Chapter 110

Tang's mother and Li Songyun are busy in the kitchen, and Xie Ruhang, in order to impress Tang's mother, actively tries to help out.

"No, Xie you're a guest, just sit in the living room, the kitchen is our omega's business ......" Tang's mother tries to push Xie Ruhang, who is holding an apron, out of the room.

At that moment, a white-gloved hand neatly snatched away the pink apron.

Tang's mother: "?"

Xie Ruhang: "?"

Jiao Jian put on her apron, "Let me help."

Li Songyun rolled up his sleeves and said with a slight surprise, "You learned to cook?"

He remembers that Jiao Jian learns everything very quickly, except for cooking, which he teaches her, but she still makes it very unpalatable.

"The bachelor definitely needs to learn more." Jiao Jian says taking off her gloves and standing at the sink to wash her hands carefully.

If it were the old days, Li Songyun would not hesitate to call on Jiao Jian, except that they haven't seen each other for so many years now, and Jiao Jian is still helping out in the Tang family's kitchen. ......

"Xiao Jian, you and Xiao Xie should both go out." Li Songyun's tone was gentle, "You guys are guests, there's no reason to keep guests busy."

The movement of washing his hands lurched, the water still rushing over those calloused hands, "Brother has taken care of me so much, I want to do something to help brother now too."

Jiao Jian hung his head low, his tall back showing a few points of despondency for no reason, "Cooking is not my strong point, but I can definitely contribute a few points to the matter of you moving, brother."

"Brother, can I help you when you move?"

Li Songyun inexplicably felt that if he didn't say yes again, it seemed like a bit of a bully, "If it's not too much trouble for you, of course."

Jiao Jian's lips curled up slightly as he turned around, his smile had the bearing of a mature man mixed with a hint of indolence, "Guarantee to complete the moving task!"

Tang's mother watched Jiao Jian and Li Songyun's interaction thoughtfully, and when he and Li Songyun were the only ones left in the kitchen, Tang's mother whispered, "You and this Major Jiao used to know each other?"

"My family used to sponsor him to go to school, and I took care of him as a younger brother for two or three years before." Li Songyun asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Do you know who the npc he plays in the game is?" Tang's mother lowered her voice, "Lu En, the npc who's been unrequitedly in love with an omega for years."

"I've heard that the experiences of game NPCs are basically adapted from reality."

"Do you think the omega he's been crushing on for so many years is you?"

Li Songyun laughed a little, "What are you thinking? I'm seven years older than him."

"What's wrong with being seven years older, O Da San, hugging gold bricks, you guys can hug two and a half gold bricks!" Tang's mother wanted to tease Li Songyun a little more, but when she saw Li Songyun making the cake in a serious manner, she really didn't seem to care.

*

They ate at a round table, and Tang Bai happily ate several of the delicious desserts Li Songyun had made.

"Songyun, didn't you say you were considering becoming a teacher? I contacted Director Huang of the Etiquette Academy for you, and he said that he would welcome you to become an etiquette teacher at the school." Tang's mother said.

Li Songyun smiled but shook his head, "What I want to do is not to be a teacher at the Liturgy Academy, some time ago I was involved in the construction of that Hope Primary School in the slums, which has already been built, and I want to go there to be a teacher."

"It's a slum, will it be unsafe for you, an omega, to go there every day?" Tang's mother worried.

"I can take care of the transportation." Jiao Jian suddenly spoke up.

The crowd's eyes fell on Jiao Jian, and everyone looked different, especially Tang's mother, whose spirit of gossip burned brightly.

Li Songyun politely declined, "No, it's too much trouble."

"No trouble. The security of the slums needs to be rectified by the Ministry of the Army, the First Star Corps will send people to the slums to maintain order after a while, and I was about to make a report to the organization to apply for a post transfer." Jiao Jian said without blinking.

Grandpa Tang took a sip of hot tea without moving.

Let the military department to send people to the slums to maintain order this matter is he heard Xie Ruhang some suggestions, just mentioned to the military department, at that time Jiao Jian this kid is also beside, but did not show any want to transfer to the slums of the idea.

"Even so, it's inconvenient for you to pick me up and drop me off every day." Li Songyun shook his head trying to refuse again.

"Brother, aren't you going to buy a new house?" Jiao Jian said, "I've been stationed at the border before, I haven't bought a house here yet, why don't I buy a house in the same neighborhood as you, so that it's convenient to take care of each other, and it's been a long time since I've had a meal cooked by you, brother."

Li Songyun hesitated, "This ......" No matter what, Jiao Jian is an alpha, and if he is picked up and dropped off by Jiao Jian every day after the divorce, the rumors from the outside world will not be good for both of them.

"If Mr. Li wants to teach at Hope Primary School, the school will arrange for a school bus." Bai Zhi relieved Li Songyun.

