Chapter 717 Happy Breakup
"Don't worry about that. When I say "clean up", I mean educating you when you go back, not beating or scolding you!" Lin Hao explained with a smile.

When you first come into contact with Wang Xiaomi, it is enough to leave a good impression. There is no need to dwell on it too much.

"Excuse me, uncle!"

Lin Hao looked down at himself, then muttered to himself with some self-doubt:
"Am I that old?"

Uh, Wang Xiaomi looked Lin Hao up and down, and saw that his deep eyes revealed an indescribable confidence and charm.

His smile reveals maturity and wisdom, making people feel that he is a person full of connotation and charm.

Coupled with his strong and well-proportioned figure, Wang Xiaomi was a little dazzled. At this moment, Lin Hao's image was directly rooted in Wang Xiaomi's mind.

Then she looked at her boyfriend Qiu Feng, who looked like a sloppy and second-rate guy, like a little chick, and sighed deeply in her heart.

At this time, the police came in and said to Lin Hao:

"Comrade Mark, you can take your child back, but you have to discipline him. Also, this child smashed a billboard, so you have to pay for it!"

"Thank you, comrade. How much compensation do you want?" Lin Hao asked drunkenly.

"I will notify you after the municipal department has calculated the amount!" The police officer said to Wang Xiaomi and Qiu Feng:

"And both of you should be more careful next time. If the other party doesn't pursue the matter, just pay the medical expenses. If you fight again next time, it won't be so easy to resolve!"

When Wang Xiaomi heard that she could leave, she clasped her hands together happily and said, "Thank you, police officer. I won't do it again next time!"

Then Lin Hao took Ma Li away, and Wang Xiaomi followed Ma Li and whispered:
"Sister, I found that your father looks quite handsome. You are also so beautiful. Do you take after your father or your mother?"

"That's~!" Mary had a proud little expression on her face. When she was about to say something, she suddenly saw someone walking towards her from outside.

Then Ma Li stepped forward and grabbed Lin Hao's arm tightly. The person who came was Ma Li's mother Tian Ye.

"Lily, are you okay?" Tian Ye stretched out his hand to hug his daughter, but was pushed away.

"Don't worry about me!" He said, pulling Lin Hao's hand and walking out: "Dad, let's go home!"

Tian Ye stretched out his arms, not knowing what to do. He looked very embarrassed. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

However, Lin Hao held Ma Li's hand and said seriously:

"Lily, how do you talk to your mother like that!"

"No matter what conflicts you have with your mother, she is your mother after all. You shouldn't treat her in this way, understand?"

"Dad, you~!" Thinking that her father was still in the dark, Ma Li really wanted to tell him about the hug between her mother and Uncle Zhao.

But I felt sorry for my dad, and for a moment I was so anxious that I didn’t know what to say.

"Ugh!" Lin Hao covered his mouth and pretended to vomit. After a pause, he said:
"Okay, stop wasting time and let's go home!"

Tian Ye quickly hailed a taxi, but Ma Li and Lin Hao both refused Tian Ye's help, and then the father and daughter got in the car together.

Tian Ye had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat of the taxi and then go home together.

Zhao Ling, who was not far away, watched the family return home, and his originally happy mood gradually calmed down.
Although Mark and Tian Ye are divorced, looking at the current situation, there might be a possibility that they will remarry.

At this time, Tian Ye, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the taxi, was also thinking about this issue in her mind: should she remarry? After all, divorce was just something she was unwilling to do. But the problem was that she still had two children. How could she feel at ease?

At this time, Lin Hao was sitting in the back seat and said to the driver vaguely:

"Master, do you know what love is?"

"I don't know what love is, I only know how to vomit five hundred dollars in the car!" The taxi driver smelled a strong smell of alcohol and said expressionlessly.

"Isn't it two hundred?" Lin Hao asked in disbelief.

"Prices have gone up, so hasn't the price of love also gone up?" The driver glanced at Lin Hao in the rearview mirror, then at the field next to him, and already had a guess in his mind.

"Yes, the greed of mankind is like a snake swallowing an elephant." Lin Hao closed his eyes and muttered to himself: "The grass is always greener on the other side, and we will never be satisfied!"

"Maybe the cheapest socks will do!" The driver said with a smile as a joke.

