AWB Chapter 217 The Digital Family
Chapter 217 The Digital Family
"Sister Xingyu, is it really a good idea for us to leave Sister Qingzhu at the clinic? What if something really happens between them?" Qiao Sanli asked worriedly.
Chang Xingyu, however, was completely relaxed. "There's absolutely no chance for the two of them to have a future. Even if something happens, it's nothing. It'll be a good opportunity for both of us to take a break."
Qiao Sanli nodded subconsciously, but then realized something was wrong. "But, just because we need to rest for two days, it's... not a good idea to give up our soldier brother?"
"Here's what I'm thinking: if nothing happens, it proves that Jianjun has stopped, which puts our minds at ease! But if he really does make a move, then we'll use that to teach him a lesson!"
Chang Xingyu had always felt that Zhang Jianjun's words were half true and half false; he was somewhat hesitant to believe them, yet also somewhat inclined to trust them. Therefore, he wasn't entirely at ease with Zhang Jianjun, and given how attractive he was, he felt very insecure. Moreover, he had essentially interfered in Qiao Sanli's affair, and his position was questionable. If Yuan Qingzhu succeeded, she could easily use it as an excuse to her advantage!
Qiao Sanli hummed in agreement and said nothing more.
Chang Xingyu then asked, "You should get ready too! The time we agreed on is almost here. If it weren't for all the things that have happened recently, we would have done it a long time ago! I'll tell Aunt Zhao in the next few days that I'm going to be honest about what's going on with me."
After Chang Huageng fell ill, Chang Xingyu became much bolder, and no one could control her anymore. The only one, Aunt Zhao Yelan, was a sentimental person. She would change her mind after saying a few heartfelt words.
Although Zhao Yelan was not supportive, she didn't strongly oppose it either, after all, he wasn't her biological son. Having experienced many ups and downs, and having been exposed to a lot in the dance troupe, Zhao Yelan's ability to accept things was much stronger than Chang Xingyu had imagined.
Chang Xingyun couldn't take it anymore; he stood up and wanted to confront Zhang Jianjun.
"Don't go! Don't go! This is my own choice!"
Chang Xingyun's arm was grabbed by Chang Xingyu. She was annoyed by her sister's lack of self-control and poked Chang Xingyu's head with her finger. "He's just a man. Is it really necessary for you to act like this? He's just a little better looking, a little richer, a little more capable, and a little better at taking care of people..."
Chang Xingyu: "Go on, I haven't heard enough yet!"
Chang Xingyun was so angry that he stopped talking.
The couple quickly received their divorce certificates. The staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau were stunned; how could they be so happy about a divorce?! Just how unwilling were they to be with each other?
"Old Guo, look at that woman, she's even holding a child! They're divorced, and she's laughing like a baby!"
"It's none of your business! You're always worrying about nothing!"
"What do you mean! How could I..."
Chang Xingyu and Zhang Jianjun were unaware that two people had gotten into a fight because of them; they had already returned to the villa.
Chang Xingyu showed Qiao Sanli his divorce certificate. "From now on, Jianjun is yours! Don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary! And this child, do you want him? If not, I'll take him!"
Qiao Sanli rolled her eyes at Chang Xingyu, "You've already had a child, and you still love to joke around!"
…………
When Zhang Jianjun went to Wei Shuying's house again, he took a shortcut.
The wall, which had developed a patina over time, was demolished by Wei Shuying and Wu Fenglan and replaced with an arched gate. The craftsmen they hired were quite skilled; the newly built wall was almost indistinguishable from the previous one in color, making it look as if it had always been there. It blended perfectly with the courtyard wall and looked very beautiful. Zhang Jianjun gave it a thumbs up.
Wei Shuying also gave Zhang Jianjun a thumbs up, "Xiaojun, you really dare to think like that! Even if Sanli demeans herself, she can't be so foolish as to be with you!"
"Mom... no, Aunt Wei, Xingyu and I are already divorced. Here is the divorce certificate. Sanli and I can go get the certificate right away!" Zhang Jianjun showed the divorce certificate.
"That won't do! Do you think I don't know what you're up to? I've watched you grow up since you were little!" Wei Shuying felt sorry for her eldest daughter.
“But Sanli is already with me!” Zhang Jianjun started acting like a rogue.
Wei Shuying sighed, "Xiaojun, you and Sanli grew up together and had a very good relationship. It would have been nice to live happily ever after like that, but then Chang Xingyu came along! It's not that I can't let Sanli marry you, but I'm afraid that the three of you will have conflicts. Everyone says that in the old society, people had multiple wives and concubines, but how many families were peaceful and stable? Didn't they all end up in chaos? I'm doing this for your sake."
She even persuaded Qiao Simei for Qiao Sanli's sake!
Zhang Jianjun raised his hand, "Aunt Wei, I promise I won't let Sanli suffer the slightest injustice!"
Wei Shuying didn't believe it. Qiao Sanli had already suffered injustice! The biggest injustice she suffered was following you!
In the end, Wei Shuying relented, and Qiao Sanli was determined, so it was unlikely that she could be stopped by force.
After learning about this, Qiao Yicheng did not go to Zhang Jianjun. He knew where the crux of the matter lay.
The receptionist finally breathed a sigh of relief!
She had long suspected that Qiao Sanli must have an older brother named Qiao Yi something! Sure enough, when Qiao Yi gave his name, the receptionist excitedly picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Sanli manages the company really well! Even the receptionist's service is so good, their smiles are so genuine!"
"Big brother! What brings you here?" Qiao Sanli was very polite to Qiao Yicheng. After all, Qiao Yicheng was arguably her idol. He had been self-reliant since childhood and was much stronger than others, except for Zhang Jianjun.
Qiao Yicheng picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Sanli, tell me honestly, did Zhang Jianjun coerce you? Or did he promise you anything?"
Qiao Sanli shook her head and explained to Qiao Yicheng with a smile, "Brother, you misunderstood. Brother Jun didn't lie to me or threaten me. You know him too; he's not that kind of person."
"There's more than one man in the world, Zhang Jianjun! Aren't you going to reconsider?"
Qiao Sanli looked at Qiao Yicheng and said very seriously, "Big brother, I know what you mean, but I've already thought it through! Brother Jun is worth it. Without Brother Jun, I don't know how I would live in the future."
"Perhaps you can try going out and you might discover a wider world."
"There are very few people who are more outstanding than my military brother, and even then, they might not necessarily treat me well!"
Qiao Yicheng fell silent. Perhaps Qiao Sanli was right, or perhaps there was no right or wrong in the world. But if Qiao Sanli had really thought it through, then he would accept it.
As he reached the door, Qiao Yicheng stopped, turned his head, and left with a sentence: "Sanli, if he has wronged you, come find me. I will fight to the death to make him suffer!"
Qiao Sanli smiled. "Big brother will always be big brother, big brother for life."
Qiao Simei watched Qiao Yicheng's departing figure from the windowsill, then glanced in the direction of Qiao Sanli's office, her eyes flickering inexplicably.
Of all the girls in the building, only Gao Xue, the receptionist, was truly excited. She huddled with the cleaning lady, boasting that she had found the leader of the Digital Family! Soon, everyone in the company knew the name of the Digital Family!
