Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 596 - 362: Why Worry About It

"Mom, why are you worrying about nothing?" Tian Xin stopped talking to her, "I never even thought about anything with Junyi... Okay, I’m tired, I’m going to sleep!"

After saying that, she went back to her room.

Mrs. Tian watched her daughter avoid the topic and shook her head, thinking that the girl definitely had something on her mind...

Tian Xin indeed had something on her mind. Ever since she rejected Tang Baijin a few days ago, he hadn’t sought her out again. She was somewhat uneasy. He was really good to her. It was just that she wasn’t ready to start a relationship with such a familiar man...

She thought, maybe it was because she didn’t handle their relationship well at the beginning. When he was nice to her, she had just broken up with Yang Junyi, and her emotions had hit rock bottom. His appearance was like a ray of sunshine, shining into her heart.

But even though she was naive, she still clearly distinguished love from friendship.

She had always thought her relationship with Tang Baijin was just friendship.

Perhaps it was because of that night that she started having confused dreams, sometimes even embarrassingly so...

Shortly after, Tian Xin came out again: "Mom, do you have any boyfriends to introduce to me?"

Mrs. Tian was really startled this time, "Tian Xin, what’s wrong with you?"

"I feel like trying to date, I don’t want to worry you or dad anymore!" Tian Xin said earnestly.

To Mrs. Tian, this was quite a shock. She had always thought Tian Xin and Tang Baijin were dating, and moreover, Tang Baijin was a man Mrs. Tian approved of; he had a good temper, treated Tian Xin well, earned a good income, and was five or six years older than Tian Xin, knowledgeable about the ways of the world.

"Is Baijin not good?" Mrs. Tian was puzzled.

Tian Xin shrugged: "I don’t feel romantic about him! I see him as a bro, Mom, you weren’t thinking of me and him being together, were you...?"

"What do you mean, being bros as a girl, really..." Mrs. Tian glared at her, "What do you mean feeling romantic? All feelings are fleeting and elusive, only life is real. When you need him, he is by your side, no matter what it is, there is someone to discuss it with, life is about living a steady and real day-to-day life! How old are you, do you think you are twenty years old, still pursuing the dreamy kind of love of a young girl?"

Tian Xin was looking at her mother as if she were an alien. When had her mother been poisoned by Tang Baijin’s charm, always lecturing her about arranged dates and marriage?

Even if she went on blind dates with others, it didn’t mean she wouldn’t live a stable life!

"Mom, I think I’m going to sleep first!" Tian Xin said dejectedly and turned to go back to her room.

During the weekend, while Tian Xin was still sleeping in, Mrs. Tian called her to have morning tea, but she refused to go.

Consequently, Mrs. Tian and Mr. Tian went out together, and Tang Baijin had already driven his car to their building, "Tian Xin didn’t come?"

"This child still wants to sleep, she refuses to get up!" said Mrs. Tian, "Never mind her..."

Tang Baijin personally opened the car door: "It’s okay, we’ll take a takeaway back for her later!"

Mr. Tian had nothing against Tang Baijin, since Tang Baijin’s past love life was simple, his career was very successful, and he was a kind man, really hard to fault on any account.

"Baijin, Tian Xin still hasn’t seen the light, what do you think?" Mrs. Tian inquired about Tang Baijin’s intentions.

Tang Baijin drove seriously, "Auntie, I’m serious about Tian Xin, it doesn’t matter if she hasn’t realized yet, I won’t give up."

"That’s good!" Mrs. Tian finally felt relieved.

So, on a morning when their daughter was absent, Tian Xin’s parents had morning tea with Tang Baijin.

When Tang Baijin drove Tian Xin’s parents back, he brought back some of Tian Xin’s favorite snacks, and she was still not awake.

He let her continue to sleep and didn’t disturb her!

The weather had already cleared up, and he was about to go back to his villa on the mountain top soon, needing to quickly make progress. Although he knew Tian Xin didn’t care about material things, he still wanted to give her the most beautiful life possible.

At this moment, Tang Baijin’s heart was still filled with happiness, because life had expectations, everything seemed different.

...

Ji Su still hadn’t returned to the Gu Family Mansion to live, she stayed in her own apartment, focusing on work and taking good care of her health.

Gu Yucheng, that man, could torment her all day long or ignore her for days on end.

Just when she thought she had to get used to such a man, her mother in prison, Zhang Yulian, sent her a message!

The message was delivered by Zhuo Yufeng. Zhang Yulian knew Ji Su knew Zhuo Yufeng, and although they weren’t close, she still wanted to see Ji Su.

"Thank you, Officer Zhuo!" Ji Su looked at him.

Her emotions were naturally mixed, as she really didn’t want to have any interaction with Zhang Yulian anymore, just because that woman gave birth to her, she had to bear the heavy shackles all her life.

