Chapter 321: Being Alone is Quite Good

After sending Duan Xifeng downstairs to her mother-in-law's house and driving back to their home on the East Fifth Ring Road, it was only after nine o'clock when they got home after all that tossing.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yang Tao sitting in the study with a big apple, writing and drawing. She was designing a wedding dress.

"I bought breakfast back, eat a little to pad your stomach." Changing his shoes at the door, Wang Yan put the breakfast on the dining table.

Yang Tao, with her long hair tied loosely and wearing a large home dress, revealing two little grapes, got up and walked out slowly, "I don't want to eat, I'll be eating lunch in a while, and then I won't be able to eat much."

"Eat small meals frequently, be obedient. Eat a little." Wang Yan stepped forward, held her shoulders, pushed her to the dining table to sit down, and thoughtfully opened all the breakfast, letting her eat directly.

"Oh, you smell like smoke and alcohol, it's disgusting, go wash up quickly." Yang Tao waved her hands in front of her nose in disgust, driving away the stinky man.

Wang Yan held her face with both hands, opened his mouth wide and exhaled in front of her, making Yang Tao scream in annoyance, and she swung her fists in anger.

"If you can't eat it, I'll eat the rest, I'm going to take a shower."

The successful Wang Yan laughed and ran into the bedroom bathroom.

Looking at Wang Yan who had disappeared, Yang Tao gave a light hum, shook her big white legs, and ate breakfast one bite at a time.

After a while, Wang Yan, who had finished washing up and changed his clothes, walked out and sat opposite Yang Tao, eating the leftovers she pushed over in big mouthfuls.

"How much did you drink yesterday?"

"Don't know, anyway, drank a lot." Wang Yan shook his head and laughed, "You don't know, when I woke up this morning, that guy, that Hu Qixing was lying on the ground, Guoran was lying on the ground and sleeping on a stool for a night, brother-in-law was like this, oh, that guy drank..." While speaking, Wang Yan imitated the situation yesterday, making Yang Tao giggle.

Yang Tao asked with a smile, "Then they were like that, what about you? How are you?"

"Then I'm more refined, I lay on the table and slept for a night, and woke up numb in the morning. Besides, my drinking capacity is stronger than theirs. After getting up, I bought them breakfast, and after eating, I drove brother-in-law to Mom's building, and I was energetic after coming back."

"Still refined?" Yang Tao couldn't help but curl her lips, "If you were really refined, who would drink to death like you guys? A group of drunks!"

"Originally didn't want to drink so much, later the situation changed, Guoran kept pouring it himself, then we few who were celebrating his birthday couldn't just watch, right? Didn't we drink several rounds, and all fell down."

"What happened?"

Wang Yan laughed, "Yesterday we gathered at Hu Qixing's shop, just about to leave, Guoran's ex-girlfriend came. I heard it from Qixing, originally Guoran and that Xu Guangmei, the ex-girlfriend is called Xu Guangmei, they were both about to get married, Guoran even bought the diamond ring, and Xu Guangmei agreed at the time, but said she had to go home. As a result, she didn't return after she went. Later, when he knew, people had already arrived in America and married an old man. She wasn't happy, Qixing said that old man was quite a playboy, and they divorced not long after. This time his ex-girlfriend came back, anyway, looking at the meaning, she wanted to break the mirror and reunite."

Yang Tao was full of gossip, "Really? Is that Xu Guangmei beautiful?"

"That's quite beautiful, big eyes, melon-seed face, a big wave, dressed quite fashionably, and has a beauty mark." Wang Yan reached out and gestured to the position of her forehead, "Of course, compared to you, she is still one grade lower and cannot be mentioned in the same breath."

"Really? Am I that good-looking?"

"What kind of talk is that, not confident anymore. I told you at the beginning, love at first sight, intention at first sight, can fascinate a wanderer like me who walks the world, thinking about wife, children, and a warm bed all day, if you are not good-looking, who is?"

"Die." Yang Tao was beautiful, "Then what does Guoran think?"

"Don't know, I guess he is awkward in his heart, otherwise how could we drink so much yesterday. Brother-in-law asked him this morning, and he was sprayed by him. I also just knew that Xu Guangmei was introduced by brother-in-law." Wang Yan laughed, "But as the saying goes, chasing a woman is separated by a layer of gauze, and they had a period before, so it's hard to say what will happen."