Tian Ye on the side lowered his head and remained silent, looking at the night view outside the window, recalling the ordinary days of the past.

Yes, prices have gone up, love has gone up in price, and she doesn’t want to be the stinky sock that can satisfy others.

Finally, she made up her mind that she wanted to move out. She wanted freedom and she wanted to pursue her own life.

Lin Hao didn't say a word. Ma Li looked at her father and sensed that something was wrong with Lin Hao.

······
The next morning, Lin Hao was awakened by a call from a colleague.

"Old Ma, it's already ten o'clock, why haven't you come to school yet?"

I remembered that I was a physical education teacher and had to go to work, so I quickly made up an excuse to get by.

After hanging up the phone, Mark found himself sleeping on the sofa in the bedroom, covered with an air-conditioned quilt.

When he came to the bedroom, he found that the closet was mostly empty. His clothes were covered in dust bags and hung neatly in the closet.

Apparently Tian Ye had made up her mind after returning home last night and packing her things.

I glanced at a note on the table, picked it up and saw that the beautiful handwriting was exactly Tian Ye's.

"Mark, I decided to move out and live on my own. Although we are divorced now, there is really nothing between Zhao Ling and me!"

"It's all a misunderstanding. We've been together for so many years. Please trust my character. Just think of it as the sake of our two children."

"I will go to my mother's place to pick up Manou in a few days. Lily will stay with you first. Take care."

"Heh~!" Looking at the words on the note, Lin Hao sneered: "Self-righteous woman!"

Tian Ye really thought she was a strong woman!
You're overthinking it. It's not that Lin Hao underestimates her. Just like what Lin Hao said last night, greed is the key to success.

Tian Ye’s so-called pursuit of self-realization is to start a new life.

It was just because he worked as a lobby manager in a hotel and came into contact with too many so-called "high-end" people, and gradually he became no longer on the same level as Mark in terms of thinking.

The contrast between our daily life revolving around family necessities and this high-end thinking is stark, creating an illusion.

Influenced by it, I instantly felt aroused and thought that I should also live out my own life and have my own career, life and passion.

So I divorced Mark, wanted to start my own business, and wanted to have a brilliant love.

But the question is, what capital does Tian Ye have to start a business? What can he use to pursue freedom?

The beauty salon was funded by Zhao Ling, the big house they lived in was also Zhao Ling's, and the Cadillac they drove was also purchased with the couple's joint property before marriage, so they only had 200,000 yuan in cash at the time of divorce.

Tian Ye has nothing, so how can she start a business? Starting a business requires not only capital, but also connections and vision. Does she know these?
To put it bluntly, the main reason why Tian Ye divorced was that she didn't want to live an ordinary life without passion anymore, that is, she wanted to make some trouble and became vain.

The most obvious fact is that after opening the beauty salon, it was not profitable, but she had already used luxury goods and lived a petty bourgeois life.

Besides, she not only moved into Zhao Ling's big house openly, but also rented the house to Zhao Ling. Wasn't she being vain and caring about face?

If you really have money to pay the rent, you can rent another house. Why live in Zhao Ling's house?
Of course, human beings are a complex species, and the thoughts of the character Tian Ye are constantly changing in the play, with at least four major transformations, or five stages.

In the first stage, she divorced Mark, got pregnant and got married right after graduating from college. In her own words, she had never lived a day for herself, so she made up her mind to give up all concerns and pursue freedom and independence over the next 16 years.

Just like she said to Manju, mom needs to learn to be independent and strive to be a strong woman. Of course, her best friend Xu Ge also has a great influence on her.

In the second stage, he and Manou were helpless in the rainstorm in the small broken house. Mark did not receive the call, but Zhao Ling did.

This made Tian Ye realize that the gap between reality and ideal is still better with someone to rely on. She was ready to cut off the ties with Mark, and hung up after two sentences on Mark's phone call. If Mark had answered the call at that time and came to save her, they would probably have remarried. This stage is in a period of hesitation and transition.

The third stage, she became the owner of a beauty salon. Tian Ye thought that someone invested in her because they saw her talent, and she became a strong woman again, thinking that she could live a good life with her children without relying on men.

Therefore, she was unwilling to take her relationship with Zhao Ling any further and insisted on maintaining the landlord-landlord relationship. This was because she was afraid that outsiders would think that she relied on Zhao Ling to succeed. In other words, she was being hypocritical.

