Chapter 72 Fear, another day of fear of marriage
Nan Li has always been cold and proud.
Like a high mountain flower.
No matter what happens, she will deal with it calmly and in an orderly manner.
Although she is not a top beauty, with the blessing of being a professional executive and a talented woman, it is like a halo surrounding her, allowing her to always show an elegant and dignified side.
She is also accustomed to looking at the people and things around her with a bird's eye view, especially Tian Yulan, with whom she has always disdained comparison.
That kind of pride made her feel that this comparison was a derogation of herself.
But today, her pride was completely shattered.
In just two short months, compared with Tian Yulan, she was completely at a disadvantage.
The child's grades were not as good as hers, and her position as a senior executive was in vain. Even her appearance was outweighed by her beauty.
Tian Yulan now always looks radiant and charming, as if she is filled with love and happiness.
But I have been tied up by these trivial matters in recent days, and my originally smooth and delicate skin has become worse.
This huge gap between before and after made her mentally unbalanced.
"Let's leave this matter as it is. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together tomorrow."
Faced with Nan Li's aggressive words again, although Xia Junshan was full of grievances and unwillingness, he He could only remain helplessly silent.
Zhao Na's back injury has long since recovered, Xia Huanhuan also has Lin Yuan's guidance on her homework, and Xia Junshan no longer needs to worry about her homework.
Xia Junshan has not been idle these days. He has been submitting his resume to some companies one after another.
He still has certain pursuits for his new job.
Either they are applying for well-known large companies in the industry, or they are applying for positions with very generous salaries. The competition is unimaginably fierce.
Companies in the design field like this have strict recruitment procedures, of which background training is an indispensable part.
When Xia Junshan resigned, he had an unpleasant quarrel with his leader.
With just one phone call, the recruitment company learned that Xia Junshan had been in jail because of impulsive beatings.
Because of this, he has not received an offer yet.
Now the entire family relies on Nan Li for all their expenses.
Almost all of his money was used to buy a house in the school district, and it was almost not enough even for daily expenses.
When a man loses his financial source, he really has no confidence at all in front of women.
After experiencing this big quarrel, the already fragile relationship between the two completely fell to the freezing point.
They had more than one gap due to various previous problems.
When a person is dissatisfied with another person and wants to find the shortcomings of that person, he can find no less than a hundred.
The next morning, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together.
Although in the TV series, their divorce was accidentally discovered by Nan Jianlong and Zhao Na, the old couple who had always gone their separate ways reached a united front and prevented Nan Li from wanting to divorce.
As for how Nan Jianlong was discovered?
Nan Jianlong wanted to go to his daughter's office on a whim.
As a result, Nan Li was not there, but he met Lulu, Nan Li's assistant when he was the acting marketing director.
Lulu told Nan Jianlong that Nan Li had gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau next door to handle matters.
Let's not put aside whether Nan Li would really talk to his former assistant about going to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Nan Li is a married woman, what can she do if she goes to the Civil Affairs Bureau?
The screenwriter simply borrowed the assistant’s words and said: Your daughter went to the Civil Affairs Bureau next door to get divorced.
There are not so many coincidences in the real world.
The reason why Nan Jianlong and Zhao Na suddenly appeared was entirely because of Xia Junshan's tip.
Xia Junshan doesn't want a divorce.
Although what Nan Li said was like inserting a knife into him and adding salt to his wound, he still had feelings for Nan Li and he couldn't let go.
More importantly, he knew that if he got divorced this time, he would really have nothing.
While the couple were waiting in line to be called, Xia Junshan anxiously watched the hands on the watch beat one by one.
Finally, after his long wait, Nan Jianlong's figure appeared at the door.
Until this moment, Xia Junshan's heart, which had been hanging on, seemed to have found support, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
Nan Jianlong hurriedly came to the two of them. Before he could stand firm, Xia Junshan said impatiently: "Dad, you are finally here. Please persuade Lili."
Nan Jianlong snatched the number plate from Nan Li’s hand and said sadly:
"No matter what, you can't do such stupid things. You two are also parents of two children. Is marriage a child's play?"
