Chapter 17
Bai Qianrou’s eyes lit up, she agreed with a smile, and promised that she would solve it satisfactorily.
“Thanks for your hard work!”
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, and to express his gratitude, he let Bai Qianrou deliver the report and go straight off work.
Bai Qianrou didn’t go to find Shu Wan and went straight back to the dormitory.
She didn’t intend to give the real report to Shu Wan, giving her the opportunity to continue to be with Huo Zhengye.
In Bai Qianrou’s opinion, once this report came out, Shu Wan and Huo Zhengye had to divorce no matter what. Once they divorced and left the compound, no one would know that they had received the wrong report, and she could still get a promotion and a raise.
Kill two birds with one stone, why not do it?
Bai Qianrou felt a little sorry that she couldn’t see with her own eyes Shu Wan’s collapse and despair when she saw the report.
According to Shu Wan’s personality, she would probably make a big fuss. This stupid woman doesn’t know that doing this will not only fail to arouse the man’s sympathy, but will instead drive him further away.
Bai Qianrou’s sweet and sweet fantasy.
On the other side, Shu Wan’s reaction to the test report was much calmer. She just glanced at it, then threw it aside and prepared dinner.
That day, she was busy making things. She first altered the clothes, and then began to knit gloves and scarves… Time was very tight, and she wished she could use every minute in two. She really had no time to pay attention to the report.
So, Shu Wan just took a quick glance at it, and seeing that the diagnosis result only showed the words “difficulty in conception”, she stuffed it into the drawer and got up to cook.
Just as the meal was ready, Huo Zhengye came back.
“It’s time to eat.”
Shu Wan brought the dishes to the table, turned around and bumped into the man’s deep and dark eyes. Shu Wan’s heart suddenly rose.
Did he discover something?
Shu Wan pretended nothing happened and asked casually, “Why, what’s the matter?”
Huo Zhengye’s eyes fell on Shu Wan. “Report to the food factory tomorrow. The monthly salary is 20 yuan, and food and accommodation are provided.”
Shu Wan was stunned. Did he find a job for himself?
Seeing that Shu Wan didn’t respond, Huo Zhengye pursed his lips and continued, “Although the salary is not very high, it is stable and provides dormitories, which is already very good.”
“no……”
Shu Wan came back to her senses and quickly explained, “I appreciate your kindness, but I plan to start my own business.”
Huo Zhengye frowned and looked at Shu Wan suspiciously.
Shu Wan was afraid that Huo Zhengye would misunderstand that she had ulterior motives and deliberately dragged her feet and refused to divorce, so she hurriedly took out the sweater she had sewn in the house.
When Huo Zhengye saw the sweater, his already cold face became even colder.
It seems that Shu Wan really has unrealistic fantasies and intends to delay the divorce by using these tricks.
“This is what I’m going to sell. I’ve been preparing it these past few days.” Shu Wan explained, unfolding the sweater to show him.
Huo Zhengye was silent, and then he noticed that the sweater in Shu Wan’s hand was particularly small, obviously not his size.
There are also strange patterns embroidered on it, which looks quite unique and different from ordinary sweaters.
“However, I still hope that you will seriously consider working in a food factory. Selling things is not that easy. It’s freezing outside. Can you stand standing all day?”
Shu Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Huo Zhengye had no doubts. Fortunately, the original owner had good skills, otherwise the secret would have been exposed.
“I can’t stand the constraints of working. I’d rather have the freedom of running my own business.”
Huo Zhengye looked at Shu Wan. There was something frank and natural in her eyes, and she didn’t seem to be perfunctory or deceiving him.
Her expression revealed a firmness, as if no one could make her change her mind.
Huo Zhengye frowned. Shu Wan like this made him feel unfamiliar.
“Then you do your best.”
Huo Zhengye secretly decided to keep the job and give it to Shu Wan when she gave up.
Shu Wan thought Huo Zhengye would give her a long speech to persuade her, but she didn’t expect him to agree so easily. After being stunned for a while, she came to her senses and promised again and again, “Don’t worry, when the storm is over, I will sign the divorce immediately and will not delay.”
“Do you really want a divorce?” Huo Zhengye’s dark eyes stared at Shu Wan.