"That's great." Li Songyun laughed.

Jiao Jian : "......" Can't stop laughing.

"I was going to recommend Uncle Li that you go live, just like I opened a live studio live cooking food, Uncle Li you cook so well, body management and etiquette is also particularly good, there are a lot of content that can be live." Tang Bai beautifully ate another bite of cake, like a contented little hamster, he had just casually said, did not expect Li Songyun suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Live streaming ......" Li Songyun would never have considered a career like anchoring before, and the idea that omega isn't suited for this kind of head-tossing ran through the first half of his life.

But this concept changed when he saw Tang Bai's live broadcast, he liked to watch Tang Bai's live broadcast, in his most wretched and most want to shake the moment, he drew strength and warmth from Tang Bai's live broadcast.

So is he able to pass on such positive energy through this as well?

Tang Bai slowed down his chewing as he stared round-eyed at Li Songyun, the two of them staring at each other, both reading the other's meaning.

"If you want to do live broadcasting, Uncle Li, I'm good at it!" Tang Bai proudly patted his small chest, "I'll take you flying!"

*

"Uncle Li, your StarNet account has ten thousand followers eh." Tang Bai looked at Li Songyun's StarNet account and found that Li Songyun had previously posted a video of an adenoid imitation makeup relay, and the vast majority of this account's fans followed Li Songyun because of her identity as Mrs. Gu.

There were also private messages from fans asking Li Songyun what criteria he has for his daughter-in-law and how he can marry into the Gu family.

"Everyone is quite interested in things like marrying a rich family, so if you, Uncle Lai, come up with a headline like tips on marrying a rich family, you can definitely trick a large wave of people into coming in." Tang Bai selflessly imparted his experience of title party.

Li Songyun said with some hesitation, "After I divorced Gu Mian, I have nothing to do with the Gu family, it's not good to use the Gu family as a gimmick."

"Uncle Lai ...... Don't you think you're losing too much money this way? You were planning to net out your family for custody, and now for the sake of the Gu family's reputation, you'd rather let go of the huge traffic and not use it." Tang Bai's heart aches for Li Songyun when he thinks about it, he doesn't know Gu Mian but I'm sure he's pretty much the same simpleton as Gu Tunan before him.

Twenty-six years with such a Bean, four children, and finally choosing to net himself for custody.

Doesn't that sound grand?

But that's just what it sounds like, ah, not actually half as good.

If Li Songyun is going to go live, he will face all kinds of gossip, and there will definitely be people who will say that Li Songyun is an abandoned husband of a rich family and other comments, and put the fault of the divorce on Li Songyun's head.

This society is not at all friendly to divorced omega's, not to mention that Li Songyun has fathered four children, and the only good thing about these rumors is that they bring huge attention, and if it were Tang Bai's word, he'd be cursing himself for being a Bean if he didn't milk Bean's exploits dry.

But he's him, Li Songyun is Li Songyun, they're different after all.

Life has turned Li Songyun into a clay Bodhisattva, who is still compassionate even when he can't protect himself.

"Dingdong~" the message beep of the optical brain sounded, Tang Bai glanced at it, it was a video communication from Gu Peifeng.

Gu Peifeng first called out to Tang Bai, then asked carefully, "Little Dad, are you coming home today?"

Li Songyun softly said, "Little dad won't be home today, have you eaten? Did you finish your homework?"

"I ate, but father didn't, Auntie Wang said father was waiting for Little Father to come home for dinner." Gu Peifeng said blearily, "Little father, I'm very good now, I've done all my homework, can you come home earlier, little father, and we'll eat together."

After hearing about Gu Mian and coming home, the smile on Li Songyun's face faded, "Xiao Feng good boy, I'm going to divorce your father, from now on he and I won't be a family, so naturally we won't sit down to dinner together."

Gu Peifeng had no idea how he was going to cry it out, when he heard his little dad say that, the tears came out in a flash and he blurted out, "Don't get a divorce! Little dad you guys don't want a divorce, okay?!"

Li Songyun knew that someone other than Li's mother must have told Gu Peifeng something else, or else the boy wouldn't have been scared like this.

"Xiao Feng, I won't not want you, after the divorce, Gu Mian and I are not family, but you are still Gu Mian's child ......" Li Songyun patiently consoled, however Gu Peifeng on the light screen cried until he hiccupped, he huffed, "I don't want to live with just my little dad."

Li Songyun froze, "Xiao Feng, you don't want to live with me?"

"I want to live with you guys, if you want to divorce Little Dad, then I will live with my father." Gu Peifeng said this sentence and regretted it when he saw the look in his little father's eyes, he didn't know what to do, he could only continue to cry, "Little father, you don't want a divorce ......"

