Chapter 599 - 590: Just for Fun
I never expected that, even though I was so careful and had warned Ning Tong, their marriage would still be affected by him.
Indeed, the narrator had long suggested that Ning Tong and Zhang Chao’s marriage wouldn’t last long and would end in divorce sooner or later, but not initially this quickly.
It was because of him that the gap between them widened and eventually broke apart.
Of course, he didn’t feel any guilt; after all, he never actively provoked the two of them. It was their personal character problems, nothing to do with him.
Estimating the time, they should have divorced a few months after Ning Tong gave birth. Of course, if he continued to meddle, the time might even move up again, which is just absurd.
However, he didn’t intend to interfere with these matters, nor could he. After all, now whenever he saw Zhang Chao, he just wanted to slap him. How could he have the mood to care about his marital status? Doesn’t a first marriage turning into a second marriage just mean a headache? Even if he died, it wouldn’t matter to him!
After Su Qing left, Ning Tong sat at the dining table for a long time, staring at a table full of untouched dishes, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
It wasn’t until after talking with Su Qing today that she realized how ridiculous her previous thoughts were.
Why did she assume she could meet with Su He alone for a chat? Was it just because he liked her back in high school?
Why did she think that if she apologized, he would have to accept it?
Why did she feel that the reason Su Qing and Zhang Chao’s relationship turned out this way was because she chose Zhang Chao?
Thinking about her past self, she couldn’t help but find it laughable. She even thought that Su Qing was retaliating against Zhang Chao’s family because of her own choices and trying to prove her wrong.
Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous. His girlfriend is pretty, rich, and has a great figure, and though she didn’t want to admit it, Shen Yi’s appearance was flawless. There’s no comparison needed. They weren’t even on the same level aesthetically, let alone other factors.
Thinking of this, Ning Tong took a deep breath and had no appetite to eat. She picked up her bag, settled the bill, and left.
What she didn’t know was that after she left, Yang Zhiming quietly appeared not far away and then took out his phone:
"Hey, Chao bro, I saw your wife..."
Meanwhile, Su Qing drove back home in high spirits, feeling quite good lately. Maybe it’s the rebound from hitting rock bottom; good things have been happening one after another, making his mood exceptionally bright.
In the afternoon, Su Qing was in the bedroom on a video call with Shen Yi.
"So, how did it go with your first love?" On the other end of the video, Shen Yi pouted, her face full of displeasure.
Hearing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey, clarify your words. What do you mean by first love? We were just classmates, okay? How can a woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you casually slander my innocence?" Su Qing said helplessly.
Women are like this. Clearly, he had already reported to her, yet she would still tease you with words and expect you to coax her.
What? Not coax her, and you’re done for. This matter won’t be let go of anytime soon.
"So what if I have thick eyebrows and big eyes? Now, big-eyed sister is unhappy. I haven’t seen you, yet you’re meeting other women. Anyway, I don’t care. Quickly, say something nice to amuse me."
"Amuse you? That’s my forte, just wait..."
Shen Yi: "Hey, hey, hey, why are you taking off your pants? You’re such a pervert!"
"You’re the one who said you wanted to be amused, weren’t you?"
"I wanted to be amused, not... Forget it, do as you please!"
It must be said, when an older woman meets a young and energetic guy, the sparks flying between them are much more than your average couple.
They’re both adults and not young, who doesn’t know what the other is doing!
A half-hour later, Shen Yi, propping her chin on her hand, her pretty face slightly flushed, asked, "So, your classmate tried to threaten you with a recording?"
Su Qing pulled up his pants and nodded.
"Mainly out of boredom. She didn’t even consider whether she was qualified to handle such matters, naively trying to interfere. Moreover, Zhang Chao’s lackey discovered her. Without a doubt, I think the two of them might end up having a fight tonight."
To this, Shen Yi’s gossip instincts burned fiercely: "Woohoo~~ So exciting! Didn’t you give her a heads-up?"
"I did, but not explicitly. Whatever! After all, the worse my enemies have it, the happier I am, right?" Su Qing said indifferently.
Hearing this, Shen Yi couldn’t help but nod, giggling, "You’re so bad~~ but big sister likes it, mwah~~"
"Don’t try that with me. If you want a kiss, come back sooner and do it in person!"
"Oh dear, big sister wants that too, but I have to wait until after the fifteenth to leave. Okay, little brother, it’s not many days left, just hold on for a bit."
"Hold on? You better worry about yourself!" Su Qing shot her an annoyed glance with a smile.
Just then, his mom, Zhou Hui, called him for dinner, so Su Qing hurriedly said, "Alright, let’s stop here, I’m going to eat!"
"Okay~~ Bye-bye, big sister’s going to change into some lingerie too!" She said while throwing him a wink, giving Su Qing goosebumps.
As expected, the cooler the woman, the weirder she becomes after becoming your girlfriend. He never imagined Shen Yi was like this.