"That's true." Yang Tao nodded in agreement, "But that ex-girlfriend treated Guoran like that, if he accepted it and they were really together, I think he would be quite..."

"Hey, who can tell when the feeling arrives, let's just watch the fun from the side. What do you want to eat for lunch? It's about time, I'll go buy vegetables."

"Eat simply, you didn't rest well yesterday, don't toss, have a good rest."

"That won't do, can't treat the child badly. As a father, no matter how bitter or difficult, I must let the child be healthy."

"You stop it, others' bitterness and fatigue are hard work, what is yours? Drinking to death? Still have the face to say bitterness and fatigue?"

Married women are mostly the same, they won't let their men drink heavily, of course, except for those like Duan Xifeng who need it for work, especially Wang Yan, who is waiting to die and drinks heavily when there is nothing to do. Of course, Yang Tao is a bit unhappy. However, Wang Yan has too few friends, and it is understandable for him to socialize like this. However, supporting him doesn't mean letting him drink to death, so expressing her dissatisfaction slightly is understandable.

Wang Yan tactfully changed the subject, "You change your clothes, take advantage of the good weather now, let's go out and stroll around the vegetable market. You also move around, and you can eat more at noon, go quickly."

"Virtue..." Knowing that Wang Yan changed the subject and didn't want to hear her nagging, Yang Tao rolled her eyes and got up to return to the room to change clothes slowly...

Days passed like this, without waves. Every day, Wang Yan and Yang Tao strolled around looking at the renovation of the wedding dress shop and the new home, occasionally went to her mother-in-law's house to have a lively meal, quite good.

Zhuang Yan, whose leg was broken by Wang Yan, did not report to the police, but the enthusiastic emergency doctor reported it. No one can fall and break their leg into a comminuted fracture on a flat road. Only a layer of skin and flesh is connected, and it is clear that it was broken by someone. That is the crime scene.

The police who received the news went out overnight, explored the scene, and retrieved surveillance videos, wanting to lock the traces of the criminal suspect. But Wang Yan did it himself. Although he hadn't done it for a long time, his experience and skills were all there, and not all places had surveillance. Finally, the only things that caught him were two backs. Don't know how he came, don't know how he left, no clues at all, the difficulty of solving the case was too great. Can only pin hopes on the victim's statement the next day to see if there are any important clues.

But unfortunately, after hearing the police say that there were only two backs and the suspect could not be locked, Zhuang Yan, who had just had his leg connected and was lying in the hospital bed to recuperate, shook his head repeatedly, insisting that he fell accidentally, and expressed that he had never thought about reporting to the police from beginning to end.

The police also had experience. This person looked like he had offended someone, and they also investigated Zhuang Yan's resume and found that this person was not a good thing either. Since the victim didn't pursue it, after a lot of persuasion, there was no result, so it was like that. However, privately, the police who protect the safety of the people certainly cannot close the case hastily. For such dangerous elements with professional criminal methods and super strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, they certainly cannot let them go. If there is a discovery, they must be caught, and they must not affect the stability and harmony of society.

Without a job, without money, without a future, and with a broken leg, Zhuang Yan was certainly not convinced. Although he agreed happily before, that was a last resort, he was afraid that he would die directly there. Now in the hospital, he knew that the person was so meticulous, it looked like a habitual offender's method, he was afraid.

As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die. Although he had nothing, he didn't want to die, he wanted to live. Now it seems that the person wasn't scaring him, he really had the ability to kill him, and breaking a leg was considered light, how could he dare? Can only grit his teeth and admit it, after all, being lame is better than dying.

Wang Yan's influence on Guoran was limited. Of course, snatching his wife was the biggest influence, but without Yang Tao, he didn't intervene in the things that should happen in Guoran's life. It should still happen, but maybe Guoran's mentality was a bit different.

A few days after drinking with Guoran last time, the whole family was eating at her mother-in-law's house.

Su Qing said, "I saw in the newspaper that Guoran has become a leader of fear of marriage."

"Ah? Really?" Yang Tao looked at Wang Yan and then at Duan Xifeng, "Isn't it because that ex-girlfriend hurt him too deeply?"