What good would her visit to Zhang Yulian do? The police gathered evidence, the judge made the verdict, and Zhang Yulian had to bear the responsibilities she ought to.

After work, Ji Su still ended up calling Gu Yucheng.

"President Gu is still in a meeting!" the secretary answered the phone, "May I know who is calling?"

Ji Su simply replied: "It’s nothing then..."

"Young Madam..." the secretary still addressed her with the same title, "President Gu has been busy all day. If it’s something urgent, I can take it to the meeting room..."

"It’s not urgent." Ji Su hadn’t expected anyone to still call her that; it had been a long time since she last held the title of Young Madam.

Ji Su knew he was busy, and she also didn’t understand why she suddenly called him; hadn’t she decided to be independent?

Hadn’t she told herself to learn to handle things on her own?

Ji Su took a taxi to the detention center.

A few days without seeing Zhang Yulian, she had aged a lot, with many white hairs suddenly appearing on her head, and there were also some scars on her face.

"Susu..." Zhang Yulian called out.

Before coming, Ji Su had told herself to stand firm, she would not be moved by Zhang Yulian.

However, upon seeing the scars on the aging face, she found herself at a loss for words!

"Susu, you finally came..." Zhang Yulian exclaimed excitedly, "I’ve been longing for you to come, my dear daughter, will you help me get out of here, please?"

Ji Su stood silently without speaking.

Zhang Yulian looked at her: "Look at me, beaten up like this, I am after all the mother who gave birth to you and raised you, Susu, can you please pity me? Yucheng is now a powerful figure in City A, his influence is immense, I believe he can indeed do something..."

At that moment, Ji Su was glad that Gu Yucheng hadn’t come. She still remained silent.

"Susu, say something!" Zhang Yulian grew anxious, "I only have you as a daughter, and you only have me as your mother, can you really bear to see me harmed like this here?"

Then Ji Su coldly said, "You need not hope for Yucheng to do anything, nor can I do much. What I came here to tell you is to serve your sentence in peace! Yang Junyi’s mother is innocent, you harmed an innocent person, and you should pay the price."

"How can you be so cold-hearted?" Zhang Yulian said sorrowfully, "Susu, can you please beg Yucheng? He will still listen to you... consider the hardships of carrying you for ten months, could you?"

In a lifetime, how many people can truly be free from familial emotional attachments?

In a lifetime, how many can genuinely remain indifferent in front of their closest blood relatives?

Ji Su was just an ordinary person; she was greatly conflicted, wishing on one hand that her mother would pay for her past wrongs, and on the other hand, hoping that no one would bully her if she decided to reform.

When Zhang Yulian desperately pleaded, Ji Su knew she shouldn’t be moved, yet she couldn’t help but shed tears.

At that moment, a pair of large hands were placed on Ji Su’s shoulders.

Turning her head back, it was indeed Gu Yucheng.

Her delicate face sported a surprised look, her eyes moistened with dewy mist under her long eyelashes.

After the meeting, when the secretary told Gu Yucheng that Ji Su had called, he was quite surprised that she would call; he thought that if he didn’t reach out to her, she would never call him again.

When he arrived, he saw Zhang Yulian using the same tricks to press her, and she forever couldn’t learn what it meant to be heartless.

"Yucheng, you’re here..." When Zhang Yulian saw Gu Yucheng, her eyes immediately lit up as if Gu Yucheng was her only savior.

Gu Yucheng wrapped an arm around Ji Su’s shoulders and then turned to Zhang Yulian, "Don’t expect me to save you! Now, I’ll tell you clearly, it was me who informed Zhuo Yufeng to arrest you at the gambling hall that day! How could you think I would come to save you?"

"What?" Zhang Yulian looked at him incredulously, perhaps she always believed that since he loved her daughter Ji Su, Gu Yucheng would be at her beck and call.

But this statement, Gu Yucheng admitting personally that it was he who sent Zhang Yulian to jail, was something Zhang Yulian clearly could not accept.

Ji Su was also shocked; Gu Yucheng indeed was a ruthless person capable of doing such things.

She never sympathized with Zhang Yulian, only because of the bond of bloodshed, she was always controlled by her.

"It can’t be, Yucheng..." Zhang Yulian tried to convince herself and Gu Yucheng, "You love Susu, you wouldn’t do this..."

Then, Zhang Yulian turned towards Ji Su: "Susu, do you love him? This man is cruel enough, he could even send your own mother to prison, and you are just a toy in his hands, you need to think this over, Susu, I’m your only relative, you can’t just abandon me, Susu..."

Unable to secure Gu Yucheng’s help, Zhang Yulian then tried to sow discord between their feelings.