Tang Bai held his breath as he looked at Li Songyun's pale and calm face at the moment, the bawling on the other side of the communication was noisy and capricious, but Li Songyun's eyes looked as if they were crying silently.

"Gu Peifeng, you're in elementary school now, right?" Tang Bai said to the child who kept crying on the other end of the light screen, "You're not a child who doesn't understand anything anymore, so my brother wants to say a few words to you, and my brother thinks you should be able to understand."

Gu Peifeng looked at Tang Bai with tears in his eyes.

"My brother knows that you're afraid of losing this beautiful family you have now, but you have to realize that when there's no more feelings between your little dad and your father, then the family will just be an empty shell."

"You want to pursue a fulfilling home, your little dad wants to pursue a better life too, he cries too, he's not indestructible, your words can easily hurt him because he loves you, and your words turn that love in his heart for you into a blade."

"Do you really want to see your little dad in tears and depressed at home every day for you?"

Gu Peifeng shook his head desperately, he cried with a handful of snot and tears, "Don't."

"Your little father and father divorced even if they are divorced they will still love you, you don't have to be afraid that you will be abandoned because they will continue to grow up with you." Tang Bai said softly, "Do you have a tissue? Wipe your own tears and snot, okay?"

Gu Peifeng obediently wiped his own tears and blew his nose.

Tang Bai continues, "Now say to your Little Father, Little Father, I love you."

Gu Peifeng said in a very nasal voice, "I love you, little dad."

Li Songyun looked at Gu Peifeng, he had a thousand thoughts coming to his mind in this moment, in fact he had never considered before that Gu Peifeng would refuse to live with him.

Because this child was brought up by him in a widowed marriage, he gave birth to this child, worrying about this child's food, clothing, housing, education and health, the Gu family does not value beta, he is worried that this child can not get full love in the Gu family, so he wants to fight for the custody of this child.

But when you think about it, it was really him who took it upon himself to make the decision for this child.

If this child decides to live with Gu Mian, he is okay with that.

"I love you too." Li Songyun said softly, "Go get a good night's sleep, you have class tomorrow."

After the video communication, Li Songyun said to Tang Bai, "Sugar, thank you."

Tang Bai reached out and hugged Li Songyun so hard that after a long time his shoulders were wet with tears.

*

Li Songyun stayed at the Tang family's house tonight, after he washed up, a succession of message beeps were sent over, it was a message from Li's mother, "Songyun, it's getting late now, you shouldn't stay at mom's place anymore tonight, review home earlier, Gu Mian is still waiting for you to cook for him."

"Xiao Feng has been crying for his little dad. Divorce can do great damage to a child's psyche. Xiao Feng is only six years old, you can't ruin his life."

"What can't be endured with a little bit of patience? You and Gu Mian just have a little friction, you are so angry, if other alpha would have already do not want you, Gu Mian how good, I went to ask him, Gu Mian said as long as you come back, he can as long as all this did not happen ......"

Li Songyun had ignored all the previous messages from Li's mother, and when he saw the latest one, he suspected that he had blinked.

Gu Mian is going to pretend this never happened?

Li Songyun asked his mother, "Did he say this himself?"

Seeing that Li Songyun finally got back to her, Li's mother hurriedly typed out a long list of words, "It's true! It's not just Gu Mian who says so, even Elder Gu is saying the same thing! Songyun, the Gu family has already given us a step down, so you should hurry and go down, and then you won't even be able to take this step ......."

Li Songyun didn't read the message from Li's mother, he clicked on the chat log with Gu Mian, the last time they chatted was two days ago.

At that time he stood in the examination room and nervously asked Gu Mian if Xiao Nan would be alright.

Gu Mian replied to him that you have asked this question three times.

Li Songyun lowered his eyes and sent a message asking, "Have you signed the divorce papers?"

After a while, Gu Mian replied, "I didn't agree to our divorce."

Li Songyun does not know why Gu Mian disagrees, perhaps because the fact that he initiated the divorce offends Gu Mian's alpha dignity, but he is tired and has little energy left to preserve Gu Mian's dignity.

It took all his strength to shield what was left of his decency now.

Li Songyun : "Gu Mian, I am not asking for your permission, I am informing you that I am going to divorce you."

Li Songyun : "I don't want to make a scene with you, if you don't agree to the divorce, I will go to court, and then I may not have to go out of my home to get custody of Xiao Feng."

After a long time, Gu Mian answered him, "I don't agree that we should divorce."

Seems like a program that only sets fixed answers.

*

Day two.

Li Songyun prepares the materials for prosecution and writes the complaint, and he goes to the court with his identity documents to file a lawsuit.