Shu Wan became alert and pretended to be reluctant, “I’ve thought it through recently. A marriage without feelings is just torture for both of us. Instead of wasting time, it’s better to let you go free and leave a good impression on each other.”
Does Shu Wan really think so?
Do you still think so after reading that report?
Huo Zhengye asked her: “Have you seen Bai Qianrou during the day?”
Shu Wan nodded, “She came to me and gave me a medical examination report.”
Shu Wan suddenly realized where Huo Zhengye’s strange behavior came from, “It seems that you also know it.”
A hint of coldness flashed in Shu Wan’s eyes. Bai Qianrou had a good plan and deliberately revealed the information to Huo Zhengye.
If the original owner was here, she would probably break down and cry on the spot, pulling at Huo Zhengye’s trouser legs, and refusing to divorce no matter how much she cried and begged or how much she was threatened or bribed.
The original owner’s behavior would only cause disgust and an urgent desire to escape for a man without any emotions.
“Yes.”
Huo Zhengye nodded, his dark eyes fixed on Shu Wan, not missing a single expression.
In his impression, this incident must have been a big blow to Shu Wan, and she might even do something irrational, but he didn’t expect Shu Wan’s expression to be so calm.
Yes, it’s just plain.
The muscles on Shu Wan’s face were so tense that they fluctuated greatly without even mentioning doing business.
“I didn’t plan to tell you, and it has nothing to do with you, and it’s not a big deal.”
Shu Wan’s tone was calm, as natural as the weather during dinner.
In modern times, she did not consider childbirth as a stage of life, and now that she has traveled to the 1980s, it is even more impossible.
Children are a choice in life, not a necessity.
Huo Zhengye felt complicated. He thought Shu Wan would take the opportunity to refuse the divorce and rely on him, but he didn’t expect Shu Wan to say it so frankly.
“What are you going to do next?”
Shu Wan shrugged, looking nonchalant, “Life is still long, the worst that can happen is that I don’t get married, or I can just find a man who doesn’t mind and marry him.”
Unexpectedly, Huo Zhengye is a very upright person. The fact that he asked this question to his face probably meant that he was mentally prepared to rely on him after the paper was broken.
What an upright man! Shu Wan had a better impression of him.
She looked at Huo Zhengye and said seriously, “Don’t worry, I will be single for the rest of my life and I will never rely on you.”
Huo Zhengye: …
Seeing that Shu Wan was serious, it seemed like she really wanted to divorce him.
Huo Zhengye breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if the huge stone pressing on his heart had been lifted, and a complicated feeling arose in his heart again.
“Let’s eat, the food is getting cold.” Shu Wan said quickly.
Huo Zhengye sat in his seat, watching Shu Wan busying around. For the first time, he felt like a guest in someone else’s home.
Especially the polite and distant smile on Shu Wan’s face.
Huo Zhengye shook his head, throwing the strange thoughts out of his head.
After dinner, Huo Zhengye took the initiative to wash the dishes and clean up. As usual, he boiled water and called Shu Wan.
Huo Zhengye came back after taking out the trash. Through the open door, he saw the table and bed full of yarn balls and finished products.
It seems that Shu Wan is serious.
Huo Zhengye was about to leave, but when he turned around he bumped into Shu Wan who had just come out. A refreshing scent of soap mixed with hot air wafted over.
She had a towel wrapped around her head, revealing a slender swan neck, which was a faint pink because she had just taken a shower.
Huo Zhengye looked away in embarrassment, pursing his thin lips, feeling strange that he had no reaction the last time Shu Wan stood naked in front of him.
“Be careful.” After saying this, Huo Zhengye left.
Shu Wan went back to her room and embroidered for a while. When her hair was completely dry, she went to bed.
The next day, after Shu Wan finished her breakfast, she went into the city with a big bag of things.
When he was leaving, he bumped into Shu Fangfang holding her son. He glanced at her, snorted coldly, and turned away.
Xiong Hanmei arrived at the tailor shop early, looking very aggressive, and her strong body made the space crowded.
Xu Xiaoling came forward and said, “Mrs. Xiong, you are here.”
Xiong Hanmei hummed, glanced around the store, and her face immediately darkened.
“Where are the people?”
