"We haven't met alone since we broke up. Last month, I forgot what day it was, she called me out of the blue, she was in a very low mood, and she started crying after just a few words."

Ma Yaofeng tried hard to recall.

"She complained to me about a lot of things, saying that she regretted leaving me and that she missed me all these years. She said that her husband knew that she had been hiding me in her heart, so he was very cold to her all these years."

"She said that apart from her family, she basically has no friends. It just so happened that the Ouyang family's daughter had a birthday last month and invited her to the birthday party. Her husband refused to accompany her, so she begged me to go with her."

"She begged me with tears and snot, saying that I would just accompany her for a while, show my face, and leave in an hour at most. I softened my heart and agreed."

"But I don't know why, I drank two glasses of wine at Ouyang's house that night, and I felt dizzy, as if I was drunk. Although I don't drink much normally, my alcohol tolerance is not that bad, right?"

"When she saw me like that, she said there was some hangover soup on the second floor and I could take a rest there after drinking it. I went up to the second floor with her and in a room, she said a lot of sweet words to me and asked me if I still missed her."

"I told her that the friendship between us ceased to exist when she decided to leave me and marry that rich man. Now, my wife Xia Xiaojin is the only one in my heart."

"She hugged me and begged me to start over with her. She didn't want any status, just my love. She said she couldn't live without the nourishment of love. After I sternly rejected her, she apologized to me."

"I was leaving, and she said she would drive me home. In the car, she apologized to me very sincerely, saying that she shouldn't have lost her composure just now, it was just because she loved me too much."

Ke Yongxin listened to him in silence. After a while, he asked, "Do you believe what she said? I mean, do you believe that she still misses you and loves you?"

Ma Yaofeng sneered and shook his head, saying, "If I were still a young boy in his twenties, I might have been deceived by her. But how could I believe her nonsense now?"

Ke Yongxin nodded to show that he believed him.

"She threw away love for money, just like throwing away garbage. Now, she just treats me as a pastime to fill her inner loneliness. Don't worry, I will not divorce Xiao Jin." Ma Yaofeng said.

"What if Meng Li or another woman is pregnant with your child?" Ke Yongxin asked again.

"Impossible, I have never touched other women, how could they get pregnant with my child? The doctor said that there is nothing wrong with Xiao Jin and me, I think we will have children one day." Ma Yaofeng replied.

"Yeah. I think it might be because you rejected Meng Li last time and hurt her self-esteem. She wants to take revenge on you and destroy your marriage. What do you think she will do next?"

"Do you think she will find someone to seduce my wife?" Ma Yaofeng asked.

"Yes, that's a possibility. So we can't lose our composure and start to suspect each other. I'll go back and talk to Xiaoyu and ask her to talk to me."

Ma Yaofeng nodded.

"When will sister come back from Rong City?" Ke Yongxin asked.

"Maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. I'll ask her. How about I take Xiaohan back to my father-in-law's house after get off work tomorrow? I can hand her over to her mother in person, so I can talk to Ye Meixia in person."

"Okay, come pick up Xiaoyu after get off work tomorrow. It might be easier for women to communicate with each other. Brother-in-law, what do you think about Xiaohan marrying Meng Hao?"

"Not very good. Meng Hao has been spoiled by his parents since he was a child. The whole family indulges him, and he loses his temper as soon as things don't go his way. I heard that his wife couldn't stand his domestic violence and left the children behind."

"What if Xiaohan insists on getting married and Ye Meixia doesn't object? Will the Meng family accept her?"

"You said that Meng Li's parents didn't even like me, a civil servant who was born in a scholarly family and a native of Shenzhen. How could they possibly like Xiao Han, a foreigner whose parents are divorced and remarried?"

"Well, now that you know the situation, you will know how to tell them tomorrow night. I will not go over tomorrow night and will take care of Duoduo at home. Otherwise, the mother and daughter will say that we are bullying them by relying on our numbers."

After the two men communicated, Ma Yaofeng went home to sleep and did not leave the master bedroom all night.

Xiaohan was lying in the bedroom opposite him, her mind was blank. In the early hours of the morning, she received a message from her second sister:

"Xiao Han, I brought back a lot of delicious food from my grandma's house during the Chinese New Year. Come over after get off work tomorrow and take some back for my dad and mom."

"Okay, second sister, I just want to stay at Lijiang Garden tomorrow night. Can you ask your brother-in-law to put my suitcase at your house during the day so that I don't have to make another trip."

The next night, Ma Yaofeng drove and brought Xiaoyu and Xiaohan to his father-in-law's house.

"Auntie knew you were coming back today, so she prepared a table full of dishes. Why didn't Xiaojin come?" Xia Xinguo asked his son-in-law.

"Dad, my sister is on a business trip. Ke Yongxin is entertaining a friend at home, and Duoduo is sticking to him and refuses to come out with me." Xiaoyu said.

During the meal, Xiaoyu and Ma Yaofeng did not mention Xiaohan. Xiaohan secretly glanced at her brother-in-law several times.

"Xiao Han, aren't you staying at your eldest sister's house tonight?" Ye Meixia asked when she saw her daughter dragging a suitcase.

"Yeah. Xiaochen is leaving in two days. I want to stay with him for a few days and talk." Xiaohan lowered her head, not daring to look up at her mother and brother.

After dinner, Xiaoyu took the initiative to clean up the dishes, but Xiaochen stopped her and said, "Second sister, I'll clean up, you go to the living room and chat with uncle and my mother."

"Well, Xiaochen has grown up after not seeing him for a year." Xiaoyu gave Xiaochen an approving look and then walked out of the kitchen.

"Aunt, my brother-in-law and I came back today for two reasons. First, we want to hand Xiaohan over to you in person. Second, we came to report to you what Xiaohan has been doing recently."

"Second sister, thank you for taking me in during this time. I should talk to my mother about my affairs myself. You guys go back first." Xiao Han said uncomfortably with her eyes lowered.

"I don't want to get involved in your affairs, but since your mother married my father, if you don't live well, it will inevitably affect the lives of both elders." Xiaoyu said.

"How can I not be living a good life? Unless you hope that I will not be living a good life." Xiao Han said.

"Okay, since you said so, let's talk it out tonight. You have been very close to Meng Li recently. Do you want to marry her brother?" Xiaoyu asked.

"So what? You can marry a man as outstanding as my second brother-in-law, so why can't I marry a bar owner who has a house and a car? How am I worse than you?"

Xiao Han looked arrogant, as if she was already the owner of a bar.