When she was successful in her career, she gradually began to pursue luxury. However, she did not pursue luxury to enjoy it, but to make herself equal to Zhao Ling in status and to have a romantic love affair with him.

From the conflict between her and Zhao Ling in South Korea, it can be seen that she wants to experience the feeling of girlish love again to make up for the regrets of more than ten years.

In the fourth stage, the beauty salon failed. She knew that the investment came from Zhao Ling, and that Mark was happily remarried and found someone who was younger, more beautiful than her.

After a burst of impotent rage, Tian Ye finally accepted the reality and realized that she was just an ordinary woman, but there was no turning back.

Therefore, she humbled herself and did the beauty treatments herself, was tolerant of others, and left the agate mainly to Mark and grandma to take care of, and became an ordinary female boss.

At this time, she no longer expected a passionate love, she just wanted to get her career on track and be a good mother.

She became more determined not to rely on Zhao Ling, because if she did, outsiders would talk behind her back and Ma Li would not have a good relationship with her. In short, it would be unequal.

Of course, her way of being a good mother was to leave her son in the care of Mark's mother.

In the fifth stage, Zhao Ling went bankrupt and Xiaomi became pregnant. After more than a year of experience, Tian Ye no longer struggled like she did when she first got divorced, and longed to settle down.

Therefore, when Zhao Ling went bankrupt, she saw the possibility of being with Zhao Ling, because their identities were finally equal now, and outsiders and children were no longer a disturbance.

Xiaomi's pregnancy also allowed her to finally let go of her feelings for Mark and start her new life.

But the question is, can she and Zhao Ling really continue to be together if they continue like this?
The so-called love between the two is nothing more than an illusion that what you can't get is always good!
But does Zhao Ling really love Tian Ye?
Maybe I loved him before, but I love him now, but not much. Apart from anything else, the fact that he tried to send Agate to a nursery and had an unclear relationship with the beautiful secretary beside him during his relationship with Tian Ye says it all!
After Zhao Ling's business fails, can he really live a normal life with Tian Ye? Do the two really have the same values?

Zhao Ling is a businessman. Having been a boss for so many years, is he willing to live an ordinary life with Tian Ye?
Does Zhao Ling, who is devoted to his career, have time to spend with Tian Ye? Apart from other things, during their relationship, every time Tian Ye came to Zhao Ling, he was always busy.

Similarly, is Tian Ye willing to live such an ordinary life? If so, why did she divorce in the first place?
Lin Hao shook his head and continued to ride his bike to school. He found this unique experience quite interesting and he also had to adapt to his own identity.

It’s not time to change the plot yet, all you have to do is win.

······
On the other side, Wang Xiaomi was reluctantly dragged by Qiu Feng to a Maozi shop for breakfast.

The two started arguing again about the fight last night.

"Waiter, give me another bowl of porridge!" Qiu Feng said to the waiter, and then drank the porridge in the bowl in one gulp.

Seeing that Wang Xiaomi didn't eat a single bite, he said:

"Why don't you eat? You suffered a lot from the boss last night. Hurry up and eat something to reward yourself!"

"I can't eat!" Wang Xiaomi said weakly.

Looking at the complacent Qiu Feng, Wang Xiaomi had had enough. Qiu Feng was already 25 years old, but he hadn't changed at all and was still so immature.

"We have been chatting together for eight years now!" Wang Xiaomi asked with his eyes fixed on her, "Do you think you have made any progress in these eight years?"

"Yes!" Qiu Feng picked up a bun and ate it, saying with a playful smile:
"We were the same height then, but now I'm much taller than you!"

In order to verify the credibility of his words, he stretched out his hand and showed the length of a finger.

"Ah~!" Wang Xiaomi sighed, and then said helplessly:
"About eight years ago, you were taken to the police station for fighting. At that time, I thought it was very exciting and fun!"

"Do you still feel so now?" Wang Xiaomi asked again.

"It's interesting to revisit the old place!" Qiu Feng did not realize the seriousness of the problem and still said with a grin.

Wang Xiaomi saw this and said angrily:
"No, you always say I don't think before I speak, but you do. You think like a pig, don't you? Do you believe it? My mother will chop you off!"