"What ex-girlfriend?" Xue Sumei waved her hand and looked at Duan Xifeng unhappily, "I have to say two things to you, Xifeng, this is too outrageous. Look at what kind of thing you introduced to our Taozi back then? If it weren't for Taozi's success, finding someone like Wang Yan herself, I wouldn't dare to think about how annoying it would be if they were really in contact."

Wang Yan laughed, "Oh, alright, Mom, it's been so long, Taozi and I are living so well. Let's not think about those things, it's all in the past."

"Yes, it's all in the past, I'm just worried, I don't have any other meaning." Xue Sumei was straightforward, explained, and then turned to look at Duan Xifeng, "You are too unreliable, Xifeng."

"Auntie, he is indeed unreliable." Su Qing directly poked Duan Xifeng, "Don't make Auntie angry in the future, you know? Be a little reliable when you speak."

Duan Xifeng felt he was too innocent, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to nod repeatedly, "Yes, Auntie, it's all my fault. I will change, I will definitely change."

"You must change, I tell you, think three times before you act, do you know? Don't always do those thankless things."

Wang Yan changed the subject, "Hey, sister, what is written in the newspaper?"

Giving an appreciative look, Su Qing said, "It says marriage is like a mirror, showing the fairy's prototype as a witch, meaning that people change after marriage. It says that if one person eats and the whole family is not hungry, his money won't be enough after marriage and having children. Love is two people fighting, marriage is two families fighting. And what, marriage is like serving a sentence, he doesn't want to serve a sentence automatically. Anyway, in and out of words, it's all resistance to marriage. By the way, Taozi, what's going on with that ex-girlfriend you mentioned?"

"Ah, it's also what Wang Yan told me when he came back from drinking with Guoran two days ago. It's his ex-girlfriend..." Yang Tao repeated what Wang Yan said, and added, "Oh, I heard that Guoran's ex-girlfriend was introduced by brother-in-law."

Finished, this was the common thought of the other three. Su Qing looked at her good sister, speechless. Duan Xifeng looked at the brother-in-law opposite, eyes wide. Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, thinking whether pregnancy really makes one stupid for three years.

Looking at the eyes of her sister and brother-in-law opposite, Yang Tao also knew she said the wrong thing, so she stuck out her tongue cutely, then shrank her neck, and then lowered her head to eat.

Sure enough, Xue Sumei, who was sitting in the main seat, knocked on the bowl with chopsticks, "Look, Xifeng's unreliability is not recent, he has had this problem for a long time. Now that I see it, this Guoran is also a victim, it's all your business, Xifeng."

Su Qing explained, "Auntie, actually Xifeng is also kind-hearted."

"Yes, Auntie, I just saw that Guoran was single, and knowing someone suitable, I just wanted to match them." Who knew that woman was like this, I was kind-hearted, this can't be blamed on me, Auntie."

"Indeed, Mom, this has nothing to do with brother-in-law. He just bridged the gap, isn't it up to them to get along?"

Xue Sumei waved her hand, "Alright, I was just saying that. How could I really blame Xifeng, eat quickly."

Yang Tao nodded, "Just say you can't blame my brother-in-law, eat, eat. Mom, your tomato scrambled eggs today are just right, especially delicious."

"Delicious, right?" Xue Sumei smiled at her daughter, a mother's kindness, "That was fried by your brother-in-law, you hit the horse's hoof."

"Oh, Mom, so annoying..." Yang Tao was embarrassed, blushing and acting like a spoiled child.

Duan Xifeng laughed and put food for Yang Tao, "Eat more if it's delicious, I'm happy that the food I made is recognized."

The family laughed and chatted, lively, and the mother-in-law also laughed happily, very good.

"I have to make a call, such a big name, I want to know what Guoran thinks now." Wang Yan smiled and took out his phone, turned to Guoran's phone and called.

"No, why are you calling him? I guess he's worried now." Yang Tao patted him, blocking him.

"Friends, you have to care at this time, right brother-in-law?"

Duan Xifeng was a person who liked to join in the fun, nodding repeatedly, "That's right, this call must be made, he didn't let me say it before, now he's been made to fear marriage, and he's still a leader, must interview him."

Just at this time, the phone rang twice, and Guoran's voice came from the opposite side, "Hello, Wang Yan, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just caring about you, seeing how you are now. You made the news, you are a celebrity, so I hurried to flatter you, waiting for you to lead us when you are really famous."