"What else can we do without divorce?" Nan Li sighed: " I can’t just watch Chaochao being managed casually. Since I gave birth to him, I have to take good care of him.”
Nan Jianlong persuaded: "Even if you are really being coordinated, you can't resort to divorce."
Xia Junshan interjected and echoed: "Yes, Dad, I said the same."
Nan Li shook her head, her tone full of determination: "Don't worry about this matter. Parents have to do their best for their children."
Nan Jianlong He said anxiously: "Yes, yes, we must consider our children. We as a family can work together and find a way."
Nan Li sneered and took the number plate back from Nan Jianlong's hand: "I don't dare to trouble you any more. With our complicated family relationship, every time I get some benefit from you, I have to spit it out twice as much."
Every time he wanted to rely on Nan Jianlong, he would always be targeted by Tian Yulan and Cai Juying, as if his biological daughter was an outsider.
Regarding the house purchase this time, just because Nan Jianlong gave him 600,000 yuan through Zhao Na, Tian Yulan was so mad that he entangled other terminals to jointly complain against him, making the position of marketing director that was easily available became a fantasy.
Maybe it was not all Tian Yulan’s fault, but her complaint gave the headquarters an excellent reason to replace her.
Nan Li felt uncomfortable thinking of this.
Then again, if Nan Li knew in advance that more than half of the money came from Nan Jianlong, she would definitely not accept it easily.
At least he will write an IOU to Nan Jianlong.
She didn’t want to owe Nan Jianlong anything.
Seeing Nan Li's firm tone, Nan Jianlong slammed the table, pointed at the number plate in Nan Li's hand, and roared: "Give it to me! As long as I am here today, you will divorce this marriage. Believe it or not!”
Nan Li was not frightened by Nan Jianlong’s rage, but remained silent. Sitting there, he shook his head lightly: "Dad, you are thinking about me now. Why didn't you think of me when you divorced two months before my college entrance examination?"
"You just said After saying that marriage is not a child’s play, don’t you find it ironic at all?”
"However, you and I are still different. You divorced for yourself, and I divorced for the sake of my children."
If it weren't for the impact of her parents' divorce, Nanli would have passed the national examination with her excellence and hard work. There are still good opportunities at the top universities.
When Nan Jianlong heard what his daughter said, he was stunned, his body shook slightly, his fingers began to tremble uncontrollably, and he said with a grimace: "Dad knew that we were divorced I hurt you, so I don’t want you to make the same mistake now." Seeing this, Xia Junshan quickly stepped forward to support Nan Jianlong and carefully let him sit down on the chair next to him.
He whispered to Nan Li: "Li Li, don't talk to Dad like that."
The quarrel between the few people was so loud that Zhao Na, who was walking towards them not far away, heard everything.
When she heard her daughter fighting Nan Jianlong so hard, she felt very satisfied.
Over the years, my daughter has often gone to Nan Jianlong's house for dinner. Although she doesn't say it, she actually cares about it in her heart.
"Li Li is right." Zhao Na praised loudly at first, but then gritted her teeth and said to Nan Li:
"You are in your thirties. You are a mature person, can you be more mature? After all, you are also a senior member of the company, and you must have some connections, right?”
Zhao Na frowned, her tone was full of reproach, and she was very dissatisfied with her daughter's behavior.
“Yes.” Nan Jianlong said from the side.
Only Xia Junshan remained silent. He knew that Nan Li had been demoted. This incident really hit Nan Li hard.
Some time ago, Nan Li was busy almost every day until early in the morning because of the home furnishing store. She didn’t even have time to take care of Zhao Na who was bedridden, but she worked hard day and night, but got such a bad result. Those who can maintain their mentality are gods.
"What kind of executive am I?" Nan Li sneered, her laughter full of self-deprecation, "I have been demoted and now I am just a marketing manager."
Zhao Na and Nan Jianlong looked at Xia Junshan with their eyes full of questioning.
Xia Junshan nodded silently.
"Huh?" "Why were you demoted?"
"I also want to know why? That Tian Yulan was sitting at the same table with me eating with a smile just a second ago , stabbed me in the back the next second."
Nan Li's voice was full of anger and resentment, and she was shaking with anger when she thought of what Tian Yulan had done.