Immediately, the two hung up the phone, and Su Qing went out to eat.
During the meal, he learned that Uncle Li’s family had returned from their hometown several days ago, and his dad had already started going fishing with Uncle Li.
Even though the temperature wasn’t quite welcoming, there’s nothing that could dampen a fishing enthusiast’s passion.
After the incident of catching a body last year, the two old men gradually walked out of the shadow, reasoning that finding a body was last year’s matter and didn’t concern this year.
Of course, Comrade Old Su mainly wanted to show off the fishing rod Shen Yi gave him worth tens of thousands.
Nowadays, people go fishing with two sets of gear, one for use and one for flaunting.
Also, Uncle Li’s family now knows about his successful film investment, and they’ve been praising his achievements. Uncle Li even said he wanted to find a time to drink with him until they both drop.
Li Zijun quickly refused, not wanting to inexplicably gain another father.
That evening, Su Qing received a call from the landlady, saying the photo studio was open and inviting him to take pictures the next day, and to bring along Dahuang.
He happily agreed, as the little girl had been looking forward to it for a long time, and he wanted to fulfill a child’s wish.
Meanwhile, Ning Tong returned home with a weary body after wandering outside all afternoon.
Ever since parting with Su Qing, she was gloomy and eventually sought out a female classmate from high school to chat with all afternoon, which somewhat improved her mood.
When she got home and turned on the living room light, she was startled to see Zhang Chao sitting on the sofa drinking alone, with the table full of empty bottles.
Seeing her husband back, Ning Tong was very happy and excitedly said, "Honey? You’re back, you finally came back, where did you go, I was so worried!"
She said, and ran over joyfully, hugging one of his arms.
But Zhang Chao, the one being hugged, didn’t respond at all, just picked up his drink and gulped it down.
Perhaps sensing something was wrong with him, Ning Tong quickly asked, "Honey? What’s wrong? Did something happen?"
To this, Zhang Chao slowly turned his head, revealing eyes filled with bloodshot veins, and sneered, "Did something happen? What’s it got to do with you? More like, what did you do today? Have nothing you want to tell me?"
"What did I do? I didn’t do anything, honey," Ning Tong felt a bit guilty when she heard this.
She knew that if she told her father-in-law about meeting Su Qing, he might understand, but her husband in his current state definitely wouldn’t listen, so she instinctively chose to hide it, disregarding everything Su Qing had said.
Sure enough, hearing her denial, Zhang Chao’s eyes turned blood-red. To him, his wife secretly meeting an old high school classmate, who liked her back then and was doing better than he was now, seemed nothing short of infidelity.
At this moment, Zhang Chao was full of rage, feeling as if a green shade was looming over his head.
"Didn’t do anything? Haha, how long are you gonna keep lying to me? Look for yourself, is this you, take a look!"
Saying this, Zhang Chao suddenly exploded, grabbing the phone from the table and opening a photo of her meeting Su Qing today.
The angle was a bit distant, but you could still clearly see it was the two of them.
"Honey, listen to me, it’s not what you think!" Ning Tong was panicking now.
"Listen to your shit explanation, what’s there to explain? Ning Tong, what am I to you, needing to face this, huh?" he said, grabbing Ning Tong by the shoulders and shaking her back and forth.
"I was just discussing our family matters with him, nothing else, I even have a recording!" Saying so, Ning Tong went to look for it, but the next second realized she’d left the recorder at the restaurant, intending to throw it away because it was already waterlogged, never expecting this would happen.
"Where’s the recording? Get it out! Hahaha, spill it, when did it start?"
"Honey, I really didn’t, listen to me!"
"Still arguing! I’m already the laughing stock with a green hat because of you, and you want me to listen to you, damn it, and is that bastard in your womb his too, come on, say it!"
"Zhang Chao!!!"
Suddenly, Ning Tong shouted angrily, her eyes reddening instantly with unwillingness, anger, and more so feeling wronged.
She put so much effort into seeking apologies for this family, was it easy? Her husband, a man, wasn’t taking responsibility, she went out and lost her face to apologize, only for it to be reciprocated with suspicion, she felt heartbroken.
"Shouting? Isn’t it true? Don’t think I’m unaware of your regret seeing Su Qing doing well, regret being with me, thinking I’m unworthy of you."
Listening to these cold words, at this moment, Ning Tong’s anger clouded her mind.
"Fine, the child isn’t yours, happy? You, a failure, not thinking of solving problems, just complaining and blaming, what kind of man are you!"
The next second, a loud slap echoed; Ning Tong felt her face burn as she turned her head in disbelief to look at him.
But at this moment Zhang Chao exploded, pointing at her, yelling, "Ning Tong, you’re ruthless! Divorce, take your bastard and get out!"
This time, Ning Tong’s eyes held no anger, only a chilling coldness.
"Fine, I’ll go, do not regret it!"