"Stop it, you're also making fun of me." Guoran said helplessly, "This matter, I tell you, it was all caused by that kid Qixing, he found some friends to do a survey, and as a result, he put me on the newspaper. Besides, I didn't mean that at the time, now these media people are really grandsons. They take things out of context, they have no professional ethics or professional conduct at all."

Duan Xifeng interrupted, "Guoran, you are a national public official after all, this matter must be handled well, I tell you. Otherwise, the influence will not be good, your leaders will easily criticize you."

"Oh, Xifeng is also there. It's true, you two brothers-in-law, it's normal to be together." Guoran said, "Where is it easy to criticize, it has already been criticized, I was scolded well, and the leaders above are still asking for accountability. I just want to grab that grandson who reported, I want to spit on him, this person is too grandson."

"Indeed grandson." Duan Xifeng asked with a smile, "Guoran, do you have a shadow now because of Guangmei?"

"Hey, Xifeng, I tell you, you are also a grandson, and you still have the face to ask me? Wasn't that Guangmei introduced by you? How do you have the face to ask me? If it weren't for the fact that this matter is really annoying, I wouldn't be like this. Anyway, Guangmei is also misunderstanding, crying and crying with me, it's annoying."

Wang Yan looked at Duan Xifeng who was eating awkwardly and laughed, "Then how to deal with this matter?"

"How else can I deal with it? Can only wait for this heat to go down after a while, we have no way. But to say this matter is nothing, anyway, I don't want to get married, it's quite good to be alone. Alright, I have a call, won't talk to you, let's drink some other day."

"Alright, drink another day, hang up."

Responding, Wang Yan hung up the phone with a smile, looking at Duan Xifeng, "You are just not enough to be scolded, and you still go up to ask about Guangmei."

"I'm just caring about him, who thought this grandson wouldn't appreciate it."

Su Qing rolled her eyes at him, "Alright, don't worry about other people's business in the future, eat quickly."

Guoran's matter certainly had no influence on this family of five, but it was a fresh thing at the dinner table, a gossip heart that everyone had, and it passed after saying it. As for what Guoran is really like, it has nothing to do with them.

Subsequently, the topic at the dinner table gradually turned to things about pregnant women. Su Qing is now four months pregnant, her belly has grown, and Yang Tao has been pregnant for almost two months. Now the whole family eats together, except for occasionally chatting about other things, basically everything is about pregnancy, or the mother-in-law imagining the beautiful picture of her future grandson running around screaming, nothing interesting, but quite interesting...

Since knowing that Lan Weiwei is not particular, snatching her daughter's boyfriend, although from another perspective, Lan Weiwei can be considered to have helped her own daughter, but as a mother, Xue Sumei has opinions about Lan Weiwei, and has big opinions. Hating the house and the crow, for Lan Weiwei's mother, Lan Caiping, such an old opponent who fought for half a lifetime, although she didn't know her daughter's disgusting things, Xue Sumei didn't want to pay attention to her, it was too much.

And most importantly, by now, the outcome of the two has been decided. Her good son-in-law Wang Yan is there. Not to mention Lan Caiping, even other old colleagues and old friends, whether it is a son with prospects or a daughter who married well, none are as outstanding as her precious son-in-law. Just two lines, worth hundreds of millions, giving her daughter a property worth tens of millions, there is no opponent.

But didn't expect that Lan Caiping, who hadn't been seen for a long time and had no news, finally met.

It was her old colleague Liu Xiu, the owner of the grandson's first birthday party she attended when she fought with Lan Caiping last time. Called her to go out for tea, saying she wanted to gather, and hadn't been in touch for a long time, and Lan Caiping also missed her.

Of course, she had nothing to say, even if she didn't look at Lan Caiping, she had to look at Liu Xiu's face. The most critical thing was that Lan Caiping didn't know about Lan Weiwei's good deeds. If she wanted her to say it, she couldn't say it, feeling quite contradictory.

Responding to the invitation, carrying the so-called grocery bag bought by her precious son-in-law for tens of thousands, wearing beautiful clothes carefully selected by her daughter and paid for by her son-in-law, dressed up beautifully, looking at the beautiful self in the mirror who could vaguely see the charm of the year and the style not reduced by the year, Xue Sumei changed her shoes at the door with satisfaction, went out and took a taxi to the agreed tea house... ===== CHAPTER 322 =====