At this time, Qiu Feng had already noticed that something seemed wrong with Wang Xiaomi, so he said in a slightly more serious manner:
"No, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Is your mother urging you to get married?" He approached Wang Xiaomi and said excitedly:
"Get married, whoever doesn't will be the grandson!"

However, Wang Xiaomi looked at Qiu Feng with disappointment and said in an impatient tone:
"I don't want to get married. I don't want my child to be born with such an unreliable father!"

Qiu Feng thought Wang Xiaomi was looking for trouble just like before, so he swallowed the bun in his mouth and said nonchalantly:
"Even if I'm not in tune, it's not scary. What's scary is that I'm not in tune and I don't know how to change!"

Then he said with a grin, "Look, I'm working hard to change it!"

"Then are you working hard in the right place?" Wang Xiaomi then said bluntly:
"Money, you haven't earned a penny, and you always ask your parents for it. But you seem to enjoy fighting!"

"We were lucky last night because I pulled you along and we ran fast. What if we're not so lucky next time?"

Seeing that Qiu Feng still didn't care, Wang Xiaomi directly asked a soul-searching question:
"What if my head is cut open, my stomach bursts, and I end up in the hospital with my intestines hanging out there? What should I do?"

"Are you responsible? What will I do then? What about your parents?"

"Is this problem so serious? What does it mean to be responsible? How can I be irresponsible?"

Then Qiu Feng threw his chopsticks down and said impatiently:
"Wang Xiaomi, let me tell you, we have been together for eight years. During these eight years, I have rejected so many girls for you. I didn't even leave my phone number because I was afraid that you would do something weird!"

"Also, my parents didn't agree with us being together in the first place. They arranged blind dates for me every day and brought girls home, but I never even looked at them. Aren't I doing this all for you?"

"I'm still irresponsible for this? God knows!" Qiu Feng's expression looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"I don't want to argue with you!" Wang Xiaomi was extremely disappointed at this time, and then said calmly:

"I can tell. We are talking about two completely different things. You are talking about the past, and I am talking about the future!"

"Isn't it just about taking responsibility?" Qiu Feng said proudly, "I will take a big responsibility for you today!"

"Let's go home now and steal the household registration books separately. We'll meet at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. If you don't go, don't say I'm irresponsible!"

"No, how did the chat turn out like this!" Wang Xiaomi was speechless. She was already fed up with Qiu Feng's ramblings, and then she said bluntly:
"I think we should all calm down!"

"There are still so many problems between us, and your parents just don't agree, right?"

Wang Xiaomi picked up her clothes, stood up and said:
"Okay then, let's not delay each other anymore, that's it!"

"What do you mean? Don't you want to marry me?" Qiu Feng was also angry. He grabbed Wang Xiaomi's hand and said nonchalantly:
"Tell me the truth, are you not ready to marry me?"

Wang Xiaomi shook off Qiu Feng and said impatiently, "It's good to know, why do you have to say it so clearly?"

"You have to be clear, do you have someone outside?" Qiu Feng asked angrily.

"Are you done yet? I'm with you every day, so how can I have time to look for someone else?" Wang Xiaomi said angrily.

Hearing this, Qiu Feng took Wang Xiaomi's hand and said with a grin again, "Okay, let's eat first!"

However, Wang Xiaomi's patience had run out at this time. She shook off Qiu Feng's hand and said angrily:
"I think it's boring to keep making such a fuss every day. You haven't made any progress at all~!"

Qiu Feng's face changed when he heard this. Before Wang Xiaomi could finish her words, he became annoyed and thought that Wang Xiaomi was making trouble again. He interrupted Wang Xiaomi and said angrily:
"You haven't finished playing yet, you're still excited, right? You want to break up again, right? I gave you face, right?"

"I've been coaxing you for a long time, but you're still not satisfied, right?"

Then Qiu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Well, divide it up. Whoever doesn't share it is a grandson!"

"Okay, I'll just see whose grandson is!" Wang Xiaomi turned and left, and the two parted ways.

However, in Qiu Feng's opinion, Wang Xiaomi was just being naughty and she would be fine after a couple of days of coaxing.

However, for Wang Xiaomi, she was really fed up with Qiu Feng's eccentricity and childishness.

She just wanted a stable home and didn't want to live such a muddled life with Qiu Feng.