When Nan Jianlong heard that there was something about his stepdaughter, he subconsciously wanted to clear up the relationship for Tian Yulan. After all, in his heart, what he wanted to see most was that his daughter could live in harmony with his stepdaughter.
He frowned, hesitated and said, "It's normal for people to go up and down in this workplace sometimes. Could it be a misunderstanding?"
Hearing that Nan Jianlong Showing favoritism, Nan Li immediately raised her lowered head and looked directly at Nan Jianlong: "Are you speaking for her?"
Zhao Na also glared at her.
"No...no." Nan Jianlong waved his hands in a panic, trying to explain, "Let's not hang around here, let's go out and find a place to talk again."
"Yes!" Although Zhao Na still looked angry, she felt that now was not the time to argue with Nan Jianlong, and she had to cut off the matter first.
A trace of determination flashed in Nan Li's eyes: "If you want to talk, go ahead and talk. Xia Junshan and I still have something to do."
Nan Jianlong frowned tightly and sighed heavily. He took a breath: "Why doesn't this make sense?"
"That's right! This marriage is not allowed to be divorced." Zhao Na's tone was very firm.
Nan Li was silent, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Zhao Na gently sat down next to Nan Li and patiently advised: "Li Li, neither marriage nor human nature can withstand the test."
"If you really can't, Test, that means we are not suitable." Nan Li looked at Xia Junshan, "Do you think we can't stand the test?"
Xia Junshan couldn't show his distrust of himself and Nan Li, so he had to nod quickly and said: "We will definitely withstand the test."
"There is no one with so much love in the world as Jin Jian, he and I are Lessons from the past." Zhao Na looked at the two people who had vowed, and she thought of her failed marriage again, and her heart was full of bitterness.
Nan Li shook her head gently: "When the time comes, it will be the same with or without this piece of paper. If there are problems in our relationship because of this fake divorce, it can only mean that our marriage was originally There are flaws.”
Seeing that Zhao Na and Nan Jianlong both seemed to have something to say.
"Even if you persuade me today, we will come again tomorrow." Nan Li was expressionless, and then seemed to realize that her attitude was too tough, and her tone softened a lot, "Wait until the super After Chao goes to elementary school, we will make up for it."
Zhao Na and Nan Jianlong both fell silent.
Not long after, the voice of the radio also sounded in the hall:
"Please go to window No. 2 A0023 to handle the divorce registration business."
Nan Li glanced at the number plate in her hand that symbolized the end of her marriage. A complicated emotion flashed in her eyes. Then she took a deep breath and said to Xia Junshan, "Let's go."
......< br>
Lin Yuan’s home.
Living room.
Tian Yulan turned to look at Lin Yuan behind him: "Nan Li hasn't been here for the past few days, maybe she can't come."
These days, Tian Yulan not only has to pick up Yan Ziyou after get off work, but also has to go to Cai Juying's place, and sometimes has to stagger Zhang Xueer's time.
This actually resulted in fewer opportunities for the two of them to compete.
Lin Yuan chuckled softly: "Nanli's level of chicken baby is just not revealed. In fact, she is crazier than you."
Tian Yulan narrowed her eyes and hummed: "Didn't she always say to hurry up? Are you happy to study? "
"In this society, as long as you have experienced a little beating, you can't say this." Lin Yuan sneered, "But if you have money and background, that's another matter. .”
"Dingling~Dingling~"
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Tian Yulan was panicking to death.
"It can't be Teacher Zhang who is back."
She said and was about to break away from Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan didn't panic at all, he knew it wouldn't be Zhang Xueer.
Zhang Xueer is still at her home.
"Hold on to the table and don't move." He growled.
Two minutes later, Nan Li dialed Lin Yuan's number again.
"Hey, Teacher Zhong, are you at home? I'm at your door."
Nan Li's soft voice came from the phone.
"I'm at home."
"Can you please open the door?" Nan Li asked again.
“Wait.”
After another half minute or so, Lin Yuan opened the door.
Nan Li walked in carrying the package.
I saw Tian Yulan sitting on the sofa neatly dressed.
"Why does the house smell like that?" Nan Li used her hand as a fan and fanned it gently.
