Chapter 247 The 7-year itch
Until now, Wang Manning can still remember the day when she found out her father was cheating on her. She felt so cold and desperate that she fell into an icy cave.
Despair comes from the fact that one of the supports in one’s heart has collapsed, and that corner has been dark ever since.
Xiao Yu lifted Wang Manning's long hair and gently tucked it behind her ears.
"Manning, I once heard someone say that life is like a train heading to the grave. There will be many stops along the way, and it's hard for someone to accompany you from beginning to end."
"Your father accompanied me for a long journey. Later, he wanted to go somewhere else, so he got off at the stop. But I still have a lot of journey to go, so I should enjoy it."
"The people have already got off the train. Even if you smash the carriage and sit in the garbage and cry until you go blind, it will not help. You will also miss out on enjoying the scenery of the journey."
Wang Manning slowly raised her head, crossed her legs and sat up straight.
"Mom, I understand. Those who are left behind don't need to look back. We just need to look forward, look at the present, and look at the future."
Xiao Yu smiled and stroked Wang Manning's hair with relief.
This daughter has always been the smartest.
"Yes, there are actually many beautiful sights along the way. Maybe you will suddenly see the light at the end of the tunnel."
"Manning, learn to let go and don't be hard on yourself. The most important thing you should cherish in this life is yourself."
Wang Manning nodded: "Yes, Mom, I will always remember what you said. Those who love themselves will always be loved by others."
She put her worries aside and asked about other topics.
"Mom, you took those photos. Are you going to settle the score with Niu Fangshu?"
Xiao Yu shook his head:
"Manning, if I deal with Niu Fangshu first, she will be easily let go by your father in a pitiful manner."
"So I have to let your father take action first. After she has been punished by your father, it will be my turn to take action."
"How can I let you off easily if you dare to do something to my daughter?"
Xiao Yu stood up, took the half bottle of red wine left over from dinner from the small table next to him, and poured it into two glasses. He also opened the jerky he had just bought today.
"Come on, Manning, don't let those bad people and bad things take up too much of your time and energy."
"Let's have a late-night snack and some drinks to celebrate your escape from that wrong person and the beginning of a new life."
......
The next day after flying back to Haicheng, Xiao Yu asked Wang Liheng to meet in a cafe.
Wang Liheng looked at the photo in his hand and his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Li Heng, I don't want to say anything hurtful. But you know my temper. If it weren't for the fact that you are Manning's father, you know exactly what would have happened to Niu Fangshu."
"I have treated you with dignity over the years. But do you know how much damage you have done to Manning?"
"I just found out now that Manning chose Wang Man because she felt that Wang Man was a person of orthodox thought and high moral character, and would not have a problem like yours."
"Our outstanding daughter puts security first when choosing a marriage. How sad. Her insecurity is all caused by you."
Wang Liheng felt heartbroken when he thought of what Wang Manning said on the phone.
"...Dad, thank you for bringing so much hardship to my life and making me work hard through all the hardships..."
For more than 20 years, my daughter has never had a major conflict with him or said harsh words to him. These words were probably her way of venting after she had been holding back for many years and could no longer bear it.
When his daughter was just born, he was absolutely confident that he would be a good father and would protect his daughter from all the hardships.
As a result, all the hardships his daughter has gone through over the years were caused by him as a father.
"Xiao Yu, I'm sorry...Min Jingyi, I had already started to arrange for her to drop out of Beijing Normal University, but I didn't expect it was still too late."
Xiao Yu looked at the man in front of him. He was over fifty years old but still tall and handsome. His demeanor as a superior made him a standout among the crowd even when he was sitting quietly.
Such people have always been the main targets of many young girls.
Wang Liheng persisted for many years, but was finally dragged down by Niu Fangshu.
A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth.
"Haha, is it Min Jingyi's problem? Why did Niu Fangshu want to bring Min Jingyi to Beijing Normal University? Do you really not know?"
"Li Heng, your daughter has lost her child and her marriage because of this. Do you really want to deal with it? If you don't want to, tell me and I won't make it difficult for you. I will do it myself."
After saying that, she stood up, picked up her bag and looked down at Wang Liheng.
"I'll leave the photos to you. Li Heng, if you can't control Niu Fangshu, just let Manning go. Manning doesn't owe you anything, and you shouldn't let her pay for your absurdity with her life."
Xiao Yu turned and left the cafe.
Wang Liheng picked up the photo on the table, looked at it again in a self-motivated manner, thought for a long time, and then got up and left.
......
Late at night, Niu Fangshu finished washing up and came in smelling of perfume. She approached Wang Liheng seductively, her voice as soft as water.
"Honey, why don't you look happy tonight? Are you tired? Can I massage your shoulders for you?"
Wang Liheng looked at her coldly and threw the photo in his hand to her.
"Look at what your daughter has done, Niu Fangshu. It turns out that you brought Min Jingyi to Beijing Normal University just for this."
Niu Fangshu flipped through the pages with trembling hands, her face turned pale, and she fell to her knees beside the bed, hugging Wang Liheng's legs and began to cry.
"Hubby, no, you have to believe me. I know how important Manning is to you. How dare you have such an idea? It's impossible."
Wang Liheng raised his leg and kicked her to the ground.
"Then how do you plan to deal with Min Jingyi's situation? Think about it carefully and give me a satisfactory result. Don't answer me before you have thought it through."
After saying that, he took the newspaper and went to the chair by the window to read.
After a while, Niu Fangshu came over tremblingly.
"Hubby, I'll take her back to my mom's house in Anzhen and not let her go back to Haicheng, okay?"
Wang Liheng sneered.
"Where she goes is none of my business. What kind of punishment is this? Niu Fangshu, do you think you are the smartest person in the world?"
"Here, this is a divorce agreement. Just sign it if you find no problem. I have a notarization of our pre-marital property, and we don't have any property disputes. I'll give you Bo Rui and I'll pay for child support."
It was Xiao Yu who reminded him to notarize the pre-marital property that year, and he didn't expect it would actually come in handy.
Niu Fangshu's legs went limp again and she fell beside Wang Liheng and began to cry.
"Liheng, I don't want a divorce. We can't get a divorce."
Wang Liheng pushed her away with disgust on his face.
"What kind of behavior is this? You kneel down at every turn, cry and howl. It's really vulgar. It's useless. You have done this much. There is no room for negotiation."
"Husband..." Niu Fangshu started crying again, but was stopped by Wang Liheng's shout.
"Keep your voice down and don't disturb the neighbors in the middle of the night. Xiao Rui is still next door. I'll give you two days to think about it. If you still can't reach a consensus by then, I'll file for divorce."
After saying that, he went to the study room carrying the quilt.
Niu Fangshu sat on the ground, feeling terrified and desperate, as if the sky was about to fall.
It really is the seven-year itch.
It's only been two years since I started itching, but I can't stand it anymore.
How much effort did I put into planning this...