Gu Mian did not cheat on his wife, nor did he engage in domestic violence, alcoholism, gambling or other vices. The court would only mediate first in this case, and only after the couple had been separated for a year and had failed to fulfill their conjugal duties could it be proved that their relationship was broken.

Li Songyun was busy all morning, and at noon he and Tang's mother looked at apartments together. Tang's mother carefully chose a two-room apartment that suited Li Songyun's needs, and he signed a rental agreement with the landlord right away.

"Songyun, do you not have much money on you? I can lend you some." Tang's mother had originally chosen a large flat for Li Songyun, but it was rejected by Li Songyun on the grounds that it was too expensive.

That large flat set of ten million star coins was expensive for regular people, but for the Gu family it was a drop in the bucket.

Li Songyun, after leaving the Gu family, you can only rent a two-room apartment of 120 square feet?

Meeting her best sister's worried, money-hating gaze, Li Songyun said helplessly, "Youwen, I have a savings on me, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to make money right away, so I have to save as much as I can when it comes to unnecessary expenses."

He looked around his bright new home, "And it's a nice home too, it doesn't need to be big and fancy, it's enough for me to be able to settle down. I like it here."

In the afternoon, Li Songyun contacted the moving company and Jiao Jian, and together they set off for Gu's house.

After knowing what Li Songyun did in the morning, even the military style Jiao Jian smacked his lips for Li Songyun's thunderous behavior.

Li Songyun, on the other hand, felt he could have gone faster.

Faster, faster, as fast as you can, erase all traces he left behind in the Gu family.

The Gu family is in the military compound, and the soldiers standing guard are a little surprised to see Li Songyun with a moving company, but they don't ask questions and choose to let them through.

The hovercar drove through the place where Li Songyun had lived for twenty-six years, where he knew every building, where he had given birth in this military hospital, where he had picked up and dropped off his three children at that military elementary school ......

The military compound was well set up for infrastructure, and at one time he thought he would stay here for the rest of his life, like a canary in a flashy cage.

But he's not a canary.

The hover car finally stopped in front of a four-story villa, there was no one in the Gu family at this time of the day, Gu Mian and Admiral Gu were both at the military department, the four children were either at work or in school, and even Sister-in-law Wang had gone out to buy groceries.

Li Songyun opens the door to the room and makes a list of what should be moved and shows it to the workers.

Many of the things in the Gu family were purchased by him, some of the things bought are only used by him alone, these things stay in the Gu family will only be left unused, maybe Gu Mian will still feel obtrusive when he sees them, it's better to let him move all of them away.

After explaining the general process to the workers, Li Songyun entered the bedroom, where his clothes in the closet definitely had to be moved, and together with the clothing accessories in the checkroom, there were enough to fill up a hovercar.

Li Songyun doesn't have a strong desire to shop, but being Mrs. Gu's wife requires him to appear in various social occasions often, and he can't afford to dress too plainly, let alone wear the same clothes multiple times, so he's bought a lot of clothes over the years.

The new home is not big, there is no space for so many clothes, Li Songyun is only going to take part of the clothes, the other part of the clothes he plans to sell, too expensive jewelry he did not take, ready to stay in the Gu family.

"Did Gu Mian buy all this for you?" Jiao Jian looked at the gorgeous jewelry, he thought about his own savings and fretted about whether he could give Li Songyun a comfortable life in the Gu family.

"Sort of." Li Songyun said while organizing.

"Sort of?" Jiao Jian doesn't understand.

"He pays the money and I pick it myself." Li Songyun replied.

Of all the clothes and accessories, not one was given to him by Gu Mian.

Gu Mian would never give him anything physical, only money, a series of cold numbers that didn't have much reality to them.

Perhaps in the eyes of the efficiency-seeking Gu Mian, picking out a gift takes time, and giving money easily and quickly is more in line with Gu Mian's guidelines.

When Li Songyun was in the middle of his work, he suddenly turned over his and Gu Mian's wedding photo, which had a light layer of gray on it.

Their wedding photos weren't hung in the bedroom because Gu Mian didn't think it would go with the bedroom's décor.

The young gray-blue-eyed alpha in the photo was in military uniform, his profile deep, his features heroic, his eyes with a bit of worldly arrogance that seemed to look idly out of the frame.

The wedding photo shows him holding a pure white bouquet of flowers, close to Gu Mian, with bright warm red eyes and a warm smile.

So he laughed so hard when he married Gu Mian?

Li Songyun couldn't even remember how he felt at the time.

Is it anticipation, nervousness, or shy joy ......

Perhaps the ice of these twenty-six years had been so cold that it had made him forget that he had once harbored a sweet passion for Gu Mian as well.

Li Songyun Removing the framed photo, he takes the scissors and cuts the wedding photo in half.

So when Gu Mian returned home, he saw a suddenly empty house, and the lone, solitary wedding photo of him alone.
