about to put it into his mouth.

But that metaphor killed his appetite, and he threw the chopsticks down, unable to eat at all.

From Yao Shi’s perspective, what he hopes for the most is to divorce smoothly and part ways with Su Jing peacefully.

After all, living together for so many years, to say there wasn’t any feeling between them at all would be deceiving oneself.

If Su Jing could cherish their bond a little and cooperatively finalize the divorce procedures, once his anger subsided, they might even become acquaintances who nod in passing.

So, when he finished contacting his lawyer, arranged everything properly, and returned home on purpose, he found not only did Su Jing not intend to move out, but she had also called their relatives to fight him for the family property, which instantly made him laugh in anger.

Damn it!

Bitch is just pretentious!

Given face yet don’t know how to appreciate it!

Really don’t know if Su Jing ever truly understood him after being together for so long.

Is she really going to covet this little family property?

Does he look like someone who would be afraid of her?

What a joke!

"I’ve already told the lawyer everything. I’ll stay at your place for a few days. When I get my apartment back, I’ll sell it and buy a new one."

After Yao Shi finished speaking, he took a sip of beer, savoring the slightly bitter taste, while pondering if he could get the apartment back smoothly. Anyway, it was going to be sold eventually. If Su Jing was willing to pay, he wouldn’t mind letting her have it.

Zhao Meng frowned: "She’s clearly ready to fight you for the money. Can you just give up the apartment?"

"If not, then a lawsuit it is. She’s the one in the wrong; dreaming about splitting the assets equally is just wishful thinking!"

Yao Shi thought, in this world, things could always get worse, without a bottom line, just more disgusting.

But no matter how Su Jing tried to stir things up, this time, Yao Shi was determined not to be kind or soft-hearted at all.

Although Yao Shi seemed easy-going and agreeable, when it came to certain matters, he was as stubborn as a mule.

Especially with the mistake Su Jing made this time, which was the most unforgivable and despised by Yao Shi.

He took another big swig from the beer can, while telling himself that lying low and waiting would not be in vain, and tomorrow would be a good start.

Life is like this, even if the surroundings are filled with the allure of a broad highway, once you’ve chosen a path, you must stick to it until you find it landslides; yet still stubbornly refuse to turn back, even trying to find one’s sense of existence in a pile of ruins—now that’s plain stupid, living stupidly.

...

"Sis? Why are you back so early today?"

Liu Yuqing greeted her at the door in surprise, reaching out to take Liu Yunong’s bag.

"I didn’t go to the store, I went to a music restaurant with someone today."

Liu Yuqing was instantly amazed: "Why did you go there?"

"I had some things to take care of."

Liu Yunong changed her shoes, not rushing to the living room but instead turning to look at Liu Yuqing.

She had raised her sister well, beautiful, with a great body, nice personality, and very well-behaved.

Truly a good girl, one in a hundred!

"Let’s invite Fu Yu out tomorrow and have a meal together!"

Liu Yuqing was stunned by her sister’s words, surprised: "Sis?!"

Liu Yunong nodded: "Tomorrow evening then, I happen to have time too. Are you on early shift today? Find someone to swap shifts tomorrow."

Liu Yuqing was momentarily taken aback: "Sis, why do you suddenly want to have dinner with Fu Yu?"

Liu Yunong reached out to hold her sister’s right hand, giving it a squeeze: "Can’t keep pretending not to know, right? There’s really no need for us to hide this relationship anymore."

"Sis..." Liu Yuqing was curious; her sister never had this idea before.

Liu Yunong hesitated to speak before seriously asking: "Tell me, Xiaoqing, do you really like Fu Yu a lot, just want to be with him?"

"Sis!... Why are you suddenly asking me this?" Liu Yuqing’s face flushed, shyly avoiding her sister’s gaze, but the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.

Liu Yunong thought her precious sister was just thin-skinned and uncomplicated, unable to hide anything; what she was thinking always showed on her face.

Seeing this, she really seemed to like Fu Yu a lot.

After all, if she didn’t, Liu Yuqing wouldn’t have agreed to date Fu Yu. With her conditions, she could have found a boyfriend long ago if she wanted to.

Liu Yunong amusingly pinched her sister’s face: "Alright, nothing to be shy about with us. Be serious now; tomorrow, when you see Fu Yu, tell him to come out for a meal, and directly tell him about our relationship."

Liu Yuqing nodded bashfully, her cheeks being pinched and squished into various shapes by her sister.

While Liu Yunong went to change clothes, Liu Yuqing quickly sent a message to Fu Yu.

[My family invites you for dinner tomorrow evening. I’ll let you know the location once it’s decided!]

Fu Yu, busy in the kitchen cooking, only saw Liu Yuqing’s message an hour later.

He incredulously read it twice before confirming that Liu Yunong wanted to formally invite him to dinner as Liu Yuqing’s sister.

After confirming the content of the message, the first thought that flashed through Fu Yu’s mind was: An ugly daughter-in-law, oops! An ugly brother-in-law is about to meet the sister-in-law!

For a moment, his feelings were extremely complicated, from nervousness to excitement, and then to a blank mind.

Clearly a momentary thing, yet for Fu Yu, it felt longer than time spent in a teaching practice class!

It was so long that he started worrying whether he should call her Master when meeting Liu Yunong tomorrow night or just call her Sister!

So long that he wondered if he should go out now to get some fresh air and calm down.

So long that he even began to consider whether the new apartment he bought was a bit too small, just in case Liu Yunong wants to visit, would he have to prepare a guest room?

Why did he feel a bit anxious in his heart...

Thinking of himself as normally decisive, yet Fu Yu, holding the phone as if it were a hot potato, hesitated for quite a while, unable to type a single word in reply.

For a moment, he didn’t even know what to reply!

After hesitating a bit, he finally sent back a nervous emoji.

Liu Yuqing started smiling foolishly immediately after receiving Fu Yu’s reply.

Even though Fu Yu wasn’t in front of her, she could imagine what he must be going through emotionally.

The mere thought of the usually composed and measured Fu Yu being flustered made Liu Yuqing chuckle; her heart felt as sweet as honey.

Liu Yunong, having changed her clothes, came out of the bedroom to see her sister leaning against the wall, laughing heartily, pure joy etched on her face.

Liu Yunong couldn’t help but sigh.

No wonder it’s often said that a grown-up daughter can’t be kept home...

Just as the thought arose, she saw Liu Yuqing laughing endlessly, without care for her image, looking adorably silly.

If she shows her true self in front of Fu Yu, wouldn’t she risk being returned or exchanged?

Just thinking about it felt a bit unsettling!
